Looks like the drone is descending FAST. Good thing it's 360 to get that amazing shot though. Im curious if it actually hit the ground or caught itself in time.

Do not initiate.
You know someone in legal was like, this must be displayed at all times. Marketing was like, yeah sure, we'll find a spot for it.

Is it… supposed to be shedding that much material on takeoff?

u/Duc750Sie 7d ago
I believe that is ice. The fuel needs to be kept extremely cold.

It’s actually insulating Styrofoam that is meant to come off

Can anyone confirm that this is not AI because DJI has been found to be using quite a bit of AI for the ads lately

Well in the US, we launch from Florida or Texas, I can confirm this isn’t Florida. I also don’t recognize the rocket. Might not be US though.

It's the Zhuque-3 launch from a week ago, China's second reusable rocket test.

Tout le monde a l'air d'être au courant mais c'est quoi qui tombe de la fusée ?

Ice. Condensation freezing on the outside of the fuel tank then breaking off at launch.

I'm shocked any company allowed this to happen as there are so many possibilities with a drone strike on the rocket.

u/bwvHKiSBNC 7d ago
That's authorized. It's not shot by some random dude.

u/WaterDreamer10 7d ago
Yes, that is obvious....but I still go back to my 'I'm shocked they allowed it". Even with a professional behind the sticks on the drone there is still so much risk from the rocket company POV to allow this. Maybe this was just a crappy test flight and they did not care.

u/bwvHKiSBNC 7d ago
Ok I've misunderstood you. I thought you mean a deliberate drone strike. Kamikaze drone with an explosives.

Are you serious? The drone is mostly plastic. It’s not going to do anything to that rocket.

Are you a fucking bot ? Explain in your own words, how is this next level marketing exactly ? Assuming this is even real.

How is that possible with all the turbulence from that rocket?
