Thank you Lab Padre for your live coverage of Starships IFT-4. Also I want to thank all of your staff that makes all of this posable every day, Thank you!!!!
1:44:13 liftoff, watch until T+9 :30
2:29:09 plasma starts
2:40:20 flap melting, watch 6 mins
2:47:00 signal regained
3:05:19 altitude 0.
Absolutely AWESOME to watch! CONGRATULATIONS SpaceX!!!!!
Thanks to Lab and the whole crew! Best show ever ever & commentary 👏 👌. Will make the best update too!
All the times were marginally off because the missing raptor made for a slower ascent. If you watch it compared to IFT-3, it was going more than 200km/h slower than IFT-3 when IFT-3 had stage separation. IFT-4 waited until it got going the same speed before stage separation, which obviously took longer.
I HOPE Burt & Ernie kept their hair on during & after the launch. They are survivors & have a front row seat... brave Burt & Ernie! They could tell a story!
It was a splashing success 🙌
Been waiting for this day since Feb 20 1962 Friend Ship VII launch.A little 7 year old boy sat in front of his T.V waiting to be amazed.
Awesome success. Gratz!
I assume that some work will be done on those flaps before trying next steps, but still....awesome.
Great coverage. Thank you!
Remember, they said long ago that the flaps where bigger then they needed to be, this clearly proved that.
Would love to see images of the ship in the water.
Insane soft landings!😮
Great coverage LAB Padre, work staff watch it from Port Isabel on the computer and outside. 🤙🤙✌✌
Thank you Marcus House, I had heard about LabPadre in videos but never looked… now I’ve subscribed and hope to watch many more launches 🚀
Ohh. 🤔 is Lisa Watson-Morgan eating a lot of gummy’s 🤤 or just sleep deprived. lol very scary spokesperson 😳😱
Wow, thanks for letting rewatch this, 🤯 wow
Amazing!!!! Way to go!!!!!🎉
fantastic test flight.
congratulations to everyone involved!
I assume that, if the ship remained intact, those huge and empty fuel tanks will render it buoyant and, thus, recoverable.
SpaceX has no plans to recover the ship or booster.
@@DanielRichards644 - so I understand. However, I would think that recovery would be necessary for thorough evaluation of the tiles and substructure.
@gordonpromish9218 yet SpaceX themselves said several times during the broadcast they where not attempting to recover either vehicle. Remember they have all kinds of sensors all over the ships, they got the data they need at this point.
@@DanielRichards644 - as noted already: I am aware of their statements. I will also note that I have not asserted that they are going to recover either unit, nor that I assumed they would do so.
what I said, and here I will quote, was:
_"I assume that, if the ship remained intact, those huge and empty fuel tanks will render it buoyant and, thus, recoverable."_
sensors are wonderful, but direct visual and physical examination is better. The NTSB, as an example, doesn't rely on the flight data recorder alone if they can put the pieces of a wrecked vehicle together on a hangar floor. You can't do a dye-enhanced fluoroscopic or an X-Ray examination of materials by remote telemetry.
I would think they would like to have the opportunity for direct examination, and I assume that the empty tanks would provide sufficient buoyancy to allow recovery which would allow such direct examination - if not this time, then on some later test flight.
I hope any confusion on this matter is now firmly laid to rest?
youtube reply threading seems rather buggy. test. test. test.
I keep seeing people say that superheavy booster enters the atmosphere at a higher speed than F9 but that's not true at all. Super heavy is going slower compared to most F9 re-entries.
Will the Starship land unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?
Time to get back to work at perfecting Starship 5.
Speachless😅
Drone boat cam of touchdown would be awesome
If #5 is an RTLS mission , I will be down there to see it. I went down to see #1.
Wow
i wonder if they will add an overlap to the flap joint to stop the plasma/hot gases getting inside
I think the only way they'll make the Ship 100% reusable is by slowing down the reentry speed.
I’m assuming you said this before you watched the flight today. They went from the problem of building a reusable rocket larger than anything ever built before to solving a melty flap.
They’re good to go.
Reentry is the slowing down per se. To slow down ships in space they use the atmosphere to convert speed in heat.
if not that way ship will need to carry to space propellant to undo the whole 27000 km/h of launch, witch is absolutely impossible.
If there was only one faulty flap, it should have been a TPS problem actually.
It's absolutely a TPS problem.
Vehicle recovery??? They hit the oceans just after 0kmph !
1:44:20
At 12333 kilometers per hour the camera lens shattered.
No engines for land!!
If only... That would be something!
Wonder if the best approach to the actuator gap will be old school honeycomb ablative similar but modernized to apollo.
The booster won't relight
That flat will detach soon
Booster has passed the time for engine relight
The ship won't flip
Too much negativity from the presenters over here. Have some positivity like dang it.
Wish they didn’t have a feed that seemed to be like 10seconds ahead of what was shown. Hearing all the details ahead of what’s actually happening ruins it imo
2:50:26 ah yes the sun lighting up the Indian Ocean during US daylight hours.
That’s the engine light reflecting 😂
Is anyone going to address the fact that the spaceX channel was taken over by an add during launch?
YT channel? There were no spaceX YT channels streaming, it's all scams
Thanks LabPadre for the coverage, and Well done, SPACEX! 🚀🚀🛰🛰🚀🚀🛰🛰🚀🚀
