Well they didn't lie. It was exciting. Going by the history of when SpaceX decides to try something really new, it's gonna be a good 5+ tests before we see an entire Starship flight plan completed successfully. And then a year later, nobody will expect any more RUDs. Gives a good idea of the timeline.
@charlie2stroke Yeah, a pretty good start, I agree. When they tried landing boosters on drone ships, it was a comedy of errors. Five tries before they got it. Of course now they're at a point where a failure would be surprising, and a cadence that completely upended the industry. So yeah, like I said, we can predict Starship's timeline with some clarity.
@charlie2stroke question for you bro. how are you gonna comfort yourself when we land back on the moon and shift focus to Mars and its almost completely due to the company you have a hate boner for? you cant lean on your misinterpretation of iterative design forever. oh well, take comfort, im sure you can always retreat back into the bubble you share with your cultists. probably for the best. easiest place to close your ears and go la-la-la while the industry ignores your furious meming
@@charlie2stroke all of their first launches weren't productive ones. By your standards, all of them "failed". Now the same rockets, like Falcon, have done hundreds of flights without incidents. Normal development process for SpaceX - it's just more effective / economical to build prototypes early and learn in practice, instead of wasting tens of thousand more hours than needed on simulations.
Man, you can clearly see multiple engines blowing up in this video. The fact that this monster was able to keep going instead of blowing up the whole thing was amazing.
I was expecting huge explosion in first seconds, when it was not moving, then with each piece falling off, engine exploding, at least 10 times during spinning ... this thing is beast!
One of the main ideas behind using a rocket with lots of smaller engines is that in case of one or two failing the damage and loss of thrust is not that significant and the mission can continue. However the more engines you have the more is one likely to fail. It also adds a lot of complexity to the system, an issue the soviets never could really work out with their N1 Rocket. For the engineering possibilities of that era fewer engines seemed the better solution. But lets see how it will develop with modern CAD engineering.
Probably if not for the termination system activating this thing would still keep flipping and would get destroyed only after splashing down in the ocean. The fact it survived the pad getting obliterated shows just how much though was put in the design of the rocket itself.
@@ddddddddddd5354 Yes, I was also thinking about the N1 rocket. If the N1 worked as well as the Starship booster back then, we could have Soviets on the moon.
Thank you for providing us rocket junkies with another cool angle of such a spectacular test! I'm still just blown away at how robust the vehicle is. Sitting on the OLM being hammered by its own acoustics and concrete, having multiple engines explode, cartwheeling through the air...just shrugged it all off and refused to give up until it was intentionally terminated.
It refused to give up even some time after the FTS was activated. Two holes were blown, one in the side of each stage, but for a while all they did was leak propellant until aerodynamic forces broke it up. This is by far the best footage I've seen so far, particularly of that first engine failure. But still it pressed on. Amazing stuff.
the fact that this thing exploded its own engines during the flight and still go did the flip with 2nd stage still attached without breaking in half is beyond amazing
I'm quite sure that wasn't actually the flip maneuver as they were claiming, but rather a loss of control. It's still amazing that it lasted as long as it did.
The best video from the launch from all the ones made by Space X or otherwise. The complete flight from the beginning to the end. Simple and to the point. One timeline no fancy complications. Watching your video, now I understand what happened. Thanks for your posting. Great job.
Praise the camerman! I didn't recall that Super Heavy was wandering around lost for that long. The on-board camera footage we've all seen made it appear slightly more controlled. Those engine pops and explosions were a lot more visible too. Great footage!
Incredible tracking shot. The atmosphere there must’ve been wild. I was in school at the time and when I saw that it’d launched I nearly lost it. Thanks for sharing this atmosphere with us.
4K60. You're the boss. So few clips of this launch, including from professional streamers, met this standard. This footage also has the cleanest bass I've heard from any clip I've seen. You would think this wouldn't be a tall ask, since even a half-decent smartphone should have you covered, but nope. Everyone else's footage sounds like they stuffed the mic inside a Tupperware container. This footage is just amazing. 😘👌
@@dougaltolan3017 Nah I mean like here's NasaSpaceFlight's video of the launch. th-cam.com/video/zw0akWuUu7c/w-d-xo.html There's basically no frequencies below 120 Hz. About the kind of bass you'd get from a 1990s shelf speaker for PCs. Compare that to this video here, when the sound arrives. NSF's camera was at a safe viewing distance. The problem was their camera's mic sucks ass, and nobody on the team really has that concern as a priority, or they'd have already picked up a Zoom H2 or something for 50 bucks. Hell, like I said before, even a typical smartphone can do a _way_ better job than what you hear in the video I linked.
@@Ivartshiva Not on any of the phones I've owned in the last ten years. That's actually one of the things that manages to impress me about my current smartphone: The bass is so good that I don't feel the urge to find a good mic. I just need to remember to take it out of the protective case if it's something like a thunderstorm.
thanks for sharing! I loved watching from this single perspective. When I was watching the live stream I had no sense of up or down when Starship started tumbling. This shows what’s going on very clearly. Thanks again!
You did an amazing job tracking this huge monster my friend!!!! This maiden voyage was magnificent!!!! Made it pasted MAX-Q!!!! Once again did a fantastic job!!!! Definitely subscribed to your channel 👍👍👍
Amazing footage and lovely to see the blue diamonds in the trail (around 2 minute mark), all remaining engines seemed to be synchronous. Pure majik, best video of the launch I've seen. Well done !!
The exhaust plume really said it all from the start. Great footage seeing the engine failures and the hpu going too. SpaceX clearly have a few issues to iron out, mainly down at Stage 0 - onwards and further upwards!
Starship tried it's absolute best to keep going, never wanted to give up but FTS kicked off finally. This is a monster machine. Amazing camera work, best video seen so far
Congratulations on your first real rocket launch, Texas! You have witnessed the best of the best. The most powerful rocket ever built. I'll get to witness the manned launch in the near future.
My bet is the concrete and rebar fragments took out the 8 engines and pretty much caused its demise. There may also have been a frozen valve but the it did linger for 8 or so seconds while it built up lift and that was plenty of time to ingest enough to damage the engines.
new lullaby. Yep, looks like they may have to build a flame trench after all as shit was getting ejected everywhere. Hopefully they will get lots of information from this first launch.
I don't know if anyone noticed this but the yellow flame was indicative of an incorrect fuel mixture being delivered to some of the engines, this also showed up on the telemetry data in the Spacex stream, the LOX tanks had less fuel than the CH4 tanks, this also happened during starship test flights and was why the first starship failed to land safely, they will have plenty of data from the telemetry and i have no doubt the next test will be a significant improvement :)

