That thing is so freaking massive, in how it looks, in how it sounds, in how it's named, in the launch pad, in how excited it makes me! Just everything about it. Awesome to feel like humanity is daring something cool and insane.
Thanks. Was my first time really tracking a rocket all the way through. Next time I will probably plan it better. The vibrations from the sound really made it difficult cuz everything was shaking
@@CSIStarbaseAnd I'd like to point out this is probably the very first launch in which you can ACTUALLY HEAR the booster RIGHT UP UNTIL staging. Now that is frikkin insane!
Anything within 5km has risk of hearing damage without protection. 120 dB will give you guaranteed hearing damage within 5 minutes, probably sooner. This was (calculated estimate) on the order of 90-100 dB at 5km, which will give you hearing damage within 30 minutes, probably sooner.
Them rocket engines were SPANKING the air HARD! All of that SNAPPING and CRACKLING!!! That's just on my speakers in my computer. Can you imagine what that sounded like in person?!
That sound is insane. I read years ago that the loudest man-made sustained sound (other than a nuclear blast) was the launch of a Saturn V at 203 decibels. I wonder how Starship compares to that in terms of decibel level, given that it's more than twice as powerful.
@@CSIStarbase I get a number of 136db at 1 mile from the launch site when I look up how loud the Artemis I launch was. Sound levels for Saturn V launches varied with some reporting levels as low as 180db and as high as 235db.
@@geoffallan The only measurement I can easily find that lists a distance is from the BBC who claim that the noise of a Saturn V was 120db at 1.5 miles from the launch complex. The 200+ decibel measurements were apparently taken 100 meters from the pad but I can't find a solid source on that.
Easily the third most amazing thing I've ever watched, behind the birth of my two kids, and just ahead of the launch of Apollo 17 when I was a kid. Gotta make it down to Boca Chica in person at some port to see it with my own eyes.
Absolutely best launch coverage of the 2nd Super Heavy - Starship test flight. 1.... good positioning, 2.... good tracking, 3.... nice steady camera work. 4.... and ..... NO distracting mini image box tucked up into a top corner showing the commentators behaving like cheer leaders gone wild. I wanted to watch that rocket fly and you just "Delivered" sir. Full screen, with no distractions. You just earned your self another subscription sir. Most thoroughly enjoyed it Zak. Keep up the good work.
0:31 OMG!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱 just listen to the unimaginable loud crackle of the rocket when it reaches a certain altitude, jeezus this is like constant sonic booms going off by thousands of fighter jets breaking the sound barrier. This must be No.1 of the loudest rocket burner crackles I have ever heard in my life, definitely in person it would sound incredible.
Never hesitate to put up a video like this again. This is definitely one of, if not, dare I say, THE BEST footage of this launch I have ever seen, heard and felt (or at least made me feel like I experienced it).
Thank you! Was my first time really tracking an object like that. Last time I lost it in the clouds after about 15 seconds. I also had to do it this with manual focus which I’ve never done before.
@@CSIStarbase Manually focusing a camera is harder than people think/expect especially in the age of auto-focus cameras. Tracking any moving object, while keeping it in frame, is also quite hard. Doing both of those things at once is just a whole nother level of difficult.! You'll get it next time Zack.
It was. I got to see this beast take off from South Padre Island. Well worth the massive trip down from Canada. The sound could be felt from head to toe
To help Zack its a small thing We can do for Him is at the end of everything we watch, go to Comments and up vote 25 comments, even if you dont read them... but it takes 18 seconds but will poke the utube overloads !! Lets ALL help him... he needs our Help and Deserves so much more for all Zack Sir, does for Us !! Help Now !!
@@CSIStarbase The roll program is a great deep-dive topic. In the past, they performed the roll to align the rocket with its azimuth. In the case of Starship maybe they roll just to point the telemetry antennas in the optimal direction? How do they accomplish the roll? Gimballing, grid fins, flaps..... Tim Dodd did a piece on the subject called "Why do cylindrical rockets roll?" Maybe a topic for a future CSI deep-dive?
Because I think even if one never seen a rocket before, he or she would know by that visual and audible experience, it this is a very powerful impression of so much raw power, so its natural to feel a bit uneasy and excited at the same time :D Like a Demi god raising up, must be one heck of an experience to see it irl.
I can't even comprehend how deafening that would be in person. It's incredibly cool, but I understand why supersonic flight was banned over populated areas.
Holy Buddha'n'shizzle! This was stunning with good headphones & a big bottle of cider...I think I might now be a little deafened & everso slightly drunk 🥴
And the salad really cool we’re good headphones/good speakers, etc.!! Heck, just throug a phone it was amazing!! Amazing footage as well! God, this is so cool !!!
You are correct 1:21 the ship was Mach 1. Liftoff was 0:21. At 1:14 we can see the ship go transonic when the cloud forms around the middle of the ship. We know at 0:59 (1:21 in the video), telemetry indicates a speed of 1,128 km/h @ an altitude of 8 km. At 8 km altitude, the speed of sound is about 1,192 km/h. That places the ship within the transonic to supersonic period of the flight.

