Unreleased Starship Flight 2 Launch Footage (Slow Motion 4K)

[@NASASpaceflight]

The sound is bonkers in these clips. Also, metal prints from the launch are available here: shop.nasaspaceflight.com/collections/metal-prints

[@rjswas]

Sounded like an epic popcorn maker, funny enough though, watching it needed popcorn, and i didn't have any.... or Bacon (that was for Jack)

[@billgilbride7972]

Sounded like being slapped by the Heavens for reaching so far. It's not so easy to record that either! NSFs audi and video sets a Launch Standard.

[@dumpsterdiner]

Daaaaaaammmm you guys are good! These shots are just 👌🏽 chef's kiss. (Alternately, they could also be described as absolutely amazeballs bonker nuts!)

[@donculver153]

OLM used to be my favorite term. Hot staging is pressing that. Then the kaboom of the flight termination. Unbelievable. Jack Jack

[@bazanime]

The booster RUD is worthy of a Hubble or JWST image. Quite beautiful and mesmerising.

[@Saymike65]

So true! It didn't explode, it was transformed.

[@theweasel-uf7dn]

just WoW. supernova close up. brilliant.

[@AJTStuff]

I wonder what heavy metals formed from the explosion? Lol...get it? It looked like a supernova???

[@RP1D2]

7:13 insane when it popped 🎉

[@theweasel-uf7dn]

@@RP1D2 lost for words, just keep watching it. sooo glad it failed. but desperatley wanted it to not fail. thing is we will all be wishing for another big bang next time, we could jinx it

[@markusmencke8059]

Mach Diamonds overlapping from all 33 engines? Holy… cow. Beautiful.

[@59seank]

I didn't expect that.

[@lanatsif]

Have we had any info from spaceX on how much thrust that was? Cause yeah that looked insane i'm so eager to know how it compared with what they were expecting

[@Psi105]

Mach diamonds made out of 33 smaller mach diamonds

[@philippernst5662]

What an incredible day for all of us space nerds! Thanks a lot for the unbelievable effort you guys put into bringing these historical events to us!

[@jasonrubik]

Yes I am a space nerd but it is unfortunate that the non-space Nerds and non nerds don't look at this sort of thing even though they need this the most... all of humanity needs this the most. Existential risks are real

[@stu_boy]

Honestly incredible scenes right there. Hats off to Jack on capturing the booster go bang!

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

For tracking it all the way! Sharp and crisp too. Wow! SpaceX might get more out of this than their own video...

[@dogbreath6974]

I wonder what made Jack follow the booster and not the ship, glad he did.

[@Matt_286]

@@dogbreath6974 well if you think about it, it makes more sense to follow booster, since ship is already too far to get any decent footage of more than just a bright dot in the sky, but booster is returning towards the camera, so even if it did not explode, it would be better choice to film it and not the ship :)

[@David-yo5ws]

@@dogbreath6974 Experience, I guess.

[@ryanhamstra49]

@@David-yo5wsthey had 10 different people on 50 different cameras. Das and Mary were probably tasked with following the ship and Jack got the job of the booster. Don’t need every camera pointing at the bright dot

[@ukar69]

The booster RUD is a thing of beauty. It looks like an expanding nebula.

[@alanc3933]

Absolutely beautiful views. That Explosion from the FTS was EPIC. Thanks NSF Team

[@tonep3168]

That explosion at the end was like watching a nebula forming. Beautiful!

[@peterthornton6145]

Jack's entire launch to staging to booster demise segment was extraordinary!!

[@bigtop1967]

Mary, Jack - your FINEST WORK! Thank you!

[@imquokkacola]

That shot of the booster exploding is absolutely mesmerizing 🤯

[@antolus22]

Best Starship video on YT. Hands down... quality is top notch

[@MickRonald]

Everytime I think the videos of this launch cannot get any better, they do! Thanks Mary, Jack, and Sean for providing them. Thanks Thomas and Kevin for editing and producing this.

[@NOM-X]

X and NSF have the best footage out there, even if its not Star Ship. Love you guys. - NOM

[@SportDCS]

I’ve watched this a few times now on my OLED tv and I can’t believe the colors, the tracking, and the stabilization you managed. Best footage of the launch, by far

[@dorinbirsa9678]

The RUD of the booster is amazing !!! It's like is coming towards you!

