OMG! SpaceX Starship Flight 5 Launch to Booster Catching! Full Video

[@jimferry3509]

I have seen a lot of things in my life, Apollo series, space shuttles, and so much more. The brain power to successfully achieve all of this is so incredible. Congratulations.

[@bentonroach9528]

Just think, this is about to become routine. I can't wait to start taking road trips to watch multiple launches. The "first ever" double booster return, booster and Starship return, double booster and Starship returns... We live in awesome times.

SpaceX casually catching a skyscraper 💀

[@AndreSimmons-ecarolinacosta]

A lighthouse

[@Tampon_Tim]

Every Chinese rocket designer is at this very moment drawing up designs for their own Tower!

[@Darker_Waters]

China can only steal designs lol.. They're probably going to sell towers on aliexpress with the brands SpiceX, SpaisX and Xspace. 😆

[@VoiceInUrHead]

They’ve got the chopsticks worked out

[@robertbraun7155]

Yep and I'd bet everything I love and own that they destroy several in the process. One of the most incredible feats of engineering besides the moon landing and was done flawless on the first try as if they have been doing their for the entirety of the program.. Amazing.

[@JohnMatthew1]

They can copy that all they want, they have been trying for decades, it's the true innovation of SpaceX and Elons team that makes this happen, not a copy.

[@CommonDaeze]

Good

[@robertholle5599]

That was spectacular! Great job SpaceX!!

[@anthonyhanna9914]

Congratulations Space X teams my anxiety is now better the anticipation for flight five was unreal so so happy for y’all

[@Mickey_Cloninger]

Congratulations Space-X and all of humanity!!!

[@allsummer6705]

What an historical event that just happened. A successful landing in history.

[@naturalfreq]

Watch how the left will poo-poo the African-American kid with Autism. It is pathetic. Kudos for Musk and Space-Ex.

[@chuckintexas]

A FLIGHT _into_ HISTORY with a landing to MATCH !!

[@Glennox5kVA]

I was screaming while watching this beautiful piece of rocketry doing the unbelievable! Salute to all SpaceX employees! Job well done! Congratulations Mr. Elon Musk and team!

[@games1004]

Incredible to notice that the booster landing on the chopsticks was perfectly "square" too! You can tell from the design of the visible interior portion above the grid-fins. That, to me, is like dropping a key into a lock, and having it fall right in! Nothing can top that precision! Controlled by great software, this will happen again, and again, and again! Also, you can see the velocity drop from 9km/h to 1km/h before catch. That's a little-more-than the number for feet/sec. That catch was gentle too!

[@junivelnunez339]

Another Spacex team accomplishment.Congratulations Spacex

[@MegaKracka]

I watch this video everyday when I get home from work... It's unreal.

[@JohnMatthew1]

Amazing SpaceX team, well done!

[@RichardTurner-ub8ci]

Amazing you guys did it wow.thats history.how could you not want to hear how excited and happy it made them

[@blazingsaddle166]

My god..............I am absolutely speechless. Just listen to that crowd. They went beserk!

[@paulatreides6779]

It's their work, so yeah! Kudos to all of those who made this possible!

[@edwardxuereb1222]

Congratulations to the SpaceX team for achieving this technological breakthrough.

[@Sirtomalot-c5s]

The biggest of congratulations to the whole of the SpaceX team, and thank you Elon for being you! Being you for having the dream and the tenacity to carry this through. Roll on flight 6 👍

[@atomf9143]

Watching this live was amazing. History was made with this catch. Congrats SpaceX!

[@garyglass.500]

Congratulations to the SpaceX technical, business, shoot to all the teams on this wonderful achievement - GRRRRREAT JOB ALL!!!

[@BurningZa]

That was fast!

[@greggesaman535]

Amazing work SpaceX. Keep pulling off the seeming impossible. Congratulations on showing NASA and the world how it's done.

[@eamonia]

My face is so sore. After literally crying, laughing like a maniac, and jumping all over my bathroom I feel like I just won the Super Bowl. I tried to be as quiet as I could but I woke up my wife and she's _not_ happy... Whatever.

[@amon6237]

She will b OK..

[@khanderaopareekshannarende9417]

So you're a pigako....😂😂😂

[@tantekyeong7483]

Congratulations 👏 Spacex👍👍👍

[@robertosteelheartperez3913]

Elon Musk makes space history again 🚀🚀🚀

[@h.plovecraftn-4307]

Just like the right brothers The first successful flight of the airplane.

[@crazyhumans-]

Boeing's ego must be devastated at this moment. NASA must be feeling some envy. Elon Must is the GOAT!

