SpaceX Thales Mission ctm magazine
SpaceX’s customer for this mission is Thales Alenia Space. With this flight, the Falcon 9 rocket will deliver the TurkmenÄlem52E/MonacoSat satellite to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. The Thales launch window is targeted to open at approximately 6:14pm EDT on Monday, April 27, 2015, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. If all goes as planned, the satellite will be deployed approximately 32 minutes after liftoff. A live launch webcast will begin here at 6:00pm EDT.

Another great webcast and launch. Killing it. Cant wait to see the first manned flight!!!
Can we get an explanation of what all the footages in space are of. The various engines, the no signal pic, maybe even what the acronyms in the countdown are.

Awesome!
from someone like me with no rocket sense at all, I still have to wonder why a first stage is needed at all.
I would think a rail gun could do the same thing as a first stage would and have no first stage to recapture/remanufacture. I couldn't imagine what it would cost to make a rail like that but if successful it should greatly drop the price per launch.
Thoughts?
I would like to know what Elon thinks about Reaction Engines?
Elon Musk launches a satellite for a country whose idiot citizens still believe that gays should be punished, tortured and imprisoned for being who they are. Great.
wish i could figure out how to mod KSP to make the exhaust expand with altitude like you see in real launches.
What is that vapor coming out from the rocket?
Amazing

What a joke!
Space is neat. Elon is neat. NASA is neat. SpaceX is neat. everything's pretty neat right now.
I wonder how many times a day the engineers think if only earth was just a little smaller. There would be less gravity and all this shit would be so much easier
Awesome
1:18:37 – KSP is engaged
spaceX, the most badass space company, because reusable rockes put the final frontier close to our homes
wait is spaceX its own company cool
And that… Is how you do that…
Why do I feel like space programs should have been privatized all along? I'm sure a company like SpaceX wouldn't have allowed disasters like Challenger to happen.
A bird cross the scene at 47:46. 🙂
What is that big blue ball at 1:13:50?
At least they didn't launch in bad weather like Challenger did.
Is it because the final stage is still technically within atmosphere that's there's a faint engine noise?
At least we sent the satellite
