In this episode, hangout with your Science Communicator Alex for the first commercial launch of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy. They attempted to land all three rockets, two side boosters and one center core, on land and at sea on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You". SpaceX also attempted to recover the two fairings for the first time, enabling more reusability of each part of the rocket, driving the cost to go to space dramatically! They launched the ArabSat 6A satellite that will provide for communication coverage for people in the Middle East and Africa. Launch Hangouts are just that - a hangout. We watch a launch, share some extra knowledge you won't get in the live broadcast, and you get to enjoy the reactions of space nerds! I can't wait to go see a launch LIVE and in-person. The most difficult thing about going to see a launch is you need to take a few days off of work just in case the launch gets delayed. From my research, it seems like you need 5 days to play it safe. This launch was delayed twice, and almost had to be delayed a few days later due to the launch window. But I want to go see a launch this summer, and thanks to SpaceX’s launch schedule that’s a possibility! See you on the Space Coast this summer!
7 years...5 blocks...27 engines...2 booster landings...one spectacular Falcon Heavy launch. All that in this episode of Talking Space. On this very special episode of Talking Space, we discuss the successful demonstration flight of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. The launch took off February 6th, 2018 at 3:45pm ET followed by the two side boosters landing a short time after. The core stage attempted to land on a barge but failed, and we'll explain why. Our own Sawyer Rosenstein was there, so be ready to immerse yourself in the sounds of 27 engines firing at once, and be prepared to get startled by six simultaneous sonic booms. In addition to that, we discuss our thoughts on the payload, Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster car with a dummy named "Starman" inside aimed for a mars orbital insertion distance without the insertion. You'll get our honest opinions on why some of us like the payload and others don't. In addition, Sawyer goes into everything that happened from L-1 until after the liftoff. Hear what it's like to go inside the pad, see more media at the press site than in at least 3 years if not more. You'll also hear both the good and bad of how the media was handled. Lastly, we break down the numbers compared to other launch vehicles and see how powerful Heavy really is, and how those numbers led to a war of words on Twitter amongsome major private space companies. In the show we discuss the comparison between its announcement and its launch.
