I agree...I don't think the novelty will ever wear off, I have a feeling I'm going to be watching these launches with just as much excitement when they're sending multiple up per day.
I can't wait for booster recovery using the tower. It will definitely top falcon heavy triple landing. It's still craziest thing I ever seen till this day.
The logistics of keeping not 1 but 2 spaceships flying simultaneously isn’t given enough love. Picking up a the booster the moment it becomes its own thing while grabbing control of the starship as it lights and begins to work . Just that is an incredible achievement.
😂😂😂 and when did all this happen on Starship champ? Last time I looked, one hit the ocean at faster than the speed of sound & the other exploded during re-entry after failing every test
@@mervstash3692 most (if not all) SpaceX rockets multi-stage and then both are separately controlled, with the first stage coming back under control while the main stage works its magic in orbit. Sure Starship hasn’t had all the bugs ironed out yet, that’s why they are test flights, but the cleverness of how SpaceX routinely stages and then controls what amounts to 2 rockets simultaneously is still a valid point IMHO but if you can’t see that for the technical marvel it is, then that’s ok.
@@richardmattocks dude STFU. They have a contract for the moon. They are years behind schedule. Don't try spin it with the "oh they are just testing" line. The goal submitted in the missing plan was to catch the booster & to soft splash the 2nd stage in the ocean. Didn't come close to achieving either of those. Stage 2 didn't make orbit velocity, Stage 2 failed the door test, it failed the fuel transfer. Everything was a fail. By all means geek out over the potential, but don't be a delusional sickafant.
You really gotta hand it to those grid fins... they were putting in work right there at the end to control that roll. Significant improvement in both the booster and the ship. Truly an amazing test flight. Can't wait to see IFT-4. Feels very likely to succeed.

I’m not sure Commercial Space Flight as in point-to-point flights with Starship will happen but I’m confident they will do some kind of tourism thing where you can spend a day in space on Starship. It’s big and can fit around 100 people comfortably and the pressurised cargo is bigger than a Boeing 747’s pressurised cargo so it can probably do more than 100.
@@archierush868wow! The size alone is impressive! Have I heard correctly, it’s the largest and most powerful rocket mankind has made to date? Absolutely insane if so. As far as my comment on commercial space travel, what I meant was using the upper atmosphere for commercial flights to and from locations here on Earth. I guess “space flight” is the wrong term for this. Regardless I’m blown away by the advancements in my lifetime alone. From landlines and VHS to augmented reality and this! Im only 30 I can’t imagine what my son will see and experience as an adult.
@@YoWhoDatCorrect, it is the tallest, most powerful rocket ever made and launched into space in human history… and it’s designed to be fully reusable meaning the ship and booster can land itself back at the launch site by being caught on the giant black arms called chopsticks. Only one time in history i believe a rocket has ever been caught mid flight and that was recent in 2022 or 23 with RocketLabs Electron rocket which is tiny compared to this, was caught by a helicopter but was cut after the pilot said it was too hard to control so it was dropped. The booster is 70M or 210FT tall which is an extra 60FT taller than the Statue of Liberty from torch to toe. Include the ships extra hight of 50M or 150FT and it’s taller than the Statue of Liberty from torch to Ground with room for around 2 starships to be stacked onto of the statue sideways. It’s literally a flying Skyscraper which is insane! I’m young and have never seen any true rocket launch in person since I’m British and any possible rocket launch here would be scrubbed due to weather, but I dream of one day maybe there will be an offshore Starship launch pad close to the UK for space tourism.
Big step up from the last flight as far as coverage, hot staging, liftoff start sequence was faster than ift-2 I believe as well. OLM looks in pretty good shape! Hopefully they can tune the booster landing gnc a bit more and fix whatever was making the ship's attitude control whack out and keep rolling. We know they will.
These flights (IMHO) show the benefit of real-world flight testing vs all the simulations wasting years. Sure it’s not the cheap option but wow the lessons learned are really worth it and paying off!
It was the 21st century and Elon Musk was learning what falling thermal protection panels are and the inability to correct elevators in a rarefied atmosphere🤣🤣🤣
@@user-xl4xp5bx8m You can critique once you fly a rocket to orbit. Like I said to you in another message, there is plenty of funding and desire for another capable company.

“bUt It’s a FIsh eYE leNs!” Yeah, and it’s so they can see more of the ROCKET and not the earth. If they wanted to, and i think they have a few times, they can launch a rocket with a perfectly normal lens which doesn’t show any distortion and you’ll get basically the exact same footage.

