Rocket Lab Takes Flight, Delta IV Hot Aborts, and SpaceX Lands Another Falcon 9!

Last week saw the unfortunate abort of the DeltaIV heavy, but the successful launch of a Falcon 9 and the 14th launch of Rocket Lab's Electron rocket! There's a lot to look forwards to over the next 7 days as well...

This video is intended for audiences 13+ years old.

Did YouTube remove their new "timeline" thing? I usually set these videos up so the play bar shows where each segment begins and ends, but it doesn't look like it's working today. Here are the timecodes:

Also worth noting that it was Rocket Lab’s electron return to flight after the recent failure on flight 13

The falcon 9 launch was notable because it was the first launch to polar orbit from Florida in something like 40 years. I don't think that was mentioned.

I will always love Rocket Lab’s sense of humor in their mission names.

I love these little episodes. Though they may not get as many views as the kerbal content I actually look forward more to it every way. Its a nice thing to pop on while I have lunch and a cuppa!

"Space lands another falcon 9"

Title is a bit wonky

[Readyplayer]

It's almost like alaska isn't a great place to launch rockets

Hearing Matt say New Zealand makes me so proud

[donochetti]

I love that you include "space weather".

Its kinda funny that my grandfather worked on the Viking Program. Some of his parts were on that lander.

[ranger]

I can’t believe that “Space” landed another falcon 9 booster that’s crazy.
