- Here is an update to my re-entry animation after Elon Musk noted that there will be no de-orbit/re-entry burn and the ship will have a 70% angle of attack when it hits the atmosphere.
My heart rate increases watching that. I can’t imagine such a thing.
And that's what they want you to travel in
jamal collier lol not me! I’ll be cheering from the peanut gallery!
Bet ya Elon loves this animation! Very cool!
@@bill_ruppert Looks like you don't have to just imagine it anymore :D
Ben actually irl the flip did not seem that bad. What an incredible flight.
Truly amazing!
Can't wait for the real thing...
The progress on the Starship is extremely fsst, but I wish it was even faster 😅
So does Elon Musk and me
So do i
@Anzu Wyliei OH FU
@Sfs rocket lab yes
@Sfs rocket lab called:big big fucking rocket
I don't doubt that SpaceX will get this to work reliably, but I can't imagine riding this thing is ever going to be less than terrifying.
well , i totally agree but riding any rocket is kinda terrifying in itself isnt it? :D You're basically sitting on a ton of (controlled) explosives.
@@dufzyy Unless your rockets uses SRBs, in which case you’re sitting on a ton of uncontrolled explosives!
@@dufzyy This is true, but at least that doesn't feed into our primal fear of falling. I expect it will always feel to those on board that the rocket ignition and flip manoeuvre has been left too late.
This sounds weird but I would go on that even though I’ll probably be extremely nervous about the landing, but I’ll go on it just to brag about it
@The Spiritus Project. I think this is fundamentally different. Those rockets have to light at the right moment. If they don't then the result is immediately catastrophic, and everyone on board dies.
Even in an aircraft, if something doesn't work when it should, there's almost always time to deal with the problem.
Now I get to like the video again!
Thank for the more accurate simulation.
When and IF NASA lands on the moon, or on mars, Starship will be waiting there to greet them!
With a refuelling service station, a takeaway bar and driving cyber trucks! :)
Damn. Lol
whose name is on the moon starship?
@@BPJJohn Elon Musk.
@The Spiritus Project. Spacex doesn't need money...Elon Musk is such a successful businessman that he will not need to beg at the public trough. And don't forget, if Biden is allowed to cheat his way into the Presidency, NASA will be set back at least for the next four years. There aren't any votes to buy or steal on the moon, or on Mars.
Awesome video Nick! That rocked! Can’t wait to see that in real life!
Blue Orgins, ULA, and Boeing: SPACEX BUILT THIS IN A USELESS FIELD. WITH A PILE OF SCRAP!
Nah, just Blue Origin and ULA.
@@porkypiggieboy isn't boeing is the part of ULA?
@@FarhanSyafiqFadhillah Yes, but I think ULA hating SpaceX comes from the Lockheed Martin side.
let's be fair, we all support every space industries
@@YaItxSmoothy not BLUE Origin
So interesting the video was over and gone before i remembered to hit the like button !!! :)
Back for the 2nd time... gave me goosebumps even.
I'm not gunna lie.. ive watched spacex for id say about a year now. Ive only just discovered your channel and I think your animations are by far some of the best I've seen! Hope to see a new updated video ft SN8,SN9 and maybe even SN10 if it lands 🤞.
We can only hope and pray that's how it's going to go.
propably not first few times tho :P
It will be fun to watch.
Just such a heart-stopping render! Thank you @NickHenning3D so much for your work!
Best work I'd seen from all the Starship reentry videos. Keep nailing!
The free fall part is crazy!!!!!
Gotta say, I admire your response to all those comments from the first video and inaccuracies. Great video here but both versions look wonderful
looks like one of those space ship's from a 1950's movie...
Thats because it is... Just 70 years late.
Exactly and that's the problem with it.
@@stuart207 What do you mean?
@@stuart207 How is that a problem chief?
But its REAL!!
Great sound track. Great animation. Great response to Elon. Better than a Rocky Mountain High.
That entry is what I’m talking about! I also really like that there are port and starboard indicator lights. I know there’s precedent for spaceships having them, but it just strikes me as so wonderfully quaint.
Yes Please !!!
NICE!!!
Awesome Nick! Completely sublime and ridiculous simultaneously. Super vision, super talented.
Great job Nick. Really helps visualise what will actually take place at re-entry. Thanks!
It definetely reminds me the Whale scene from "Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie! xD
There's nothing like watching this on a good Sunday morning, nice vid 👍
One concern blowpast heat on reentry through the moving hinged points do need additional heat shielding is a major concern.
Don't worry. I got this.
