Amazing, this thing was launched from Texas, propelled into orbit, traveled at over 26,000km/h and made a successful soft landing off the coast of Australia an hour later after reentry.

Just an explanation for those who are curious. The main reason for the flight termination of starship after it landed in the Indian ocean is ITAR (The International Traffic in Arms Regulations). Starship is technically an ICBM without a payload and ITAR prevents SpaceX from allowing this technology to get into foreign hands. This is also why SpaceX (or any U.S. company that launches into space for that matter) doesn't allow filming of certain sensitive equipment in their factories.
This is outright misinformation. SpaceX actually attempted to land the starship on a slight angle so it would stand a better chance of retrieval in one piece. This was NOT an FTS event. The landing burn was a success, then the 120 ton, 16 story high Starship fell over, broke it's back, then fuel slosh finished it off. You'll note that you can clearly see that the nosecone of the ship has blown off, the downcomer gone with the landing burn tank explosion, the part which impacted the ocean the hardest. There's no one anywhere near that landing zone other than spaceX on the edge of it waiting to go fish it out like they did with the booster from IFT4. That would be the 6 metric tons of flaps continuing toward the ocean after the nosecone had already impacted, ripping it open like a sardine tin. That's where the landing burn fuel is located. Boom! From the camera on board the ship in its final few seconds it's attached to the nose and looking down the body to the lower flap. You can see the hull flex a good meter with the impact of the nose into the sea. You can then imagine the bounce of the fuel inside the tanks be thrown upwards to the top of the tank, you can see after the first impact there is a second of calm, then a secondary impact as the fuel came crashing back down and then the feed cuts to the buoy cam and we catch the explosion, you can see the downcomer pipe which was in the centre of the nose cone now bent out with no hull where the nosecone, landing burn tank, flaps or the very camera we just lost the feed to a few seconds prior. Pressurised things don't like being dropped and cause stresses beyond it's structural load specs, especially when they've got tons of fuel sloshing around. Nosecone impact did most of the damage on the outside, but didn't explode until a second or so later when the propellant slosh came crashing back down and stressed the tank from the inside too. That's what finished it off. I wish I was that buoy.

One time we were night fishing and blazing in Oregon and we were so high. A police helicopter suddenly flew right above us and shined the spot light at us. We were freaking out way too baked to think but they flew off later shining the light in other places looking for something.
Saying they have it perfected is a little dangerous it’s too early yes they seem to get it to land since ift 4 and now but that heat shield is a still a problem at least for the forward flap if they can solve this issue they might have the landing somewhat down.
Incredible video. Note the bright "searchlight effect" of the engines gimballing. You may think that most of the light from the engines is coming from the exhaust plume, but this proves it isn't. The exhaust after it leaves the engine nozzles is relatively low density, and it's "optically thin" as we say. This is illustrated by how transparent the flame is on launch. Most of the light is being emitted by the basketball size volume of hot and EXTREMELY high pressure plasma inside the combustion chamber. It's 5,500C (10,000F) in there and THREE HUNDRED TIMES atmospheric pressure at sea level. Here, the gas is not transparent, it's optically thick, radiating like a near perfect blackbody, and the emission lines of atoms and molecules are heavily pressure-broadened. I had never seen a launch in-person until this one on Sunday, and I was shocked at how BRIGHT white and intense the light coming from the combustion chambers was when the vehicle pitched over to a sufficient angle to allow us on the beach to look directly into them. It was FAR brighter than the exhaust plume flame. Also, it's not incandescence from the metal of the engine bells either, they're regeneratively cooled and barely above the Draper point where things start to glow red. Lots of super interesting physics going on for the careful observer.
The amount of energy inside a Raptor engine is just insane. A single Raptor engine has a power output on the order of 10 *gigawatts*. (about 70% of which is converted to thrust, equivalent to about 10 million horsepower, and the other 30% being waste heat/light/sound energy) The 33 engines on the Starship booster combined output about a third of a terawatt. The more powerful future boosters will be closer to half a terawatt. Incidentally, if you could convert all of that output into electricity, it would be enough to power the entire United States.
That's one of 2 things you'll never understand watching a launch remotely. In person you'll notice how incredibly bright it is, and also how incredibly loud it is. Your screen literally cannot even slightly show you the full reality of a launch.
