I have worked in the aerospace, space related field for 37 years. You learn the most from things going wrong, not going right.
Isn't that the same for all fields?
What can't you say about the Moon landing )
@@aswinsprabhu Not skydiving.
@@Spaceflightlover2010 Please, stay in learning modus!
95% of try is miss
SN9 died just like it was born... with a slight tilt
Lol
it had a disability lol
Hehehe
😂😂😂
Slight?
I said GENTLY! GENTLY!
Ur good... Keep coming.... Ur good... *explosion* .... ..... . .... Keep coming...
What
More power Scotty.
Nothing will ever go well now that CHINA JOE has his own GAS in his pocket. Weird how China has all their stuff looking suspiciously like Space x. NOT....biden for prison
That was unfortunate.
No worries, failure is all part of the process.
yep
A failure is the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and do better.

911: What's your emergency
Me: A rocket has just committed suicide
It wasn't suicide, it gave it's all in a brave attempt. It tried real hard to land, but that second engine just wouldn't start on landing.
Elon: SN10, you’re next!
SN10: No speaka da English
No hablo Inglés.

That last camera view looking up before the crash was amazing!
Yes it was. And it was evidence of the second engine failing its landing burn, thus very hard landing.
SN10: 911, I’ve witnessed a murder
Kek, more like a suicide...
@@KerouacsAccomplice Jesus lol
@@jakemckee1923 the technique is literally called a Suicide Slam. For a good reason.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM yeah lol. Although SpaceX has tried to stop using “suicide burn” or “suicide slam” and instead uses “hover slam.” Makes it seem a bit more possible lol
SN10: I've witnessed a murder and I think I'm next.
Elon : "SN10, your turn"
SN10 : "Imma head out"
I'll trust the people that land Falcons routinely almost once a week at this point over all of these Aeronautical Engineers in this comment section. An engine didn't ignite. This is similar to their struggles at first with the Falcon program and now look at that program, they can land a rocket coming out of low earth orbit on a tiny platform in the middle of the ocean.
I trust they'll figure it out
The sound of those engines though. Goosebumps. Sounds like Ken Block's WRX
Guy in control room: "whats this button for?"
You know what, maybe Earth isn't that bad after all
I'm still on the fence lol
They think going into another planet will save them
LoL Priceless
@@pixytorres7117 nah the aliens are inviting me to their birthday party but my rocket failed
They want to go to the other planet to survive well im on earth living
It looks like one engine spluttered and failed to start properly, meaning SN9 didn't have enough thrust to slow down, and didn't have enough engine gimbal to correct its attitude and rotation. If I had to guess based on the colour of the flame, it could have been a lack of oxidizer caused by low tank pressure or a plumbing error; SN8 also suffered low tank pressure which led to engine out on landing. We'll likely get official information soon once the Starship team have analysed the telemetry.
Probably didn’t switch to the header tank, after the crash you can see the header tank explode
@@jackwhitlock1 You might be right there. It looked like the engine might have been shooting out methane that was burning due to ambient oxygen. Not a rocket scientist myself though.
I noticed the same thing. At least there was no engine-rich combustion this time (far as I could see). Let's call it progress.
@@rubenvd3913 agree Ruben let's get this shit right next time.
@@rubenvd3913 Glad we didn't see those gnarly green flashes this time! Keep em to the Merlins.
SN10: *panicking noises*
SN10: Fuck this shit I'm out
Bet it’s pissing oxygen in fear.
Like fine wine
SN10 was lucky until after it landed.
i know that this is the way to succes but man i was screaming NOO when it crash landed
Feel you bro
Shit happens, its gonna happen tho. I have a feeling SN10 is gonna pull thru with all thruster coming on this time lol
Don't worry sn10 is gonna rock!
@@Dimmary as long as it has more than one rocket engine firing on landing it could work
6:22 The most epic camera angle in rocket landing history. It clearly shows the loss of an engine on landing.

