The evolution of SpaceX's Starship (with explosions!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 тра 2024
- Elon Musk's rocket company first began developing working prototypes of the Starship rocket in early 2019 at Boca Chica, Texas. The goal is to build a fully functional reusable rocket that can one day journey to the Moon and Mars. Check out our supercut of the many iterations of Starship up to the latest successful launch and landing of SN15.

To anyone watching this in 2050. Yess, this is where it all began. We lived in the Elon Musk era.
I like that, Elon era
hello future kidssssss HELLOooOoOOOOOOOOOooo
Keep being good, it's worth it
Hello Future we watched this live 💪

The cult is real
Hard to believe they went from the flying silo of SN5 in August to only 9 months later landing SN15.
I really can't get my head around that. It's breathtaking.
progress
Goes to show how how well a software development approach can reduce development time! Go Agile Development :D
When your sole purpose isnt to fill pork barrels for various states, its amazing what you can get done.
@@MichaelNNY It's also people clinging to the idea that blowing up rockets is more of a waste and more expensive than simulations. It's not. It's cheaper, faster and more informative to blow them up.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Hi jesus! This got on my timeline just now too!
Ayyy we got Jesus's approval!!!
If that's true, then we really are fooked
Thanks Jesus.
@@OccupyMarsJune no, don’t hide that bong! Change that water, pack that bowl with some fresh bud, and pass it here!
Amazing how fast they developed the starship.
Totally,it went from scifi movie to reality crazy fast
Imagine the next 10 years...actualy, I can't, too many great accomplishments, can't even believe it.
Whilst everyone was doubting them.
Fast? We are waiting so many days between testflights. I cant count the days on two hands anymore
@@Robin-Visser Are you serious?
Starship proved to be capable of landing. The next milestone is to land the Super Heavy. There will be many more failures and explosions, but SpaceX has consistently achieved its goal. And it is inspiring.
I think Starship needs to prove itself at least a dozen times in a row before we can trust it to safely carry people to Mars. And even after that we better be damn sure we have a solid plan for landing it on Mars, which will be very different than landing it on Earth.
@@muddro420 We will send equipment to Mars prior to sending humans. In all honesty, the landing platform needs to be self-leveling and give cushion with the support of air pistons so that we can aid other craft that may potentially visit.
@@muddro420 Falcon is a proven system that had its own early failures . There is zero doubt that eventually Space X will be able to do anything it wants to
@@BradiKal61 For people who proclaim to be sciency and futuristic, you guys sure lack scientific reasoning. Absolutely? No doubt? Will achieve ANYTHING it wants to? Lmao.
@@caveman4659 what does sciency and futuristic mean ? They're just talking facts. And yes it is possible with enough time. Don't be so pessimistic
I can't wait for that day when I can hear the just the sound of the wind rushing by as the vehicle slows in it's descent before hearing those Raptors relight with the landing flip. I just can't wait for that day... I'm ready.
They might just try land starship using towers now. No landing flip
@@messyties no, the current model still includes the flip and a vertical landing, it just uses a tower to absorb the landing shock. The horizontal catch you've seen illustrated was only "in an ideal world", basically him just thinking out loud on Twitter one day.
Thank you for making this and not just spreading more FUD about this test program.
FUD?
@@Juno101 Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
@@sonicpokemaster1 Ah Thx
@peter I’m guessing you are talking about SN10 and SN11
@@moltenlavaguy9334 SN10 landed, but caught fire and blew up. SN11 landed piece by piece...
Wow, it is amazing to see that almost 3years after SN15 we are getting ready for the third full stack flight of starship
you just missed spacex's supercut of SN15 : p
I have been following their progress from the beginning with so much awe. It was incredible to watch SN15 touch down with a soft landing in real time. I am seriously thinking about switching fields and applying for a job at Boca Chica. To be a part of history would be amazing. To be a part of SpaceX would be even more so.
same
I'm in IT and at this point I wouldn't even mind being a janitor at Starbase or even GigaTexas. So many talented minds working for SpaceX and Tesla. I'd love to have conversations with so many folks and share the same passions as I do with them. It's probably some high stress level work but in the end, we measure who we are as humans to what we accomplish in our lives and the other lives around us that we affect and inspire. I can't think of 2 organizations that inspire more than them right now.
