What a triumph of human spirit that hundreds of engineers can watch their work explode and cheer with genuine enthusiasm.
That’s what happens when your test goes multiple stages farther than you planned.
I read the plan, I suggest you do before putting your foot in your mouth.
Only in America 😂😂😂
@@lightgrove7751 Pretty sure the comment was in good spirit.
That´s the spirit of Alfred Nobel.
Yep, the spirit in that room was great. We lose grasp of this spirit at our peril.
"Rapid unscheduled disassembly" is such a friendly way of saying "it blew up, but we learned a lot on the way"
Not even that , they had to intentionally blow it up with explosives on the rocket
Not only just spacex is susceptible to RUD and not limited to uncrewed flights being vulnerable to it.
No it is disassembly and its deliberately for preventing pf exploding
Dont forget the "icing on the cake" just to save face.😊
Musk needs to perfect Tesla cars before going into space
I'm particularly impressed the fuselage survived that many High G rolls before Rapidly disassembling.
KAbooom
@@God-CDXX Absolutely, shows you the engineering that involved in this.
The explosion was called by the flight termination system. They need to make sure it doent fly off and hit a town or something
this is exactly like Kerbal Space Program
same here , i would have had 5fps before everything exploded in KSP
Holy smokes, that was still amazingly impressive. That behemoth lifting off the ground was a sight to behold!
yeah watching it come back to earth in pieces was even more impressive.
The way it flew too, looked just like the renders. And the shot of the engines are just stunning
Stunning launch etc. albeit failed. All the hollering is not necessary!
Kind of hilarious to hear the announcer "I DO want to remind everything, everything after the launch was icing on the cake!" How obsequious to the company do you have to be, lol. Clearly it failed where it could have succeeded and gone to space had the calculations and aerodynamics been correct.
Your Chanel is so cringe
this is why SpaceX will achieve something farther than we can imagine. they are cheering not because it exploded, but because they learned a lot. it's something that we should embody, do not fear failure.
Privatizing NASA is only going to hinder our efforts. Space exploration needs to be properly funded, cutting/externalizing costs is not the answer.
The mental gymnastics Musk fans will do to protect him...
Elon: "This was intended. I was testing new fireworks"
Well,.. eventually when these things are manned I hope a less educational method is used.
@@FromTheFens219 Do u realize what u just watches u FKN idiot lol??
props to all the hard working team who spent years to built this rocket, even if it was a fail in test but it still did lift off with no problems. also we can learn alot from mistakes, success comes from failure. im cheering for the space x in thier next mission.
exactly!
The wonderful thing about the design it's it's literally just a heavily modified steel grain silo with engines and a pointy end
So it's (relative to other rockets )really easy to make another one
Hardworking, you got to be kidding 😂. All science made up to today is only to avoid hardworking. Hardworkers wouldn't install wings and then praying to their gods😂
Not really a failure top icing on the top really.
Well said! 👍
Regardless of the outcome, that was the launch of the heaviest rocket ever made.
I love that they Americans applauded when starship blew up. Their willingness to push forward and optimism is what will get people to mars.
I'm definitely going to book a ticket for my mother in law on the next flight...💥
I see your bets are on failure for next attempt 😁
😂
🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
💀💀💀
Every second it was flying was invaluable information transmitted to the ground. The fact that multiple engines failed and looked like one or two exploded but still kept going was very impressive.
Well. Impressive in the sense that their failed launch caused an impressive explosion, yes. It is.
@Scott Henderson except it wasn't a failed launch but okay...
Muskcucks coping hard rn
@@rang930 you are only insulting your own intelligence with comments like that
Everyone gets a trophy generation cheering after failure. Go team go! We did it!
Made me laugh when they were still cheering when it exploded 😅
Man, that’s incredible! How slow it looks on take off even though it’s just raw power. 😮
It's heavy as hell
It was slow on launch because a dozen engines failed at ignition.
It lost 3 engines on lift off and didn't smash into the launch tower. 👍
What utter nonsense
@@1ndragunawan 6*
Safely exploded. The fact that it took off, is impressive. A huge step forward for the team. The starship could not separate from the heavy booster, yet gave us a tremendous eruption.
