I too was yelling a lot of expletives in those last couple minutes. 😅 Pure insanity.

[@ThrustersX]

aren't we all 🤣

[@Jack-The-Gamer-]

The fact that the flap was not only still there, but STILL FUNCTIONAL is insane! Starship is the one. We are going back to moon and mars. We will finally live the fantasy dreamed up during the space race, colonies and stations throughout the solar system. Imagine seeing the dawn of the space age in your lifetime!

[@ThrustersX]

We live in the right generation

[@KwispySpace]

I legit thought the ship was done for once the burn through the flip started to happen 🤣

[@Nuke-MarsX]

yeah starship will bring us to the moon and mars thats for sure its just a question of when

[@Jack-The-Gamer-]

@@Nuke-MarsX yeah, unfortunately the when is all politics. Maybe if congress can ever figure out SLS is a flop, they’ll finally start pouring resources into actual meaningful endeavors.

[@hupekyser]

been waiting for this. your reactions to these flight tests are the best on youtube. massively likable.

[@gutluckbro9802]

For sure been watching his reactions since sn8

[@CommonDaeze]

I agree love this channel

[@seitzfamily070]

OMG can't agree more

[@vanmarciano]

If only all the young kids of today was as excited and inspired as this dude...

[@helopilotr]

A lot of us are!

[@Ionut-bg6vw]

I am

[@sebifarcas7611]

Me too

[@genshineditsjoon]

i was too!

Ship 29 Flap: I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL

[@wyattb3138]

Ship 29 Flap: I lived bitch

[@agentkerbal9840]

i actually broke my voice from screaming when i watched super heavy splashdown

[@Rayne113]

They turn the Grid Fins slightly before the hot staging to use the exhaust of the ship to help the booster flip.

[@Asterra2]

Lots of folks noting that Booster's landing burn started late. I think what's being forgotten is that they had an engine out during launch. While Starship can still launch with a few engines missing, you can bet it still changes the timings of the flight plan.

[@qwerty112311]

Yup. Still got up to the same speed for stage separation, but it took a bit longer. I wonder if/how that affected the landing location.

[@UncensoredCowboy]

Also changes weight. They plan on that fuel being burned off and we are talking about a lot of fuel. Both takeoff and the landing. You had 1/33 worth of the take off fuel and 1/16 of the landing.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

It landed perfectly.. have you seen the video?

[@Asterra2]

@@Bryan-Hensley I think you missed the context. All of the flight plan milestones had predefined timings. The folks who reacted, including in this video, knew these timings and were waiting on them. Some of them, including in this video, grew alarmed when the expected milestones ended up arriving late. The one pertinent to my original observation is the timing of Booster's landing burn.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

@@Asterra2 that's not a problem. I don't know why you think it is. Did you not watch the video, the computers did fine adjusting to the differences, one engine out just causes the other engines to throttle up higher or run a little longer. Heck starship landed almost perfectly with parts of the flaps missing. This is self adjusting driving technology carried over from Tesla. The computer can "change its mind"..

[@SeraphArmaros]

I was so excited during the test, yelling at the screen, you'd swear I was watching my home team score a winning goal.

[@dylanm.3692]

Well, as far as spaceflight is concerned, you were! :D

[@GabroPlayz]

The little flap that could. Love your reaction!

[@Spacexsfs825]

Bro you also watch this video i always watch he’s reaction

[@GabroPlayz]

@@Spacexsfs825Yeah same here Fancy seeing you here as well lol

[@Sundablakr]

The hotstage jettison was also probably to increase stability as that is 10 tons of solid steel moving the center of mass much higher on the vehicle. Bad for aerodynamic stability all my fellow KSP nerds know.

[@gregsteele806]

Yeah, they even say in the commentary that the Hot Staging Ring was an ad hoc addition that will be built into the Block 2 boosters. Not a separate piece.

[@sujith9273]

Also to reduce mass.. Since they need more propellent to land... In next verisons the tanks will be big.. So they don't need to jettison hot stage

[@gigachad2018]

probably also because original heavy booster was designed to land with no hotstage ring like ift1 design so gettinb=g rid of it made the heavy booster revert to original weight and com

[@seitzfamily070]

I mean these are all true, but just watch CSI Starbase's video on it

[@ChimkenRiceNuggy]

I can't wait for flight 5! This progress is brilliant!

[@malikovajana]

That lil hero flap will be forever in my heart

[@cosmicphoto05]

It's a real testament to the software engineering that Ship was able to fight for survival all the way down to the soft landing, even with the flaps burning through.

[@OMaMaRMY]

Count Dooku: "I've been looking forward to this"

[@DeathDefiant]

[@TheBowersj]

I hope to see you next flight, thanks for joining the show

[@biosdilt1399]

I saw this video thumbnail and I'm actually super excited to see your reaction, you are a real nerd and you know what you're talking about, it's amazing to see!

[@gregsteele806]

No Blue skies, sadly. It was night where the landing took place.

[@konkam744]

I watched the entire thing live, after almost two months I saw this, I stuck to it, god such a good feeling to know what happened while you make predictions. Right before landing burn startup on the ship I paused, closed my bedroom's door while saying: "Just in case your scream echoes through the house"

[@viarnay]

The Space X ginger guy at the end was speecheless and in shock..unbelievable demostration of power Mr. Musk...

