Did anyone see that car getting flack? Looks like it took a tank javelin round.
Just make the launch tower 3 times taller… then the flames won't be hitting anything
So many points of failure when using many smaller engines. NASA is the goat and spacex is playing in the sand.
IS SPACEXSTARSHIP IS INSURED
TAKE HELP OF RUSSIA SCIENTIST. OR NEXT SPACESHIP WILL MEET SAME FATE
CHANG NAME TO TESLA SPACE SHIP
Why not titanium rather than steel?
The fact that the ship survived the tumble shows it could stand to lose some weight
The flight termination system activated way before it actually broke up.
Too many engines. Rocket engines aren't the most reliable form of propulsion, and packing heaps of them into one launch system just magnifies the probability of failure. No rocket scientist in his or her right mind would take this approach, unless there were just a heap of engines left over from other things laying around. Oh, wait!…
The orbital launch mount was too low for the 18 million pounds of thrust destroyed flooring creating debris flying anywhere probably hitting one of rocket engine and deflector for the thrust
There is more than 11 engines, how come each is 9% = 1/11th?
It's amazing the amount of power were talking about here. All in all that pad took it like a champ
<3 In Elon we trust
Looks like we'll need to build a launch pad out of megalith granite slabs like Balbek
Musk says nothing went wrong
3:40 Not 9, but ~3%
5:19 it looks like this is the shot right after B7 exploded with its remains still attached to S24.
Has anybody considered tungsten plate over the special concrete?
With 33 engines wouldn't each one be about 3% of the total thrust not 9%? Or do they vary the thrust/fuel flow rate for each one?
Very possible that flying debris from the launch pad is what damaged the engines and gimble hydraulics. So the rocket performed perfectly it's the launch pad that needs redesign.
My nephew is a industrial engineer at 30 yrs old and can’t even drive a car and wouldn’t know a spanner from a screwdriver
maglev launch system in the mountains… There I said it. Just getting the rocket going 100mph would save so much energy and damage would be no issue anymore
Serious question, why can’t they just launch it in the water? Instead of a pad, construct a pier that leads just a little bit ways into deep enough water? Am I oversimplifying it?
Not gonna lie tho the raw power of that vessel is dope
Good analysis! There is an old saying, maybe it's coined by space rocket designers: "back to the drawing board". Fortunately, most things space related have many "drawings" already done that can be adapted, like the flame diverters and water dousing systems that could help here. Also, the Russian N-1 demonstrated the difficulty in getting so many small engines to work at once. The Star ship has a similar problem; but maybe they were only damaged, and that's all, by the lift off. The spectacular success of the Saturn V may have been due to the low number of (5) cluster engines but with a huge size of each one. Somewhere a solution to Space X's problems lies either with the basic design of the ship or the launch pad or both together.
Yes, it was a huge rocket, but it does not work as well as the Saturn V did many times, the record holder for most successful manned, deep space, rocket in history, a legend in its own time, and continues to be so. So, to keep touting the "size and power" of a launch failure is a little ridiculous!! Why the rush to "outdo" the impossible record of that pioneering moon rocket, of over a half century ago, is not understood well. I know lifting power is important, but a few ships that are reliable to launch into orbit, sharing the load, will also get a job done; and assemble a ship to go to the moon or to Mars. Since it's likely that the crewed ship will be a nuke anyway, nothing that could ever lift off, but could get us there quickly, which is very important for crew health.
No doubt they will fix this, but there will be many other sets back, I predict, if they don't try to keep the "eye on the prize" and "keep the pointy end up and the flaming end down" on their future test flights!! ;D LOL
According to common sense skeptic, who analyzed the footage of launch from 3 different angles, it wasn't just 8 engines which stopped working, but closer to 10-11.
Seriously, find someone to do the talking for you. You sound like a 14 year old kid lecturing his parents. It was not "destroyed". It was deconstructed into smaller parts that would do no damage on falling out of the sky. Cant sign on sadly.
The whole SpaceX thing is a sham a scam all this nonsense has to stop you're hiding God Flat Earth and ruining our time here by interrupting our Communications with Lord God in heaven science has taken over the church
A "Launch Tube" would solve many of the problems.
This flight was booster's first and it worked getting off launch pad and clearing the tower ! And no RUD ! ! ! In my book that's three home runs
If left up to nasa , this project would have happened 40 years from now and 400 billion dollars later
What went wrong, hmmmm ,probably Elon acting like an engineer.
Abolish the FAA
Senator Warren/Karen and her Pals will use the FFA against Elon just like they use the FBI /DOJ to try to destroy Trump
Space X is the most important thing in existence !!! Their advancement in technology is phenomenal !!! I have great faith in their success !!! 🤔😅🖖🖖🖖
Relativity did reach the Karman Line (space) but did not reach orbital velocity.
They will have learned so much from this test. A wealth of knowledge came their way.
he did it for the memes, The launch had to be on 4/20
Why not start the liftoff say at the top of the current launch tower? Its not beyond possible to raise the vehicle say 200 feet before take off. They could do it before it's fueled up, that's less height they have to travel, it wouldn't put nearly as much energy into the pad and have a way less likely hood of anything hitting the vessel. I would love anyone to explain why this isn't possible.
Saving on the proper launch pad bit their asses badly and I'm sure there will NOT be any more launches in 1-2-3 years, if not more or ever from this particular pad!
7:31 look at the car on the left side
The launch vehicle has too many engines. Use less in number and lighten the payload. Therefore less damage to the pad. Yes improve the pad design as well. Did you see that vehicle inundated by chunks of concrete and the sound boom wow. Reminded me of the Nuclear Tests back in the old days. I wonder if that vehicles insurance company paid off for the damage.
Most powerful rocket ever? If so, then not having flame diverts or water suppression was a real stupid decision. Let me guess the pressure to launch without adequately designed launch pad protection was Elon's idea. This is why you don't let a capitalist make engineering decisions. They will always put profits ahead of lives.
Not 5 it will be 6 engine into the thumbnail
Kind of brings to perspective the sheer power of the rocket.
FTS was activated 30-40 seconds before the Starship exploded. You can see the LOX and CH4 venting for quite some time before the loss of pressure was enough to result in the full failure of the vehicle.
Why not start horizontal n go vertical at speed later
Honestly, I'd decouple the starship before it got that bad and just tried to get there anyway. Why not. I know it wouldn't have made it. But still would have been fun. Maybe they could have landed the starship atleast and saved that part.
very genious to place fuel tanks co close 🤣🤣🤣
