That Flap Deserves a Medal.
What's left of it does
Yes,...stronger flaps !!!
@@koobra87 Absolutely. Wounded but not destroyed...
Two flaps.
The camera designer doesn't
Earth's Atmosphere: It's not possible.
Little Starship flap: No, it's necessary.
Come on TARS
Held on for dear life
If SpaceX is going to have a museum that flap should be in it
Flap "I'm melting, I'm melting"
Ship "HOLD....HOLD...HOLD"
Ship "We're almost there, We're almost there, hold on for oneeee moreee minnn...... There, see we made it."
Flap "Speak for yourself "
I watched Neil Armstrong take the first walk on the moon... live. This never gets old. Unbelievable. Well done SpaceX team.
Me too
I’m 25 and I hope to see the first human walk on Mars
Same@@brantuga9915
In Hollywood?
@@hosecaramicas3395 There's always one in every group. 🙃
I'm impressed that it maneuvered and "landed" with so much obvious damage to the flap. That's quality engineering
Did it land? Seemed to belly flop at the end and I haven't seen footage of the landing.
No that's not quality engineering. But just stupid luck.
@@tompouceful I'd say quality engineering is when the flap's hinges have redundancy to the point where it can still land with half a flap. Using stainless steel was not a mistake, in hindsight.
@@tompouceful No, that's extremely great engineering. The engineers just didn't know how good a job they did. Now they do.
And so do you, genius.
@@tompouceful I think you're just stupid.
It launched on a bed of water, it landed on a bed of water.
Flappy and the camera were an awesome duo.
The flap designer needs a raise
Fire him. The space vehicle😢 cannot be used again because of the burned flaps. Elon musk is not going to reward failure.
@@robertbolding4182 Huh? you realize this was a test, right?
Still going to need a redesign. That won't be acceptable down the road.
@@robertbolding4182 You clearly have not done anything hard in life. Without failure there is no advancing. Failure is part how we all get better and improve. And the vehicle can be used again just change and improve the flap lol.... Clearly you have not seen Elon Musk happy and congratulating everyone on spacex. Does that look like he is not rewarding failure?
For those who don't know, there are only three more starships near completion. After that they will build the version 2 starship which will have different flap design.
I was genuinely half expecting the flap to just straight up fall off, but it held on for dear life lol.
"External temperatures are starting to come down..."
The Flap (in John Cena's voice): "ARe YoU SUre aBoUT ThAt?!"
The (dynamic) pressure was increasing though, and heat transfer. But it not only held, but didn't even jam and was still controllable. Even the position sensors might've been working still.
I'm depressed and life has been quite hard.
But after watching what this flap went through, I'm now motivated! lol
Watching SpaceX launch the Starship is so cool !! I say again, this NEVER gets old !!!!
A reminder how amazing the Space shuttle was with its heat shield and it took NASA many years to understand a design that would work. Re-entry is brutal and maybe what incredible via Starship and Starlink we get to see what's never been seen before.
Not to open an old wound, but seeing the burn through on that flap shows what would have happened to Columbia during its re-entry into the atmosphere. Amazing that the starship flap held up like it did though.
Validates the choice of stainless steel construction, I'd say. I know that probably wasn't an option for the Shuttle; that was more failures of a different sort.
That’s what I thought of too. Avenged Columbia on this flight.
The cameraman never dies. The flap survived thanks to the Camera.
Starship landed with its flap still melting… unbelievable! It can save lives alright, very sturdy spacecraft!
The moment when you could clearly see the flap activating intentionally and working: Priceless.
Edge of the seat viewing I almost cried
Excitment for Starship is pushing the boundaries... Excitement for Starliner is a neverending stream of mishaps and messes.
That was flappin good ^^
That would be a nice t-shirt: "Test Flight 4 - Flappin' Good"
It was flippity flappin fantastic!
Flaptastic!
The camera man truly never dies.
Love how clear of an image we get of the flap at 21:24 as if it was consciously showing us it did in fact survive!
Others show you CGI, Space X shows you the real thing, warts and all. Incredible.
That’s insane that you could actually see the starship tip in to the ocean
right!
I like how they said more than 5 times the speed of sound, It actually re enters the atmosphere at mach 19. 19 times the speed of sound
Everyone seems so happy. I love it. What a beautiful site. I’m not even really sure what’s going on.
Just deception
ARTEMIS II RAHHHH
@@rooxynala841 True. Earth's flat.
@@Hamster1022 non lo so ma ci nascondono la verità
@@rooxynala841 It's flat trust. I am truth.
The little steel flap that did.
21:14 just crazy moment
Exactly: "oh my god, it's still there- holy smokes it's actuating- woah it worked!"
I was yelling at the screen! Never, ever seen anything like it.
🦾🤕
spaceX's metal forging process
Every astronaut, cosmonaut, and whatever other countries nickname their zero-gravity professionals, are now thinking: "I want that thing!".
That's how epic this test was. It's a total revolution - and I saw it live on X! So I was there when it happened! (Kind of ;)
Flap is MVP but definitely needs an upgrade
GIVE THE CREW WHO BUILT THOSE FLAPS A RAISE!!!
the falling apart of the flap brought memory of space shuttle Columbia breakup during re-entry phase. our thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of those great astronauts.
incredible flap!
