It's always a great day when we get to see a Super Heavy roar to life!
Matt, i know you will not problaby see this, but, thanks for all of your videos, remember that you have a lovely community and we'll always love you and support you, so thanks for all!! you have more potential to come, i know it!, your movies are awesome too! ( i stayed to 1:00 AM watching all the trilogy of Duna Attacks! ) Sorry if this was long, but, we love ya! 🤗❤ Stay being awesome! And lots of care!
I can't wait to come back here in 10 years and be like "I had no idea what SpaceX would truly become"
Hi Matt! Thanks for the great videos.
Matt ambatukam...
Thank you for your great coverage, Matt. It's a real treat!!!
That was awesome. The water deluge system appears to have worked perfectly. Congratulations to the entire SpaceX Team.
I mean you can't really tell if it worked perfectly on a small static fire test, whether it does it's job on a launch is a different scenario, but either way the systems in place, fingers crossed
@@MaVela33 no you're definitely misunderstanding....
@@MaVela33No they're saying that you can't really tell if it will work perfectly until that sucker withstands full raptor forces
@@R1PPA-C There were even flying rocks at the static fire tests before the orbital test. I didn‘t have the impression that something like this happened during this test. But we will have to wait for the detailed report…
@@MaVela33You can't really tell if it worked since this not a full power. The concrete on the first static fire last year also worked perfectly but not on the actual launch.
The worlds biggest cloud generator! Congrats on the test, Super Heavy teams!
Nah that's gotta be the rs25
Now the engineers wait for Scott Manley to tell them how it went.

I always love when john is on the commentary. He never talks when there is nothing to say , gives out the information like a true engineer and lets us enjoy the show only chiming in for relevant information. He stops talking so we can hear the other networks and only provide filler commentary when there is nothing going on like here we were waiting for updates from the team regarding the success of the test.
I wish like we have a audio stream of the launch net and a stream of the launch with more enthusiastic commentators, we had just a dedicated john stream so people like me who just want the data and john celebrate after and not durring a launch
And he has that enthusiastic hint to his charming accent as well!
Fantastic to see the first static fire test along with the amazing water deluge system!! Great to hear John Insprucker’s voice commentary again! One step closer to next test flight, Go SpaceX 👏🏻🤩!!
For those who didn't hear, the test duration was 2.74s (refer to 4:15)
See???? Three seconds is a long time!
The countdown with the water deluge start at T-5 and the huge clouds of steam at ignition is as close as it gets in comparison with the epic Space Shuttle starts that we all loved. Great to at least have something back that resembles the spirit of those times! Loved it! Go SpaceX!
Agree, all that water turned instantly to steam was amazing.
I'd like to see the wide-angle camera of how big that cloud got!
Oh, I totally agree. I really had my worries though about the level of steam. After all, the purpose of all the water is meant to act as a massive damage and shock barrier. But considering the strength of these engines, I knew that most likely they would turn the water into steam almost instantly. That in of itself I was worried could cause damage. I mean, I wasn’t expecting exactly some sort of a miniature hydrogen bomb, but we all know that a massive explosion of gas could still rip out along with the flame and water to damage neighbouring structures anyway. We will just have to wait and see after the next launch happens to see how effective it is.
@@danielwhyatt3278 Those were my feelings exactly. (I mean worries.)
And tbh that was a far bigger steam show than I expected. (I mean water vapour, since steam is invisible.) I burst out laughing at the gloriousness of it.
Here's hoping the four engines shutting off prematurely was the only flaw.
@@dixonpinfold2582 me too! i literally burst out laughing when all the steam exploded outward
The coverage (in terms of video quality, clarity and information - great to hear you, JohnI!) puts all others to shame - amazing to see.
Transparency too
@@sulddrea Fully agreed, I don't see any of the other manufacturers or agencies putting out a "How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster" video.
And it's almost cringe whenever there is an anomaly/abort during other casts, so much silence and unclear "uhm"s. They're getting better at it, but SpaceX are still miles ahead.
Rocket science is rocket science after all - it's hard, and it's refreshing to see that SpaceX isn't pretending it isn't, like most others.
