One word for this launch - PLASMA!!!! Seeing that heat start to build up? My chin hit the floor,possibly one of the best things I've seen. Huge congratulations to Tim and your wonderful dedicated team
Totally agree, but Just wait till Tim’s inside it filming 4K re-entry reaction. You’re getting an Oscar my friend… for documentary that year…. Blimey. Goosebumps xx
10:07:21 found it on google earth! southern tip of Madagascar. That little lake is "Lake Anony" you can also see the town of Taolagnaro! just some fun brain juice for my geo guessers out there! Good job SpaceX that plasma shot made me go crazzy!!! Thanks for streaming Tim!
That was legitimately one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The only footage I've ever seen of that before is from inside on one STS mission and the Orion re-entry test. But to see it from OUTSIDE the vehicle, heating the flap and then turning the atmosphere to plasma... that was insane. Amazing test of Starlink's ability to cut through that mess of ionization.
@@mycroft16actually we have an advantage with Starlink as it's directly above the rocket so theres no shielding effect by the nasty ionic mess below the spacecraft
I am sold on Every Day Astronaut. Professional explanation without nerd laughter, and descriptions of how you feel. What the heck was all that debris flying off at 10:08:03
At T+00:10:08 I don't see any debris. There is a bunch at T+00:10:32. And that's usually ice. They are up in space and the vehicle gets frosty. The RCS thrusters can also get ice build up after they have fired. MECO causes some vehicle vibration and can rattle ice loose.
10:07:40 is pretty good. 10:08:30 should be new "tile side down, shiny side up" vehicle check from now on.. Even someone in the SpaceX crowd is saying "Flip over. Flip over" with a laugh. 10:09:00 or so was the stream's "No. Way." and "Not This Side!"
@@Greenmachine0823 Starts around T+46 minutes, or @10:09:22 in this video. It cuts out a bit here, but didn't in the SpaceX stream. ^^ My reaction was about the same when seeing it live, my jaw was on the floor.
Thank you for the 4k. It's a miracle to be even possible to do that, and I love and applaud you Tim and your team for it. Please don't stop the 4k launch streams!
Tim I have been watching for years. By now I have a pretty fair grasp of space flight. Even so I continue to appreciate your translations into Everyday English lol. You let people understand while not making them feel stupid. Keep it up please
From the shockwave at blast off, to the glorious views of all 33 engines at full power.. to the initial flip of starship once in orbit then the glorious sights of mother earth and finally witnessing the sureal views of a plasma field...what an experience man..! 🤯 Thanks for your incredible insights and contribution to us seeing this... cheers
Absolutely awesome footage from you guys that definitely helped fill in for the lack of SpaceX YT coverage! Thank you, Tim (& Team). This was the best launch footage I have ever seen, bar none. Your coverage of liftoff and ascent, combined with SpaceX's onboard views of the plasma interaction on Starship, in particular the fins... whoa. Mind blown. GREAT stream guys!
Excitement guaranteed, excitement delivered! stage zero is ok, all 33 engines lit all the way again, and hotstaging worked like a charm again. They learned and applied the lessons from flight 2 and got through the boostback and SECO. I really started losing it when we actually got to see the re-entry plasma. Just the most insane launch I've watched live, thank you Tim and the EDA team.
Watching that live stream from both stages was fascinating. Seeing real problems develop in near real time without having my personal skin in danger was an odd new sensation. Kudos to SpaceX for making that available.
I'm calling this a total win for SpaceX. That went unbelievably well for a 3rd attempt. Ignition looked super clean. That thing absolutely leapt off the pad. Still can't get over how long the flame pillar behind this beast is. That first onboard view from the booster over the curve of the Earth is absolutely gorgeous. Hotstage was completely clean, boostback... Just everything. IFT-4 should be a 100% every checkbox. SpaceX have really got this process of iterative rocket development down solid. I remember back in the day when we were watching Grasshopper tests. And then the automatic landing tests. SO MANY iterations of both of those before they got it. They've clearly gotten even better and have applied all their knowledge from Falcon to this very well.