[@VinoVK]

Before these developments, rockets with most number of engines to attempt flight was done by soviet russia during N1 days, we have seen how much the struggle was to make such a complex rocket to fly, but after many years pass by, now spacex has achieved this gigantic milestone with just two attempts 💥...I will say that this achievement by spacex is no ordinary...Go spacex🙌

[@angryhairpeice]

Wasn't that one supposed to land on Mars? Would you volunteer to ride in the next one?

[@mythrin]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@angryhairpeice No, it was supposed to drop in Hawaii as a semi-orbital test flight. Would you volunteer to educate yourself a little more next time?

[@angryhairpeice]

@@mythrin In 2014 Musk said h they would be landing one on Mars in 2024. That makes this the launch that makes it there. You going to volunteer to ride in the next one?

[@Surrenitie]

@@angryhairpeice Its not 2024 dumb dumb, besides Elon recently said the crewed Mars landings aren't till later this decade. This flight as previously stated was not for Mars

[@Iambigus]

13 years in media photography. Most would be zoomed in tight, but they would have all missed what you captured. Great job, just spectacular!!!!!

[@margarettaney3618]

I want the booster RUD as my screen saver. I am so impressed with NSF photography; editing and the speed at which it happens. Metal prints available within minutes. It is amazing that it is even possible to take those images. Thank you everyone including Jack, Das, Mary Sean and everyone involved. Thank you for the livestreams and commentary.

[@corrinastanley125]

Brilliant work by the whole NSF team. Thanks for showing everyones efforts.

[@c7ouchy1]

All amazing footage jacks is superb!

[@glitchered]

that looks awesome. that launch rumbled mary's camera. sean is always up close. you gotta agree tho, jack had a very good track and captured the most beautiful shots. don't mind the rud. it's great footage. yó/

[@Airbertach]

I'm very appreciative to the photographers and their skill in capturing the footage and then converting to slow motion. You really get to see the detail, especially towards the end with the booster was destroyed via FTS.

[@jimmyprunier8760]

Merci pour cette vidéo NSF vous faite un super job et les vidéos sont d’extrême qualités merci 👍👍👏👏👏

[@viper02222]

Jack, my jaw is on the floor. The colors are amazing. Your really brought it for IFT2.

[@ScottBrooks6]

That footage from Jack is some of the best I've seen yet. Incredible

[@10Exahertz]

That really close up shot was epic and beautiful, hopefully only 2-3 months before next launch

[@Mighty_Mersh]

it's like a galaxy exploding, just crazy! Thank you to the entire NSF team for the hard work and coverage!

[@janine6014]

I could watch this every day and it would still give me chills. ❤

[@tennesseeferry2882]

OutSTANDING!! Nice to see footage from the original resident of boca chica, Mary again!!

[@thehoff4581]

All of you got amazing footage and pictures for IFT2. Congratulations!

[@KatharineLikesCake]

Awesome footage, thank you! I love the bird booking it outta there at 1:35, lol!

[@cosmiclettuce]

great job getting this video it's obvious how much care is put into acquisition and production. thanks!!!

[@PhilippIllmer]

Huge Respect for that last shot. Insane.

[@TheSadButMadLad]

Jack caught the booster RUD perfectly. That'll be a video that millions will watch over and over. And engineers will analyse over and over too.

[@marymoe77471]

Thank you Mary, Jack and Sean for the awesome footage. 🥰

[@SetecX]

Utterly spectacular footage. Masterful talent. Whatever that gear cost it is worth every penny.

[@mortenmlbjerglund772]

Jawdropping footage. Well done Jack, Sean, Mary - the whole NSF team - WOW JUST WOW!

[@maryfmills3034]

Well done!!! So beautiful!!! Thank you to every one who worked on this you give such joy.

[@59seank]

Thanks Mary, Sean and Jack! The explosion of the booster reminds me of a nebula. The rapid growth and size of the explosion shocked me.

[@iwayini]

What a capture of the explosion. Jack you are my hero! NSF you are amazing!

[@markhuebner7580]

Awesome video! I like the shock-wave/Mach-diamonds in the exhaust stream. The transition, presumably to supersonic, where the exhaust stream blew out, with the clouds around it, was impressive, thanks!

[@stuartbrown1677]

Astounding photography Thank you Stuart in Ireland ☘️

[@YinGfeatYanG]

my god, Jack's footage is amazing!

