SpaceX Falcon 9 Sentinel-6 Mission | Rocket Lab recovers booster in major step toward Reusability
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite is named after Michael Freilich, the former head of NASA’s Earth science division who died of cancer in August. NASA and ESA named the satellite after Freilich in January before his death. Freilich’s son Daniel and daughter Sarah with Freilich’s baby granddaughter Rosie viewed the launch on site. On 21st November, Saturday, SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched this advanced ocean mapping Freilich satellite into orbit for National Aeronautics & Space Administration and the European Space Agency from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

4:16 No satellite measures anything in inches. All engineering and science are done in metric. Stop using idiotic units of measure, please.
Good stuff
But defense updates sounds just like you same channel?
Comment to Narrator: It's not the 'Ma-high' Peninsular from where Rocket Lab launches in New Zealand, it's the 'Ma-hee-a' Peninsular. If you are going to continue commenting on things New Zealand, you are going to have to start learning the language (Te Reo). Please get it right next time!
The correct pronunciation for RocketLab's New Zealand launch facility is Mahia… Maa-hee-a (not Mahai as per this narration).

Recovery and reuse is not going to lower Rocket Lab's costs. The rocket is too small for that. Recovery and refurbishment essentially cost as much as a new rocket. What it will do is allow them to significantly increase their flight cadence, because they won't have to build a new rocket every time. Peter Beck has been very clear about this in his public statements.
Very cool. Last year my editor died, I launch him in a rocket, 4 secs. after liftoff he was 3 miles away going out of site at mock 1. I don't know how many laws I broke but there was no one around to stop me.
Congratulations to New Zealand and the US on their progress with rocket lab!!! Diverse and risky innovation is what will keep the free world ahead of China and prevent them from continuing to export their tyranny! ❤️
The question I have is whether we will ever find out if the ocean water ever drops, or will the powers to be ever admit to it.
It was at this moment that knew, all those years of engineering studies' agony were leading to something amazing!
There is something wrong with the concept of measuring millimeters with instruments accuracy of two centimeters.
STOP BORING ME!!
.75 inches accuracy seems pretty low. I would hope for a millimeter accuracy.
Great video
Man-made Climate change nonsense. Say a lie long and often enough and others will believe you…
Hey, no problem pimp. Love the voice. No homo lol
Elon Musk is a visionary on another level.
Best content on space minus the few big guys like everyday astronaut and scott manly but they miss about 95% of space news.
Amazing video. Also Could I talk to you about my Aerospace company. I think It might add something that is a little more random but interesting nonetheless.
That was the first launch I've ever gone to yesterday. completely did not expect the sonic boom as soon as the booster returned and landed.
Rocket lab can put legs on booster and land with parachutes.
How can u reuse it after in salt water ? Looks like a lot of refurbishment to me. Why not land it on the ground spacex does it u can too. Work on it.
Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ ??? ???
Since sea levels are rising due to climate change. And NASA and SpaceX are looking for water in the Moon or Mars, it would be a good idea to transfer water over to those places. The only consern is that sea levels rise because of warming, and water cools the Earth, so would not be wise to take water out, so we need to figure something out to furder cool our planet first. Crazy ideas running out
Why did you not talk about gnome chompski
Why no videos of the SpaceX launch and first stage landing?
Thank you!
Space X are killing it at the moment. Can't wait to see Starship launch for the first time, that thing is going to be crazy.

I always enjoy your information rich and diverse presentations. I particularly like your crisp, clear speaking voice — best delivered narrative of all the rocket-jockeys out there. Keep 'em coming!
Rocketlabs goal with reusability isnt economy, its faster launch frequency.
