The recent Starship launch was such a monumental event that even people who usually couldn't care less about space rockets are buzzing with excitement, sharing their amazement at how it’s shaken up the entire space industry.
Although the liftoff was smoother and more successful than the previous four launches, the part that really grabbed people's attention was the Mechazilla midair catch of the Super Heavy booster. It was an unexpected and impressive moment, showing just how advanced SpaceX's technology has become.
But while much of the focus has been on the stunning booster catch and the soft landing of the Starship, another element of the mission deserves attention and that’s Stage Zero.
Stage Zero, which consists of the launchpad and the towering Mechazilla, played a crucial role in the success of this mission. It withstood the immense power of 33 Raptor engines and supported the midair catch of the booster.
Before the launch, there were serious concerns about whether the area beneath the launchpad could withstand the incredible force from the Raptor engines. After all, these engines produce an astonishing 16 million pounds of thrust, creating enormous stress on the ground below. In past flights, this immense force caused significant damage to the launchpad, with craters forming beneath the rocket and requiring extensive repairs.
Stage Zero was a key factor in the success of Starship flight 5. Its role wasn’t just to support the rocket during liftoff, but also to handle the midair catch of the Super Heavy booster. This infrastructure was built to manage the enormous stresses of launching and catching the world’s largest rocket, and it performed well during this latest test flight.
In the first flight, the goal was to get the rocket off the ground, so damage to the launch mount wasn’t seen as a major issue. As Musk said during that launch, if the mount survived, it was a success. There were no plans to catch the booster or attempt reusability in that flight, so the crater and damage, while significant, weren’t deal-breakers.
However, the situation was different for flight 5. This time, the mission included the critical task of catching the booster midair using the Mechazilla arms. The success of this catch depended on the booster being able to return to the launch site, hover, and be caught with precision. Any damage to the launch mount or the pad could have affected the booster’s ability to return safely and attempt the catch.
SpaceX’s recent upgrades, including a water deluge system, helped reduce the amount of erosion and damage to the pad. The deluge system floods the area under the rocket with water during launch, cooling the exhaust and preventing it from blasting away the concrete. These improvements helped prevent the kind of major damage seen in the first launch.
Even though some damage occurred, the booster was still able to return to the pad and attempt the midair catch.

A huge mobile canopy, either wheeled or on rails, can be positioned near the launch site so right after Starship liftoff it can be rolled over the launch mount then locked down on the ground to protect the launch mount from heavy booster landing flames.
In addition to sending Optimus robots on the first landing mission to Mars, not just to go along for the ride but to do some serious work, Musk should send a boring machine to land on Mars. Maybe those Optimus robots could make some underground habitats. And why not a sample return mission on this first Starship Mars landing mission.
It’s sound waves that are mitigated by the water under the rockets . Sound vibrates everything and damages stuff .
Note: The reported 15cm deflection of the mechazilla arms is a mere 6". Hardly cause for concern!
If that was an elastic deformation, it is o.k. If it was a permanent deformation something has to be strengthened.
First I've heard of a Starship failure. It looked to me like it made the landing and was already in the water when the explosions happened.
Them explosions were to get rid of the technology Elon wants to keep secret.
The people said it was supposed to explode. It was expected
You contradicting yourself, and saying false information, is why I don't watch your videos! I came to see if anything has changed, but nope. Terrible work.
Literally none of these AI videos are explaining the ACTUAL damage that occurred to the side panel of the booster. This is driving me insane.
In any case the catch still perfect
Still feels click baity..some bs but mostly correct..nothing I saw on booster dmg, but I scrolled ahead when I got bored of ai voice
Where did starship landed?
When starship exploded ! Maybe it was terminated.
Why not Berry the flaps inside the rocket body?That way , the hinges will not be overheated
Strawberry or blueberry
How, exactly, would that work?
These launches is were they get it right. What works. What doesn't. See what see what screws up, what doesn't, and what little things need tweaked. The end Result? A system that Works . On Time, Within Budget. Cutting aEdge Stuff. Like Boeing Used To Do. Let Engineers Drive The Bus. Not Beancounters!
Think of it as a multi billion dollar Hotrod.
i still belive tha explosion on sea was on purpuse
It would be better to save the heat shield for a thorough inspection.
@@gottfriedheumesser1994 HMi weas thinking if so that no one would spy on another rocket manufacturer, it is better to destroy it,fo that reason,bud i dont say it was destroyed by some mishap
@@obregr Keep dreaming nightmares!
So why do you hate Space X?
AI did it
HEY RUSSIA , HOW ABOUT THOSE BROOM STICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
