  • On December 9, 2020, Starship serial number 8 (SN8) completed a high-altitude flight test as it successfully ascended, transitioned propellant, and demonstrated a first-of-its-kind controlled aerodynamic descent and landing flip maneuver - which will enable landing where prepared surfaces or runways do not exist, including the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

    When I watched this live I thought everything was going horribly wrong on ascent when those engines started cutting out. I was so excited to hear later that it was all planned out that way and everything went perfectly until the engines didn't generate enough thrust at the very end. The flip maneuver was so amazing. Unbelievably impressive - it's rare for me to get so giddy with excitement :D. Nothing beats watching those twin boosters landing synchronously from the first Falcon Heavy launch, though. That's the moment where I was like "yep, we're all living in science fiction now." I'm sure I'll feel that again when we get some successful landings from Starship and Super Heavy.

      Don't worry! We would probably be able to reliably land SN12, if I'm being conservative, and SN10 if I'm optimistic.
      The type of landings that Super Heavy does have already been done with Falcon 9, we just need to test the technology so expect BN8 to stick a landing.
      We'll be able to start full Starship (The Whole Rocket) testing around Late 2021 to Early 2022 if we're being optimistic!
      P.S: I forgot to mention that The Full Starship will most likely be tested with orbital flights, no more 12.5km flights by then.

      Glad i'm not alone, the way those engines were cutting out and dangling to the side seemed like catastrophic failures to an outsider like me. But on the way down I noticed they were still functional. What a ride.

      Me too. being born in 1970 I missed all the excitement of that, and until recently there just didn't seem to be the will to do much beyond putting up satellites so far as manned exploration goes. We waited years for space agencies to do it, but it's now obvious that it would always be private industry that gets there first. Unlike the space agencies their budgets aren't controlled by penny pinching bean counters and their goals don't change as different politicians get elected so they can have longer term plans.
      I really enjoyed seeing SN8's short flight, it achieved many new things and I'm sure that had it not suffered fuel starvation at the last moment then everything would have gone perfectly.

      I tend to be less nervous at launch (perhaps foolishly) but instead get anxious as I watch the rocket engines pivoting (seemingly dancing) on their gimbal mounts during descent. I also get anxious watching maneuvers - eg the belly flop reorientation, which turned out to be amazing to watch ... so I just cannot stop watching the launches/recoveries and docking.
      As they say, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Matching this philosophy with good Engineering Risk-Benefit Analysis, one can make AMAZING progress. “What you achieve is proportional to what you attempt.” Well done, SpaceX.

    10 years of Falcon development and expertise and an absolutely brilliant and relentless team of space cowboys are making this look almost easy. It isn't. I still can't get over how perfect SN8's flight was. I must have rewatched this flight at least 100 times, and every time I notice something new. The gimbal movements just before engine cut off just drive me crazy. It's just insane how far ahead this is.
    There'll be other flights, SN9 is already waiting at the launchpad, and probably some of the upcoming flights will be remembered in history more than SN8, but damn, I, for one, am never going to forget this flight.

      @@RD-270 I think I've gotten more quotes from Nathan Fillion characters than any other. My favorite is from Slither though, and could probably apply to Elon about the SpaceX detractors.

      True, Space-X was involved in about the only positive events in 2020. It reminds me of the "1968" episode of "From the Earth to the Moon".
