That Flap Deserves a Medal.
-
Earth's Atmosphere: It's not possible. Little Starship flap: No, it's necessary.
-
The flap designer needs a raise
-
If SpaceX is going to have a museum that flap should be in it
-
Flap "I'm melting, I'm melting" Ship "HOLD....HOLD...HOLD"
-
I watched Neil Armstrong take the first walk on the moon... live. This never gets old. Unbelievable. Well done SpaceX team.
-
I'm impressed that it maneuvered and "landed" with so much obvious damage to the flap. That's quality engineering
-
A reminder how amazing the Space shuttle was with its heat shield and it took NASA many years to understand a design that would work. Re-entry is brutal and maybe what incredible via Starship and Starlink we get to see what's never been seen before.
-
I'm depressed and life has been quite hard. But after watching what this flap went through, I'm now motivated! lol
-
It launched on a bed of water, it landed on a bed of water. Flappy and the camera were an awesome duo.
-
The concept of public live telemetry is crazy enough, but to also have live camera views with better signal than a good amount of workplace video calls …. Just incredible. What a time to be alive
-
I was genuinely half expecting the flap to just straight up fall off, but it held on for dear life lol.
-
"External temperatures are starting to come down..." The Flap (in John Cena's voice): "ARe YoU SUre aBoUT ThAt?!"
-
Not to open an old wound, but seeing the burn through on that flap shows what would have happened to Columbia during its re-entry into the atmosphere. Amazing that the starship flap held up like it did though.
-
Love how clear of an image we get of the flap at 21:24 as if it was consciously showing us it did in fact survive!
-
Starship landed with its flap still melting… unbelievable! It can save lives alright, very sturdy spacecraft!
-
The cameraman never dies. The flap survived thanks to the Camera.
-
Watching SpaceX launch the Starship is so cool !! I say again, this NEVER gets old !!!!
-
The moment when you could clearly see the flap activating intentionally and working: Priceless.
-
Incredible. The next obvious upgrade is a camera wiper
