Live Reaction - IFT-4 - Starship

[@colegustafson199]

I don’t know what it is, but seeing peoples reaction to this flight makes me really happy, thanks for sharing

[@Blue-rw1eq]

it's the most powerful rocket ship ever created. this is the first time it successfully did a full flight test. this is the same rocket ship that Elon Musk is planning to use to send people to Mars, so overall this is a monumental moment

[@rdbchase]

@@Blue-rw1eq The fanboys are such incredible dupes that they call failure success. Starship suffered a failure of its thermal protection system during IFT-4. Neither it nor its booster landed. It has a tiny payload bay door that failed in its only test. Starship has not gone into orbit, appears not to have the capacity to carry a useful payload there in its current incarnation, has not been refueled there, and has not re-lit Raptors in microgravity. Fanboys invariably refer to Musk's fantastical claims about Starship going to Mars while completely ignoring the fact that taxpayers paid SpaceX almost $3 billion to develop a version to serve as a lunar ferry between Orion and the lunar surface as part of Artemis. SpaceX claimed that Starship HLS would make its first uncrewed landing on the Moon by the first quarter of 2024; it's almost the third quarter of 2024 and the vehicle hasn't even been built. It may be too early to pronounce Starship a failed design, but it is at best years behind schedule and has failed to achieve any of its design goals.

@@rdbchase por lo menos es un avance, no lo crees... independiente que no todo es bueno estan utilizando otra forma de llevar algo al espacio que es reutilizando la primera y segunda etapa

[@rdbchase]

@@Alex-boulel No estoy del todo seguro. Según lo atrasado que está el programa y la aparente incapacidad de Starship para transportar una carga útil significativa, el diseño puede ser un fracaso.

[@lanzer22]

@@rdbchase What a sad, sad life to be a hater going around reaction videos to complain.

[@Asterra2]

Awesome. I watch every reaction I can get my hands on and videos like this make it worth it. You guys jumped out of your seats when those engines relit and Starship went vertical. I'm sure that's how most onlookers felt. Not even SpaceX was really counting on Starship making it to splashdown. That exceeded their own key goal for the flight.

[@orionSpacecraft]

can yu recommend me some good ones you've found?

[@Asterra2]

@@orionSpacecraft Yeah this one was decent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXqQeqR9ZtuEhdU

[@Dante-ki4ol]

"They succeeded"....lol. The MuskCult is so lost. What an idiot.

[@RedRyan]

This was one of the best reaction videos I've seen so far, you guys did a great job in making sure the audio was captured and all of that. Love seeing your reaction it was extremely similar to mine

[@ship_30w]

Nice Starship!🔥🚀

[@mikolajmikun5337]

I do the same reaction and my family. We all always watching starting starship. Best regards from Poland!!!!

[@A.J.EspinalMusic]

Great reaction. Here in Spain we also experience it with great emotion. Congratulations.

[@J0J0Z]

Quiet reaction, I was screaming and jumping everywhere like a crazy in my livingroom 😆

[@awaustinl3184]

I was the same standing outta my seat with amazement was looking forward to your reaction when i watched ift3.

[@CommonDaeze]

There’s not enough live reactions out there please keep it up 😊

[@donald4munro]

Agreed. Will do! :)

[@aldunlop4622]

Don't worry, I had the same reaction myself. Reminds me of watching Space Shuttle flights with my dad. The initial startup just about knocked me off lol.

[@biosdilt1399]

I think basically everyone was speechless, you can even see it on the SpaceX crowd, they're cheering but in a very different way than when Starship lifted off for the very first time. There are just no words for a moment like that.

[@AmericanCrusader222]

By far the craziest thing I’ve ever seen live

[@OMaMaRMY]

THIS IS SO INSPOREATIONAL

[@lloydmiller4877]

Here before you're famous! Great video, definitely looked intense

[@stephenallen4374]

That's a beautiful model you've got there 😍

[@donald4munro]

Thank you! I will make a detailed video about the model soon. Others have requested information about it - and a video is probably long overdue. 😅

[@emmabentley7945]

So fun to see that every single one of us Texas tank watchers reacts the same ! ….meanwhile doggie is saying '' pet me ! com on .,.. me want pet's ! " so cute lol xxx

[@lanzer22]

I love how you and your dad had the same reaction with your hands behind your head when you're both worried. :). What a nail biter this flight was. Excitement guaranteed.

[@PsychoticWolfie]

Love reactions like this, reminds me of watching these types of things with my great grandpa and grandpa when I was younger, they were both very into anything aviation (great grandpa was airforce mechanic and grandpa was private pilot). I'm just glad they got to see Falcon 9 before they passed away :)

[@donald4munro]

That's so cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@raider3327]

So I wasn't the only one watching the lift off going. Go baby go 😊

[@donald4munro]

😆

[@alessioperini6120]

the little flap that could

[@viarnay]

that was a demonstration of power and technology...

[@william-wallace]

16:30 - Like father, like son

[@mrk_apx]

Really nice reaction! Pls pet Cooper for me!! :DD

[@Unbaguettable]

great reaction!

[@UptightWither]

16:30 the simultaneous hands on head lmao

[@Muonium1]

Cute bro. Cooper is very confused 🐕 haha

[@zazoreal5536]

This was a mean Starship! It just said Fck it....I am gonna land and there is nothing you can do about it! xD

[@donald4munro]

I still can't believe it 😯

[@northwestalternativemedia2125]

The Stanley cup is tommorow but ift4 was the most i cheered for any live event

[@donald4munro]

Hahaha 😄 I was at IFT-1 in person and cheered so hard that I lost my voice. I was kind of embarrassed by how obnoxious I was, lol.

[@Ahmar-kaleem1]

Dog's reaction is the best

[@donald4munro]

@Ahmar-kaleem1 The dog gets really excited when he sees people getting excited. 😆

[@BigBurger7611]

This was 100% me haha 🤣

[@Chickenlegs836]

Seriously dude? What's the point of this?

[@donald4munro]

What do you mean? What's the point of what?

[@tolegonianfella5423]

I could say the same thing about your comment