It really is a BFR!
Completely agree!
and it will get 10 metres longer
It's so damn loud you can hear it until staging!
Concurrrrr
It's amazing how you captured the whole flight with such a good quality, even staging! everything looks so clear, amazing work!
Thanks. Was my first time really tracking a rocket all the way through. Next time I will probably plan it better. The vibrations from the sound really made it difficult cuz everything was shaking
@@CSIStarbase The camera shake brought through some realism for me and possible others.
@@CSIStarbaseZack, I don’t see how you could have done this one better. - Dave Huntsman
Other than bit of focus issues. Autofocus is the evil... Still, worth it just for the sound. Those raptors sure are loud.
@@CSIStarbaseAnd I'd like to point out this is probably the very first launch in which you can ACTUALLY HEAR the booster RIGHT UP UNTIL staging. Now that is frikkin insane!
The sound must have been absolutely unreal in-person. 😮
I was there, I can confirm it was incredible. The most amazing experience of my life.

@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 The loudest part of the launch lasts less than a minute which helps
@@cod6guy12 Of course :) But just the awesome awesomeness of all this is mindblowing
Was there and so far this video captures the sound in the most accurate way. Just the power is missing but thats a technical limitation
What I love about this is it captures what it's like to watch as a spectator, not a master camera operator. Thanks Zack, this is epic!!!!
That sound is just something else - thank you for getting us this vantage point of the event. 33 Raptors. Just incredible.
Such a beautiful machine! It's amazing how clean those engines burn!
Methane burns much cleaner than kerosene
thats an understatement. also it renewable fuel@yuksel3263

Do you know the distance that measurement was taken?
I think SLS was louder from what I have been told.

@@1987VCRProductionsOfficially, the sound pressure should be measured at 1 meter distance , but I guess that's out of the question 😂
An unforgettable experience that everyone needs to go experience

Thanks S0ZG! Love the almost atmospheric nebula at the end. First time I saw that its full glory!
Incredible footage. This is more sci-fi than some actual sci-fi
Gave me chills...most awesome time to be alive!!
Outstanding job. Thanks for sharing this with us. 🙏
the power of this beast is outstanding, such an awesome machine they built. Great video as usual
Thank you for changing your mind! One of the most epic moments of my life!
Excitement guaranteed!
Thx for your excellent work.

great clip, thank you for sharing! thank you for all of your work!
That was just an awesome perspective and audio.!
Thankyou!
Thank you for the vidja.
What a beautiful shot.
Peaceful Skies.
That was incredible. Amazing footage.
Insane footage man, some of the best I’ve seen.
Always happy to see more footage
Big thanks for the great footage!
sounded like drums in the background almost, it's so beautiful
huge mach diamonds too. it's perfect, can't wait for landing tries
Glad you posted it.
So awesome. Thank you. Mars seems closer every day.
Nice work CSI.
Insane Audio and very nice Tracking.
IFT-2 was impressive!
I never noticed it before but thanks to your video,it was actually turning while it was going up from the Silver side to the black side. Amazing.
Yeah I don’t think I saw that in other videos.

