- Starship’s fourth flight test launched with ambitious goals, attempting to go farther than any previous test before and begin demonstrating capabilities central to return and reuse of Starship and Super Heavy. The payload for this test was the data.
Starship delivered.
On June 6, 2024, Starship successfully lifted off at 7:50 a.m. CT from Starbase in Texas and went on to deliver maximum excitement.
The fourth flight of Starship made major strides to bring us closer to a rapidly reusable future. Its accomplishments will provide data to drive improvements as we continue rapidly developing Starship into a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond. - Наука та технологія
Starship makes me realize that I’m finally living in the future that my child self thought I’d never live to see.
yeah camera tech is top notch these days
pretty cool

No electricity, no indoor plumbing, no automobiles.
She lived in the age of sailing ships, and got to witness electrification, the atomic bomb, supersonic flight and man walk on the moon.
(I think she's got you beat 😉)
👍👍👍
SpaceX and AI
The outercovering chipping away during re-entry was amazing visually
Those little wings held in there and were still actuating. Someone earned a fat bonus check!
Yeah ❤🎉
Did it explode or not land I am not getting it
@@danny.belanger Despite the damage sustained during re-entry, Starship still managed a controlled landing and continued to send data right up until splash-down in the Pacific.
SpaceX still has a lot of work to do, but this flight test went *a lot* further than the last one, and accomplished so much more.
@@FerrisSOCALwell they seem small, they are actually 3,5 meters tall!
Must admit when I saw the plasma burn-through on the stabiliser fins I thought it was all over. The fact it made it all the way back is a great achievement. Starship is a beast.
Apparently elon said on the internal cams from inside the cargo bay they could see the steel GLOWING, insane!
Nailbiting, you could say.
Yup. But it still worked! Amazingly.
i have simulated the mars landing in my last video, its funny.
We had "It's so over" like 5 times through the flight, and that thing was still going!
I am 74 years old ,75 this year. I have been alive ever since the early experimental tests from the equipment recovered by the USA military under operation paperclip. Popular mechanics covered many of the early space technology, the dreams and futuristic views. But NOW with SpaceX in the space technology. But OMG how things have advance so far and so quickly, it is so brilliant. I just love it. Every day it is like a new era has arrived. More more. Cheers from New Zealand. 👍👍👍🍻🍻
Haven't even made a trip to the moon nor any sort of equivalent despite much better tech. Hasn't been saving any money in launches either as Musk has claimed. Also SpaceX is extremely behind schedule from Musk's claims.
@@MsHojat I don't know where you got your info, but Falcon 9 and Falcon heavy are the cheapest launch vehicles (in terms of $/kg of payload) and the next best alternative is more than double the cost.
Just turned 70. Still have my scrap books from the Gemini & Apollo program...thru the 1960's. SpaceX is what we were hoping for...independent company who would revolutionize a space program...fast, dependable, adventurous...not bogged down by NASA's bureaucracy. Spacex can do in weeks what it would take NASA years to accomplish. Fantastic.
@@johnbass66 I don't agree with him on the rest of the stuff he said, but it is true that SpaceX might be dumping their prices, between Musk's money + the money they get from US military satellites they can afford to do it to win the market. Currently Falcon 9 is not exactly fully reusable, as they have to refurbish it for it to be ready for another launch, and SpaceX hasn't disclosed anything about the cost that implies.
@@MsHojat Keep smoking bro just like pleople who said that landing rockets let alone reuse them multiple times it was impossible? Yeah right good luck with that little troll. Im not wasting my time arguing
The end gave me chills 😮
You probably have a cold then
@@bloxxiq aren't you the soul of every party!
Same!
Me too, [insert rocket chill joke]
No way they will attempt landing at the platform this early!
If they do, that's extremely confident and bold...
This was one of the greatest livestreams ever made.
The Texas landscape, the microphones in the launchpad, the cameras in the air and even in different States following the rocket from the ground, the signal cutout and waiting anxiously to see if the rocket was OK, the demonstration of the Starlink streaming capabilities on re-entry, the animations to explain what the rocket was doing and why, and the re-entry itself (something humans have never seen before), creating one of the most spectacular light shows ever created by man. And the drama at the end with the flap and camera breaking.
SpaceX makes every livestream a movie.
Cinema
Agreed. I will never get tired of seeing the rolling clouds of nitrogen going across the landscape like at 0:03 Also just seeing the shockwaves rushing out across the water and through the clouds is awe inspiring. I remember going to KSC and seeing the Saturn V on display thinking that we will never see a rocket this big and powerful fly again.. fast forward to today and we have this beast that has more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V.
An action adventure movie
but only on Twitter 😢
Where did it livestream then?? Wasn't on UA-cam.... And if it was on Twitter, I don't have Twitter. They would get more views here.
Hate it when media says it was a failure... it was a success test! Good job people!
I no longer hate anything media says. Just like I do not bother with what some drunkard screams about. ^^
For this flight I didn't see any media calling it a failure. It's at least a partial success by all metrics.
If the definition of success is "it was tested" then that totally throws away the point of the term "success". It's the most successful launch to date, but considering the amount of time that has passed, number of tests performed, and total costs this is not good overall. Musk made many statements about SpaceX's capabilities/roadmap and has been egregiously wrong about many important ones such as timeframes and cost.
@@MsHojatyou highly miss the point by understanding that anyone said that success means now "it is tested".
Nobody ever said that and the term "success" is not to be debated about at all. So you basically are having a conversation with your own.
but this time there was almost no reports about a failure, but i understand what you mean. The previous flights where heavily described like that
Real life is quickly becoming the prologue to a scf-fi movie, this is an amazing time to be alive!
The shot from the top of the booster going through the clouds. Insane im speechless
Wish these launches were still streamed on UA-cam! Still great to watch nonetheless
You can watch every launch live on UA-cam. Channel: The Launch Pad
Watch on everyday astronaut or Nasaspaceflight
@@satya5655 Yeah but then I gotta deal with the launch pads BS commentary\
@@satya5655yeah or everyday astronaut
seriously, It was great when spacex was streaming launches on UA-cam.
Seeing all those people, "nerds" and all.. jumping and shouting and smiling with all the excitement.. is always the highlight for me.. Love you guys..Keep pushing us into the future.
NERDS!! 🤬👹😈😼😻
All i see is a lot od hard working spaceX employees being excited to see the fruits of their Labor even though starships are built in boca id bet a lot of the people over their in Hawthorne out a lot of work into the paperwork and design kf this launch vehicle
Wished they showed more footage of the team like at the end. Its very high quality and clearly they filmed the whole thing.

