They are about 6.8 km away from the catch site. Landing burn started at 0:44 Sonic Boom came at 1:04 (20 sec later) Speed of sound = 343 m/s 343 * 20 sec = 6860 meters (6.8 km)
You’re calculating the wrong thing. It’s from burn 0:44 to hearing the burn at 1:08 (8,2km) The sonic boom happens at 0:25, arrives at clouds 0:48 and arrives at camera 1:04
The sonic boom happens at 0:24 just after it passed behind the vertical looking cloud much higher up. As the booster was traveling around the speed of sound or faster it took about the same time for the sonic boom sound to travel to the person recording as it did for the booster to reach the tower. Just like seeing lightning and then a number of seconds later you hear the thunder
233 feet tall. All together that Starship is 397 ft tall. Thats a about as tall as a 53 story building. It weighs about 10 million pounds, or 4500 metric tons.
That wasn't a sonic boom. The sonic boom was at :25 and there was only one. It seems like it was too far away to hear. The boom you could hear was the rocket motor igniting.

From supersonic to capture in less than thirty seconds. This will **never** get old. SpaceX has put excitement back into spaceflight. I haven't felt like this since the Apollo days.
As a 61 year old having seen the moon landing on TV , this is amazing to me, I am moved to tears by this. This is bigger than we know . NASA ,What have you been doing for the last 55 years?
What has NASA been doing for 55 years? Proving the economic argument for why government agencies will NEVER be as efficient as private enterprise. Put it this way: NASA is obligated money for simply existing, they might get more if they work hard and get humanity a big win, but politicking may simply block their budget raise or even decrease it. SpaceX and private space enterprises NEED to innovate, push themselves to the limit, and do the impossible in order to even exist, because they need to prove themselves to investors and the public that they are competent and capable of great things.
I know what you mean! I remember getting up early in the morning and watching the Apollo lift off on our black and white TV. Today's launch and recovery blows that out of the water! Can't wait till SpaceX goes to the Moon!
I'm 67 years old. As a little boy, I saw the first American, Alan Sheppard, launch into space and over the years I've watched most launches. A few moments ago I watched the SpaceX team successfully catch the Super Heavy Booster with the "chopsticks" at Boca Chica, Texas. That was hands down as impactful as Neil Armstrong landing on the Moon.
I'm slightly behind you by a decade. ("I'm exactly as old as the Star Trek franchise" I joke - "I'll just let you do the math yourself!" Heh. :D ) I'd say in terms of what it meant and means for the future - one of the Apollo astronauts perhaps said it best - it was almost like Kennedy gave his life to bring a decade from the 21st century within the decade of the 60s just in terms of what could be done. Just to SHOW US. Give us a little taste. But because the spell could never last - it was only a taste. It was beautiful. We accomplished so much. And the non-manned robotic craft we sent to the outer planets kept the dream alive - if dormant. Yes - we could touch the Moon. But we couldn't stay. This is the TRUE future! The point at which things REALLY start to get rolling in terms of spaceflight! THIS time we'll be able to go colonize the planets. And THIS time we'll STAY.

The only breakthrough her is IN THE SOFTWARE they used!! You guys need to think bigger. We’re capable of so much more than this.
I grew up in Florida watching Shuttle/Rocket launches and Shuttle Returns. The double sonic booms the Shuttle created shook everything BOOM BOOM, this vid you took gave me nostalgia of that and I completely understand the excitement and experience you had. There’s nothing like it, the adrenaline you get, the dopamine rush, the excitement for the future of humanity. Great video!
The Mechazilla catch is great and all but what really amazes me is seeing all the people enjoying the incredible moment with their own two eyes instead of holding their phones up in the air like they're at a Taylor Swift concert. There's hope for humanity.
I was 15 when humans landed on and stepped foot on the moon. I watched it live with several of my friends. When they landed and stepped out on the moon, we ran outside, looked up at the moon and we were all silent. My friend Mark, finally said 'Wow... Humans have set foot on the moon.' What made it even better, when we went back into the house, we were hearing and seeing people all over the world who shared the same feelings of awe and wonder at what humans had accomplished. It really felt and seemed like the world's People were one for a while. That was a very good and hopeful feeling for a brighter future for all.
I’m 20, it sounds selfish to say this but I want that moment for myself so badly. I cant imagine seeing the first landing live… and being able to see them go back. I would do anything to be in that living room watching the first one live

