Looks like they nailed the booster landing.
I think they hit harder than planned. Only seven or so engines relit.

I edited. SpaceX commentary said only 7 of 13 relit.
What do yall think the pieces flying off the back are? Just ice or something else?
The cameras on this one are phenomenal!
The Raptor V3 continues to have relight issues…
Biggest milestone left at this point is Starship relight. Would be nice to see them take this thing orbital.

240 Mbps off Starship, courtesy of Starlink. Incredible.
The Hubs and I have been watching liftoffs since we were very young children. Both just watched and said that it never gets old. Still awesome.

When they are deployed into orbit. Those ones will burn up from what I heard.
Edit: my bad, you meant the video
Fun father-son viewing. (Online, not in person). Hopefully sparks an interest in math and science. Bummer on the booster; I would expect tower catch is off the table for the next launch.
That's gorgeous !!
Pretty sure the relight cutoff prematurely…
plasma(?) during relight was amazing
I'm not sure what I just saw but yes, it was beautiful!
Didn't seem like it to me. They said it should be about 14 seconds, up from 3 in previous demos, and that's about what it was.

The starkink test was successful. That was good.
But I don't think they'll want to expend boosters just to get V3 satellites into orbit

Not only the video but yes inclusive of the video. They can get 240 Mpbs off Starship in total, inclusive of all telemetry data. That's just ludicrous.
Every camera angle is awesome
Maybe it's my feed (or that I was trying to watch with an excited 5 year old) but I didn't think it reached 14 seconds. If it was that then great.
NO BOOM!!!
No boom?
That's a pretty fantastic landing!
The wing camera is still working!!! LOL
Do they try to keep it? Or will it sink get remotely blown?
The drone footage over the vehicle is amazing.
Getting some spaceship landing in a sea from Planet of the Apes vibes from these shots.
That's so awesome!
You just know the heat shield guys are loving those shots
Lightly used boat for sale. Only been out on one voyage.

EXACTLY what I said to my wife. I thought Taylor was going to exit the ship

I'd like to see them try orbit next time with a controlled landing in the Gulf of America
No, I don't care what CNN or Miss NOW said this time

They might go orbital but I doubt they go for the Gulf of America until they prove the heat shield survives that reentry profile