Yeah, something must've deformed (or maybe iced over) during launch, the clamps or whatever kept the 2 vehicles locked together. Shame, really, but still impressive
@@ShrekMeBe I was thinking the same, maybe the liquid nitrogen iced the separation system, especially at that altitude and high speed, made it times worse.
They blew it up themselves, it was a success launch as they were testi g its launching capabilities without destroting the launch tower...incase it got past that they filled starship with fuel but the separation mechnaism malfunctioned and starship wouldnt separate from the rocket, and because starship is full of fuel they remotely detonated it for safety reasons.
It way all part of the contingency, as the first test wass just to get the rocket launched ...but the test rocket is outdated thats why they didn't expect orbit and were only testing the launch capabilities as they have 2 more ready with 100s of improvements ready constructed and ready to go
This paid message was brought to you by SpaceX...🤣🤣🤣
It looks like a few engine failed/damaged, then didn’t shut off so separation couldn’t happened so used the flight termination system, BBC blocked all the info at the bottom of the screen
The most Kerbal launch ever!
A normal day in KSP
When you make your first rocket while skipping the tutorial XD
@@Ziknich When you tried launching but pressing the spacebar activates the parachute.
those spin is the most KSP thing ever
Lol
It was a test flight and a very successful one, as stated the launch itself was the test anything after that was icing on the cake, what an amazing engineering team, and what an amazing spectacle.
Why is this test flight different from any other, I’m curious not too educated on this launch
@@bgiam8 SAME HERE
@@bgiam8 I would say it was just the sheer size of the craft and the fact it actually got off the ground safely.
I watched this live on right the moment it explodes, honestly props for them for cheering when it's exploded, even though it's a sad ending, they make it what it's worth. They must have learnt a lot by this point, I'm sure we'll see a perfect launch one day
Yeah..still happy tho it finally launch 🎉🎉
Exactly. Most of them didn't actually expect the launch to succeed all the way. I think Elon said he though the odds of reaching orbit on this launch were 50-50. I think they were cheering because although it went bad, they got a lot of valuable data out of it. And, more importantly, the rocket was able to got through MaxQ unscathed which is a big big plus. Obviously something went wrong at MECO, but I think that's something they'll be able to fix on the next attempt. Seeing this launch, if they fix MECO I think they'll succeed in the next launch attempt
i honestly find it hilarious when it starts wobbling, its a 120m tall spinny boy lol.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
.. trillion dollars launch. Suxha waste of money
Flipped 4 times, that is a huge structural success.
Imagine how sturdy it was
yeah man I thought the same when I was watching it tumbling around like crazy.
@Abdo Abdo Fuck off, liar!
I thought it would break from the middle but didn't. That's even a success...!!! Hopefully next flight test will be success
When I sow that I was wondering if they had any stress sensers mounted at the joints?
_Sir, why are they cheering?_
ISRO: they're rich people
ISRO has done amazing things, they were undoubtedly cheering almost as loudly as the SpaceX employees when watching this launch, and they'd know precisely what a huge achievement this was. I personally think your statement is rude to the people of ISRO.
@@KSCPMark6742 I'm sorry if this sounds rude. I have utmost regard for our scientists at ISRO.
People: I'm proud and they'll learn from their mistakes.
Musk: Ah shit. There goes my billions
He never worried about his billions 🫠
He isn’t paying for this out of pocket…
Some people were clueless about what they were celebrating
celebrating the bright side lol
The clapping during the explosion is the best part.
Why is it done so?
I didnt understood the point pf clapping there?
The moment it reached maximum aerodynamic pressure, the entire launch was a success. This was THE FIRST LAUNCH EVER and it made it to the point where 99% of new rockets fail to reach on their first launch.
Saturn V
@@alexboehm7171 Saturn 5 was an exception because the skill of people who built it was more amazing than the design itself. They had a huge team of master welders the likes of which the world had never seen. The design was hugely complex in someways and probably all together would be unreliable but the skill was so high they overcame it. Besides that Saturn 5 is jus the previous rockets changed to work with a name change. 99% of the rocket was probably already tested in the previous launches.
@@gabriels5105 Also Saturn V was constructed with the help of multiple coorporations and Starship is a sole endeavor of Space X not to metion the fact that the Starship is taller, 160% heavier, produces more than 200% of thrust when compared to Saturn V.
Making it past [maximum aerodynamic pressure] is the biggest challenge, that also tends to be most deadly where it fails. A stage not firing is mostly harmless, just more expensive.
