its crazy how the blackness of space slowly becomes a blueish atmosphere during reentry
-
"In a skip entry, you come into the atmosphere at a shallower angle, then you skip back out into space and come back in again. It's kind of like when you skip stones on a lake." 😮Great 🎉
-
The valves for the thrusters clacking are insane. Little microcorrections just about everywhere.
-
I just can't get over how insanely fast it's going to make the ground appear to move so much. It's going 7000 mph faster than the ISS at 17000 mph. Coming in HOT 🔥
-
The coolest part to me is how the capsule is steering itself by rolling from side to side.

In "Artemis 1," the spacecraft Orion returned to Earth. When it reached approximately 61,000 meters above the Earth, it temporarily resurfaced like a bouncing stone thrown on the surface of a lake. The purpose of this resurfacing was to adjust the landing site so that the team on the ground could retrieve it more reliably and quickly, and to relieve the gravity on the passengers by dispersing the heat and shock of atmospheric entry

Flat earthers punching air rn

The Oscar for best camera operator goes to, whoever operated or programmed the operation. Of this shot. They caught everything perfectly, even down to the parachutes disconnecting in sequence. Well done.
-
I bet flat-earthers love this video.
-
A great demonstration of Engineering, design and execution. Getting closer and closer to our next step of creating a permanent base on the moon .❤

European Service Module seen burning up around 1:35
-
This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen
-
I suddenly feel snack-y. This totally sounds like me making popcorn in my glass-lid large pot.😂
-
Love the sound of the atmosphere coming in with the thruster solenoids going at it!
-
Strange that alien/UFOs as described in folklore, never have any scorch marks from the hellish fires of reentry?
-
Now that’s what I call coming in hot. Literally and figuratively. Did you see how fast the horizon was rising in the window initially. Angle of attack was insane even though it’s sped up about 3x.
-
I love it when you can hear the RCS thrusters popping off and the sound of entry. And when you see the literal top of the atmosphere to give you scale as to show how f*&^g fast this craft is moving.
-
I wish this had been filmed with a 360-degree VR camera. The views in VR would have been spectacular.
-
Now THAT was EPIC in so many ways. Mind blown!

This thing got safely down from Space... faster than it takes me to drive to the corner store... 1 mile away.
