Wow! SpaceX Starship re-enters Earth's atmosphere during 6th flight, splashes down!

[@ianmilton9587]

Amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing these.

No problem. We are here for you man.

Amazing work, SpaceX! Crazy views, thanks to starlink!

[@JohnFoerster-i5y]

This is amazing to experience the views from a spacecraft as it reenters the atmosphere of our planet in this testing of new technologies and techniques. What a wonderful time to be alive!

[@NeedsLessWedge]

Thanks. Got home late. Missed live and didn't want to hear a bunch of other streamers commentary. This was exactly what I was looking for.

[@westsparks6844]

Didn't think I would ever live long enough to see something like this. Just incredible!

What is the temperature difference between the heat shield and the other side when the starship re-enters the atmosphere?

[@fideliaguillen3001]

I will try to get a ticket to view the launch nearer I parked along Boca Chica Highway about 15 miles from SpaceX. It was still an awesome sight.

[@enterprise59]

Why would you NOT want to recover "Ship" ? Did I miss what she said? By not recovering Ship, you leave China or Russia the chance to salvage it.

[@JohnFoerster-i5y]

They should reconsider recovery of this tested prototype, for analysis. And to prevent it falling into nefarious hands.

[@robertlafnear7034]

This is a much different view compared to the OLD Black & White T.V. shots of Friendship 7 from "The Old Days way back when"...... really a different world today for sure..... Really Cool !

[@mjjones8216]

When are we going to see this starship captured by the tower ? They did mention it on another broadcast that this was going to happen !

[@JamesJohannes-l6w]

They did catch the booster, which you can look up. This is the whole thing by the sound of things.

[@DalHrusk]

SpaceX must design catching hardware in the first place. Heat shield tiles are brittle so, it will be tricky to make that hardwate heat resistant while strong. During this flight, they gathered data for this task.

[@twinkieerella]

Maybe second starship version 2 flight

[@unapersonacualquiera4352]

i'd say they are going to catch the starship by mid to late 2025, but that is just my prediction, it could be 2026.

[@alswamprat]

Great views!

[@elwisnow]

Starship after splashdown turns into a Watership submarine. Bravo Musk!

[@josee4283]

why is this good? is the rocket lost??

[@betornween]

Spectacular views. Is anyone going to address the fire after it was in the water? Looks like the heat shields reached their end of usefulness.

[@JohnFoerster-i5y]

They're going to have to try and figure out what they can do to fix that problem, so they can do a better job on the next series of test flights and eventually get this beast of a rocket to be reliably and rapidly reusable enough to put humans on board.

[@MCFC248]

LOL Imagine the fish in that water and what they were thinking

[@MikeAllin336]

[@moranih]

[@chadnuts]

It's all done to get Data from the vehicle so they can improve on the next iteration and eventually catch it without incidents.

[@JohnFoerster-i5y]

It carried a single banana 🍌

[@JohnFoerster-i5y]

It was a test flight to test if it is possible to survive intact and safe enough to one day carry humans to and back again from space, the moon, and eventually mars. And even to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. This was a test of a prototype rocket designed to be fully and rapidly reusable.

[@ricchamen6304]

This can be covered or protected without tiles I have successfully covered objects and fully cast them with 1250’Celsius Just DM me Elon. I reply to Linkedin adds and you don’t get back. With my protective coatings you won’t need new tiles ever. Merely ONE version of cost just after build. Then straight to launch 🚀. This is partial to Launch 🚀 Catch;Launch.

[@fs3579]

How do they have a camera on the outside that can stand the heat and shows no vibrations and then it goes in the water with nothing there then they immediately cut to a camera in the water????? Something stinks about this!!!!

[@kamxam1384]

Because the camera on board is in a heat-resistant shell. The camera on the water is on a nearby buoy.

[@betornween]

The camera were likely still running but they switch to cameras, remotely operated on barges to show the ship floating. OH! And the heat shields were on fire! THAT they didn't address conveniently enough.

something fishy here. it says altitude is 42 km high and yet its showing the side curviture of the eath. well i will tell you nowthats impossible

[@jtheriot51]

Please explain….?

[@ReynoldsJer]

do some research, tourists in Russia can ride a mig29 which flys up to 22km in altitude and can you see a glimpse of earth curvature, so 40km is high enough

[@Bogey84]

It’s literally a fish-eye lens. You can clearly see that based on the shape of the flaps.

[@robcat2075]

Wide-angle lens distorts image.

[@Bogey84]

Then I guess that gives irrefutable evidence that the earth is flat 😒 Is it so hard to conceive after catching a 300-ton tube out of the sky a month ago? Or was that fake as well?

[@teddy2020-v3o]

Why are the Americans using French measurements instead of their own ?

They’re engineers. Even American SAE units are all based on metric anyway. Only laypeople insist on using them. Engineers know better.

[@sues3218]

You seriously need to do your research. Last time he caught the BOOSTER. This time it was the actual STARSHIP that just had a precision landing, which is the first step into figuring out how to catch it. Do you have any idea the size of that starship? Nobody has ever managed to launch one that gigantic successfully, let alone land it with that kind of precision. Don't be lazy, go do proper research before making ignorant comments on youtube. (just sayin')
