Watch the Unreleased Footage of STARSHIP IFT-2 Revealed | SpaceX Starship Rare Footage

SpaceX's IFT-2 mission, launched November 18, 2023, tested the Starship launch system with these key goals:
* Hot Staging:* Successful maneuver where some booster engines shut down mid-flight, then reignited before separating Starship, saving fuel and reducing stress.
* Near-Orbital Flight:* Starship aimed higher than the previous test, reaching ~250km but not achieving full orbit, evaluating its potential for future missions.
* Controlled Re-entry and Landings:* Both Starship and the booster aimed for controlled water landings to test heat shields and re-entry procedures.
* Unexpected Outcome:* Sadly, the Super Heavy booster exploded (RUD) during re-entry, while Starship successfully landed despite facing aerodynamic challenges.
* Overall:* Despite the booster's fate, IFT-2 gathered valuable data on Starship's performance, allowing engineers to learn and improve for future interplanetary ambitions.

@@Hungary_0987 Oops! IFT-3

Beatutiful shot. The tile issue is a big problem. I wonder if the 33 engines are causing vibrations at frequencies way above the Shuttle.

Great footage

[@help-someone-in-requirements]

Great video, thanks & i hope they'll work it out.

[@rodneylee4026]

Looks like it lost a ton of tiles on the way up

Great, just what we all wanted to hear, inspiring, annoying music over the roar of the Raptors!

What happened to starship after hot staging

[@SpaceXtudio]

Booster exploded and the ship continued on its journey to space and exploded afterward.

Who gives a fuck . They couldve sent each family in the US a check for $10 - $15 thousand dollars instead of this shit . I think the $ would be more appreciated and helpful to the people .

[@markhuebner7580]

Disappointing. The 2nd stage disassembly is the most puzzling.

[@turbobusa02]

Well they said if it had a payload it would have made it. Was all about trial and error..
