This is no failure at all! Its called incremental learning. The 2nd launch was much better than the first and the lessons learned from this launch will go into the third launch. Ultimately, Starship will be a complete success because of lessons learned each time it launches.
I’m pretty sure given the improvements over time that the third attempt will be a complete success. I mean, compare the first two, they are worlds apart. I found a video comparing them side by side and this time the ship was twice as fast and high as last time. Maybe they can beat this next time again and nail renter, maybe they’re as crazy as trying to catch it… We’ll have to wait and see.
@@Ultrex_Idk As I Said it looked pretty out of fuel in the SpaceX Feed so that’s definitely a point. Maybe adding more capacity or efficiency. And changing the FTS Values will be a thing I guess.
I cant get enough of the booster doing its boost back right after hot staging...its so awesome to see it flip and turn back like that. Congrats SpaceX team!
It's super weird to congrats them on the easiest thing to anticipate as how wrong it went. Well... not that it was easy to start with. But it's pretty obvious when you watch the show and the telemetry. Any engineer: "hu ho, too strong, no way the fuel will keep feeding those engines, making less g force, making less fuel to fuel these engine, making... yeah, damn, the thing will be lost if we ever ever enter this loop, let's be careful about that". Americans: "WHOHOOO, DO A BARELL ROLL, LOOK AT THAT ROCKET DRIFTING, WOOHOOO"
The amazing thing here is 1. All of the engines are functional, unlike IFT-1 2. Amazing hot staging separation 3. The 2nd stage reached space It's only unfortunate that the second stage got lost
If you notice, it quickly ran out of LOX and CH4, but especially it suddenly ran dry of LOX seconds before the second stage was terminated. Likely terminated due to insufficient fuel for the complete journey.

7:37 you can see a large plume of something venting, and the methalox levels on the bottom right of the GUI start dropping much more quickly. Basically I think the ship was going to run out of fuel and the FTS triggered before that could happen.
No, they tried reigniting the engines and it blew up. I'm sure it makes some people feel better thinking it was destroyed deliberately but rocket science doesn't give a f--- about Elon Musk's feelings nor his pop science fanclub.
@@TheLaunchPad Maybe the oxygen tank rapidly depressurized and the middle bulkhead or main methane pipe burst. There is good evidence that oxygen was being vented continuously for several minutes. I suspect the LOX tank overpressure valve was wide open. Then a burst valve [or weld] popped.

@@sebastiannolte1201 The firmament is above the clouds, the blue sky. The blue sky is the firmament, watch all Elon Musk lauching rockets to the space, watch them carefully, you will see the truth.
Looking at this launch and all the effort that is being put into this program proves that the James Webb Space Telescope launch (& deployment into it's final destination) is by far still the most advanced technological achievement ever done by mankind, and will remain for a long time to come.
Ever heard of the Large Hadron Collider? That, my friend, is the most sophisticated piece of technologic marvel built by humans by far. And the discovery of the Higgs Boson is the pinnacle of that effort. Learn your science.
@@morninglightmountain7049 thx for the reply, but you’re missing my point. The LHC could be fixed if something didn’t work as intended (and they did, it had to shutdown for over a year I believe for a major overhaul), the JWST had to work flawlessly from launch till deployment half a year later millions of miles away. After all the decades of work seeing it strapped onto a rocket and send it into space…imagine the adrenaline rush seeing that thing go into the sky with multiple people’s life’s work invested in it… That’s why I find it such an amazing achievement, so many points of failure yet they took the risk and put in decades of work in the thing and it delivered.
@@morninglightmountain7049 secondly, proving that a theoretical particle exists doesn’t bring the revelations that the JSWT delivered so far. But then again, hopefully the LHC can provide unexpected surprises for the future!
@@ltdada74 then you should correct your statement. The Apollo lunar lander had to work flawlessly or it would have stranded two humans on the moon - it kept millions of people glued to tv screens, it kept thousands of engineers on their edge, as their life-work had to perform flawlessly. But nobody would ever say that the Saturn V is the pinnacle of human engineering. Perspective is important. The JSWT an amazing machine, but let's not kid ourselves :-). P.S. I find the two Voyagers even more impressive :).
