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 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.
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. 🚀🏴☠️🎸

Well I'm 71 years old and I was 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!!!
I worked at Boeing when we landed on the Moon, SpaceX has given us a new golden age of space exploration. Tell you wife I said it is okay and perfecting acceptable to be excited and vocal about the booster carch.
I’m 66 and watched every launch televised when I was young. I watched two shuttle launches in person and I was screaming and cheering at the catch as much as I did as a kid. What a tremendous achievement for the future of space exploration!
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.
No you won't and certainly not from Space X, sry, harsh reality time. What Space X did with the catch was impressive but compared to sending one of these things to Mars and landing there it was orders of magnitude less complex. There is a reason that 50% of Mars landings fail, and that's using systems that are significantly less complex and not required to take into account human survivability.
@@L8ugh1ngm8n1meh. I'd be skeptical of it within the next 10 years, but I think it's on the table for the next 20!

Dont get me wrong, there's a long, uphill road ahead and it's far from a sure thing...but I wouldn't call it hopeless by any stretch.

I was on the verge, but your comment sent me over the edge. We're really in the beginnings of a society never seen before. A spacefaring one. What a time to be alive
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"
It is theoretically v difficult but note they have a ton of information concerning the booster land path and behaviourduring landing already. Timing of course was critical and they pulled it off with style. Repeating it in a reliable manner will be another task
the touchdown was awesome, but somewhere in the corner of my soul I feel that it was just by a hair (purely by chance) and with super-great amount of luck (it just accidentaly happened )
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
I asked everyone I saw today if they had seen the SpaceX launch, most people said no, then asked if it was to rescue the stuck astronauts. I didn't even bother going into that, but I showed them all a video. Nothing this exiting has happened since they first landed a rocket.

@@peterectasy2957Disagree. They will be able to reproduce this again and again. In fact, they will learn and get better at it, I’m sure. That has been the SpaceX trajectory all along now.
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
I know and felt exactly what you're talking about! I just turned 60 yo. I was 5 when we put a man on the moon and it is one of my earliest memories. I remember laying down on the ground, in front of the old school, 4 legged picture tube, tv, with my brother (Then 4) right next to me. My Dad came and got down between us and said, "Boys, never forget this moment. Today, we put a man on the moon! There's nothing we can't do if we put our minds together!!!" I never forgot that moment, or those words! It's soo true. It's sad we bicker and fight over the limited resources on this, 3rd rock from the sun, and yet there, just above, lies riches beyond all our wildest imaginations! I'm with ya'! This is soo exciting 😎
I too as a young boy would stay up for all of the Apollo moon missions, especially the first moon landing. But I would’ve never dreamed in a million years that this “catch” would’ve even been attempted much less succeed on the first attempt! This couldn’t have been any more flawless than it was. I was actually expecting to see the booster miss its mark and spectacularly at least take out the launch tower and everything else around it! I’m sure most everyone at SpaceX expected the same since they don’t care about failures as data from a failure is used to improve and learn. Utterly fascinating and says a lot about their commitment to the space program. They may have gotten lucky this first time but still, they obviously had all their ducks in a row on this one.
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.
I was in HKG and same age then to watch live the Apollo 11. Great, amazing and unbelievable that humankind can make it work date with a steel column of 70m in height being captured by a pair of chopsticks gently. INSANE simply.
Coolest SpaceX moment (before this one) ... for me, it was sending a candy apple red tesla convertible off on a cosmic cruise past mars was an epic reverse callback to the cult hit movie "Heavy Metal" where a red convertible does a flaming reentry and lands, to the tune of "Radar Rider" by Riggs. I think I was one of a handful of people who got the easter eggs on that.
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.
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!!!!!
Space X Engineers have gotten better at the process of innovating itself. I would never have thought they could do something this complicated successfully on the first try.
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!
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.
What a great time to be alive. Something wonderful has made history. I'm 68 and really hope I live long enough to see a landing on Mars. I grew up during the space race. It's thrilling to experience it again.
It looks like it's time for Starship to come all the around the Earth and get caught by the second tower at Starbase. Maybe that's the reason for the shorter "Chopsticks". I always enjoy your videos Marcus. You have such an excited way of presenting the information. At the same time you give really good detail and even some behind the scenes activity. Well done!
