SpaceX Starship SN10 prototype flew to an altitude of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) and landed 6 minutes and 20 seconds after liftoff on Mar. 3, 2021. Unfortunately, it exploded several minutes after touchdown - see it here: videos.space.com/m/bYPbUiBr/spacex-starship-sn10-e…

    “Yay it didn’t blow up” SN10 after being safely on the ground for 10 minutes: "my work here is done, my brothers are waiting"
  • @BLKBRDD
    6:12 has to be one of the best videography shots I’ve ever seen
  • @ReveredDead
    The engineers are world class man. Seriously every one of SpaceX's Engineering staff are making the future in real time.
  • @catmandenny
    These new style rockets make those old 1950s movies look a lot more credible.

    SN 10: lands successfully  SpaceX: “Mission success, we changed the world... later” explodes
  • @dansgroi1472
    I like the elements of a shuttle on reentry. It makes alot of sense. With better control. For the ship itself. The landings, still trip me out. The precision to do that. Is something to be 100 percent admired and appreciated.

    I don’t know about anyone else so I’m speaking purely for myself. My adrenaline Spiked hard when StarShip did that landing engine relight maneuver. The pure excitement was exhilarating at best and I bet my feelings of joy are nothing compared to those working on this project. I have high hopes for them all. Thank you for your efforts, SpaceX team!
  • @TheNefastor
    SN10 the over-achiever : it managed to land AND explode, providing even more engineering data than a mere successful landing.
  • @TheNefastor
    I love that it looks exactly like a spaceship a kid would draw. Pointy end up, flamey end down, shiny, with big fins.
  • @perkins1439
    When it maneuver 45° for Touchdown it look like CGI it's incredible
  • Stunning! If I hadn't have seen it on YT I would snicker and scoff but the camera angles are stellar and irrefutable. Bravo space X.
  • @evilgamer6382
    SN 10 : * lands successfully * That guy : a successful landing also SN 10 : " and I took that personally "
  • @RichardSamul
    SN8: Tries to land, explodes. SN9: Tries to land, explodes. SN10: Lands, then explodes. This is progress. One problem at a time.

    Incredible achievement! I'm blown away by the sheer engineering advances of Space X. What an amazing demonstration of rocketry, navigation, computer controlled trajectory and engine thrust vectoring.
  • @glenzisko7974
    That was incredible to watch never thought I’d see rockets like that in my lifetime 👍
  • As an old aircraft design engineer I am blown away by this. What a tremendous advancement by the SN10 team of engineers! Amazing...
  • @Byteable
    6:12 - the shot on this angle looks like straight out of a video game.
  • I love how the cadence of launches and advancement SpaceX is going. It truly puts other companies to shame when it comes to what matters....money vs making history. Amazing job!
  • The filming of this is just a big achievement as the launch itself. Incredible precise focussing and aperture management.
