ORBCOMM-2 Full Launch Webcast ctm magazine
With this mission, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will deliver 11 satellites to low-Earth orbit for ORBCOMM, a leading global provider of Machine-to-Machine communication and Internet of Things solutions. The ORBCOMM launch is targeted for an evening launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. If all goes as planned, the 11 satellites will be deployed approximately 20 minutes after liftoff, completing a 17-satellite, low Earth orbit constellation for ORBCOMM. This mission also marks SpaceX’s return-to-flight as well as its first attempt to land a first stage on land. The landing of the first stage is a secondary test objective.

In some ways, I think this moment will take prevalence in greatness over some more ambitious SpaceX achievements after it.
The flight of Falcon Heavy was amazing. Crewed flights feel like we've recovered lost ground. Starship flights thus far seem like something out of science fiction.
But by the time all those came, and when we see fantastic sights like Moon and Mars missions… we know now that SpaceX is driving forward the future.
This moment though, when they recovered a booster, was the moment we all realized just what SpaceX could do. It was the moment they went beyond what had ever been done, and changed spaceflight forever.
I can't wait for what lies in store.
2021: the "Starship has landed"
That was monumental. The funny thing is them chanting USA, I am born and raised in the USA and I don't chant that at a whim, it seems strange. Elon is from South Africa so why?
This is for Space not a country.
that's how spacex made history of landing their first falcon 9 booster B1019 back on land
8 kilometers per second. That's nuts.
“LZ 1, The Falcon has landed.”
hello from 2021. Starship now exists. How time has flied.
Lol the USA chants after it landed… not so sure that would happen in 2021
Hearing that reaction at 32:30 for the landing of Falcon 9 gave me goosebumps and had me with a goofy ass smile. Such a great accomplishment!
32:47 My class after me doing a fine magic trick
What was an amazing thing 6 years ago is now routine
Welcome Home B1019
33:21 "Holy shit! We did it!"
the world's first history of falcon 9 landing
To the men and women of the future: It all started here.
17:45 – prescient.
I am not an American…… but everytime i see this landing i cry tears of joy and get chills. I'm very grateful and blessed to have witnessed this historical moment in my generation. Looking forward to starship super heavy both return to LZ. Much love from ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😭😭😭👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💪🏿💪🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Here after the launch of Inspiration4, the first civilian crew ever. We’ve come a long way. Wonderful to see where it all began. 🚀 🚀 🚀
damn i can never watch this without tearing up
Don’t think most of our generation can comprehend how amazing of a feat this was. It nearly brings me to tears each time I watch it
33:02 All the hands lol

It doesn't matter, guys. How fast we go, how far we go. The sheer amount of effort we put into this is astounding. We are humanity, and we're a stubborn bunch. We always make it work. Mission control, engineers, construction team, everyone involved in the project deserves a hug. You guys did it… And you made humanity proud.
Is the video and audio really out of sync, or is it just me?
so thankful to have Tim asking the average Joe's questions in average joe's language <3
I miss watching all of these launches live with my mother and father. This was a family event for us and it didn't matter what time of day or night we'd watch together.
I bet that building was louder than any sports stadium on the planet in history when Falcon 9 hit the deck in one piece.
the sound is wrong and not in the right place
Why is the audio so far out of sync?
Who is watching it at 2021? On 5th year anniversary
100 landings in 6 years!
6 years and a 100 landings later! You rock SpaceX!
Hey, you from six years ago, I have to tell you something.
Remember that time when you thought this landing was just a one-off even after that successful barge landing the following year?
Well let me tell you this: after exactly six years, they did their 100th.
100th today!!
6 years ago today
The audio/video are soooo out of sync on this video still 🙁 You can't really enjoy it this way. I wish @SpaceX can fix it. This is a historic video that should be preserved for generations to enjoy.
6 years ever since history, Congrats SpaceX!
6 years after we commemorate this incredible feat.
And today it marks the 100th time we recover a first stage. Just amazing.
(the sound got completely out of synch for some reason, plz someone fixt it 😉 this video is a piece of history now)
Edit: or you can open a duplicate tab and have it approximately 9 minutes and 20 seconds delayed to synch its audio with this video.
The sound and picture don't work for me
What happened that the video is now so messed up? The audio and the video is totally out of sync… I remeber seeing this live back in the day, this video should be perfect for future generations!!
Since a while the audio is completely off on this one, @spacex ?
what is up with the audio
