SpaceX just SHOCKED NASA's Scientists with 2 HEAVY rockets launch...
HUGE THANKS TO:

=======
Falcon Heavy launch

Starship is undoubtedly the brightest star on all stages now.
However, if you are looking at Starship only, it will be a grave miss, because Falcon Heavy - SpaceX's three-headed monster has also waked up and should not be disregarded!
How will SpaceX's capabilities once again shock NASA during this flight?
Find out everything about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech:
Both SpaceX's Falcon Heavy and Starship could take to the skies next week in an action-packed few days for Elon Musk's space firm.
I was even imagining they would happen on the same day.
It may seem implausible, but given SpaceX's capabilities, it's not entirely impossible. Who knows, it could happen! haha!!
In fact, while Starship's schedule is still unclear, the Falcon Heavy mission, set for April 18 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, will launch a powerhouse bus-sized broadband satellite for Viasat into a high-altitude circular geostationary orbit. This demanding flight profile will require the disposal of all three of the rocket’s reusable boosters.
The company’s sixth Falcon Heavy launch will send Viasat’s new broadband satellite into geostationary orbit on a roughly six-hour mission including multiple firings by the rocket’s upper stage. The maneuvers will place Viasat’s new six-ton internet satellite and a small rideshare communications satellite for the startup company Astranis into a circular orbit roughly 35,000 kilometers over the equator.
SpaceX technicians have assembled the three Falcon Heavy booster stages together inside a hangar just south of Launch Complex 39A. Ground crews rolled the rocket the quarter-mile distance to the launch pad Wednesday in preparation for a test-firing of its 27 Merlin main engines as soon as Thursday. The test-firing will last nearly 10 seconds, with the 27 engines briefly throttling up to generate some 5 million pounds of thrust.

Not shocked just Amazed! Space X just keeps doing it! And soon will have Starship in the mix for super heavy launches. Can’t wait until next week ! It should be a Glorious first launch!

The Satellite was probably built by Boeing in El Segundo, CA. Spacex is only four (4) miles away, and many of the resident geniouses are ex Boeing engineers!. Boeing owns part of United Launch Alliance, but the customer chose the competition (Spacex) to launch this special satellite. Elon should be proud!!

[kamisamaz]

I don't think they are shocked or amazed, but impressed.

[aaaaa]

Could you please name just one NASA scientist who were SHOCKED.

[mikemcc]

Imagine that the Owner of "Starlink" providing a competitor with internet serviceability. What a Guy.

[Van_Liberty]

Excellent and detailed video. Well done...

[khankrum]

If this is successful Space X will be the only kid on the block!

[Naomi.Robertson]

My fav episode so far b/c it doesn't have the creepy snow cream man sound track playing in the back ground.

[timhogan]

You mentioned something that was incorrect. You don't need more velocity to orbit higher, you need lest or it would fly out to space.

[bazoo]

Nothing shocking here. However, the first use of Falcon Heavy in the fully expendable mode for "direct to geostationary" insertion is interesting. This direct insertion has been done before with government payloads, but those were lighter (as I now see you said - this is another good overview.)

7:40 - Wait - so FH is not inserting the bird into its final orbit, just "close enough"? Why it it so?

SH/SS test flight, now licensed, will be, to paraphrase Musk, _exiting_ - that's guaranteed.

I'm shocked to think that anyone would be shocked over this method of launch of satellites. Falcon heavy concept is warmed over Titan III configuration for launching heavy payloads. Also a copy of Space shuttle launch config with SRB's. Recovery and reusability of boosters is new and may end up being useful. Shuttle engines are reusable but require quite a bit of maintenance and testing to insure safe reuse, this will be the same for SpaceX engines. Reusability of boosters will inevitably run up against a limit due to restressing components over some number of flights. Hopefully limits will be determined before loss of payloads or loss of life.

[arbigdog]

Wouldn't ViaSat be in direct competition with Starlink?

[johncopple]

Would Love to see Alex & Geddy remake their " Countdown " video with launch footage and communication's from this SpaceX mission.

I promise to click on the 👍icon every time you DO NOT use the word "SHOC" or "SHOCKED" in the header!

Alpha Tech learned article titling from The National Enquirer and Weekly World News. Bat Boy FTW!

[kennethralph]

I’ll Go on the First Launch.
Alone if possible.
I could & would be FAMOUS!!!
Either Way. 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[stephenkerley]

Just goes to show how inefficient NASA was and is.

[jameshoiby]

High latency geosynchronous internet services need to die. I wouldn't even wish Viasat on my enemies.

[cvsvwev]

He used roblox example of a falcon heavy lol

[michaelrezendes]

Not a shock to anyone. MISLEADING TITLE
