Attention all flight crew members. This is the final go/no-go poll for operations.

Raptor one. Raptor one, let's go. Raptor two, go. Stage one, go. Stage two, go. Flight director is go for launch. We have lift-off!

[Music] Vehicles pitching.

[Music] Downrange. Max CU ship engine startup. Separation booster boost-back burn on.

Oban, 30 seconds. He catch decisions, confirming 30 seconds to make that decision. 10 seconds to catch decision. Hot stage separation confirmed. Flight director is go for booster return. Operator go, vote is set. True, we are go for catch. Booster coming in hot for booster.

[Applause] Catch booster. FTS is [Music] saved. And I ignite 13 of those Raptor engines, and this view is incredible right now. I can't wait for us to hear the sonic boom.

Landing burn start-up. We can see those Chopsticks now. This is absolutely insane! On the first ever attempt, we have successfully caught the super heavy booster. Gilla has caught the booster.

Chip Ian power CL, ninal Starship. House, enter the atmosphere. Starship is approaching the peak heating phase of Entry. Landing burn start-up is on. Target star ship is landed.

Today some students visited me to learn about what it takes to sell private jets. But I was left pleasantly surprised with what they actually ended up teaching me. I paused my workday and greeted them in the fuselage. We sat down and let me tell you, they…

Interpreting a quadratic in factored form

We are told a rocket is launched from a platform. Its height in meters, x seconds after the launch, is modeled by h of x is equal to negative 4 times x plus 2 times x minus 18. Now the first thing they ask us is, what is the height of the rocket at the t…

Example of derivative as limit of average rate of change

Stacy wants to find the derivative of f of x = x² + 1 at the point x = 2. Her table below shows the average rate of change of f over the intervals from x to 2 or from 2 to x, and these are closed intervals for x values. They get increasingly closer to two…

Motion along a curve: finding velocity magnitude | AP Calculus BC | Khan Academy

A particle moves along the curve (xy = 16) so that the y-coordinate is increasing. We underline this: the y-coordinate is increasing at a constant rate of two units per minute. That means that the rate of change of y with respect to t is equal to two. Wh…