Remember when a lot of people said it'd take 6 months or longer and we'd be lucky to see another launch before the end of the year?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
We will be lucky indeed. It's already August and this static fire didn't go well. Half-duration and 4 engines out. Obviously with that it couldn't reach orbit.
@@patham9So did you not consider that the unreliability problem with the Raptor will get addressed very quickly? They have fixed the pad already and the new water deluge system had worked as expected (even though it should have been installed prior) so you calling this test "[not going] well" is nonsense.
Beautiful test on a beautiful day near one of my favorite beaches, and hearing John's commentary was just icing on the cake. Impressive work, SpaceX.
4:13 Test duration of 2.74 seconds (ended before the planned 5 seconds), with 4 engines shutting down prematurely.
@@bingbong7not sure, it’s kinda concerning though. That’s a worse performance than B7.
@@bingbong7Big ship no wanna go boom.
@@Owencr905 could be the new faster start up sequence, idk, just a guess.
Musk is a genius! Nothing works. But he's still a genius. The biggest criminal fraudster in history. 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Wet spark plugs
That was cool! So much power. They are all in the bunker going "Larry, go see if it worked"
Good to see no concrete flying. Here's to a longer test!
I mean the engines weren't full force and only fired for a short duration
The static fire of the previous SN did not break the concrete either, that's why they went with the flight
Concrete didn't fly during any of B7's static fires either due to lower power and shorter duration. However, this new water deluge deflector does look very promising so I have high hopes that the pad won't be decimated on the next flight test.
No concrete went flying because there is no concrete underneath the booster 😀 It's only thick steel and water now.
What amazing views from this test and really great to see John Insprucker on Commentary. Keep those Livestreams coming SpaceX!

Tests are how you learn. Keep them coming!
Amazing how quickly SpaceX has been able to get to this stage since the last launch. People were saying that a second Starship launch in 2023 would be impossible, but it's only August and we have a static fire...
Definitely making history here. Pushing humanity forward with every step
Awesome test today! Looking forward to seeing a full duration static fire to really test out the new deluge system!!! Congrats SpaceX! Amazing progress!!!
Av“Full duration” static fire for the purpose of this test would still be only a few seconds since thereafter the Beast would clear Stage Zero and on its way.
I think he means a full thrust 33 engine test
Well done to all involved in getting the site back into operation. It's looking awesome and I can't wait to see some more tests and launches from it!
I have to say that this is night and day, a much better result. That looked really good from a deluge perspective. Can’t wait to see the next launch in a few months (hopefully).
Great job, folks! I hope you all captured all the system data you wanted! Continued success to you!
Insane to withstand that much pressure. Great work!
So nice to see the American Broomstick being prepared for launch! Congratulations Space X, you guys rock!
Not an American Broomstick this is an American Hoover...
easily impressed by a flying war rag, the people who will appropriate anything have found something else to be proud off, besides their enslavement.. precious moments..
Wrong rocket my guy
Nah, it’s a grain silo
It’s a light saber you fools..
Amazing job and a huge applause for the entire Spacex team!
The comments and video made my day. Thank you Space X, for giving us real inspiration.
Thanks so much for putting more live videos and status information online more frequently!
wow! seems the pad held up well, hopefully the next fire will be 33/33!
Don't see any debris or damage, looks like they fixed the problem
@@lunantix Not necessarily, this wasn't full thrust
@@lunantix too early to tell, the engines are not fully powered during this test and the pad is being blasted for only little time. With the previous booster 7 static test the old pad survived also.
@@TDWTheJokeryeah it was completely fine
@@TDWTheJokerit sorta survived, they only had 1 small concrete pour. This test looks like it did pretty good. Because if that we might even see another SF soon
Congrats! It seems the water deluge has just demonstrated a proof of concept! (Although a premature shut down of 4 engines is probably something to investigate further. - But that probably means: we will see something like this again soon!)
I agree, definitely interested to see further tests before it's confirmed ready. But it's promising progress so far.
Hope you're right but the geometry seems all wrong to me. Energy goes down, hits the plate, reflects straight back up and damages engines. They need a flame deflector or a steel cone on the pad plate to change the angle of energy deflection or this is always going to be an issue.
