I'm 61 now,and that catch after everything,I literally cried. I remember being 6 years old and watching Neil Armstrong step onto the Moon live,trying to process how big this was. On a 6-inch portable black and white tv at Fort Worth base while my father ran around the house shouting, "We made it to the Moon!" To think from all the movies and shows I saw from the 50,60s,the 70s,2001 a Space Odyssey,Star Trek,Star Wars,all the classic scifi movies and on...to seeing this become real. I came before cell phones,the internet,the International Space Station,to someone like me,you all are in such a magical time I could only imagine back then. I am in such an emotional state watching,I cant believe I have lived long enough to witness the first starship,the First Starship,people,it's really happening... The family of Space X are the finest of all of humanity could ever hope for. I feel privileged and humbled to have witnessed your sheer genius and incredible determination to advance humanity to the stars.

I absolutely agree! But here's the thing most people don't realize...a thriving space industry will be absolutely CRITICAL to our planet and the environment in the decades and centuries to come. Look at the disastrous mining processes to acquire the necessary elements to make EV cars, solar panels, electronics, and all the things that are touted as being renewable and clean. They're extremely rare, and one day they'll be so difficult to find and our reliance on them so important, that leveling mountains in order to harvest them will be unfortunate but necessary. NASA has found an asteroid that is estimated to have enough rare elements to completely devalue them on Earth, all of the precious metals will be as cheap as lead, rare earth minerals will no longer be considered rare but abundant....and there are innumerable asteroids out there for us to find in our quest to improve our clean energy and zero emission aspirations. If we can get our space industry to the point that such elements and minerals can be profitably harvested from our asteroid belt and brought back to Earth, we can finally stop stripping and destroying our home planet for the things we're relying on to keep it healthy and sustainable. Our planet is why we should be supporting all endeavors in space, my friend.

Absolutely stunning. I was in tears 5 minutes in until the booster catch. What an incredible achievement for all of humanity. Massive kudos to the SpaceX team!!!! It is absolutely criminal that this isn't at the top of every single news feed.

[@kalidilerious]

It's no big deal. What they did was play the launch video in reverse. Do you understand what I'm saying? So the booster launch from the chopsticks is the rocket actually taking off. All they did was play the video in reverse.

[@ElixirCortez]

@@kalidilerious First, if it was reversed, we would see the exhaust from the engines being sucked in, which is not how a rocket engine works. Second, look at 0:51. You can still see the ship. Now look at the booster catch. Now the ship is gone. The booster can’t just magically pick up the ship from space, which is what would happen if the footage was reversed. So overall, it is not reversed.

[@julz_swag]

Catching the super heavy booster was incredible and the the new starship views were amazing.

[@DeepDeepSpace]

Oh I can think of a few others such as... -the five other moon landings. -the landing of probes on Mars, Venus and Titan as well as a comet. -sending probes to orbit Mars, venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. -sending a probe to do flybys of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. -the 130 plus space shuttle launches and landings. -the construction of space stations like Mir and the ISS. and those are just the space related things.

[@ChessMasterNate]

There are other candidates: The Human genome project. Not only that they did it, but they did it ahead of schedule and under budget. And for $300 I can have my own done. Not just genotype but full DNA sequence. Some of the antiaging experiments with mice have been pretty incredible. They made a blind mouse see again, for one. They have made fruit flies live many times longer than normal. They restored the thymus, responsible for many immune functions, the shrinking of which is likely behind the susceptibility of the elderly to flu and other killers, that shrinks with age in elderly people. Going to the Moon is great, but when they can make a person live to 100 years and still have the body of a 50-year-old, and potentially live to 200 or more? Yes, I know, we have not done it yet. We have made great progress against cancer. Over 150 million people have had their lives saved by advances since 1969. And you have to acknowledge the progress of AI. The art was fantastic, now the music is fantastic, soon the video will be fantastic. And there was using AI to solve all the protein folding, for which the Nobel was just awarded, and could allow us to engineer novel genes that don't exist in nature but are purpose designed to fix problems. GPS is pretty nifty. MRI machines. Statins have likely saved many lives. Cellular phones/smartphones. The PC. But "The Internet" has to be the winner. When this is used to build a Mars colony, we can revisit this comparison. Somehow, by that time, AI's impacts will be even more profound and hard to compete against. Antiaging may also have made strides. Cancer also may have been pushed to the 6th or 8th leading cause of death. And there may be new things like gestational chambers, that allow optimal nutrition, optimal mental stimulation, minimal exposure to toxins and pathogens, freedom from genetic defects, and ideal birth weight when baby is taken out. It would be amazing if many more people got a great start in life. The fraction of newborns that have had it that good is probably negligible. 90% have less than optimal iodine. And probably greater than 95% have suboptimal choline, especially as the suggested level is at least short by 50%, and 90% don't get even that. We haven't even figured out the optimal level of many nutrients...even the "required" ones we haven't figured out. The control in gestational chambers will allow us to hone in on optimal. And it is more important than most people realize. Common variation levels of Iodine can make more than a full standard deviation in IQ difference, Choline at least a half, collectively the other B vitamins another half, D, omega 3, astaxanthin, and other things likely another half, and just eating 7-8 serving of fruit can add another half. Hardly any room for the supposed genetic component. And I haven't even looked at the other end. The toxins, pathogens, and hypoxia and such driving IQ lower.

[@maxlin3442]

Fun facts: 2:50 the blue plume is exactly the same as that on the stove, indicating a clean combustion, meaning SpaceX must have improved the engine in some way 4:33 The dot on the horizon seen on the ship's view(left) is the superheavy booster 7:00 The "cloud" superheavy flew through is the very launch plume it came up from 7:18 The reason why the bottom of the superheavy is bright yellow is that it's so hot the stainless steel started glowing

[@thomasvanwely]

Nah the glowing part is the heatshield. If your metal glows that bright at that speed it would just become the worlds most expensive bananapeel.

[@GarageBandSuperheros]

What is the piece that separated from the booster at 5:40 I just woke up missing this live, and the SpaceX channel removed the live stream, so I'm here. Is that a piece that is supposed to come off? or what could it be? I'm still learning about all this awesome space stuff. Also, Holy Buckets, Congratulations on the catch! First Try

[@andrewmcnamara1991]

I believe that is the hot stage ring it looks like

[@ryancollyer2046]

It's called the hot staging ring. It was added late into design to protect the booster from the starship exhaust. Temporarily it will be dumped to save weight, but in the future they will keep it.

[@STARGUY5]

That was the hot staging ring that they separated to save weight

[@TheTennesseeTornado]

It's the hot staging ring, which is a piece between the ship and the booster that acts as a heat shield for the first stage so the second stage can ignite its engines before separation. It is normal for it to detach after separation. Future designs are supposed to phase this out once they improve the hot staging techniques.

[@GarageBandSuperheros]

Thank you all for the info . I'm just an old snowboarder stuck in a wheelchair and had no idea what that could've been, I figured the Space X announcers may have mentioned it, but when nothing was said I was wondering. :) andrewmcnamara1991, ryancollyer2046, STARGUY5, TheTennesseeTornado
