Simply brilliant work. Out of 8 billion humans you are the only one to pull this off. Hope you get the credit you deserve
I'm pretty sure his staff had a little input... but he was guiding it all and probably hired the best he could find.
mucha gente joven en el staff
One in an enigma. 🤔
Damnmnmn right 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Outstanding
LOL out of 8 billion humans. Wtf. As if all of us were standing there trying to capture the same shot 😂😂
Congratulations, once again a wonderful shot ! It was a honor to process those fantastic pictures, can't wait to see what you'll come up with next.
Et félicitation à notre Techniques spatiales national !
Thank you! I gave you a sub and I'll check out your footage as well.
Thank YOU for your efforts.
I have subbed to your channel and look forward to more from you.
Peaceful Skies.
@@POLY_HTCS J'espère que Poly n'était pas sur le Starship quand il s'est transformé en supernovae !?😉😋 Guys, watch Poly's videos, they are so beautiful !!!🥰
Du Grand Art !!!
Absolutely fantastic. Well done on being able to capture something that really, no one else was able to. Magnificent.
Well said big man.
wow it's marcus! 😎 do you think it would have burnt up on reentry? or melted of fragmented?
@@keithpenny1119 there are photos and footage of it doing so. yes.
@@kpkndusa thanks
Hey hey! It’s Marcus House!
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING FOOTAGE!!! It didnt take very long to have that guy stabilize the footage!! You can definitely see it rotating along the vertical axis and it for sure is still burning from the RUD!! YOU MY FRIEND definitely have arguably the most critical footage that needs to be reviewed by SpaceX!! JOB WELL DONE SIR!
I was going to comment, but you said it all….wonderfully!
Great footage indeed but I doubt it "is still burning from the rud". I think it's is tumbling while still intact probably because one or two of the vac raptors lost thrust.
Pretty sure SpaceX has this coverage when having sensors and cameras on the ship.
I don't think it's accurate to say "burning" post-RUD - more like venting. Most likely the propellants from the header tanks in the nose cone from the ruptured plumbing...
@@karlkarlsson9126 no because it was blown up by the AFTS before we see this. Not even the NASA planes were anywhere near this when it happened, so lets appreciate for a moment just how uniquely lucky we are to have this footage.
This is insane!! You can see the frostline of the methane tank still! This is truely one of a kind footage. You captured starship after breakup almost 100 MILES in the air, THATS INSANE!!!
The music's drama heightens the poignancy of the Starship's struggle for survival until its final moments, truly deserving of an Oscar. ... 😢😭😱 I just feel sorry for the Starship. LOL
Congrats! You have now officially contributed to the starship program. Amazing work
How?
@@user-ib6cf8kg4l He chronicled the death throws of S25.
What do you not comprehend?
@@user-ib6cf8kg4lSpaceX asked them to send footages
@@user-ib6cf8kg4l Without telemetry, how SpaceX can know what happened to Starship ? This footage shows us why it went to turn the FTS on.
@@user-ib6cf8kg4l I gave the footage to SpaceX after they reached out. It's just a small part, but it feels good to know it'll be put to good use.
Can’t imagine the great shots you’re going to get in the future. You’ll just get better and better. Amazing stuff. Thank you.
R.I.P Starship 25. The first Starship to make it to Space.
And the heaviest man made object to enter space ever
Really???
@@ancientcolors
@@isaiahPVT yeah, the heaviest single object, if you count its fuel it's over 1100 metric tons when it crossed into space, about 2.44x the mass of the ISS. If you're not counting fuel, it's still up there at over 120 tons, 1/4 mass of the ISS.
@@fossteraholy $hit. Didn’t know that. That’s insane
@@fosstera Great information, man. Love spaceflight fan and community.
“What About It!?” told us to come and watch this. 😂
@@richard--s No, this is from IFT-2. This is a downrange video of what happened to the Starship upper stage after it's rud.
@@jeremyamac Yes, I got my comment wrong, sorry. The rotation speed looked like the first booster, but it was the nose cone and a few of the topmost barrel sections.
Yes, I was wrong, sorry!
I was in Puerto Rico for vacation and saw either starship or a huge peice of debris from startship fly over about 30-60 secs after Sapce X lost communication with it. It was a bright white ball of white light zooming acorss the sky. It made my day tbh. I wish i was able to record it
It was probably the big piece you see here in this video!
This speaks really well of Stainless steel resistance and quality of design. That thing is spinning erraticaly with a huge hole beneath at who knows what speed yet its holding without breaking apart.
I hope that @scottmanley has seen this absolutely fantastic footage. Nice work on processing the data, and thanks for sharing it with us!