Nothing is more empowering in this video than those in the control room not even believing how successful it was - that indicates the sheer size of the leaps each flight are attempting.
Mais e claro que eles acreditam no sucesso, o espanto e de ter realmente funcionado com eles queriam, ninguém faz algo grandiosamente espetacular sem acreditar.
@@rochamoto Sim... mas ver o que você tanto sonhou finalmente tornar realidade é sempre incrível.
For me, that looked ... staged.
@@SergeyPRKLit cannot be staged. Elon himself was there and he dont do all this stupid stuff. The hardworking they did to get all this would make anyone happy for positive results. I just hope you are 25 plus and am talking to a matured person.
@@rochamoto Sure - belief is an absolute thing - but watching the damage then seeing the result can still cause surprise.
Great video! Can't wait for test 5
Excited ❤🎉

@@disclaimer6872 Late july said elon
If the flight 5 goes well, and they capture the booster, this can be historic. We trust in Elon and Space X team.

Watching the ship barely clinging to life was the craziest thing I've ever seen live
I’ve watched this like 10 times ,,,, and the smile on my face won’t go away !!!!!!!
Watching this as it happened in real time had me on the edge of my seat. Good luck on IFT-5!
Watching it right now again has me edging.
@@kevind1980 Edging together, we are
Same! I've following the Starship program since the beginning with Starhopper.
This feels super advanced, Hats off to the SpaceX team!
That's because it absolutely is
It feels advanced because it is
They don't call it the most advanced rocket for nothing
You're watching the future of space travel unfold
Yeah ❤🎉
Hats of to whomever put this together!!! Some of the best 2.40 min EVER!!
I will never get tired of the view at 0:03 where you see the rolling vapor clouds covering the Texas landscape, and in the middle of it on its pedal stool is the largest most powerful rocket ever made. Its absolutely beautiful. The shockwaves racing across the land and out into the gulf of Mexico are absolutely stunning too. I REALLY wish SpaceX would stream on UA-cam again, or at the very least give us a 4k video feed on X!! :(
That moment were you start to see the fin moving through the broken glass is straight out of a movie.
According to Elon, it was literally hanging on by a thread. Those hinges certainly were made right!
yes a 1 star movie that I would stop watching and demand a refund