For those saying it blew up. Try dropping a running engine into water and see what happens. The reason SpaceX is doing this is to make sure that all system operate normally. You dont want to land back at the launch tower until you know every step has been taken to ensure success. Then you can land Starship for a catch on the tower.
Whenever I see these SpaceX landing videos, I think to myself... "If I were in my last days on this Earth, I would totally sign my life away to witness this dangerously close up."
Did it explode when Starship fell into the water? Because if you look at the Starship landing, it was very smooth, but when its body started to tilt and hit the water, that's where the explosion was visible
Imagine resupplying troops in the field in a foreign war with a starship. Fresh troops and equipment in under an hour. Or deploying aid, or a hospital facility to areas hit by natural disasters. Amazing work!
It was a test flight of a rocket with 100 times the payload of Apollo, 3 times the booster thrust of a Saturn V. The booster came back to the launch pad. Was caught mid-air on the same gantry from which it was launched. The payload rocket landed upright in the Indian Ocean, half a world away. It's the greatest engineering feat since the Apollo Moon Landings. SpaceX is preparing for moon base and Mars base construction with these tests.
@@achaille9110lol if you believe that bs they would have done an orbital flight by now, like they promised to do in 2022 as a milestone of their 3billion tax dollar contract.
@SterlingArchimedes - How many Apollo Missions were flown before Apollo 11 landed on the moon? Oct 13 was the 5th test flight for SpaceX Super Heavy Lift. Lol!
the booster catch kind of overshadows this but this was huge for the program too. Getting that thing to successfully belly flop and soft land right on target after a full reentry is insane.
This flight is a spectacular success for Mr. Musk. SpaceX has accomplished amazing results in a short period and now is the premier spaceflight developer! Congratulations to all who had a part in this wonderful mission!
Thanks for completely cutting the clip apart and putting popups in the middle of the action. You totally couldn't have run those at the end of the video. I totally didnt want to see it from bouy perspective all the way to explosion.
Excellent work. The next flight will be with a vertical landing of the starship, I think. The explosion is caused by the falling of the working engines and the red-hot descent in the atmosphere of the starship into the water. This is absolutely normal. Heat a frying pan red hot and throw it into the water, you will get a similar effect.
@@theussmirage unless they change the launch profile and do a full orbit, but that would require a de-orbit burn and new launch license. It was already hard enough getting the license for flight 5's launch profile so I doubt they'll tempt the idea of asking for a new one

So, that explosion at the end. I'm starting to get the feeling that it was supposed to do that to prevent any recovery by a competitor nation known for copying everything.
Because it landed upright in the water placing the leading legs right on the surface of the water. As you might know, Starship is not Jesus and can't stand on water. So eventually it flips over and the side of the rocket hits the water. It's not designed to survive that, so it explodes! If it would've had a solid landing pad to touch down on it probably would've stayed upright and not exploded.
I wish X would have posted more, but I understand why they didn't. If the original stream ended with them showing the Star Ship blow up after the splash down, then all the news agencies would have been titled, "SpaceX Star Ship explodes during landing".
That is pretty much what one of the replies to one of the earlier comments says. He claims this is deceptive and that it wasn’t supposed to explode at all and that the whole thing is misinformation. I claim no knowledge in this field, so now I don’t know what to think.
@@Touretti Correct. So I wish the landing footage would have been longer, to include the explosion. I think there were more than one buoys. The commentator even said they had "buoys" (multiple) at the landing location. The shot of the landing we saw was not the same camera. This one shows the camera getting hit with water spray. In the live view, the Star Ship feed froze, indicating when it blew up, then they cut to the buoy feed, which was lagging a couple seconds behind, so we could see the explosion, from a clear lens, that hadn't been sprayed with water.
Yep! I know that, you know that, and almost everyone here knows that. It's just too bad that the media trolls wouldn't say that, if the video showed it splashing and kabooming.

They've already been to space, so I assume you mean sit in orbit for a while, or leave orbit? 'Cause I can't wait for the first interplanetary/Luna run!
The flight termination explosive was detonated to intentionally blow it to pieces so that the technology/design cannot be recovered by another country. See the comment about ITAC.
wasn't design to be landed on water, pretty normal. the starship still in testing phase, 1 more version 1 left to go before they move on to something new.
@@freerbt4839 they probably wouldn't risk it until version 2 starship arrive some times next years. the current version of starship still in alpha state will take some time to perfect it via heat shield and design. but you can bet your ass they will try to catch it in couple more trial out with more data gathered.