@@michaeljmobley Exactly. I currently work in a building/tech field for a global manufacturer. While I love my job, I would love to be a part of human history, and this is the grass roots of how it happens.
@@michaeljmobley Granted, I already work for a company that has created and innovated machines for construction and agriculture. I would love nothing more than to be a small part of a company whose vision is farther than just here.
so Musk decided to go to Mars with his own rocket ?? Question, how he will make rocket that goes in light speed ??
this shows how quickly humans learn from mistakes to improve and meet the goal
Except if your Blue Origin, Boeing, ULA, etc
@@cameronh3260 i mean they dont wantt to make mistakkes they want it just perfect and for that to be even remotely possible they take ages lol
@@alexbenzler5327 "They want to perfect it" but they can't even properly set the clock on the statliner making it miss the ISS and like 90 other software issues that NASA found and that delayed them for almost 2 years
@@cameronh3260 yeh, didn't say it's the best approach haha
While watching Starhopper's flight it is crazy how much has changed to the launch area since then!
Starhopper to a full stacked starship is insane
For anyone watching this in the future, yes this was the beginning of everything.
Can't imagine how soul destroying it must have been for the spaceX crew to watch each attempt crash and burn. Then to pick themselves up and to come as far as they have with the programme is a testament to their grit and determination to get the job done. You have and you are making history people, and I'm just glad to be here to see it happen in my lifetime, thank you.
What I can't imagine is the partying they did after a successful landing:-)
They actually would prefer them to explode.
@@JerseyMcgee81 was about to say the data they collected I'm sure was super helpful. Also I'm sure they expected explosions lol
They definetly expected explosions, thats a part of the development process
The way it flips over vertical and then slowly lands with those rockets is like something I've only seen in a sci-fi movie.
Which science fiction movie are you talking about ?
That’s so amazing engineering ! Bravo to all SpaceX teams !
This piece was really well done! The background music selection / composition is on point! So much progress in a mere two years for SpaceX. Especially when also considering the incredible amount of build site, production factory infrastructure they've added and all the orbital launch pad construction. Just wonder were they'll be at in two more years!
My bet is SpaceX will have the beginnings of a "spaceport" on the Moon or in orbit around the Sun within five years. This will entice individuals to invest in space business while SpaceX works on the challenge of creating a permanent colony on Mars.
what is the name of the soundtrack?
The music reminds me eve online music.
@@Coyote27981 Mass Effect Too
@@crealidad Also it sounds like WARNO soundtrack.
Music is on point.
Yeah it honestly reminds me of the Interstellar music
Im still disappointed that some people still think it's all cgi
They see cgi reference materials and think it's trying to trick them
@@quantumblauthor7300 they should just go there and see it in person
@@derrypurnamasari3921 that would require their feet to touch grass
It's amazing seeing how gentle those rockets are jumping from launch pad to landing pad.
SpaceX did more within a year than nasa could’ve done in a decade. Amazing
NASA went from absolutely nothing, to landing humans on the moon 14 years later...with archaic technology of more than half a century ago.
SpaceX has access to modern technology, materials, computers, experienced staff, etc and didn't have to start from scratch since NASA and others already paved the way. It's been 18 years for SpaceX and they still haven't landed humans on the moon...dispite all those monumental advantages.
@@tylerdurden3722 NASA had one goal at that time: beat the USSR for the sake of coldwar one-upmanship. Putting people back on the moon isn't SpaceX's primary goal - it's a side project on the path to Mars. Comparing the two is pointless.
@@eseholmes4592 Going to the moon involved other milestones as well. They didn't just go to the moon without doing other stuff first. Like putting stuff and people into orbit, etc.
SpaceX plans to use virtually the same system they're using to go to the moon, to go to Mars. If SpaceX could go to Mars, they could easily go to the moon. But they lack the capability for both.