@TheBigburcie they can't have one in California as you can't launch over land and the launch towards the west to take advantage of the earth's rotation
Not for a while... they won't risk landing populated areas any time soon. But as I suggested in another comment, I do believe that they might try aiming for Australia as early as IFT7... it's only a short extension trajectory-wise to what they've done for the last three flights, and there are a number of places (notably the Woomera test range) which would be ideal target areas if they wanted to bring one down over land.
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. 👍
@@MarcusHouse I watched you on NSFspaceflight , great addition to the online chat Marcus. Then I grabbed some sleep after the catch around 0245am (NZ time) then watched the Europa Clipper Falcon9 Super Heavy launch to orbit, grabbed a kip, watched the deployment and acquisition of the satellite, a short kip then up early for the dentist to get a 'bridge' in a 2 hour procedure, then back home to watch the released videos and your great video! I'm as wrecked as you are, I think. Keep up the great work. I retire in 4 weeks, then I will be donating a monthly contribution to your channel. Without your channel, I would never be able to keep up-to-date with with the other rocket companies developments. I truly value what you and all your support team do. Thanks again, Kiwi David
On behalf of the entire community, I want to thank you for creating such a perfectly explained video, with all of the bits we want to see and no nonsense. With all these AI generated and narrated videos clogging up the feed, it is such a delight to see a real human being discussing this. Always include yourself on camera, it will become essential as more AI channels are generated. I barely ever like or subscribe, but you, are one of less than 3 channels this year that i'll subscribe to.
Thanks Marcus for this and all your ongoing space exploration coverage. As someone who is approaching completion of his 82nd trip around the Sun and got interested in space travel in the 1950s when I read von Braun and other’s articles on space stations and lunar exploration in Colliers Magazine, I never expected to see this in my lifetime. In the first decade of this century, I was lucky enough to have a new and different 2nd career in Space and Astronomy Education as the director and show producer for a small university planetarium -even then I never expected to see this. Thank you Marcus and your entire team for keeping us current with professional panache.
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.
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!
Thanks Marcus for a great summary of IFT 5. It's a pleasure watching your weekly videos charting the progress of the Starship, and building up to this flight. What an amazing day 13th October was!
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 🥳
Marcus, thanks for the long hours of work and the quick turnaround on this video. You've become a Saturday morning routine for me and I'm so glad that I didn't have to wait until Saturday to see your breakdown of the Mechazilla in action. Keep it coming 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm 24, I'm pretty cynical and often struggle to find hope for the future. This right here? This gave me hope. I haven't had my jaw physically drop in *years*! Thank you, SpaceX.
Interesting that all us older guys say our age. I remember watching all the moon landings on our b&w tv. We were glued to the screens. Now, at 69 I watched the catch with baited breath, a mix of shock and amazement, with tons of tearful OMG mixed in. It's been done! I'm still awe struck! Yet SpaceX doesn't even slow down! Europa clipper is next! What a time to still be alive!
That last video showing the 2 sonic booms travelling through the plumes (they were clearly visible) was amazing as well as the reactions from the observers. What an incredible spectacle. Thanks Marcus.
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! ❤️
I’m 57 years old and as you can imagine, I’ve been lucky enough to witness so many space firsts, but THIS was something else! After so much time waiting for half-promised enthusiasm of future of space travel, perhaps we’re just a tiny, little, minuscule step closer towards that enthusiastic expectations I originally had for our future 🤞😊
Amazing Spectacle. I am looking forward to a Night launch with transition into daylight for a possible next couple of flights....would love to see some day footage of re-entry.
Hey Marcus, I ove your content, your enthusiasm. I also love that you knoŵ enough about to teach those that don't (and you don't talk down to people or come off arrogant or pretentious.)
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.
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??”
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!
Marcus, I watched probably all the most widely known accounts on this flight 5, at least twenty known and unknown, and as you were one of the last in my offering, I watched it only now and must say that you collected probably all the best clips there are around. Thank you very mauch, your effort hasn't been lost! By the way seeing many other commenters here stating their age - I'm almost 67, and I had a privilege (unlike my compatriots in Czechoslovakia) watching the Apollo mission in summer 1969 in color as my parents went with me that summer to visit their Dutch friends and many folks already had the color TVs there (none in the CZ back home). I still remember vividly watching the unimaginable back then (I was 11 at the time), this SpaceX experience came very close. There is a big difference between the two: the Apollo flights were pre-planned, we were amazed, but didn't expect any failure. We all knew this IFT5 was as well planned, we knew the chopsticks catch was expected, yet knowing the risky nature of Starship testing, we knew it could explode at any time. So our amazement and general comments was more of a disbelief than watching the Apollo flights! Thanks for the great pics of the people's reactions to sonic booms (everyone moved their phone cameras off target 🤣), it was all fantastic!