I was driving on the freeway last night and witnessed this happen, my family didn’t believe me when I said a rocket exploded and then crashed but here’s my proof😊

It's not like a SLS that takes over a year to make at a $2 billion pricetag. They can churn an entire Starship prototype stack out in a month, for under $100 million. Plus, you deliberately land a rocket in the ocean, it's gone for good whether it explodes after tip-over or not, so why not enjoy the fireworks?
Yes. Need to wait to hear if they cleared termination system after landing or if it was just left over propellant but it was supposed to blow up and sink.
When you ditch a rocket into the ocean, such as during a test flight of a prototype vehicle (just providing a hypothetical), whether it explodes after tip-over or not, it's not coming back. So you might as well appreciate whatever fireworks you get out of it. Maybe there would have been less cheering if this had been a $2 billion vehicle that took over a year to construct, the way SLS does, but Starship stacks can be made in a month for under $100 million. It's no big expenditure and they obviously made huge strides with the test.
Ha, depends on if that was they wanted/expected! As a engineer of more modest things than rockets, some months ago was trying to recreate some product failures we've had in the field. Several failed attempts (unit did not fail) and finally blew it up. Yippee! Now we know that if we do X it will fail.
“If he[Trump] loses, man, what…” Carlson said with a laugh, “you’re fucked, dude.” “I’m fucked. If he loses, I’m fucked,” Musk said as they both laughed. “How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Do you think? Will I see my children? I don’t know.”
He wasn’t born in the US, so that’s not going to happen, but I understand where you’re coming from. However, he could still play some other role in government. Not sure he’d want to though.

The way Americans say Boo eee gets me every time.
Mission planning by Michael Bay
I wish X would have posted more, but I understand why they didn't. If the original stream ended with them showing the Star Ship blow up after the splash down, then all the news agencies would have been titled, "SpaceX Star Ship explodes during landing".
That is pretty much what one of the replies to one of the earlier comments says. He claims this is deceptive and that it wasn’t supposed to explode at all and that the whole thing is misinformation. I claim no knowledge in this field, so now I don’t know what to think.
@@odietamo9376 It was expected, and a complete success. 😀
Dont know what you mean. That Buoy View and the explosion was broadcasted during the livestream...
@@Touretti Correct. So I wish the landing footage would have been longer, to include the explosion. I think there were more than one buoys. The commentator even said they had "buoys" (multiple) at the landing location. The shot of the landing we saw was not the same camera. This one shows the camera getting hit with water spray. In the live view, the Star Ship feed froze, indicating when it blew up, then they cut to the buoy feed, which was lagging a couple seconds behind, so we could see the explosion, from a clear lens, that hadn't been sprayed with water.
Yep! I know that, you know that, and almost everyone here knows that. It's just too bad that the media trolls wouldn't say that, if the video showed it splashing and kabooming.
And yet the windshield wipers just turn on randomly in my Tesla. Haha man, auto wipers must be hard to figure out.
Nah, Elon used dumbasses like you to fund rockets like this.
👀🤳🌐🇧🇩👌Awesome
Is it me or is the landing still a little too hard, not that it would be as critical on Mars/Moon but still
Nein durchaus nicht so kritisch !
Ist ja quasi alles um die Ecke..
Elon + 🇺🇸 = 😧🤯😱🤓
who cleans the Debry from the ocean 🤔
Poor Fish😂😂😂
Well that is UFO for the Sentinelese !
SPEECHES
😢mama
wow, pinnicle of human engineering. a space craft that travel from texas to coast of australia over a spend of an hour and re enter earth from 25000km above ground and land right next to the camera set there ahead of time this is the pinnacle of human engineering nothing else comes close. rest is a joke compare to this
YES !!!
Whaaaaat aaaa...million dollar spent but minutes only💸💰💸😱😱😱,that is how rich Elon Musk👍🏆🎉amazing👍
Can't wait til these actually go to space. One day. One day maybe.
You gotta be kidding right
They've already been to space, so I assume you mean sit in orbit for a while, or leave orbit? 'Cause I can't wait for the first interplanetary/Luna run!
It went past the Von Karman line buddy 😂
It exploded? I see alot of pieces flying all over when it hit the water.
