00:01All right, let's do this.
00:03Look at that!
00:06All right, over first!
00:08Over first!
00:09Woo!
00:11Oh my God!
00:13Oh my God!
00:15Look at this!
00:17Look at the Earth!
00:18Look at the Earth!
00:20Oh man!
00:21Oh my God!
00:25This is like...
00:27This is like insane!
00:28Okay, I got a few things to do.
00:32All right!
00:34First for you!
00:35Cam appears!
00:40Dude, look at the Earth!
00:41Just look outside!
00:43Oh my God!
00:44Where's face?
00:46Man is happy, buddy!
00:49India with pride!
00:50India to space!
00:51India to space!
00:53Woohoo!
00:56Hey there!
00:59Eight...
01:00Seven...
01:01Six...
01:03Five...
01:04Four...
01:05Command engine start...
01:06Two...
01:07One...
01:08Zero...
01:09Ignition...
01:09Start...
01:11Two...
01:14Two...
01:15Off a goop!
01:18Two...
01:21One...
01:21Two...
01:23New Shepard has cleared the tower...
01:26two...
01:27Three...
01:28A rocket and our astronauts are heading up to space,
01:31Nice. Now you can follow along on the bottom left of your screen, the altimeter on the left, excuse me,
01:40altimeter on the right, and the speedometer on the left.
01:5010,000 feet.
02:04All right. As we go through this flight, there are a couple of milestones here. The first one will be
02:09max Q. That's when the dynamic pressures are the highest on the vehicle. We go from 100% power, pull
02:17it back a little bit as we go through max Q, and then ramp her back up to 100%.
02:37Max G should be in about 10 seconds.
02:53Max Q has been confirmed. Again, thank you, everybody, for joining us for New Shepard's 25th mission to space.
03:00So far in nominal flight, we have gone through max Q, and the vehicle will continue to climb under full
03:10power of the BE-3 engine.
03:14The next milestone will be main engine cutoff. You will know when that happens, when you see the glow of
03:22the engine at the base of the rocket go dim.
03:35There we go. Main engine cutoff confirmed.
03:40Passing 200,000 feet.
03:45Now, with the main engine cutoff, with the BE-3, excuse me, the BE-3 engine turned off, the vehicle
03:53continues to climb up towards its apogee,
03:56but as you will see on the left side, the speedometer will come down, and once that speedometer hits zero,
04:02that's when you know exactly that the vehicle has hit apogee, its highest altitude in the flight of the vehicle.
04:14Now, I understand that separation of the capsule from the booster has been confirmed.
04:20All right, let's do this.
04:23Look at that!
04:25All right, over first!
04:26Let's go over first!
04:28Woo!
04:30Oh, my God!
04:31Oh, my God!
04:32Oh, my God!
04:36Look at the Earth! Look at the Earth!
04:39Oh, man!
04:40Oh, my God!
04:42Oh, my God!
04:43Oh, my God!
04:46This is, like, insane!
04:48Okay, I've got a few things to do.
04:52All right!
04:52Woo-hoo-hoo!
04:53First for you!
04:54Cam appears!
04:57Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
04:59Dude, look at the Earth! Just look outside!
05:02Thank God!
05:03There's just weird space!
05:04Dude, weird space!
05:05Man is happy about the...
05:07India with pride!
05:09India with space!
05:11India with space!
05:13Woo-hoo!
05:15Hey, there!
05:27All right, you see the...
05:29Excuse me, the booster that is headed down.
05:32You see the drag fins, the drag brakes that have just deployed.
05:37Those cut the speed of the booster in half.
05:41Also, at the top of the rocket there, you see the forward fins.
05:46They kind of look like pie slices, one on each quadrant.
05:50That helps keep the vehicle stable.
05:52And there we go!
05:53BE-3 engine relight.
06:00Landing gear deployed.
06:0650 feet, 8 feet per second.
06:10Touchdown.
06:12Auto 7 started.
06:14And touchdown!
06:16Welcome home, New Shepard!
06:20What a beautiful flight to space and back for that booster.
06:26But the show is not over.
06:29The crew capsule has deployed its guide parachutes and its mains.
06:37Everything looking nominal on today's flight.
06:45Looks like we do have two parachutes that have full inflation.
06:49The third is not quite fully inflated.
06:52But actually, Jackie, this is part of the design.
06:59One of the...
07:00In fact, we were talking about my webcast.
07:02The first webcast that we did, we actually tested a shootout.
07:06There are multiple redundant factors in this system.
07:13And so landing with two parachutes is perfectly okay for this system.
07:18You'll also see the dust take out of the base of the capsule as she comes in to land.
07:25That is the air cushioning system.
07:27It's going to kick up a lot of that West Texas dust you just talked about.
07:30But also, there it is.
07:32Touchdown of the crew capsule.
07:36A beautiful flight for our rocket, for our crew capsule, for our six new astronauts, Mason, Sylvain, Ken, Carol, Gopi,
07:48and Ed.
07:48Today, you are officially astronauts.
07:52Welcome home, everybody.
07:56Welcome home, everybody.