Yeah! They were attempting to detach the 1st stage for a really long time.
Look how many engine failures were going on very early in the launch, it's incredible it didn't blow up much sooner
Your spider tank videos from years ago are the best I’ve seen……couldn’t wait for the next one 😂.
Took a lot of damage from concrete flying everywhere before it even lifted off
its not nasa if they wanna push it they gonna push it
I wonder if it was out of safety that they didn't terminate it sooner bc it was near the pad/ground. They got it out over the water to blow it up.
Or keep going as long as possible to collect more data?
Man that thing is 30km above and it still makes my home subwoofer shake even when it’s doing rolly pollies. Amazing!
This is the very best single-camera view of the launch I’ve seen anywhere! Great work and thank you for sharing.

I love the people yelling "GO GO GO" as it started on the pad.
I was doing the same thing at my TV.
Bravo pour cette magnifique vidéo et merci pour le partage ! Le bruit est exceptionnel ! 🥰👍
Thank you for offering this video. It must have been wonderful and awesome to be there.
Honestly, this was better than SpaceX's footage live
Calm down.
Was it though
Best view of what happened I've seen yet.
@@atoftw4256 yup, the wider angle gives a much better perspective.
This was tracked extremely well. Probably the best one that I've seen so far.
This is great! It is the first launch video that I've seen that has that popping crackle from the engines and has a fairly wide angle view.
That was some good footage, I didn’t realize how many times she flipped before the self destruct. Amazing.
By far the best amateur video of the launch I have seen so far.
Wow, you guys had an excellent vantage point from here... Better than most videos out there. Good job!
This recording gives a better perspective of the flight, showing a comprehensive and insightful angle. Awesome capture!
Seriously great capture mate. One of the best I’ve yet seen. Well done on the tracking. Cheers from Australia.

Fantastic audio!
Very good capture of the incredible base.
Thanks for the vid.
Great filming, love the way the engine roar kicks in a few seconds after launch 👍
Even with the sad ending. This was the largest rocket every launched. It was a resounding success.
Not a sad ending. If there’s going to be a failure, it’s far better it happen during the testing phase than during a high-stakes launch.
not a sad ending, the test was more than a success
Clicked for the audio and was not disappointed! Amazing how long it takes the sound to travel.

Built up lift or burned fuel/weight so it could lift?
Yeah Stage 0 isn’t looking so great after that. I’m definite that some debris caused at least some of the engine-outs.
@@SMHman666 Well. Starship started some of the ground work for it! I’m kinda of the belief that was the plan all along, myself.
@@JustSomeDude2161 Yes, that could well be the case.

How many loops did actually do?. Looked like 2.5. That indicates structural strength.
Did better than all the N-1s on its first flight.
Spettacolare! ¡Grazie per compartire! 👌🏻🚀
about 24 seconds for sound to arrive.

From a photo of what's left of the concrete under the launch pad. I think multiple engines were mutilated by flying concrete.
That the rocket just shrugged and took off anyway, and then survived a triple summersault (at mach 2) and had to be remote-detonated to render it safe...
