those grid fins trying so hard orienting the booster. its simple too beautiful..
It looked like it hit major turbulence just before it failed. Went through clouds and then???
@@mountainmantesla4395 Engines couldn't lit earlier and being still at mach 1 on touchdown means that they went in the wrong trajectory/didn't decelerate enough.
so sad to see the booster trying it's best to survive 😭
Recycled rockets😂😂😂
more like its trying too hard, it looks like it needs to chill down its controll feedback
Born too late to explore new lands born too early to explore the galaxies
😢😂
I know it sucks. Future generations are going to be lucky, they will be able to live on different planets, etc. Lucky bastards.
Born too early to experience global warming and overpopulation. Born too late to live in the Dark Ages.😢
Haven't you heard the world is ending? WW3 has already started. The war to end industrial period
born right at the exact time to see humanity go to Mars. Be grateful for the fact that God gave you the gift of life lil bro
I appreciate the unbiased headline from this event from a large media.
Very rare!
Bar is low
Cnn is blaming Elon's rockets for global warming 😂😂😂😂😂
It's sad how rare that is these days
"Starship launch: Third flight reaches space but is lost on re-entry" say the media. 3rd failure in a row.😂
"unbiased" WSJ.🤣
Literally from the first test tank to orbit in 4 years. Image what this thing is gonna do in only two more years.
I guess they’ll actually be able to recover at least one booster. Maybe even have a starship survive reentry. Too bad the timeline for lunar landing (and refueling) was…this year?
@@russellharrell2747Good thing nasa isnt even ready for a moon landing
@@gioscott1177 yeah because the company they contracted the lander to isn’t close. If they’d just went the tried and true rout or if congress hadn’t cut funding, changed the constellation program a million times into what it is today, and actually had a robust space program continuing on from Apollo in the 70s as originally proposed, then yeah, maybe. At least starship reached orbit this time.
@@russellharrell2747 I dont think it reached orbit because they didnt want it to reach orbit for safety reasons, I could be wrong though
@@gioscott1177 eh, I think it proved it could reach orbit, it does sound like they scaled the flight back to suborbital. Probably smart to not try to orbit that big thing just yet, since a failed reentry over the wrong area would be a nightmare. Altho this was the third full launch of super heavy with starship and really the first or second launch should have achieved what this one did. Hopefully the next one goes well and they don’t feel the need to scale back, since it looks like Uncle Sam is still willing to hand SpaceX tons of our money.
Seeing those grid fins move was interesting. Like your first sky dive.
I think their control loop was oscillating out of control it looks like what process engineers call hunting
Each grid fin on the Starship is as big as a truck, if I remember correctly. Pretty impressive. With this launch they got a lot of test data to tune the control system for those grid fins, so I am already getting excited for the next flight test.
@@will123134 it looks like an easily solved problem if I’m right
@@will123134 you seem smart you should be able to figure out that the grid fins control software is on its first iteration for that stage of flight it’s not like they have attempted to control the booster solely with the grid fins before
Armchair expert has entered the chat.. 😂@@will123134
passing through those cloud layers will never get old
U know what never gets old ? The rockets😂
@@JonySmith-bb4gx you again?
@@Just_a_random_birb heyyyy it's the musk rat
Life as a grid fin is pretty tough, they seem to be the little hero's of Elons rockets
fyi, elon has nothing to do with spacex other than being a financial backer. He doesn't make decisions, do any management, or have valid opinions. Like all f his business ventures (besides twitter, which has shown everyone why he should never be at the helm of any company)
@@evoliciousGot any research? I’m curious.
@@evolicious well he did make one major decision, which was to not have flame suppression on the first starship flight and thus made it a disaster.
@@evolicious he was chief engineer of space x

