SpaceX's Mini Navy - Revolutionizing Rocket Reusability

Місяць тому

The vital role of Autonomous Spaceport Droneships (ASDS) in revolutionizing rocket reusability. In this detailed video, we unravel the necessity of droneships for high-performance missions, the evolution of these marine marvels, and the unique technology that sets them apart from ordinary barges. Discover how SpaceX's marine assets contribute to their mission success, defy conventional recovery methods, and what the future holds for these floating launch pads. Whether you're a space enthusiast or curious about marine engineering, this video is packed with insights into the intersection of aerospace and maritime technology.

This channel is literally an unbroken chain of absolute bangers with near daily uploads. HOW?!

They love what they do for sure

From a former sailor, this was a fascinating review of the SpaceX's seabased assets. This video really nailed down the challenges to develop these assets. I am impressed with SpaceX's at sea accomplishments.

@Billybobble1 Місяць тому

The employees of that mini navy have some of the coolest jobs in the world.

Ryan's narration is a pleasure to listen to! Well done Ryan!

@MicahTischler Місяць тому

Just the video I'd been hoping to see for some time. Nice work!

@Demi2210UA Місяць тому

Yeah I was hoping to see this kind of video for a few years, but there we are, bringing new and more info into our nerd brains 😅

@mikemars5984 Місяць тому

You know, it's really great to see a young person like yourself be interested and promote space exploration and rocket technology. Some young people scoff and tell us it's all fake, cgi, etc. Good luck to you. I'm one of the older generations who witnessed Sputnik and the Apollo programs to the moon. So I'll miss all the great things to come but you'll see it all. Mars landings, the new telescopes explaining our origin, finding life, etc. Keep it up. My tip, instead of reporting on SpaceX, get a job with SpaceX. Be there. Be the first.

@kargaroc386 29 днів тому

Well then who will report on it? lol we can't *all* work there. Also I bet that'll only leave the, uh, ones that aren't "all that", not "the A team", to do the reporting.

@danswan1047 Місяць тому

Excellent overview of the SpaceX fleet. I wonder how much money has been saved so far by these reusable rockets. It must be astronomical.

Thanks Ryan and NSF crew. Great video. Really informative. Hope we'll see lots more of these deeper dives in the near future! 👏👏

Very informative. I never thought much about the drone ships (other than being autonomous being cool) or the SpaceX sea fleet. Thanks for another great video.

Falcon 9 does not get enough love. It is flying so that Starship can... well, fly too, but better.

@jonny3003 Місяць тому

I like the droneship names taken from SciFi novels. Hopefully some Starships or boosters will get similar SciFi names in the future too.

@curtiswfranks Місяць тому

I have a list of The Culture series ship names which I want to see get used. (It is not every ship name from the books. Just the ones which I think would work well)

@briangodfrey7424 Місяць тому

Yeah. It's weird that barges get names and the stars of the show, amazingly reliable reusable spacecraft, only get numbers.

Awesome video NSF team! I have always had a lot of questions about the drone ships and I think you answered them all. It’s interesting that we get caught up with Starship and forget that Falcons are carrying tons of stuff into space every other day or so.

@shannonwoodcock1035 Місяць тому

Excellent video. Almost 10 years simce the first successful Falcon9 landing and still, nobody is close. By the time Starship becomes operational along with its intended cadence and rapid reuse. Where does that leave the competition? I dont think they stand a chance.

Any chance to see a 30+ Starlink mission on an expendable 'bareback' launch? How about a 25 ton ISS module shaped like a fairing? Or a 25 ton welded one-piece Cargo+Trunk module with no heatshield between them?

@donjones4719 Місяць тому

9:10 and 10:00. The burn marks on the deck show the booster consistently lands towards the stern rather than in the center of the bullseye. I've seen this on at least one other drone ship, and for quite a while. NSF, do you know why?

@gregsutton2400 Місяць тому

@jamescobban857 Місяць тому

It took five years and twenty launches for SpaceX to recover the first Falcon 9. SpaceX now hopes to achieve that for the Starship Booster in 2024 on its sixth launch.
