Hello everyone:)
Hahaha SN-9 almost collapsed 🤣
0:50 - back in the 50's when I was a rocket-crazy teenager I never thought that one day I'd be able to look down on a spaceship factory!
Me too. I'm a 60's kid. SpaceX is giving me a reason to keep on truckin.
Long Live Capitalism!
I’m from the very esrly 2000’s, and even to me it still is just mind blowing that there are so many people trying to get video, photo’s, audio etc from Boca. Usually you cant see any of this, but SpaceX kinda does nothing against it (okay, they build a wall of containers)
Don't feel sorry for SN8 guy's, she sacrifices for a better tomorrow. She has to do what she did. She's a hero.
SN8: Was I a good test rocket?
SpaceX: No...you were the best!
O yea!
We won’t forget SN8 sacrifice! The sacrifice for the greater good in the future.
I'm literally here don't worry
Even dying a glorious death, SN8 kept her head up. What a glorious rocket.
we love you SN8!
The fact the belly flop worked so well is amazing engineering.
Almost all Mainstream media didn't even mention that!
Most News reports went like this.
Go up.
Come down.
Goes boom.
Queue the space expert.
So sad, good thing nobody was killed in the rocket.
On to really important news about synthetic reality shows.
Sn8
Spectacular.
Scorched but no obvious crater or damage... pad superficially seems fine... great!
One of the main reasons I love the starship's design is that it mostly can be recycled. 😄
And thats why I think spacex is crazy wanting to reorbit them all after landing on the moon and/or mars. There's ~100t of raw stainless steel in each of them. If you could repurpose that material for more permanent construction projects, that would be so much more value for their effort. Getting enough fuel to re-fly is going to be a logistical nightmare.
@@tippyc2 Good thing the fuel is easy to make. Liquid Methane is practically universally available. It can be mined from anywhere on earth, on Titan it rains liquid methane. Liquid oxygen can be made in our atmosphere with a compressor.
You love me? :)
@@tippyc2 afaik the one that land the moon will not fly again because that'll blew moon dust everywhere and cause trouble if it is #cmiiw
@@felreymiguel5734 who doesn't?
at 9:33 in the video, if you look close at the upper center of the frame, you can see a nice outline of the circular bottom of the vehicle etched into the concrete from the impact. You can even make out the landing leg mount locations. That outline perfectly marks the point of impact.
Agreed, in the video you could see that she was coming in towards the centre but because the ship was falling faster than the software program allowed for, the legs had not been deployed and she caught the edge of the pad
I wouldn't repair it, I would leave it as an historical marker.
It left an SN8 stamp in the concrete, pretty cool.
SpaceX should sell "remains" souvenirs like Sandy Munro does for his Tesla breakdowns!
Good idea... piece of history now!
Elon can you please save this nose cone as a monument to remember ?!

Please RT if you agree!!!

Agreed, should be preserved in memory of SN8
so the answer on twitter is, yes the do!
This doesnt mean they'll sell it though...
Let souvenir collectors in and it would be cleared up in 30 mins!
@@HighPeakVideo 10/10 name lol
Beautiful gorgeous photos
WOW!!! Great footage! You can see where the rocket kissed the pad really hard!
SN8 made space for SN9. Very considerate of her.
No crater on the pad. Good job
I'm still here don't worry :)
Now that's the "Footage" that No One else in the world can get. 🎸🎸🎸 Rock On, Awesome Dude 👍👍👍
Thanks fir sharing.
Awesome!!!
You Rock RGV... I've been wanting to see where it hit. It was to one side however it still hit the pad, just a bit hard lol.
Been wanting to see how far all the debris went as well. Debris looks to have went a very long ways out across road to water and RIP construction tent which took a lot of it. Thank you RGV for the videos!
They forgot to paint an X on the pad. That's why it failed.
I missed it 😂
@@felreymiguel5734 your commenting on every comment trying to get attention. stop
@@TheSpaceEngineer nah I'm not
Naaah, pretty sure its because one engine failed and the other one was vomiting green flame (engine rich exhaust). But I like the idea.
thanks Bro.......appreciate the effort.
Thank you. 👍🏻
Thanks
Landed on the pad! Just too fast, still insanely impressive.
Certainly made an impression...
on the landing pad.
You can even see the circular scratch in the concrete from SN8’s lower rim. Amazing photography.
Thank you for the great shots.
Nice video. Thank you. That said, SpaceX should take this opportunity to expand the landing pad/zone if possible. No reason to have an accident damage more buildings/resources. On the other hand, perhaps the damaged structure was temporary and only present due to the launch pad construction.
that was awesome. Thanks heaps
Rest in Pieces SN8
You will always have a place in our hearts
Great video! Thank you for sharing
Awesome upload. So much to take in. Thank you.
Looks like some of the debris went across the road and tore through the mud over there 👉 6:50+
Good closeup of the debris on the landing pat also, 8:00 🕗
Barely a scratch on the pad!
We had an argument...
@@felreymiguel5734 Your nsme.. it brings tears of wonderous joy to my eyes!
