00:01Just the magnitude. Wow you're staring down at the earth. Holy cow. This is cool. We're in space. We're above
00:12the line.
00:18Look at that. Look at that amazing view. Wow.
00:21Wow. Holy cow. Six, five, four. Command engine start. Two, one.
00:57All right. New Shepard has cleared the tower. If you look on the bottom right hand side of your screen,
01:04you'll be able to follow along for the timing as NS-36 heads towards the corner line.
01:09Engine chamber pressure looks good.
01:1610,000 feet and climbing.
01:25Beginning throttle down for Q limiting.
01:28A little bit of a cloudier day out in West Texas today, but you can still see New Shepard.
01:32Engine response looks good.
01:43Max Q. Maximum dynamic pressure.
01:47On your screen there you can see the telemetry on the left hand side bar.
01:52Mach 1 vehicle is supersonic.
01:53You can follow the flight trajectory today. At the bottom you can watch the speed and the altitude climb.
01:59Engine back up to full throttle.
02:05That BE-3 all the way at full throttle.
02:09Chamber pressure looking good.
02:19Passing 70,000 feet and climbing.
02:35Now as you see on your screen, if it does go black and white we're using infrared imaging to see
02:40through the clouds, but right there that is a shot from the booster looking back down on West Texas.
02:44Max ascent G's.
02:49Beginning throttle down, standby Miko.
02:53Standby Miko.
02:55Standby Miko.
02:56We hear some happy astronauts.
03:03Miko confirmed.
03:05And Miko is confirmed.
03:07That is main engine cutoff.
03:09Standby Miko.
03:10Standby Miko.
03:11Standby Miko.
03:12Standby Miko.
03:16Separation.
03:20Separation confirmed.
03:23There you have it.
03:24Separation is confirmed.
03:25Our astronauts are experiencing zero G's.
03:28As you can see now we have two bars for tracking our two vehicles.
03:33We've got the booster on the left and the capsule on the right as they both continue their ascent to
03:38their apogee.
03:40Astronauts are experiencing zero G and doing all sorts of fun stuff up there taking photos looking out the window.
03:47Great long range camera shot there.
03:49Both the capsule and the booster.
03:51We found a break in the clouds.
03:53Three minutes, 15 seconds into flight.
03:58Man, they are having a good time up there.
04:00Up there aren't they?
04:01Yeah.
04:04Just the magnitude.
04:06Wow, you're staring down at the earth.
04:11Holy cow.
04:13This is cold.
04:14We're in space.
04:14We're above the line.
04:16Look at that.
04:21Look at that amazing view.
04:23You see the moon out there?
04:23Wow.
04:24We're flying.
04:26Wow.
04:28You see the moon out there?
04:30Look for the moon guys.
04:31The moon is incredible.
04:33Out my window.
04:41There you hear the sonic boom.
04:43You see the engine relight.
04:44Engine restart control.
04:48Beautiful shot.
04:50Landing legs deployed.
04:55Booster.
04:56Booster.
05:01Booster.
05:02Booster.
05:03And we have booster touchdown.
05:06Great shot.
05:07Welcome home New Shepard booster.
05:09Starting booster autosafing.
05:13Always a sight to see.
05:14Never gets old.
05:15Always an incredible moment here.
05:18We're landing that booster perfectly on our landing pad.
05:22Getting ready to autosafe it.
05:24And shortly take it back to the barn.
05:27For our viewers who might be new here, what does autosafing mean?
05:30Oh, it just means that we're making sure that the vehicle is ready for people to get close to it
05:37and make sure that it's ready to go back to the barn and complete its maintenance before the next flight.
05:42That's true.
05:43We do have a tradition here where we like to take a picture with the booster.
05:46The team does after our flight.
05:49We have reacquired a picture of the capsule.
05:52There it is.
05:53Going through some clouds.
05:54Yeah.
05:54That's got to make for a fun experience for astronauts.
05:56Capsule drogue deployment confirmed.
05:58Drogues confirmed.
06:00Drogues confirmed.
06:01The drogues pull out the main parachutes.
06:17Capsule main parachute deployment confirmed.
06:20And there you have it.
06:21Beautiful parachutes.
06:22Three.
06:23Reefing.
06:23Looking beautiful against a cloudy west Texas guy.
06:27Capsule landing zone is within expected range limits.
06:31I love those drone shots.
06:35Now, while the parachutes are essential in providing a gentle touchdown, it is also, we also have a retro thrust
06:41system on the base of the capsule, which will make the final touchdown even smoother.
06:46You'll expect to see a little proof of dust as we land.
06:50That is all very, very normal.
06:52That's right.
06:52It slows the capsule to about one mile per hour just before it lands in the west Texas desert.
07:02Just about to reach a thousand feet.
07:05Look how green that west Texas desert is.
07:08It must have been raining there recently.
07:09I was just about to say.
07:11Nine and a half minutes into flight.
07:27Wow.
07:29That looks like a new cover photo to me.
07:32Beautiful.
07:34So pretty.
07:35What a day to fly, too.
07:42Getting a little audio from our astronauts.
07:44Stand by.
07:45Touchdown.
07:46Approaching retro thrust.
07:46Stand by.
07:47Touchdown.
07:51There we go.
07:57Capsule touchdown.
07:58And we have touchdown.
08:01Welcome back, Space Nomads.
08:03Auto safety start.
08:04Welcome home.
08:04NS 36.
08:06Always incredible to see.
08:08Great easy touchdown for our new Shepard crew capsule.
08:11Now our capsule recovery team is currently en route to meet the astronauts in the capsule.
08:18They're going to save the capsule and get ready to open that hatch.
08:22They're going to save the capsule and get ready to open that hatch.
08:27We'll be right back to you too.
08:27It's a little bit.
08:27You could be a little bit.