Who?
The music complements the ballet like movements of the spin.Congratulations on a fantastic capture, and kudos to 'The French space Guy' for the stabilisation
WOW, what a nice clean up of the original video. Kudos to you for capturing this and to the Friend who cleaned it up and stabilised the video.
The guy is in the comments, his name is "French Space Guy."
and here all the frames are photoshopped
Absolutely incredible video. SpaceX should hire you guys for all the future launches and give you a nice budget to get what you need to do this even better. You've captured details I am sure they need to see. Having cameras on telescopes down range can only be an advantage for them. Great that "amateurs" have shown just how they can do the work of the pros on tiny a budget !! Great work !
It’s like a miracle to see these images! We may understand better how the starship exploded
Amazing that you were able to capture this. Incredible work.
Was sad watching that video of Starship struggling but it kept going forward as it rotated and spun... magnificent achievement.
Thank you SO much for introducing me to the beautiful music of Scott Buckley. I've made my own video of the launch using one his pieces.
I used Buckley's piece "Soar" for my Starship video. Seemed appropriate. ruclips.net/video/nRjXajUFMnQ/видео.htmlsi=NO2kb0zZRV4CkQ7v
Linked to this by Scott Manley... and I must say, this is truly brilliant. Great, difficult idea, and well done. Bravo!
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for all the work you put into getting these shots.
I keep re-watching this video 🤩. My "best guess" to summarize this is that damage occurred to the LOX line for one of the main engines during hot-staging, which progressively worsened until catastrophic engine failure.
The first puff in other videos and the drop in LOX levels from telemetry support the LOX line damage. The second puff was likely one of the main engines exploding, possibly from the resulting imbalance to the oxygen/fuel delivery to that engine. Since only 2 of the remaining main engines were firing this put the vehicle into a flip, shortly followed by FTS. The only section remaining would be the nose cone area since this location doesn't hold fuel.
What do you all think about this assessment? Any other theories? Comment below 🙂
- Bending Grid (Synthwave Music)
I think it was Gremlins
what makes you think lox was leaking?
@@theretrogator It's in other videos of the launch, it shows a few sharp drops in the oxygen vs the fuel.
Bravo on the investigative skills! It's like you're unraveling the rocket's secret diary. If this were a space-themed detective novel, you'd be the lead investigator. 🧑🚀🕵♂️ #rocketsleuth
Was the lox line damaged by an engine fire? 🔥🔥🔥 anyway cool stuff here
Phenomenal capture! incredible to see S25's forward section tumbling after the AFTS destroyed the aft section!
This vid showed up in my feed so just now discovered your channel... Big space buff so follow all the big channels (S.Manley,Everyday Astronaut, etc...) and now have a new one to follow... Stunning footage and job well done. Thanks for your hard work(and Frenchspaceguy). You two have gained a new loyal viewer.
Fantastic work! Really incredible footage! Well done!
Thank you for giving us the end result. The SpaceX engineers can now see the road ahead.
As always great work :) thanks for everything you do ;) have a nice day.
THANK you for this video.
I appreciate your efforts and not simply because I get to share the results. I am truly appreciative that you have chronicled this event for all of history and shared this with all of humanity.
I was happy with the footage of the second launch and pleased that it went much better than the first.
What you did was actually make me feel emotion and a sense of loss at the "death throws" of the S25 vehicle.
Kudos and curses to you for that.
A hunk of metal ***CAN*** mean an awful lot to an awful lot of folks.
Thank you for reminding me of that.
Wow! What a capture. Absolutely phenomenal.
Incredible footage and brilliant OST you chose. I cried while seeing the Starship fighting to recover, as if he didn't want to die.
Wonderful work all around. Thank you for your efforts.
Very cool, amazing tracking and cleanup
Once more, excellent stuff.
Thanks for your efforts.
It's honestly sad to see that thing broken up. I'd like to see it deliver
Damn dude, good job with the capture! True citizen science. I would have never known it spent so long chasing its tail!
Wow, thanks for capturing this POV!
Congrats on your incredible work!
THIS IS BRILLIANT WORK! Thank you so much.
Speechless. I am absolutely speechless.
You're amazing man. Incredible job!
Thanks so much.
I am very grateful that you were there and lucky enough to capture this footage. Reminds me of the SN11 nosecone which was also largely intact after the mid-air explosion in the fog.
Confirms my impression in IFT-1 that Starship fired boosters briefly after the booster exploded. The design went toward surviving touchdown, so you really have to hit it hard to make it break. They've only fueled it minimally and done landing hops, so I'm not really surprised that after a six minute burn the back end fell off at engine shutdown. More surprised it didn't do it sooner.