mars aint the kind of place to raise a kid, if fact its cold as hell.
It was a perfect trajectory. It's just that The Earth got in its way.
bad, bad earth
Elon should visit UA-cam more often, so many rocket scientist in the comment section.
Sn10 : *Start to react like Sn9 did after Sn8 crash*
oh no...
It’s wasn’t a crash! It’s known as RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly)
My best wishes to the first dare devils going for a ride in one of this flying piñatas
Flying piñata 😆😆😆
That particular maneuver will never have a person on it. This is a booster recover technique they are trying. Less fuel intensive than landing them like they normally do. Makes it much cheaper (when they stop crashing lol)
@@mark2220 I believe you're mixed up, this is starship the part that goes to orbit on top of the booster. The booster is called super heavy and looks more like falcon9 but much bigger. This maneuver will be done with humans onboard someday. just well into the future when this maneuver has been very well optimized and proven to be reliable. The booster will land more like falcon 9 with griffins.
@@mark2220 man ypu have your things mixed up this will in the future take people this is the 2 stage, the boster is the first stage wich is still in construction
@@mark2220 they should dust off The footage of Neil Armstrong landing the LEM. You see back then men were men! We didn’t let things like rocket science or radiation stop us from going to the moon!
SN9 was cursed tbh. SN10 will stick it.
Sn9: Knock, knock.
Earth: Who's there?
Sn9: Boom!
Earth: Sigh... Elon again.
Mars: Don't look at me, sister.
Engineers: damnit we lost another 40 million dollar rocket
Elon: hehe explosion go brr
I mean elon is the one paying for it
Wow they actually landed it like that next to sn10 haha had some trust in those landing calculations
I’d didn’t crash, it was just a rapid unexpected disassembly
ok, copied.
I know, it was from another one of their videos. The crash compilation.
Three things I can watch over and over again:
1. Flame burning;
2. People working;
3. SpaceX rockets exploding.
theyve put SN10 there on purpose to be like: if you f up, this is whats gonna happen to you.
SN9: *panik*
xD
Never imagined this many rocket scientists together at one place, THIS COMMENT SECTION 😂
Many of you have either forgotten or didn’t know how many failures NASA had.
There is always going to be failure in such complexe machines, doesn't matter who makes them.
And maybe the Falcon Family?
Falcon 1 successes on the 4th attempt
Landing of the Falcon 9 successes on the 3rd attempt (and much more experimental landing on the ocean and after the ORBCOMM OG2-2; This one was considered the Droneship landing, the only attempt to recover the booster at the time; CRS-5 CRS-6. RIP CRS-7)
Landing of the Falcon Heavy centre core successes on the 2nd attempt
Sorry for my bad english
No, we didnt. We are here only because we know and its all ok.
Everyone should watch Smarter Every Day when he goes to the rocket manufacturing facility. The thinness of pressure container walls is ridiculous, like thinner than a penny.
@VideoFromSpace ty for the great videos! I always like, I have subscribed, and shared your videos to other people! Keep up on the great videos!
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
I have to say, the explosions do help with keeping the enthusiasm.
Success is to reach the goals. The goal to land the SN9 safely failed. It's ok to fail, but saying it's a a succes depends on whether the goals are met. Probably most goals were, but not the main one.
@@dismian7 How is learning what’s wrong with your rocket not a success? I mean there’s an obvious reason their making Starships so fast.
Ah sh** here we go again
Thanks God or whatever is on our side... hell yeah
Can the future astronauts get a refund
CJ train!!
Oh yeah yeah
The test was declared a "great success".
There's more that goes into a rocket then just the landing you know
SN8: *explodes*
SN9: *explodes*
SN10: I shouldn't have volunteered to do this.
Well he did say 'land and burn' , therefore an outstanding success!
Lmfao I can't unhear it
Lmao true
starship sn9 passed the vibe check
What an excellent test. Great job everyone.
SN10 just at there and watched all of this like "I scream but no one hears me"
Too bad they turned off the mics when SN9 was coming in for the landing.
mic was destroyed.
Sn8 did better than sn9
@@qwertyeet SN8 at least started to slow down. SN9 smashed in free fall.
@@Tephodon sn9 just gave up at the end

