(victorious cheering)
- Welcome to Orlando, Florida,
today is the day of the Falcon Heavy launch.
Tesla behind me, this is not mine.
I just saw it in the parking lot.
I came here a couple of years ago
with Zach from JerryRigEverything
and Davey from April and Davey.
We tried to see the first Space X launch from 39A,
launch pad 39A and it was a complete failure.
The only way to describe the
social media corral is complete sadness.
NASA was not fun to work with.
- [NASA Escort] I'm going to make sure he doesn't
come back again. - Go around?
- [NASA Escort] Just don't want to follow the rules.
- [Camera Man] I didn't know there was assigned seating,
I mean, there was no--
- [Escort] No, no, no, no, no, no.
- It wasn't a good experience.
Today, I've been lucky enough to be invited
to the secret level three of Tesla's referral program
because you guys are so awesome to buy
so many Teslas off of our code.
I'm gonna show you guys what it's like
to go to a Tesla launch reward event
to see the launch of Falcon Heavy Space X.
It should be pretty cool.
I'm excited, there's a lot of people here,
people from all over the world
that are the top referrers of Teslas.
We are going to a building that is off site,
so not right at the NASA facility,
it's in Cape Canaveral, though.
We're gonna be up off the ground at seventh level,
so we should be able to get
a shot for you guys on camera.
that shows the rockets landing.
So, ah man, I hope I can see it.
If it has to wait until tomorrow,
it's gonna be a little bit of a downer,
but I can't wait.
The party is getting real right now.
Check this out, we've got Kim here.
We've got Liam and Landon are here.
The king of all things Tesla, Enwon.
It's time, we're heading out to the shuttle buses.
It's go time.
(lively music)
(people talking over one another)
Ah, snacks, Space X has snacks.
I'll take one of those, look at all these.
Cheetos, okay.
Yes, snacks on the bus.
This is already better than NASA right now.
I haven't done this yet, but this is my brother Brian.
He's from Arizona,
if you've watched our video where we couldn't open oysters,
This is my brother Brian!
(dramatic music)
(screaming)
- I'm excited.
- I have shucked exactly one oyster in my entire life.
- Let's not get too close to the bathroom, it's stinky.
Okay, (talking over one another)
Look at Kim, loading up on the snacks.
- It's for the kids, it's for the kids!
(talking over one another)
(victorious cheering)
(bright music)
- I love this.
All right, we made it to exploration tower
in Cape Canaveral.
This is it, thank you for the ride.
And, uh, this is cool, there's a big ol' tower right here
and apparently, this is gonna be the place.
It's going to be launching, if it launches today
at eight PM.
So, we have about three and a half hours until go time,
but that was a fun ride.
They played, like, star man music and all kinds of stuff.
We were cheering and having fun.
So, this is it.
This building, this funky little building right there
is where we will watch it.
They have a lot of security, a lot of police officers,
and they even have three Teslas all lined up.
We have about three hours until the window,
it's from about 8:00 'til, like 8:36,
I think is the window, so we just gotta wait here.
- We got some inside info.
- Wait, wait, okay, what is it?
- It's inside information, this is just between us.
- 'Kay
- The rocket's actually about 10 miles away.
We're gonna see it.
- That's kinda far.
- It's far, but it's gonna be an awesome, epic shot,
but the money shot,
the two boosters are gonna be landing right behind those.
And, we're gonna be on the balcony.
Less than half a mile away from the boosters.
- We're as close as you can get, so, I like this.
One of my questions about this event is who's here?
Like, what type of people get invited to this thing?
It's really cool to talk to people and find out their
stories about, like, how they got so many referrals.
There's a lot of people here
that have this in their Tesla account.
Check this out, not one,
but two free rosters in his account.
How many referrals did you have? This is my buddy John.
- About 115.
- 115?
You're not a Youtuber?
- No.
- He's a doctor, he travels all around the US
and works in trauma.
How did you get 115 referrals?
What is the doctor's perspective when you work in trauma
and you see people come in from all the car crashes?
Does that influence your decision to have a Tesla?
Okay, so, if you're on the fence about getting a Tesla,
and you're like "I don't know if it's worth the extra money"
if you have the money for it,
I think that's a pretty good argument
and a good case for why you should get a Tesla,
because he's a trauma doctor
that travels around to every single state in the US,
sees accidents all the time.
If it's good enough for the trauma doctor
and it makes sense for him,
I think it would be good enough for everybody.
Anyways, thanks Elon, for making safe cars.
It's officially been scrubbed.
That stinks, I've been to two Space X Rocket launches
and they've both been scrubbed.
So, hopefully tomorrow's the day,
because I need to get home,
tomorrow's the last day I can stay here,
but we're gonna check out the seventh floor regardless.
Here it is, this is where we
would have been watching it today.
Which, wow, okay, live stream would be right there.
Oh, that's pretty.
Ah, the sun's about to set, look at that.
So, the rocket would take off,
there's a giant space center right there,
that's the tallest one story building in the world.
I'm zooming in, there it is.
There's Falcon Heavy,
and then the landing place is right over here.
Two rocket boosters are going to land,
which is pretty darn cool, then we'll be able to see them.
Hopefully tomorrow it happens,
because this is a killer view.
The word is out,
look at all the people that are now leaving.