The flight termination explosive was detonated to intentionally blow it to pieces so that the technology/design cannot be recovered by another country. See the comment about ITAC.
wasn't design to be landed on water, pretty normal. the starship still in testing phase, 1 more version 1 left to go before they move on to something new.
Ofc they will destroy it with FTS
@@laujack24 How about landing back on land like it was designed to do?
@@freerbt4839 they probably wouldn't risk it until version 2 starship arrive some times next years. the current version of starship still in alpha state will take some time to perfect it via heat shield and design. but you can bet your ass they will try to catch it in couple more trial out with more data gathered.
How about the environmental disaster after it exploded? Who did the cleanup? Sunken parts? Toxious fluids?
Cry.
Robert. Exactly
Exactly what ULA does every time they launch,
but it's only a problem when someone you don't like owns the company, right?
@@carcinogen60yearsago no. It’s just a problem polluting like that. Whoever does it
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸MERICA!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They should have rented a landing place with a concrete base 100 m x 100 m somewhere in Australia to recover the Ship
😊
Why they throw the rocket into the water?
It's was target to see if it go direct to target they set
Elon Musk hat nur sein Müll entsorgt !
Elon Musk hat viel Milliarden Dollar. No Problem.
Dude make a landing pad with longer legs in the XY axis, the tilt will be minimal and will increase landing success.
NEW VIDEO
I was driving on the freeway last night and witnessed this happen, my family didn’t believe me when I said a rocket exploded and then crashed but here’s my proof😊
But it did not return home
Yes it did, just not in one piece
Wait. Were they planning to sail Starship back to Texas after landing it hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia? I'd like to think I would have read something about that. I hope I'm not being gaslit here...
@@Asterra2 No, there was never a plan to bring this one back.
It was not intended to.
Is there a night vision footage of this anyone cuz i cant really see the ship flip
Es ist nicht umgekippt !
Es lag noch kurz im Wasser !
Aber wirklich nur kurz, und Musk sein Starchip war mal wieder Geschichte.
Night vision would perhaps be similarly overwelmed by the engines pointing at the camera.
ELON MUSK IS THE BOMB!!!
His engineers are incredible.
@@JGS123WRPTPWhat is with all this shifting of the praise onto the people working under him and not the man himself? Like him or not, he’s the guy who comes up with the ideas and has the money to back them up.
@epj0211 I understand what ur saying yes elon owns the company and possibly came up with the idea of starship but the engineers are the ones that works very hard to just build it and engineer it
@@epj0211 Because the engineers do the actual work, and Elon tries to make as many people as possible hate him by sharing his awful opinions on twitter
@@epj0211 Without the engineers it would never happen. They're the ones who make the magic happen.
Amazing how cheap, yet effective something can be, with very little red tape.
These are the most spoilt engineers if they can cheer at their rocket exploding
It's not like a SLS that takes over a year to make at a $2 billion pricetag. They can churn an entire Starship prototype stack out in a month, for under $100 million. Plus, you deliberately land a rocket in the ocean, it's gone for good whether it explodes after tip-over or not, so why not enjoy the fireworks?
it was supposed to explode bruh
Yes. Need to wait to hear if they cleared termination system after landing or if it was just left over propellant but it was supposed to blow up and sink.
When you ditch a rocket into the ocean, such as during a test flight of a prototype vehicle (just providing a hypothetical), whether it explodes after tip-over or not, it's not coming back. So you might as well appreciate whatever fireworks you get out of it. Maybe there would have been less cheering if this had been a $2 billion vehicle that took over a year to construct, the way SLS does, but Starship stacks can be made in a month for under $100 million. It's no big expenditure and they obviously made huge strides with the test.
Ha, depends on if that was they wanted/expected! As a engineer of more modest things than rockets, some months ago was trying to recreate some product failures we've had in the field. Several failed attempts (unit did not fail) and finally blew it up. Yippee! Now we know that if we do X it will fail.
“If he[Trump] loses, man, what…” Carlson said with a laugh, “you’re fucked, dude.”
“I’m fucked. If he loses, I’m fucked,” Musk said as they both laughed. “How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Do you think? Will I see my children? I don’t know.”
So any whale or sea creatures are just killed for nothing and humans are celebrating........truly selfish creatures we are. Makes my stomach ill
Nothing died. Settle down. Fish get killed by fishing more then starship will ever do.
Come on !
Wait till you learn that every expendable rocket ever before SpaceX crashes into the ocean.
