If you compare reentry videos of this ship and the one in IFT-5, you'll see it clearly lacks a lot of tiles on the sides, probably because that's where mechazilla arms will hit it during a catch attempt. Considering they did a test the last time to determine whether tiles are really necessary there, this is probably fine.
The rainbow tint is just a thin oxide layer formed from the high heat during reentry. It’s caused by chromium in the steel reacting with oxygen at high temperatures and doesn’t affect the steel’s strength or reusability.
I see them putting back some tiles on the area that buckled. That might help disperse the heat in a different direction. Looked ready for welding though so those new tiles will have some work.
*The melting point of high-grade stainless steel, depending on the specific alloy, typically falls within the range of 1400°C to 1530°C (2550°F to 2790°F), with some variations based on the grade, with higher grades like 430 stainless steel having a slightly higher melting point than common grades like 304. - Kloeckner Metals Corporation*
Yeah because compared to its predecessors, its heat shield was crippled - missing over 2000 tiles. It was not expected to survive. Their simulations said it would not survive. This was a test to destruction, and it survived. Ideally they wouldve towed it to Australia for recovery, but it broke in two after landing.
Imagine what it will feel like for the passengers in the future when Starship performs that maneuver. How many of them are going to lose their lunch? Lol.
I dont understand why they would ever want to catch the ship. I thought the whole point was that it would land upright on the moon and mars @boing7679
That's not going to be reusable. It came apart when it fell over and there was unspent fuel burning through the open seams. At least, they can examine it and improve it. Having the booster back in examination condition is excellent information to have. The people at SpaceX do great work.
A 50 meter tall steel tube with 4mm thick walls breaks open when it fell over. Go figure. They build, transport, and launch that thing vertically for a reason.
It's amazing how, after six launches, people still think dropping an empty rocket in the ocean is a success. SLS successfully made a lunar injection on its first and only luanch. Starship has destroyed 11 vehicles on 6 launches and hasn't taken a payload.
they've already proven their ability to land the ship at starbase, look at SN15 and SN10 (well not really SN10 but kinda?) it was part of the mission profile for it to land and blow up in the indian ocean. if it was an orbital flight they could come back and land at starbase, but the suborbital trajectory means they land in the indian ocean.
Yes, success. Before you catch it, you must safely land it on target which they have proven they can do reliably with the ship. Next flight will be the last ship splashdown and if nothing went wrong, they’ll catch flight 8’s ship
@@logitech4873 Do you not find the lie that the starship can land upright on a non existent concrete landing pad on the Moon and Mars, that does not exist disturbing? This is an outright lie, and a physical impossibility, which is very disturbing that brain dead people are clapping for. So if you think you will be disturbed at the stupidity of Americans.

@@someidiot4311Nope, no recovery of ship hardware rn. They sank it, and it'll rust away to nothing at the bottom of the ocean. Fortunately, its mostly just steel, ceramics, copper, and other misc. metals, so its not toxic
@rjung_ch lithium is a natural component of seawater, so lithium iron are not a pollutant. The ship is stainless steel like sea going vessels which are quite frequently used as artificial reefs. So considering every rocket from every country for the last 70 years except SpaceX, what you're doing is just virtue signaling on something you clearly don't understand.
@@ranchis9044 I am aware that SpaceX has the lowest rate of debris out there, they could be catching up one day or if the reusability works out as planned, then not. I don't like it when the others do it, be it NASA, ESA, each and every other country like NZL and CHN and others. Also, each war game they have each year, that's a lot of pollution, it never ends. That's all I wanted to say, more pollution. Is the planet so worthless to so many that nobody cares? I won't try and find excuses either for what's happening, I point them out. Fewer flights and fewer war games would help, less Alibaba, Amazon or Temu and others would help as well. Peace to you, I totally understand the big picture, hope you do as well.

Ngl thats a lot of colour change on the steel, i wonder how it will affect reusability

Fired
Q? The average surface pressure on Mars is around .088psi. How will this thing glide with no resistance?
There is enough atmosphere to cause drag - just look at the spacecraft that have landed there. They slow down a lot during atmosphere entry.
Theres at least enough to slow it down to a speed low enough that the engines can do the rest
It's burned and fell down and yet crowd is keep cheering like it was a suck-sess.

Is there a way of it being able to stay upright when touching down into the water? Like changing the design and making it more bouyont or balanced
No, its too tall, and the water is too rough
@ okay, maybe a system like an advanced buoyant platform design could be implemented to achieve such a stable landing in the future perhaps.
Boink

I was thinking the same thing regarding the thermal shock when the lower "hot" end hits the water.
In the future they're trying to catch it right
if it lands in the water with people on it, they already had worse problems to deal with.
So what's the point of landing in the sea?
Just to test if Starship is ready to do more complex landings and getting caught by the tower
No people live there
I really missed the banana
No kaboom?
They should try to land it on land or a Ship Platform
Elon say they plan to catch it on flight 8 with the catch arms too, but it's Elon so might be a bit later

It fell over because it landed in the ocean
Wow that's amazing

SLS successfully made a lunar injection on its first and only luanch. Starship has destroyed 11 vehicles on 6 launches and hasn't taken a payload.
Landing it with the pointy end first might also be made to work somehow.
Wow. It safely crashed into the ocean. Success!?!?
they've already proven their ability to land the ship at starbase, look at SN15 and SN10 (well not really SN10 but kinda?) it was part of the mission profile for it to land and blow up in the indian ocean. if it was an orbital flight they could come back and land at starbase, but the suborbital trajectory means they land in the indian ocean.
If it had done the same thing on land it wouldn't have tipped over, so yes
Yes, success. Before you catch it, you must safely land it on target which they have proven they can do reliably with the ship. Next flight will be the last ship splashdown and if nothing went wrong, they’ll catch flight 8’s ship