The Shuttle program failed 2x at [aerodynamic pressure], killing all astronauts. Apollo11 lost 2/3 power+water generators in a small explosion. Appollo1 was the last time, when we used "mostly oxygen" in pressurized capsules, being too much of a fire-hazard. Just saying, there are many much worse fail-cases, where emergency-ejection-systems can not prevent death.
What? 99% of new rockets fail? Citation Needed!
Gave me goose bumps. To be part of a team like that - see how they celebrates even when it "failed" because they know it was still a massive success. Well done!!!
An elaborate firework followed up with cartoons for gullible adults
It blew up, what success🤣🤣this is called a failure
Damn, imagine hating Space travel... what kind of f*ckery mindset is that?
If this is what you call a massive success I'd hate to see what a failure looks like 🙄
@@Beyond_Belief534 Did you actually watch the video?
That’s what progress LOOKS like, congratulations SpaceX.
Anything that explodes is progress.

Erm, Nasa have already been to the moon, Elon has gotten how far?
Here here!
Tell me you're in a cult, without telling me you're in a cult.
Tell everyone you're a clueless troll without telling anyone you're a clueless troll.
😂😂😂
Crazy how it survived all those G, seems like the next one will be successful.
It was successful! Mission Control detonated the self destruct after the booster didn’t separate. Standard procedure.
Yet more billions spent when people need food
Amazing result for first test. Remember their Falcon fleet 'failed' multiple times but each time they learn and improve. These are now the most reliable and mostly reusable rockets in action. They will do the same with Starship. Major milestones achieved today. Well done SpaceX!!
This paid message was brought to you by SpaceX...🤣🤣
@@msp5138 sometimes sponsors speak for themselves: ) Seriously though, it's great to see something like this and all the positivity around it. Makes a nice change!
Every failed launch makes the next one better
Auuhhh... i am a bit lost here..which part is the reusable part again?
@@alainrobinson7711 The booster on the Falcon 9 rocket that currently launches over once a week just now lands itself and is reused. Starship will be fully reusable when in operation.
I saw the launch in person today. It was unreal. The rocket is so loud that I thought my ear drum was gonna burst
Fake launch you were hypnotised 😅
you lie
Bruh I saw the launch and I got photos lmaoooo why tf would they fake a launch
When I was in Florida in the '90's I went to watch a Shuttle launch.
👍🇮🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺
Lucky you! I can imagine being a few miles away from the mighty 'megasaurous rocket' (that's what I call it lol it's made up 😂). I heard the ground was shaking quite violently because of the rocket's power from insanity.
I like how the guy goes "we are still waiting for stage separation" even after the rocket is clearly out of control, and fire is coming out of unusual places.
the plan was to separate with spin, and no mechanical pushers so the spin was normal in the beginning. Because the separation didn't happen, the booster continued flipping without the boostback.
The spin is for stage separation. The hold down system did not release, hence the continued spinning as the booster then had more load than was expected.

I see a success not a failure!
Congratulations to the team!
You set a very low bar for success.
@@public.public yeah man exactly.... all these BETA males cheering for anything
yeah I see a very expensive fireworks show gone wrong. It FAILED to accomplish what they wanted it to. Don't know about you but hey yes you can learn from it. But don't say it didn't fail. It did exactly that.
It's good to see that the tradition, going all the way back to the very first space rockets, of declaring the mission a success if it goes higher than the launch tower is still standard practice.
"The tower has been cleared"
Ahahaha lets go China!!!!!
Iclove that they clap when it explodes and falls apart 😂
they are such sheep they dont even know whats happening

@@sim.ulationkoyo they definitely know what they are cheering on more than you do. i bet nobody cheered you for your success and failures😂😂 living in your moms basement really got your way of thinking tbh
I just seen a headline, elons spaceship has succesful launch. I guess different people have different ideas of success lol
Hey :) the BBC headline is misleading.
It had a fully successful launch....did it sucesfully reach orbit....no, but the first test was not aiming for orbit.....
The test was nit to reach orbit...it was to test if it could get off the ground without destroying the launch tower, and anything else is bonus data collection,
Its separation mechanism failed but the test rockets are jsually 2 or 3 iterations behind their latesttech....so its likely they fixed that issue already ...
but to retrofit any improvement onto a test rocket is far too costly so the first test is always aiming for a sucessful launch....
