Im 54 years old and the greatest accomplishment in my life? Staying alive long enough to see the success of Starship launch 5! It was worth it! All the struggle, WORTH IT!!!!!
I'm 50 years old, and this is at least the tenth time I've watched the catch video. I can't help but feel like a giddy little school girl every time I watch it. I have to hold back tears because my inner 10-year-old self dreamed of living in a future like this! I really hope that every school in America will show this video to their elementary students and discuss how far we have come since the Challenger incident.
Great comment as it comes from the heart ❤️ 💙 Slainte, Con 3:03
I'm also 50. There are much better things to do with your time ..

62 here;• I was 8 by the first landing on the Moon. Imagine NASA would have kept the SaturnV as launcher for the SpaceShuttle. It could have operated all the way to the Moon and stay in an orbit. With a newer lander in the cargo bay, reuseable, as was the Shuttle...
VonBraun wanted the Saturn to be reuseable. He could have finished that. Instead, 50 years stagnation and every new rocket seems another step backwards.
I really hope that Starship wakes up the aeronautic industry and brings them past their tincan rocket designs.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
@@PinkieloverI'd rather prefer people to watch this, wanting to go to university to study something constructive, than people watching politics, wanting to return to clubs and forks.
Politics is all over the media everyday. Events like this are far too seldom to show people what they can achieve if they want to.
But I guess deep inside you, you know what you are here for.
😉
Stunning!
I’m amazed at how quickly You, Marcus, along with Adam and the rest of the team, managed to deliver such a high-quality review.
These are, in my opinion, the best space content videos out there.
Keep up the great work!
Wow. Thank you! 🙏

I watched this live through the Everyday Astronaut's channel, outstanding coverage and great commentary from Tim. I was completely blown away by this flight, I got really emotional as that HUGE first stage glided in and was caught effortlessly by the catch arms - FIRST TIME! I don't think the general public has cottoned on to what Spacex are achieving here, pushing the bounds of the possible every flight, still trying to catch my breath! Can't wait for the next one, amazing stuff.
Yeah...the unwashed masses are just now waking up to this. Its going to go crazy.
Would've been good to hear tim react instead of whispering the entire time
Its not justbthe general public, its t
@rekahnmonis73 I think he said he was in a hotel somewhere and didn't want to disturb anyone 😂
Amazing Tim was able to do what the BBC pays its staff £100,000 + salary to do .
Last night we watched history being made! Great job to everyone involved!
Space X has made a believer out of me. I am 62 and didn't think I'd ever is a manned mission to Mars in my lifetime. I just might see it before I croak.
50 year old from Uk here and been following this for years.
Yesterday was like Christmas, I'd not been so excited for years. Seeing that booster get caught in mid air was an absolute phenomenal sight.
Must have seen it over 30 times
Certainly my wife turned to glare at me from the couch, when her Husband started screaming & cheering & clapping loudly at his PC monitor !! 😅🤣😇 .
What an absolute moment in history, that I couldn't believe happened successfully & so precisely on SpaceX's 1st attempt !! I had visions of the engine bells at least scraping some paint off the launch tower, or one of the chopstick's just missing, or twisting under the 70 km/h speed that Super heavy entered the tower with.. but she wiped that off within the length of the vehicle to gently absorb the shock on the catch tracks. Just outstanding ... no wonder Tesla ' Self drive' vehicle intelligence systems are becoming more & more accurate & trustworthy..,
Well done SpaceX for advancing the Human Race's achievement & endeavours towards our Multiplanetary exploration efforts !! & Congrats Marcus on another great video 🥳
I just couldn't believe it! They made it look they've done that 100's of times. Bravo SpaceX!!!
I loved the announcer in aw of the catch and as Starship did its MECO, he just nonchalantly said "oh, by the way, ship main engine cutoff". SpaceX is a company that can say "sending ships to space is easy" and because of that, they say stuff like "lets catch the Falcon 9 booster on a drone ship in the ocean" and "lets take this 30 foot wide, 23 story tall, 300 ton metal tube that is falling from space and catch it in mid air".