Plus, it took NASA only 16 years to send something to Mars. They also sent the first Voyager towards the outer solar system. And much much more. NASA works on a crap ton of stuff. All you have to do is look at the types of patents NASA holds. Weirds tuff like patents on car engines, solar, batteries, etc.😅
NASA had to pioneer all the extra crap that seem normal in spaceflight today. A lot of sidequesting.
Plus, NASA's true objective is not comparable with SpaceX's objective. NASA is meant to take the financial risks the private sector won't take, in order to advance the US space industry.
But, awarding funding to private contracts was lacking for many years until about a decade ago, when the US government truly started throwing money towards the private industry (because NASA was becoming dependent on Russia).
SpaceX also benefited from this change and it was pivotal to their rise. So you could say, private companies like SpaceX is a product of NASA's work...since that was the long term goal to begin with.
There is an important distinction though. NASA is basically reinventing an F1 car from scratch with each mission. SpaceX is working to develop the Kenworth truck of space. From day one NASAs brief was to be the path finder, with the assumption private enterprise would develop the economic advantages that NASA discovered. Unfortunately so far the economic advantages of space based private industry have been pretty close to zero.
@@glenchapman3899 close to 0??? It costs about $80 million per astronaut on Soyuz. It costs about 60 million for a whole Crew Dragon flight. Close to 0?
It's a 17 story apartment building falling out of the sky, spinning around and landing.
Incredible job with this video! Does a wonderful job of allowing everyone to relive these moments and all the other great stuff that goes along with that :-)
I always forget about sn11. May you rest in pieces.
I remember watching the first successful landing live. Goosebumps!
This is it boys, this is where it all begin, through hard work, testing, and failing we successfully put human on mars.
Amazing, truly amazing era to be lived on.

@4:35
This shot always amazes me because you get a sense of the scale of the ahip and how its falling right toward the complex
When you see it skydive you almost forget that its almost 400 feet and weighs several tons. Can’t wait for it to be an official starship for missions and not a prototype. Imagine when it gets proper landing legs, windows, full heat tiles, updated internals fuel systems, and life support equipment for astronauts. But with time and hard work it will happen.
I don't think it's almost 400 feet

SpaceX is so far ahead of everyone else, Elon is a genius, he definitely has the Midas touch. Everything he touches turn to gold!
He is far ahead of everyone in the race he invented to distract the attention of fools who poorly taught science in school.
SpaceX is literally only using what the USSR and NASA have developed, and is doing a bad job at it - particularly as a """private""" company.
@@one_step_sideways They built the raptor engine with full closed cycle tech, that wasn't invented by NASA or the USSR.
@@beardedsawyer6322 the guy has problems using a switch i dont think he's someone worth arguing with over this kinda stuff.
Well not everything. His solar program was horrible and it went bust. And I'm not so sure about his autos...we'll see. But in space he's pretty good.
We will perfect this landing in our era !!!!!
GO SPACEX!!! ❤❤❤
What a time to be alive.
That's nuts how fast this is evolving
Designers and Engineers pushing the envelope, the fact they even thought this was feasible is a testament to Human Ingenuity.
Props to SpaceX for not calling SN10, SNX
Today plans for firs orbital attempt were published in FCC site , it's crazy
And last week they stacked the full size rocket system just to test the stacking system, then unstacked to continue the finishing touches.
The footage at 7:36 is insane, I still can't believe that's real footage! Mental
I was thinking the same thing. Life is good when a real world spaceship looks better than CGI lol
His way of thinking, his genius, is the reason why we are going to mars in 10 years.
Mark my word you never will
Maybe i will, maybe i wont…
Sometimes when things seem too impossible it's just a call for a different approach
"Failures are the big keys into success"
- Elon Musk
"If they don't blow up, we have to store them somewhere" - also Elon Musk.
Watching these, explosions and all, made me think of the movie The Aviator, with Leo. All the crazy/ground-breaking/revolutionary things Howard Huges pulls off, pretty much each one of them things, he had multiple people telling him "You can't do that!", or "That's never gunna happen!". And yet he did each one of them. Elon Musk seems like the Howard Huges of my generation. (maybe a little less eccentric lol)
Who's watching this after starship exploded?
cant believe its been 3 years since hopper. i was mind blown back then.
