I'm more impressed by those hoses that took forever to start melting.

Impressive that the glass covering the camera does not melt. I would assume the temps are stagaringly high

From what I read it's not glass. They use something like quartz or sapphire and actively cool it with a water/liquid nitrogen-type system.

It takes so much power to launch a rocket. Space travel looks so easy in Star Wars

I'm more impressed by the launch clamps that held the rocket in place for four and a half seconds between engine startup and when it was released to actually take off.

Here's the end of the ride. This is stuff that would have been science fiction 20 years ago. That 23-second video is amazing.

Most people don’t realize how powerful those engines are. When NASA test fired the Saturn V engines in Huntsville it could be felt for miles away. Dishes in the china cabinet would rattle.

At the moment, (as for as I can tell) the only way to own a piece of Space X is by buying shares of XOVR.
