    Main stream "media" has destroyed this AMAZING event! They have NOTHING good to say about this HISTORIC EVENT! Everyone I've talked to, and I'm in the Rocket Propulsion business, says this was an EPIC GAME CHANGING ATTEMPT!!!! 13 MILLION pounds of thrust, with 7 engines out, likely caused by pad disintegration!!! It drastically affected the gimbal ability to steer the stack, thus ending in Controlled destruction. The decision to not release Starship in an uncontrolled attitude, from the first stage, was the correct one! If anyone is interested... The 33 engines were started in 3 separate stages 2 seconds apart. That is why it took 6 seconds for the stack to release and move vertically from the launch stand. The two launch ring cameras would have shown that, but the were almost instantly destroyed lol. Stunning SPACEX!!! GREAT vid my friend, and Y'all, wait for the next launch.... Just Sayin!!! 😊❤

      @@Sundablakr Untrue given that most of the obvious problems experienced were easily foreseeable and in fact have been known about and solved for generations now. It's analogous to SpaceX trying to replace a circular wheel with a hexagon because it's cheaper and easier to build, and when it doesn't work they and their fans laud it as a success because they learned so much about how not to design a wheel, even though everyone already knew those things for generations. The reason that deluge systems and flame diverters are so widely used is because people already learned 60 years ago that not having those things causes serious problems.

    • @harbingerdawn
      @harbingerdawn Рік тому

      I was impressed with how long it stayed together too at first, but then noticed just how slow it was traveling (thanks to all the lost engines), so the dynamic pressure at that speed and altitude was not very high. Once it came back into thicker air the structure failed as expected.
