Starship Flight 5

[earnest abyss]

from NSF

[raw iris]

is it because of the methane?

[outer bobcat]

yes

and the fact its 13 engines

oooooh my god

[sage surge]

When is reentry supposed to start again?

[outer bobcat]

those replays

[worthy rock]

the giant fucking plume of fire

[raw iris]

so its like my fart

[earnest abyss]

The sonic booms were so powerful you couldn't see the landing on some cameras

[rain stratus]

like 15 mins now

[zealous lotus]

yea the excess methane burns off and it looks so sketch

[raw iris]

its sketchy too

[rain stratus]

to+50 right?

[flat drum]

Defo love taps the tower

[zealous lotus]

☝️🤓 uhm ackchually a fart's composition is majorly not methane

[vapid sable]

It feels fake

[outer bobcat]

OH MY GOD U CAN SEE THE SONIC BOOM WAVE GO ACROSS THE CLOUDS ON ONE OF THE NSF REPLAYS

[vapid sable]

It’s real

But it feels fake

[worthy rock]

WHAR

[earnest abyss]

YOU CAN SEE THE SONIC BOOMS MOVING THE LAUNCH SMOKE

[sage surge]

omg SpaceX invaded Курск

[vapid sable]

@small roost @pastel leaf what did you think?

[outer bobcat]

oaoaoaoaooa

[twin magnet]

ey it hasn't fallen down yet!

[raw iris]

sooner or later one of the boosters will crash straight into the tower

[iron pelican]

(if you answer the last 3 you are delusional but i also would've told you you were delusional for thinking it'd work first try so)

[tawdry thistle]

that is a beautiful panning shot

holy hell

[wraith glacier]

okay val are you pulling out the fart sniffer 3000?

[twin magnet]

who is Alexy?

starting to lose altitude now

wait is that the moon?

[worthy rock]

uh

looks like it

[verbal fern]

MOON

[outer bobcat]

yes

[twin magnet]

also that now is Africa

[verbal fern]

ITS GOING RIGHT FOR IT

[twin magnet]

let's see how fast it flies over Africa

[outer bobcat]

for the love of all thats holy keep B12

[unkempt coyote]

OH YEAH

MOON

[raw iris]

thats no moon

[worthy rock]

why is it cruising sideways

[outer pagoda]

3,000,000

[unkempt coyote]

3MIL!!

[twin magnet]

it's twitter views
this is fake AF

someone half scrolls by it and it's a +1

[unkempt coyote]

oh

[outer pagoda]

You told me already

[twin magnet]

so it basically means 3 million people have used Twitter these past few minutes

[outer bobcat]

still this would have 1 mil on yt probably

[tawdry thistle]

cant wait until people use this for political purposes

[twin magnet]

considering how much this was probably pushed and promo'ed

[worthy rock]

flaps moving

[zealous lotus]

no its just science

[iron pelican]

hope we get good ship landing views this time

[tawdry thistle]

i know it will happen

[vapid sable]

Flaps moving

[warped plaza]

The NSF stream had 100,000 concurrently

[worthy rock]

is it rotating into the correct position now?

[frosty timber]

Flaps are moving into position for entry

[worthy rock]

because it was cruising sideways

[verbal fern]

yes

[outer bobcat]

was at like 170k at peak i think

[raw iris]

oh so thats why its wet

[earnest abyss]

still flammable

[scenic delta]

its nightime where it will splashdown, surely views wont be clear

[wraith glacier]

why do you have this chart ready to go😭😭😭

[lethal frost]

Thought it was late evening?

[twin magnet]

anyone can see specific landmarks off Africa?

[zealous lotus]

no i just used google search

[wraith glacier]

are you a smart fella or a fart smella 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[worthy rock]

gogle

[verbal fern]

land

[raw iris]

can we start attaching rs 25

[lethal frost]

How long to reentry?