Those sonic booms were crazy loud. I want to see what the levels were. You could see the shockwave move through the clouds. Amazing. Thanks for the kind words. I missed Apollo, but I'll be damn sure to catch every minute of this.
I know right. Been waiting for this since the 60s Apollo was remarkable, this is different gravy it’s like Thunderbirds has become real, I never did build Tracey Island, if you know you know
I wasn’t alive to watch the Saturn V launches, but man this sure is the next best thing. We are entering a new golden age of spaceflight! Seeing that booster screaming down through the atmosphere, only to fire up its engines once more and gracefully dock back at the same launch tower it left from was awe inspiring. Straight out of a sci-fi novel.
So what next? I think IFT6 will mostly be a repeat, but including the engine relight test that they've skipped for the last couple of flights. With that done, they'd basically have demonstrated the entire launch-to-landing cycle... they can reach (almost) orbit, execute a de-orbit, and bring both ship and booster down to a chosen landing site. IFT7 though... I think that could be interesting. Because by then, I think they'll have enough confidence that they can land a Ship in one piece with a reasonable degree of accuracy (even IFT4 was only 6km out)... and I think they might look at extending the flight just a little bit further and aiming for Australia. The Woomera test range (used for the British space program) is more than large enough for that purpose, and attempting a soft landing there would make it easier to salvage parts for analysis.
Well it definitely was a spectacle to witness Excited for what lay ahead for space x and be marvelled at every launch also the various experiments to perfect designs and make it safe for humans to travel As this is what it is for and travel beyond
Here I am on somebody else channel watch the same video I just watch 30x already. I don’t know anything about physics or space but this here is crazy insane work. Give hope that you can achieved anything if you put your mind to it
I was 8 years old when Mercury Redstone took flight with A. Shepard, I can't believe I got to witness a 232ft booster landing from the launch pad👀🇺🇸🙏!!!
What a moment. As an aerospace engineer I was brought to tears to think of all of the hard work and obstacles overcome to make this dream happen. It went from impossible to possible in that moment and humanity moved forward. Incredible.
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.

That’s what got me, obviously the booster catch is astounding, but the way it was all so nonchalant and every day was the cherry on top

In my 76 years this is the most proud of America since I saw the landing on the moon when I was stationed in South Korea!
Hope the U.S.A. will survive to keep the DREAMS alive!
Hopes and dreams.
😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I tear up every time I see it. Our species kicks arse some time man. Absolutely wild we actually acheived this. Congrats to everyone at spaceX!
Almost exactly 24 hours ago and still awestruck at how amazing this achievement really was. Wow.
lol, google the delta clipper. Given the advancement in technology in the last 30 years this is barely an achievement.
Last night we watched history being made! Great job to everyone involved!
the touchdown was awesome, but somewhere in the corner of my soul I feel that it was just by a hair (purely by chance) and with super-great amount of luck (it just accidentaly happened )
@@peterectasy2957Disagree. They will be able to reproduce this again and again. In fact, they will learn and get better at it, I’m sure. That has been the SpaceX trajectory all along now.
lol, I remember watching this achievement in 1996. Google the delta clipper.
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.
I know and felt exactly what you're talking about! I just turned 60 yo. I was 5 when we put a man on the moon and it is one of my earliest memories. I remember laying down on the ground, in front of the old school, 4 legged picture tube, tv, with my brother (Then 4) right next to me. My Dad came and got down between us and said, "Boys, never forget this moment. Today, we put a man on the moon! There's nothing we can't do if we put our minds together!!!" I never forgot that moment, or those words! It's soo true. It's sad we bicker and fight over the limited resources on this, 3rd rock from the sun, and yet there, just above, lies riches beyond all our wildest imaginations! I'm with ya'! This is soo exciting 😎
@@loudechant7034 wow…. I done the very same. I was on my own though and it’s possible the neighbours thought I was being attacked. 😂 😂
I too as a young boy would stay up for all of the Apollo moon missions, especially the first moon landing. But I would’ve never dreamed in a million years that this “catch” would’ve even been attempted much less succeed on the first attempt! This couldn’t have been any more flawless than it was. I was actually expecting to see the booster miss its mark and spectacularly at least take out the launch tower and everything else around it! I’m sure most everyone at SpaceX expected the same since they don’t care about failures as data from a failure is used to improve and learn. Utterly fascinating and says a lot about their commitment to the space program. They may have gotten lucky this first time but still, they obviously had all their ducks in a row on this one.
