Well my friends this week we witnessed the most amazing array of scenes ever for the Starship program, or dare I say, any live rocket launch to date. Yes here we have SpaceX Starship Launch 3 (IFT3) Explained! It took off right as planned and my goodness, the entire mission was absolutely spectacular with incredible successes, and some new challenges to work through for the next test flight.

In the frame 14:29 🔥 just see the waves created by starship in the plumes and also the clouds ☁️ around it, its marvellous, look closely
"Failures" are not "milestones".
The plasma footage was absolutely bonkers. It's as if someone made a SciFi movie in real-time.
And passing through cloud cover layers … AWESOME video that should be included in Sci Fi movies
That is normal how plasma looks ..
@@Stan_144 True, but we never saw plasma generation during reentry in that clarity. Space Shuttle offered views from the inside of the ship, but not directly on the outside.
Blows me away that we could watch the flap glowing and all that plasma !! Absolutely awesome
SciReal
Tail-first into the plasma is a very Kerbal reentry style. I like it!
Wow! Hey there mate. Long time no see. Hope you are well Mark.
The launch and the Hot Staging was a thing of beauty .. Thank you MH + Team for a great roundup.!
Hey there Rob! Enjoy mate. It was amazing.
Amazing to see those second stage engines being finessed like that during separation.
@@MarcusHouse hi Marcus, i'm guessing there won't be a Saturday video this week?
NOT SURE: hotstaging is not to lose speed. I see a speed drop, so we have wait if it was a full success. Also, why do we still have debris on stage 0. Was it concrete flying at launch? What was the part flying inside starship, was it a structural damage? Did the speed and altitude of empty starship reach what is necessary for starlink launch? ChatGPT says that no. But maybe it's not an issue. Also, we lost tiles again on launch. It's not good, as it's not good it takes so much time to stack stages after a few years of staking tests. I am writing this to balance the narration and ask people who may know better.
Most impressed by that reentry plasma, surreal.
The live feeds were just unbelievable. You cannot overstate the importance of this flight test. It's such a massive milestone.
This, my friends, is science fiction becoming reality. What a time to be alive.
milestone? it crashed into the sea at 3km per hour. Total failure.
They have now ran out of money and achieved nothing.
We’ve already been to the moon. 60 years ago. What’s so spectacular about this flight?
@@TeensierPython the pictures 😂
@@hiyorisarugaki1830literally every single sentence of your comment was incorrect. That’s pretty remarkable.
@@TeensierPythonit’s remarkable because this is a private company not a government project. This is how true innovation should occur. Not wrapped up in the red tape and absolute joke of overspending that NASA uses to get stuff done. Go look into the extremely embarrassing effort to build the SLS (which is made of mostly reusable components from the space shuttle to make it specifically cheaper and easier to produce). Look at the fantastic price overruns and time delays for a completely disposable rocket. From a taxpayer perspective this is a massive win. From a science lover perspective it’s also a massive win.
Then look at the sheer innovation of SpaceX to make a fully reusable ship that is a fraction of the cost to produce and fly. We did go to the moon a long time ago. But we’re just now reaching a point in time where going to the moon can become affordable and more frequent. Likely setting up research bases sort of like Antarctica but on our moon! And from the moon we can start understanding ways of getting to other planets.
This flight at first glance may look like a failure but it is the furthest thing from failure. Every time this flys and does a bit better it’s a huge success!
The amazing part of this whole process is that we’ve been able to watch it every step of the way!
I found the amazing part was it didn't explode. Sure it still failed but every non-static test of a Starship component has failed and they are nearly three years late on Musk's guarantee to NASA to have a functional launch vehicle with the lunar lander just an unlikely fantasy. But no boom is progress.
Yet another false statement from a Musk fanboi. As the starship rotated in an uncontrollable roll the vision cut on and off. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good story. ( BTW the last phrase was written almost entirely by AI )
How it fails indeed.
@@williamhatfield8935 You talking about the booster on re-entry? It looks like it was destroyed right as the video cut. Nobody is denying that.
@@Darion350 My understanding is that the booster didn’t reenter as it hadn’t exited. I also understand that it destroyed itself as part of Elon’s Grand Plan that the more you fail the greater success you achieve.
I've seen a lot of haters saying ..why do they keep failing.. but all i see with each new test is major improvements and progress. Maybe they dont understand what Starship is or what it represents. This is the future in real time.
