First Ever Starship Launch & Crowd Reaction

First ever attempt of launching the SpaceX Starship Rocket into space on 4/20 of 2023.

I always prefer to see these more amateurish "people-from-the-beach" reaction vids than the more "big-media" slick ones. Feels... more real, somehow. Well done!

Poor dog, it's like taking a dog to a drag race.

Please... keep the camera pointed at the object you're trying to film. It works better than way.

Poor dogo.

[@tmuny1380]

YIPPEE! YAHOO !.............. BOOOOM ! FUUUUUUCK !!!!!!!!!

[@Djfresh84]

looks so slow

[@sailorman8668]

'looks' are deceiving.

The 3 failed raptor engines: wasn't me.

[@JULIAN11.]

3 engines turned off right after leaving the pad (/while leaving the pad), the other 30 engines were at 90% thrust, that gives a TWR* of ~1.2 - About the same as the Saturn V which was known to be an "slow" rocket (slow as took a long time to clear the tower and acelerate) * = Thrust to Weight Ratio - Lower than 1 means that won't lift off, 1 means that it will hover and greater than 1 = Will go up

[@_mikolaj_]

It was slow, it was underperforming and barely climbing.

[@bendobbing7015]

​@@_mikolaj_3 engines were out just after liftoff, that's equal to 1.5 million pounds of thrust lost which makes a massive difference to the TWR on liftoff when you need to counter inertia

[@Ian-Hall]

And 'none' of them realised it blew up. May as well have been a firework 200 feet away.

[@Gsoda35]

why can't the crowd be silent so one can enjoy the launch and engine sound? stop shouting for once.

[@JULIAN11.]

Some (most in that place I'd say) people have been following this program since its beginning, when that whole launch site was a pile of dirt and the construction site was a sad and lone temporary tent, or ~4 years ago - So when the thing actually lifted off it is understandable that most couldn't hold the excitement