[@PedroSilva-ic8ql]

I was exactly like you! Just gagged and saying shut the front door cause that was amazing

[@billholder1330]

That'll do, li'l flap, that'll do. Hard Fought. Much Respect. Salute!

[@huehuehue7308]

shit made me cry,and im grown

[@cristianshay227]

Always lookign forward to your reactions on Starship flights as I don't have any nerds like us to share the experience with, cant wait for the booster catch! Also you were not able to see blue skies as it landed in the night side of earth. Cheers!

[@sebifarcas7611]

I have been waiting for your reaction

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Elon Musk just built the foundation for the USS Starship Enterprise. I also think he's from the future.

[@vauhner81]

Its really amazing to see how slow Starship falls those last 20km. Floating along casually.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Flying somewhat like a plane

[@johnpooky84]

At T+ 54 minutes, and 4 seconds, if you start playing Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero", and mute the SpaceX audio, the results are EPIC!

[@TheBestOfSweden]

Love your reactions to these flights!

[@chyldstudios]

yes fucking way!

[@petermoss4666]

HSR is Jettisoned because it was an addon not baked into the design of SH. So the Extra 10 Tons of the HSR eats into the Landing margin of the original design that didn't have to contend with an extra 10 tons of booster dry mass. Next Integration of SH "Booster V2" will be optimized for more landing margin "Larger Landing Tanks and stretched booster tanks" and having the HSR Fully integrated into the Design.

[@xxtoptankxx6873]

100%

[@tonyallen4265]

Great reaction! You are very expressive which is very entertaining. I think you should go ahead and be a YT reactor to music and movies. I definitely would watch.

[@SofieBrink]

My god i swear i remember watching you reacting to the sn flights years ago

[@dimetime35c]

All i could think of when i saw the re-entry and the flap coming apart was that must have been what Columbia must have looked like as she began to break apart on her final re-entry. I just wish that the shuttle had been as durable as starship was. I often wonder if the roll program had been different and the vehicle had rolled to that side less if the wing could have held together.

[@ceogauravjoshi1742]

Your reactions is gold mine 😊❤

[@EvanPang-w4i]

That was such a HUGE success! Go spacex!

[@Krell666]

Love your commentary!

[@joeybestestbest5141]

I love your reactions so much!

[@TheOptimuspringles]

my reaction exactly! XD Absolutely insane that it worked. The little flap that could!

[@BE_FRFR]

Finally this video is out !!! Best reactions ever just because the guy enjoy it so much

[@billholder1330]

"Booster Boost-Back Burn!"

[@gregsteele806]

6:50 Hey, look at that curvature. ;)

[@aerostorm_]

4:27 The clogging was due to methane ice. The autogenous repressurization system feeds some methane back into the LOX tank and that can form ice due to the LOX being much colder. The internals of the LOX tank now looks more like a colander to filter some ice from getting to the inlets. 5:43 Gridfins align to allow part of the gasses from the ships exhaust to impact the fin and help the booster push away and flip over once separated. They have done this for every hot stage, but that was the clearest view we got of that action so far.

[@alanreader4815]

This is also the future o f train's. getting excited now.

[@johnpooky84]

This reminds me of RandomEd787's reaction video to the announcement of MS Flight Sim, back at E3 2019.

[@SpaceX_daboi]

The greatest test flight

[@Wayoutthere]

This was the WILDEST sht I have seen in my life.

[@wyattb3138]

I was like. Let's GOO, then oh no, then it's over, then we're back, then it's over, then it did the flip maneuver, and I was yelling!

[@emirhanyagcioglu6980]

S29: too angry to die

[@A24284]

I've been waiting for this!

[@veronikaj5613]

My reaction was the same. Incredible...

[@janwelorlina6511]

I WAS EXCITED TO LIKE THIS MAN🎉

[@Dani331]

Nice one Omari what happened to your first person journeys

[@ricktaylor5397]

Take that ULA!

[@danielroden9424]

i doubt that it is floating either the ship or booster. any time a falcon9 boost tipped it exploded so they most likely exploded too. from a code perspective i wonder if its smart enough to figure out how much control authority each flap has in the moment and adjusting to that so it can try and get to its predetermined area / orientation.

[@okedoke1234]

What does the MESL (minimum essential subsystem list) say about single engine out? Good to go I guess. I did 26 years on USAF flightlines and we use the MESL for aircraft.

[@AutoStudios532]

oh it's gonna get better in the future!

[@Nyzrael]

Stay passionate brother.

[@AllThingsSpace3]

nice reaction lol

[@slopedarmor]

this was a real nail biter

[@KoSXxPotatisbarnetXD]

Great video

[@nicoaeroespace5689]

The flap after the landing got dislocated and fell off

[@honzarubes2103]

?????Why would you think the landing burn should start at 15 km?????????????? Why tf would they do that????That's so high up. wtf

[@tech5298]

It’s amazing as that thing probably cost $100 million and it just became an immediate tax rate off

[@rojka-_-]

awesome, also i hope your profile image doesnt contain lgbt flag

[@MundaneMuser]

This was a suborbital test.

[@luismiguelfqpinto]

Not that much nerding out

you fidgeting is very irritating.

Iv😢never seen such a school girl reaction from SpaceX employees when something goes right. Love SpaceX but tired of the of the twelve year old comments. Nasal bucks hind tit but they still a professional in their comments.