Watching Starship boldly zoom into space reminds us all why we dream big. 🚀✨ What an era to be alive in!
We are coming Mars.
Im going to Miami.
No. No we are not.
@@ninjakid1003 do you mean those of us old enough to read this? If so, then yes that's true for the vast majority of us (definitely me!). But 'we' as in humans - well then yes, we're definitely coming.
First of many steps to Mars, but we're still a long way of getting there.
Not in your lifetime. Besides, there’s absolutely no point in going to Mars.
A big step for mankind
It failed....
@@Horizon-hj3ycno it didn’t..
@@Horizon-hj3ycpal it's not ur paper rocket to succeed in one step it takes time n it was better than the last that's the way u learn😂
a big step for ignorance
I'm also hyped but it's such a shame that corporate america is driving humankind's endeavor, hopefully in the future we can make it through an international science fund.
Flat earthers are all like nice fisheye lens Elon lol😂
They will say something crazy like “once you get high enough the atmosphere(lack of) starts to deform what the camera sees and it makes things look round!”. 😂 I could imagine a flat earther saying something like that.
CGI

The earth is flat bud
@@MusicCIA876 Absolutely, this nonsense is beyond comical!
@@dougcarter1423 No stop spreading misinformation Earth is a cube not flat.
I cant watch thos and not cry... its such an emotional rush .... this is not one man effort , we are all in... God bless us all...
Notice the curve of the earth... wonderful
Flat earthers are not going to be happy about those starlink provided images 🥳
Nah they'll just scream "fake" and plug their ears like they usually do.
They will say its Fake because you cant see other Stars 🤣
Open up your Bible ❤️God bless you
@@Thuguholic open up a science book ❤️
@@Thuguholic I did, it even proves you wrong. Ecclesiastes 1:5 - "The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises." We have seen that this DOES NOT happen on a flat plane as you claim.
This completely slipped under my radar. I knew they had cleared the paperwork and were waiting for launch approval a couple days ago. Gotta be the fastest approval ever.
Well a 4 month approval. But I didn’t expect them to launch straight away.
Just shows you how much they want this to work.
Yeah they received the launch license only around 18 hours before the launch itself
Congratulations, Space X! Better and better every time!
this is not CGI !!!
😂😂😂
We are living in exciting times!
Yep.... AI taking over our lives and jobs and will be used by evil people in war or to take control, the increasing threat of nuclear war, climate change.... yeah, such "exciting" times. Stop fooling yourself.... there is reason why the doomsday clock is at 90 seconds to midnight according to scientists/experts.
Not as exciting as the height of the space race but yeah, it's crazy what they've accomplished so far.
@@gbbarnwe are in the height of space flight right now, never in mankind have their been so many rocket launches by so many different countries
@@gioscott1177 sure, space flight, sadly not space exploration, we're at the height of space flight driven by corporate interests, well at least we're doing something. Even if it's catching up to the result of decades of NASA's budget cuts. Don't get me wrong, I'm hyped, but it's a mix of feelings, knowing it's not in the name of science :(
@@gbbarn I can give you a ton of reasons why we are at the height of the space exploration but for some reason you still wont care
1:58 anyone know what kind of cameras they use to get shots like this?
Congrats to the spacex team on an incredible launch 🎉🎉🎉
The whole point of a flight is that you actually return safely. 🤣
@@Horizon-hj3yc The most important goal is getting into orbit and delivering the payload of up to 250 tons. I expect with the fourth test, they will deliver large satellites into orbit, which will allow them to mitigate future costs. The long term goal is to have humans travel to the moon with the starship, but that will not happen until 50+ successful launches.
Congrats to space x for not giving minimum wage and loading another rocket
@@thatsmeomfgikr6220 soooo no recycle rockets 😂
@@Horizon-hj3ycwrong. The point of the flight was to find failure points and get real-world flight data
"Nominal," they kept saying. "Phenomenal," I kept thinking.
gotta hand it to them for ALWAYS provideing on board hi def camera footage !
Last two flights (IFT-1 & 2) had no live on board views, this flight had more bandwidth due to increasing the amount of Starlink terminals on both the Ship and the Booster and thus they were able to share the views live
Either that or something else related to ITAR or something like that
@@JULIAN11.Are you joking? You can search up the on board footage of the first two flighte
Such a fantastic view! 🚀Major awesome Thanks for letting us see ❤