@@MrCrystalcraniumThey did add a flame deflector system already, it's the water deluge you see going off around t minus 5 seconds.
Always nice listening to John Insprucker. Greetings from Innsbruck :-)
BEAUTIFUL!! That deluge system was amazing and really reduced the amount of dust. I've heard stories say that the firing wasn't nearly as loud at a distance as it was on the first flight test, so the steam really cut a lot of the energy. You guys are amazing and astounding!! More please!!
Amazing! Hope to see Starship flying as soon as plausible!
Congrats! Can't wait for the second flight test!
Good to have John provide the commentary for the test.
You ya you space X ; you are what keep me interested in space by letting us see what it takes to make it happen . i have watched thru the years (67 now) and you are the first to let us in. Thank you so very much!
The size of that cloud is amazing!
Huge congratulations to the ENTIRE Space X Team!! Every person who works for this company is Amazing!! All of you have and will change human space flight forever!!
What a suck up
Thank you for the coverage! So exciting.
Beautiful. Well done! It worked beautifully.
I love how minimalistic the deluge system and it seems like it's not there. Congrats SpaceX. Well done! unto the next one.
Amazing test with amazing views and great commentary! Such a great step up from the previous live stream! Commentary, Mission Control Audio, Many views, and a moved count down clock! Wish all 33 ignited, but 29 is great too!
All 33 Raptors ignited but four were shut down prematurely. I base this on the fact that SpaceX stated that four had been shut down, if they had failed to ignite they would have said so.
@@SlartiMarvinbartfast For some reason, the flight computers shut them down, so now SpaceX will have to figure out why based on the data they got
Now the engineers wait for Scott Manley to tell them how it went.
@@AGENT47ist I suppose we have no idea if static fire tests have stricter shutdown parameters. I could see arguments for and against. Either way, if four shutdown in a cluster it could be a plumbing issue. If its a cluster.

Let me guess. You saw this quote somewhere today and thinking it was clever, you're repeating it over and over and over again in the comment section. No doubt you're irritating the f*** out of everyone in your immediate vicinity.

Nice... I could literally feel that through my screen
That was a stunning test, the new deluge seemed to have worked perfectly! I just hope that you will get the Raptors far more reliable asap
Thank you SpaceX and Broadcast Team!!!
Congrats on a great test!! So exciting!!
Great test. Now they'll examine the data frame by frame, and see what caused those four engine failures. I am anxiously waiting to hear the post-test analysis. Go Spacex!
They not even reached in the result from the first flight to FAA
Looks like the 4 engines had bad information relayed to it sooner than the other 29engines. Somehow how those 4 engines acquired the data before any other engines did. MAYbe the line got snagged on a piece of debris and the 4 engines shot incorrectly from the bad data sets. WHO knows what those data sets are Donning-Virtually no one knows unless the analysts see through that old source code. Hopefully no moles got hurt on the ground during the test launch phase. Try another "fill test" and hopefully it launches properly with corrected data sets. Good luck and Godspeed on your next launch.
@@Science-bi8dpIt helps if you mention a source for your information… otherwise anyone can go rambling technical stuff and be believed.
@@Engineer9736 He sounds scientific but it is total B.S.
Space X has said that those four engines were shut down at the start of the test.
Very impressive. This big grain silo is packing so much power!
Your comment made me curious, so for what it's worth here's some math:
The Super Heavy booster has a volume of ~621m3.
That much grain would have a total energy of ~7.3 terajoules.
The energy needed for Starship to reach orbit is ~51 terajoules.
Hope you enjoyed your random maths for today.
@@Pyroteknikid Thank you! 😁
@@Pyroteknikid It's a waste of 51 terajoules.
@@roncatman6236 Oxygen is better suited inside those tanks than in your lungs.
Every time I see this thing fire up my jaw is on the floor. What a feat of human engineering.
Well done SpaceX! Hope it doesn't take too much time to iron out the issues with the raptors shutting down, fingers crossed!
Don’t worry SpaceX… You still surpass Blue Origin’s currently flying rocket engine count by 28.
