The SpaceX launch showcased the immense power of 33 engines firing simultaneously, creating a significant crater that highlights the engineering prowess behind the mission. Witnessing the launch in person emphasizes the scale of the event, which is difficult to comprehend from afar. Although five engines did not ignite as planned, the successful operation of the majority reflects the dedication of the SpaceX team. This incident serves as a reminder of the potential for error in advanced technology. Overall, the event underscores SpaceX's commitment to pushing the boundaries of aerospace innovation.

Now I have a better appreciation for the massive crater created by the #superheavy SpaceX waiting for all 33 engines to fire for which 5 motors did not all fire after 5 seconds.

The SpaceX launch and aftermath was truly a remarkable event to witness. The sheer power and force of the 33 engines firing simultaneously is something that is hard to comprehend until you see it in person. And even then, it's hard to fully grasp the magnitude of it all.

But what struck me the most was the aftermath, specifically the massive crater created by the #superheavy SpaceX. It's hard to believe that such a small object, in comparison to the vastness of space, could create such a large impact on the ground. It truly puts into perspective the incredible technology and engineering behind the SpaceX launch.

And while it is unfortunate that not all 33 engines fired as expected, it's a reminder that even with all of our advancements, there is still room for error. But the fact that the majority of the engines did fire successfully is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the SpaceX team. I have no doubt that they will continue to push the boundaries and make even greater achievements in the future.
 
Thread 'Why higher speeds need more power if backward force is the same?'
Power = Force v Speed Power of my horse = 104kgx9.81m/s^2 x 0.732m/s = 1HP =746W Force/tension in rope stay the same if horse run at 0.73m/s or at 15m/s, so why then horse need to be more powerfull to pull at higher speed even if backward force at him(rope tension) stay the same? I understand that if I increase weight, it is hrader for horse to pull at higher speed because now is backward force increased, but don't understand why is harder to pull at higher speed if weight(backward force)...
