They pulled a real kerbal manouver right there. Seems that they forgot to turn SAS on...

[@gupikot5272]

mine first ksp2 launch looked like this.

[@-CosmoCode]

LOL

[@-CosmoCode]

@@gupikot5272 My first ever KSP flight wasn't very successful as I didn't know that you have to put an astronaut in the rocket manually

[@Jebedidiah]

🤣You could not be more right!

[@AlexlgYT]

they also forgot to turn on autostrut

[@elijahwills7331]

Just consider the sheer size of the rocket it was a skyscraper *spinning around in the sky* Pretty amazing

[@Moonmonkian]

It's actually 3m taller than the tallest building in my capital city.

[@toromax9923]

the most incredible part its the fact that it didnt break apart during the spin, for a rocket this size its unbelivable

[@thechroniclegamer4285]

It was a certified KSP moment (first)

[@TatersEatsCrayons]

i love how it failed to separate but the booster still decided to do the flip anyways

[@farbenfrohesgrau4056]

bro fogor to put wings at the bottom 💀

[@Devinci297]

I've had this so many times on KSP RSS! Better luck next time. This is worth a lot for the engineers

[@random_femboy_protogen]

Starship: gets to stage SEP. Also starship: SpiiiIIiiIIIiiIIiiIiIIIIiN

[@Jon_bob5012]

its my fault sorry guys

[@SynFuZe]

The Booster Engines blasted a crater into stage 0's concrete base, which on liftoff, caused debris to fly back up and pummel the engines, causing the engines to gradually start failing and hence why there were 3 missing engines on liftoff. Just if anyone isn't in the know yet

[@lunarmodule757]

KSP 2 gameplay footage

[@Fbrozz]

more like KSP 3

[@droowayne]

Looked a lot like my first few flight attempts in KSP 2 trying to get the decoupler to stage properly

[@thespacepeacock]

Why didnt they just revert to launch

[@dying2play517]

Watched it live myself, was the most KERBAL flight I've ever seen, lmao! HOLY shit it flew though. And oh was it beautiful... I stood in the living room and yelled at my tv "GO YOU SON OF A BITCH"... Bet the next one works though. Valiant attempt. Watching history

[@Wurtoz9643]

I got home and I kid you not 30 seconds before liftoff so the countdown hold was the best thing to happen to me in the entire year

[@juanmorenofuertes351]

Dude I was watching it in class, before an exam. That was NUTZ

[@kushalamruthraj3626]

I hope ur exam went well 😅

[@Jebedidiah]

I couldn't watch it because the exam was in the morning

[@Jebedidiah]

When I looked it up and saw it exploded I was like YIKES

[@HunchoVids]

Very excited to see you growing as a channel, I remember a long time ago you commented on my small channel to continue making KSP videos. I did not but I am glad you are still making videos.

[@RidiculousRocketry]

I watched it live yesterday. Enjoyed your reaction video. Thanks for sharing.

[@mremu8274]

The fact that it held together just fine after hurtling through the sky for a minute *and* after the FTS goes off just shows the incredible engineering behind this rocket.

[@jltrem]

"Oh my God, it's lifting off! Oh my God, it's flying, Holy Jesus, it's going! It's flying! It's flying!!" It blew up.

[@Szaboo92]

How does that contradict that it took off and flew?

[@jltrem]

@@Szaboo92 Oh, so it was SUPPOSED to blow up after it got off the ground?? I beg your pardon.

[@Szaboo92]

@@jltrem sorry for your misery.

[@jltrem]

@@Szaboo92 Sorry for your delusion.

[@Szaboo92]

@@jltrem what delusion? That it was a successful test? Falcon 9 blew up many times while in development, now its the most reliable rocket in history. SpaceX also appears to be the first to recover boosters. More than a hundred at this point.

[@jasper2185]

Its amazing isn’t it

[@blockvfive1196]

when the spacex commentator said "beginning to flip for stage separation" i lost it lol

[@QuantumRogue]

Haha, your reaction mirrored mine! And probably 1000's of others 😅

[@hfaulk]

“It’s pointing in the right direction!” Well those words aged like fine wine 😅

[@bennythespaceshipman9324]

I had the same in most parts (edit : my dad was also watching and he had the same reaction as you piolet lol)

[@xroller5313]

At least that skyscraper can fly.

[@frankyates5307]

Good call.

[@jfidel3943]

Seems like we shared a braincell on this one, my main thoughts the whole time were "IT'S FLYING" and "IT'S EXPLODING" such an awesome flight. can't wait for flight 2

[@Lemon3_Works]

They should've put a Kerman in there.

[@thatGUYbehindthemask]

you jinxed it saying we were gonna get stage sep :'D

[@TheNarrator132]

at T+ 2:23 you can notice where the orientation indicator gets messed up

[@AutoBotPlays]

whata day it has been!

[@djboogieboy]

Yeah, it separated after it blew up!😂

[@Starden1939]

They did not, in fact, check their staging

[@cobihillssteyn7975]

Still amazing

[@im7aymood320]

blud forgot to press T

[@ClearAdventure]

BFR = Big Flipping Rocket

[@fast-toast]

Flys better than any rocket in ksp2

[@RobotsEverywhereVideos]

they need to not use ksp2 physics

[@jacksonhiler3446]

man the really screwed up, they forgot SAS!

[@cosmicwarrior1]

whered ya go piolet?

[@Piolet1549]

I seem to be pretty good at disappearing for months at a time, then randomly coming back for like a month before disappearing again. Tentative plan is to upload a video sept 24... don't know what's gonna happen after then but there are some really cool things I would LIKE to do but idk

[@Jebedidiah]

While it wasn't a total success, it cleared the tower and gave the engineers plenty of flight data.

[@ATOplus.]

Dont get why they didn't just revert to VAB and try again.

[@chrisw9597]

[@What.the_fork255]

The N1 Repeats itself

[@mcjavabelike8320]

the problems with having large numbers of engines

[@Toniiii_]

​​​​@@mcjavabelike8320 problem in this test was not the engine amount. The hydraulic pressure units exploded at ~T+30 seconds which, in my opinion, could have lead to the stage separation failure. This hardware was very outdated, dating back to late 2021. The next booster, Booster 9, will have electric thrust vector control, so they won't need those HPUs anymore. The booster flips were supposed to happen, just not with the ship still attached.

[@bobatesomemayo]

N1 moment

[@viktorviktorb163]

хорошо пошла

[@mrmaverick007]

Bro they forgot sas

[@nishankbhargav4963]

It’s was kerbal launch

[@niteshmurti]

Too few struts i guess

[@doge4291]

and now all the news are saying the explostion wasnt intentional

[@theredstonehive]

4 minutes of total oversimulation

[@omerbilir3784]

u died again i guess