Hopefully in 5 years SpaceX has a Starship on the Moon saying "ok, the Moon is yesterdays news, lets go hit up Mars"
Almost exactly 24 hours ago and still awestruck at how amazing this achievement really was. Wow.
Appreciate you staying up to bring everyone these images. Thanks, Marcus! It's almost 24 hourse since it happened and I still can't believe what we witnessed. Such an amazing feat!
SZ, I loved your reaction in the car!
Good stuff!
@@blackshadow0620 Thanks! Tried to make the most out of the situation. Flo and I had a blast watching the flight. 😄
Amazing job there Marcus. I always make sure to catch you weekly.
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 THE COOLEST THING YOU HAVE LITERALLY NEVER SEEN
16:20 Look at their reaction to the sonic Boom!!! That's so freaking cool man.
I watched it live. and was stunned, I honestly thought that they would either abort or crash the first 3 boosters, minimum.
I watched Apollo 11 and I saw this.
Amazing.
I'm enjoying this moment of being stunned and in awe of that SpaceX did yesterday. Now imagine 1-2 years into the future and that we'll be used to boosters getting caught, going to be nuts!
I don't normally comment Marcus, just want to say thank you to you for your weekly coverage (especially leading up to this), been waiting for this video to land and it did before I needed to go to bed. Thank you again.
Darren here from Brisbane Australia. Have you had any sleep Marcus? 😃
This was one of the most amazing engineering feats I have seen in a long while. its probably a greater achievement then the Falcon 9 landings and the Falcon heavy vehicle and launch of the Tesla roadster.
All of this would not be possible without the Merlin and Raptor engines.
I really enjoy your videos. They provide a great Aussie perspective. 👍
About a 2 hours nap at 5am this morning mate. Feeling pretty damn wrecked right now. LOL
@@MarcusHouse, thank you very much for your efforts! It was worth it!
@@MarcusHouse your efforts are massively appreciated marcus, and i hope you get to see a launch in person soon! get some rest!
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen, better even than the simultaneous FH booster landings...
Clicking "like" is just not enough. Amazing footage there at the end! Thank you so much for sharing.
great coverage Marcus, a few new angles I hadn't seen yet. love your work.
It was nice to get original content out of this. I am so proud of team House right now I could just burst
I love the errie silence of the giant booster arriving. That silence suddenly broken by the sonic boom, and NOW we hear the roar of the engines. Hollywood would get that wrong.
Loved seeing that girl jump at the noise, made it seem more real.
Yeah, Hollywood makes it pretty obvious that no one there has ever actually experienced a supersonic vehicle of any kind.
“Why wouldn’t we hear it?? What does ‘speed of sound’ even mean??”
8:20 still sat here with a massive grin on my face..☺️
I still have a grin on my face.
man i have been with u since like late 2019 have turned 17 this year, this all feels so exciting, we are witnessing history
That was an amazing landing!
Always awesome to see your take on the spaceX test flights Marcus
I lost my marbles when I saw them catch the booster - that was wild! I can't believe they caught it on the first attempt.
16:02 DAMN!! check out the sonic boom shockwaves in the "cloud", you even see the shockwave reflected off the ground come up interact again
Great catch
Love the extra video!
Also, was awesome to have hear you on NSF!
This is the first of many re-cap videos ill be watching!
I feel the same
I don't think there's very much that could have gone better for TF5. This was an inspiring success.
Great recap, great coverage, and I love that you were able to add some footage that isn’t typically seen. Keep it up Marcus!
History in the making ❤
The catch was absolutely amazing to watch! What a time to be alive
😎Marcus!!! So exciting! I was up at 3 am in Cali, this will never get old I will watch it many times. TAKE THAT FAA!!!!!!!! 😎
Love your work!
IT WAS AMAZING!!!
Thank you Marcus for this special Monday update . Here we come Mars!!!!
Beautiful. Absolutely Beautiful.
Even the very first flight of this booster and ship exceeded everyone’s expectations. Super heavy and starship never fail to impress.