Then the next test will have all the improvements, many which will already have been solved....and they get a ton of ral world data
Test 2 will be them testing for orbit....
Test 3 will be orbit then landing back on earth sucessfully....

"The tower has been cleared"
@@conordyer2307 hey" know it all" they wanted it to do a separation and then a soft water landing. Well guess what it FAILED miserably . So it accomplished clearing the tower. That was all it accomplished it did not separate nor did it do a soft water landing. So all in all yeah they will learn from it but this test was a FAIL. Try and spin your crap anyway you want. It failed to do what it set out to do.
They apparently didn't cheer loud enough for the rocket.
The fact that it left the launch pad is a huge feet of accomplishment. Hats off to Elon and his amazing team at Space X..Saluuu
Hi...
Glad to hear from you.
I appreciate your support
Where are you watching from?
@@Charliehunnamprivate01 congrats on the launch. But if it didn't accomplish all that it was designed for how can you not call it a failed test. Yes you can learn from what it did accomplish but in the end it failed to do what you wanted it to do. No harm in it there have been many many many failed test over the years but they still learned from it and improved on what went wrong. But if it comes right down to it bottom line is it did fail. Better luck on the next one. Sorry if that hurts feelings but if I design a car that is supposed to go 400mph and it only goes 350 did I fail? Well yes I did but can I learn from it? why yes I sure can. So next time it does not fail. It was a huge accomplishment but that is what is wrong in America they have no idea the definition of the word fail. Spin it any way you want. I really do hope every launch is better than the last but until it accomplishes all that you want it to its a fail.It may do a lot of things you set out to do but it still failed in other areas. No matter how you want to spin it.
@@user-ob5ek6jj5z it's not the real elon 😂
LOL wow what a great use of money

Target is only to clear the tower but it went further. Its a successful 1st launch, congrats SpaceX team!
target was to orbit the earth in 90 minutes then land again. Not just clear the tower yours is a moronic statement at best.What La la land of information did you research. never mind its in your name have another bottle Wino.
You spoke my mind.
Huh? I don’t understand your point? What do you mean?
@@akeemMali The purpose of this was to test the first stage rocket to see if it would launch. The test was a success.
@@DOLEnterprisesyou don't need to do a test to prove it can launch. We know rockets work.
A successful test would have left enough pieces to recover and reuse...
Still not as expensive a disaster as buying Twitter though... 🤣
During the Gemini era of spaceflight one of the engineers made the comment "You can't test a match". That's always stuck with me. This is the biggest match we've lit yet. 🙂
I love that
was on board and this is his comment and his great video...
Yet the goal is to relight the match :)
Those are the pioneering steps towards more sustainable and more efficient space travel, the amount of work that has gone so far into reaching to this pojnt is amazing and the whole team is amazing, nothing but respect all who worked on this!!!!
in other words, it's a total waste of money, just like the supposed moon landing.
"sustainable"
@@dummy9517 go along with it

I think you’ve been listening to the musk gang just gaslighting you. No aerospace engineer from what I’ve been reading thinks this was the “oodles of data” they’re claiming was collected.
I wish people would have more enthusiastic in saving their beautiful planet than exploring a new one.
When we eventually push out into space, we will take the same problems with us.
The Sun: Starship is shit.
Everyone else: Amazing work everyone, congratulations!
The sun has the right to shun when he has seen all that live beneath it.
This technology is primitive and destructive.
@PROBABILITY IS LIFE So once was most of the technology we take for granted today. You ever been on a plane or taken a taxi? Would you prefer those never to have existed? What about microwaves, did they ever go through an equivalent phase?
and people still believe we got to the moon in 1969 haha
*"Billionaire shows off his giant rocket and it explodes early, surprising absolutely no one. More at 11."*
This is so so cool to watch even with the failures because the clearing of the tower was their goal, and yet they still managed to push it even that much further. Looking forward to the next steps of this venture!
What??? I bet that if had exploded at lunching, the goal would have been to just look at the infrastructure. Anyone can see through the crap, stop it.