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.
I was in HKG and same age then to watch live the Apollo 11. Great, amazing and unbelievable that humankind can make it work date with a steel column of 70m in height being captured by a pair of chopsticks gently. INSANE simply.
Coolest SpaceX moment (before this one) ... for me, it was sending a candy apple red tesla convertible off on a cosmic cruise past mars was an epic reverse callback to the cult hit movie "Heavy Metal" where a red convertible does a flaming reentry and lands, to the tune of "Radar Rider" by Riggs.
I think I was one of a handful of people who got the easter eggs on that.
0:23 it's so real it almost looks fake!
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 .
16:20 Look at their reaction to the sonic Boom!!! That's so freaking cool man.
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!!!!!
@@RUclipsOdyssey proud of you, I hope you live long enough to see man land on mars in a few years
I’m right there with you man! 1988! 🎉🎉 I’m still freaking out over this
Almost 51 here, and SAME!!!
I'm 52 and I do believe we will get to see a Space X rocket on Mars. So please stay healthy my friend.
Exercise and don’t get fat
Space X Engineers have gotten better at the process of innovating itself. I would never have thought they could do something this complicated successfully on the first try.
This brought me to tears… This is so crazy… I’m showing my family this right now. I am so proud to be human.
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. 😄
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.
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
@@motorbreath22 Yes, it was.
Incredibly cool-GREAT catch!
What a great time to be alive. Something wonderful has made history. I'm 68 and really hope I live long enough to see a landing on Mars. I grew up during the space race. It's thrilling to experience it again.
I get what you mean but its not much of a race at the moment lol. Spacex still waiting on someone else to start jogging much less running.
The engineering that went into this is on another level! Congrats SpaceX
Amazing job there Marcus. I always make sure to catch you weekly.
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen, better even than the simultaneous FH booster landings...
8:20 still sat here with a massive grin on my face..☺️
I still have a grin on my face.
It looks like it's time for Starship to come all the around the Earth and get caught by the second tower at Starbase. Maybe that's the reason for the shorter "Chopsticks". I always enjoy your videos Marcus. You have such an excited way of presenting the information. At the same time you give really good detail and even some behind the scenes activity. Well done!
I wonder if they will swap tower 1 chopsticks for an updated version of the chopsticks like tower 2? 🤔
I think the safety concerns of descending over land might be an issue. If they had a launch tower in California that might be the safest option.
@TheBigburcie they can't have one in California as you can't launch over land and the launch towards the west to take advantage of the earth's rotation
Not for a while... they won't risk landing populated areas any time soon. But as I suggested in another comment, I do believe that they might try aiming for Australia as early as IFT7... it's only a short extension trajectory-wise to what they've done for the last three flights, and there are a number of places (notably the Woomera test range) which would be ideal target areas if they wanted to bring one down over land.
@@randommade2105 I was thinking a launch from Texas, deorbit over the Pacific and land in California.
Thanks so much, Marcus. Your prompt and detailed analysis of the starship five launch is unmatched on the Internet.
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 THE COOLEST THING YOU HAVE LITERALLY NEVER SEEN
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!
@@MarcusHouse I watched you on NSFspaceflight , great addition to the online chat Marcus. Then I grabbed some sleep after the catch around 0245am (NZ time) then watched the Europa Clipper Falcon9 Super Heavy launch to orbit, grabbed a kip, watched the deployment and acquisition of the satellite, a short kip then up early for the dentist to get a 'bridge' in a 2 hour procedure, then back home to watch the released videos and your great video! I'm as wrecked as you are, I think. Keep up the great work. I retire in 4 weeks, then I will be donating a monthly contribution to your channel. Without your channel, I would never be able to keep up-to-date with with the other rocket companies developments. I truly value what you and all your support team do. Thanks again, Kiwi David
@@David-yo5ws Wow. You have been busy. Glad you love what we do David. Thank you! Clipper was fun too but I'm bummed we didn't get any speed info.
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.
On behalf of the entire community, I want to thank you for creating such a perfectly explained video, with all of the bits we want to see and no nonsense. With all these AI generated and narrated videos clogging up the feed, it is such a delight to see a real human being discussing this. Always include yourself on camera, it will become essential as more AI channels are generated.