omg this souns so amazing being played through my home theater system!!!!! thanks for this! i love the audio!!!!!!!👌👍👍
Really ... Insane 👍🚀 - Thank you 👋
appreciate your content
Cracking the air, love it.
Looks and sounds great. Well done.
I am in love with the salmon plume
Best vid of the flight I've seen so far.
great footage
Yo this team goes into so much detail its a crime they ain't at at least a quarter million subs.
Merry Christmas!
TY Zach
This is awesome sauce! Friggin go SpaceX! Sweet video 🔥
Excellent perspective! 👍
I never thought that the sound of a rocket launching would give me goosebumps.
It’s even crazier in person when you can feel it in your whole body. It shakes the ground the entire time until the last big crackle

Great Job
Wonderful. Sound is the best.
Awesome tracking!
Amazing footage!!! 🚀🚀
Great view! Glad you changed your mind! Thanks for sharing!
_didn't want to dilute exclamation points but each sentence deserved one..._
Amazing view of the explosion
“Saved in the ‘ most amazing videos of the most amazing stuff ever recorded folder? Uhhh Check!” LoL
😊
OMG with headphones on that sounded unbelievable!!🚀
Best video iv seen of the detonation. Mother of god.
I was on SPI right next to the jetty. It was AWESOME!!!!
Great Work, keep going ... 👍
That was the most freaking and amazingly beautiful thing ever!
An excellent record, thanks for posting!
Excellent!
Man thats the best sound I ever heard from STarship!
Awesome video and sound.
I can't even comprehend how deafening that would be in person. It's incredibly cool, but I understand why supersonic flight was banned over populated areas.
Holy shit, this is great footage. Never hesitate again lol
One of the only positive things humanity has on its plate at the moment (regardless of what you think about Elon). Go SpaceX!
Compared to other famous people or billionaires he is a really cool dude
@@unyieldingfighter an exceptionally low bar, to be fair.
Low bar? Your brainwashed...
Amazing!
Thanks and too much blessing ❤❤
Great footage!
A beautiful launch
Awesome. Entertainment guaranteed!
I still can’t believe 33 engines formed one set of Mach cones 9 meters wide. It’s a hell of a thing
Pure raw engineering masterpiece.
This thing is 30' in diameter. Step that off on the floor to see how large that is to get a good perspective.
Holy Buddha'n'shizzle! This was stunning with good headphones & a big bottle of cider...I think I might now be a little deafened & everso slightly drunk 🥴
And the salad really cool we’re good headphones/good speakers, etc.!! Heck, just throug a phone it was amazing!!
Amazing footage as well! God, this is so cool !!!
Something about the people cheering and celebrating as it fades off into the distance almost brings a tear to my eyes.
Love it!
finally some quality sound!!!
That was some crazy sh*t
The Sound was Amazing to hear.
You can even barely hear the RUD Boom as well.
enjoy
That snapping or tacking sound that you hear, are those individual explosions or overlapping sound waves or something?
Yeah!
awesome.
1:21 you can see starship breaking the sound barrier
You are correct 1:21 the ship was Mach 1. Liftoff was 0:21. At 1:14 we can see the ship go transonic when the cloud forms around the middle of the ship.

Thank you, So Good!. I wonder if the mic peaked at low freq.
Holy shit, this is so good
Man that sound is just raw power nothing comes close ❤
Yeah. Some folks got upset about the shouting in the background but it’s impossible not to be excited during these incredible launches
One word, harmonics; Smoother sound, smoother and greater power output !!
INSANE
2:51 the hot staging is still the best part of the whole flight
