Starship SYNCED Launch IFT5 vs IFT4 vs IFT3 vs IFT2

[@RedTideRTS]

In five flights, SpaceX goes from destroying the launch pad to catching the booster.

[@GoToSpace_GTS]

I mean, I think that nobody really believed that they are gonna succeed on the first try. That was out of this world.

[@ZSpace3000]

​@GoToSpace_GTS agreed. I thought it would slip out of the chopsticks 😂

[@lordofthesticks0]

from bellyfloping the launchpad to catching a skyscraper sized booster with metal chopsticks props to the engineering team working overtime for this

[@GoToSpace_GTS]

The team deserves all the credit, those ppl are incredible, the pace of dev is incredible

[@yummysatay]

4 flights x 33 engines = 132 engines total. These are raptor version 2. One failed during launch => (131 / 132 = ) 99.242% reliability in these prototypes. I am certain SpaceX will improve this in raptor version 3.

[@Hungary_0987]

Thats crazy tho

[@purinnyova]

don't forget the raptors on the ship! all of them successfully fired. that's extra 24 engines

[@Hello_OoOoO]

@@purinnyovaand 6/7 relighted as planned (landings and S28 failed in space re light

[@jason59k55]

thats quite a high level of reliability for such a prototype, something i dont that has ever seen since the RD-107/108.

[@tha1oneasianguy]

@@Hello_OoOoO No they just decided to not fire it

[@whatusernameis5295]

I was wondering why IFT 4 was so much slower then realized it was the one with the engine failure lol

[@notaq9727]

Quite shocking that a single engine can make the flight a little longer

[@lorenz2781]

@@notaq9727 I think they throttled the opposite engine accordingly to support a stable flight path which meant (almost) 2 engines being lost. If I recall correctly....

[@GoToSpace_GTS]

WTF did we just witness? SpaceX is out of this world.... Let's GOOOO

[@Meowmadness-l9q]

wtf🤣🤣🤣

[@RogueAI]

I think anybody that doubts SpaceX now is crazy after seeing an engineering miracle pulled off. They caught a mach 3 skyscraper with a pair of chopsticks! 🤯

[@CombraStudios]

Now it's time to bring up and laugh at all those people who laughed at Spacex before, let them taste it

[@Tomfoolery1972]

Would like to see all 5 at once, with 5 in the middle 😎🚀

[@aperson-x5k]

impossable!

[@ztinger5132]

Can you do the re-entry for the last 3 flights as well?

[@GoToSpace_GTS]

tomorrow

[@GoToSpace_GTS]

It's done ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGixn5Juetdgfsk

[@елена-н2г7э]

Давайте ещё раз насладимся счастливыми моментами запуска ракеты.😊😊🚀

[@goldenfloof5469]

I really didn't expect there to be as much variation as there was.

[@GoToSpace_GTS]

That was fast

[@flippert0]

IFT2: "I'm outta here"

[@priteshpatel9952]

I was thinking that too. IFT2 was hauling ass. 😂

[@priteshpatel9952]

I was thinking the same. Ift 2 was hauling ass

[@EvanPang-w4i]

It’s wild how they went from destroying the pad to catching the worlds largest rocket booster on their first ever attempt!

[@ezee7616]

thanks for you video!!!

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Interesting... IFT2 was using more Methane than Oxygen, to the exact opposite amount as the others. I wonder if they had the wrong data being applied (swapped, in other words)? edit: Oh they also flipped Starship's engine readout after IFT3 😅

[@seanbooth1408]

Thank you

Маск - Королёв нашего времени👍

[@Richard-lg2lz]

Amazing itd awsom

[@g.guzmancross9722]

Unique.

[@flippert0]

At the start, IFT4 was actually the slowest (probably because not all engines worked)

[@ZSpace23000]

Finally 😩

[@lupanebektianlines]

Do all 5 next

[@CanOp3n3r]

It would be fun to make some velocity and altitude graphs, Insane how much faster IFT-5 came back with that speed, But IFT-2 also seemed to have a higher TWR at the start

[@vortexgaming7364]

Flight 3 and 4 lifted off at t+00:00:02 but flight 5 took off at like T+ 00:00:05. Did they tweak it or did something fail

[@RedTideRTS]

Likely a different and more efficient throttling profile. For example, jets don’t floor it on takeoff. They have a certain throttle profile so they don’t damage the engines.

[@avsrule247]

I don't know for certain but I assume it was a gradual throttle-up to make sure they had healthy engines at all throttle ranges, because they would need complete control during the catch attempt. If the engines struggled at minimum throttle, the catch would have been aborted at lift-off, and the booster would have fallen into the ocean.

[@loadmastergod1961]

I noticed it watched live stream. I think it was a slower ramp up to the desired TWR, rather than punching it to the theoretical throttle position. But im not part of tge decision matrix, nor a space x employee

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

this was cool

[@delta07-507]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@gabrielmelostudios]

The three last starship missions are sucessful!

[@aaaaa5272]

Based on which criteria? I believe that the criteria changes for every test, i.e. the first two might also be successes.

[@Boss_Tanaka]

There was a great step between #1 and #2

[@fakuxeneize7271]

Imaginen lo que va ser el IFT6 🙌🙌🙌

[@JimmyRJump]

In five test flights, SpaceX goes from being a joke to making history. That's how close things are. It's a thin line we're walking on. Derive from it in just the slightest is the difference between ridicule and heroism. This is heroism.

[@SOR-05]

Interesting to see how IFT 4 was the slowest because one of the engines stoped burning.

[@jeffshepard4976]

Why did IFT5 take so long to get moving.....IFT 3 and 4 left pretty quickly.....

[@КириллКонышев-м2ы]

Термозащита двигателей и основного корабля + новый объём баков + блок горячего разделения + скрытые детали внутри корабля (новые антенны + камеры).

[@Cursed_Baljeet]

Yeah…. And on top of that the booster strangely returned the fastest…

[@ThunderBOLT.92]

​@Cursed_Baljeet The booster returned faster because the it is a more direct trip to the launchpad than far into the ocean

[@SuprSBG]

Tbh I prefer the tower launch cam of 3 and 4 to the drone of 2 and 5

[@scottstewart5784]

cool

[@Eddy525_violin]

Yeah they were definitely running higher throttle on 5

[@Xenuos]

wtf there's been 5 tests already?

[@GoToSpace_GTS]

😂 Right?

[@independentskarab7775]

does anyone know why IFT-5 spent so much more time on the pad than IFT-3 and 4?

[@blaat1982]

Booster 12 came in so much hotter

[@ChristopherLecky]

LOVE COMPETITION? Compete with the timeline you'd hate to experience.....!