I barely ever like or subscribe, but you, are one of less than 3 channels this year that i'll subscribe to.
Thanks Marcus for this and all your ongoing space exploration coverage. As someone who is approaching completion of his 82nd trip around the Sun and got interested in space travel in the 1950s when I read von Braun and other’s articles on space stations and lunar exploration in Colliers Magazine, I never expected to see this in my lifetime. In the first decade of this century, I was lucky enough to have a new and different 2nd career in Space and Astronomy Education as the director and show producer for a small university planetarium -even then I never expected to see this. Thank you Marcus and your entire team for keeping us current with professional panache.
Thank you Alan. Sounds like you've had an incredible career. So exciting to see this project.
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.
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!
Another fascinating observation. They landed it perfectly on each lift pin also.
16:05 That is cool. You can see the shockwaves of the sonic booms go through the clouds!
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
Love the extra video!
Also, was awesome to have hear you on NSF!
History in the making ❤
Thank you for showing the Ship section splashdown. It has tended to be overlooked because of the amazing booster catch. Great episode. Thanks again.
Thanks Marcus for a great summary of IFT 5. It's a pleasure watching your weekly videos charting the progress of the Starship, and building up to this flight. What an amazing day 13th October was!
Clicking "like" is just not enough. Amazing footage there at the end! Thank you so much for sharing.
The pressure wave generated by the sonic booms and how the surrounding clouds responded to it intrigued me!
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 🥳
Marcus, thanks for the long hours of work and the quick turnaround on this video. You've become a Saturday morning routine for me and I'm so glad that I didn't have to wait until Saturday to see your breakdown of the Mechazilla in action. Keep it coming 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm 24, I'm pretty cynical and often struggle to find hope for the future. This right here? This gave me hope. I haven't had my jaw physically drop in *years*! Thank you, SpaceX.
That was an amazing landing!
Always awesome to see your take on the spaceX test flights Marcus
IT WAS AMAZING!!!
12:42 I love that little piece of debris hitting the camera buoy.
Interesting that all us older guys say our age. I remember watching all the moon landings on our b&w tv. We were glued to the screens. Now, at 69 I watched the catch with baited breath, a mix of shock and amazement, with tons of tearful OMG mixed in. It's been done! I'm still awe struck! Yet SpaceX doesn't even slow down! Europa clipper is next! What a time to still be alive!
That catch is NEVER going to get old.
This is the first of many re-cap videos ill be watching!
I feel the same
man i have been with u since like late 2019 have turned 17 this year, this all feels so exciting, we are witnessing history
It warms my heart to see comments like yours. Truly inspiring the next generation is a precious thing.
That last video showing the 2 sonic booms travelling through the plumes (they were clearly visible) was amazing as well as the reactions from the observers. What an incredible spectacle. Thanks Marcus.
The booms didn't reach the camera much before the booster did, either... that braking burn is *very* close to the ground.
This is unbelievable. I never thought they could make it work!
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! ❤️
When Gerst mentioned that the booster on IFT-4 landed with "sub-centimeter accuracy" he didn't misspeak.
Exactly what was brought to my mind. I know will listen closely to what he says now lol
Great recap, great coverage, and I love that you were able to add some footage that isn’t typically seen. Keep it up Marcus!
Great summary thanks mate!
I have to admit, SpaceX is the only company that puts tears of joy in my eyes.
Love your work!
The catch was absolutely amazing to watch! What a time to be alive
I’m 57 years old and as you can imagine, I’ve been lucky enough to witness so many space firsts, but THIS was something else!
After so much time waiting for half-promised enthusiasm of future of space travel, perhaps we’re just a tiny, little, minuscule step closer towards that enthusiastic expectations I originally had for our future 🤞😊
Amazing Spectacle. I am looking forward to a Night launch with transition into daylight for a possible next couple of flights....would love to see some day footage of re-entry.
Hey Marcus, I ove your content, your enthusiasm.
I also love that you knoŵ enough about to teach those that don't (and you don't talk down to people or come off arrogant or pretentious.)
Thanks Daniel.
"Mechazilla has caught the booster" What a thing to hear!!!
Beautiful. Absolutely Beautiful.
I am 58 years old and will be 59 in two weeks. I have never seen anything so incredible in engineering in my life. Bravo Space X. God speed.
When I saw the twin boosters land together for the first falcon heavy flight it brought me to tears. This matched that feeling. Awe inspiring.