[zealous lotus]

that's for you to decide

[worthy rock]

can you honestly shut up

[twin magnet]

well question is if 1. they have some boat with cameras around and 2. can they have some form of uplink for how long?

[earnest abyss]

We're not too far from re-entry guys!!

[raw iris]

no

[earnest abyss]

under 170KM

[twin magnet]

those clouds are sick tho

[glad vortex]

Did Ship 30 lost a few tiles

[worthy rock]

oh ok

[earnest abyss]

the ship needs to spin a bit...

[lethal frost]

Ift 3 part 2

[wraith glacier]

it has time lol

[iron pelican]

also thats a LOT of missing tiles?!

[outer bobcat]

https://fxtwitter.com/bennbuilds/status/1845443025121772010?t=zERm24H8jwVnxoquE8lqwA&s=33

[twin magnet]

re-entry proper starts probably after we passed Madagascar

[earnest abyss]

Remember there were a few they deliberately didn't put on, wasn't in on that side?

[fringe nacelle]

Damn yeah alot of missing ones

[verbal fern]

BIRD WATCH OUT

[raw iris]

ohh no the bird has earpods on

[twin magnet]

at least it isn't spinning out of control like flight 3 was

The guy in this video sounds like that one voice cracky guy from monsters inc 💀

[raw iris]

what's with the helicopter?

[vapid sable]

OH MY GOD

[wraith glacier]

oh no

[twin magnet]

it seems that they have spun around and course corrected a bit already

[frosty timber]

Luckily there's a new secondary layer

[outer bobcat]

roadblock is going back to the closer one

[fringe nacelle]

When's the ship coming down

[outer bobcat]

soon

[wraith glacier]

dang those engines are burning ORANGE

[worthy rock]

the guy in the video sounds like the one who is first to die in a horror movie

[outer bobcat]

ship in position i think

and commentary is back

[verbal fern]

yeah looks like it

[twin magnet]

webcast back

[fleet zinc]

what time

[earnest abyss]

oh hey it spun around..... 145km

[iron pelican]

commentary back

[verbal fern]

soon

[worthy rock]

hawk 1: boo
hawk 2: ahh

[main patrol]

stream broke

[verbal fern]

stream lag

[twin magnet]

stream inmediatly starts buffering

[wild magnet]

those are the aluminum test tiles they mentioned

[worthy rock]

what happened to the stream

[outer bobcat]

48 mins till splashdown

[wild magnet]

the question mark is just a dent though

[warped plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/nba-gif-15687325833433865178

[frosty timber]

[iron pelican]

pretty clouds

[verbal fern]

nice clouds

[twin magnet]

now we're past Africa

[wraith glacier]

flight 6 next week

[outer bobcat]

they just said 48?

well like 1 minute ago

[verbal fern]

flight 6 yesterday

[twin magnet]

and ship is fully oriented for entry I think now

[worthy rock]

this shit is way too funny lmao

[iron pelican]

that feels like a lot given they're actively over the indian ocean?

[outer bobcat]

yeah idk

[frosty timber]

Timeline says 1 hour 5 minutes, which is also what it was for Flight 4

[outer bobcat]

maybe they misspoke

[frosty timber]

So they probably misspoke

@ErcXspace We’re going to try to catch the Super Heavy Booster with the launch tower arm, using the grid fins to take the load

Twitter · Dec 30, 2020, 5:01 PM

[earnest abyss]

wait what?

It takes that long?

[outer bobcat]

no no

its sooner

[vapid sable]

Think they misspoke, they probably meant t+48

[worthy rock]

are they stupid

[verbal fern]

[twin magnet]

wonder if NASA is considering throwing Starlink on Orion

[earnest abyss]

I thought it was a little over T+1hr when they land

[outer bobcat]

wont be splashing down in 6 minutes

[iron pelican]

almost true!