2:02 the little flap that could
Since when did everybody start using that name for that forward flap on Ship 29 that almost got incinerated and melted off!?!?!?!
@@GodzillaKing_1954 Since the little flap that could could
Oh my. The ending showing the arms - next-up a catch? Chills all over.
This feels surreal
2:21 Seeing them happy makes me happy.🙂
😊
We are simple monkeys
:)
Look at all of those proud white faces doing what our ancestors did the best, innovating.
You are easily pleased.
2:12 i hadn't noticed the rotation perpendicular to the hinges before. That flap really was on it's final breath.
I think that final extension during the landing burn (plus perhaps rotational as opposed to linear strain) might have overdone what remained of the hinge, it isn't present in this video but after it unfurls it jerks a couple times. Glad they didn't have to use full extension during descent or it could have well been twisted off!
@@xiphosura413 when it tipped over the flap looked like it snapped out of place / broke off. made it through re-entry though lol
1:47 The plasma burning makes the starship look like its going on warp speed!
I just love Jesse as a commentator. She's so passionate about her job. John Insprucker is my other favorite engineer gone commentator. Miss hearing his voice and enthusiasm on the "norminal" launches.
For me, John IS the voice of space launches at SpaceX.

Who brought the idea to catch a rocket ?🤔
It is just so psychedelic 😵💫
@@duran9664 People said the same about landing a rocket 10 years ago :)