Incredible. The next obvious upgrade is a camera wiper
The AI: im damaged... BUT I CAN STILL -FIGHT- LAND!
As Obi-Wan said: "Not to worry, we are still flying half a ship" 😁
The cheering reminds me of a laugh track in a sitcom.
Incredible! Immense visual data acquired too.
What makes one step a giant leap is all the steps before
This is insane. Ship the size of a tall apartment complex flying down at thousands of kilometers with insane temperatures on the surface. Even one of the flaps gets absolutely beat up and it still works
20:48 They prefered a landing burn instead of not landing. What a great decision! Thanks SPACEX!
its on their flight programs. so if no terminal fault occur the program would probably continue on its pre-planed mission.
Amazing work!! Starship is going to be a real game changer. You are the best in the world, SpaceX. Congratulations!
Success for space X 👏 a good day today 😊
Flap has a stronger bond than most relationships
Can't wait to see the mars reentry livestream
Well done, Flappy McFlapface! Love from Scotland.
Flap is the safest place on the ship.
Burn through on that flap and they still got it down, flipped and in the ocean. GG engineers!
I cried like a baby with huge goosebumps
Flaps - please hold on - amazing 🎇
Congratulations for the whole engineering team! What a feat!
I Feel proud of humanity
Great job!Proud of SpaceX
Absolutely amazing!
As my brother just said "Elon really has not nailed the difference between rocketry and fireworks." Great show. Greater data. Someone will retrieve it from the depths and build a museum around it.
It looks like the entire run was a resounding success.
BIG UPs SPACEX CREW !!!
Those engineers made a history…🙌🙌🙌
Welldone another step ahead of success ... well landing
Amazing views of Starship re entry through a most difficult period with plasma around, a melted flap and managing still to operate and control a planned splashdown.
That speaks of superb engineering, testing and quality control. Kudos to the whole team. They now have invaluable data to chew on and improve.
It would be nice if the commentators were not gigglers who cover the real, important announcements with their enthusiasm...
I agree about the reporters, it's kind of a double-edged sword. I love hearing the enthusiasm, but I do wish they would tone the chatter down juuuust a bit. But they're really, genuinely excited, so I can't really fault them.
Good flight
the starship fought till the last KMs to go vertical
Incredible!
Tears of joy
Thats was that was impressive
Nasa should give their budget to elon.
and the US military should give their budget to nasa
How do you think SpaceX is financing a lot of this stuff?
NASA contracts...
@@nonegone7170for Starship, StarLink. Only the lunar variant is tax funded with a $2.9B contract from NASA, not this.
@@zhongxina9420 Imagine all the Ukraine funds going to something that will actually solve something..
@@zhongxina9420 Yeah, and I'm sure the terrible countries out there would just voluntarily not destroy us out of the goodness of their hearts. Are you 10 or something?
Now we know which bits of the flap we really don't need. lol.
CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS
Amazing👏
bravo and god speed scape x
You can see a burn through flair forming right about peak heating
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
"A little bit of burn through, there"
The little Flap that could!
I was hoping that the cameras would show Starship 29 zooming past the slowpoke Starliner.
Except that Starliner is in a faster/higher orbit, good plan.
That burn through @12:57
Wowwww 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 amazing 🤩
Go starship show the world your stuff
you need static discharge on the flaps i recommend thungtein rods
Battle Damage! And it still lands!!!!
The flap: “I’ll see you in the afterlife…”
Starship 29:”Not today bud”
The fuggin flap.
Primary Camera On-board problem the glass or plastic were burn and poor picture when entry burn. I recommend a Backup 2nd Camera itself popup door and auto-switch from primary camera after burn a clear picture. Good idea ? So Congratulation SpaceX and teams are well done. But little more redesign make improve to 5th version than 4th version. That amazing !!
All hail, flap!
Wow
Mindblowing...
we also want temp telemetry !
Just awesome! I'm extremely surprised there were no cameras/footage OUTSIDE the ship, showing the touchdown (?)!
There probably was gonna be footage but the ship went slightly of course by 6 miles but was still within the area where they won’t need to set off the FTS.
We did get footage of the booster from a buoy and i think the WB-57 which was the plane NASA uses to watch rockets
@@archierush868 Thanks for replying! Okay, I figured it might be something like that (being off course or whatever). Would certainly be awesome if somewhere there is some footage that will surface of that first stage making its landing. Cheers!
@@voicetubethere is footage of the booster landing viewed from a plane a few km away and a buoy a few hundred metres away
Thanks!
Are there any images of post landing or is it at the bottom of the ocean now?
Plasma at the Kármán line!
Starship Nemo!
The Little Flapper that could I I think I can I think I can
The camera view was awesome; But it would have been more incredible if SpaceX had an aircraft or at least a drone in both landing zones to beam back footage of both stages making their respective powered splashdowns; seeing as they returned relatively intact.
Many firsts were made. Even the camera stayed operational all the way to splashdown having underwent reentry. In an interview afterwards Elon Musk said he's going to add more cameras on Starship SH 5.
Another one bites the water
Now, use dragon to bring the stranded astronauts from Starliner home from the space station.
Everyone: Well everyone, we soft landed the booster at lea- IS THAT THING LANDING??
Flappy: I DIDNT HEAR NO BELL
The Little Flap That Could
Rescue the flap!
Is there any reusable part of the starship after this test?