@@morninglightmountain7049 again missing the point; before Apollo 11 they did multiple dry runs for every step except the physical landing to make sure everything goes well when doing the actual landing. The JWST had to be 100% perfect all the way. The number of “points of failure” in the whole process is staggering compared to everything else humans have done, and it will take a while before something like that will be achieved again. Btw, at it’s time I would say that the Saturn V/Apollo program was the pinnacle…
Can we all just take a moment and realize how amazing this second launch is? If this was NASA if would have been 3-6 years from the last launch and another 5 billion dollars.
SpaceX and NASA is very different when it comes to this NASA will try to get the rocket to orbit first try, thats why they are taking their time testing components down here rather than exploding up there while SpaceX is quite the opposite where they learn from their failures such as this.
This flight broke a number of records, most engines lit in a single launch, first rap vac engines lit in space, highest altitude reached by a starship and booster, first hot staging (spacex record), longest rocket plume? (1000ft) I've probably missed some, Sergei Korolev would've loved this!
Imagine if we could go back to the past and show the dudes in Germany launching the first liquid fueled rocket what kind of technology their single invention would turn into.
Yeah, I don't think they bothered much with the tiles because they looked kinda off before the flight, knowing some would fly off anyway. I think the tiles will be changed a lot throughout their test flights, especially under their re-entry tests.
Based on the modes of failure it looks like a lot of valuable data will have been gathered from this launch. Likely the separation and boost back failed to keep positive G on the fuel in the booster tanks leading to engines ingesting gasses rather than a steady supply of liquid fuel/oxidiser. On the second stage you can see lox levels falling quite rapidly just before the FTS fired. Likely there was some kind of leak but it did almost reach target velocity which is really impressive, there are many sensors and cameras in the engine bay so SpaceX will know the exact reasons for sure. Engine reliability seems to have improved greatly since the first launch and hot staging looked to have gone flawlessly. Heat shield did not fair well though, closeups just before staging showed the many tiles missing and more falling off so there will need to be a rethink on tile fixing.
@@anguscovoflyer95 I heard that too, not sure what the improvements are but I know all the tiles are now being handled differently and are all being tested after fitting.
But i wonder though. What about when we start exploring places that dont have an up or down? Or even in orbit when the starships need to be refueled? No up or down. No guarantee of the tank outlet getting liquid instead of gas. Basically they cant run properly in any orientation.
@@de0509 Acceleration is used to essentially create a force pushing the fuel to the bottom of the tanks in this scenario. It already happens when firing engines to de-orbit, thrusters fire first so that all the fuel ends up in the right place before the engines are started. Refuelling would use a similar mechanism.
@@schrodingerscat1863 why turn on the thrusters during refueling? That would mess up the orbit theyre already at, complicating the next burns. The refueling ship and the ship that received the fuel have different destinations. Surely being forced to turn on rockets whenever it needs to refuel would limit the capabilities of the system
I bet that the Lord of the Universe sitting on his throne of clouds smiling and admiring the amazing work of his creatures thinking deeply that we know how to make our intelligence flourish 🎉
You can clearly see how the explosion of the first stage starts. Play this back in SLO MO on youtube. Klik the gear icon in the upper right corner of the display look for playback speed and adjust it to 1/4 speed. It starts from near the middle after a series of smaller explosion near the engines. My guess is the methalox sloshed around in the tanks during the rapid turnaround in an unexpected way causing a problem down range in the fuel system. The turbopumps for a split second had no fuel. They heated up due to friction and then were suddenly met with more fuel than they were designed to handle. Increased fuel pressure, increased heat, fuel line rupture. BOOM! no more first stage.
did it and i noticed how the enignes faild one after the other. Play it back in slow mo. Look at Minute 3:45. You can see a bright flash right at the bottom of the rocket and at that exact moment you see how a engine shuts down/fails on the interface. Then at minute 3:49. You see either Methane or LOX being ejected from the bottom of the Booster, even after Engine shutdown. I'm only fifteen and i only know the basics of engine- and rocketscience but if i had to guess i'd say it might be due to excessive pressure in the Fuel or oxidizer tank. The explosion was probably caused by the FTS, after it realized it was leaking LOX or Methane.
