Transporter-8 Mission
403,306
Published 2023-06-12
This was the ninth launch and landing of this Falcon 9 stage booster, which previously supported the launch of NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, and four Starlink missions. On board this flight were 72 spacecraft, including CubeSats, MicroSats, a re-entry capsule, and orbital transfer vehicles carrying spacecraft to be deployed at a later time.

200th landing of an orbital class rocket! That's 200 more than anyone else, and more landings than some entire rocket families have had launches! Bravo SpaceX!
-
Came to watch histroy, stayed for the epic beats. 10/10
-
That animation at 1:37:47 really put things into perspective. Well done, SpaceX!
-
T+0:53 - watch the shock wave, first on the nose cone, then all along the booster as the craft goes supersonic. Wow.
-
Great to have Jessie back, our favorite commentator !
-
Animation was classic. Amazing how the tempo increases. This is how spaceflight should work. Go SpaceX!!!!!!
-
Beautiful shot of the shockwave as the rocket broke the sound barrier. I never get tired of watching these launches, especially the Stage 1 landings.

The incredible live transpoter-8 mission. It was unbelievable for me, I live in the north of Iran, the eastern part of the Caspian Sea, I was watching this live on the roof of my house at 2:30 in the morning, when suddenly I saw the movement of a luminous object in the starry sky. It fell to the east, I saw in live that this satellite was moving eastward exactly from above the Caspian Sea, it was unbelievable for me that what I was watching on SpaceX live was moving right above my head and with It was also visible to the naked eye

Love how in the Falcon 9 Timeline Showcase animation at 1:37:45 they showed the evolution of the Falcon 9 rocket. If you pay close attention, you'll see the 1.0 variant, the 1.1 variant and the current FT variant. Great animation and can't wait for next launch. Edit: There's also Falcon Heavy launches in the animation ! Just missed it.

She’s the best, I enjoy hearing her enthusiasm. She seems to really enjoy these launches. Will watch again.
-
The animation at the end was staggering. Great job SpaceX

-
Man, it never ceases to amaze me how they land that even when blinded by Cloud cover, bravo SpaceX
-
A slight intake of breath at 19:32 when one landing leg appeared to stick, but all was well. Nice work, SpaceX and congratulations.
-
I caught the landing gear on that one leg that was slow to deploy. The Team did see that as well. But... Go, SpaceX!!! 👍🤘
-
Love the end animation of launches v landings up to todays mission for Falcon 9

Congrats to SpaceX and all the wonderful engineers like Jessie Anderson doing a great job narrating the launch and landing.
-
Excellent mission. From DARPA to the Vatican. Quite the eclectic group. Thanks for sharing.🚀🚀🚀👍. Congrats on 200th landing.

Just want to say thank you to the SpaceX team, from Elon Musk to the engineers to the people who do everyday tasks-especially the webcast team! As a boy, I eagerly awaited every Gemini and Apollo launch, and I was disappointed when the Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were all starved for fuds and ended early. SpaceX has picked up where we should Have been 30 years ago and is taking us to the moon, Mars and beyond... and doing it in a cost-effective, rapid manner- rather than the slow, bloated and wasteful programs of many government aerospace contractors. The meek may inherit the Earth, but the Bold shall seize the Universe. Keep flying.
