@@YuriPetrovich That's what people said for the Falcon 9 until it was able to launch and land perfectly. Based on your last name may I assume you are a butt-hurt Russian who longs for the days of the Soviet Union when Russia stil mattered in the world?
Love that attention to detail and that was amazing. Seeing that stack go up past the launch tower gave me “21st Century Saturn V” chills. Can’t wait to see this for real in 2022!
@@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882 Yeah, I know that. Just the ignition of the second stage (the Starship) happens at an almost parallel orbit with Earth surface, while stage sep happens in a rather different angle (there is a bit too large diff between the velocity vectors), but this is only a feeling, and it doesn't matter, the animation is just super great. :)
The snapping back of the booster quick release and the slamming shut of it's hood showed just how much thought was put into the detail of this animation. Awesomely done!
Pretty cool. Should dub in some Mission Control call-outs. I'm glad this one didn't RUD, destroy Stage 0 and blow out windows in Port Isabel... my biggest fear.
@@sammadison1172 I’m kinda worried about that I mean there is a possibility that starship could explode on launch from the vibration of the engines and the lack of water suppression system
This is an incredible render, the only thing I think will be slightly inaccurate is the moment the Chopsticks catch the booster. It seems pretty violent here. Starship is not the Falcon 9, part of the reason they can't test this system on the Falcon 9 is that the Merlin engine is too powerful to let the empty booster hover, even at idle throttle. But the Starship booster is so heavy, and the thrust fraction of the Raptor is much smaller, so it will be able to hover. It's 100 tons of steel SpaceX is trying to stop, they will want to scrub off any speed they can. If they don't, it'll be converted into torque on the Chopsticks, and snap them off like they really did get the from your local sushi restaurant.
Each chopstick will definitely gently meet its side of the booster. The chopsticks won't move the booster until it is firmly in their grasp. Once the booster is spun into the correct orientation and distance from the tower, it will be moved in a gentle, almost parabolic arc to the launch pad or transfer stand. It won't be a perfect parabola because the last few meters into the pad will be straight down. They will use a path that minimizes torque on the booster. They do not want the booster to swing. At least that will be how they move boosters when they are in a hurry. For the first catch, they might move things very slowly and just one axis at a time, as animated here. On the other hand, any collision strong enough to bend a chopstick will crumple the booster. The booster skin is between 3 and 4mm, while the walls of the steel tubes in the chopsticks are much thicker. The booster skin is stretched tight by the internal tank pressure and it is a tougher alloy. These strengthen the booster walls, but not nearly enough to prevent bending first in a collision with the chopsticks.
It was an amazing animation, but I agree that landing on the chop sticks wasnt quite right. No way it'll hit that hard. SH will most likely nullify all the velocity before touching the grab arms. I would also bet it comes down off-center and translates laterally into the chop sticks as they close. Not exactly fuel efficient, but efficiency isnt what SS is being designed for.
I agree, I few things I believe would be different: QD arm might only disconnect at the very last second before lift off, probably after ignition, otherwise the stack is not stable enough. Landing burn should reduce booster velocity to 0 and I think the booster will do the same dog leg movement as Falcon 9, and will most likely arrive on the chopsticks from the front and hover before the arms closing. Otherwise, amazing job overall!
Simply awe inspiring ! I never thought that a piece of computer animation would have the power to make the hair on the back of the neck stand up like this does !
currently when boosters land on either the landing pad or landing ship they are quite accurate but this takes accurate to another level, it has to be perfectly in between the arms so that when the arms close it doesn’t crash or explode. I cant wait for when this all goes down. Biggest moment in history!
@@user-yd4rn4ez6m I think all or nothing. A rud during landing won't take down the tower, maybe the arms but they are replaceable... With great difficulty
Plot twist- SpaceX is actually modeling their designs and plans after C-Bass’ creativity. Love this video. This could be my morning inspiration video.❤️
When you look at it, you think :”nah, thats not going to happen”. But it will happen ! SpaceX is totally mind blowing. When i first saw the Falcon rockets come back on the offshore platforms, i was in awe…..
Looks totally impossible... So, as usual, I will be looking forward to it irl. Never underestimate SpaceX, it will happen. Great animation by the way, awesome!
Your team always produces the best and most up to date animations! Incredible how many changes we've seen in just the last 5 months. I hope SpaceX figures out how to visually document reentry, but not sure how it's even possible. Thanks for your top notch work, - sharing this update with many part time space fans.
Wow!! Super impressive!! It almost looks real, and a lot like what i imagine the real launch would look like!! Great work, I'm really impressed, that was awesome!!!!
Can you do one more with men holding onto various parts of the rockets (fins etc) just to help get a sense of scale... I just can't visualize how big this thing is without a reference! It would be fun to see too! Maybe they all jump for it as it hits the chop sticks! Put some fun into it!
Amazing that someone actually conceptualized this thing, and the designers and engineers actually converted this from concept to reality! I really do hope it works, and works well!
I sincerely hope all the wanna-be TH-camrs that have been using seriously out-of-date renders find their way to this magnificent animation, and pay you handsomely for the privilege. Very, very well done.
THAT. WAS. SO. GOOD. This is a very up to date take on Starship and Booster thinking - QD arms, Raptor Boost covers....i think i detected a double ignition (RBoost followed by the inner 9?) in the flame push at launch, Starship looked perfect. Grid fins staying horizontal throughout launch. Aero covers on the COPVs for booster. You even has Stage 1 / Stage 2 seperation rotation in there.....sweet. Only....only critisism of a beautiful piece of animation was that i dont think Booster will come back in that quickly intentionally. I think they will aim to do almost a hover slam at the top of the tower to arrest descent speed to 1-2 m/s and then match descent speed down the tower with the catch arms and once booster and arms are matched in speed only then will the arms will close in to catch. We will see soon(ish!)
@@danyboy86 Hi, becasue when the grid fin is horizontal to airflow, its resistance to the air is negligable. So SpaceX intend to allow the grid fins to self telt on the way up to present least resistance. On the way down they will be under power so can turn into the airstream to create angel changes for the ship. The point is, by not having 4 mechanisms to retract each gridfin against the body they save significant weight, more mass I expect than the mass of extra propellant required to overcome the slight drag losses on the way up. Hope that makes sense
The thrust vector will be creating an area of negative pressure adjacent to the raptors during ascent, so I think it's accurate that the vapors floating around there would get sucked in and blasted down the middle. Will be interesting if any ground facing cameras on the side of the vehicle pick this up.
amazing ... thought the QD arm should be attached until just before launch ... maybe you haven't figured out quite how it works yet .. agree that catch looked off .. Elon did say that they would move fast though
Booster (70m) drops thro the jaws in 2.5 secs, so 130 tons at 28m/sec is gonna be some catch, even with the deceleration then absorbed by the catch-arm drops. WOW C-bass, WHAT AN AMAZING ANIMATION, take a bow!
The catch of the booster is definitely the greatest challenge, of coordination and precision. Stoping 100 tons midair with relatively small arms... Will be something worth watching
Wow saw this in Marcus House's channel. Looks almost real! Well done! Would love to see more animations like this in the future. After Space X finally does this!
This is AMAZING beautiful work, I imagine that the catch will all happen slower than you've depicted. I'd bet that they plan for the booster to effectively be hovering before they close the catch arms.
Magnificent.. Your orbital launch and ocean landing video from a few months ago was brilliant, this new video is magnificent. Absolutely love the detail upgrades to the booster and launch mount..
Why am I the only one to comment almost a month after the inaugural test flight of Starship on how accurate C-bass production was in this animation here? You did an amazing job! I thought I was watching the real thing! The only comment I would make is that because of the raptor engines being propelled by methane, the exhaust plume is clear and you can see all 33 engines.
Watching that actually happen in real life will be a turning point for humanity and how we reuse rockets. Amazing animation!
it will never happen