How don't you see how idiotic this is? Non-retarded people did it first try. This is such a hyped up waste of money. Nasa also went to moon on ONE rocket. This scam will need 15 to do the same...
I would not... It would have been if this was Space X first platform and they never spaced before... Or if this was the first sub orbitlal test... But right now what did star ship do that Falcon 9 doesn't and doesn't for cheaper?
The fact you can see this beast traveling across the planet passing by countries, clouds, and even seeing the sun reflecting off the water at hypersonic speeds and the crème de la crème the re entry footage simply stunning
Thanks, I used the ambient music to fall asleep as I work nights. When I head the stream come alive I was able to wake up + watch the launch + flight. Thanks to you’re channel
Tim, I can’t wait to see you getting ready to go to the moon in the Starship! Your RUclips videos are so great and informative. I flew from Washington state to Texas yesterday and was able to watch the launch from South Padre this morning, best experience of my life!
Yes very big win. This is how iterative design works using experimental prototypes, especially when dealing with issues nobody has dealt with before in ways nobody has attempted. Both booster and starship made it further than before. Launching and separation appear to be mostly solved. Controlled reentry for the booster was accomplished, next step is sticking the landing. Starship made it to engine cutoff and reentry, surpassing previous. Now they need to figure out what caused loss of control. I think the are likely a bit disappointed that starship didn’t make it through reentry. All in all a great test flight. Getting closer to complete success and lots of great data in areas that there was none before to be able to push the envelope further next time.
Just picking my jaw back up. I'm astonished!!! And you sr, you are AWESOME! No enough congrats here on earth for your amazing dedication, intelligence and effort. Kudos!
@@mycroft16 I doubt it. They might do standups but they can't do scrum proper. Their cycle times are incredible for the nature of their work, but still too many variables and high transaction costs for a repeatable iteration length. What they aren't doing is SAFe. I can almost guarantee that. They might could get an RTE from Boeing to show them how though. Ouch!
@@jksmithiii I was joking as a software engineer and being in more Scrums that I could ever count, and story planning and everything else. But yeah, SpaceX really isn't the right place for that. There's no way to really plan since every single plan is up in the air by design. Lol. DEFINITELY not doing SAFe. Remember the Starship flight test a few years ago where it blew up and they traced the cause to bad welds and Elon was furious that no one had told him even though a few of the guys had recommended the "foreman" should recommend redoing that bit? He didn't want to "bother" Elon with the issue. And Elon ripped into everyone and said, I don't care what position you are in, manager, individual welder, you see something you tell me if others won't listen. It seems that idea has been lost again to an extent.
One day you might see an entire launch and not only landing but a re entry into the atmosphere, a flip maneuver, and a catch from the launch tower without footage cutting omg 😱 simply pulchritudinous
Tim and his team have awakened again my passion for space. These incredible info, shots, view and sounds they bring to us is just invaluable, what a great job you do, thank you so much.
Another great stream thank you Tim. I hope my neighbours not mad because I was yelling like crayz. that was the coolest thing I have ever watched. Go SpaceX
I was already satisfied with the incredible view of the booster screaming back down through the clouds but wow… we got to watch plasma on reentry LIVE The hype of this launch was on par with the first falcon heavy launch ❤
The views were amazing. I think i identified correctly Lake Anony and Taolagnaro in Madagascar starting at SpaceX T+00;44;08, just for the real sense of the trajectory 10:07:14.
Tim, please summarise the key moments in this flight with time marks and explanations. We are watching you from Bulgaria. You know, the land of hard core space guys Kiko Dontchev(SpaceX) and Delian Asparouhov(Varda Space Industries).
