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...
01:23New Shepard has cleared the tower!
01:27And our 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%.
02:36Max-Q should be in about 10 seconds.
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.
03:31We 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, but as you will see on the left side,
03:58the speedometer will come down.
04:00And 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.
04:20Alright, let's do this.
04:23Look at that!
04:25Over first!
04:26Over first!
04:28Woo!
04:30Oh my God!
04:32Oh my God!
04:34Look at the Earth!
04:38Look at the Earth!
04:40Oh man!
04:41Oh my God!
04:44Oh my God!
04:44Oh my God!
04:46Look at this!
04:47This is like insane!
04:48Okay, I got it.
04:49I got a few things to do.
04:52Alright!
04:52Woo-hoo-hoo!
04:53Here's for you!
04:54Cam appears!
04:57Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
04:59Dude, look at the Earth!
05:01Just look outside!
05:02Oh my God!
05:03Look at the Earth!
05:03Where's the face?
05:04Dude!
05:05Where's the face?
05:05Man is happy, buddy!
05:07India with pride!
05:09India with pride!
05:10India with space!
05:11India with space!
05:12India with space!
05:12Woo-hoo!
05:15Hey there!
05:16Hey there!
05:16Hey there!
05:17Hey there!
05:18Hey there!
05:28All right, you see the, excuse me, the booster that is headed down.
05:33You 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 in one on each quadrant.
05:50That helps keep the vehicle stable.
05:52And there we go!
05:53BE-3 engine relight!
06:01Landing gear deployed!
06:0650 feet!
06:0750 feet!
06:078 feet!
06:08Press 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.
07:37A beautiful flight for our rocket, for our crew capsule, for our six new astronauts,
07:44Mason, Sylvain, Ken, Carol, Gopi, and Ed, you are officially astronauts.
07:52Welcome home, everybody.