@@JOELVAT If you actually knew anything about this then you would know that that was the plane for a long time. Thats why they didn't even have a plan to recover it. This was 100% successful.
to bad they were not riding it instead of elons dick
I think the main thing achieved today was the fact that it went through MaxQ with no issues. Clearly something went wrong at MECO, but for a first try it went amazingly well
@@freeforall825 dude, did you even hear the narrator about getting ready for landing? Did you see Elon’s face as the rocket was making circles and exploded? In what fictional world do you live in? This level of simping is worrying me as a society. Facts: they lunched, did not get to orbit, and unexpectedly exploded showing that they will need many more tests before a person can be in one of this. There. Good luck in fantasy land.
I watch this as reel today, Someone wrote beautiful comment on reel, it was this > It's not a failure for SpaceX. When things fail, they cheer because it's a way for them to figure out what went wrong to prevent manned missions from having problems with reentry and reaching orbit They go by the mindset, "Fail fast, learn faster!" It's genius. -
Just a big firework. Nothing more to see here 🧨🎆
Everything after clearing tower was icing on the cake... inotherwords, the launch was a huge success👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
if you look carefully at the white part near the bottom of it you can see some of its outer layer shattered off during take off.
it's so cool how you can just tell how passionate everyone in that room is with the cheering
When John said we are flying at twice thrust of the Saturn 5 heading to space I got goosebumps.
BBC need to rename the title to "explodes after SUCCESSFUL launch." Incredible achievement from SpaceX, can't wait for the next launch after some fine tuning 👌
The BBC don't like Elon because he's white and believes in freedom of speech hence inaccurate title
A more accurate title would be "Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship rocket flight purposely terminated after launch", because nothing on the rocket that was used to fly it blew up. It was blown up on purpose using explosives, like most other rockets have.
@@henrikmikaelkristensen4784 That is a much better title indeed 👌
Or what a complete waste of time and money...they were flying rockets to the moon in the 60s...and don't bother with the How much better this rocket is ...those ones didn't blow up...and the 60s was over half century ago ... pathetic

For anyone that doesn't know what failure means, google it. failure is defined as "lack of success". Elon said chances are 50/50, and the mission briefing said everything past the tower is a success, so if it makes it past the tower they will get a considerate amount of info for future tests, which is, by definition not "lack of success".
Just brilliant. I love the comments here too. So great to see so many in support. They'll learn more from this than they would a successful landing.
How many times this happened?

Impressive, kudos to the entire Crew and I believe they will not be discourage by that. SpaceX 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can’t get an unmanned rocket to work, but we landed on the moon 60 years ago…yeah right..🙄
You have no idea what your talking about. This is the FIRST flight of starship. Do you realize how many rockets and iterations went to orbit, and unmanned missions to the moon before they landed on it??? No clearly you don’t .
That's like saying because wooden boats were built before, building a massive ship of steel is basically the same thing. The goal isn't doing the same thing again, but improve on it. And like any other experimental tech, failures are expected to create a final working product.
SpaceX uses iterative development, not waterfall. It's the same methodology used most widely in software development now. Failures are built into the process and totally expected. (And SpaceX has always been careful to set expectations for their prototype tests).
You are all missing the point. I was a small child when the so called moon landing was being sold as truth to the world. No one had even heard of mobile phones, it was a big thing if your family had a black and white tv and mind blowing if you had a colour tv. Microwave ovens didn’t exist. Computers didn’t exist, unless they were the size of a school gymnasium but certainly not for household use. So basically we didn’t have the technology to achieve a moon landing. Then there was nothing for decades…..nothing! No other attempt at ‘space travel’…Why?….because it was a hoax, because we could not do it! We still can’t do it, with all the advancements we have made, even Elon Musks rocket exploded before it reached space. Please don’t tell me about the pathetic attempts at space travel involving animals..I don’t believe those either, or the other manned flights into space….all hoaxes! I challenge you to prove any of it happened. The Van Allen belt is lethal, just as another point of fact. Yet the space shuttle was made of tin foil in places. It is impossible to traverse it and survive at the moment, let alone back then. Stop believing everything you are told, follow the money and you will see the truth.
@@canuckcanadian753 …yes I do….thank you for that because it proves my point! Nothing can survive the Van Allen belt for a start…..it’s lethal! Shooting stuff beyond the atmosphere is hardly an achievement and if we landed on the moon, how come we haven’t done it again? Huh? I think it’s you who doesn’t know what you are talking about. Sheep….🐑
Applause for Explosion, 😂😂😂
Stage separation was a problem even back in the day. That's why dummy loads were used to save cost until the problems were solved.
