This was by far, the Best Launch I have ever seen to date. So Impressed was I. The Heaviest Largest Rocket 🚀 Launch to the Very Edge of Space Ever.

I've only ever seen the plasma wake in a couple of videos... one from an STS mission through the tiny side windows. And the other was when Orion re-entered. But this view... from out on the forward starboard flap looking aft... THAT was something incredible. To watch the flap heat up, and the plasma build up around the vehicle. Fluid dynamics people all over the world had to take a moment, and then a cold shower.

[@likeatoad]

Yea, I was totally blown away. We're watching history in the making!

Absolutely badass! Amazing that we have this all in high def video and we can stream video from the vehicle itself. Insane to think where the future will go.

[@_MaxHeadroom_]

Looks like they were having trouble controlling it's positioning during decent into the atmosphere. The plasma was so cool to see. It seems like every flight gets a little further than the last. As long as they keep that up Starship will be fully functional in a few years

That was the second-ever successful hot stage! Much better the mission than the IFT-2 and IFT-1

this is second spaceX hostaging, but russian rockets like soyuz i think have done hot staging many times

I can't wait till a starship flies above Europe so that I can look at it through my telescope. It should be pretty easy to see the shape considering how gigantic it is

38:04 methinks that little slip with the "hard slashdown" was either of the Freudian sort, or that deep down, he knew it would happen. 😊 Whatever the case, I'll say again, "congrats to SpaceX on another great test!" Much progress indeed.

[@anonymousstacker2044]

Noticed that too.

[@seantaggart7382]

So WE HAVE A ORBITAL ROCKET! small failure on The booster and ship but AMAZING! Id say we got a for the moon and mars soon

I just had a look on Next Spaceflight it says Launch Number Four in April this year for Starship

[@TheLaunchPad]

With SpaceX having to complete a full FAA Mishap Investigation most believe we are 60-90 days away from next launch at earliest. April was placeholder if flight went perfect as Elon said they are ready to go.

[@llee6511]

it's historical 🚀

[@fast-toast]

They need to replace the hot gas thrusters with monoprop. What i think happened is that ice formed around the nozzles of the hot gas thrusters, causing the thrusters to fire in the wrong direction.

[@NeroontheGoon]

I think you meant cold gas thrusters. I don’t believe they use anything else but I wholeheartedly agree with you. They had no where near enough RCS authority to get that monster properly aligned for atmospheric interface. Bring back the Dracos, they need the horsepower for this monster!

[@fast-toast]

Oh, I ment cold gas lol

[@daveman439]

So no splash-down of the booster? So what happened to it? Also the Ship? So they are going to/have will splash down somewhere?! Still; greatest show yet of human ingenuity!!! Congrats all!!!!!😂

[@highnessrm9256]

Why the booster has its grid fins unfolded all along the launch?

[@shouryabose5943]

It is more fuel efficient to just keep them out than install unfolding mechanism which adds weight

[@gerhardkutt1748]

What was the venting after the engines shut off?

[@fitnesstop112]

venting excess oxygen and methane I think

Is it me or does anyone else feel like from t-0 seconds to t+1 minute it feels like 3 seconds

[@fitnesstop112]

i watched it live I feel like its the longest part because I was just waiting for hotstage

[@LSF17]

No jazz music?

[@mikedenmark]

Aside from the flight itself, what amazes me the most, is the fact that so many people choose to cheer in unison at a catastrophic re-entry failure! I’m having a hard time understanding why non of these Starship launches display any kind of control at all during the critical re-entry phase. This plus the fact that the heat tiles were clearly coming off of the vessel at an early stage when the rocket was still somewhat under control, makes me believe that SpaceX have a long way to go before Starship will be going into space manned by astronauts. They can certainly go to the moon onboard the Starship if they so choose, but they definitely won’t be returning safely to earth anytime soon onboard the same rocket. Maybe the SpaceX engineers should think about that before Elon runs out of money, sending these expensive test rockets up in the hope of them returning intact to a tower that ‘catches’ them. As much as I wish it could really happen, I don’t think it will be happening for quite a while, after what we’ve been shown after the first 3 attempts. Starship is simply too big a rocket even for a computer to control during re-entry ~ so, unless the next Starship TestFlights display more controllable outcomes, surely no astronaut is going to rely on this form of transportation to and from space?!!

[@parumaksuda5589]

Excellent!

[@diamondzfriend5262]

Both the ship and the booster are literally 1 step each away from being fully successful.

[@diamondzfriend5262]

successful as in doing everything it's meant to do. This test was a big success even if a few unlucky fish got a giant cylinder dropped on thier head

[@Sundablakr]

In terms of what they are intended to do yes. But if you compare them to literally every other rocket in existence outside of SpaceX then it is already a fully operational rocket that can deliver 150 tons to orbit. It did exactly what every other rocket does, get to orbit and expend itself. Can't wait to see what we are going to do with this capacity in the future, imagine the science we could get from a space telescope 25x more massive than the JWST!

[@seantaggart7382]

It’s amazing how flat the earth looks from “space” lol!

[@TheGrateful108]

2nd stage has to be redesigned as scaled up version of X37B to withstand reentry. Even the 1st stage might has to land as a plane, because the engines does not ignite, because of excessive vertical pressure, because of bigger speed of descent, size and weight

probably at least 5-6 more. They need to tweak the booster and starships cargo door, some more heatshield plate upgrades, and re-entry upgrades. Then they have to get the catching mechanism and orbital refilling, which are both MASSIVE hurdles.