If SpaceX expended the booster and ship and just lofted 100+ tonnes into orbit it would be hailed as an amazing achievement. People afraid to fail will never get us to Mars. Thank God we have someone willing to get out there and try.
be kind, alot of people are conditioned to 'play it safe' think of 'the free guy', no thinking outside your particular box, think of Marcus himself, taking a chance on being a presenter, super scary!!
@@gregsteele806
people who say that don't understand and have never been a part of test and development. it's willful ignorance on their part.
BTW was starship fully loaded with fuel? If it was empty, used all fuel and reached this speed was it enough to launch starlinks? To escape earth they need speed around 40000 km/h. Got only +-27000 but used all fuel.
@yurijmikhassiak7342 yes, fuel consumption and orbit location isn't a question with this rocket. It's more than capable to reach LEO and drop off a payload.
You are the first person that said Max Q without explaining what it is. Thank you
The people who build these rockets must be the proudest people! They are the reason all this is even possible!
Burned up despite having a heat shield. I'd say it was a failure wouldn't you? Back to the drawing board as usual with SpaceX.
@@WiilyDerbbinphlatte It was tumbling, so something wrong with the controls. People can call it a failure or whatever they want, I don't think SpaceX cares that much considering they already know they they will most likely fail and blowup.
@@WiilyDerbbinphlattebruh are you hearing yourself?
It was rolling so even if you have a heat shield on the half side the other side will still get baked
SpaceX pay significantly less than the going rate, so they prefer to work there than with Jeff and co.
@@WiilyDerbbinphlattethey got like 5 more ships waiting to launch for more tests, the ship wourldnt have been recovered anyway so its not a big deal. The only payload was data and by failing you get the most! for Spacex its cost the same with failing and success
For a private company, spacex has been much more open and transparent about their launches and their failures than NASA, and this is what brings the spaceflight community much closer and much excited!
"excitement guarunteed" Elon Musk
They are majority funded by the US government.
The general public deserve to know where their money is going.
Sometime in the future there will be a museum on Mars, where they will show the footage of those test flights to remind humans living there, how all started. And we, space enthusiasts, were witnesses. Thx Marcus for your nice work!
With music playing in the background…
🎵
We’ve come a long way
Getting from there to here
…

😂
Amen - I got quite emotional about this now - first generation born in Mars and not knowing anything about this planet, learning from history archives how it all begun on planet next to them and we were those witnessing that start - beautiful thought
Starship has nothing to do with Space exploration. It's a military project in disguise.
@@Fogmeister Stop making Elon sound like imperialist xD
best not count the chickens just yet...
Seeing the plasma in real time, real life is something I never could have imagined!
I was excited to hear you on NASA Space Flight yesterday morning. I hope you picked up a good amount of new followers from it. IFT3!!!!
Almost none actually. Haha. I might have saturated the market for people that love space and an Aussie accent. 😆
@@MarcusHousewell anyways.. I just subscribed so that's one more lol
@@MarcusHouse: don't be so sure LoL
My wife (eavesdropping in the bathroom; we live in Denmark)...asks me:..."... is "this" guy Marcus???..."... so your next fan is "growing"!🤣
Greetings 🤘
@@MarcusHouseMy mum and dad watch all your videos because I spread the word- plenty of more aussies to catch in the net of space!
@@JustAboutToEat Welcome and thank you! 🤩
In My opinion this is the best space coverage on the net. Well done!
What an awesome launch. Given that the Starlink antennas are on top when properly oriented for re-entry it will be interesting to see if there is no blackout on a successful reentry. It was a pretty good connection that seemingly only ended due to breakup.
Yea, I wonder how much signal they can get.
the best parts were from the starship fin, even up to the point of its failure.
IIRC the Shuttle had a pretty good connection all the way through reentry due to TDRSS. It should be a similar thing given that the plasma is mostly below the spacecraft rather than above it.
@@MarcusHouseI have a feeling that if the ship isn't tumbling next time, it'll do better
Well yeah, the shuttle was able to still get very low-rate telemetry data through the backside of the plasma wake. But nothing like real time, Hi def video. That was simply amazing!@@vicroc4
3rd try, and it ALMOST feel like Falcon 9' routine. That booster ignite it's a soft splosh, that fireball keep his belly down and it's a re-entry. How did they do make it look that easy on something people thought impossible ?!
The main reason for their success is due to the government not being involved in the process,simple really.