Thanks once again for another spectacular roundup of events Marcus. What a day!
Wow wow wow. Truly unbelievable
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??”
Definitely one of the highlights of the video was seeing that view! 💥 boom
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!
Marcus, I watched probably all the most widely known accounts on this flight 5, at least twenty known and unknown, and as you were one of the last in my offering, I watched it only now and must say that you collected probably all the best clips there are around. Thank you very mauch, your effort hasn't been lost!
By the way seeing many other commenters here stating their age - I'm almost 67, and I had a privilege (unlike my compatriots in Czechoslovakia) watching the Apollo mission in summer 1969 in color as my parents went with me that summer to visit their Dutch friends and many folks already had the color TVs there (none in the CZ back home). I still remember vividly watching the unimaginable back then (I was 11 at the time), this SpaceX experience came very close. There is a big difference between the two: the Apollo flights were pre-planned, we were amazed, but didn't expect any failure. We all knew this IFT5 was as well planned, we knew the chopsticks catch was expected, yet knowing the risky nature of Starship testing, we knew it could explode at any time. So our amazement and general comments was more of a disbelief than watching the Apollo flights! Thanks for the great pics of the people's reactions to sonic booms (everyone moved their phone cameras off target 🤣), it was all fantastic!
Those sonic booms were crazy loud. I want to see what the levels were. You could see the shockwave move through the clouds. Amazing. Thanks for the kind words. I missed Apollo, but I'll be damn sure to catch every minute of this.
I know right. Been waiting for this since the 60s Apollo was remarkable, this is different gravy it’s like Thunderbirds has become real, I never did build Tracey Island, if you know you know
Man it was amazing.
I wasn’t alive to watch the Saturn V launches, but man this sure is the next best thing. We are entering a new golden age of spaceflight! Seeing that booster screaming down through the atmosphere, only to fire up its engines once more and gracefully dock back at the same launch tower it left from was awe inspiring. Straight out of a sci-fi novel.
This is more spectacular than the Saturn V. Way bigger, more engines, and a catch that Saturn could never do. In other words bigger and better. 😊
Stand Back Children; I'm 82... USAF retired and hereby volunteer for a trip to Mars!
3:09 That was the coolest helicopter takeoff i have ever seen!
So what next? I think IFT6 will mostly be a repeat, but including the engine relight test that they've skipped for the last couple of flights. With that done, they'd basically have demonstrated the entire launch-to-landing cycle... they can reach (almost) orbit, execute a de-orbit, and bring both ship and booster down to a chosen landing site.
IFT7 though... I think that could be interesting. Because by then, I think they'll have enough confidence that they can land a Ship in one piece with a reasonable degree of accuracy (even IFT4 was only 6km out)... and I think they might look at extending the flight just a little bit further and aiming for Australia. The Woomera test range (used for the British space program) is more than large enough for that purpose, and attempting a soft landing there would make it easier to salvage parts for analysis.
Wow!! Seeing something so positive!!! Way to go Musk!!!
Great summation of the landing- love the photos!!!
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 !
Best flight analysis from my fellow Taswegian.
Taswegian? Tasmania and Glasgow… made me giggle. I was born in Glasgow.
Space X makes me sooo happy. Hats off for their effort. Love it.
Well it definitely was a spectacle to witness
Excited for what lay ahead for space x and be marvelled at every launch also the various experiments to perfect designs and make it safe for humans to travel
As this is what it is for
and travel beyond
5:31 wow 😂😭😂 If this doesn't look like a stove, I'm a chair
Keep up the excellent work Marcus!
Once again, Spacex boldly goes, where the "experts" fear to tread...
Here I am on somebody else channel watch the same video I just watch 30x already. I don’t know anything about physics or space but this here is crazy insane work. Give hope that you can achieved anything if you put your mind to it
Awesome! Love to see the G loads.
So surprised at how perfectly the booster was caught.
I was 8 years old when Mercury Redstone took flight with A. Shepard, I can't believe I got to witness a 232ft booster landing from the launch pad👀🇺🇸🙏!!!
What a moment!!!
What a moment. As an aerospace engineer I was brought to tears to think of all of the hard work and obstacles overcome to make this dream happen. It went from impossible to possible in that moment and humanity moved forward. Incredible.
Could we get a breakdown of the upper stage as it landed in the water? Since there was a massive explosion after it landed, did the ship survive?
