Two times super heavy booster catch.

I would love to know what the music is in this video.

Bro was hinting

Did bro just predict a ship explosion 656 days early?

excelent Explanation Ryan i love all the animations to. and the catch was just how you explained it.

Must be an old animation. We now know it looks nothing like that.

This ended up being very realistic! Edit: except for the angle of attack, it’s too steep

Thanks for the visual explanations..

bro predicted IFT4 and 7 way before IFT 1 was a thing Plasma seeped through flap hinges on IFT 4 1 engine didnt ignite boost back burn on IFT 7 booster and a successful booster caught starship dummy payload a beautiful starship debris reentry

This is the América that I want. Congrats from Brazil!!!

Bro predicted IFT-7

NOW THEY DID IT TWIIICE

Bro rename it to IFT 7

Rapid unscheduled disassembly 😂😂

Watching this after the second booster-catch (yesterday)...this was amazingly well done and the renders and models were *chefskiss* ! Got a new subscriber !

bro actually predicts the future

Who's here after IFT-7? I immediately remembered this animation, when the debris of Starship S33 re-entered the atmosphere.

This sums up flight seven pretty darn well!

This aged great: they just did it a second time on flight seven!

They’ve done it again with booster 14!

Well... I'm here today on January 16, a few hours before flight 7 - hyped as hell! :D spaceX actually did it on flight 5 with a catch of the super heavy booster. On flight 6 they went for a soft splash down again as communications with the tower had malfunctions... Hopefully we'll see the second booster catch today! 🙆🏽⌛

Amazing work, Im blown away everytime content creators use your designs or I see a post on X. You are amazing to catch every detail and I truely appriciate your dedication and time you put into this, letting the rest of us see how this amazing structure work in detail. Thank you

Well Done! I also would have loved to see the changes of the sonic boom carpet on the ground over time! I assume it starts from a point and changes into a complex oval-ish kind of form?

good good good for your simulations an image explains more than a thousend words, thanks

anyone watching this in 2029 on Mars

Almost everything predicted here was spot-on (well done!). The only difference I could spot is that they plopped the booster back on the launch mount (within a few hours, IIRC), not on a transport stand. Makes a lot of sense to do that, as that is necessary for the holy grail of rapd reusability - see it as an extra test...

I can say, the Mechazilla caught the booster sucessfully on IFT-5 (but it was the 13 raptor engines that relighted, instead of only 10). Still, this video is accurate to flights IFT-3 and IFT-5.

The examination is great

where tf did you get all this info? this is sick

I just have one question. Can you see the future?

If we can imagine the future, we can create realty. To watch what has occurred in one year, what can happen next year. Think interstate galactic travel. Think garden, imagine a bigger tomorrow. Simply Imagine.

Hey, nice film! BTW, do you know Quantum Electro Dynamics (they have a YT channel as well)? They're researching a VEM drive and they need a few animations. Maybe you'd be interested in a collab with them.

Please NASA bring Sunita and her friends back..Don't let her die..! #bringsunitaback

This starship is way outdated , this is a version 1 ship we now have version 3 and long boi coming up

that was the moment i decided.... i have to be a part of this. ive got the stuff.... im just a fkall mess

Its all cool and all but can it be called other than "catching", seriously

Super super super Elon Musk thanks all for People Andy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful but turn of the autofocus. Just set it to manual and infinity.

No matter how many times I see this, it NEVER gets old!

Since many vertices calculate their parameters at the same rough location, I think this tool could be optimized by precomputing their values into a 3D voxel grid

excellent video. it answered all my questions.

Fantastic explanation and graphics for the layman to comprehend. Keep up the great work Ryan.

A well executed major accomplishment: fascinating, informative, and thought provoking. Lots of breadcrumbs for all ages to continue exploration. I'm glad to see more of your work. I wanted to share a video clip of the pez dispenser cross section operating in space. I know you authored it but I saw it somewhere else (NSF?). Do you offer a shareable version?

@ryanhansenspace how would this affect an orbital space station and the approach by a starship arriving from earth, mars or the moon? Would the sonic boom occur in space? Could it damage space stations or satellite orbits?

Great. Do more.

Very nicely put together Ryan. Best Visualization and explanation of sonic boom shock waves I have seen ever. Well done sir.

Stupid question: If these haven't been heard since the Shuttle, what am I hearing when the Falcom 9 boosters come back and land?

The one thing I don't understand is why the tail end of a supersonic object produces its own sonic boom. If a sonic boom is produced by the compression and escape of air molecules against the front of the object, where is that compression occuring on the trailing end of the object? I can understand air molecules compressing on the grid fins creating the second boom, but where is the air compression occurring on the trailing end of Super Heavy and/or the Falcon 9 booster? Or on supersonic fighter jets for that matter?

Good job, Ryan! Excellent exploration of the "strange new world" of sonic simulations. I especially like the low fidelity portrayal of meteorological phenomena, i.e. the fluffy little clouds.

Awesome video for us engineers!! I never thought about the second/third booms before.
