This is not an animation. I watched it live. "Can't tell if this is a joke or not so just gonna assume you just don't know. Hope I'm not having a r/woosh moment."
I was there live. You have to remember, this video is about 6 miles away.... so the Boom Boom you hear at 7:27 is actually the sound of the rockets reigniting (what you see at 7:07) it just took about 20 seconds for the sound to reach us because it is so far away.
What a great prespective. Zero percent animaltion. 100% reality . there was no other video that i could find which was start to finish shot from a single location. beautiful. THank you Rayan for sharing.
Yeah, seeing it from this perspective really emphasizes how hot and fast it comes down. The zoomed in shots don't do it justice when you have no frame of reference for the speed.
Back in the 90's I attended a NASCAR race at Watkin's Glen. The sound of all of those massively powerful V8's firing up at the same time made me truly emotional. But the crackle of those 33 Raptors do the same for me even if it is only on video. I cannot imagine what it would be like to experience that in person, maybe some day. Massive congrats to SpaceX for this tremendous achievement, I saw the Moon Landing live when I was a kid, and this one is the most impressive space feat that I have seen since that magic time. And THANKS Ryan for your amazing content (now I know who "Jax" is on the CSI content and why he seems to be a subject matter expert). Cheers from Canada.
Saw your forecast a view days ago. Was very acurate. What you forget to tell us was, how fast this will be done and over. The whole cath was not even 5 seconds. Did not expected it to be that seamless and straight forward. Had to watch it on .25 time serveral times to really grasp what happened.
I watched a Japanese livestream of this and there were a lot of live comments saying exactly that. They also refer to Starship itself as a grilled squid when it's reentering.
Catching the booster which was coming in like a bat out of hell has to be of the most gobsmacking things I have ever seen. If they can replicate this reliably then we are really at the races.
Your analysis and renders were spot on. There's a view from the tower of SH settling onto the arms and I completely understood what was happening. Because of this an unexplained miracle became an explained miracle.
Kickass footage! My grandfather drove in from AZ to meet me for the launch. He had no idea they were going to catch it! Your breakdown video got him up to speed. Outstanding work.
The largest and most powerful rocket stage ever made plucked out of the air like it was a feather. I genuinely had to pinch myself when it happened because they absolutely nailed it on the first try.
loved that u kept the camera rolling for a while after catch. it let me soak in the moment a bit more, like i was there. can't imagine experiencing this live. good stuff ryan, and keep up the great animations!
serious photography question; why didn't you just set the focus to infinity so there's no AF BS? Is that not an option with these sorts of telescopic lenses? Like it would be out of focus? my only experience is with smaller lenses
Always amazing to see this huge rocket take off. It must be vvery impressive to see this in person. Regarding the video, set the focus to manual. Because the background (sky) has no contrast, it hunts to stay in focus.
F ing WOW! EPIC SHOOTING THERE! That was absolutely insane. I preferred this to Space X's live stream made the hairs stand up on my arms plugged in my sub and watched again. BOOM BOOOM! Well done perfect UA-cam video 💯❤
i think the double sonic boom is a great symbolization of the achievement here when compared to falcon 9. falcon has a triple sonic boom, one from the engine section, one from the landing legs, and one from the gridfins. that double boom without the landing legs symbolizes progress in my mind
It hits that lower atmosphere like a brick wall, and affirms the use of stainless steel as those are some serious pressures and forces acting on the booster. Not sure if a carbon fiber build would hold up so well.
You could see the engine section glowing before the landing burn starts. That’s not from the boostback; That’s the atmosphere slamming the brakes on this leviathan punching through
Thanks to the time of launch, we could see Super Heavy throughout the entire flight, even at almost 60 miles up. I hadn't expected (though I should have) that I would need to crank my head back and look straight up for a few minutes.
Amazing Ryan. Thank You!!! What camera??? Autofocus should not be used I think under theses circumstances. It is OK to find the thing with it but after that go manual. If you don't zoom much focus should be OK for the entire descent...
Catching a 20 story rocket booster with a 40 story tower. Who in their crazy minds would think of doing that? And pulling it off? SpaceX. The answer is SpaceX.
7:27 "BOOM BOOM" as a fucking skyscraper gets caught by a 150m robot is the most epic shit i've ever seen
Right?!?!? I’ve watched this launch & catch seemingly countless times now, and every time come away gobsmacked.
@@jeffk1482 i can't stop watching it's just unreal
Like the world announcing the nxt stage in human space flight with a drum
Me too, heart thumping still and every time
Like someone else said in another video: look! A building catching another building in the air!
No commentary, no music, just like being there. Thank you.
Great animation as always Ryan! Cannot wait for Flight 5 in November😉 /s
This is not an animation. I watched it live. "Can't tell if this is a joke or not so just gonna assume you just don't know. Hope I'm not having a r/woosh moment."
You meant flight 6, yes? It could even happen sooner, for they already have the liscense.
@@dglm1966 I think it is a compliment to Ryan about his amazing animation. He even made a wink emoji at the end.
I think they missed the launch yesterday lol
@@dglm1966 retards everywhere.

