Starship | SN15 | Flight Test Recap

On Wednesday, May 5, Starship serial number 15 (SN15) successfully completed SpaceX’s fifth high-altitude flight test of a Starship prototype from Starbase in Texas. SN15 ascended, transitioned propellant, and reoriented itself for reentry and a controlled aerodynamic descent. The Raptor engines reignited to perform the landing flip maneuver before touching down for a nominal landing on the pad.
These Starship test flights improve our understanding and development of a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry crew and cargo on long-duration interplanetary flights, help humanity return to the Moon, and travel to Mars and beyond.

Mars is the first step to making life multi planetary because just think, every moment in human and this planets history will be gone eventually, our culture, our way of life, our entertainment - EVERYTHING we have come to know and love. We have to expand out and explore because if we are confined to Earth forever, all life as we know it will eventually die. We could die to war, natural disasters, sun’s expansion etc. the human race and all life will go extinct if we do not become multi planetary, of the end for us is inevitable if we do not venture out. Along the way we can do research and possibly answer some of the biggest questions such as are we alone? Is there signs of life or past life? Most importantly, like Elon and many others have said, why are we here? Are we really just going to sit here and watch everything suffer and die? Humans are meant to explore and as spacex is a private company with new innovative technologies, we are closer than ever before. You have to be exited abut the future, and although we have many problems here on Earth, it can only get worse if we are stuck here.

@@thatlegospacefan7315 “saving the human race” I’m sorry but Mars is a hostile world. It too will be consumed by the sun when Earth is. We should invest in preventing climate change and sort ourselves out here before attempting to travel to a world in which we must live underground like rats and never reach the surface. Yes maybe in 5000 years we will be able to “terraform” it but with the current technology, terraforming is impossible

[@thatlegospacefan7315]

Yes terraforming will be a long term thing but we have to help ALL life on Earth and we are thinking about the future, think of all the disasters we could possibly face within 5000 years. Pandemics that face a huge threat to the human race are becoming a common occurrence, long period comets or asteroids could hit us, due to many asteroids and object’s orbits constantly being changed but outer planet’s immense gravity and often deep space objects only being detected short term before they pass Earth there could be many threats. The thing is that we will face many challenges but it will be the greatest adventure EVER. it’s not like Apollo where we go to plant a flag and say we won, we want to preserve life and go as humanity to stop our impending and eventual doom. Even if we go in 5000 years, there will be more of your “problems”. Climate change, homelessness, these are all problems but there is an infinite loop. There will always be problems, when one is solved another pops up so of we stick to your motive we will never go. The thing that many people like clearly yourself don’t understand is that we are not just talking about Mars. Mars is definitely a fixer upper of a world but we have to deal with that - we didn’t choose Mars to like that. Mars is only the first step and there will be death and struggle but we will expand deeper into our solar system and in the long, long term possibly beyond. We want to go to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn and maybe even Pluto! We are not leaving earth or good but we are paving the way and becoming a space faring civilisation. If we are stuck on Earth with all our problems we will will die there. One of the best quotes I have ever heard is that although we were born on Earth, it doesn’t mean we have to die there. Besides, this will be the most inspiring thing ever in the history of humanity - people on Mars and beyond.

[@geoffroberts1126]

I saw Gagarin's flight in 1961. Then the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. I thought that was the pinnacle of our achievement, then the shuttle came along, but sadly the promise exceeded the achievements, then the doldrums, I felt that true human expansion into space was over for now and perhaps might never continue. Then SpaceX appeared and we had a reusable first stage soft landing on rocket power. I thought that was impressive, then we got Falcon Heavy... I thought, if they can put a car into space... then... Starship. Which promised so much more. Now, it looks like that promise will be fulfilled. The age of wonders is not over, and, as that infamous movie once said "The human adventure is just beginning." Let's go to Mars.

Idk why but raptor's gas generator sound is so amazing and terrifying to listen to .

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

That's the point of Raptor it has no gas generator. In a staged combustion engine we call that the preburner as the combustion products are fed back into the main combustion chamber, each flow, the oxygen rich and the fuel rich one combining. If the turbine exhaust is vented it's called a gas generator.