Kkkkkkk
6:32 thanks a lot man for jinxing us all with a hard splashdown instead of a soft one 👏
It's not a close flight, science beats religion anytime. Great work!
Who said anything about religion? We're all God's creation watching the ability of man. Yall need to cool it
Awesome!
I missed it this morning. I’m so bummed. Did it land safely or did they destruct?
destroyed during re entry
Booster ran out of propellant and impacted water at high speed, destroyed.
Starship re entered but lost communication during. Not sure if they were able to destroy it with "controlled deconstruction" or if it just crash landed. But I think they said it went down in Indian Ocean so not intended spashdown zone.
It sucks so much that SpaceX isn't live streaming these on RUclips any more. I used to watch every single launch
~Trav
It was more stable for me on X than it ever was on RUclips.
Did that last shot of the booster at 7:04 show the engine blasting water as it touched down (way too fast)?
Now that you mention it, it kinda does look like that. I was thinking it could have been a fuel leak
Since it hit 0km altitude at 1111km/h, yes it obliterated itself.
@@HopesedgeThat's like mach 0.9 lol
That thing is RIPPING!! Wow
Really, really, amazing.SpaceX you Rock-it.
Absolutely wonderful!
I wonder what flat earthers are saying now?! 🤣🤦♂️
WHY is this not on every major news network!
SpaceX never ceases to amaze us. Example of work and dedication. In good time Elon Musk.
This is called a failure. The third in a row. It's purpose is to bamboozle and you fell for it.
@@David-wc5zlIndeed, another fail, and the next one will fail too... and the next one too.... it's a flawed design, extremely unreliable.
@@Horizon-hj3yc curious do you also say this about falcon missions?
@@Horizon-hj3yc Well, it took nasa 11 missions and 3 casualties with a 2% of the federal budget to put neil and buzz on the moon.
@@Horizon-hj3yc it doesn't just happen in one day mate LOL I'd really love to see you try to gather a team and do this.
Been watching these launches since the start, never gets old, don't think it ever will.
Great stuff! 🎉
Congrats to Space X for successfully launching a ship 20% taller than the statue of liberty into orbit.
Next up the moon then mars.
It's very nice to see starship not blow up shortly after lift off
This was just incredible to watch!
This was better then watch World Cup final. When they succeed will be boring I guess, till they get the rocket 🚀 to moon.
Incredible marvel
Need to adjust or add grid fins if possible
I came here to see biggest fire work. But got disappointed.
Super Amazing! STUNNING!! Rita Oelifse...

Can't believe that huge starship made it that high
Exhaust and fins look fenomenal
*finomenal

What was that object below at 5,22???!!!
Flat earthers are going to have an anger-induced stroke after seeing this
They already are
WoW!
I dont understand something. The ship reaches 6kph initially but then moves horizontally and accelerates later on. But theres only one reading that shows speed and it seems to move fluidly the whole flight from 0 to 26k or whateevr orbital speed is. But they must change what that meter means because that initial 6k vertical speed becomes 0 once its in orbit .
It would be better if there was one reading for horizontal velocity and one for vertical velocity?
Anyone get what I mean? Its hard to explain.
It's a vector for its forward velocity. When it goes completely sideways at its apogee as long as it doesn't point back down it maintains whatever vertical speed it had on ascent (which is pretty small or close to 0 by then due to gravity counteracting) combined with the horizontal velocity.
@@lenarianmelon4634 Just like in a plane!
Add a pair of grid fins below the original ones. Thank me later
What a beautiful view of earth!

This is like pre Star Trek warp travel stuff. Amazing to think the our understanding of science has allowed us to calculate both small and large predictions of the next few years and thousands to come.
@6:58 you can see some debris hitting the gridfin!
Those cheers are so awesome.
It was a sight too see.
awesome