Thank You SPACEX and thank you Nick for these videos, keep it going.
Awesome and terrifying ...but also, awesome.
Great work. Visually fantastic, phisicly accurate. It will be "a good ride".
Great visualization! Much appreciated!👍
Nicely done, Nick. Truly impressive! A lot of time must have gone into building, rendering and animating this sequence. I hope Elon will see this!
I had always assumed that the Spaceship would glide down on those short stubby fins like the Space Shuttle did. I learned something new today.
While they look like wings, they have no control surfaces that would allow any appreciable lift. They are actually just giant steel airbrakes that allow the ship to pitch, yaw and roll based on how much of each fins surface is presented perpendicular to the angle of attack of the ship.
The fact this looks like something straight out of science fiction, and yet could be a reality in less than 10 Years time is astonishing
Less than 10 years? By the end of the decade, SpaceX is likely to have Earth to Earth travel and Starship 2.0.
THIS LOOKS SO GOOD NOW!! Amazing animation!!
Incredibly made!
Dude, that was sick.. kimi, neopork and the rest have some competition..
Imagine that you are in there. Imagine you are in there
and you're sitting down while entering the atmosphere.
All hell has broken loose, around you a sea of flames.
The vibrations and the trembling and the quake shakes
you through. Then comes the freefall phase.
You suddenly experience the weightless fall. If you are
still in your senses now, congratulations.
Every astronaut since the beginning of space flight has felt that terror upon re-entry. It goes with the territory. Even liftoffs are terrifying. You are sitting on a controlled explosion. Fun, huh?
There is no need to use the Raptor motors to set the ship upright. By simply retracting the rear wings, the Starship moves into the vertical position. Perhaps the RCS will speed up the process a bit.
You also don't need to go into the vertical position at the last minute, that will be only on Mars to take full advantage of the thin Martian atmosphere. On Earth, you could switch from the horizontal to the vertical position from a higher altitude.
That would seem a lot less chaotic. Doing all that crazy maneuvering so close to the ground looks scary. The way Falcon 9 lands just looks a lot more dignified.
Elon Musk said that is what will happen. Not big enough moment/not fast enough with just rear wings retracting. Engines will do all the heavy lifting (pun intended) to get it upright.
EDIT: Until hot gas thrusters. Then engines will do less
*Wow that looks like a ridiculously difficult landing procedure*
excellent, you could add the actual sound from the booster landing previously on the drone ship
Raptor sounds nothing like Merlin tho, so it wouldnt be accurate
I'm sure no one would mind, as it's a representation, not a wholly accurate scientific pursuit :)
wow, just wow
Truly impressing!
really nice :) Good job!!!!
awesome animation
I can imagine the United States having a Starship called “Space Force One”. Basically the space fairing version of the Air Force One. That will be when we have a ton of US citizens in space, so 2060, more or less.
Great work as usual. What software do you use?
excellent work! very similar to the atmospheric re-entry in 1st 5 minutes of Mandalorian Sn2Ep3
Fun fact, the text written in aurebesh just before he lands (and the ship falls over) is saying "Of Course I still Love you" translated to English for the landing area.
Bravo! Excellent. Now can you model what happened to the raptor #32?
Nice! You might as well be part of SpaceX’s marketing team with Elon himself providing direct feedback :-)
The best controlled belly-flop ever...!
History will be made in another level
That's going to be hellacious to watch, even from fifteen kilometers.
It looks like a B-29 Superfortress had a baby with a Titan Missile... It's beautiful.
Sick graphics work!
I hope to live long enough to ride one of these commercially and affordable
Love this update! And that music made me watch the previous version like 100 times - where is it from?
Holy sheeet! It’s a Maytag refrigerator coming out of the sky!
That was amazing!
That is so ridiculous in so many ways. Should be quite a site when you actually see it in person.
epic
Thank you for that!
It looks more realistic if you play it at 1.25 playback speed
So yeah.. I have all the faith in SpaceX but, I will not be on that first landing, my heart would probably explode
nice graghics
Very cool. I won't be long
We can only hope
Mandolerian ep 3 season two landing!
i think it was said that starship wouldnt need to use its main engines to get vertical again after the cold gas thrusters are put in, i think the main engines are only going to be used before that
Hot-gas thrusters, actually. But yes, I've heard the same... the Raptor-powered swoop is currently necessary because the existing cold-gas thrusters don't have the power to rotate the rocket quickly enough - but later it will be using more powerful methalox-fueled hot-gas thrusters for maneuvering, including rotating for landing.