This is firmly on my bucket list of things to see in person. Just an incredible feat of engineering of all kinds!!
In 2 years there is probably a start every 2 days. So it will be much easier to catch
Agreed
Enjoyed the little "come onnnnn" when you had trouble getting the focus right :D That must have been a great day.
Focus can and must be set fixed to infinity. Just a camera setting, easy.

Def planning a trip with my son!
Perfect timing for the sound travelled right at the moment when the booster landed, like celebrating with fireworks 🎉
This footage just made it real for me, all the beefed up 4k footage makes it seem unreal. This brings it back to the layman 😅
All 4K out of focus.
Nice ....
This is 4K footage.

I have to say that this made this grown man cry.
booster was looking like someone dropped a cigarette from the sky
The Dan Aykroyd cigarette moment in Ghost Busters springs to mind 😅
I watched a Japanese livestream of this and there were a lot of live comments saying exactly that. They also refer to Starship itself as a grilled squid when it's reentering.
Very accurate modelling of excited onlookers
Haha!
These clackers were recorded separately in the pavilion.
Launch to CATCH in it's entirety ... Well done. Thank you
The landing rails don't even compress until after engine shutdown. The vertical accuracy was perfection, amongst other perfection.
When the sonic boom hits, you can see the grass in the lower left move
Like I needed another excuse to watch the booster catch for the 30th time 😂. Cool observation, thanks!
Awesome video Ryan. The atmosphere of the crowd is amazing.

This masterfully demonstrates the beauty of the human spirit and human ingenuity. Truly incredible.

Great shot! I can watch this over and over again 😊
Are you into Chris Hanson?

I can see my bald head in the crowd at the bottom right corner of the screen at the end. Thanks for the video that was an amazing day.
HISTORICAL !!! Beautiful !!
8:07 a rather faint sonic boom of the hotstagering
That’s wild!
Amazing stuff, hope I can catch a launch like that once in my life 🤩
those sonic booms in that dramatic moment of the catch 😵💫 amazing shots, and audio hits. felt like i was there
One of the best videos wow, had tears in my eyes!!!
I could watch it 100 x but I still cant believe it!
Thank you for all the hard work in making these excellent videos.
I like the calm, "They did it... They did it..." 😅👌 Awesome footage! SpaceX to the 🌙
Watched live. Amazing flight. Booster catch was sick!
Manual focus ftw.
Great video Ryan, watched again this morning and thought... "I should watch the every morning" so inspiring, thanks!!
Thanks for posting this, ignore the hater.
The biggest & best firework display I’ve ever seen. Well done SpaceX 👍
I could watch this a thousand times.
Great capture of the event! Love the ambient audio! This is history!
And totally smooth like your fascinating animations :-)
loved that u kept the camera rolling for a while after catch. it let me soak in the moment a bit more, like i was there. can't imagine experiencing this live. good stuff ryan, and keep up the great animations!
At this level of engineering precision, it’s a magic!
Remember, that booster is 23-story high, 232 feet!
Truly something else!! Even now, I still can't believe they did it!! Well done Ryan 👏 🙂
The animations were awesome, but the real was so much more aggressive, loud and smokey. That blew me away.
It’s real! I witnessed it live on UA-cam
Simply amazing footage. Thank you Ryan.
Fantastic track! Great reactions and audio in the back too!
Saw you guys set up with your tracking cameras, I thought of saying hi but I didn't want to interrupt this insane footage you caputred! Great work!
Just think in the future this will be almost an everyday event! Crazy!
It was amazing and the first time in the world ....terrific work Space X....👏👏👏👏
Fantastic view, I am jealous!

