#SpaceX successfully launched its Starship megarocket Thursday on an uncrewed test flight to orbit and back, achieving several key milestones for the first time.
The nearly 400-foot #rocket is the most powerful booster ever developed and SpaceX aims to make the system fully reusable. #Shorts

My congratulations to ALL the TEAM involved in this success. Truly amazing! Keep it up TEAM.
Why?
ماشاء الله تبارك الرحمن من اي البلاد هذا ؟
America 🇺🇸
I thought Allah Was only merciful if you did the right things? Is that mercy? I know this really really cool Jewish guy who will forgive you if you choose to accept it.
Can we seriously do away with NASA already and save our citizens Billions of dollars every year in taxes; because they accomplish nothing and have always been liars about what they have accomplished. They are seriously a pathetic organization and they thought they would alwasy be able to get away with it but then Elon Musk came along and on his own dime has accomplished more in both space travel and exploration to building the single best rocket ever built and has also sent up more satellites in one go than NASA has their entire existence almost.
خدا قوت ایلان ماسک
They were only 700 KM/H short of prbital velocity. It literally makes 0 difference for re-entry as that velocity would be lost high up in the atmosphere. That is the whole point of these tests to simulate orbital velocity.
RIP speakers
Lol
I live 30min from boca chica and even worked at the space x job site. The amount of contamination in the area is horrible and the wild animals that live there are suffering from it. They could have chosen another area like a desert but instead chose a place where wild life was prospering…
How are they suffering and what’s happening to the land?
@@SamScott99 none of animal suffering that just fake concern about nature
🐎💩
How mature
Team Musk! Go! Go!
how much does 1 rocket launch contribute to global warming and the weather cycle
We don’t talk about that… Let’s just make sure Elon gets some more money.
Rocket doesn’t involves in Global warming because there is no continuous running engine who emits heat for years
Engineer here, I see some saying that they believe emissions from these rocket launches are destroying the environment in south Texas, so I figured I’d run some numbers out of curiosity. Some preliminaries: the natural gas used by this rocket produces roughly half the carbon emissions per unit mass of fuel as compared to gasoline. The starship consumes about half its fuel (500 tonnes) in the portions of the atmosphere that could have any impact on the surrounding area. New York City alone consume 17.2E6 tonnes of gasoline per year or 47,000 tonnes per day. About 75% of this consumption is concentrated across six hours per day split between the two side of a daily commute. So, now for the math, I’ll save you from the boring details and some of the assumptions made for stoichiometric ratios. If NYC commuters would all shut their cars off for 2 minutes and 36 seconds the emissions of a Starship launch would be negated. In other terms, today alone, NYC traffic has done more damage to the environment than 141 starship launches, or every launch and static fire (accounting for reduced consumption by other models of Spacex rockets) Spacex has performed in its entire history. Long story short, this launch is the environmental equivalent of the five grains of salt that missed the pan last night when I was cooking and came off my socks on the walk to work this morning.
Thanks for the info but we are talking about a concentrated area and burning a hole in the upper atmosphere i cant help to think that it is not a good comparison more a biased opinion and also its not just one rocket so what’s the accumulative effect
@@zipdotdash I am disheartened to see you failed to read my full comment. The accumulative effective, as I stated, of all of Spacex’ launches to date, is less than that of one day’s traffic in NYC. Their contribution is 90% of the communications satellites in space, a ride to the ISS, and more than double their closest competing country by tonnes to orbit over the last two years. You would be hard pressed to find any atmospheric scientist that would say there is any calculable difference in concentration. I am going to go with the ionosphere since that would be the only portion of the atmosphere disturbed by the exhaust of methane. I am getting closer to the edge of my training since my studies are mechanical and electrical engineering so I encourage you to do your own research but I’ll give it a shot. The burning of LNG in the ionosphere does cause the de ionization of some free electrons and their atoms. These molecules are ionized by uv radiation. The ionosphere serves three purposes to our knowledge. It interacts with radio waves to allow for communications, reflects some uv radiation away from earth, and reflects some escaping uv back to earth. When de ionization occurs it requires uv radiation to then ionize the particles again. The energy from this process is expelled as light at a rate relatively equivalent to that which would have been expelled. This is why the sky can glow orange after a rocket launch. It’s frankly a beautiful dance of a natural, harmonic, feedback loop that can be observed in real time. You are free to think something in my stats of my first comment is a bias of mine, I welcome the discussion, but as an educated inhabitant of the same planet as everyone else, I really would find it hard to see a reasonable motive for me having a bias as I too have to live on this planet. To me, considerations like this are to be weighed against their reactions. There is no evidence that the effects of launching spacecraft are harmful enough to the planet that our modern communications as we know it could be valued so little as to revert back to a post satellite era, just the same as I can not justify using wooden dinnerware instead of ceramic, just because it would require a hole to be dug for the excavation of clay and silicon to make.
Ok, give me a second to double check your figures. 😮
Why would you modify the orginal footage? Zoomed in an a cropped
Flat earthers aren’t cooked
Not going anywhere.
Why?
God, look at the focus on that flame. You can see the internal geometry! Made that giant rocket look like a feather it moved so fast
