SpaceX will be launching 60 demonstration satellites for their Starlink Internet constellation. The Falcon 9 will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS).
The first stage booster for this mission is B0149. It is flying its third mission, it previous launched the Telstar 18V satellite in September of 2018 and flew the Iridium 8 mission in January of this year. It will be landing approximately 621 km (385 miles) downrange on the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS), Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY). This will be one of the farthest downrange landing locations for a Falcon 9 so far.

remember when this was a big deal? now its its standard AND they do dedicated ride share
The old tune undeniably decide because war singly rule off a meaty step-sister. helpless, miscreant impulse
Well this is information. I appreciate time effort in all achievements so far….. keep pushing Tim..
Is that another satellite or space junk passing through the top left corner at 1:34:34
I know this video is old now but i really enjoy watching these videos because now im geeked out on Rockets! I love Engineering and everything around it and i know that is very generic but literally anything in engineering. You dont tend to realize how cool things are until people like you Tim, come along and help us all understand in more simple terms. So big thanks to you for doing what you do.
There is a lot of concern with the astronomy community that Starlink satellites will ruin astronomical observations.
How can we let Elon Musk know that some simple changes to his satellites need to be done so they don't ruin astronomy and the ability of observatories to make new discoveries?
A little black paint and some discussions with the astronomy community is needed as soon as possible!
Watching this again, just because!
Metric Tons of course
where did you get that little Falcon Heavy model?
OMG you said spicy so many times now all i can think of when i see spacex stuff is… the newest spice girl is .. spice X! ahhh i'm 48 years old, why brain, WHY!
I wonder when dragon will come to KSP
Just recently found your channel in my suggested about a week ago, gotta say im liking the content. Your explanation on the different types of engines was very in depth and for the most part, was pretty easy to understand (had to look up some terms). Keep up the great content. Was steadily losing interest in astronomy in general and SpaceX has revived that and you deliver the content 🙂
Tim Dodd I have a meteorite, I bet you would love to have it, it’s over 6 pounds… I think it should be sitting on Elon musk’s desk if you could help me get it him I have a piece of it for you as it broke into two.. [email protected]yahoos.com
We have 200 mbps+ downlink speeds here, and there are faster domestic options locally. Latency to the ISP server, is usually around 9 to 18 ms. It will be interesting to see what Starlink will do, when it's fully operational. Latency will be around at least 0.5 seconds, but the transfer speeds could be very competitive.
The Starlink satellites are flaring quite spectacularly, up to around 2nd or 3rd Magnitude. Astrophotographers are going to hate that, but they're also stimulating people to 'get out and get looking up' at the night sky. They've spread out around a whole orbit now, 2nd June, 2019, so online orbital predictions about the 'first' and the 'last' one are becoming meaningless. They're visible beyond overhead at times, and pretty much right through the Summer night, here in Central England.
Does Tesla currently produce the solar panels used on satellites?
So being this will ultimately be a satellite based global internet , wouldn't this be an acceptable and safe way for a non Terran civilization to make contact with us?
These Krypton ion thrusters, how long do they last before it runs out? actually how long are these star link satallites will last in orbit?
I’m sure this is a dumb question but I really struggle to imagine what’s beneath a rocket launch. Knowing the forces that must be applied are quite literally astronomical.. if you could explain this that would be amazing
5G satellites…. hmmm all those Ghz killing life giving DNA….frequencies that should not be in the lower atmosphere… any thoughts
30:53 launch
Cant wait for the Kessler Syndrom
"And it's really small like… okay some of it is like a car… or bus…"
lol
What's that in the top left of screen @1:34:34?

I was checking out the planet's tonight and turned around to see star link going across the sky. Amazing sight.
Just caught the constellation over nwst washington. Such a wonder to watch with the naked eye. Anyone got pictures to share??
finally the lag is GONE!
1:49:31 The deployment, how they aligned and spread out, is why I cam here, thank you for that 🙂
Launching 60 satellites out of 12,000 is about 0,5% right…soooo that means starlink will be buffering for a long time till its @ 100%
It´s all sunshine and roses….until it becomes SKYNET !!! 😉

I am a casual SpaceX fan and that video on engines was so awesome and informative.
the earth is
flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat, flat
Wow ! What did we just see ! Nothing ! The camera filming the motor is not even shaking ! Again it landed without us seing anything ! ?
Oh Elon, would you PLEASE offer Tim a ride on a Crew Dragon. He needs to visit space.
The near future is looking so exciting, the 2020s are going to be an awesome time for Space & Technology.
18.5 tons is remarkible payload nearspace or otherwise – YEEESSS – BOOHOOHOOHWAAAHAAHAAAHAAhaaahaaa !
SpaceX should hire you to do the launch commentary
at 43:52 "Horses named Mark vs those named…" you pause like you're trying not to spew! "etrón"
EA, cool glasses and turbo-tech.. I see they used the Russian RD-180 closed circuit type system for MAX power, so cooly HOT.
someone should tell te space x guy what "Max Q" means…
5G gona kill us
太棒了啦✌✌✌
What kind of computer hardware are you using? 6 hours to render, sounds like you need some more thrust.
Any word on the location / tracking and spread of these satellites yet? I spotted a trail of individual lights in the sky over the UK late last night. It wasn’t a plane with contrail, it wasn’t a meteor. It looked like a faint line of little satellites!
Just noticed that Tim follows AirforceProud95 18:05
Re – hitching a ride – they need to launch a tonne of these things. It's looking like 24 launches in the next couple years.
Still chewing on raptor dong?
I'm pretty sure New Glenn is safely in the "Super Heavy Lift" category of rockets, because the payload numbers Blue Origin advertises are for reusable launches. If a New Glenn is expended, it could easily surpass the 50 mT to LEO threshold to be considered Super Heavy Lift.
