Starship IFT-4 : Interstellar Cinematic Film

Starship IFT-4 : Interstellar Cinematic Film
Starship IFT-4 took place on June 6th, 2024, and launched at 12:50 UTC. It is the first test flight of Starship with a successful soft splashdown of Super Heavy booster B11, and successful entire atmospheric reentry of Starship S29, which also managed to perform a soft splashdown in the Indian ocean despite major flap damage and multiple heat shield tiles loss.
Cinematic Film made and edited by Planum.

Insane how starship litterally fucking melted and still landed

[@AnupomAG]

Like it's from a sci-fi movie where spaceship gets damaged and barely manage to lands

this can be an interstellar scene and no one would question it

[@andrewparker318]

Wow you nailed the visual aesthetic of Christopher Nolan!

[@Planum.]

Thank you so much !!

[@Henri979]

Definitely need this kind of video for the next flights especially when they are trying to catch the booster with the mecazilla arms

[@Planum.]

Stay tuned !

[@AidenHere]

Reality is often disappointing. But this. This. Is. Not. Disappointing.

[@hemisphereguide]

this was the exact music playing in my head watching the stream during re-entry

[@Planum.]

Same haha

[@TransoceanicOutreach]

...and a KZbin suggestion pops up at the end covering the whole screen and blocking the view of the splashdown. I suggest you add 10 seconds of extra filler at the end to stop this happening. Otherwise, excellent.

[@Planum.]

I'm gonna remove it. Thank you for your feedback ! Edit : fixed

[@Planum.]

Definitely

[@AmericanCrusader222]

Starship is the next big step forward for humanity.

[@Planum.]

Absolutely.

[@ZeHoSmusician]

All humanity will do once it explores space is take territoriality to the next level: from "Hey, this country has natural resources that we don't have in ours--let's bomb them!" to "Hey, this planet has natural resources that we don't have..." Realistically, you just about tolerate the people living in the same town or city as you. Those in distant towns and cities but still in the same country? Even less... People living in other countries? No thanks--well, unless they happen to share many cultural aspects of your country, in which case they should be kind of okay to interact with--and even then... (As the current rise in right-wing populism is reminding us of!) So, who knows what it's going to be like if ever there are humans living on Earth and others on Mars, and/or elsewhere...

[@Viraaj1KSP_]

Bro nailed it! The music and the mission are just like the emotion that we felt while watching the SpaceX's Livestream

[@avielhaber70]

Wow 🤩🤩🤩 and the best is, its the same camera perspective as in the movie

[@paulandrieu673]

Fly Starship ! Fly !

[@EmilioGameair]

Perfection, i imagine the day when watching a Falcon 9 launch and landing everyday, a Starship/Superheavy launch, a Superheavy catch and a Starship belly flop and catch is something numb

[@Planum.]

Yeah it will be insane...But when it will be the case we won't realize how incredible it will be...

[@EmilioGameair]

@@Planum. Yeah, all we know is that it'll be in a few years from now on, i hope my beloved Falcon 9 NEVER retires, if the FH gets retired, yeah it would be sad, but, not as sad as if the Falcon 9 gets retired i hope they use the Starship/Superheavy and the Falcon 9 in a parallel opperation

[@catprog]

@@EmilioGameair Their hoping to make superheavy cheaper to run then falcon 9.

Wonderful, really cool edit. Thanks for sharing!

[@brianforman1516]

Love it!

[@Planum.]

Thanks !

[@Kennerad0]

The only change I'd suggest is that you intercut the booster landing tracking/buoy video with the on-board video instead of showing them separately, otherwise its perfect.

[@Planum.]

Yeah I saw that after, it will be fixed for IF-5. Stay tuned !

[@RV4aviator]

Brilliant... Well done ...! A two handed salute to SpaceX...!

[@Lse380]

He will safe us

[@juggadaaku4219]

A dope ass video!! Just one little suggestion, the balance between the volume of music and the announcements/voiceover can be adjusted a bit. It’s more fun to listen what they say, at points the music was drowning them. Listening the countdown would be great!

[@Planum.]

Alright thank you for your suggestion, I'll make it for IFT-5, but for now I can't change that without reuploading the whole video, sadly. Thank you still !

[@365prexie]

Cool

[@humanetiger]

The whole 1st part is done perfectly well. Fantastic timing all the way to the end of "No time for caution". After that, having the song starting again was a bummer. Unfortunately I have no good suggestion of how to keep the dramaturgy up, but SpaceX will deliver more good stuff, so there will be many chances to figure that out, if you like ;-)

[@Planum.]

That will be fixed for IFT-5 ! I noticed that too

[@luisangel444]

Ngl, I think nostalgia is getting the better out of ya'll. I understand that interstellar was great, but the fast pace of 30 raptor engines going off doesn't go well with a slow pace of this song. Hans zimmer composed so many pieces that go with the fast pace of a Rocket ship, for example: Ignition (Man of Steel) or Arcade (Man of Steel)

[@AngeloCapalboGhelli]

Love it man!!

[@user-gv3rf3wk8q]

Best edit 🎉

Thank you :)

Haha nah he needs to keep his money to send humanity to Mars ! Thank you so much :)

[@adybarker4733]

2:35 Are those shockwaves at 100s of meters above the olm a new thing due to the power of this rocket or is it the improved cameras (frame rate?) these days that make them more visible? The Falcon 9 produces pressure waves on liftoff but I don't recall seeing mid air shockwaves on any other vehicle.

[@creative4801]

And the future is here .... Here we go....

[@satrianaliqa]

😮😮

[@BrisketChef]

I recommend doing another of these using the Mission impossible theme for the catch. Dead reckoning theme should work very well.

[@Planum.]

Excellent idea, I was actually looking for a next video idea, so thank you and stay tuned to see it in the coming days !

[@avs7210]

Уж кто то должен был создать такое видео 🎉

[@mmeyer795]

Question, why wouldn’t the grid fins be put in vertical position for ascent? Why are they fixed in horizontal. I’m not taking about flush with the rocket like the falcon 9 btw.

[@Planum.]

Excellent question. In my opinion, the actuators needed to raise them in a horizontal position for descent would add a significant amount of weight. Indeed, each grid fins weights 3t, so it would require very powerful actuators to move them to a horizontal position, given the position of the actuators relative to the grid fin. As we know all the actuators used for Superheavy and Starship are electric, so it would also use a lot of energy adding even more of them. What's more, the grid fins don't disturb the aerodynamic flow when they are perpendicular to the relative wind. That's why they only change the aerodynamic flow when rotating, which enables them to steer the rocket.

[@jonmarquez128]

Needs more views. Take out the voice.

I can't take it out without reuploading the video.

Still such primitive technology. We humans still don't come close to interstellar flight.

Yeah of course. We can imagine it will be possible with NASA's nuclear propulsion. It might come closer than we think.