Booster did a hard splash down at faster then the speed of sound so none recoverable, Starship started venting gas’s after shutting down engines resulting in it spinning out of control, the hatch opened and closed so nothing special there, re-entry Starship started losing tiles and still spinning so the heat shield couldn’t remain pointing in the correct orientation contact lost at 65km. At $3 billion in lost launches it doesn’t bode well and if NASA had that kind of failure rate they’d be closed down in a heartbeat.
@@sid35gbwhich is why having a private company doing these experimental launches is better, people can stop scapegoating the "tax payer money being wasted" and still further progress with each learning of each failures
@@sid35gbSLS has costed Americans 25+ billion. SpaceX left NASA in the dust at Falcon9. And during only 3 launches, Starship has managed to improve so rapidly. Plus, none of these three ships were ever recoverable.
Getting first stage to fire its boosters on the way back is a huge accomplishment. Not finishing the fuel mission sucks i think it wouldve scored 1 milion dollars or 54 million dollars i think(?) Given by nasa if it succeded. But it didnt
Pretty accurate other than your editorial. 1) This isn’t the same thing as NASA. SpaceX is using an iterative approach method where they fail fast and iterate, instead of relentlessly checking every component. 2) SpaceX’s overall success rate is close to 100% if you aren’t just cherry picking starship launches 3) This launch was NOT a total failure. They reached their intended “orbit”, booster had a controlled reentry until splashdown, and I believe they achieved all their on-orbit goals, including propellant transfer and payload door open/close. Reentry wasn’t successful, but there are many more rockets waiting to launch at Starbase, and hopefully they can take these learning and update
Dude in top gun maverick, the test plane that reaches Mach 10, that's half the speed at which Starship re-enters the earth as shown by telemetry So pretty much an aircraft at almost Mach 20?
Same it was exactly what i was saying. All our jaw dropped when we saw it. I didnt think they could do better than that on board view of the hotstage. what an epic launch. can't wait for IFT-4
@@benjaminrickdonaldsonI wanna see a good footage of pez dispenser door opening and close next time and a good reentry for both booster and starship and once again admire that plasma. I think this is the first footage EVER, on board, of plasma forming outside, real life, in real time!
Thank you, Tim Dodd, for your nod to skydiving body-flight principles at 10:39:03. This gives me the impression that you have experience in the sport. You nailed the input effect very accurately. It's not like Starship can just tuck its arm behind its back and roll over instantly like you or I can in a skydive. Another aspect of skydiving is the discipline of Wingsuiting where the arms' surface areas are so much greater due to the extra fabric involved, the net effects of an extended arm are much more dramatic. So, you are absolutely correct that controlling the attitude and position at the moment of entering the re-entry path is critical to success. I am not sure if altering the size or the Starship's articulating wings will be considered or not (not likely in my mind), and I suspect that much more focus will be put onto the "control" of its trajectory as it settles into its re-entry path. As always, GREAT COVERAGE today! Thank you!!!!
I think this is the first time ever video was transmitted from a ship reentering the Earth's atmosphere showing compression plasma. Via Starlink satellites data. Amazing!
I've never seen a real, live picture of the plasma blanket at the beginning of reentry. Only videos I've seen are from Hollywood. Unbelievably beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes.
I'm new to Ur channel I've got to say Ur a top bloke definitely a fan of what you have done thank you for your time and the content that you are able to get to us well done wish you nothing but success
PID - proportional integral and derivative control loops, at 6min 52s of the flight, you can see the grid fins act and fastlly counter-act, resssonating with some thing. This is probably due to a D (derivative constant) of the control with a high value, making a sloshin oscilation with the fuel, probably at the higher tank, methane. It may have been a lateral slosh, different fron the axial slosh tha suposed happened at IFT-2. Great job Timm, Gret job Spacex Team! Best regards and fantastic flight!