[frosty timber]

That's correct

[outer bobcat]

yeah around t+1hr

[earnest abyss]

so like around 20 mins to splashdown

[twin magnet]

oh there's an island there

wait is that Madagascar

[frosty timber]

Yup

[frosty timber]

Yes

[vapid sable]

MORE FLAP CAMS

[twin magnet]

that is Madagascar I think

[raw iris]

did they reinforce the flaps?

[iron pelican]

ew land

[worthy rock]

should be seeing plasma start to form soon

[twin magnet]

WHERE ARE THE PENGUINS

[raw iris]

innit?

[twin magnet]

it's insane to see the shaddows of the clouds on the sea

[vapid sable]

Those tiles are my main concern

[flat drum]

What are the goals for starship is it probably landing attempt today or is it soft crash into the deep blue?

[worthy rock]

18k is a lot

[outer bobcat]

flip and burn

[earnest abyss]

110KM

[outer bobcat]

then soft splashdown

[wraith glacier]

flip n burn

[raw iris]

that did not stop the landing last time

[flat drum]

Sweet

[idle badger]

there r 6 test tiles w/ metal over them

[twin magnet]

still think the flap hinges are the biggest issue
because you automatically get gaps into quite delicate areas for the heat to get into

[worthy rock]

same position as flight 4, except hopefully in less pieces

[twin magnet]

like we saw on F4

[wheat kayak]

strange that the hydrogen doesn't immediately react with something. but I can see why the machines in The Matrix were farming us

[idle badger]

lmfao

[tranquil ocean]

they wont do it of course this time, but elon is elon. next time he would say we will catch just the booster and catch them both

[iron pelican]

yeah thats what i was questioning, but top 2 are definitely just gone

[idle badger]

memable

[vapid sable]

Plasma soon

[outer bobcat]

interesting, heat shield mass is 10.5t

[earnest abyss]

105KM, we're getting close!!!! All eyes on your screens!

[worthy rock]

plasma

I can see plasma

[verbal fern]

You can now see plasma

[twin magnet]

and passing through 100km, first plasma visible

[outer bobcat]

there we go

slight glow

[main patrol]

hoping for no lens cracks

[iron pelican]

plasma!

[earnest abyss]

PLASMA1

[twin magnet]

well it's time for your second bucket of popcorn

[iron pelican]

🤞 hoping for good views

[vapid sable]

OOOH

[outer bobcat]

[worthy rock]

KARMAN LINE PASSED

[wraith glacier]

[vapid sable]

GOING

[surreal current]

plasma

[earnest abyss]

THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PINK

[flat drum]

Think they’ll go orbital for flight 6?

[dense pagoda]

My honest reaction:

[verbal fern]

liar

flight 3

[twin magnet]

buffering

[outer bobcat]

lol

[earnest abyss]

I doubt it, they can do flight 6 with the same flight plan

WAIT!!! THEY DON'T NEED A MISHAP

[worthy rock]

flight 3 was the SN11 of the full stack flights

nobody gives a signle fuck about it

[outer bobcat]

real

[wraith glacier]

nah flight 2

[earnest abyss]

Even if the ship doesn't go right, didn't the new license say they don't need a mishap if they lose it or if it doesn't go perfectly to plan?

[twin magnet]

wait what, it was the first re-entry

[verbal fern]

nah i liked flight 3

flight 2 sucked

[outer bobcat]

i liked flight 2

[rain stratus]

don;t count your eggs before they hatch

[frosty timber]

Depends what causes it

[tawny prairie]

Flight 2 had hotstage

[zealous lotus]

wait so are they using hot gas thrusters

[worthy rock]

honestly flight 2 and 3 were kinda glogged but flight 4, 1 and 5 are where it's at

[earnest abyss]

And they can do flight 6 with the current launch license...

[twin magnet]

all the flights took steps forward

[worthy rock]

85km

[flat drum]

Hoppy was my favourite flight. That was awesome.

[worthy rock]

flaps have control

[wraith glacier]

cold iirc

[twin magnet]

that glow

is so cool

[zealous lotus]

flight 1 was peak

[earnest abyss]

drag!