It did what it was supposed to do; most of it worked, and a problem was identified. It flew beautifully right back to the launch site, with the aero surfaces doing their job really well. Only one engine ignited for the flip and landing, the second didn't restart. It flipped to vertical, but then kept going nosing over. WIth only one engine there wasn't enough thrust to make a controlled landing. They will get there, one flight at a time.
When the 2nd engine lit, it crashed into the 1st engine hard and that is what causes it to shut down. Also after the shutdown, the 1st engine locked in a slanted position and that is what caused sn9 to tip back over.
It looks like the 2nd engine did not restart. It appeared to try, then failed. Just heartbreaking.
Yeah, that's what it looks like to me.
@@sarcasmo57 they had 3 engines if they only needed 2 to land and one wouldn't start why did the not have failure detection to tell the engine failed and go to the remaining engine?
@@EBFISCHADLER Really good point.
@@EBFISCHADLER Probably the software is still in development
@@EBFISCHADLER probably beacause it was already too late
Well the concept works, the belly flop works they just need to find a way to get the landing right. This was the second try. They'll get there.
It's not the fall that hurts, it's the landing.
No shit.
They need to figure out the relight properly
It seems like an engine didn't work
@@carlosnoriega7296 yeah, thats it. Next time.
Perfect Landing !!
Very good! Keep up the great work
On the upside, SN9 is a very accurate ballistic missile. 🤷🏽♂️

Failure gives you more opportunities to learn than success. This is part of the process and failure makes you better. Keep at it SpaceX. We believe in you and your process.
this manouvre looks like a nightmare, Ican not imagine people inside going through this...
This is the flip manouver for Mars, it'll be easier since Mars has a thinner atmosphere and Starship will be larger than these prototypes
@O R the maneuver is likely to be extreme on different bodies as there is simply less deacceleration and less total speed, meaning there is much more time to maneuver the vehicle. I think the move is intended for Earth and reentry, but I doubt it will go so far as to exceed human G limits. Its safer for vehicle and crew to stay within 5 to 10 Gs for short maneuvers, which is uncomfortable but totally within the ranges for short exposure and space travel.
@@fedora997 It might have some different design elements but the overall size will be the same.
SpaceX engineer John Insprucker: 'We’ve just gotta work on that landing a little bit'
It looks like the rocket hit the ground at about 60 - 80 miles an hour. I'm sure the rocket's structure couldn't take more than a couple miles an hour without being catastrophic. Seems like they've got a lot of work to do on the landing.
Still very impressive!
Its fairly easy fix they just have to reorient the rocket abit earlier than before. Look at the video it wasnt even fully upright when it landed
Commercial flight cost:
Takeoff: $2.5 million
Return flight: Free
That rumbling sound gives me goosebumps
Another happy landing
Maybe they should land it into a big fireproof net or bounce house.
M not even disappointed coz I know they won't stop until they succeed.
God Speed
death and murder is your game?
When I heard the crash I was expecting to hear "MEEP MEEP !!!! " and to see Wile E. Coyote walk out of the flames, all fried an crunchy, with a defeated look on his face.
What a lucky time to be alive friends. We have been witnessing history.
If you don't fail, you're not trying.
but if it's not usa it will be said to be negative right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hypocrisy.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jesussonofgod6284Dude, what makes you say that?
Awesome camera work .
another happy landing
PIVOT! PIIIIIVOOOT!
Armchair scientist here: I would like to have seen the situation where SN8 & 9 would have turned vertical maybe a minute sooner and started the engines at that point, giving more time to right itself, apply the right thrust etc. so as not to crash. (I did warn you "Armchair scientist here" :-)
THIS. You don't suicide burn with crew on board. SN-8 could have been saved if they had fired the Raptors 5 seconds earlier. Plus by firing too late, they are not allowing the gimbaling to zero out. Instead engine #2 fired towards engine #1 and killed it due to "frantic gimbaling"
@@lextacy2008 Hey dude, thanks for that. FYI, well over 80% of the sentiment of my comment was meant to be in the vein of being cheeky/sarcastic and have a bit of fun. Definitely appreciate your comment though.
@@voicetube Thank you buddy! I try where I can :P
@@lextacy2008 :=)
Elon: SN10, you're up next
SN10: 😰
The first engine relit with a hard start because of the fuel flowing for to long and that fractured the thrust puck relating in the second engine to shut down and when the flip accrued a part of the thrust puck fell out releasing LOX into the engine bay and igniting in a bright flare and a lack of gimble counteraction.
I'm guessing you're somewhat of a rocket scientist
SN10: "I'm outta here."
I'm actually not disappointed when I see a failed landing from the Starships. I would love to see a successful one but I know that before we know it, we'll be going to mars and descending to earth in this exact way, except for the explosion part.
In the final version the roof opens up like a stadium and each seat will have an ejection mechanism triggered prior to landing so don't worry
Perfect Landing let's see it again with the other one
CNN: ''A fiery but peaceful test-flight''
That's ok. We have plenty of tin cans available. Get the next one ready!
This was beautiful
Hey, what happened to flipping it vertical? Forgot?
The engine fail again they need to comeup with failproof configuration. The landing really too dependant the two engine reigniting properly they need a redundant plan, hoping the SN10 can resolve the issue from SN 8 AND 9
It looked as if the landing burn began too late and as a result it failed to do anything that could've allowed it to land properly.
I think they need to begin the landing burn 1-2 km early so as to sufficiently slow the vehicle down and also to bring it into the vertical position to land.
There's no foolproof cofiguration in selectd landing mode - if anything happens scant seconds before touchdown, no matter how advanced control mechanism, no efector will be able to respond, much less inflict another change.
@@hemiacetal1331 they can’t start it early or else it will run out of fuel, like SN-8. What happened here is that an engine didn’t fire. When the landing happened, they needed two engines to fire to stabilize it. Only one fired.
@@jakemckee1923 I wonder if they could use the other engines as a backup.
They can always adjust to a safer landing sequence when there are people on board. I'd rather have them nail this precise landing first and then add a few km's for safety.
"Look, it's not a crash, it's a rapid unscheduled disassembly"!... now, where have I heard those words before...? ;)
so what was that excess yellow fire coming from the nozzle assembly ?
May I ask, why not to let it land horizontally ? after it tilts and becomes bottom down, mini engines can be installed all over the buttom body and they can minimize the speed till it lands normally, forgive my ignorance lol.
It didn’t explode, it just merely had a Rapid Unscheduled Disassemble
The first crew to launch on this ship will need to say Shepherd's prayer. Alan Shepherd who, on the first U.S. manned shot, uttered the prayer "Oh, God. Please don't let me fuck up."
Except that it's all controlled by the flight computer, so it's more like "Oh, God. Please don't let the engineers fuck up."
Lmao yeah it’s sure that you can’t ask for Yuri Gagarin prayer, as he said himself :
"When I was up there, I looked over and over again, but I didn’t saw any God"
It looks so surreal
5 solid minutes of flight... That's a test to the endurance of the engines.
Everyone freaked out last time so they had to specifically say that everything that happened was planned in this one, haha.
The most exciting part was when it was about to crash it looks like a movie See It Coming Down
What a sound during liftoff :-o