NASAs SLS rocket also worked the very first time. This is just a different way of development. They quickly build early prototypes in mass production and test them, so more trial and error. While NASA back then and today finetune everything in beforehand and theory.
Easily explained by many different things. One, Starship is unmanned and as such it is unnecessary to take the same precautions as with the Apollo missions. Two, Starship is a very different beast from Apollo. Taller, heavier, twice as powerful, there are significant engineering challenges for the Starship team that the Saturn did not have. Third, and perhaps most important, Saturn was nearly all expendable. Starship is intended to be fully recovered and reused, an incredibly difficult and complicated challenge when dealing with a vehicle the size of Starship and Super Heavy. You may not realize this, but if Starship were not intended to be reusable, it would be on par with Saturn V, since it has successfully launched, separated, and reached (pseudo)orbit. The fate of the booster and ship are irrelevant unless you intend to fully reuse both. I want to add that Saturn is still an incredibly impressive vehicle, however you simply cannot compare the two without taking into account their fundamental differences.
@@akkkbn lol i call this cope, Starship will never go to mars and it will never even go to the moon and if it does everyone on board will die of radiation poisoning and if that doesn't get them starvation/dehydration will because starship can't store enough water or food to ferry 100 people even to the moon and back.
@@yesterdayschunda1760 Let's start with your ridiculous claim that astronauts will be poisoned by radiation. Unless you accidentally traveled forward in time before the Apollo missions(or are simply an idiot) from, you would know that radiation is not a significant limiting factor in spaceflight. Second, the number of people is completely irellevant to anything being discussed here, or the video itself. Nice try setting up a strawman, but next time do a little more work and make it engaging at least.
@@akkkbn Why did NASA fake the footage of being half way to the moon? Because people would die if they went to the moon without 1m of water between them and space, either that or 3ft of aluminium, this is from a report done by NASA itself when they measured the radiation and broke their geiger counters lol
I think that when the booster started flipping, the engines were still active, there was no way to settle the CH4/LOX in the tanks, the pumps may have drawn in liquid and vapor at the same time from the tanks. Why does the booster have to flip after stage separation?
Explosions don't seem to be totally unscheduled. I think they set goals for performance and if it's not met (goals set high so they're certain it reaches the limits) and then they get the data for next launch so they know their limits well. Most probably ruds are somewhat rsd imo. Tests are for finding your limits. Makes sense to me!
At T-3:00, its looks like a flashlight with all 33 R-2's past MAX-Q. Freaking love it. And stage sep was absolutly perfect. Moneys on IFT 3 fully successful. They just have to throttle down 10% before and after Q." Game on! Good job X. Getting better by the day! - NOM (Will)
Looks like it's capable of hitting gravitational escape velocity, with that type of explosion, very cool that they accounted for 28,400 before shutoff. Extremely strong jet ejection seat it seems
@@thenarrowroad58 "but read the ancient books." Why should they be relevant? "Modern space science is deception" You probably ignore space science that is already hundreds of years old, so not only modern. "observe the sky carefully, you will see." Do you actually observe the sky carefully? Would you have even found the planets? People in ancient times did notice them, without telescope. Because they actually observed the sky carefully. And it is funny how you take this video of a launch that only go to 148 km and claim that you see the waters above it. SpaceX sends rockets into orbit successfully all the time, for years. There are also videos about it like this with displayed data. Falcon 9 accelerates to orbital speed at an altitude of 200 km. It brings people to the ISS, which is at 400 km (you can see it from the ground). They bring up StarLink satellites to 550 km all the time (and they work, you can use Internet via Starlink). They bring up satellites into geostationary orbit which are 35000 km away. I wonder if you would make such comments also 100 years ago and the first airplanes reaches high altitudes. So why do you accept airplanes, why are they stil beneath the waters and not above? Is there ANY hint in Genesis WHERE the firmament is, so a number for the altitude? No. So it could be at 10 km, 50 km, 100 km, 1000 km, 100000 km, 100000000 km,.... So why do you think that airplanes don't try to penetrate the waters above, but rockets at 150 km do?
