SpaceX Starship SN10 soars, lands for first time!

SpaceX Starship SN10 prototype flew to an altitude of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) and landed 6 minutes and 20 seconds after liftoff on Mar. 3, 2021. Unfortunately, it exploded several minutes after touchdown - see it here: videos.space.com/m/bYPbUiBr/s...

Azazel aka Lucifer was Imprisoned underground alone in the desert by Jesus for corrupting the Earth before the flood of Noah's time. He is at Area 51....The angels who followed him are underground in a different place together. AZAZEL is where all our Technology and systems come from. The Vatican Jesuit Freemasons dug him up long ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ini7mYGiqKtpn7M There is a United Nations base on Mt Hermon where the Fallen angels descended that followed Lucifer aka Azazel when they came and corrupted the Earth kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIayZZyud5d3i5o the Book of Enoch chapter 10 verses 4-7: And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgement, he shall be cast into the fire. That Dudael is now Nevada at Area 51. The Earth is also Flat with a clear dome called the firmament above the dome is water above the water is the heavens. The Sun moon and so called planets and stars are just lights moving around above us. Jesus Christ is the only way to have eternal life. He's returning soon the Rapture is near. He loves you...

[@redwater4778]

hey George. Hows it going

[@TransoceanicOutreach]

Rockets could land vertically in the early 90's, this is not a new thing. It was not a commercially viable technology back then, so NASA stopped funding further research. The Delta Clipper did a successful landing back in 1993. It was on the news around the world. It seems to have been forgotten.

[@s.c.random2843]

Well, vertical launches were inspired by Flash Gordon comics. Submarines were known for the public by the works of Julius Verne and his Captain Nemo adventures. It's sad that we're far away from 2001 Space Odyssey or Star Trek.

[@gregor1O1]

The uniform silver steel haul creates the effect of it looking like cgi. It's too smooth and homogeneous for our eyes compared to something more gritty like the Space Shuttle. Compare the look of all the failed attempts/explosions. The visual effect is always the same. And btw, SpaceX isn't tax funded.

[@spo5egy]

[@MaNNeRz91]

@@gregor1O1 I think the frame rate changes too giving it a "cutscene" type feel. Possible filters on the camera because of the light glare too? 🤷🏻‍♂️. Ive watched it a hundred times it just boggles my mind 😆😆 the little flash of light from the booster as it adjusts position.. the movement of the boosters kind of reminds me of the eye of sauron from lord of the rings.