[@paintedpony2935]

Only a mean and petty person would even think to put down people who are not even remotely involved in this historic moment. Congrats SpaceX!

[@lulemelgarejo3280]

That's very fast. It's exciting to watch. Beautiful. 🚀🌿🌹🌿🤗

[@hawktheexcellentwaysociety8411]

HOPE TO THE WORLD! MORE PEACE AND EXPLORATION! LOL! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! DREAMS TO REALITY! WOW! JUST REMARKABLE AND EXCELLENT! THANK YOU ELON AND TEAM! YOU GIVE THE WORLD SOMETHING TO SMILE AND DREAM ABOUT! INCREDIBLE! JUST FANTASTIC! YOU JUST MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, TODAY, AND FOR THE FUTURE! THANKS AGAIN!

[@OMG-ef8qr]

I have almost nth to do with this but I'm soo fing excited

[@benjaminshropshire2900]

the first 80% of the problem is launching the booster, the second 80% is catching it, the third is flying it again. This is already insane levels of cool, but I'm wondering what the engines look like after landing given that "coming in hot" looks like it was more than just a turn of phrase. At a guess, this one will never fly again, but is going to give loads of data on what kind of stresses that entry put the engines under.

[@alkemix]

The boosters are designed to produce 17 million pounds of thrust and handle well above that in forces and over 6k degrees. Deceleration back to base is not going to render the rockets useless. That's probably a walk in the park for the booster compared to max q and the tolerances it's built to.

[@nightfox6738]

This catch never gets old...

[@pattygarcia3346]

Wow, fué increíble 🎉🎉🎉 👏👏👏

[@kenanacampora]

Congrats to Space X and Elon Musk.

[@hoosiercrypto9955]

The very definition of BEAST-MODE 😳

[@CourtAboveTheCut]

I’ve watched this catch at least 30 times and I’m still getting goosebumps

[@antoniovillela7426]

Amazed!!! The shop stick picks up the booster perfectly. My God! What an incredible engineering. All of it! Systems, avionics, mechanics, electrical and, of course, the first one, civil.

[@fredpryde8555]

this is the biggest moment in history i love space operations but that landing is the best i have ever seen i in australia and it was worth staying awake for it CONGRADULATIONS SPACE X great job

[@hallahgray3190]

The most impressive thing that I have ever seen nothing like it at this point, I think we may be able to make it all the way to Mars👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@hcderksen]

Spectacular! Love what spacex is doing.

[@CDLANEY1520]

A moment equal to Armstrong setting foot on the moon!.....Brilliant.

[@Mks-1994]

SpaceX 🎉🎉🎉🎉 incredible👍👍👍

[@larrysouthern5098]

Congratulations SpaceX!! A geeat achievement!! Like a boomerang 🪃 Wow!! Who would have thunk it!! 🚀 ❤

[@valerieewing3306]

Watching super heavy chopstick catch on high repeat....still in absolute awe...how is this possible...what an incredible milestone and a huge leap forward for engineering. Totally mind blowing!! 💥

[@propulsionpropulsion5579]

[@h3nn1n6]

OMG! 🥲🥲🥲 Happy tears! That was INCREDIBLE!

[@goikarBaab]

Awesome team SpaceX. ❤❤❤

[@caibelo8143]

My boy faster than the SpaceX X account

[@cteric509]

Great Job!!❤

[@r.kellycoker1981]

WHAT A RIDE! WOW!

[@AnaPetkeviciene]

👏👏👏👏👏😍

[@ghli2262]

So great!

[@Tom-cruiser]

Congratulations to the SpaceX team! A historic moment !

[@EdNolan-x8o]

"I got it, I got it, I got it!" BAM "Told YA I got it!"

[@jefforceone]

That’s one small step for man one giant catch for mankind

[@weltonreds]

This gave me chills....to see the future today!

[@44251]

DAM these guys are good. 👍🇺🇸

[@robertbraun7155]

Meanwhile Boing keeps not only getting contracts but being paid twice what spacex is and has managed to finally get one to the station but couldnt get it back. The absurdity of our government..

[@toryallan7967]

True Statement. Makes you wonder how much kickbacks cost now for Boeing?

[@ygursivad9921]

FYI, SpaceX is paying NOTHING for these starship flights. It's paid for by taxable commercial private funding. No Boeing, no ULA, no BO money. No tax payer dollars. Makes this even more impressive!!?

[@codycast]

Boing has the “correct” woke/DEI politics. That’s what the government cares about. Not our tax dollars or what company is doing the best.