The speed states 10000kph yet the altitude climbs only 1km per every 4 or so seconds. At that speed it should be doing 3 km every second. So obviously it is not flying directly up but rather on a shallow angle if the climb is only 1km every 4 seconds and even a lot slower towards the end of the video. Why not directly vertical going the shortest path. Every rocket I have seen travels a path the shape of a rainbow.
For orbit you need horizontal speed, not vertical once at the height you want your orbit to be. While moving horizontally 27500-28000 km/h ISS have e vartical speed of zero,
It's called the firmament above, the blue sky is waters Above. They didn't teach u that, but it's written in ancient books. We are in a pressurised system, earth below and 7 heavens Above. Above earth is the firmament (blue sky). Observe the sky at night for a year and you will see no new galaxies, yet earth is claimed to be moving in space(lies)
it doest really do any damage to the environment. the debris from the rocket is always recolected from the ocean. There are Greenhouse Gases being emited during a launch however that is on quite small amounts. Rocket launches probably dont even make up 1% of the causes for climate change.That also is because they dont happen that regularly. sometimes they happen thrice a week but in other times you have a whole month with nearly no launches at all.

7:37 you can see a large plume of something venting, and the methalox levels on the bottom right of the GUI start dropping much more quickly. Basically I think the ship was going to run out of fuel and the FTS triggered before that could happen.
Nice catch! 👏👍 You can also see a large plume at 8:36 start to form. Possibly another explosion?
@@nspread8953 that's the ship itself exploding from self termination.
Some kind of leak. But, a drop in gas pressures also indicates explosion. And that was likely the gaseous cloud you saw as data stopped updating.
Also at 7:29 "Unexpected loss of Signal, Houston." Though they could also be saying "and expected".
No, they tried reigniting the engines and it blew up. I'm sure it makes some people feel better thinking it was destroyed deliberately but rocket science doesn't give a f--- about Elon Musk's feelings nor his pop science fanclub.
Thank God for this channel! Only place I was able to find the full flight from spacex stream!
Huge Congratulations to SpaceX & entire team for achieving the milestone. ❤
Go SpaceX - - Go Starship 🚀✈. Conquer the Moon 🎑 - Mars & beyond.
Damn, the shockwaves bouncing from the ground are insane!
Lots of us were still in bed here in Brownsville and got a rocking from those shock waves!
Looks like you can see a faint explosion right at the end?
yes you can, can see the FTS of the ship right at the end
@@TheLaunchPad
Maybe the oxygen tank rapidly depressurized and the middle bulkhead or main methane pipe burst.
There is good evidence that oxygen was being vented continuously for several minutes. I suspect the LOX tank overpressure valve was wide open. Then a burst valve [or weld] popped.
I love you all! Everyone and anyone trying to do good in this world rocks!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’m ok with this. We got further than the first time. We must fail down here so we don’t fail up there

Sure is
Looking at this launch and all the effort that is being put into this program proves that the James Webb Space Telescope launch (& deployment into it's final destination) is by far still the most advanced technological achievement ever done by mankind, and will remain for a long time to come.
Ever heard of the Large Hadron Collider? That, my friend, is the most sophisticated piece of technologic marvel built by humans by far. And the discovery of the Higgs Boson is the pinnacle of that effort. Learn your science.
@@morninglightmountain7049 thx for the reply, but you’re missing my point. The LHC could be fixed if something didn’t work as intended (and they did, it had to shutdown for over a year I believe for a major overhaul), the JWST had to work flawlessly from launch till deployment half a year later millions of miles away. After all the decades of work seeing it strapped onto a rocket and send it into space…imagine the adrenaline rush seeing that thing go into the sky with multiple people’s life’s work invested in it…
That’s why I find it such an amazing achievement, so many points of failure yet they took the risk and put in decades of work in the thing and it delivered.
