Elon Musk’s SpaceX prepares to launch its third Starship test flight from Texas after receiving the OK from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Last year’s two test flights lasted minutes before blowing up over the Gulf of Mexico. SpaceX plans a shorter, hourlong flight on the latest demo.
NASA needs Starship to succeed in order to help land astronauts on the moon in the next two or so years.

    Probably the best footage in history of the plasma barrier created upon re-entry. On space shuttle the only views were through the window. Amazing to see!
  • seeing the starship standing and rotating on the screen with calm music makes my day better
  • @boardmandave
    I think because of movies people don't realise just how an achievement this actually is well done everybody at SpaceX
  • @primusro
    The heated plasma under Starship is a thing of beauty. Deadly, but beautiful. I imagined how it could look and also seen it in movies but never live.

    The elevator music while waiting for signal acquisition, PERFECT!! 😂😂

    Happy Birthday SpaceX 🚀🎉❤

    This was the most dramatic, exciting launch I have ever seen. I've been shouting O. M. F. G for 10 minutes.

    Fantastic job by the engineers at SpaceX! Glad they went with a more traditional stage separation. Pity the first stage wasn't recoverable.
  • @Afterburner
    This was a success - The real treasure is the data they got back and the fact Starship made it to orbital insertion... WAY COOL SPACEX!
  • @user-tx2su9fh2f
    Solving specific problems to put together all the research again to complete linkages. Inspiring

    There’s something really special about watching a Starship launch live over a Starlink internet connection ❤
  • Why are the landing / steering? fins at the top of the first / booster stage fully extended prior to the lift-off and ascent portion of the mission?
  • 1:01:58 I love the live video feeds. It makes me feel as if I'm right there in the ship. I also like the choice of music, but that's my personal taste. CONGRATULATIONS on a spectacularly successful test!
  • @bones1225
    Dan, how about redundant hard drives ie RAiD,that exfoliate physically, at given intervals to maintain crucial data at every phase?
  • El cohete propulsor seguramente se destruyó al aterrizar, porque en ese momento su velocidad era de aproximadamente 1,000 km/h

    Every launch of STARSHIP is an awesome sight, this never gets old !!!