Riding into the sunset.
(dramatic music)
We're not going home empty handed.
We're getting goodie bags and taking the shuttle back.
We'll be back tomorrow, I'm not missing it.
Yes, and a hat, whoo!
Thank you, Tesla.
Kind of a bummer that we missed it,
but hey, this is what happens at rocket launches.
They gotta be safe, there's a big ol' satellite on there,
there's a lot of money on the line
and there's a lot of safety on the line.
This is what it's like, this is my second rocket launch.
Welcome to day two
of The Rocket Adventure: The Falcon Heavy.
I haven't even really explained it yet,
but this is my brother, Brian.
He made some videos before with us,
but he lives in Arizona.
Really, really smart when it comes to science.
He can appreciate what is about to happen today.
We have about an hour and a half
until the beginning of the window starts.
Hey guys!
Oh, we're going to.
We're gonna go see if we can take the helicopter first.
Look what I found across the street.
Here's our pilot.
So, apparently, this is your first day on the job?
(record scratch)
- It's 1.5.
(both laughing)
- 1.5 day on the job.
Um, yeah, we're still doing this.
(bright music)
For real, real talk for a second here,
it really is his first day on the job
and this thing was only $20 a person.
I was prepared to pay, I just told Brian,
right when we walked in,
if it's anything less than $500, I'm in.
It turns out that for $20, you can get
a four to six minute ride
along Cape Canaveral, along the port.
Perfect.
We are currently taking the doors off.
We're in Florida.
It's much better to be flying with the doors off.
(inspirational instrumental)
It's happening, we're going up.
(banjo tunes)
- That's 888-For-Ride.
F-O-R-R-I-D-E.
Coco Beach Helicopters in Port Canaveral, Florida.
He made a mistake, he left me with his camera running.
I wonder if we're live streaming.
Here's our sign, 888-For-Ride.
Open seven days a week, 365 days a year.
(inspirational music swells)
- This is amazing, this is amazing.
We did it, we survived!
Here we go, we're out.
Why am I ducking?
I probably don't need to duck right now,
but I'm ducking.
That was amazing.
What a shot.
When we got over the water and he just turned,
it was like we were just gonna get dumped out,
right over the ocean, that was great.
We are five and a half minutes away
from the rocket actually taking off, finally.
Check out how many people are here,
we're all here on the seventh floor
of this exploration building that you saw earlier,
that we flew around.
I wanna just enjoy this,
so you're gonna see my reaction here.
I do have a camera set up right there.
That will get, hopefully,
the boosters as the two boosters land.
That's really the exciting part.
You're gonna get our reaction, that's what this is gonna be.
I can't believe this is finally happening.
This is my third time coming to Florida to this area
to watch a rocket and I've failed every time.
So, I feel lucky.
Today's the day.
(person on radio mumbling)
Yes!
Here we go.
- Here we go! - Come on rocket,
come on, rocket.
(people shouting)
Oh, look at the fire.
- [Bystander] There it goes
- Oh my gosh, that is really bright,
that is, like, the sun bright.
(excited cheering)
It is so bright,
seriously, that is crazy bright.
(crowd cheering)
- Look at her go! - Oh my gosh.
Initial thoughts, Brian?
- That was awesome.
I don't even know what else to say.
- It's seven minutes from when the rocket takes off
to when the boosters come down and land,
but with how fast the rocket seemed to get up there,
it seems kind of surprising.
This thing's falling from space
and it does take this long to get down.
That just tells you how high it went.
- [Bystander] There they are.
- Whoa!
There they are! - Look at 'em go!
- See them? - Got 'em, got 'em.
- [Child] See them, Mitch?
- Straight ahead. - Right there.
- 20 degrees. - See them right there?
- [Child] Yeah, I see them.
- See them falling out of the sky?
- No. - They are falling.
- Straight, you're too far right, Mitchell, left.
Left, go left, right there, right there.
- Oh, here they go! - See them falling?
- Here they go!
(talking over one another)
(all cheering)
(talking over one another)
Look at that!
(talking over one another)
- [Announcer] My lane going--
(cheering)
(mumbles) boosters have landed--
(cheering)
Yes!
- Oh my god! - Wow!
(talking over one another) Wow!
- Incredible, once in a lifetime.
The sonic boom scared me.
- [Camera Man] Were you happy that
you stayed here for an entire week?
- You know, Florida's growing on me.
(laughing)
- [Camera Man] Jack, did you like that?
- It's so unreal. - Yeah.
- Good. - He said again.
- Again. - Again!
- It was unbelievable, unbelievable.
I'm so glad I'm here.
- Amazing, never seen anything like it.
- [Camera Man] Tee shirt?
Thank you. - Yeah!
So, if the launch would not have successful today,
they wouldn't have handed these out.
That was the only situation they could give us
these shirts and this patch.
Tesla didn't pay for me to come out here,
they did give us this experience here,
because of all the referrals that you guys
were able to help us get.
Thank you guys for using our code
and actually buying Teslass,
but then also thanks to Tesla and Space Techs
for letting us come out here and see this.
It was a once in a life time thing.
If you ever have the chance to see a rocket launch.
His first day on the job in this thing.
- 888-For-Ride.
F-O-R-R-I-D-E.
(slowed down voice)
- Perfect.
