WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=MPEGTS:900000,LOCAL:00:00:00.000 00:00:12.510 --> 00:00:18.685 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.975 00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:40.145 T- Minus 15 seconds. 00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:07.735 Vehicles pitching down range. 00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:33.860 00:01:35.010 --> 00:01:42.995 00:01:43.110 --> 00:01:50.970 Throttling down in preparation for the period of maximum dynamic 00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:58.565 pressure.I know the flight line at supersonic. 00:02:05.850 --> 00:02:12.335 We're through the period of maximum dynamic pressure. 00:02:13.850 --> 00:02:21.600 and won Bravo the call out from space. That's one of the abort sequences. That is a normal call. Everything 00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:22.685 continues to be good. 00:02:27.890 --> 00:02:29.785 Looks like a smooth ride for the crew. 00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:44.595 Space X has launched four civilians to space. Space X Web feedsnow confirming that it looks like a smooth ride for the crew. 00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:51.070 But of course we have to remind our viewers that the feed thatwe're getting right now is a few seconds delayed. So let's go 00:02:51.310 --> 00:02:56.505 straight back to Ed Ludlow was actually seeing this live. Edjust walk us through what's happening right now. 00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:05.080 Yeah incredible feeling here on the ground. You hear the peoplearound me the roar as the nine Merlin engines fired up lifting 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:11.860 it to that moment of Max. Q After 60 seconds the moment of maxmechanical stress on the rocket. And now I know your feed's a 00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:18.045 little bit behind but what we're looking for next is first stagemain engine cutoff where each of those nine engines shut down. 00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:25.750 You'll see it on your screen. Any second now. But it continuesusing its momentum going towards outer space. Astonishing to say 00:03:25.750 --> 00:03:32.170 that out loud given the context of who is sitting inside. CrewDragon the next milestone to look for after that of course is 00:03:32.170 --> 00:03:39.880 first and second stage separation. The Falcon 9 rocket boosteris made of two parts. The long thin part with that initial 00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:45.550 thrust will drop off. You'll see that on your screen now. Thereyou go. Incredible images that you guys have slightly behind 00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:52.150 here. The rockets actually now creating an incredible glow inthe sky behind me. Incredible. Or a kind of glow that I wish you 00:03:52.510 --> 00:03:59.380 guys could see. But we'll focus on the live feed. And now wehave a period of about five minutes where you get that second 00:03:59.380 --> 00:04:06.070 stage engine firing up. You're seeing that on your screen nowand it carries on up up and up towards its initial height before 00:04:06.070 --> 00:04:11.980 that final stage separation where the dragon capsule willseparate itself and carry on on its journey. Guys. God I'm out 00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:16.165 of breath. This isas exciting as you are. 00:04:17.589 --> 00:04:25.060 It is truly extraordinary. The crew officially on their way tospace. And as you mentioned it of course very early on you get 00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:32.050 that Max cue that point of maximum pressure on the mechanics onthe rocket. Right in terms of the stress. What other pressure 00:04:32.050 --> 00:04:39.265 points. Key points are we watching out for in terms of you knowjudging the success and also the safety of this flight. 00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:47.740 Yeah remember that that initial launch takes you through Earth'satmosphere. Right. Which is simply thicker. And as you get into 00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:54.070 sort of thinner higher atmosphere then you're actually able torev up the engines and build up the speed. Remember when they do 00:04:54.070 --> 00:05:00.760 hit a top speed it will be of seventeen thousand five hundredmiles an hour. I mean if you've only ever driven a car even if 00:05:00.760 --> 00:05:07.840 you've been in a race car you can't even begin to comprehend theG forces that the body is under. There's another notable 00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:14.350 milestone coming up. Of course guys which is that the firststage booster is currently making its way back down to earth 00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:21.760 remember. And at about 7 minutes and 30 seconds after launch itwill give its first stage entry burn. You'll see that on your 00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:28.990 screen. And remember this is how Space X has changed the gamechanged the economics of human spaceflight because that reuse 00:05:28.990 --> 00:05:35.590 ability means that we can go again and again. It means that itis now affordable for humans to go into space civilians to go 00:05:35.590 --> 00:05:38.715 into space. And that's one thing we'll be watching for on ourscreens.