The amount of information they got from this launch is what we won. Can't get better than that
Information like what ?
Even Elon Musk said 'anything more than a lift-off from the platform itself' would be a success. It clearly was a success at this point. Job well done. What a spring among those cheering. Bravo!!!

Do people seriously not see the game here?
hahaha you obviously know jack squat about space travel and technology lol, the system shown here is not even closely related to the system we used in 1969, in fact it is far more complicated hence the large boom. The only reason we haven't been back to the moon is A) cost (NASA got like 100x more funding than it does now back then) and B) modern safety requirements, now days we need to be 99.999% sure those astronauts are safe, back then they would be 60% sure and just send it anyway.
I'm amazed by the redundancy. How all those engines went out without the failures cascading into the destruction of the other engines.
Musk should focus on Rockets again and not failing at social media
He is doing great at social media, bringing back free speech.
He bought twitter at +44 $ billion USD while you knock that keyboard here. So that's it.
@@briannave7326 he literally banning people he don't like and half of his likes and follower are bot! 😂😅
If that doing great, you got a lot of problems! Lol
@@briannave7326 My guy, he literally had to bring back shadow banning because he realised there's actually a really important reason for blatant hate speech to be suppressed on a site that needs to make money. On top of that, he's previously banned the accounts of journalists that said things he didn't like.
Amongst other hilarious failures, such as buying it in the first place and proceeding to alienate their biggest advertisers. Bringing in a subscription service that no one wants to the extent that now anyone with a blue tick looks like a moron. Sacking vital members of staff, and in doing so breaching multiple employment laws. Promising to step down and then not doing so. Actively suppressing the "free-speech" he loves so much by limiting the reach of non-paying users and stopping them from voting in any polls.
Twitter 2.0 is "roughly breaking even". The failure is with loss-making Twitter 1.0's administrators.
Blame it on Russia or Usama bin Laden 🤣🤣🤣
It blows my mind what we were able to achieve over 60 years ago 🤔👏
We destroyed the technology 😅
@@covidwasacon incorrect, we have better technology now, it's the hardware we don't have. And why would we. It's 60 years out of date.
@@CheradenZakalwe You seriously believe that 🤣
@@livingstone8347 We do in fact have better technology now. Lol
The stuff we used 60 years ago is waaaaay simpler. Starship uses full stage combustion engines, and 33 of them, and it burns a methalox propellant. None of that has been anywhere near accomplished in the past. And just look at the ease with which SpaceX launches and lands Falcon 9s multiple times a week, which itself is a much more advanced system than anything we did 60 years ago. And Starship is orders of magnitude more advanced system than that....
Lesson to be learned: if you fail, make sure you do it on schedule and you do it big!
What if the debris just flattened somebody
the rocket was flying overseas to avoid anything like that happening if the rocket were to explode, so all the debris would just drop into the sea
It's over the ocean. Almost all launches (especially in the US) happen near the sea.
Trajectory was over the ocean, and the entire flight path was set to be clear days before launch
All rocket launches have a restricted safe-zone in case something like this happens.
Wotabout the fish?
Imagine building this for months or years and then you see this…
It could have been absolutely "stunning" for those who would have traveled inside it!
Just imagine how environmentally friendly Elon Musk is risking the earth's environment under the name of space expedition.
Firstly
What a sight!! “Fantastic” “great work!
And then Er pelease!!! this is in the name of er science! Not about environment! Anything is possible in the name of science, pharmaceuticals
I digress, apologise
Excellent show…
Fireworks too…
Well done!!
Btw where has all the exploded matter/scrap/leftovers of starship gone? 🧐🤔
You friggin enviro babies are exhausting. We can't even see the thumbs down number because of cup cakes like you, and your feelings.🙄
Kerbal Space Program 2 is looking very realistic 🤣
The fact that it took off is a big win. Bravo team SpaceX
Their supposed to take off
FINALLY, found out why I had no sleep at 2:38 AM. Thank god
Damn, wished for a better outcome. Props to all of the team members who were involved with the development and execution.