Great footage Marcus
Hey Marcus, I was 13 when they landed on the moon back in 1969, and at that time I thought that was the greatest event ever. But over the last couple of years seeing a rocket land back on earth Beit onto a landing ship on the ocean or to the landing areas on land has been fantastic. And now to be able to see a rocket being plucked out of the sky is for me utterly beyond words' I have Goosebumps every time I watch it, and at the first view of the catch have to say i was moved to tears. How far the SpaceX has moved technology forward is totally unbelievable. Finally i have to say could not wait for your video to come on to YT, fantastic as ever.
The pressure wave generated by the sonic booms and how the surrounding clouds responded to it intrigued me!
Having watched this dream from render to reality, it just blew me away. I'm a planetary scientist and the implications for my field are huge. What a time!
Me too! I remember first seeing the Viking images at uni and wondering how long it would take before we went there. Now it looks like we will do it.😊
Another fascinating observation. They landed it perfectly on each lift pin also.
This test flight represents a remarkable step forward in a whole range of technologies … and space flight in general … that is truly gob-smacking. Equally impressive has been the recording and visual coverage allowing ordinary people around the planet to share this experience. In addition to the Thunderbirds style recovery of the booster, who can now ever forget the experience of directly witnessing a spacecraft re-entry from the external perspective of a true ride through hell as the plasma forms and flickers around your point of view …
Remarkable…
It could be easy to forget that many challenges have still to be overcome before Starship becomes the actual reality of the visionaries … but FT5 certainly demonstrated the clear potential that is now opening to humanity.
Going to be a good day; I just woke up, and so far, I’ve got Marcus House and Scott Manley videos to watch about yesterday. Marcus, your video first, because yours always me feel like I am a kid again, waking up early on Saturday morning to watch cartoons 😁
Wow wow wow. Truly unbelievable
This was the most amazing thing I have ever seen! And to be able to catch it live, just brilliant.
At this point I can’t even tell which videos are cgi and what’s real 🤯
My neighbors could tell the difference.
Haha true, bro 😂
The real ones are usually on fire!
Its bonkers😂.
perhaps a holiday in South Padre is needed !
Great summation of the landing- love the photos!!!
Once again, Spacex boldly goes, where the "experts" fear to tread...
that 500 Meter long flame at launch gets me every time, it's a blow torch, just enormous!
If I'm honest I never thought it would be possible but I'm totally amazed at watching history in the making. Well done SpaceX. I can still remember watching the maiden flight of the space shuttle and to be alive to see this is just amazing.
Thanks for not being a bot! Great recap.
Keep up the excellent work Marcus!
Thank you for this Marcus!
Lots of great space contont creators out there, but you are no doubt my favorite. Quick, high quality videos and no bullshit, just information and true updates, like always.
I always wait for your flight recap, so i can spam my family and friend groups with this :D
Great work by you and your Team, what an amazing thing we have seen yesterday, huh ?
Greetings from Germany!
That booster catch was just insane to watch. I guess they will dispose the booster next time and let the ship land at Mechazilla!
Not yet but soon. Or since they have tow pads now, one lands at East Pad and one at West Pad
I slept 4h that night to witness this, and it was nothing short of absolutely amazing! Amazing job SpaceX, what a team! It's incredible to think that we're witnessing history in the making. Some day people will look at this footage saying "this was fucked but that's how they did it"!!!
Man it was amazing.
I've been waiting for your update 🤝🤝🤝🙌
What a moment!!!
Booster 12 probably said something like "Just like the simulations"
"Mechazilla has caught the booster" What a thing to hear!!!
I watched this with my wife, who is interested in, but does not fully appreciate the complexity and difficulty of what is taking place. I’m a 59 year old man who followed Apollo as a boy, and the Space Shuttle as a young man. When the booster was caught I leapt off the couch, pumping my fist in the air and then promptly burst into tears! My wife couldn’t understand why I was so emotional even after I explained it to her as the ‘Kitty Hawk’ moment of our generation.