Elon will have this problem fixed in a matter of time....just because it didn't succeed all the way doesn't mean it was a failure ❤ MUCH LOVE ELON
The landing was a failure. 😅
@@47DAF you always have to fail to succeed
damn that decibels... 👂🏻🗯️
Can you notice an slight miscalculation on the flaps angles as it turns vertical to land n a rocket fault?
When you're about to clear a level but get distracted by sweaty fingers on the controller.
I think they have to flip and burn the engines early before touching the ground
Well done Einstein
All they need is to put buzz Aldrin in there. He could just unbuckle, look out the window and correct out of a death spin manually like a year 2050 super computer and land on the moon without a landing pad and then get out walk around and get back in and blast off again to meet up with another vehicle orbiting the moon faster than a bullet and then come back to Earth in the 1860s.
All they need is buzz

At least I'm givin a reasonable idea better than you who are sniffing around to troll ppl
Great landing, At least it landed where it took off without destroying the other...
KA-BOOOOOM! Awesome explosion!
I’m not a rocket scientist , but I think maybe they need to rethink their altitude for the flip to vertical.. both failures seem like they are too late and too much momentum for the engines to slow down in the given altitude
uhhhhh. Nah it’s good. It’s perfect timing if the engines ignite good and actually work
The thing is that starship lands with 2 engines which sn8 did but both engines lost thrust near the end leading to an explosion. Sn9 had one engine relit which caused it to be off balanced leading it to tilt and exploded
Dun dun dun, another one bites the dust

Anybody looking into fuel slosh? That tail whip renderers might set the fule in motion that's really hard to dampen. YOu might need to put extra baffles in the fuel tanks to stop this. Either that, or give more time to allow the ship to straighten out.
Death by landing - I'll pass.
