[@needleonthevinyl]

Congratulations SpaceX on yet another static fire where the booster stayed attached to the test stand

[@Ingo3112]

🤣

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

😂😂

[@Nuke-MarsX]

to be fair it was somewhere between 40 and 60% throttle, if it were at 100% nothing could have stopped it from lifting off

[@bueb8674]

Can't take these things for granted anymore it seems... lol

[@TheOfficial007]

For those who do not know. It's a joke on the Chinese company copying falcon 9 but their static fire left the stand. Still funny to watch btw 😂.

[@mikakettunen7939]

I am so happy about how all of this is becoming more and more mundane and casual and - dare I say - boring - it is a vital sign of progress in the grand vision

[@StarshipToMars]

I dunno about you, but I'm nowhere near being bored.

[@banzaiib]

Nothing boring about 20 million pounds of thrust... But yeah, I agree. Amazing advancements happening in front of us.

[@mikakettunen7939]

@@banzaiib ABSOLUTELY nothing boring - but you get my point about mundaneness - that a word? - which is super welcome atmosphere

[@Nuke-MarsX]

i understand what you mean by boring ive sadly seen that happen with falcon 9 and heavy, i hope it never happens to starship

[@BPJJohn]

@@mikakettunen7939 "Routine" I think is more appropriate.

Such a beautiful monster.

wait until you see what's in my pants

[@Artemis-n9j]

I can’t wait for this next flight, it’s gonna be amazing!

[@BCR81]

Crazy to think that if all goes right, we might (emphasis on might) see this booster static fire again after IFT5!

[@z30_HUNGARY]

Insane power, insane visuals.

[@Nuke-MarsX]

and this is between 40 and 60% throttle

This promises to completely revolutionise space flight, and space exploration. I’m 60, so I should witness some of the huge steps we will make.

[@brianboye8025]

I saw the US space program from the first exploding rockets, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and this is awesome. I resented the poor coverage of the Soviet space program at the time. Stupid secrecy.

[@jcdisci]

I'm 66 and saw Armstrong step on the moon standing on a sidewalk watching a 15" B&W TGV through a store window. I've been waiting for Mars since!

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

@@jcdisci That would have been quite an experience. One of my first memories is of being in the sitting room of friends of my parents at christmas, with the TV on showing astronauts in space. I believe that was the Apollo 8 round the moon trip.

[@DavJumps]

I'm only 50, so I'm at that sad age where I've lived over a half century during which no humans have ever voyaged any farther from our home than low earth orbit. After all the promise my parents witnessed (and I just missed out on) I'm really hoping to be around long enough to see humanity finally once again embark on a journey beyond our cradle.

[@jcdisci]

@@DavJumps I'm honestly planning on going to Mars, myself! I'm from a little town in NE Kansas. I've been to Paris, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, East Germany, Berlin, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, seen Napoleon's tomb, been in and under the Cathedral of Notre Dame, spent hours roaming the Louvre. I served at NATO HQ during the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979. Seems like Mars would be the cherry on top of my life. Wish me luck!

[@Pintuuuxo]

Thank you for synchronizing the sound. Good job!

insane, can't wait for ift5

[@rolfrobertson6404]

Well i guess SpaceX has better clamps than the Chinese..lol great channel guys. Thank you.

[@ronaldckrausejr7762]

But the Chinese are are doing better than the flawed Space Shuttle program, and the soon to be retired ISS

The sound is awesome, but aligning video and audio _tracks_ is inauthentic. I want to feel like I'm standing there, complete with delay.

[@julianfp1952]

Thinking back to how nervous and excited I was to see even a 1 engine SF let alone a “full” 3 engine SF before the higher altitude SN belly-flop tests it’s amazing to see a 33 engine SF becoming almost routine (one go and it’s done). I suppose we don’t have confirmation that this was a completely successful test yet but it certainly looked good to me. This all seems to be heading in the right direction.

[@bryanillenberg]

We now have confirmation. Full 33

[@ihateflatearthers]

I believe they only do 33 since B9

[@Crionis12]

oh shock waves... that must be hard for the launch infrastructure

[@miketobin2324]

It totally shivered me timbers!

[@StephenBoyd21]

It managed to stay on the pad. Which is one up on some other rockets.

[@NollieFlipX]

I miss the Starship honk we used to have

[@evilelf5967]

big up for the stand!!! 20 million pounds pulling against it and not a peep.amazing.

[@AmericanCrusader222]

Hard for me to wrap my head around the engineering that goes into constructing that beast

[@SeedFactoryProject]

It is pretty straightforward engineering. It just has more zeroes in the calculations than previous rockets.

[@frrapp2366]

i noticed no "honking "after the engines shut down!! change in shutdown procedure, water suppression , fix in engines??????

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

Too many Raptors to hear the honking. On the ships it is more clear.

[@Beyersdoerfer]

This static fire seemed alot cooler tan all before in my opinion

[@TJ-W]

It’s because of the sound

[@Beyersdoerfer]

@@TJ-W I didn't think it was because the sound

So nice without the vertical tanks! Big views! Great job Jack and team!

[@gsparkman]

Yeah, but that water deluge makes it impossible to see the engine ignitions. I always enjoyed the post test analysis of how many engines actually lit.

Hard to believe that the view from South Padre Island is 5 miles away. The tower, cranes and High Bays are so hugh. I have got to see it in person, before I die! Step 1: I got to get a passport.

[@NomadUniverse]

I'm very grateful that Space X are moving at the pace they are as my declining health means I relatively wont be here much longer. I expect if the IFT5 booster catch comes off we will be seeing routine booster catches in three or four years, or sooner. It's gonna be amazing.

[@leighthetwinotterflyerjone9460]

AS you can see China, this is how you test a booster without it leaving the pad.

[@arthurhamilton5222]

Great SpaceX and NSF your're great good luck ❤

[@emmettrocks2]

INCREDIBLE! Great footage NSF Team!