If it was a fisheye lens, the concord would look very distorted, but it doesn’t because we know how they look. The picture of the concord from a high altitude proves the earth is round because you can literally see its round there.
@@sdrc92126If you took the time to think, you would know you wouldn’t see stars during the day, even in space because theres this other star quite close to us called “The Sun” which is soo bright, cameras which are exposed to see the dim stars would be blown out from the brightness of the sun. It’s like trying to look at a candle from a mile away with a spotlight in your face, you just won’t be able to see anything.
Thank you so much for this, I was asleep when it happened so didn't get to see it until now. What an amazing achievement for SpaceX and incredible views of the Earth from both the booster and the ship! We're really entering a whole new era of spaceflight and I am here for it.
This is really crazy because when you think about it, the only criteria of this test that Starship failed involved the reusability of both stages. If they really wanted, SpaceX could start launching payloads to orbit with it today. They just couldn’t reuse any of the hardware, *yet*. With how this is progressing, I have no doubt they will get this mastered soon. Godspeed Starship and SpaceX!
A lot of people are saying super heavy doesn't need to do a re-entry burn because it's stronger, but I'm noticing that it's going considerably slower than Falcon 9. reaching a max of 4330 on reentry where as falcon 9 reaches speeds of 4750. I think they simply optimized the flight plan in a way so that they enter slower. I think the falcon 9 actually has to endure a lot more during reentry.
I have strong belief that one of the grid fins failed down range ... it was controlling very good and then it looks like a grid fin got stuck and the rest were compensating to counter-act.
In my opinion, the Booster did not start the engines because there was too little fuel. Option 2, the drag slowed the booster down too quickly, the fuel rose up, making it difficult for the fuel to flow to the engines.
I heard that the ship was slightly out of control and ignition would have worsened the situation. Bad stabilization during re-entry may have been one factor for RUD
@David-wc5zl You're confusing the HLS contract with the Starship program as a whole. These flights are footed by SpaceX, and aren't related to HLS development. And the money SpaceX has gotten from NASA, $1.9 billion, not 3, wasn't wasted (since it's milestone based, so they only get paid when they complete said milestones).
@@David-wc5zl Also if you wanna pay less taxes, I'll give you a hint. Lockheed Martin scalps our govt. with exclusive contracts that cost us like 400 billion a year. If we didn't get rid of competition in the military sector post-WW2, we would have better military tech for way less money, but now 3 Companies have a stranglehold on the sector and can charge whatever they want with no alternatives or competition... SpaceX is advancing our species massively
I guess the air flow pressure just got into the fuel channels after ehm, large and fast hardening of a clapans material in the engine intake. It could've clogged with air chop, pressured more then a fuel left in tank. Make a mechanical combustion space which will be sealed and having a reserve fuel for an ignition from a reserve line from completely outsourced SECTORED INSIDE into each engine a sector reserve fuel tank. Why not one reserve tank for all reserve lines? For the same reason the main line goes off. So it turns main booster off, it closes 2 doors in fuel line, in space between the another fuel intake from a reserve line, starts landing and when time comes you pressurize camera with reserve fuel , igniting an opening doors. Make ignition a starter like, it wont have one or two takes, make it constant and put a 15-20 seconds time for it in advance to make full test igniting a round of synchronised blank blasts before opening main engine start at a designed alt. And, say, the inner pressure valve can be one locking reserve channel before main boost turns off and it clogs the main line, opening reserve one with one separate stormdoor lower
It was an amazing test and a great milestone in the SpaceX hystory! I can't wait to see how these data will be used to improve Spaceship journey to the great abyss
@@snake1557 Cool. Thanks for tuning me in. I was thinking too they could have the rockets powered by solar. As they gain altitude they get closer to the sun! This has to mean way more energy than at sea level, surely 👍 Mickey in 🇦🇺
@@snake1557 Provided they're launched during the day, that is. If they're launched at night the rockets could travel all the way to the sun & never get the chance to recharge their solar cells 😁
Constructing a concrete structure resembling a volcano with multiple holes around it to disperse heat presents an intriguing idea. This design could potentially spread the intense heat generated during a launch, reducing the concentration of heat in any single area.
So a flame diverter which has been in use since I think the 40’s? They’ve already settled on a giant steel-water plate, basically making the place below where the engines light a shower to protect the OLM and the concrete from not digging into the ground.
How about…next launch, mount cameras on the inside of the vessel…I’d imagine Elon’s got little windows on the starship. Inside looking outside cameras. We need more cameras!

It was a perbolic orbit.@@clipseobastian1433
Congrations to the massive diversity in Mission Control!

When I first saw this I thought it was fake. Wow. Very impressive.
and the second time they use it or not? I haven't heard of them being used a second or third time
Those engines throw out a fair bit of soot! Will they be looking to go electric some time soon.. you know, the ozone layer & all that 👍 😅
The engines burn methane and oxygen creating CO2 and H2O as by products. It won’t hurt the ozone. 😁
@@snake1557 Cool. Thanks for tuning me in. I was thinking too they could have the rockets powered by solar. As they gain altitude they get closer to the sun! This has to mean way more energy than at sea level, surely 👍 Mickey in 🇦🇺
@@snake1557 Provided they're launched during the day, that is. If they're launched at night the rockets could travel all the way to the sun & never get the chance to recharge their solar cells 😁
Anyone knows that what happened to the booster?
Splashed into the ocean at almost the speed of sound
Ohh....okkk.
Constructing a concrete structure resembling a volcano with multiple holes around it to disperse heat presents an intriguing idea. This design could potentially spread the intense heat generated during a launch, reducing the concentration of heat in any single area.
So a flame diverter which has been in use since I think the 40’s? They’ve already settled on a giant steel-water plate, basically making the place below where the engines light a shower to protect the OLM and the concrete from not digging into the ground.
Elon: Lets boost a building into space
Everyone: okay
How about…next launch, mount cameras on the inside of the vessel…I’d imagine Elon’s got little windows on the starship.
Inside looking outside cameras.
We need more cameras!