@@morninglightmountain7049 secondly, proving that a theoretical particle exists doesn’t bring the revelations that the JSWT delivered so far. But then again, hopefully the LHC can provide unexpected surprises for the future!
@@ltdada74 then you should correct your statement. The Apollo lunar lander had to work flawlessly or it would have stranded two humans on the moon - it kept millions of people glued to tv screens, it kept thousands of engineers on their edge, as their life-work had to perform flawlessly. But nobody would ever say that the Saturn V is the pinnacle of human engineering. Perspective is important. The JSWT an amazing machine, but let's not kid ourselves :-). P.S. I find the two Voyagers even more impressive :).
@@morninglightmountain7049 again missing the point; before Apollo 11 they did multiple dry runs for every step except the physical landing to make sure everything goes well when doing the actual landing. The JWST had to be 100% perfect all the way.
The number of “points of failure” in the whole process is staggering compared to everything else humans have done, and it will take a while before something like that will be achieved again.
Btw, at it’s time I would say that the Saturn V/Apollo program was the pinnacle…
Can we all just take a moment and realize how amazing this second launch is? If this was NASA if would have been 3-6 years from the last launch and another 5 billion dollars.
But it would actually work and serve it's purpose and it wouldn't have two catastrophic fails during launch
If it was nasa this thing would have reached orbit
@@matejsestak1177 sorry but you can’t tell me NASA is better than spacex. What has nasa done in the last 30 years on their own?
In the year 2035
SpaceX and NASA is very different when it comes to this NASA will try to get the rocket to orbit first try, thats why they are taking their time testing components down here rather than exploding up there while SpaceX is quite the opposite where they learn from their failures such as this.
This flight broke a number of records, most engines lit in a single launch, first rap vac engines lit in space, highest altitude reached by a starship and booster, first hot staging (spacex record), longest rocket plume? (1000ft) I've probably missed some, Sergei Korolev would've loved this!
Imagine if we could go back to the past and show the dudes in Germany launching the first liquid fueled rocket what kind of technology their single invention would turn into.
what a bonus ends weekend with a bang!
Looks like quite a few tiles came off.
Yeah I doubt Ship 25 would have survived reentry anyway.
Yeah, I don't think they bothered much with the tiles because they looked kinda off before the flight, knowing some would fly off anyway. I think the tiles will be changed a lot throughout their test flights, especially under their re-entry tests.
That first stage shutdown was soo freaking cool!
That's because they hit the firmament
@@LuisDiaz-cn1kh Flat earthers make me laugh! :-)
Based on the modes of failure it looks like a lot of valuable data will have been gathered from this launch. Likely the separation and boost back failed to keep positive G on the fuel in the booster tanks leading to engines ingesting gasses rather than a steady supply of liquid fuel/oxidiser. On the second stage you can see lox levels falling quite rapidly just before the FTS fired. Likely there was some kind of leak but it did almost reach target velocity which is really impressive, there are many sensors and cameras in the engine bay so SpaceX will know the exact reasons for sure. Engine reliability seems to have improved greatly since the first launch and hot staging looked to have gone flawlessly. Heat shield did not fair well though, closeups just before staging showed the many tiles missing and more falling off so there will need to be a rethink on tile fixing.
Ship 28 i think has much better tiles than Ship 25.
@@anguscovoflyer95 I heard that too, not sure what the improvements are but I know all the tiles are now being handled differently and are all being tested after fitting.
But i wonder though. What about when we start exploring places that dont have an up or down? Or even in orbit when the starships need to be refueled? No up or down. No guarantee of the tank outlet getting liquid instead of gas. Basically they cant run properly in any orientation.
@@de0509 Acceleration is used to essentially create a force pushing the fuel to the bottom of the tanks in this scenario. It already happens when firing engines to de-orbit, thrusters fire first so that all the fuel ends up in the right place before the engines are started. Refuelling would use a similar mechanism.
