Published 2023-04-27
SpaceX finally launched the largest and most powerful rocket ever on April 20th, 2023 from Starbase, TX. Although the flight ended with an explosion due to the flight termination system being activated, the test was largely considered a success. Well, except for the damage to the launch pad...

When a private YouTube channel can achieve shots that rival or equal the tracking shots that used to take NASA a custom modified AAA turret with massive telescopes mounted, it really speaks to both the incredible technology available now and the effort you and your team put into this! Huge appreciation!
-
The 8K tracking is better than the spacex live.. just astonishing
-
WOW that 8K tracking shot is easily the single best recording I have seen yet, hands down!
-
By far the best replay I've seen yet. The tracking shot deserves an Academy Award.
-
That footage was beyond stunning. To have clear film of an object well over 30km away it truly amazing… well done to all concerned……..
-
Holy crap, that pad cam is the stuff of nightmares with seeing a wall of darkness just coming towards you! The 8K tracked footage is also incredible.... but GOOD LORD. The sound with good in ears / headphones is something else. Absolutely immense thunderous power. You must try this with headphones if you’re not doing so, it’s unreal.
-
That 8K-shot is so good, it almost makes you forget about the outstanding sound quality. I cannot remember listening to such an amazing recording of a rocket.
-
I watched Apollo 11 live and watched Starship live too. The thrust from Starships booster engines was utterly astonishing. It is by far the largest controlled explosion in history...
-
Am I right, that 8k tracker shows what happened to the engines with better resolution than we have seen anywhere else? Invaluable! Thanks Everyday Astronaut and Cosmic Perspective!
-
I'm amazed both stages remained together through all those rolls.
-
Pad cam lasted longer than I expected! Seeing different parts failing on the 8k tracking shot is amazing. Well done everyone involved in bringing this footage to us!
-
I still find it incredible how well the full stack withstood tumbling the way it did broadside even after the flight termination charges compromised the structural integrity! Huge shout to the engineers, fabricators, and welders that built this incredible craft!
-
The quality of that tracking video is insane! Well done guys
-
7:02 you can see the sound/shock waves bouncing off the ground back through the plume, absolutely insane.
-
Certainly a worthy capture of this vehicle on its first flight attempt! The effort put into this undertaking is mind-blowing and appreciated beyond words!
-
This team has significantly raised the bar, not only on rocket cinematography, but on what is possible in independent media... again and again. I was fortunate enough to see the launch in person, and your work enhances that experience. Thank you all. Congrats newlyweds!
-
It looked like there was a lot of stuff that was broken at the bottom end of the booster. The fact that it made it as far as it did is a testament to the design, engineering, and construction of that rocket.
-
Wow. Just wow… thanks for capturing this historical moment with such quality. These are the kinds of things that we should pass on to the next generations and be insanely proud of. Please, let’s preserve this.
-
slo motion shows some great details of the flight. What an incredibly strong structure to endure the cartwheel without breaking apart.
-
I thought that was plume expansion going on before it started to pitch but this footage makes it look like hell on earth occuring in the engine section with fires raging. The engines and the structure held up remarkably well for a long time considering the carnage going on at the back of that thing.