It really was absolutely effing awesome... can't wait to see how test flight 4 goes.....
see you in september.
I still can't get over those re-entry images. Just amazing to watch over and over and over again.
AGAIN! 🙂
@@GameplayReviewUK always 😁
Absolutely. I can't wait to see that view once their reaction control is keeping it pointed the right way.
That launch was literally jaw-dropping! Such beautiful shots!
Gday from Hobart Marcus. This is exactly what me and my boy needed. A quick concise overview of what happened. We love your channel!!!!!
This launch exceeded expectations!
I bet $2.89 that there were at least 6 people who had unmet expectations.
@@plainText384 Cnn be like: "Massive failure. Starrock blew up again."
@@bastian6173no, Elon mars rocket explode again
whose expectations ?
@bastian6173 Many of those news channels like to report things in a negative way just for views. It is like they don’t understand what testing means. This flight was VERY successful and definitely WAY exceeded most people expectations
Imma grab myself a starlink
Best Ad ever
I'd like to speculate that your are the best Marcus.🤗
Thanks for the early update, Marcus.
I've been watching space launches since the 1960s and, thanks to modern technology, the coverage of this amazing event was as good as it gets.
21:45 After all the Starship excitement, I caught myself thinking about the Falcon 9 as "The small SpaceX rocket" 😮
"Welcome to SpaceX, how may I help you today?"
"Yes, I'd like to reserve 1 Large, 1 Medium, and 3 Smalls please."
"Ok, with a volume discount, you get a free Tesla model S Plaid and 1 lifetime Starlink service account."
"Ok, thanks."
😆
The plasma on reentry literally left me speechless.
Never seen anything so magnificent as that.
In real time live video too!!!
It was awesome in the truest sense of the word. I hope they eventually get video feed through the entire reentry phase.
I was taught it was fire during re-entry but now knowing it is plasma …. This intact can give us a better technology ….. that we should focus on…… that we can use try to utilize the plazma somehow during reentry.
Absolutely incredible views. I just couldn't believe the signal was getting through.
Testament to how large the rocket is really
Thanks! ❤
The steady, disciplined progress towards a heavy lift, reusable spaceflight transport system that will take humanity into our local solar system. Hard to believe that I've lived to see this in my lifetime, when a one man suborbital space capsule happened when I was already 12 years old. Lesson: give smart, hard working people the resources that they need and they can accomplish almost anything.
Awesome work Marcus and team 🎉😊
Good overview, love your optimistic attitude as always, Thank you!
reentry plasma was something else tho, i couldn't believe my eyes. wd spacex for the footage.
So...about eight steps forward with three steps back. I'd call that progress! And no doubt SpaceX will do better next launch....what a great show for everyone to watch.
Funny thing: If Space-X had just sent 100+ Metric Tonnes into orbit and expended the booster and ship (like every other space agency does), people would be hailing this as an amazing feat of engineering. Instead, there are people out there (idiots or trolls or both) daring to call this a failure. All because SpaceX is daring to push past what everyone else does.
@@gregsteele806 Most of them Musk haters, but yea... its a pain in the arse.
Steps back would imply something that was working and now it's not anymore. I don't think that applies to anything on starship yet. Even if the booster return is similar to that of a Falcon 9, it's on a much different scale so I still consider that as completely new. So IMO, no steps back, instead 8 steps forward out of a maximum of 10 or so.
@@ingerasulffsagreed.
@@MarcusHouse No, most of them are realistic and not caught up in the excessive excitement of failed engineering. The successes you mention are minor compared to the significant failures: the engines did not perform as they should throughout the flight (absolutely essential), both vessels became uncontrollable (absolutely essential), the ship lost many tiles (absolutely essential), the cargo door malfunctioned (absol... well you get the idea). Glad to be a pain in the arse.
I openly cried watching it yesterday.
No shame in that. I am in my late fifties and felt thrilled like a small child on Christmas morning.
Maybe if I watched it in person I'd get a little teary eyed but definitely no open crying from me. I was yelling at my phone though.
As always an informed, detail rich and entertaining episode Marcus ( & Team). Incredible you had this out less than 24 hours since IFT-3. Thank you.
Thks for clarity of SS3 launch and answering some of the questions I had.
I see everyone's reaction for the launch and wait for yours. Better voice than some out there.
350 kmh by 1 km altitude, impressive and amazing.