@@schrodingerscat1863 why turn on the thrusters during refueling? That would mess up the orbit theyre already at, complicating the next burns. The refueling ship and the ship that received the fuel have different destinations. Surely being forced to turn on rockets whenever it needs to refuel would limit the capabilities of the system
This gives me faith that number 3 will be a success. Except for reentry
Such cool stuff. “Rapid unscheduled disassembly,” might be my new favorite phrase for exploding. 😆
Also happens to human beings in war situations tbh
Massive success ❤

You can clearly see how the explosion of the first stage starts. Play this back in SLO MO on youtube. Klik the gear icon in the upper right corner of the display look for playback speed and adjust it to 1/4 speed. It starts from near the middle after a series of smaller explosion near the engines. My guess is the methalox sloshed around in the tanks during the rapid turnaround in an unexpected way causing a problem down range in the fuel system. The turbopumps for a split second had no fuel. They heated up due to friction and then were suddenly met with more fuel than they were designed to handle. Increased fuel pressure, increased heat, fuel line rupture. BOOM! no more first stage.
did it and i noticed how the enignes faild one after the other.
Play it back in slow mo.
Look at Minute 3:45.
You can see a bright flash right at the bottom of the rocket and at that exact moment you see how a engine shuts down/fails on the interface.
Then at minute 3:49.
You see either Methane or LOX being ejected from the bottom of the Booster, even after Engine shutdown.
I'm only fifteen and i only know the basics of engine- and rocketscience but if i had to guess i'd say it might be due to excessive pressure in the Fuel or oxidizer tank.
The explosion was probably caused by the FTS, after it realized it was leaking LOX or Methane.

I find it funny how in the 1960's they launched the saturn 5 and it worked every time but in the 2020's a rocket is expected to fail a bunch lol
NASAs SLS rocket also worked the very first time. This is just a different way of development. They quickly build early prototypes in mass production and test them, so more trial and error. While NASA back then and today finetune everything in beforehand and theory.
Easily explained by many different things. One, Starship is unmanned and as such it is unnecessary to take the same precautions as with the Apollo missions. Two, Starship is a very different beast from Apollo. Taller, heavier, twice as powerful, there are significant engineering challenges for the Starship team that the Saturn did not have. Third, and perhaps most important, Saturn was nearly all expendable. Starship is intended to be fully recovered and reused, an incredibly difficult and complicated challenge when dealing with a vehicle the size of Starship and Super Heavy. You may not realize this, but if Starship were not intended to be reusable, it would be on par with Saturn V, since it has successfully launched, separated, and reached (pseudo)orbit. The fate of the booster and ship are irrelevant unless you intend to fully reuse both. I want to add that Saturn is still an incredibly impressive vehicle, however you simply cannot compare the two without taking into account their fundamental differences.
@@akkkbn lol i call this cope, Starship will never go to mars and it will never even go to the moon and if it does everyone on board will die of radiation poisoning and if that doesn't get them starvation/dehydration will because starship can't store enough water or food to ferry 100 people even to the moon and back.
@@yesterdayschunda1760 Let's start with your ridiculous claim that astronauts will be poisoned by radiation. Unless you accidentally traveled forward in time before the Apollo missions(or are simply an idiot) from, you would know that radiation is not a significant limiting factor in spaceflight. Second, the number of people is completely irellevant to anything being discussed here, or the video itself. Nice try setting up a strawman, but next time do a little more work and make it engaging at least.
@@akkkbn Why did NASA fake the footage of being half way to the moon?
Because people would die if they went to the moon without 1m of water between them and space, either that or 3ft of aluminium, this is from a report done by NASA itself when they measured the radiation and broke their geiger counters lol
A rapid unscheduled disassembly😆. That means it BLOWED UP, REAL GOOD!!!

I think that when the booster started flipping, the engines were still active, there was no way to settle the CH4/LOX in the tanks, the pumps may have drawn in liquid and vapor at the same time from the tanks. Why does the booster have to flip after stage separation?
To slow it down, but they did it too soon.
Its why they do this; to find out what does not work.
You watched Scott's video right?