[@alexanderrodriguez6273]

( SpaceX). Video scene 8:50 Second stage booster coming down at 200 kph ..I feel like saying; And the geek! shall inherit the earth! That's mathematics! baby mathematics! Landed correctly and precisely! On the chopsticks! Touchdown!!

[@danielgosnell5090]

now we have one to look at to SEE what went wrong and needs fixing

[@NwoDispatcher]

one small catch for an african american, one larger leap into a new world

[@leonardfoster2155]

I must say i didn't think this would happen and bet against it, so congrats to SpaceX for making history. But something let go when landing you can see it when going to 3 engines to land, next the craft was at Bingo fuel at return and it's not even carrying cargo at this point. Starship still has heat problems and was fighting off fin burn trough.

[@mrurbanexotic]

ELON THE REAL TONY STARKS/IRON MAN....

[@Yulin-skyviewer]

Go spacex

[@OMG-ef8qr]

Yeeeesssssssssss

[@yilmazsandikci8793]

A nice HUG 🤗😛👌👋👋

[@tristanmuller0208]

Amazing!!

[@skyserf]

Is that a drone or balloon in the sky at the 2:00 mark? Above the peninsula to the right of Starship.

[@paulatreides6779]

I think it's a similar drone as the one filming and I think they had another one for the next launch angle, view changing at min 2.24.

[@tsquare9168]

Bezo is probably beside himself this morning. After that catch. 😂

[@paulboger7377]

I think his sub orbital attempt has been delayed again 😂

[@leonardliverpool5073]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@paintedpony2935]

Why even mention him? He's irrelevant. This is ALL about SpaceX.

[@ianjco60]

Perfect baseball teashirt meme.

[@crawford1656]

The last person leaving NASA needs to turn off the lights.

[@gridvid]

Are they trying to catch the ship as well?

[@tbronson158]

Hey what is that ball type object under booster at "7.16"

[@johndavid9418]

Was that a sonic boom, or did I just hear Jeff Who's head explode 🤣

[@martinhavrilak5280]

Who knew you could parallel park a rocket.

[@earlduke3035]

Amazing

[@OMG-ef8qr]

Go elon go

[@jasonelmore2900]

Anyone notice how the grid fins get all swiggly warped after the hot separation blasts them?

[@travisbuscholl2479]

Wild!!!

[@JohnSostrom]

I am not happy that they video was cut off where it was.

[@digit313]

Perfect.

[@Татьяна-е5к8м]

Great work! And the explosion at the end, well, sorry, such a temperature drop, after braking! 😂If they were put on the platform, then everything would be very good! 👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🌌🙏☝️💯

[@Jeremiah-x7q]

Spaceflight bouta get super cheap super quick

[@Whiskey9o5]

This is completely insane... If you think about what the just done! Boeing is toast!

[@richarddonato6024]

I wonder if they could launch from Texas and catch the booster at NASA?

[@CommonDaeze]

I believe they’re building another tower at the cape in Florida so they can catch them there

[@paintedpony2935]

Why? What's your point?

[@Bawbag0110]

At NASA? You mean florida?

[@CJMattias]

Men see MASSIVE rocket land perfectly with 50 feet flames beneath. Men happ.

[@theprofessor8517]

That precision is amazing. Bye bye Boeing and ULA.

[@chuckintexas]

👍 yeah , so question , but IMO they should persist as best as they can , but this HAS to _hurt_ . Unfortunate . We need ALL players playing .

[@ShibHater]

Once technology is perfected, spacex can go for lighter material element.

[@MoeezAhmed]

Those questions and comparisons are very annoying. Hundreds of people are doing comedy and many other things; that doesn’t mean you’re copying

[@simplythebest7022]

👍👌💙♥️🇨🇭

Meanwhile in Blue Origin: 💤

Yea "tesla wont solve fsd anytime soon" ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@chuckintexas]

"fsd" ? Asking . Thanks 👍.

[@baaqu69]

i dont like musk but its clearly an achivement for humanity. his rockets are constantly better

[@chuckintexas]

You don't _have to_ "like" success . It doesn't care . Greatness HAPPENS _as does _*_truth_*_ , without _anyone's_ permission .

[@Dirk-gg1nv]

Fake AF

[@Bawbag0110]

Grow up

[@leonardfoster2155]

Really? I was their with thousands of other people, nothing fake about it

[@chuckintexas]

Yeah its ALL "FAKE" . _RIiiight_ . Sheesh . Haters can't face reality . TRUTH just HURTS _way_ *too* MUCH !!