Fooooooo oooooM!
i loved your break down on IFT 2 and have been eagerly waiting for this video to come out after IFT 3.
this was an absolute triumph for spacex! so much improved during this flight, and i am sure that IFT 4 will be even better. it is amazing to watch this amazing progress as it happens.
Fantastic work Marcus. Many thanks to you and your incredibly great team.👏
Hey mate! Thank you. Hope you are doing well.
Burned up despite having a heat shield. I'd say it was a failure wouldn't you? Back to the drawing board as usual with SpaceX.
@@MarcusHouse Yes my friend, I work a lot and don't get to publish anything. Kids need more attention at the moment but I'm on the ball.
Great work getting this out so fast, Hope you got some well deserved sleep. Tony.
Time for some of that now. 😆
Thanks Marcus,
Your report on the SS3 offered deeper insights than I have seen from other reports.
Definitely the most concise and informative space channel.
Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Absolutely amazing! Thanks for keeping us up to date with all the details
Cheers Mate
Couldn't believe those views of the hot staging and reentry on this recent test flight. Caught myself with my mouth agape more than a few times 😆.
Yep, I agree, you couldn't wait till tomorrow. It was nice to hear you talk today Friday. Have a nice day.
I'm so glad that there was onboard video feeds, those shots were spectacular!
Thanks, another nicely balanced episode from you and your team, all the best
I think the fact that the raptor engines are turning out to be reliable is so important. Sure they have some kinks to iron out with restarting them under different scenarios but they will figure it out.
The report I was waiting for, thank you :)
The shot of the plasma on the ship upon re-entry was stunning! Reminded me a lot of a shot from Interstellar
The steady progress of SpaceX Starship IFT:s promise further progress in the following IFT:s. Awsome!
Most visual was of course plasma buildup. Maybe a topik for physics teachers in high school.
Greatly enjoyed seeing your appearance on NSFLive! It was a great launch all around!
I’m still amazed !!
Amazing news and always third time's a Charm
The drone flights with the preparation and launch, and the plasma flare on reentry were the most spectacular to see, besides the fact that this was the largest ever machine to go to (basically) orbit.
We are all eager for them to get this finished, but it's obviously going to take time. Gwen Shotwell said there would be 100 flights before it would be human rated. Having to investigate fails takes 3 months between flights. It's fun to watch!
It’s depressing how easily Elon fan boys are billing this as success regardless Not going to the Moon anytime soon, never getting to Mars in my life time
@@londo776I mean, it got into space? Literally nothing else worked, but progress? On a more serious note, Starlink shined in this mission. That was pretty good communications up until it melted. They didn't restart the main's, and that was a clue that something was already fracked. It's a fail, but that's how they do it. Test to fail, and fix it. The fandom is very sensitive about such things, but that's OK. I'd rather have the Irrationals rooting for Space exploration, then against it.
@@hawkdsl "Nothing else worked"??? You've got to be kidding. Go watch the launch again and listen to the adults.
@@hawkdsl and wasting billions of US government's money when is never ever going to get to mars
@@GntlTch That's the problem - the "adults" are acting like children, excited by shiny plasma and cheering hundreds of millions of dollars (of taxpayer money btw) going up in flames. Booster exploded for unknown reasons, barreling at supersonic speed toward the ocean, while the upper stage spun out of control with a jammed door and leaked fuel into space. Then the raptors didn't relight and the whole thing burned up in the atmosphere. This was NOT a success.
Thank you so much for your content and your informed commentary without unnecessary hyperbole. I find your channel to be one of the best if not the best for following SpaceX.
It was definite if the most amazing and mind-blowing things I have seen in my life, like sci-fi but in real life. Thanks for the awesome summary
Very proud moment for all who are pro humanity and we ain’t done yet!
Congratulations to spacex for reaching such a momentous milestone!
Going further each launch. 3rd launch and made it to space. Thats a win. Thanks Marcus.
Technically they didn't reach orbital velocity, therefore never made it into space. And having multiple failures each time isn't a win.
Marcus is lying to you at 6:57. They didn't, and no one ever would, shut down engines asymmetrically in order to give it a spin. Spinning in space is a death knell for a ship such as this. The only spin is Marcus suggesting this to turn another failure into a perceived success.
That was an awesome sight! 🎉
By far the best synopsis of flight three !
thx for the fast update!
No problem! 😍
What a wild flight. Gives me some confidence spaceX will nail the landing burn and stabilize reentry for the next try. Huge progress is happening before our eyes.