And beat their recovery rate of 0
@@MaVela33just because something exists doesn’t mean it deserves your support. Maybe blue origin does maybe it doesn’t idk
@@MaVela33 Written language was invented over 5000 years ago. When you learn to use it, instead of trying to communicate in pictograms, maybe somebody will take your opinions seriously.
Awesome sight. ❤
Yea John always great to hear you broadcasting
The situation causing premature engine shutdown should have more definitive data this time. Obviously we can likely discount flying debris as contributing to early shutdowns
Musk said that last time shut-downs were not caused by debris either.
So there is something else going on. All the engines have been test-fired individually, so it seems likely it could be related to some condition caused by all engines firing at once.
@@billstevens3796My guess is overpressure
Let's think back in the not too distant past when SpaceX was perfecting the Falcon booster landings. Lots of doubters who were "certain" they would never accomplish "such a silly, stupid, and impossible plan." And of course, we're now at the point where landings, not only on land, but on the pitching and bobbing ocean platforms - has become commonplace.
By comparison, this OLM and Raptor situation appears much easier to get right. These are still the nascent stages of the Starship program; Raptors and all. I'd say it's progressing extremely favorably.
Looks good! Can't wait to hear more on the results!
That was amazing to watch! Thanks!
That was awsome with the water shower. The pad will survive for sure now
I can’t wait to see this beast fly!
Beautiful! Congrats to all the hard-working SpaceX techs, construction teams, and engineers. Sorry to hear some engines cut off early but it sure looked smooth.
This never gets old!! Go Starship! 🚀
So much power! I love it :D
Congrats & thanks for sharing 🚀🚀🚀👍
That was impressive. It was pretty much expected to have a few problems, it’s still awesome though!
Very well done. Impressive!
Brutal!!!!! Awesome view!!!!!
No dust cloud, just steam baby!! The deluge system worked like a charm, so, 4 engines shut down, no biggie, that can be fixed easily. But the pad held up and no rocks, no dust cloud, just steam and that's it. The FAA better grant a launch permit because they have no excuses now with this deluge system.
What is the deluge system?
That was very cool to watch. Thanks space x hope the nect test is successful and we can see the next Orbital flight test
Congratulations spacex and good luck in the following static ignitions
Great job space x
Beautiful! Love the water flood!!!
Great, isn't it! Looks like it'll do the job alright!
This looks way bigger then falcon 9’s can’t wait to see them fly just as often
Insane!!!! So incredible and exciting.
What a turn around from concrete flying everywhere to deluge and OLM , concrete pad testing.
Doubters still gonna doubt , but looking at the speed of the progress, I am totally looking forward to Starship 2 test launch in the near future
Awesome job
Great to see the steam dissipating the energy.
The pad looks so incredibly clean even after the deluge system install. Very impressive. I suppose anything that sticks up off the ground would be subject to a lot of force from the booster.
The launch pad survived unscathed but they lost 4 engines almost immediately, in all probability due to acoustic deflection off the plate. What's more important...the damage incurred by the launch pad or the damage incurred by the rocket? It doesn't make sense to me how so many people are focused on protection of the launch facilities when the shock from startup bounces at 90 degrees off the plate right back up into the engines and snuffs some of them out. Until they solve this, it'll never get off the OLM without damage.
@@MrCrystalcranium90°?
@@nagualdesign The angle between the rocket thrust and what it's hitting. Think about shooting off an air horn at the flat side of a large building half a mile away. The echo is going to bounce right back at you.
@@MrCrystalcranium I think you mean 180°. The shock from startup bounces at 180° off the plate right back up into the engines.
@@nagualdesign Yes the deflection is a full 180 but to get that, you need to be at a 90 degree angle to it.
good coverage. thank you
What a marvel of our time! Utterly amazing~
This time around, there were no flying chunks of concrete, smashing into cars, retaining walls, and storage tanks. Progress.
Yes but we have to wait and see whether everything will hold up when all 33 engines are fired. Before the steel plate was installed, the concrete held up fine except when all 33 engines were fired up. This was still a great success!
Congrats SpaceX 👏
It was awesome!
Awesome job y'all. God bless.
Great job and thank you for your honesty. Many other companies would have hidden the failure of the 4 engines.
