    Flight 4 was just about everything I could have asked for. If they’re serious about catching the booster for flight 5, I might get serious about traveling down there to see it in person.

  • @not2busy
    I think that this person is one of the better presenters of any of the space-related webcasts I have seen. Totally clear, comprehensible and to the point, he keeps the relevant information flowing at a good pace. Well done by him and the production crew.

    Oh, guys. The bird flying through the shot early on, perfect. Absolutely gorgeous
  • @DUKE_of_RAMBLE
    If IFT5 gets any more exciting than IFT4, I might need to watch it with a defibrillator on standby! But GODDAMN was it an amazing rollercoaster ride! 🚀♥️
  • @landgsmith
    Oh they are not taking a break! Soooo much construction going on!

    7:10 - and there's the hot staging ring appearing again, this time as a silver disk from behind the grid fin...
  • @VanishingImage
    The little flap that could!!! Was such an awesome experience!
  • @br8801
    Really interesting watching replays of reentry after the fact. First time through we had no idea what to expect, so nothing was easily identifiable as an anomaly. But on repeated viewings, knowing they were going to get burnthrough, everything we see was reframed. All of the little vapor trails that we all thought were just atmospheric effects were likely actually combustion products...vapor trails were even pouring out of the rear border of the heat shield, which suggests the interior of the ship (or maybe just the engine skirt where they intentionally left tiles off) was potentially full of smoke. And the green sparks from the flap probably bits of metal ablating away (reminds me of burning metals in a bunsen burner flame to get different colors). Funny that seeing reentry all the way through and seeing booster landings will soon be normal and common...SpaceX shifting the reality window again.

    I like the way this presenter goes about his business, his presentation style is the best of those here. Thanks !

  • @bcrisp56
    Thanks for the update! NSF staff you are awesome!
  • Love how Spacex always leaves little easter eggs like the chopsticks simulating a catch. They keep us thinking/speculating and wanting more.