Looking at the video of the flight it wasn't actually going that fast when it hit the pad and most of the fuel was gone at that point so the explosion wasn't that big either.
Great footage RGV! SN8 came down perfectly straight looking at the skirt mark on the concrete!
Just a tad too fast that's all!
Nice view.
loved the shots of the pad, really neat
Thank you for what you do
BEST!! this video is the best view of Boca Chica Space Center I've seen thus far.
SN8, oh how I miss you already.
Thank you for your hard work and tell 42 we consider it a heart of gold.
Rest in peace.
Great Photography -Wow
All great comments below... RGV I must say... What great video you have taken...
This footage will be of great use to all the engineers...
My favorite word in 2020 or thee Starship Project Development... is Reiterate...
RGV,,, the impact circular indentation on the landing pad is remarkably noticeable in your footage. What a marvelous point of progress this test was...
Spacex has made this rocket almost as simple as a common bottle rocket not to waste anything, unnecessary components, in the research for a reliable, reusable propulsion system.
So hard to wait for Sn 9 to nail the landing and to push the boundaries of space, in LEO, world space transportation, reentry, fuel Tank orbiters, etc. Continued, testing ,
Can wait to see life support systems united with propulsion system testing... Thank you Elon.
7:52 lower center. Dude in heavy thought
SpaceX Engineer wondering: "How do I add more Fuel header tank pressure?"
RIP SN9 as well :(
You can see the feet imprint where it impacted! Incredible
Good stuff, you can see that circle on the landing pad where sn8 smacked it pretty good too lol
What an excellent set of visuals. I would hope the Spacex team are using this to create a forensic deconstruction of a starship deconstruction (sorry I meant a Rapid Disassembly)
This is just superb arial footage 👍👍👍
so close !!! next (SN9) launch is going to nail it !!
Hope the damage to SN 09 does not delay it to long, latest view of SN09 damage ruclips.net/video/am2kw1TCNAk/видео.html
Using Elon’s humor: “Well, technically it did land”, even with de pointy side up.
It looks like a Kerbal landing, the capsule at the top with Jeb survived, so mission is successful!
"..., just not in one piece."
I can just reply with Elon’s humor: „We can buff it out“. That’s what they might have to do with SN9. 😬
Great video.
Amazing how metal can crumple like paper
Considering the scale involved, SN8 still hit the landing pad accurately even though not all three engines were working seconds before touchdown. Pretty impressive engineering work (programming, feedback control, etc.) being performed by the Starship team. SpaceX is definitely leaving the competition behind (inspite of corrupt lobbying from external forces).
TY so much for the point of impact. SN08 was SO close to perfection, roll on SN09.

@@favesongslist When I saw that, I thought at first you'd made a typo and you meant to say SN08. Wow, that is a problem. Roll on SN10, maybe.
@@mtgradwell I was so optimistic for SN09 to fly this year as well :(
10:00 Well You can clearly see, that it landed on the landing pad. Props for the guy, who chose the size of the landing pad. Math well done.
If the engines hadn't cut out it would have absolutely nailed the landing.
Fantastic shots!
Awesome footage! Well done. I'm amazed at how little debris and char there is from such a massive fireball.
Great work getting airborne so quickly. Love your work.
Thanks for this!
TY RGV! Hichhiker´s guide to the galaxy whale on the ground at 9:19! ;)
lol
Priceless! I totally missed that until I went back and looked.
@ 9:49 there is a clearly visible spall ring from where the engine skirt section hit the slab. the fact that even as it was failing the thing managed to still hit the pad proves sn8 didnt go without a fight
You did well SN8, proud of you.
Thanks for the stunning footage, and definitely worth the slight wait - my apologies again 😉
Am amazed at how little damage appears to have been done to the landing pad. Which us great for SN9 testing schedule.
Also love how SN8 has left us its circular landing footprint, despite having gone to the Starship graveyard in the sky. 😢
I think the only reason it did not hit dead center on the pad is because the engines did not get enough juice. Had they been properly fed SN8 would be standing right on top of the bullseye.
Yup.
Sweet !
They should paint that impact mark after they fix it... or even if they don't fix it. Its a testament to history.
Thanks for this! The concrete looks surprisingly great!
I think you can see the methane header tank near the point of impact. Between there and the nose cone is what looks to be the Tesla battery. Looks like it was burning for a while. This is a great video. Thank you so much!
Lots of debris in the estuary. That was a fantastic RUD.
RIP SN9s dignity
One thing you can say about SpaceX is they know how to weld nose cones together, LOL. Awesome test flight even if the landing was a minor fail.
I remember when all this was just one man in a shed making fireworks.
Doesn't look to bad , I think it'all buff out !
Personally, if engine number 42 survived enough in one piece it should be given a place of honor in a museum.
I’d love that too. It probably only had some tubing left though, as it smashed into the ground as one of the first things
That is one hard slab of concrete !
Oh, I see! This must be the aperture science photography department. Got it.
Great footage!!
