THIS is the view I've been waiting for. I hoped they would show this one on the broadcast instead of 30 hours later on TwiX, but it's good now. Thanks TLP for getting these clips on the better platform
Making very very difficult things look easy is the real Art inside of Engineering. As momentous as this one singular event is, it's true impact will only be apparent after these catches become mundane and unremarkable in the context of the magnificent things being accomplished with all that cheap lift capacity. This truly is a gateway moment, but gateways become incidental after you pass through into the new landscape beyond.
@@Increase_altthe FTS was safed at about T+8 minutes. The ship fell over and got crushed under its own weight, basically, leading to tank ruptures and an explosion
@fosstera well, yeah, but if you watched other ytbers you'd know that this actually was fts and it went off to prevent damage in the oceans surface. And other "milliary" atuff
Yeah the arms are programmed to close a bit then hold until the chines are out the way, then close to the smooth part of the booster slides against it as the nubs make contact, then its lowered every so slightly to absorb the shock
Can we get a full length video from launch to catch? I know there are cameras all over starship and it would be great to be able to view the footage uncut here on youtube !
There was a WB-57 NASA reconnaissance aircraft in the air for this flight and so we may soon get some footage from that in a few days, or never if the footage shows something which could violate ITAR regulations.
Is there an invisible string attached? How the hell it homed back at the tower? Does it have steering during free fall? Confounded, looked like a giant log or lit cigarette.
It seams the bumper did not work properly. I mean the vertical velocity of the booster was already at zero when the bumpers move down. It seams that the flexibility of the shopstick absorbs all the remaining kinetic energy of the booster. I guess it was not totally the plan.
If you look, the bumpers lower a little, but this was probably because like you said, the booster was at 0 velocity/ or even had barely any velocity so they didn’t lower as much since less pressure was put on them
@LoonlarX They expedited the launch license after huge pressure from multiple government agencies. At the beginning of last week, they were adamant about it being another two weeks.
Fantastic! A beautiful thing to see over and over again.

Wow seeing that sonic boom propagate through the clouds is awesome!

Well said!
As the saying goes: "This is the worst version it will ever be"
What a mavel and miracle of engineering Space X has made, can't wait for the future!
I love how you can see the shockwave from the sonic boom on the water below at 0:07
Smoooooooooooth
Like butter.
Incredible..
keep waiting to see what vids they'll release next... love them
Epstein island
Ok that's amazing
This angle made me realize that it is more difficult than I thought.
Hoping we get the bouy cam for S30’s landing
We did see the FTS go off on that cam😅

So smooth, impressive
Live stream gave me goosebumps
Amazing. That's what vision, hard work and dedication yield.
Ya gotta love it!!! Wow!!! Amazing!!! They make it look so easy!!! Huge step forward in spacecraft engineering and technology!!! Historic!!!
a thing of beauty
I thought I saw a little squeeze-shimmy there at the last minute. Looks like I was right.
Yeah the arms are programmed to close a bit then hold until the chines are out the way, then close to the smooth part of the booster slides against it as the nubs make contact, then its lowered every so slightly to absorb the shock
I will never give up. Brawo Elon
So clean
The amount of precision this takes is unfathomable to me
there are no words
Like they've done it a hundred times before... beautiful.
This is history 😊
Boom, sticks the landing!
didnt see this live thanks great view
Like a glove
Amazing. Go SpaceX!
!!! UNREAL !!!! 😯😯😯
Amazing, simply amazing, Hand Salute!
Awesome what a view… so incredible to have all these angles, thank you for sharing here.
Cool
I'm speechless
Fantastic!
Amazingly Brilliant 1st attempt at the Miyagi Maneuver 🗼 🥢🚀🤘👌👍
Very cool to see from this angle
Wow, amazing. Look at the shickwaves resonating out over the clouds.
Can't believe they caught that thing and I'm using a fork on this spring roll...
AMAZING VIEW
Can we get a full length video from launch to catch? I know there are cameras all over starship and it would be great to be able to view the footage uncut here on youtube !
Ready to fly again !.
Wow!
Wow
One for the History books!
how are you guys getting these videos? nobody else has it
It was freakin smooth for the first try
Slapp that booster! Go on, GIT SOME! nice....
That’s impossible. I saw it. They did it. I’m stunned.
The rocket has been slapped.
Dude how heavy is that thing? Just blows my mind! Keep up your awesomeness Elon! Would love to work for a guy so dedicated to doing the impossible!
Around 220-250T, roughly.
@@archierush868 Add in the residual fuel for landing probably over 300 tons
Right in the middle!
A bit like threading a needle using only chopsticks
those fins reminds me of the bunker buster bomb lol
Such crazy precision! Let’s ditch the chopsticks in the next version. Just hover, refill, stack the next ship on top, and let go.
What kind of camera are they using?
That has got to be the most expensive trust fall
Yeah.. and a very explosive fall if the booster doesn’t get caught.
I thought it was resting on the grid fins.
The pegs did bent BTW, slightly but they did, so, thats not something that could be reused repeatedly.
Chopsticks catching a massive rocket? Seems impossible, but here we are.
Why no view from higher up?
There was a WB-57 NASA reconnaissance aircraft in the air for this flight and so we may soon get some footage from that in a few days, or never if the footage shows something which could violate ITAR regulations.
here we see a 70m x 9m wide skyscraper precisely maneuver itself between two giant metal arms, so that two tiny metal pins can allow it to be caught.
SpaceX... Making the 'impossible' look easy.
Those aren't clouds. It flew back through it's own launch plume.
Fuckin nuts. Bravo
Is there an invisible string attached? How the hell it homed back at the tower? Does it have steering during free fall? Confounded, looked like a giant log or lit cigarette.
The metal rectangular thing that’s moving is a grid fin which helps control the booster during landing
The last nail in the coffin of Russian cosmonautics. The last nail in the coffin of Rogozin's reputation😅
no fking way LOOOOL
I want sound
Elon's got good chopstick skills
Like Bruce Lee catching a fly.
It seams the bumper did not work properly. I mean the vertical velocity of the booster was already at zero when the bumpers move down. It seams that the flexibility of the shopstick absorbs all the remaining kinetic energy of the booster. I guess it was not totally the plan.

No sound 😢
I thought it was the fin that Made contact
There are no fins on super heavy!
@@lanemedcalf9506I believe they are referring to the grid fins
Perfection, congratulations Elon and all of the Space-X team.
I already know that super heavy has a tiny landing leg
Elon can do just about anything
This is what russian space agency call a broomsticks. Tell them Spacex caught a broomstick with a chopsticks.
most watched video in China and Europes Ariane crew
You know Elon is proud as a peacock
I think they can do this with 3 grid fins and possibly 2.
If the skin is made of aluminium that's already torn off
Incredible feet
feat
You make it easier for China to copy every detail. They've already patented(in China) every aspect of Starship's appearance.
Eh, they won’t reach this point for at least 10-15 years. By that point space x will be way further ahead
Just like landing a helicopter
the people at ULA watched this and went "meh...."
In your face FAA
the faa approved this
@LoonlarX They expedited the launch license after huge pressure from multiple government agencies. At the beginning of last week, they were adamant about it being another two weeks.
this is SO FAKE! They just played it backwards - any other explanation would be just too crazy! ;-)
no.
Yeah, that’s not true. Go look at any other view of it. The engine plume is even affected by gravity and the velocity of it going down.
