SN 8 Starship launch to landing explosion tracked by my software

maybe to show mutual respect to a fellow GLP'er who is top of his game

Cant decide whats the bigger failure, tesla motors or spacex.

i know jealousy when i see it and you sir are jealous af

*Looks over at ISS and sees a crewed SpaceX capsule docked to it*

Sure looks to me like they went to space.

He's a flat earther. That's why he's triggered.

Oh wow low earth orbit.

What an achievement!

Oh wait russians have been doing that more efficiently for 50 years.

Explain to me what launching rockets to high altitude and crashing them accomplishes when the method for going to space was established 50 years ago?

Lol im not triggered.

Just laughing at more elon failures and wastes of money while the elite class steal an election and flaunt their power and corruption.

Yea im jealous.

I wish the government would give me billions of dollars to play with toy rockets.

The booster didn't crash. It landed on the drone ship. I even caught the entry burn myself. SpaceX's method is far more efficient than the old Soyuz.

re tard people are slow
dont expect much of astro

Im sorry, did the op not contain a recent video of a spacex rocket crashing and exploding?

Wow compelling stuff

Theres no landing footage in that video.

That is not the rocket that launched the crew Dragon nor would it ever launch a Dragon capsule. That was a prototype for pathfinding a new way to reuse rockets. It was not expected to work the first time. Starship is intended to be fully reusable, both the first and second stages. Only a Falcon's first stage is reusable. These are new ways to get into orbit.

The first time?

Spacex has crashed multiple times.

No shit. I said I caught the entry burn, not the landing burn. Reading is fundamental. The landing was too far off shore to see that time. I did capture the drone ship landing on an earlier cargo launch to ISS:

The bellyflop and flip landing of Starship had never even been attempted before. This is a new method of recovering a booster, ultimately an upper stage booster.

Fantastic video! I assume that it crashed cause it only had one of the three rocket engines working at landing and came in too fast.

Header tank fuel pressure was too low, starving the engines of fuel during landing. You can see one of them engines flameout and shut down, the other one turns green from being too oxygen rich, burning up the engine.

I bet you thing "You Only Live Twice" was a documentary....

At a time when the US government (NASA) cannot launch a human into space anymore due to our descent into third world Brazil status, a private company has reinvented the wheel with the intent of pushing further beyond where NASA left off. These are all necessary steps along the way, but the technology that they have advanced as far as reusable rockets are concerned, is quite remarkable. THAT is a huge advancement in bringing down costs.

This^

That was awesome, thanks Astro!!!



Back to the drawing board!

No other rocket company or space agency on the face of this planet has done so far what SpaceX has accomplished in such a short time period.

NOT ONE!

It filled my tiny space mouse heart with rocket fuel every time I think about what happens next.

Op is talking about software, moron

You spelled low earth altitude wrong. 300 miles up is certainly NOT “space”!

And No sweetheart. Nobody ever walked on the Moon.

100 km altitude is the internationally accepted definition for the start of "space." And yes, they did.

It is kind of weird only sleeping when I want to and not actually getting hungry