I just wonder about the flight trajectory of the Starship right after the stage sep. Seemed to be a sudden change.

Insane realism. My favorite animation so far! You’ve improved so much since the original Starship Launch Animation. 😍
The ignition! I haven't seen a video that nails the ignition so well! THAT looks like something that's going to frickin space!
I love that detail with the outer middle engines actuating out to give the 3 inner engines more room to gimble,
Bravo!
Simply awe inspiring ! I never thought that a piece of computer animation would have the power to make the hair on the back of the neck stand up like this does !
This is incredible. Well done! Please add in the return, capture, and restacking of the Ship as well.
it has just dawned on me how truly, gloriously insane the SpaceX stage 0 design is. Cant wait to see this thing work IRL
What excellent sound work! That was thrilling!
The reality has come and I have seen, just amazing😮
a quite astounding and phenomenal piece of 3D work,Sir, I salute you.
Well, that's one way to do it. We all know SpaceX will indeed make this work. Might blow up a few, but that's part of learning.
This is really fantastic! I had no idea how the tower is going to function. Thanks for sharing and excellent work.

Good thing is that they already know how to land on a drone ship, now they have to improve that same system and use it for starship.
Do you think the booster will still be descending as fast as that at the time of the catch? Seems a bit brutal to me.
That’s how Elon would describe it.
Aim is to suicide burn so it's possible
Iirc the thrust/weight ratio of the booster allows it to hover and come down controlled. No hoverslam required.
Maybe once they get more confident with superheavy landings/catches to increase performance. Initially I think it’ll be much slower
@@user-yd4rn4ez6m I think all or nothing. A rud during landing won't take down the tower, maybe the arms but they are replaceable... With great difficulty