EXCELLENT WORK.
Thank you for sharing!
Superb 10/10 Stunning video. Greetings form the UK
I’ll be the one to comment on Scott Buckley’s music: I recognized it immediately!
Thanks for the amazing view.
Brilliant. Thank you!
This is epic!! Plus the music! I could cry! SpaceX Go Go Go!!!
Impressive. No, impressive is not enough praise for what you accomplished. Wow!! And thanks much for sharing
Absolutely amazing footage. Incredible!
Truly amazing capture and the music a wonderful pairing.
This is DRAMATIC!
And a bit sad, you feel for this lonely vehicle.
This is truly exceptional work! Your ability to capture something so unique is nothing short of magnificent. Congratulations on achieving such a remarkable feat! Your talent and dedication are commendable, and I'm in awe of the results. Well done indeed!
Tks for sharing and for being awesome
Amazing work! Thank you!
What a brilliant job guys! Absolutely captivating presentation!
I'm sure this work will help SpaceX figure out what happened... at a minimum it looks like the FTS simply cut the vehicle in half when it was activated.
Well now we know what happened to the ship. The leaking propellent that you can see on this footage is liquid oxygen. We know this because If you look at the SpaceX live stream at the end of the 2nd stage burn, just before the RUD, the amount of lox starts decreasing faster than methane. This is one of the things Scott Manley pointed out in his analysis of fight 2. The leak must have been caused by some sort of onboard explosion. The leak on the oxygen tank looks to have been on the side of the ship and would have generated enough thrust to make the ship spiral like we can see in your video. This spiral could have made the ship go off course enough to cause the onboard guidance computer to terminate the flight.
Absolutely stunning footage! Great work! Now you just need to go and apply for a job at SpaceX! (they would probably higher you on the spot)
Amazing!! Great work!!
Astounding work, keep at it.
Literally outstanding work! Respect!
I’m not crying, you are 😭
That is some amazing footage you got there. Well done.
This is simply amazing! Incredible work!
thank you, thank you for giving me an emotion
Very cool! Glad you put this on RUclips. I tried to find you on X when Felix from WAI shouted you out but this is so much easier!
Great work. Thank you!
Brilliant work 👏
that was bloody brilliant! 👏 subscribed
french guy came through , good stuff!
Fantastic footage! Great work.
I am so happy and crying in tears, Saturn V still the king!!!😅
Great work! Cheers
Gyönyörű haldoklás. Really outstanding record. Greeting from Hungary🎉
Congrats! Felix from WAI channel recommended your channel. Truly remarkable images, thank you. Subscribed!
Thank you!
Damn good catch, amazing filmwork!
Great work. You are contributing to the mission.
Here before this blows up!
Amazing and so sade !!!
What a great achievement. It’s amazing that you can see so much detail
Amazing footage !!!
Brilliant work. Very impressed
Wow, amazing footage!
That really was out of control. Good catch. 🙂👍
Amazing work!
This somehow triggers my sad memory on Challenger disaster.
You did exceptional work!
Great job 👏
Absolutely stellar effort sir! 🙌🙏❤️
Amazing...thanks. "The Death of a Star Ship"...😥 [OMG the music]🎶
Great shots of the third stage!
Awesome work!!! 👏🔥
I love that Nexstar GPS (I wish I had never sold mine (best optics I've owned)). Great planning and capture!
Right place, right time, right gear and the right skills!
Stunning.. and the music choice.. 10/10
great work!
Whoa! Piece of work
Excellent work by all concerned.
I kind of knew what to expect from the snippet I saw on X. I was not ready for that tragic music, it really got me in the gut, I shed a tear for that magnificent ship and the thousands of hours and hands and minds that went into her.
What an incredible shot! Has SpaceX reached out for the raw footage?
Pretty sure SpaceX has this coverage when having sensors and cameras on the ship.
@@karlkarlsson9126 I seem to recall they said they lost telemetry - but that maybe an excuse to us peons
Yes, they have, and I'm sending it all to them.
@@Astronomy_Live what a guy you are to share this with them. A1 super human :)
@@Astronomy_Live Awesome to hear 👏
Congratulations. Good work.
So it DID rotate and tumble quite a bit, I saw the live stream and couldn't figure out how the camera all of a sudden was gaining on the rocket and getting an angle from the front.
Nice work as always, the part where the gasses have a rainbow-color-effect is simply stunning!
THIS IS LEGENDARY - hands down. GREAT FCUKEN WORK.