CAPSTONE was a successful mission despite various problems along the way. It went into NRHO around the moon and is still there as far as I know...
That is fantastic! They should have some great data now to move forward with improvements for future launches!
Marcus, I appreciate you and your team.
This test was amazing!!!!!! Beyond excited. And the footage we are going to get in the future.... I am ready for whatever the future holds!
Absolutely stunning. Thanks Marcus for your continuous good work and coverage 👏
If I could only smash the like button more than once. What a week! What a Channel!!
The scale of this rocket blows my mind.
I feel like the ship had almost no RCS control? like the valve was stuck open and that's why we see a lot of smoke spewing out from somewhere on the video.
Notice how there was hardly any control authority when it kept tumbling during the initial part of re-entry? it was absolutely critical that all of the peak heating take place on the tile side. But we can clearly see on the video that the ship was side slipping on one side, exposing the stainless steel and under the engine skirt towards the plasma stream.
I agree, the re-entry footage was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Crazy to think how far they've come so fast.
Brotha I love your videos. You are perfect for this.... keep up the good work!
I still can't believe we got to see a plasma build up on reentering Starship live! Can't wait until we can watch the whole thing from reentry to landing, fingers crossed! :)
6 launches in 2024 would be epic. More likely is they use up all the V1 vehicles now, V2 for 2025.
Whats the difference between v1 and v2
@@blue_ish4499v2 i think will be stretched to have larger tanks. itll also have many other improvements in the design for the ship.
Thank you Marcus... Congratulations SpaceX, amazing flight!
Can't wait for sharship to put some payload in orbit! The test flight was amazing.
Love your enthusiastic, detailed yet easy to understand information which caters to many levels of knowledge. Respect from Canada.
Spaceflight enthusiasm! I absolutely love it!
This is an exciting time to be alive ! Great show as always Marcus House !💫
The re-entry footage is going viral on TikTok, this was by far the most exciting starship launch I have seen
Oh my goodness! Watching the re-entry live on stream was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen finally seeing this thing fly was amazing. Thanks Marcus for your passion and coverage of this monumental flight
Wonderful to see you teaming up with NSF for the live broadcast. Happy to see you at the previous launch as well.
Great coverage Marcus. You definitely are on point with capturing our attention and satisfying our curiosity of space related topics. You’re a professional reporter who deserves recognition. Bravo my friend.
The video footage was AMAZING.
This was an AMAZING launch and your coverage is top notch as usual! Thanks Marcus!
The part I find incredible, is that the ship was rolling at reentry, yet the stainless steel held up, this gives me great hope that even with missing TPS it will survive reentry next time.
The reentry footage is absolutely awesome. I actually think this is the first time we have ever seen the surfaces on such a large orital vehicle that are directly in the plasma stream. Depite the shuttle flying for decades, we never got something like that from it. It´s really awesome to fially get to see how it actually looks outside of computer simulations and the glimpes from protected cameras with less then great viewing angles.
So exciting to watch SpaceX Starship flights honer their guarantee.
Great Coverage, keep on with it 👍
It was great to see you on NSF.
Thanks Bob! A fun time.
This is so exciting and amazing. Congratulations to all that are involved in making this happen. Absolutely stunning.
I soooo need to see this analysis from Marcus House.
What an inspirational event that Launch was...! Starship literally LEAPT of the Pad...! Superb and fast analysis of the Launch event Marcus and Team , Cheers..! BTW I tried "surfing" for your live stream , and couldn't find it..!!???, But ok you were with NSF+... Cheers Marcus. The future of Space Flight and eXploration is definately Assured now after IFT3...!
What a day!
An extra Marcus house video this week? Can’t say I’m upset! Thank you Marcus love your content. It’s amazing how much progress they make launch to launch. Seems like to me that by IFT5 it’ll be perfected. Then they’ll have to figure out catching these behemoths which will be amazing to see.
Would love to say this was extra but really this is just a day early 😅
I don't think people realize just how huge the grid fins are and the workload they have. Those things are bigger than a minivan. They are HUGE!
Already can't wait for ift4
Look forward to your episodes.
“Ok Neil, we can see you coming down the ladder now” That gets me every time. I remember it like it was yesterday. I hope I will see that again soon but this time on my phone with a less grainy image and Marcus commentary.
Thank you Marcus, I knew I could count on you for in-depth and relevant information about yesterdays flight.
I was waiting for your video, best content about spacex here :)