Best view Ryan, thank you, thank you, i❤it…!😊
Thank you Ryan. I think you can ditch the auto focus next time. Great to catch the crowds reactions. Greetings from the Uk.
Nice work. I love the long view, really gives perspective to the whole event.
Amazing footage, thanks for doing this!
Great capture. Puts the icing on the cake for you. Thanks
F ing WOW! EPIC SHOOTING THERE! That was absolutely insane. I preferred this to Space X's live stream made the hairs stand up on my arms plugged in my sub and watched again. BOOM BOOOM! Well done perfect UA-cam video 💯❤
Thank the spectacular weather. Great work Ryan!
This is a demonstration of when they tell kids "you can do anything that you put your mind to"
Just amazing 👏
Excellent catch! Darn autofocus. Thank you for catching the moment.👍🏼
i think the double sonic boom is a great symbolization of the achievement here when compared to falcon 9. falcon has a triple sonic boom, one from the engine section, one from the landing legs, and one from the gridfins. that double boom without the landing legs symbolizes progress in my mind
I hear a triple boom, like in the falcon 9, but this one does not have legs...so maybe engines, engine bay and grid fins?
I'm looking forward to your next excellent video featuring Tower B and its Launch Mount.
Excellent shot !! Well done !!
I knew the booster was coming in hot, but while watching, 40km to 1km felt like 2 seconds
It hits that lower atmosphere like a brick wall, and affirms the use of stainless steel as those are some serious pressures and forces acting on the booster. Not sure if a carbon fiber build would hold up so well.

@@Zacharysharkhazardcarbon fibre would have turned into a paste
You nailed it, Ryan! The perfect animation... real life!
the sonic booms arriving as the tower catches the booster x yeeeeeaaaah x
Thanks for uploading this perspective, fantastic!
Amazing footage!!!!! Keep it up 🙂
Thank you truly for these amazing videos
Wonderful!!! Thanks a lot.
Epic camera work. Amazes me how late the engine is fired to land.
Insane footage. How do you feel your animation has come to life?
Excellent video and tracking.
Thank you ❤
Might consider disabling autofocusing next time.
I want to see that booster launch again. :-)
My God that thing came in fast!!!
I love your work!
We’re seeing history but witnessing the future
Our Kodak had that same problem with focusing on the tower from our vantage point at Isla Blanca Park.
Thank you for sharing the awesome vid. Subbed.
So the "cloud" the booster went through on its way down was its own contrail from the launch. I think I hear the voices of future SpaceX engineers.
Thank you. Amazing.
Ryan you do so much for us
Epic!!! Thanks for sharing.
Great footage 🫡
I love the nature background. :)
Thanks to the time of launch, we could see Super Heavy throughout the entire flight, even at almost 60 miles up. I hadn't expected (though I should have) that I would need to crank my head back and look straight up for a few minutes.
Nice! Great capture!
"Put the fire out Mr.Cooper."

Birds at the end are like "Mama!"
Well captured Ryan. 👏🍻
stunning. Great capture
It SURELY is an interesting time to be alive.

SpaceX. The answer is SpaceX.
Bro was able to put out an animation of the catch and watch it happen irl in the span of a few days lol
That was EPIC!