Us puny humans can accomplish so much when we put our minds to it. Contrast this accomplishment with what is currently going on in the Middle East, we must settle our petty differences and work together for the betterment of all mankind. We are capable of doing so much more.
Did you catch that the booster was sending info back to Spacex, and they acknowledged it on their broadcast. It's just a little special that you only get from those cowboys and gals at Spacex. Well? Check out their stream for those fun titl bits. 😉 Slainte, Conleth Byrne 17:11
Is it too late for a divorce?
I’m joking. I’m sure she’s lovely.
Best flight analysis from my fellow Taswegian.
Taswegian? Tasmania and Glasgow… made me giggle. I was born in Glasgow.
Thank you Marcus for a great video. 😊🏴
It was great to hear your live commentary and reactions on NSF.
Cheers Marcus..
I was moved to tears during this catch. It’s still one of the most memorable things I’ve seen.
I missed the first man in space by a few months, but I have witnessed so many amazing events in space exploration and this is right up there.
I suppose the next major milestones are a full orbital insertion of the ship, a starlink deployment, and a catch of the ship. I almost don’t know why at least one of those couldn’t be achieved this year.
I’m beginning to wonder if that might be the first thing that the new tower would be asked to do.
Excellent work from everyone involved in giving us some great coverage of the entire mission.
Plus all those engineers that have moved the goal posts so far forward.
👏
Marcus, excellent Channel and great episode as always. And thank you for clearing something up! I have wondered for some time now what those plumes of gas were periodically venting out of the engine bay and why they did it. You explained both!
You, WAI, and Everyday Astronaut offer the best, most in-depth coverage of all the SpaceX happenings and flights.
And Tim Dodd 's high resolution footage is unbelievable.
Keep up the amazing work down under, my friend.
I'm crying again !
Watch the clouds on the second wide angle clip - two massive compression waves blast through them on the left ! When a booster lands with more clouds it will be an utterly awe inspiring view - and the booms when they hit too !
SpaceX really, REALLY makes actual rocket science look easy... this is absolutely incredible!!! Space exploration history in the making!!!
I'm speechless. It's amazing, and humbling, and I am in awe. Let's go and keep taking the next step.
This was a massive surprise when the test launch had a segment on the news yesterday. Having no notice of the test flight noon GMT, seeing the footage of the booster being caught was really surreal and it looked very much like the renders shown on this channel.
What a milestone for Space X and the starship/super heavy program.
Outstanding job as usual, Marcus. Thanks from Southern California for all your hard work!
Have seen this catch at least 10 times, amazing. Kudos to everyone who made this happen.
I watched this live on the Lab Padre broadcast, and I was thrilled that they had you on the broadcast for the launch. I felt as though I was watching this amazing event with you. As the booster was caught, I literally had tears running down my face. It was a jaw-dropping spectacle and an amazing human achievement.
That was so awesome! We just got to witness history! Thanks Marcus for the great recap
Your narrative of the launch and catch is the most thorough I have seen yet.
I was awe struck… it was like a religious experience. Never saw anything so thrilling in all my 60 years. Simply stunning. Marcus House you did cross my mind as I feel you have been my mentor as we all headed to this event. Thanks again. To infinity and beyond!!!
Same here!
Sorry for the massive wall of text, but here's where I'm at after 24 hours. I know many will think I'm overreacting but after witnessing that launch yourself, hopefully you too feel a bit of what led me to this.
I'm a Christian myself, in the Eastern timezone, and sick with a cold at the moment, so after seeing the catch I quickly switched over to our church's live broadcast on RUclips (thank you pandemic haha!)
I was consciously aware of how easily it is for me to effectively "worship" the amazing progress SpaceX (and really humanity) have made represented so well in what happened here!
It's a truly astounding accomplishment, but the whole thing in the Bible about God's intense anger at people worshipping man-made idols is because humans (who were made to worship) have a string tendency to put part of the story above its Author! And that's messed up!