Hotel room reserved for this Sunday night, fingers crossed for a launch within the two day window of me being there!!!
Just beautiful. Congrats on your success!
SpaceX is literally the real life version of Kerbal Space Program.
no
SN15 needs to be a monument in Star City.
This is the definition of practice makes perfect.
Musk saying Bezos "can't get it up" made me love Elon even more.
A fantastic compilation, thankyou!
Its like watching Billionaires play KSP
I hope people in the future keep progressing with the technology. I really want to see humanity go interstellar in my life time.
You kids imagine what it was like back in the 1960s during the Apollo missions when you might have to wait YEARS between seeing launches !
Watching this never gets old so awesome
In less than 4 years they went from Starhopper to fully stacked Starship Superheavy launch?? Wow!
And now we’re here, just after they launched the biggest rocket ever. Granted, it did explode, but it flew for 4 minutes. Big achievement for SpaceX
Today, only four years later the first lift off, the whole SuperHeavyStarship-Rocket reached the Sky! Forward to moon and mars :)
The evolution of the launch site is so amazing, so many things have been built in just 6 months !
That's some amazing engineering.
Ive been watching all these tests since the start. I can not wait to see StarShip and the Booster finally launch.
SN8 There's something very satisfying with that landing. 🤣
This is epic, lots of brilliant emotions while watching these rockets get better and better. Truly amazing how we learn and improve so much. Like the physics here are very impressive
NASA would never even consider blowing up 14 ships to get one that works. Love SpaceX.
I can't believe how close they were testing to the building in the beginning.
God I can't wait to start seeing flights again. I was always rushing home to make sure I could watch these live.
❤ I have hearted your comment
Don’t understand the hate on Elon. He’s a person doing everything that most people are afraid to. He’s a perfect example of the magnitude of things u can do when you follow your dreams
Do you know how these Kickstarter scams work? Where they make some prototypes, promis you the world and then turn out to deliver 5% of what they said or nothing at all.
This is pretty much how Musk operates and how he runs his businesses, but instead of not delivering, he uses money from the future (new promises) to fund the old a bit more.
The experts he hires with money he obtained by lying and misleading, are doing amazing things and deserve the credit. Musk on the other hand, who acts like he is the mastermind behind all the tech, is just a conman with the mindset of a child.
He uses B to fund A, C to fund A&B and D to fund A&B&C. The promises for the future need to get bigger and bigger to keep this bubble in tact. (something we are clearly seeing)
90+% of his/his companies capital is money that people invested for future products (or in anticipation for future products).
Most of this money however, is being used to keep those first projects from dying (since non of Musk his projects are really economically viable).
Ofcourse they can deliver some amazing products to keep people believing in this Musk-scheme, when companies like Tesla are extremely overvalued (due to empty promises for the future) and Musk keeps borrowing money against those assets to fund new projects.
That engine re-light part is a killer
Waching this a year later still blows my mind , starships orbital test flight in t- 26h 🤯
People in 1920: we will have flying cars in 2020
2020: flying silo!!!!
Incredible achievements! Can‘t wait to see things progress.
Que fantástico
Felicitaciones!!!
I can't begin to tell you how much I want this to work.
Well done CNET, please give my heartfelt thanks to the editorial team. You've done a great job capturing and summarizing the incredibly quick development and the beautiful technical achievements of the SpaceX team!
crazy how fast the development stages went by
I know. Funny how fast things get done when you aren't dependent on the whims of Congress for funding.
Im amaze and salute for their great works to made an space journey with progressted technology achievement
Some landing burns are awesome😍
The greatest rocket.
The greatest booster.
The greatest launchpad.
The greatest operation - the greatest plan.
Great stuff, if SN15 sticks it second landing, it will be amazing. No let's tweak that landing profile so it lands closer to center pad. Great job to everyone.
One engine didn't light so it didn't push it as far and it landed short. It's unclear if there was a problem or if it was never started because they had two good engines.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l they don’t need to light 3 engines to land. They only need 2, I think.
