It wasn't too long ago they were mocking Elon and SpaceX over their 1st Starship launch attempt where they had to destroy the rocket mid-flight. Now, they are catching skyscrapers! Truly amazing!
Been a fan of the space program since I was a kid (I'm 57) but this is about the most amazing thing I have ever seen--to me even more amazing than the moon landings.
This isn't really an achievement that furthers missions to Mars. This is more about lunar missions at this moment. At least - it's WHY they are doing this right now. SpaceX has been contracted to provide the lander for NASA's Artemis program. They will use a Starship variant (HLS). However, Starship cannot launch, get into Earth orbit, go to the moon, land, take off and return to Earth, and land on one tank of fuel. It will need to be launched into Earth orbit (where most of the fuel is used actually) and then a second Starship (a fuel tanker variant) will launch and refuel the HLS Starship in orbit. The problem : even the tanker will use up a lot of its fuel just getting into Earth orbit to rendezvous with the orbiting HLS Starship. So it won't be able to transfer much fuel to the HLS - - - which means it will take MULTIPLE tanker Starship launches to fully refuel the HLS Starship. Estimates at this point are around 10-12 refueling missions. While it is certainly nice that Starship can be landed on a pad and reused. It still needs to be refueled, and that happens on the launch pad. It takes time to get Starship from some random landing spot, dismantled and transported and reassembled to the launch pad - - - - so why not just land at the launch pad? That's the reason they are doing this. While it would be useful for a mission to Mars, the more immediate reason they are doing it is for lunar missions in the near future. Artemis I has already flown. Artemis II will fly in about a year. Artemis III is slated to be a manned lunar landing using Starship HLS. That's why they are doing this right now. They need to be able to demonstrate they are able to launch the refueling Starship tanker, then land it back right on the launch pad to be refueled and relaunched quickly - a dozen or so times. If they had to wait weeks or months between refueling missions, sending the starship HLS to the moon and back would not be feasible.
this is history, never done anything like this before, just wow, wow, can not express my feelings. this is beyond imagination. congratulations to spacex for this extra ordinary feat. perfection and science at it best.
just a soft landing in the water, which was successful. afterwards, it will obviously keel over and be submerged in water, which it isn‘t built to handle. they wanted to see if it could calculate, but they didn‘t want to deal with the possible aftermath for it and/or the landing pad yet.
Last ship also landed sort of soft, but fell down and on it's side. This one I think did an ever better job of landing and then they hoped it would tip over more gently and float for a while to pull data out of it, but something blew up. Remember that there are several tanks in it - something must have been okay since it (the engine section?) floated for a good while after the explosion.
@@iamyourbfforever No it won't land on a ship. It will return to launch site too and land with chop-sticks. It's a lot bigger/heavier emptier than a F9 booster so a droneship as they would need the chopsticks. They had the idea with oil drilling platforms but scrapped it (maybe they will revisit it some time in the future). Only starships for Moon and Mars (the first ones) needs landing legs.

@5:10 was that supposed to blow up? what was it landing on? im confused what was the plan? was it sussceful?
it did a soft water landing then exploded after it tipped over
just a soft landing in the water, which was successful. afterwards, it will obviously keel over and be submerged in water, which it isn‘t built to handle. they wanted to see if it could calculate, but they didn‘t want to deal with the possible aftermath for it and/or the landing pad yet.
In the future there'll be a ship.
Now it's just practice. It landed on the water.
Last ship also landed sort of soft, but fell down and on it's side. This one I think did an ever better job of landing and then they hoped it would tip over more gently and float for a while to pull data out of it, but something blew up. Remember that there are several tanks in it - something must have been okay since it (the engine section?) floated for a good while after the explosion.
@@iamyourbfforever No it won't land on a ship. It will return to launch site too and land with chop-sticks. It's a lot bigger/heavier emptier than a F9 booster so a droneship as they would need the chopsticks. They had the idea with oil drilling platforms but scrapped it (maybe they will revisit it some time in the future).
Only starships for Moon and Mars (the first ones) needs landing legs.
These event has an enormous impact on humanity. Incredible job and very needed in hope of better times
Mind-blowing
Now THAT is a confirmed Tictac sighting!
Magnificent launch and perfect landing
absolutey insane, marvel of modern engineering by SpaceX, so proud of them
Wow! I'm at a loss for words. Bravo to the whole SpaceX team.
Our best days are ahead of us folks. Don't ever forget that. Never give up, and never surrender.
Free people did this.
Amazing feat of engineering. The iron ring does it again.
what is possible has been done , what is impossible will be done , , , , , hats off to elon and company , absolutely amazing!
Major milestone, as major as the first rocket they landed 10 years ago.
Congratulations space x
Flipping amazing from here in South Africa 🇿🇦… incredible achievement also an engineer and I was so emotional watching this had tears in my eyes… this is the beauty of science and engineering on full display well done SpaceX and the USA 🇺🇸
SpaceX has The Right Stuff.
Literally was one of my best mornings ever. Stayed up late last night, saw this was gonna launch so grabbed 4 hours of sleep got up and witnessed this incredible achievement. Then ate breakfast lol.
Unbelievable, absolutely incredible