Beautiful shot! You can see the booster almost coming to a standstill in midair, getting its bearings and then goes on to move itself between the tower arms.Marvellous.
But it's even more amazing that it landed on the 2 pins and not damage the fins. Absolutely amazing. I've tried to go to bed but i can't stop thinking about it. Guess i picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue😂
Yeah and that's mostly a safety maneuver to minimize damage to the tower. Videos don't even do it justice, the shear scale is mind boggling. A building just fell from space at supersonic speed, stopped in mid air and then caught by a crane.
@@TD_YT066 Someone else compared it to the tower of pisa which really puts it into perspective. The booster is ~50 ft taller and wider than the inner diameter (base is ~50 ft).
Blown away by the sheer audacity to not only believe they could do it, but to actually make it happen - Falcon 9 to Starship. This is how humanity has made all of its greatest advances...a few people believe and go do it. From two brothers flying the first powered airplane near Kitty Hawk in 1903 to catching an enormous booster returning to the earth near Boca Chica in only 121 years. Extra bonus - pure joy in the crowd watching other people accomplish something amazing. Well done all involved - keep it up, we need you to succeed!
@ 0:24 the speed was 3000 Km/hr. and when it relight it was around 1000 Km/hr. and when only 3 engines were on, it was only 200km/hr. That is amazing!!

This angle is better than the official Space X footage. It really shows the freefall all the way until the last second, and it allows me to really appreciate that the thrust is powerful enough to displace the atmosphere to the extent that it slows down something so massive. Can't wait for Musk to get into the govt so he can finally get a look at the details of the gravity-displacement drive that Bob Lazar has described from his time analyzing UAP at S4. Forget fossil fuels, next gen Starship will fold space like the Guild Navigators from Dune!
It's insane the engineering that went into designing this. And the fact that it's not just a simulation, it's a huge rocket that makes an amazing sound like that when it lands. And does it with inch perfection. I really wish I watched this live.
quite exciting, lucky to see that live. I loved the force of the exhaust ripping through the launch plume. and when it reflected off the ground and hit it again.