Me too but we have to be realistic this was already one of the best outcomes
This is the first sane comment I've seen on this video lool it failed ppl..not to say the next one will..bit how y'all all like wow what an achievement..f me everyone's lost it since co vd lol
@@kellyslatter3032 the goal for this test was to get it to leave the launch pad without destroying everything.That's what happened and then some
the rockets they were launching in 1969 were so terrible that they didn't explode at all. glad to see we've improved launch-to-scrap times exponentially since then.
The rockets launched in 1969 had flight termination systems just like this one has. They are used on purpose to tear up the fuel tanks, if the rocket changes out of its planned trajectory to avoid it crashing onto the ground. This flight was purposely terminated.
For the kind of accident you would accuse Starship of having here, you should rather consider Challenger in 1986, because it did NOT explode because of its flight termination system, but because its propulsion system was compromised.
@@henrikmikaelkristensen4784 so was the ship supposed to blow up
@@HOG_ZONE There was no other option after 30 seconds into launch, when the hydraulic power unit blew up, leaving the rocket unable to do attitude control or do stage separation.
The only question is how long would they want to fly it to gather more data on this first flight, where there is opportunity to study unique stresses one the rocket frame, but ultimately, it has to be terminated, when the flight systems are compromised.
It's simply what you do, when the rocket can't fly properly. Every Western rocket is built like that.
i hope no one lost the job for it.. it sure looked expensive..
This isn't some woke tech corporation run by highly paid liars pretending to be engineers. This is now rocket science and engineering works, test fail test and fail again and keep testing with data collected until it works.
they expected failure, what are you even getting at?
@@ohsnap6506 i am assuming the "they" didnt include Elon Musk cos his expression when it blew up didnt show he expected it.. you must be referring to the audience cheers.
@@lingth so your going off his facial expression and not the tweets before saying he pretty much expected it to fail. Your a thinker
Even NASA can't launch like this heavy 🚀 ELON MUSK never give up guy
It was able to go through multiple stages and many probably knows that the flip is where its going to take challenge midflight but with this is actually more than enough data that spacex team got
It didn't get through the first stage which is take off and separation.
This is what will bring us fellow humans together. It gives me goosebumps seeing that the cheering just got louder after then explosion. It shows that we are beginning to understand that failure does not mean we have failed. It means we are inching never closer to success and achieving a goal so large it was once thought impossible. Thank you Elon. You are truly inspiring. You are the real Tony stark. You are the real iron man.
unfortunately elon musk is just a marionette . the technology to go into 'space' is already far beyond what the public are shown. radio frequency, teleportation of matter and the use of projection and holographic projection are s just a few examples of the methods used in the upper realms of the compartmentalized structure of NASA. the moon is a inorganic, hollow satellite which is used to manipulate the waves of frequency that the realm of the mind decodes. the moon manipulates water and therefore this means the moon can manipulate the decoding process of the human body and the energetic fields that DNA decodes. elon musk is funded by the upper compartments of the global cult network. the sinister goal to implement star link and therefore encase the globe with the harmful emfs from these satellites is not something that will help bring humanity together. instead this will help manipulate the frequency waves of the earth purposefully, in order to distort and oppress human frequency field. Musk's work is deadly and carefully mapped out to follow sinister global agendas. he acts like a righteous man but in truth he is the face of what the establishment stand for. calling him an 'iron' man is actually not that much of an inaccuracy... considering what inorganic force he represents.
Before it is the country that fires rockets into space, now there's individuals.
This was absolutely amazing. Really gets you excited for the future!
Exactly, but next lauch must be New Years eve at least save from fireworks
There is no future 😂😂😂
nonsense future.. it exploded exactly like the challenger in 1986.. almost 40yrs later we still making same silly dangerous mistake on these rockets
@@fidelcatsro6948your a dumbass…
It blew up spin doctor...🤣🤣🤣
Rip to the first people that eventually launch on space x
This is what happens when people just read the title, not watch the video fully, not reaearching for a minute for context. 😂 lmao “know before you comment”
that's A LOT of engines
It blew up ! What else is new
Why so much hate man, regardless of it blowing up it’s okay it’s just a test flight. You should feel excited humanity is moving to a new era!
Looks like all those Space/ Sci-fi films slowly becoming reality 🚀🚀🤘🤘🤘
SpaceEx: Hands down, well done.
Drunks on the sideline cheering for no bloody reason: have another pint, and find another rocket