@@squdardt.9719 The new plan is to light three and keep the best two. John twice said they will light three Raptors during the webcast and Elon recently said the plan was light three and land on two at low throttle to allow some margibän with one engine throttling up to 110% if necessary, should one fail right at the end.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l At the end he said everything was nominal, there wasn't the usual mention of engine relight failure so maybe they changed the plan due to the new starship design
İt did
Dear humanity in whatever future sees this, thank you. Thank you for allowing us to get so far. For getting past any differences.
Much love,

Full speed ahead. Great video. Thank you
Great choice of the soundtrack!
Thank you for including the part where Elon Musk explains his steps that he and his engineers are to follow when developing new or innovative changes to existing rocket development. A new way of thinking that works like crazy.
Oh my God the ending!!!!!!!!!!!! And it’s so perfectly cut off too that is such ,just wow honestly what
I wanted to declare this on behalf of all future generations. Thank you so much to SpaceX for essentially documenting the development of what will be the record-breaking iconic spaceship of our time and the history of humans. The first interplanetary vehicle was rapidly designed and prototyped with public footage of major tests and the scale of these tests is both dramatic and amazing. It also shows both the failure and triumphs as we make a meaningful return to space beyond low-earth orbit. Once the full-size tests and actual first manned flight are added to a video like this, it will surely be one of the most played videos in history as time passes.
Actually, NASA SPACEFLIGHT and LAB PADRE here on YT have provided almost all the documentation that we see.
The third Raptor failed to restart for the landing burn, but that was why they were starting three (as a safety measure) so they could decide the strongest two, then shut off one to soft land. As I see it (and your estimate may be different) Spacex still needs to work on Raptor reliability. Seeing that every flight or pre-flight test had one fail for different reasons. Raptor is a powerful (per weight), modern, efficient rocket engine that still needs tweaks. GO Spacex!
The third raptor on SN15 experienced abnormal performance already on ascent, and the Starships onboard computer decided not to use it for the landing burn.
Amazing work. They are no only brilliant but quite committed to achieving their goals. That is what takes to make progress.
Aug 2019 - Starhopper - 150m hop - success -- (I still think Starhopper (with a nose cone), as the upper half of a Lunar Starship, would make a good Lunar Lander.)
May 2020 - SN4 - static fire - success and then blast on the ground
Aug 2020 - SN5 - 150m hop - success
Sep 2020 - SN6 - 150m hop - success
Dec 2020 - SN8 - ~10km /flip - 3 engines - success but crushed the landing and went boom! Propellant pressure/flow issues after flip?
Feb 2021 - SN9 - ~10km /flip - 3 engines - success but crushed the landing again and went boom!
Mar 2021 - SN10- ~ 10km /flip - 3 engines - success but just a tad hard landing...and I think it went boom, afterwards...essentially achieving a 2nd hop.
Mar 2021 - SN11- ~ 10km /flip - 3 engines - 'the fog flight' - success but RUD above the clouds near the flip maneuver.
May 2021 - SN15- ~ 10km /flip - 3 engines - successful landing!
Estimated orbital flight by end of 2021 or early 2022.
...
Aug 2022 - nothing flown since SN15...on the quest for an orbital flight using a first ever flight of the Super Heavy booster and Starship to space with vacuum Raptors. This will be a quantum leap past a 3-engine Starship hop. That certainly explains the delay. BN7 or 8 and SN24?
that starhopper concept would make a good transport vehicle for transporting martian people around the planet
Love the choice of ambiant music here. Well done!!! And GO SPACEX !!!
I was anticipating a caption "explosion" with a line connecting to the fireball. :)
7:36 The video is so perfect that looks like a video game. Incredible!
When I read SpaceX was considering launching the SN15 again after the first successful soft landing I got choked up a bit. I can tell everyone at SpaceX is passionate.
The thing that led to SN15's first success (hoping for a repeat) was that it was not the same area that failed on each one prior.
As person who was born in the same city as Elon. Makes me proud to see the dreams this man wants to achieve.
The coolest African man in the world!
Can't wait to see the booster in action
Just speaking for myself, to witness the descension and realize that it is just as remarkable as the ascension, if not more utilitarian. Cool vid, man.
8:22 The song reminds me of Mindustry. BTW, excellent work, SpaceX. I truly believe we're going to reach Mars on my life time.