Tim's iconic lines from every Starship flight: Starhopper: "Water towers can FLY!" SN8: "WHAT DID WE JUST WITNESS? WITH OUR EYES?" SN10: "We need to start dumping footag... OH GOD IT JUST BLEW UP" SN11: "We may have just lost 30 grand's worth of equipment." IFT1: "I'M GONNA PEE ON THAT THING!" IFT3: ""
OMG That plasma field looked goooorgeous in some of the shots! My jaw dropped, I can't believe we can actually see this footage Edit: Thank you Everyday Astronaut, thank you SpaceX
Anyone else notice @ 9:32:15 The starship orientation on the graphic flipped suddenly even though the ship did not? Might be the reason for the tumbling especially on reentry, is that it couldn't figure out its true orientation for some reason.... Even when you look at the reentry graphic, the orientation of ship doesn't match what we're seeing on screen.
@@OG_Space_Viking I believe that is an artificiality of a 2D model representing a 3D object. Same thing happens when you do a loop an airplane and cross 360 degrees, the HUD flips.
Have to rub my eyes that this is just streaming test flights that don’t to the public eyes work yet…. When Tim films this from inside….. from the dark side of the moon … through re entry. etc. I’m speechless none of us get what’s going to happen. It’s really culturally/ historically significant…. Like super significant and this magnificent broadcaster is going to be humanity’s eyes. By gum…. It gives us hope
Epic coverage as ever Tim and team! Can't imagine how much more excited you must get for your own trip with each launch! 9:54:45 would there not be some conductive heat from the body of the ship to melt the "ice" build-up, as it heats from the sun? Especially on the darker heat shield side?
Absolutely brilliant and insightful commentary Tim. I’ll be sure to make you my default channel when Starship launches again! Well done to you & all of your team from France! 👍

It's impressive how far they've come in three flights. I'm starting to believe they might be able to make this monster work
If anything, this was one heck of an advertisement for Starlink. Keeping the signal during reentry is a really good selling point.

Fantastic coverage! Best in footage of space x in the world! No contest!
Thank you, Tim Dodd, for your nod to skydiving body-flight principles at 10:39:03. This gives me the impression that you have experience in the sport. You nailed the input effect very accurately. It's not like Starship can just tuck its arm behind its back and roll over instantly like you or I can in a skydive. Another aspect of skydiving is the discipline of Wingsuiting where the arms' surface areas are so much greater due to the extra fabric involved, the net effects of an extended arm are much more dramatic. So, you are absolutely correct that controlling the attitude and position at the moment of entering the re-entry path is critical to success. I am not sure if altering the size or the Starship's articulating wings will be considered or not (not likely in my mind), and I suspect that much more focus will be put onto the "control" of its trajectory as it settles into its re-entry path. As always, GREAT COVERAGE today! Thank you!!!!
My jaw dropped when seeing that heating and plasma buildup. That was freaking awesome.
10:11:35 it's actually not due to the friction between the air, but rather the air being compressed infront of the ship.
Huge Step in the right direction! Go Space X!
Thanks for the greak work man . Really love this channel
SO glad you keep making these videos!
hot staging actually worked AND we got re-entry data
absolute monumental W
Was there any other footage of the plasma during reentry? I don't remember seeing anything like this. Absolutely beautiful work SpaceX.
I think this is the first time ever video was transmitted from a ship reentering the Earth's atmosphere showing compression plasma. Via Starlink satellites data. Amazing!
So awesome. Huge step forward.
I've never seen a real, live picture of the plasma blanket at the beginning of reentry. Only videos I've seen are from Hollywood. Unbelievably beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes.
Wow!! thank you,amazing launch and flight and fantastic coverage ❤
lovely scenes...so honoured to be living and witnessing this pioneer moments
Incredible plasma shots i loved it. I have got to get the umbrella from your shop, my granddaughter will live it.
I'm new to Ur channel I've got to say Ur a top bloke definitely a fan of what you have done thank you for your time and the content that you are able to get to us well done wish you nothing but success
Amazing! Thank you, TD! Thank you, Space X! Such a great day!