Probably better if you stay at home in your safe space and pay no attention to what is going on in the world. It might be too much to take.
@@odietamo9376 of all the things to be sad about in this world. Its crazy that these people exist
The odds of this killing anything is extremely remote
Rooting for SpaceX is like rooting for Dr. Evil.
You are an absolute dumbass. What is the alternative? ULA? Sue Origin?
A Musk hater, huh? Okay, have fun. I guess I’m rooting for Dr. Evil in that case.
Aww...Does his political affiliation hurt your feelings 😂
what a stupid analogy.
Elon for President 🫡
no
He’s South African
@@duckvs.chipanddale585 i know!!! Smart Guy👏🏻
He wasn’t born in the US, so that’s not going to happen, but I understand where you’re coming from. However, he could still play some other role in government. Not sure he’d want to though.
@@odietamo9376 wow you are really clever...that was a Joke .. 😡
All the live fish under that ocean turned into a seafood boil just throw in some potatoes and corn and boom 😹
The poor Sealife. SAD
lmao small chance of any fish getting hurt by some explosion happening about the water surface
Ocean is big and this is mostly just steel. Heck, the heat shield material is not much different from literal rocks (just much lighter)
@@disclaimer6872 dolphins, whales, etc. Not funny to me
@@deniseelles4545 Such a remote chance of anything being in that spot. Either way they'd be swimming away if they saw it.
If it weren’t for SpaceX, almost every single rocket launch would end up like this. SpaceX is putting an end to crashing rockets in the ocean
Sir fast comment 😊
😪💔💔
4 out 5 blowing up, how is that "progress" for Mars? And why are you landing in water? Their is no water on Mars you know? How does any of this help get you to Mars?
haha, them sweet sweet liberal tears. tell that to 7000 satellite and over 150+ perfect launch and landing of falcon 9. the same thing you said was put here on youtube 1 decade ago about falcon 9. are you telling me that he wouldn't perfect starship like he did with falcon 9 a decade. typical liberal, well I could understand why tho, he's a traitor in the eye of liberal because he switch from a democrat to republican. but at the same time, he's actually represent progress for mankind. which why you liberal hate him soo much lol, if he's still a democrat with anti trump stand you all be sucking his dick and praise him like no tomorrow
You cannot be serious right now. There is no way people are this dumb
@@duckvs.chipanddale585 that you don't know 4 out of 5 blew up while landing on water that does not exist on Mars? Talking about not believing things...🤷🤣
@duckvs.chipanddale585 prove to me how blowing up or landing in water is progress for a Mars landing...how does any of this help?
@duckvs.chipanddale585 prove anything I said wrong. 4 out 5 blew up, it is in all the videos, it landed in water, it is also in the videos, their is no water on Mars, prove to me Mars has oceans for you guys to land in...how can you believe any of this is "progress" for landing on Mars.
Go clean up your failed mess.
I guess you should say that to every rocket launch provider about every single launch they do.
SpaceX is the only company that catches their operational rocket and re-uses it.
@@kedrednael catch? you deluded fool.
@@alch3myau they caught a booster at the launch site, search it up you fool
@@alch3myau
You're really confident for being such an ass, and wrong.
This is not flight 5, flight 5 is e great susefull
This is the Starship from flight 5, landing in the Indian ocean. One hour after the booster was caught at the launchsite.
So their cheering Musk dripping crap in the ocean now ?
Wow, you’re a dope. Do you have even the faintest idea of all the things Musk has accomplished? He is a one in a century type of genius. Newton, Einstein, etcetera. Now, make sure you separate your recyclables correctly!
All rocket manufacturers currently dump their boosters in the ocean, aside from China who occasionally dump them on villages. The entire point of this rockets development is to create full reusability and put an end to that wasteful practice.
@@StuSaville Good points. EVERYONE, including NASA's other overpriced space contractors, dumps EVERYTHING in the ocean. Musk RECYCLES to not only save money for his customers, but to also reduce the amount of junk we put into the oceans. "@sailinbob11" is just being a left wing punk.
SPACE X EST QUE DU FAKE
Whatever you say, stupid one. 😂😂😂😂😂
Vote Trump for a Mars project.
Yeah, I suppose that would make the fascism worth it.
@@harpfully Aww, lil' lying bedwetter, are you crying because your whore Kamala is going to be crushed? Poor lil' lying bedwetter!
