To be fair, we knew Starship was robust after IFT-1 flipped and rolled out of control, and then the FTS *failed to terminate the rocket.* That said, seeing that plasma build up against Starship's hull as it tumbled wildly through the upper atmosphere was incredible. Seeing this thing work on a successful flight is going to be a sight to behold. What a spectacle of modern engineering.
@@Cleptro The question is what happened at stage separation for it to tumble. It looked initially like the fuel was sloshing end to end as if there were no baffles in the fuel tanks, and then it went inverted following the fuel transfer to the nose tank... #JustAnObservation
My two cents is that a vent or thruster was stuck open, rolling the Starship constantly during its coast phase. It used other thrusters to counter, but those obviously exhausted themselves in due course. So come the moment of entry interface, Starship was left rolling with no way to stabilise into reentry attitude. The flaps did their best but it was never going to be enough, not to mention with the fuel tanks completely drained, the trim was probably way outside the control limits the flaps were designed for.@DudsMotorShop
@jebes909090 Challenger and Columbia, also they had to replace tiles and look for any and all microcracks and repair them which is why the shuttle hardly launched more than once or twice a year.
Pay load door had failed open, TLS tiles where flying off in chunks, ship was in "rotisserie" mode. would have been nice to see that from another POV than the SpaceX flap mounted camera.
So it effectively was not stabilized prior to entering the atmosphere, and was never able to maintain constant contact between the atmosphere and the heat tiles, causing structural damage and subsequent vehicle failure?
Nope lack of stabilization caused it to dive down instead of gliding in atmosphere so when it hit thick 65km atmosphere at that speed it got destroyed thx to the speed
1:01 this is incorrect. starship is side on at this point. only half the heat shield were protecting it, the other half was pure stainless steel. starship was out of control and tumbling.
It started out that way, but you can see shortly before the plasma blocks the view of the Earth that it is turning into the stream. It stabilizes, if only for a few moments!
Agree. Showing the close up is dramatic, but doesn’t help when you’re trying to understand how the ship was rotating through the reentry. Still the best representation I have seen so far, so thanks for making this!

The orientation algorithms and actuators have to be re-designed based on collected datas.....May be 3 to 4 months to implement the modifications for starship IFT4
While watching the live feed and seen Starship roll to Starboard,( :45 sec mark), she was toast, to bad there wasn't a camera on the other forward flap, that would of been a sight to see, we all saw Columbia disintegrated from the ground, but watching as it happened to starship from starship would of been monumental.
Nope the problem was the spin the heat shield should be powerful enough to stop the plasma but the other side not so much, is impossible to successfully re-enter while the ship is spinning like a bay blade even if it was going slower
O escudo de calor aguentou muito hein? Sem falar que o Starship em certas condições é bem resistente, exemplo disso é que no primeiro teste, que o Starship rodou, rodou e rodou, não se desintegrou mas foi destruído
So it didn't naturally assume the reentry position from its aerodynamics and continued to tumble so that lead to heating in unprotected areas and loss of the ship. So SpaceX is going to have to put attitude control thrusters in place or maybe reaction control flywheels although they'd be heavy and cause payload reduction.
Yep, like a turkey over the fence. Upside down and backwards with feathers going everywhere. LOL All jokes aside, What it does show is that attitude control was lost somewhere shortly after MECO and like any unguided ballistic object, it is heavy end first as atmospheric drag builds up. Oh and that is a domestic turkey, not a wild one. Wild turkeys do know how to fly. Domestics on the other hand.... WKRP......
Is it accurate? How did you make it? A "normal" fluid simulation, like FLIP, realflow, etc? Open FOAM? PS: I wish we could have seen the complete reentry, plus landing. I mean, technically, I don't even know if this thing "landed", I just find the short videos or things that suppose we follow this in detail all the time.
They probably should have used maneuvering rockets to keep the heat shield tiles facing in the right direction until the wing surfaces could take control.
Glad to be alive to witness this historic and groundbreaking event. It takes perseverance to get to somewhere. Elon Musk & Co. just doing that. Keep on doing the research and development. 🙏👍👍
The best method for re-entry would be to use a massive parachute/s. There is a very narrow window of time at the beginning of re entry when a parachute could be successfully deployed. The ship should flip first then deploy from the nosecone so the ship would come down engines first. Every engine would serve as a maximum efficient, miniature parachute. This would eliminate the need for the flaps and the thermal tiles. It would also eliminate the need for the dreaded flip maneuver before touchdown.
@@evanmorris1178 They work wherever there is air pressure. There is almost no air pressure at the beginning of re entry. There is no question that a parachute can be successfully deployed. It would have to be large enough to maintain a steady pressure. Parachutes have been successfully used on heavier vehicles such as the XB-70 and TU-160
@@shawns0762 The weight of the vehicle was not the issue. It’s the speed. You cannot deploy a chute at 26,000 kph. You are positing that one could slow down from that velocity, 200 km above earth with a parachute. It just doesn’t work that way. Nothing would be strong enough to take the shock. You are literally dumping all the energy added to the starship getting in to orbit, into the chute in a short period of time. There isn’t enough air pressure at that altitude to open it in the first place, but if you could get it open and keep it that way long enough for it to somehow get into enough atmosphere for it to even start slowing the Starship down, it would just tear off, possibly tearing the hull in the process. That’s a lot of force! There is no “narrow window of time” when that would work.

They just need to work on getting the positioning correct for re-entry I think they're going to be successful and recover the vehicle in the next flight
I don't understand one thing, the fully fueled carrier and the ship got it to about 200 km high orbit, no more fuel was available. It flew without cargo. Something doesn't feel right.
There was more fuel available they cut the engines if not it will make it to orbit, they didn’t relight the engines cause the vehicle was out of control
@@mareksarvas1102they didn’t want an uncontrolled starship going into orbit nobody wants such a massive object up there also there will be orbital refuelling so it seems fine
re-entry wont be a difficult problem to solve as there is not a lot of energy required to decelerate it because at this point it put the payload already into orbit and burned up most of its fuel so its not so heavy anymore and not much fuel is needed to slow it down to reduce the heat it will have to endure. fun fact: people sometimes falsely say that the heat is caused by "friction" which is actually not true, the main reason for the heat is the air compression EDIT - when i said "wont be difficult problem to solve" i am talking relative to the other problems in rocket science, of course pretty much everything within rocket science is a difficult problem for the human brains to solve
Ship was tumbling uncontrollably making an engine relight a dangerous operation. Plus trying to slow down at that velocity would take way too much fuel which could be saved by using the atmosphere as a break
Because you don’t have unlimited delta-v (delta = change, v = velocity). Delta-v is essentially how much a rocket can change its velocity, and you only have so much fuel, and it would take just as much delta-v to slow down as it took to get into orbit, and that’s just not practical. The main problem on this flight is that there reaction control system clearly wasn’t working properly, so the ship didn’t enter in a stable orientation, and the flaps just don’t have enough atmosphere that high up to correct for that.
Yes. Consider how much fuel was consumed to gain the potential energy of orbital altitude and kinetic energy of 27,000 KPH. You would need a good portion of that fuel left over to return to a zero energy state by retrofire. And then you would have required far more fuel on takeoff to lift the retro-fuel into orbit. @@PaulJR-hp2qm