"rapid unscheduled massive disassembly" RUMD would be my new band name
Explosions don't seem to be totally unscheduled. I think they set goals for performance and if it's not met (goals set high so they're certain it reaches the limits) and then they get the data for next launch so they know their limits well. Most probably ruds are somewhat rsd imo. Tests are for finding your limits. Makes sense to me!
3:41 Looks like engines started to break up and jettison from the booster.
give me chills everytime…
Beuaitful launch
Crazy how it was so loud the audio went quiet lol
yay, good job, they did it. that's awesome
It was soooooo close to reaching orbit! it blew up around 30 seconds from SECO!

Starship and its booster is approximately the same height as Seattle's Space Needle.
The Space Needle is over 50% taller. (605 feet vs. 397)
Congratulations to all! The colonization of the Space in action! Guess! the separation was successful.
Looks like it's capable of hitting gravitational escape velocity, with that type of explosion, very cool that they accounted for 28,400 before shutoff. Extremely strong jet ejection seat it seems

You can see the waters above vibrating as they try to penetrate it, they have rebuilt the tower of Babel, and they are attacking God
Grow up.
@@jaredmundi3599 I might seem ignorant, but read the ancient books. Modern space science is deception, observe the sky carefully, you will see.
@@thenarrowroad58
"but read the ancient books."
Why should they be relevant?
"Modern space science is deception"
You probably ignore space science that is already hundreds of years old, so not only modern.
"observe the sky carefully, you will see."
Do you actually observe the sky carefully? Would you have even found the planets? People in ancient times did notice them, without telescope. Because they actually observed the sky carefully.
And it is funny how you take this video of a launch that only go to 148 km and claim that you see the waters above it. SpaceX sends rockets into orbit successfully all the time, for years. There are also videos about it like this with displayed data. Falcon 9 accelerates to orbital speed at an altitude of 200 km. It brings people to the ISS, which is at 400 km (you can see it from the ground). They bring up StarLink satellites to 550 km all the time (and they work, you can use Internet via Starlink). They bring up satellites into geostationary orbit which are 35000 km away.
I wonder if you would make such comments also 100 years ago and the first airplanes reaches high altitudes. So why do you accept airplanes, why are they stil beneath the waters and not above? Is there ANY hint in Genesis WHERE the firmament is, so a number for the altitude? No. So it could be at 10 km, 50 km, 100 km, 1000 km, 100000 km, 100000000 km,.... So why do you think that airplanes don't try to penetrate the waters above, but rockets at 150 km do?
Yesss!
Was there any onboard cameras, fantastic 2nd attempt, all ahead from here. Congrats Elon and team well done.
Hit the firmament.
Trash joke.
@@RocketPal You keep believing in NASA and their lies.
@@markmark-k5unasa doesn't lie
The speed states 10000kph yet the altitude climbs only 1km per every 4 or so seconds. At that speed it should be doing 3 km every second. So obviously it is not flying directly up but rather on a shallow angle if the climb is only 1km every 4 seconds and even a lot slower towards the end of the video. Why not directly vertical going the shortest path. Every rocket I have seen travels a path the shape of a rainbow.
To orbit you need speed
For orbit you need horizontal speed, not vertical once at the height you want your orbit to be. While moving horizontally 27500-28000 km/h ISS have e vartical speed of zero,
If you just go straight up you just fall down the same way again
It's called the firmament above, the blue sky is waters Above. They didn't teach u that, but it's written in ancient books. We are in a pressurised system, earth below and 7 heavens Above. Above earth is the firmament (blue sky). Observe the sky at night for a year and you will see no new galaxies, yet earth is claimed to be moving in space(lies)

Is this good for climate change?😮
it doest really do any damage to the environment. the debris from the rocket is always recolected from the ocean.
There are Greenhouse Gases being emited during a launch however that is on quite small amounts. Rocket launches probably dont even make up 1% of the causes for climate change.That also is because they dont happen that regularly. sometimes they happen thrice a week but in other times you have a whole month with nearly no launches at all.
Well at least we will be able to leave the earth if it gets really bad lol