And now here I am, practically melting from awe at a tower we've built to heaven just like The Tower of Babel. And the primary purpose of THIS tower is to eventually SAVE OURSELVES from planet-killing events, which is predicated on the ideas that either the God of the Bible doesn't exist, or if he does, he can't or won't save us, so we better take matters into our own hands. We better try to be like God ourselves (see the first temptation of humans ever in Gen. 3:5).
That, I believe it's why God's thwarted the Tower of Babel, though it's interesting that he words it like this:
"Look!" he said. "The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!"
-- Gen. 11:5 NLT
That's what the Starship project feels like! People are united around problem solving instead of bickering and selfish gains like some other rocket projects I won't name. The unity feels really good but definitely seems to me like an artificial satisfaction of the God-shaped hole within each of us.
I had a similar sense of religious experience followed by a realization of it's artificiality when I saw Space Shuttle Endeavor a couple years back finding it in a giant, quiet room, that totally felt like the inner sanctum of some holy temple (but with a gift shop haha). You'd know what I mean if you've been to the museum - though now I hear they've mounted the thing vertically which is super cool and I want to go back! 😂
Anyway, so back to yesterday. I switched to the church stream and one of the first songs they sang had this lyric which made my smile from some embarrassment:
To you who boast of tomorrow's gain
Tell me what is your life?
A mist that vanishes at dawn,
All glory be to Christ!
I'm not trying to judge anyone with these words, just reflecting out loud. Thanks stranger for being my rubber duck! ❤️
And just like that SN8 became the second craziest thing I ever saw in my life.
I got up early yesterday to watch the livestream. Absolutely incredible. So glad you’re doing a special episode on it.
That was amazing. However I was a bit surprised how much more "violent" the booster translation into the tower looked. I do worry about the margin of error.
That is completely intentional. They don't aim directly at the tower until the very end incase there is a failure. That translation right at the end is completely on purpose.
@@miller2675 I know it's on purpose, it just looks wild. I think even the renders showed a more gradual translation in. But I'm sure they will dial in the guidance software based on this successful landing.
@MarcusHouse maybe it's time for 2024 edition of the "SpaceX - The Journey of a Lifetime - 2019 Compilation"
Welcome to a new age of space flight...
Congrats Marcus! Watching the Lab Padre stream during the flight I think, you were thrust into an episode of "That God You're Here" with you the only one comentating due to tech issues!! (But you were most professional and pulled it off!)
Thanks, Marcus. Your videos and comments are always so relevant and interesting. Keep on keeping on, Mate!
Thank you Marcus, I wish you would live stream these!
Great job, Marcus and team, outstanding video! And the SpaceX team, Amazing!
This was the most excited I have been since I was 8 years old and landed my first BMX jump!😂😂😂
THIS WAS MIND BLOWING!!!
We'll done SpaceX, Elon for your vision and all the RUclipsrs making such brilliant content!! 🎉🎉🎉
MARCUS… IT’S INCREDIBLE… my hands haven’t been this sore from clapping 👏🏼 since I was a young boy of just 5 years old watching the Apollo launching on an old black and white TV. Great video as usual… wow. Enjoy your ‘Apollo’ experience Marcus… what a great time to be alive.
Thanks again Marcus! Also, I listened to the reactions of Tim, Felix and the NSF guys after the catch and i was most impressed by your words on Lab Padre. Inspiring stuff, well done!
A great round up of all the action. Keep up the good work.
Just amazing!
Great that you made this video as soon possible Marcus. Your commentary made it the best video out there. Glad we must not wait a week until saturday. Thanx! 😊
Marcus House, you are incredible. Way to go.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Well I'm 71 years old and we so excited that I started calling all my friends! My wife told me to stop shouting but IT WAS WORTH THE EFFORT! I remember all those Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions and Starship sets a NEW STANDARD!!!
This made me so damn happy
The engineering that went into this is on another level! Congrats SpaceX
This was incredible! I watched it live and couldn't belie my eyes!
16:04 My favorite part was how fast it was coming in and how close to the ground it was before it started to slow. Pretty amazing.
