@@PeterFamiko-lw8ue from what I've heard, the first booster catch on the last flight was literally like one second away from aborting. It didn't come straight down to the tower, it came down over an empty space nearby, because they didn't want it taking out the tower if it crashed and blew up. But the internal computers confirmed the calculations at the last minute, and committed to the tower catch.
I really liked the compilation clip you guys put together at 2:38:00 it has been a crazy 5 years and the last one and a half year so much progress has been made, can't wait for flight 7, thanks for all the angels and the high quality productions you guys make.
Who is working the cameras? You pull away from the close up of the launch pad just seconds before engine ignition? Can't keep the rocket centered in frame? Compared to filming the launch of Flight 5, this is terrible.
yeah the bunch of camera switching right at launch is very frustrating. Just pick 1 camera and stick with it please? Can always go back and show the other cams afterwards.
Confused saying, used by mere aircraft pilots, like myself. These guys are testing technology - and their "testing to destruction" methodology has revolutionized the whole space industry...😅 But this is dangerous sh*t - people will eventually die as well. Just like with every other mode of transport on the planet.
I dont expect the second stage keep slowing the speed of fall. ONly increase in the las 800m altitude and maybe because the start of engines. That mean is a lot of surface to slow down, can work on Mars without parachute or engine start.
Honestly the fact that #6 failed before V2 is a good thing because it wont cause any additional delay considering that V2 is already delayed to begin with so they now have that same time to analyze the data and sync with V2. So we're probably looking at #7 in late Jan-Feb 2025 Edit: The booster catch failed. The BOOSTER.
@@jasonfrost5025 conclusions taken from your ass ? if booster sank ( i've not watched it after starship dive) it would've been better for ocean life as it would form a artificial reef.
So sad that it was too late for me to watch live, this was great. They might not have caught the booster ( and frankly catching it the first time was against the odds, this is only the SIXTH launch, and only the second try for catching ) but this certainly seems like it's going smoother and smoother with each try. The wrinkling we see on the ships body during re-entry seems concerning, I wonder if it's the result of stress from how aggreesibe their angle of attack was. Could be an area to reinforce in the future. Still burn through on the flap, but not nearly as bad as the last two launches, so improvement there. All in all, this seems like it was a great launch and a good step forward. And since I'm greedy, now I can't wait for Launch 7
Although the Booster Catch was aborted, another successful test flight by SpaceX. I am wondering though how SpaceX expects to achieve rapid reusability when the Ship keeps getting damaged during re-entry from the plasma created by the rapid descent through the atmosphere. Is it just me or does it it seem that the entire Ship needs some sort of protection? It doesn't have to be as strong as the heat-shield used on areas most exposed to the plasma but something to reduce heat related stress on the remaining exposed steel of the Ship. Great progress so far but there seems to me there's a long long way to go before a crewed Starship flight can be achieved, and before we get serious about traveling to Mars. Who knows, we may have nuclear propulsion by then.
Awesome all the way! Spacex just keeps giving it to us! We were so blessed to see a catch on the first Attempt! Lets wait and see what the triggered the Divert to ocean landing!
Ship 31 didn't want booster 13 to steal its moment in the sun, like booster 12 did with ship 30, so it kindly asked booster 13 to live up to its bad luck number, and pretty please not perform a catch that would soak up everyone's attention. Booster 13, being a good sport, and wanting to take a bath anyway, agreed, and having both splashed down in the open sea, one day some of their particles will meet up once again. And both lived happily ever after. Right, on to block 2!!!!
When the video is showing the engine bay cam looking down on earth, I see little light dots racing through the sky. What are they? Are those low orbit satellites?
For now, this is amazing, but it is not a new era, this is still a rocket. I predict that it will take less than 10 years for the first spacecraft without rocket propulsion
Booster 13. A true hero. (It did nothing, so it's really not but we don't want it to feel bad.) The static fire was nice. The transport was precise. The launch was full of spice. But the splashdown did not suffice.

What catch??
Contrary to the title, they did not catch a booster.

Edit: The booster catch failed. The BOOSTER.
It did NOT FAIL. The ship performed far better than they planned. So it was a success, not a failure. Be accurate.
@Cruiserfrank I'm talking about the booster catch you dumb fuck.
The title is misleading, they did not catch the booster. But pretty good coverage
They set the title before the launch happened and they were expecting a booster catch but it didn’t happen
How so? The catch was aborted after the livestream started.
@@likemac2000 they created the live video a few days prior. They haven’t changed the title yet

noooooooo i missed it, tough i had more time!!!!
Would the booster be less likely to explode during the water entry if while hovering above the water they burned off all the excess fuel?
I would think probably not. The part that explodes is the vapor in the tank, the liquid burns after that. No way to get rid of the gas.
@@Jaker788 They could dump the fuel and vent the gas, the way airplanes do before crash landing.
Poor lift off direct images this Time... Was disappointed.
But all the same, thx you for your work

Yes
@@soop8788Not for booster. They aborted the catch.
For ship yes , for booster if the tower or booster doesn't meet the health checks it is planned to land in the ocean
"Seeing it with my own eyes..."
Because maybe he could've gotten an eye transplant as an option instead?
not sure why they blow it up. seems like it would be easier to pick up 1 piece than a thousand.
Can spacecraft use gravity assist to decelerate prior to reentry?
Quick question. Why can’t the starship re-enter slowly?
Would Love to see low angle engine less landing like plane on water like emergency landing on water..

@@jasonfrost5025 Are you joking? You seem to have a very cringy difficulty recognizing what the process of reasoning entails.
Liquid oxygen and methane aren't toxic.
*every* other rocket throws in entire rocket away into the ocean afterwards. Atleast they’re trying to recover it lol.
Booster Catch Aborted is a nice way of saying we failed to catch it.
Well not really. They didn't attempt to catch it they didn't fail to catch it. totally different game.
they didn't fail to catch it; letting it splash down in the ocean was just the safer option

So the trifecta: night sky light pollution; smoke and exhaust fumes in the atmosphere and debris & fuel in the ocean. So brilliant.
Wonderful - if only they could do it every day.
i like how they praise failure .. "Good job buster, good job" (after explosion) :)
Still no ORBIT....just alot of excuses
Partial failure of test mission. Call it as it is.