Maybe I'm missing something. Why start engines before starting pitch up from "skydiver" position?
Because the engines that are going to pitch the rocket up
I _think_ that's something that might change over the evolution of the rocket, but in the short term, they're reliant on the vectored thrust from the main engines to rotate the craft upright... which means lighting the engines while still horizontal.
But I think longer term, the reaction control thrusters will be powerful enough to provide the same rotation... if so, we'd presumably see the pitch-up occurring slightly earlier, and the Raptors lighting partway through the maneuver instead of before it.
@@simongeard4824 Thing is, folding in the rear flaps would start the rotation, not requiring engine thrust vectoring or an "over rotation", the pendulum problem.
If it only goes that well in real life I'll be thrilled! What a wild ride it will be for the folks who will one day be on-board. Not for the faint at heart. I wonder what kind of Gs the ship will hit during those maneuvers... aka the "Come to Jesus" maneuver...
👏👏👏❤️️❤️️
The moon is reasonably close, and I think would be recognized as inhabiting another like a planet. Is the reason Mars is the goal because they predict they can gradually create an atmosphere there and make the planet green where they can't do that with the moon?
Am so happy
Sound can not travel through a Vacuum
We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!
rip the passengers stomachs
Landing won't be this
This is only for SN8 or more starship prototypes
Musk said it will be in vertical position when landing burn starts similar as Falcon 1st stage
The gimbal is far over aggressive and the pitch is far too fast.
what animator did you use?
Are we there yet?
Looks like a return from Mars rather than from earth orbit. I would expect a deceleration burn first with engines aimed towards the planet. Then reorient for aerobreaking.
hello, can i repost your video in portuguese for the brazillians to see? i'll puts the credits okay !!
For the millions of brazillians.
@@jeffk464 my channel covers only a small group of Brazilians, but I like to show the cool things to my friends, in the last 3 months my few subscribers were my only allegory lol. I hope they see and subscribe to Nick’s channel, he deserves it and a lot.
Will the rocket fall like a skydiver once in the atmosphere, or will it have some forward motion?
both
For the makers of this video, beautiful, but please there is no sound in space.
rcs ftw
I hope this not like the whale in hitch hikers guide!
Want this change EVERYTHING tho?
Actually there is no sound in space. But this video is awesome!😂😂
What if the fins break?
DEAD
it needs anti-gravity emitters
I kinda feel like the design was inspired by Austin Powers.
This animation make it look like starship can hover, since in the last moments it descends at a steady rate. Isn't it going to be a suicide burn in reality?
I think Starship will be *capable* of hovering, unlike Falcon... but it's unlikely to actually do so, because hovering is a waste of fuel compared to the suicide burn.
@@simongeard4824 mmmmmm. Very cool if starship will be hover capable. Maybe with humans on board they will want to take it safe and ditch the suicide burn.
@@santnox7559 Given that the suicide burn is more efficient and that SpaceX have been making it look routine for years now, why would they stop? They've not had any failures in that stage of landing since the early days...
I still don't like this atmo burning stage... This is ok for 1 small solid heatshield of Dragon capsule or Souys. But for bigger ships it always reminds me of Columbia Shuttle disaster :(
ah no, but starship is just so good and if there is a disaster, it would be really rare, like an soyuz failure
and yeah they will only put astronautsbin it when its 100% reliable
How spacex can save astronauts fron a starship explosion. Updates!!!!!!!
Space X won't fly the crewed passengers until they have made starship super reliable
I'll believe it when I see it..
Fair enough...
Yeah, proof is in the pudding for sure. To tell you the truth even if starship doesn't work, super heavy with a single use upper stage still gives a huge capability. It would then be more inline with what new Glenn will be doing.
T O U C H DOWN/////////////
OMG
i thought it was very good well done ( see it still has those rotten landing legs though..( the only thing that worries me ) about starship

Is it really going to enter from a retrograde orbit, counter to Earth's rotation?
That would slow the spacecraft down right? correct me if i am wrong but that's what i think would happen
It would depend where it’s landing and when that would determine retrograde or prograde earth spin
Seems to make only margin difference. The speed of Earths rotation at the equator is 480 m/s ; the speed of starship from low earth orbit is about 8 km/s, and potentially much faster from further out.
Almost 70 years old and the phrase that comes to mind is OMG. Is Musk the new Lennon?

When Elon mocked previous astronauts for landing via a parachute I also laugh at space x for sticking with the ass down method. C'mon guys, impress me! Love your favourite "alien"
