Watch SpaceX Launch 60 More Starlink Satellites!!

SpaceX’s Starlink 13 mission will launch 60 Starlink satellites atop its Falcon 9 rocket. The Falcon 9 will lift off from Launch Complex 39a (LC-39a), from Kennedy Space Center, in Florida. Starlink 13 will mark the 14th Starlink mission, boosting the total number of Starlink satellites launched to 833.

Without a doubt, yours is the best of all the channels which cover the space race.

Tim, don't let the haters get you down. You are making a short to medium length documentary movie every month. That is freaking insane. Those who do not appreciate the research, fact-checking, and editing that goes into making one of your videos aren't people worth listening to.

Hey Tim, I noticed a small error on the simulated telemetry feed for the booster: The unit for the velocity is probably wrong, since it displayed some maximum velocity over 8000 m/s (so more than orbital velocity, which caught my attention). I checked on the flight club website and there the maximum velocity for the booster was shown to be slightly over 2000 m/s. A quick calculation suggests that the number you displayed was in fact in km/h, although being labeled m/s. Would be cool if you changed that for the next stream :) Apart of that I totally love your work and can never wait for your next stream/ video! Greetings and a huge thank you from Germany!

Is it just me? Every launch i'm simply amazed at recovering the booster. There is some stamp sized ship moving so slow if at all some 350+ miles that will be in the right spot. All the while an object that make it to orbit 10 or 20 minutes before, and land it not only on the ship but upright, not hitting too hard to damage itself or the ship... Crazy wild impressive....

I've watch nearly every space x launch videos. It never gets old I'm still amazed every single time I watch.

The Moon is gradually receding from the Earth, at a rate of about 4 cm per year. This is caused by a transfer of Earth's rotational momentum to the Moon's orbital momentum as tidal friction slows the Earth's rotation. That increasing distance means a longer orbital period, or month, as well.

To picture what is happening, imagine yourself riding a bicycle on a track built around a Merry-go-Round. You are riding in the same direction that it is turning. If you have a lasso and rope one of the horses, you would gain speed and the Merry-Go-Round would lose some. In this analogy, you and your bike represent the Moon, the Merry-Go-Round is the rotating Earth, and your lasso is gravity. In orbital mechanics, a gain in speed results in a higher orbit.

The slowing rotation of the Earth results in a longer day as well as a longer month. Once the length of a day equals the length of a month, the tidal friction mechanism would cease. (ie. Once your speed on the track matches the speed of the horses, you can't gain any more speed with your lasso trick.) That's been projected to happen once the day and month both equal about 47 (current) days, billions of years in the future. If the Earth and Moon still exist, the distance will have increased to about 135% of its current value. Fortunately the sun will burn up both the moon and earth before this happens. So we are stuck with our moon.

All your videos are great. I've re-watched a few several times. Learn something new every time.

[SolomanTiger]

Incredible job with the simulated telemetry and as always I enjoy watching your coverage of these launches. Can't wait for SN8!

[MrStorbeck]

Tim: live streams constantly.

People: why aren't you putting out videos?

Tim I like the livestreams. Great job keep up the good work!

[SushiByTheSea]

At 33:28 on your video, you see some stuff on the second stage vacuum engine that slide dow the exhaust tube and continues for awhile to accumulate....what is that?

[forgeskygaming]

That fairing catch on mstree was so funny I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that 😂😂😂

[MoempfLP]

That booster landing was so satisfying.

[reasonablebeing]

What was that "flare up" of the rocket exhaust at 28:50 in the left picture just after liftoff? Was it a reflection?

[wellspj]

I was wondering how much the landing barge dips into the water when the returning stage lands.I was watching the speed and distance meters as it landed and it seems to land fairly hard. But it does not look like it.

[-A-c]

I kno you're busy Tim but could you try to do a vid of syncing Declan's telemetry with the booster's landing?

[DannyJoh]

If people think you're lazy and you make to few videos, I guess it only means that they really love them and want more. Otherwise they wouldn't care. Thank you for putting all that time into research and presenting the information in an awesome way. I really enjoy your videos and you've reignited my interest for space and space flight. Thanks for your great work!

[RobJPhillips]

Excellent job with the simulated telemetry!
I wish that SpaceX would broadcast live stage one and stage two telemetry. Thanks for what you do!

[iandennis]

Great video Tim. It took me 7 hours to get through it because of family obligations but I loved it anyway especially all the wonderful questions your answers I do believe some of it is starting to stick. Keep up the good work.

[njipods]

what's the "fluff" on the fuel ring? it seems to fall way from the foil blanket and some off it gets stuck on the fuel distribution pipes on the nozzle?
