This is the second fully integrated full stack test flight of Starship and the mighty Super Heavy booster, the largest and most most powerful rocket to ever fly. It produces over twice as much thrust as the Saturn V that took humans to the moon.

The goal of the test is to get further along than IFT-2 in April 20th which didn't make it to stage separation while also hoping the improvements to the launch pad hold up better than the previous attempt. If all goes well, Starship will re-enter near Hawaii about 90 minutes after it lifts off from Starbase, TX, nearly completing an orbit of the Earth. This would allow the teams to test the reentry profile and heat shields for the first time from orbital velocities.

  • Congratulations to all the sleepless workers at SpaceX who made this possible.
  • @stunmunky2
    That far away and the deck is still shaking? That must be an absolutely awesome thing to witness.
  • @acaskey6314
    Bro 2.2 million views already!? Tim is killing it and someday will fly on one of those behemoth pieces of human ingenuity! Go spacex!

    Great launch and covrage! Big congratulations to everyone at SpaceX and your production team. Something interesting I've noticed is that at 7:36:17 you can see the exact moment when B9 blew up by going frame by frame and the explosion clearly came from the common dome area suggesting that it was indeed the FTS. That's great because it means that the upgraded FTS actually works and that B9 was intentionally destroyed due to something like a range violation after an anomaly in the boostback burn and did not explode from damage after hotstaging.

    A massive amount of work and inspiration produced this launch and so congratulations Space X. Great coverage on this channel, intelligent and entertaining and some amazing coverage. Also, its great you dont talk over the actual launch, really appreciate that and shows you guys want to get us as close to the event as possible.
  • @AldenDoble
    I'm going to take this opportunity to say that your footage of this launch was lightyears ahead of SpaceX's Twitter livestream coverage. It's almost embarrassing for SpaceX that they couldn't even compete with you, but at the same time a massive congratulations to you for pushing the boat out with your coverage. Thank you so much for this 🙏🏻

  • @NMansetJWard
    Wonderful coverage...I watched live at 2:30am here in Hawaii...Woke up my astrophysicist wonderful wife, I am just an engineer and have worked with NASA on JWST detectors...Born in New Orleans 62 years ago and I know the entire gulf coast from Texas to Florida, and have been in Hawaii for 36 years and was waiting to see Starship arrive miles from Kauai...When will the next test run happen is my question...smile...I watched the Apollo launch in 1969 live on TV with my grandpa when I was 10...1969 is our gate code...fun test when you tell a friend , "it's the year we landed on the moon"