Hello everyone! Congratulations to Musk, his fantastic team and all caring people with a big step forward to the Moon and Mars! Elon's achievements are the achievements of all earthlings. I am proud of Space X and believe in the starship. I'm from St. Petersburg. Russia. Question. Who knows when the SN9 tests will begin?
No.... RIP SN9 :'c
Rest in pieces SN9.
Hopefully you’re writing SN9 off prematurely! 😉
@@colinmaynard2879 Opps, fat fingered it, meant SN8.
SN 9 tipped over in the hi bay this morning. 9:07 am
Apparently significant damage to SN09 aft fling
@@favesongslist I wouldn't be surprised if it's scrapped. Entire vehicle integrity is now questionable...
Now it has been lifted out of the high bay it seems most of the damage is on the forward aero surface and a small amount on the rear. If the mount for that isn't damaged they should just be able to replace the front and rear wing on that side and it would be good to fly. If the mounts are damaged though it could still be scrap.
Awesome content as usual!!
It feels like SpaceX should have a separate roadway leading to the launch site with testing stands for basic pressure, cryo pressure and static fire tests as at the moment the huge bottleneck appears to be the testing itself.
or a wide rail link...or perhaps even by barge if a channel can be wide and deep enough...eventually they will need docking facilities anyway to load for sea launches.
@@douglasrobinson651 I saw mentioned that there is a new link road being built to link to the Brownsville port and ship channel. I'm guessing they'll eventually be using that.
Exactly!
Make a tunnel....Boring company...
@@joeybagadonuts1206 keel, shoot rockets down it like those pressure tubes for cash in stores.
8:02 are you seeing Snoopy lying on his back staring at the sky?
We are looking at history here. These launches are paving the way to colonizing other planets. People will read about what we are doing right now.
It reminded us of Matrix 1 movie when the building blows up but this time it was real, was not CGI. Its MuskE's ironman trademark style explosion. Every one wrote the same Explosion
I could have swore it landed just about dead center.
i thought the same
@@abhipatel5468 I thought so too, but you can see the thrust puck where he circled point of impact
That's probably why there's a lot of damage on the tent. If it had exploded in the middle, maybe the tent would have survived.
I thought it caught the edge and was half on half off
@fo shizzle that's prolly true. But i doubt the landing spot was very intentional. Due to the loss of one engine. The second probably could make up for the difference in gimbal.
True about tank farm and tent.
thank you one would not be able to figure out the extent of the damage without the aerial view. Boy were they lucky hardly any damage. RND development can give you a squeaky ass very dramatic.
Is it only me that notices the smiley face 🙂 island in front of the landing pad?!?!?
The sickest part of that image is that the bottom of the rocket litterly left a tattoo on the cement (you can see imprints of the landing legs)
Best part is no part :)
Looks like they have room to make another High Bay next to High Bay, wonder if they are planning to since Elon wants to completed a Starship Once a Week out the door
At that stage the site most likely has once again doubled in size, just like last time. But yeah, they could do it
Breaking news SN9 has tipped over inside building !!
SpaceX - Cut it into keychains please!
The entire thing seems more like a collapse (sideways) than an big explosion (that would blast it in all directions), the explosion itself was not that big.
Not a great deal of fuel and oxidizer left I'd imagine, even if pressure hadn't plummeted I imagine there would have barely been fumes left.
Agreed. Once the tanks split and ruptured. The resulting fireball seemed to mostly just consume the remaining fuel and LOX. The debris clearly looks more like just a tank that lost its integrity.
Impact simply crumpled the ship, and then the splitting of some of the metal during crumpling released the small amount of remaining fuel to burn off. Not a huge explosion like SN4, but vigorous enough that a few pieces made it off of the pad and out into the bay on the other side of the road.
@@tonyvelasco5732 agree. In the videos you can clearly see the impact shock ripple up through the tank as it slams down. For a brief second it’s standing.
The hover it did at 12500km was probably done to burn off any excess fuel just incase it did crash, there was probably little more than fumes left in the main tanks when it did crash.
Não se chega ao sucesso sem encontrar obstáculos.
Imagine coming to a planet you’ve never seen before and the only thing on it was a debris field exactly like this and then nothing else but a desert wasteland on the entire planet
I hope you can get the latest on the leaning SN9.
Hmmmm. The circular imprint on the pad looks to be too small to simply be the imprint of the bottom outer skirt of SN8. Just compare to the size of the remaining cone section. It's much smaller. Maybe it is an imprint of another part of the ship... I don't know.
As far as the comment about needing a bigger header tank (s) I'd say that isn't accurate. They lacked pressure to feed the engines as stated my Elon.... They didn't lack fuel. If you can't deliver the fuel fast enough you can't run the engines. Since the relight at the end was the only time the header tanks were used there is no way they ran out of fuel because of the size being inadequate. That would have been a huge engineering error if that were the case.
When SN 9 was still upright...
Earlier today I believe, latest view of SN09 damage ruclips.net/video/am2kw1TCNAk/видео.html
I soo want to work there. Not as anything technical cause I am not that kinda smart but even offices or something! I am even tempted to take the job as a Barista! In hopes to see all the magic!
It appears they need a broom man at the moment....
Hope to see you there
