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...
01:10Zero...
01:13Two...
01:15Two...
01:15Two...
01:22New Shepard has cleared the tower...
01:27The rocket and our astronauts are heading up to space.
01:33Now you can follow along on the bottom left of your screen, the altimeter on the left,
01:39excuse me, the altimeter 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.
02:08The first one will be max Q.
02:11That's when the dynamic pressures are the highest on the vehicle.
02:15We go from 100% power, pull it back a little bit as we go through max Q,
02:20and then ramp her back up to 100%.
02:37Max G should be in about 10 seconds.
02:40Wow.
02:53Max Q has been confirmed.
02:55Again, thank you, everybody, for joining us for New Shepard's 25th mission to space.
03:00So far, a nominal flight.
03:02We have gone through max Q.
03:04100,000 feet.
03:06And the vehicle will continue to climb under full power of the BE-3 engine.
03:14The next milestone will be main engine cutoff.
03:19You will know when that happens, when you see the glow of the engine at the base of the rocket
03:23go dim.
03:32There we go.
03:35There we go.
03:36Main engine cutoff confirmed.
03:40Passing 200,000 feet.
03:45Now, with the main engine cutoff, with the BE-3 engine turned off,
03:52the vehicle continues to climb up towards its apogee.
03:56But as you will see on the left side, the speedometer will come down.
03:59And once that speedometer hits zero, that's when you know exactly that the vehicle has hit apogee,
04:07its 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.
04:24All right, all over first.
04:26All over first.
04:30Oh, my God.
04:32Oh, my God.
04:34Wow.
04:36Look at the Earth.
04:37Look at the Earth.
04:39Oh, man.
04:41Oh, my God.
04:46This is, like, insane.
04:48Okay, I got a few things to do.
04:51All right.
04:53First for you.
04:54Camera appears.
04:59Dude, look at the Earth! Just look outside!
05:02Thank God!
05:03Dude, where's space?
05:04Dude, where's space?
05:05Man is happy, buddy.
05:08India with pride.
05:09India with space.
05:11India with space!
05:12Woohoo!
05:15Hey there!
05:28All right, you see 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, BE-3 engine relight.
06:00Landing gear deployed.
06:0650 feet, 8 feet, press 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, in fact, we were talking about my webcast.
07:02The first webcast that we did, we actually, we 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, touchdown 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.
07:49You are officially astronauts.
07:52Welcome home, everybody.
07:56Welcome home, everybody.
