Insane footage shows what it looks like to fly from Earth to space

The footage was likely taken around (35,700 kilometres) away from Earth.

If you're not one of the lucky (or extremely wealthy) individuals that get to experience a dining experience in space or plan to leave the Earth's atmosphere in their lifetime, this one's for you.

SpaceX continues to share amazing footage of its regular space missions, all aimed at advancing humanity's journey to Mars.

Timelapse footage from one of its Falcon 9 rocket missions, known as SpaceX Transporter 6, has been released for public view.

The spacecraft blasted off from Cape Canveral Space Force Station in Florida on January 3, 2022 up to space.

The upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket captured footage from on March 17, 2024 where our planet can be seen from outer space.

Commenting on the mission, the space company announced: 'On Thursday, January 13 at 10:25 a.m. EST, Falcon 9 launched Transporter-3, SpaceX’s third dedicated SmallSat Rideshare Program mission, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

'This was the tenth launch and landing of this Falcon 9 stage booster, which previously supported launch of Crew Demo-2, ANASIS-II, CRS-21, Transporter-1, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, SpaceX landed Falcon 9’s first stage on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.'

During the launch, Falcon 9 carried two telecommunications satellites for the Luxembourg-based company SES to geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO).

So the footage likely shows Earth from an altitude of approximately 22,200 miles (35,700 kilometres).

'On board this launch were 105 commercial and government spacecraft (including CubeSats, microsats, PocketQubes, and orbital transfer vehicles),' SpaceX added.

Viewers on both X and YouTube platforms were stunned at the beautiful footage captured of our planet.

One replied: 'Oh man, that’s so cool. Time lapse at its best. Space travel in a box.'

Whilst another YouTuber bleakly commented: 'This picture shows this fact: the earth is nothing except a sphere that swims in a sea of darkness and emptiness.'

Yet, another user wrote: 'Quite possibly the greatest technical achievement of mankind.... completely automated!'

Elon Musk's founded company has shared its plans to conduct at least six more test flights of its Starship spacecraft this year alone.

The next test is scheduled for May, pending regulatory approval following the investigation of IFT-3.
