00:00T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, ignition, and liftoff.
00:13Go Falcon Heavy and go Roman Space Telescope.
00:16And liftoff of NASA's Roman Space Telescope on a mission to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
00:25All M1D chamber pressures are nominal.
00:27Falcon Heavy has cleared the tower and is on its way to the space.
00:37Falcon Heavy is soaring.
00:39Tower, that's 11, phenomenal.
00:42Falcon Heavy is soaring into the Florida sky.
00:45We are 53 seconds into this flight.
00:47Rocket will be heading into max Q.
00:50Falcon 9 is supersonic.
00:53Picking up speed and altitude very quickly.
00:58Engines will throttle down slightly to reduce the mechanical pressure.
01:03Series of events happening back-to-back.
01:06We'll be starting with BECO, or booster engine cutoff, where the engines on those boosters will power down.
01:12We'll then have side course separation of those two boosters.
01:18Side booster separation confirmed.
01:24And there we saw stage separation, and you can actually see the view from the main core on the left,
01:29and then the two side cores on the right-hand side of your screen.
01:33Falcon Heavy side boosters are performing their boost-back burns,
01:35which is the first of three burns each side booster will undergo on the way back to Cape Canaveral Space
01:41Force Station.
01:42Pico.
01:43Stage separation confirmed.
01:48And great shot there as the first, as the main core and second stage separate from one another,
01:56and we just heard that call out for second engine startup,
01:59and you can see the MVAC engine there on your screen.
02:03That's for sure.
02:07Yeah, Steve, so we just had-
02:10And you can actually follow the vehicle telemetry-
02:13Of those side boosters via the telemetry on your screen there.
02:19And YFTS is saved.
02:33Stage two is in terminal guidance.
02:36PY landing leg deploy.
02:41And Y landing leg deploy.
02:43PY landing confirm.
03:00Of one of those side core boosters there on your screen,
03:03we did, of course, have confirmation of successful landings of both of those side core boosters,
03:09and certainly most people in the vicinity heard those sonic booms.
03:12It's a good part.
03:12It's just going to bring new performance.
03:13It's the 5 of these.
03:13So that's a good part.
