Starship | SN8 | High-Altitude Flight Recap 

We live in the future

Don't worry! We would probably be able to reliably land SN12, if I'm being conservative, and SN10 if I'm optimistic. The type of landings that Super Heavy does have already been done with Falcon 9, we just need to test the technology so expect BN8 to stick a landing. We'll be able to start full Starship (The Whole Rocket) testing around Late 2021 to Early 2022 if we're being optimistic! P.S: I forgot to mention that The Full Starship will most likely be tested with orbital flights, no more 12.5km flights by then.

I hope one day they do a twin starship launch+landing :)

Glad i'm not alone, the way those engines were cutting out and dangling to the side seemed like catastrophic failures to an outsider like me. But on the way down I noticed they were still functional. What a ride.

Idem

I can't wait to see SpaceX go to mars, especially since no person has every gone

Wasn't expecting you here!

What a surprise to see you here!

Wow so good to see influencers interested in space

Probably the last person i expected to be here

yesss

To think they endured so much hardship to reach this point... but Elon doesn't take no for an answer and these are the results! 🚀 There are a lot of people keeping the dream of a Space Age alive (TV shows, video games, books) but Elon and Spacex ar connecting the fiction with reality. How amazing! Thank you guys! You're doing an awesome job for all of us! 🖖

RU-vid/Google::: ("Solving-Apollo-Enigma-1") to learn how these are FAKED!!!

Bruh can you just SHUT UP!!!

@@kareemsalessi Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who worked on the Apollo program, the astronauts that lost their lives testing hardware, and the thousands of scientists that continue to study Lunar samples to this day. ...And the most powerful rocket ever flown in human history, with enough Delta V and then some.

"how many tries did it take to land the Falcon 9?" "how many tries did it take to land a Starship?" Without the Falcon 9, spacex wouldn't exist, they would have gone bankrupt. They are leading the space industry and will not stop, they keep getting better and better.

@@redpug5042 I agree

@@redpug5042 that's actually not true, the success of the final falcon 1 saved them from bankruptcy.

We won't colonize Mars because it is impractical, people like you should come back down to earth and use logic.

@@BrokenLifeCycle Regained consciousness. on the pad now.

And now SN9 is hanging out with Hoppy... :-)

@@BrokenLifeCycle Thanks, Johnny!

That’s if we don’t blow up ourselves before we leave this one.

@@samuellektzian3436 Mars is already pretty ruined if you didn't notice, we're making it better

Don't forget: It was just last week that SN9 was so eager to try the belly flop for itself that it tried to do it inside the high bay. XD

It was a practice flop. Everybody do the flop

@@im_skipachu Wrong. That was SN9 trying to cheese it and head for the border.

@@im_skipachu Ding is now repaired then?

@@amarok5048 yes, they replaced some flaps and did an inspection and SN9 rolled out to the pad yesterday.

It gets better...

From Future : it's already landed successfully

sci-fi? The rocket literally crashed. They still have primitive technology

@@Nova_1945 ok tell me every single thing you know about the starship and then I'll explain it in further detail

Maybe not more exciting, but definetly on par with the moon landings.

Let me try something.. I WILL NEVER GET TO EXPERIENCE LEO IN MY LIFE TIME!

The Mars landing I think

Seems like a low bar to set. Moon landings were only one of the first steps towards space exploration.

Me too. being born in 1970 I missed all the excitement of that, and until recently there just didn't seem to be the will to do much beyond putting up satellites so far as manned exploration goes. We waited years for space agencies to do it, but it's now obvious that it would always be private industry that gets there first. Unlike the space agencies their budgets aren't controlled by penny pinching bean counters and their goals don't change as different politicians get elected so they can have longer term plans. I really enjoyed seeing SN8's short flight, it achieved many new things and I'm sure that had it not suffered fuel starvation at the last moment then everything would have gone perfectly.

The SN10 recap was good, maybe it’s because SN8s recap was the longest.

@@HarrisonAdAstra sn8 is better than sn10

Yup. In the mean time, live a healthy rest of your life! You may live to see more than just Mars!

Keep yourself healthy you will be able to see the first man walking on Mars

Laughing Gravy Of course you’ll live to see it mate. You’re only 65, which isn’t even THAT old yet! You can make it to your 90s and beyond :).

I watched the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo development through Cronkite, CBS, and Popular Science, etc. This SN8 flight was the equal to any item of that, and more: there was nothing even remotely resembling what they've done here, physically or conceptually and the aesthetic element is beyond imagination.

Keep safe.

Well hello 👋

Hey hey!

Nice :D hi

Hey Marcus House!

Not a failure. Just a test.

@@phoobar9640 Semantics.

@@phoobar9640 uhh, you know you can fail a test, right? If their success criteria was defined as having a successful landing, then it did indeed fail.

It's not a crush its Rapid Unintentional Disassembly!

i think if they intended to land it nicely as part of the test, they would've mounted the landing gear, which is nowhere to be seen here. hope to see it land next time though

More like "escaping to orbit when the next wipe out happens". Time seems to be short so he is in a hurry.

Yeah especially this part 1:34. So cool!!

Looks like it's out of the old Flash Gordon TV series.

That S4 trailer where Roci lands on Ilus

*Tilts*

Bolo - ,,You are next!" :p

I tend to be less nervous at launch (perhaps foolishly) but instead get anxious as I watch the rocket engines pivoting (seemingly dancing) on their gimbal mounts during descent. I also get anxious watching maneuvers - eg the belly flop reorientation, which turned out to be amazing to watch ... so I just cannot stop watching the launches/recoveries and docking. As they say, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Matching this philosophy with good Engineering Risk-Benefit Analysis, one can make AMAZING progress. “What you achieve is proportional to what you attempt.” Well done, SpaceX.

sn9 so nervous that it shut off at the beginning of flight

Blame MSM media for it. They are the ones not reporting it because they are too busy posting "Orange man bad" videos.

@@kenshigo3833 Of course a Republican is around to make something political and point the finger at MSM...

@@kenshigo3833 Let me guess you think the only people watching are Republican's right? Lmao, okay bro... lmao okay

What are you saying? Media under-reporting doesn't effect viewership? And the media doesn't over-report political muckraking? Interesting theory. But I would say he's right - a hyper focus on political theater and a near blackout on the Starship program are both big contributing factors to the fact of extremely low awareness of these highly monumental achievements.

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly = "R.U.D." and I was well pleased that the vehicle got as close as it did to sticking the landing, just a little more fuel pressure next time :)

And an "engine rich exhaust" label

It was kinda expected this time though xD