ThanX for the coverage TIM 👍🏻
PID - proportional integral and derivative control loops, at 6min 52s of the flight, you can see the grid fins act and fastlly counter-act, resssonating with some thing. This is probably due to a D (derivative constant) of the control with a high value, making a sloshin oscilation with the fuel, probably at the higher tank, methane. It may have been a lateral slosh, different fron the axial slosh tha suposed happened at IFT-2. Great job Timm, Gret job Spacex Team! Best regards and fantastic flight!
Tim's iconic lines from every Starship flight:
Starhopper: "Water towers can FLY!"
SN8: "WHAT DID WE JUST WITNESS? WITH OUR EYES?"
SN10: "We need to start dumping footag... OH GOD IT JUST BLEW UP"
SN11: "We may have just lost 30 grand's worth of equipment."
IFT1: "I'M GONNA PEE ON THAT THING!"
IFT3: ""
Fantastic Coverage Tim! Simple and easy to follow! Going to buy myself a methalox tee after seeing it!
OMG That plasma field looked goooorgeous in some of the shots! My jaw dropped, I can't believe we can actually see this footage
Edit: Thank you Everyday Astronaut, thank you SpaceX
Anyone else notice @ 9:32:15 The starship orientation on the graphic flipped suddenly even though the ship did not? Might be the reason for the tumbling especially on reentry, is that it couldn't figure out its true orientation for some reason.... Even when you look at the reentry graphic, the orientation of ship doesn't match what we're seeing on screen.
Maybe data lag?
@@jamesengland7461 Possibly. However, right after engine cutoff, it shows the ship completely flipping in the graphic which I find strange.
@@OG_Space_Viking I believe that is an artificiality of a 2D model representing a 3D object. Same thing happens when you do a loop an airplane and cross 360 degrees, the HUD flips.
Wow.. This reentry images are sending chills down my spine
its CGI....... where all the space junk or sattillites that are apparently in space......
@@cromdaleblvd4677Your brain is CGI...
SHEER BRUTE FORCE POWER AT IGNITION AND LAUNCH ASCENT ! ! ! I LOVE IT ! ! !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That looked like a bunch of heat tiles coming off at the beginning of reentry. There were a few visible gaps on the main body as well.
Yes! Whole sheets of them. I'm guessing those were from the glued-on sections.
Thanks Tim
This type of video is what i love the most❤
Great job great progres comparing to second launch a lot of data was collected I'm convinced that this team will show us success, they do a great job
Great work as always, Tim.
Great stream, Tim, I really enjoyed your commentary!
2.5 m views that’s going some Tim ! Imagine how many for hello moon!!!!!!!!
2.4 Million now!
No way. Let’s edit again
Have to rub my eyes that this is just streaming test flights that don’t to the public eyes work yet…. When Tim films this from inside….. from the dark side of the moon … through re entry. etc. I’m speechless none of us get what’s going to happen. It’s really culturally/ historically significant…. Like super significant and this magnificent broadcaster is going to be humanity’s eyes. By gum…. It gives us hope
Congratulations to the SpaceX team for a job well done in lifting such a giant rocket!🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Epic coverage as ever Tim and team! Can't imagine how much more excited you must get for your own trip with each launch!
9:54:45 would there not be some conductive heat from the body of the ship to melt the "ice" build-up, as it heats from the sun? Especially on the darker heat shield side?
Great coverage. Thanks EA!
EA simulated this? wow. Oh you mean Everyday Astronaut, not the games company, right
It’s so inspiring ❤
Absolutely brilliant and insightful commentary Tim. I’ll be sure to make you my default channel when Starship launches again! Well done to you & all of your team from France! 👍
9:22:30 right before launch
9:25:50 Stage separation
9:29:50 the windsheer causes mayhem on booster
10:08:25 Start of re-entry and best plasma show
T -31:00 ish mins and I definitely went to watch the 8 minute "What Did SpaceX Change and Upgrade" ❤😊 video for the explainer of what to expect this time for Starship Flight 3 vs Starship Flight 2 ❤👍🤗
Thanks Tim and team!