Beautiful shot! You can see the booster almost coming to a standstill in midair, getting its bearings and then goes on to move itself between the tower arms.Marvellous.
But it's even more amazing that it landed on the 2 pins and not damage the fins. Absolutely amazing. I've tried to go to bed but i can't stop thinking about it. Guess i picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue😂
Yeah and that's mostly a safety maneuver to minimize damage to the tower. Videos don't even do it justice, the shear scale is mind boggling. A building just fell from space at supersonic speed, stopped in mid air and then caught by a crane.
Wow 233 Ft tall, 30 ft diameter and around 700,000 lbs mostly empty. And they caught it on the first try!
@@TD_YT066 Someone else compared it to the tower of pisa which really puts it into perspective. The booster is ~50 ft taller and wider than the inner diameter (base is ~50 ft).
Thrust vectoring
The greatest show on Earth.
Not seen anything like that since Thunderbirds 😊
And off it!!!
What about Kurt Warner and the Rams?
Blown away by the sheer audacity to not only believe they could do it, but to actually make it happen - Falcon 9 to Starship. This is how humanity has made all of its greatest advances...a few people believe and go do it. From two brothers flying the first powered airplane near Kitty Hawk in 1903 to catching an enormous booster returning to the earth near Boca Chica in only 121 years. Extra bonus - pure joy in the crowd watching other people accomplish something amazing. Well done all involved - keep it up, we need you to succeed!
Can't get enough of this. Been watching every angle haha
This the best angle I've seen so far😮!
Scott Manley's video has a view of the catch from the top of the tower.
@dougaltolan3017 I saw just saw his video. I like this wide angle shot more because it puts everything in a better perspective.
i know right. Dont know why we dont have an official continuous take like this
Still managed to miss the ignition though. There needs to be a proper wide angle shot somewhere!
@@CIinbox Still not bad considering the guy was using a phone and probably trying to watch it for himself too.
Wow, great energy in that crowd. All those nerds must've gotten up a the crack of dawn. Wish I would've been there too.
Jokes on you, we never went to sleep
Those were spacex employees. Might've been the ones that built that rocket and the previous starships and boosters
Sonic boom as soon as it landed. Fucking epic. Every single person there has a core memory now.
@ 0:24 the speed was 3000 Km/hr. and when it relight it was around 1000 Km/hr. and when only 3 engines were on, it was only 200km/hr. That is amazing!!
Thank you for this. That perspective was what I was missing from watching the Everyday Astronaut Feed. So cool to see a different perspective.
Now *THAT’S* how to make an entrance!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is history. ❤
That's never going to get old
well..until they do it every day
nah... I really doubt that... Have you seen the shock absorbers on the arms? It's absolutely crazy engineering. @@Nuke-MarsX
I wish more people were like these people.
up, best view of them all, a little bit of everything else too like the crowd's energy. Thanks for posting this!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow that was awesome how the boom arrived at the catch! And the burn starts as it seemed it would slam into the earth. Just insane.
thing was comin' down like a f'ing cruise missile at first! So insane! Just hit the brakes and parallel parked lmao
More like a building pretending to be a missile. This booster is MASSIVE.
@@JJFX- Exactly. So a cruise missile..the size of a building. NBD
@@DistantThunder89 I'm not aware a cruise missile out there that's close to being ~230 feet tall, ~30 feet wide and ~8M+ lbs (fully loaded) but if there is please tell me.
@@JJFX- that booster is taller than the Tower of Pisa
@@thisisobviouslynotmyrealname Yeah that's a really good comparison. It's wider than the inner diameter too.
bro.. the sonic boom shockwaves visually pushing through the clouds!!
Thank you sir that was a VERY clear shot and an angle of the full descent I had not previously seen. KUDOS!
Peaceful Skies
Absolutely unreal. To the people that make this possible you are modern day heroes
0:51 the clouds
EPIC. Welcome to the future everyone.
Future of what? This will have zero impact on your life
@@VoltLover00 you are fucking braindead if you think this wont impact our lives.
@VoltLover00 it will increase your taxes.
@@spazzymacgee5648 Xpacex is private company not owned by Govt.
@@VoltLover00 use you brain brother he says welcome to the "Future" i know you know what he means unless your idiot brother
This angle is better than the official Space X footage. It really shows the freefall all the way until the last second, and it allows me to really appreciate that the thrust is powerful enough to displace the atmosphere to the extent that it slows down something so massive.
Can't wait for Musk to get into the govt so he can finally get a look at the details of the gravity-displacement drive that Bob Lazar has described from his time analyzing UAP at S4. Forget fossil fuels, next gen Starship will fold space like the Guild Navigators from Dune!
Thank you, for sharing that Moment with us. I hope you all had fun there, to see that live.
It's insane the engineering that went into designing this. And the fact that it's not just a simulation, it's a huge rocket that makes an amazing sound like that when it lands. And does it with inch perfection. I really wish I watched this live.
Within 1/5th of an inch actually. Almost unbelievable 😮.
That is absolutely incredible!
thank you for sharing
that got to be so great to watch in person, i got goosebumps just watching wooow!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That near perfect timing with the sonic boom and the catch is so cool
This view of the capture complements space x 's videos quite well, can clearly see the decel and shock waves and pin point landing.
This is the future baby!! I am so damn excited... From India.. 🇮🇳
You deserve all the TH-cam views for this! Thanks for sharing...
I still can't believe SpaceX made it on the first try. I wish I'd also been there to witness the historic moment.
Great job with the video. Really brings it home how big and fast that thing is.
This is one of the best videos I have seen !
The falcons, now starship doing the impossible, but now possible.
Truly inspiring, and incredible, and awsome, and,,,bloody hell, wooohoooo.😮😊
quite exciting, lucky to see that live. I loved the force of the exhaust ripping through the launch plume. and when it reflected off the ground and hit it again.
HUGE props to the camera guy
What an amazing achievement and what a great capture, thanks.
Fantastic video. We watched it live yesterday, but the crowds reaction made it so much better. Must have been an amazing atmosphere. Great Video.
In Europe we also innovate! We have recently invented plastic caps that stay attached to the bottles when opened!!
😐
that might come in handy in zero gravity
that shit is so fucking annoying.
Oh you mean those push-in/pull-out caps we had since the early 2000s?
Tanks you for uploading this !
I see what you did there!
CONGRATULATIONS TEAM AWESOME RESULT.
Thank you - great shot. It really shows how the final maneuvers are taking 15 seconds - not at all what I expected
Looked amazing to see it coming to a complete stop before parking in between the chopsticks!
I watched this in 3 different videos by now. I still watch this with my eyes and mouth open wide. 😮