What a time to be alive😁
Wow!!
成功了❤
Space X is a machine. The rapid iterations they can achieve can’t be replicated anywhere. In a short period of time space X has surpassed anything NASA could do in 10years in just a few years.
It will not be long until we are actually sending people back to the moon on Starship.
That's what proper funding can do! Haha
@@brandzwright773SpaceX gets a fraction of the funding of NASA.
@@zachb1706 yeah but it don't cost 30,000 for a bolt
@@brandzwright773so it not about the funding but management style and culture
It's awesome. But this isn't something NASA couldn't do in 10 Years. They have already gone to the Moon and back. Any success from SpaceX is on the shoulders of past science and technologies developed and put into practice by NASA and the public sector. This doesn't take away any merits from SpaceX of course, but let's be accurate here, they are not reinventing the wheel, they are innovating on top of existing technologies; that also is awesome.
Did anyone else see those super fast little objects down below towards earth about 2/3 s into the clip? Satellites?
Pointed is scary 😂😂
Looks more like the falcon instead of the Starship.
BRAVO! ...
I have to drive a 4-cylinder car with a turbo booster on it to cut emissions, but Elon gets to fly a rocket the size of my block
Here is your daily reminder that 89% of the biggest polluters are a handful of large industry corporations. Individuals have very little to no impact on co2 levels.
Sure switching to a better emission vehicle will get you far better air quality, but you are not responsible for the actual change in said air quality.
While spacex may have some serious co2 emissions, it's nothing compared to what unregulated polluting industries cause every second of the day.
@@evolicious its the same output as flying a jumbo jet once so don't worry.
Ain't no fisheye lens there flat earthers
Left side of screen is. The contour of the rocket is concave and the earth fills-in as the height changes.
Right side is regular lens and shows a consistent flatness
Congratulations Space X Texas for an exceptional launch. 👏🏻🙌🏻
One of humanities most incredible feats in the space industry to date. GO NASA, GO SPACX, GO STARRSHIP!
I don't know anything about space engineering, but I wonder, and I think many can agree, why it is better to cover the entire ship with that protective layer against that extreme heat generated by friction when entering the atmosphere or perhaps using larger wings. to stabilize the ship
Its extremely heavy, the goal is to use as little heat shield as possible
We believed you when you said you don't know anything about space engineering, you didn't need to demonstrate it
Before I give a suggestion, I realize that the fact that SpaceX has an entire TEAM of some of the freaken smartest people on Earth on their engineering team, I think they pretty much went through all options and this may be the optimal design before sending a rocket that’s worth over 200 million + to orbit.
@@BIOHAZARDXXXX also includes the wings because you only need as much as you expect it to control
Starship ❤❤❤
Is Fuel Sloshing a problem in the Booster Return? There are Tracking Stations in Madagascar & Australia, didn't they Track Starship Re-entry, didn't some Station "Or-Ship" Lose Tracxk or See Loss Of Telemetry? Was there even a Recovery Ship in the Indian Ocean? Seems Re-Entry "Thermals & Dynamics" aren't friendly to Starship.
You can’t obtain telemetry when the rocket is going through re-entry. The plasma field prevents that. And no there was no recovery team, it was going to crash into the ocean and sink to the bottom.
I'm fortunate to live near NASA. The rocket launches never get old...
GO SPACEX!!!!!!!
Good view ❤❤
This is so exciting, absolutely incredible!!!
Congratulations! Excitement still remains! Thank you for your success!

@@JonySmith-bb4gx nope. How much did Chinese government pay you boy? I thought china does not allow RUclips cuz it will show that the country is a wreck. You better stop using vpn before they catch you lol.
Well done Elon and Gwynne and SpaceX team🎉🎉🎉
Wow🎉
Three objective flight too
Interesting to not have a plasma on way out of earth but just on entrance, maybe something to do with the speed the ship try to get in the atmosphere, I don’t know, any clue?
Keep in mind, on ascent, they are starting out at a speed of zero. Only the second stage will reach orbital velocity, but it only starts its engines at stage separation, when it is already (pretty much) above the atmosphere, so it still has a lot of accelerating yet to do once it has left the atmosphere behind. So on its way up and out of the atmosphere, it is going much slower than during re-entry.
Orbital velocity is ~28,000 kph which means there is a lot of kinetic energy it needs to shed on its way back to earth. The idea is they use the atmosphere to slow down the vehicle and shed all that energy because it is essentially impossible to carry with you all the fuel you would need to slow yourself down with a rocket if you aren’t going to use the atmosphere. (On the moon, you have to do it that way because there is no atmosphere, but also, thankfully, it only has 1/6 the gravity of earth, meaning orbital velocity is much slower and it is much easier to slow yourself down.)
One Word Only .PERFECT!!!
Wooow amazing
Beautiful! ❤❤❤
Flat earthers are going nuts over these views.
Epic!