[@rogeriobarretto]

What was that !!!!!! Favorited for life, what a shot! Super! Thanks NSF you are awesome!

[@BenjySparky]

NSF and Jack y'all rock! Peace

[@JaviAirwraps]

I am obsessed with this footage! I cant stop rewatching and playing back to study each frame lol And omg Jack's footage starting at 2:00 is hands down some of the best rocket footage ive ever seen!!!!!

[@TechDarJul]

very beautyfull thank you for this slow motion explosion.

[@tehhMatriix]

NSF we need y'all to make a metal print out of Jack's FTS footage and call it "Booster Nova"

[@scottelkington7661]

Unbeleivable!! Easily the best footage I've seen of the launch, breathtaking!!

[@ekoden]

Everyone had hopes, dreams, and expectations but I don't think anyone predicted just how beautiful the views of Starship would be.

[@nickym5271]

What can I say.....WOW.......just, wow.😍 Space X made their own nebula

[@infinitytec]

Such a great launch!

[@Kavriel]

I have no words. It's among the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

[@theoccupier1652]

I thought Tim Dodds footage was great but this knocks it out of the park ... and the sound ...Wow!

[@johnberkers434]

WOW!!! Awesome shots, especially the tracking shot culminating in the booster FTS RUD Nebula.

[@slopedarmor]

wow jack is absolutely killing it

[@RobertReddy-ux5ye]

Mesmerizing videos, great job to Mary, Jack and Sean

[@DCProductions00]

Jack, that tracking shot was absolutely incredible. You just blew my mind! 🤯

Spectacular !!! Awesome job to all and everyone at NSF 👍💯

[@BLACKLIGHTzone]

Congrats to Space X on this incredibly launch but also.. congrats to the NSF crew on getting these amazing shots! Like the Jac Beyer one is just mesmorising to look at. From the launch till the end of Stage 1, just wow.

[@Grekkenn]

The clarity of the booster footage is insane. It looked like it was coming at me almost jumped off the screen it seemed

[@innerspace3155]

omg, thank you for bringing these views (and sounds) to us!! Incredible footage. You've outdone yourselves I think. I hope y'all are getting some well deserved rest.

[@Aresthegodofwar99]

I don’t know what we could’ve done without you guys! I must say that your content is so incredible and professional that it’s so inspiring to all of us to see what the future brings, and I can’t wait to see what you guys will post during future flights and what amazing views you’ll provide to your already BIG community Also I got to point out that the rud of the booster it’s majestic that it seems like a nebula expanding , jack really nailed it !! Thank you @NASAspaceflight Godspeed SpaceX

Jack B shots are awesome! I dont get why he was hard on his self during the live event. These are insanely good imagery.

[@JackABeyer]

❤

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

At this resolution, the silent starburst of the Booster termination is absolutely heavenly.

[@vanrex7682]

Man that were the most beautiful flame and explosion I’ve seen in my life. That explosion looked like how I Imagine a supernova would look like.

[@mroriginal6303]

That booster explosion looks like dust galaxy at the end 😮

[@rbackman07]

Amazing tracking and so clear!! that RUD!! the booster really looked like it was going to come back but then it turned into a nebula

[@SkyGuyPNW]

One of few videos that could have benefited from being shot in portrait mode, in the beginning. Starship is so massive! That explosion at the end was otherworldly!

[@atptourfan]

OMG, Jack! Wizardry and absolute top artistry on the tracking to B9's demise. Well done!!

[@timf3099]

The most sublime rocket launch in history. Absolutely gorgeous photography. A sound never before heard on this planet. Must've been an amazing body-high to be there in person!

[@dansolo9573]

Holy sh*t Jack you are the man! That second shot???!!! Wowsers

[@RengadeWarrior]

That Sound!!!

[@JEBavido]

Sean Doherty, the capture of the bird in flight really brought home, for me, all that noise and vibration!

[@robertkluge5774]

i love it, great job making this footage 🤩, thx

[@nagliuza]

SpaceX could not have come up with a better name for Raptor... The sound is incredible, hope to hear and see it in real life one day!

[@Westythe3rd]

Lol Gary legging it @1.35 ;) Amazing video and thanks again for all the hard work the team put in for us!

[@runewinsevik8471]
