    >make video about science
    >use Imperial units

  2. Ken Smok

    1/276 odds of failure………. Actually nuts to think about how bad these odds are.

  3. FTFY: Reentry heating is not caused by friction and the astronauts don't control the crew dragon on reentry.

  4. Lukas Last

    In an interview he said he was not nervous when they were coming down only when they were going up.

  5. JE .M

    Cant they just use the metric?

  6. Andrew Simons

    Tell musk to stop going out of space and focus on earth a little more.

    Hate to burst your bubble but they’ve had all this figured out since the 60’s so

  8. What about using wings like airplane
    But backwards to slow down the landing. The wings can be a little bit thick but the speed will be high. It so easy

  9. Some Name

    1:40 Didn't know plasma blocked radio signals. But wouldnt they just be able to relay it up instead? Or divert the plasma into a wave form to make a signal.

  10. Fluffs

    You really need to choose if you’re gonna use metric or imperial. The first sentence of the video was in metric and the second was in imperial. 🤦‍♀️

  11. Alfons Rasmus

    1:04 It's actually not the friction causing the plasma, it's air molecules being compressed

  12. Blue

    Sorry, I don't speak Freedom ):

  13. 지연

    guys I WANT TO ASK THEM DOES IT FEEL LIKE A ROLLERCOASTER WHEN THEY GO TO SPACE AND WHEN THEY REENTRY

  14. Humberto Vargas

    whoever reads this God bless, repent and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ…before it is late, and while he is still near

  15. Kevin2382

    Bob and Doug sounds like a cartoon. It’s funny they’re not called Captain…. or something more formal.

  16. That Guy

    For more civillized country its 1926,667 celcius and 45061,632 km per hour

    2011: next space launch 9 years
    2020: next space launch next year
    2021: next space launch ???

    @Tech Insider, use the metric system please!
    3,500 F converts to approximately 2,000 C or 2,200 K.
    The greatest advantage of using the metric system is that it is based on the decimal numbers.
    •1 kilometer is equivalent to 1,000 meters (1 km = 1,000 m).
    • 1 kilogram is equivalent to 1,000 grams (1 kg = 1,000 g)
    • 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters (1 L = 1,000 mL)
    • Celsius defines the freezing point of water at 0, and boiling point of water at 100.

    If the capsule loses control, just load your quick save!

    What would happen if everyone on earth is autistic?

  21. jyty

    Wow… 77 inky pinkies/monkey donkeys, thats insane

  22. Mat's Rider

    Bounce back from orbit to deep space? NO ; from Moon yes… but here at worst it would complete a des more rotations…