@@VibinAvic geniuses' love psychedelics
Well done, folks... you put on a great show. Looking forward to the next one.
I have to admit that I believed it was over when I noticed the stabiliser fins' plasma burn-through. The achievement of it making it all the way back is very remarkable. The starship is a monster.
Most incredible launch… EVER!
Until the next one! ❤
@@Masterplumber81
Beat me to it!😂
It was what is was, But the most incredible launch is still the Saturn-5 with all three stages launched at once "as they tested it"
I'm still admiring the guys who had to figure out everything as they did it.
Yeah ❤🎉
@@stclairstclairBut this is bigger and more powerful and will ultimately make a Mars 🔴 base possible.
Anyone else get absolute goosebumps at the end?? 😅
Not just end the whole flight from liftoff😅
The whole video.
The music and editing is EPIC.
This is what happens when you never take no for an answer. No one expected starship to actually pull that landing until it pulled that landing.
I've watched this launch with my grandfather at the age of 96 years old. Amazing how he could understand it. He passed away yesterday. I was watching the launch footage on the hospital, begging for him to miraculously survive like the ship at reentry. Miss you vô.
That's tragic, hope your doing okay
My condolences. may he find peace among the stars.
The amazing things he's witnessed in his 96 trips around the sun.. I hope we can continue to make this world a better place. Condolences on your loss..
There's always one comment about a deceased loved one, fishing for likes
@@dmurray2978 I hope you have the opportunity to have an experience like this. Maybe you'll understand, Unsentimental son of a b*tch
If the booster catch is successful it'll be the biggest achievement in space flight since the first orbital booster was landed, Go SpaceX!
It'll probably be more amazing than the first time they did a double self landing.
“Falcons have landed” quote will become a myth once this gets real.
Heheh, I like how for flight 5 it fades out before it reaches the tower, as if to say "who knows what will happen"
Dropping this on Independence Day, what a W.
You want American muscle? You got it right here
Never get tired of watching Flight 4. The "little flap that could" was the star.
Science fiction coming to life. Just like I always dreamed and hoped it would.
I love the "Starship will return" vibe at the end :D
This is exactly the vibe haha
“Next time on starship”
that booster landing was EPIC!
That was more successful than anyone could have reasonably believed, in every single respect. 1- Literally everything did every single thing it was planned to do. 2- The heat shields failed the ship, but the ship proved the ability to take the astounding amount of damage 3- The damaged area, a mechanical section, continued to work regardless the entire way 4- The failure gave them the exact failure data they were looking for on this flight with more data than any engineer could ever hope for (they popped a couple tiles off the booster to see how it handles heat) 5- Those splashdowns are unbelievably rock-solid. 6- The world watched the whole thing live in HD inspiring so many people around the US.
I'm an engineer that works on parts that go on satellites and seeing the work they're doing to get these parts up there has me wanting to play my part in this incredible future more than ever. It gives me hope that I don't see too often. Maybe we can unfuck things.
I know X is your platform, but we all really miss the secondary audio channel and real-time visualization of the ground/orbit track. Please consider bringing that back!
Some of us miss when livestreams were performed on platforms actually designed for and capable of streaming them properly. sigh
What an amazing time to be alive, again.
Welcome back, lord.
You really do end up on various places on UA-cam
i met this 'jesus' at twitchcon like 10 yrs ago, he is kinda creepy ngl
Jesus, aren’t you busy with reading prayers or something?
please forgive my sins
The real MVP is the flap.
Incredible lift off! Only in the USA could this happen! Thank you!🇺🇸🇨🇦
love the control room reaction. They're as stunned as most of us were that it actually landed
Which is a little disconcerting in itself
@@momsterzzi dont think so. That flap burned through, and had its insides melted, idk anyone who thought it would survive that.
@@momsterzz How so? This is a brand new vehicle of massive proportions, attempting something that no one has ever tried before and the thing had half a wing burned on reentry. Why wouldn't they be stunned that their ship performed so well under those conditions?
@@momsterzz Not really. Anyone with common sense would have assumed the vehicle was too burned up at that point based on the flap.
You served the human spaceflight well Flap of Flight 4 🫡
SpaceX is genius for putting these videos out. So cool to see people be excited for the future and space exploration.
Dude in the Dog tshirt at the end, drenched armpits absolutely flabbergasted.
What an amazing time to be alive in human history. Test 5 is going to be absolute insanity.
This is out apollo
this is just rocket engines on a tube right? I didn't watch the whole thing, but looks like the same tech that was "lost" back in the 60s, and the same tech that the Chinese had thousands of years ago, aka shooting propellent at high speed out of a nozzle.. whoopideedoo
@@Turbo_Tastic Well it’s a bit more than that. Lol. It’s the largest object to ever fly. It’s going to be fully reusable. Both the starship and the booster will one day be able to come back and land, refuel, and then take off again. The booster will be CAUGHT in midair as it’s landing from 2 giants mech claws on the tower. That alone is absolutely insane to think about. And we get to watch all the development happen in realtime via the internet. (There’s 24/7 cameras at Starbase) It’s wild time to be alive indeed.
I understand if space science isn’t your thing. Than ya, it may not be interesting to you.
@@Schwing27 strawman. no science is my thing, modern science. all of what you describe is still just shooting particles out nozzles at high speed, the Chinese invented this thousands of year ago, and it won't be useful for interplanetary space travel, and it stall science that is needed to understand that gravity is actually a controllable force, there is an ether, and to not work on centrifugal propullsion is just stagnation of science. seems like you aren't interested in new science.
@@Turbo_Tastic Maybe you should commit more than 1 minute to some videos about since, then it might expand your basic understanding of rocketry and science.
Dude I got insane chills at the ending
Who brought the idea to catch a rocket ?🤔

@@duran9664It's actually so smart, having landing gear would increase the mass of the super heavy booster by a huge margin because that thing is not light, so you need strong landing gear, then of course the massive mechanism you would need to deploy the gear, and most importantly mechanizilla can then move the booster onto the launch pad in a couple of hours instead of days it would take by moving it in a regular crane, not even including gear possible being damaged by alot of raptor engines esentially blasting heat at it.
Science fiction has spoiled us into thinking that reentry into atmosphere is a child's play that can be solved with magic materials. This is a huge advance and we will possibly never get rid of the lose of material during reentry. The true genius comes in cheapening the process.
That transition from the go for launch call into ignition gives me goosebumps every time, it’s like a movie
The happy smiling faces in the control room are priceless! 😁
That shot from the top of the booster entering the clouds!
Best shot I've ever seen from one of these flights