[zealous lotus]

cold n2 right?

[worthy rock]

[frosty timber]

Looks like candy

[wraith glacier]

Don’t give Elon any ideas

[worthy rock]

my fav flight was SN9 bc it was the very first starship flight I saw live

[outer bobcat]

SN10

easily

the views and the first one to land

also SN8 was beautiful

[tawdry thistle]

which hop was it where fog made it impossible to see literally anything

[earnest abyss]

oh

[verbal fern]

shits burning off

[vapid sable]

So pretty

[worthy rock]

approaching peak heating

[outer bobcat]

almost peakl

[earnest abyss]

I'm seeing green

[wraith glacier]

SN8 had the VIBES and a better launch time

[earnest abyss]

things are falling off.....

[outer bobcat]

can we see the forward flaps

[worthy rock]

on cue

[main patrol]

its disintegrating again 🥰

[earnest abyss]

yeah I want that camera we had during coast

[flat drum]

We gonna get a boom boom I think.

Let it cook

[twin magnet]

something just flew off

[frosty timber]

Currently undergoing peak heating

[earnest abyss]

huh?

[worthy rock]

seems just ice

[lunar fulcrum]

Please don’t lose it🙏🙏

[wraith glacier]

doesn’t show on mobile

[main patrol]

peak heatings means the temperature is rising at the highest rate, right?

[twin magnet]

[iron pelican]

been happening for a while even in coast

is this ship that have the flap moved?

[unkempt coyote]

And did someone took a shot of the blue flame?

[twin magnet]

those trails are so cool

[unkempt coyote]

IKR

[flat drum]

Don’t tell Elon that either he’ll decide he needs to change the laws of thermodynamics to make it not those colours.

[earnest abyss]

oooo that's niceee

[worthy rock]

you said either then didn't give a second option

[main patrol]

black and white reentry

[twin magnet]

when the trails aren't there it almost looks like it isn't moving now

[worthy rock]

already looking wayyyyy better than last time

[earnest abyss]

the low latency stream is higher latency than NSF's re-stream 🤣

[flat drum]

My earlier comment about not telling Elon about it looking like candy was the either option.

[verbal fern]

no?

[twin magnet]

heli?

[worthy rock]

pretty colours

[twin magnet]

[outer bobcat]

you can see the metal change colours as its heated

[vapid sable]

OH

[vapid sable]

Gorgeous

[zealous lotus]

shhh

[verbal fern]

finely aged flap

[twin magnet]

the reflection of the glow into the metal of Starship is cool

[flat drum]

Stainless steal tends to do this when hot

[worthy rock]

just god damn

[verbal fern]

get outta here

[vapid sable]

I’ve got my setup ready

[worthy rock]

halfway through peak heating

[outer bobcat]

good traj

[twin magnet]

tbf it's the final bits of peak heating

that are the real concern

[outer bobcat]

yeah

[verbal fern]

flap cam

[worthy rock]

looks way healthier than last time

[iron pelican]

preeetttyyy

[outer bobcat]

so far

it looked similar last time

[twin magnet]

Flap still looks happy

[vapid sable]

After flap looks a little sad but we’ll see

[twin magnet]

the gas thruster reflections into the flap are so cool

engine chill

[earnest abyss]

engine chill nice

SO PRETTY

[outer bobcat]

I can see debris coming off

[earnest abyss]

red tiles ooo

[worthy rock]

uh oh

[main patrol]

show forward flap ffs

[outer bobcat]

10 mins till flip n burn

i fear the forward flap might be similar to last time

[twin magnet]

about 2 more minutes of peak heating

[outer bobcat]

60km

[twin magnet]

there's sparks now

[earnest abyss]

it's gettin hot

lotta sparks

remember they have the ablator

[lunar fulcrum]

Ift-5 is gonna be epic ngl

[raw iris]

like the last time

[vapid sable]

Aft are good but front is not

[outer bobcat]

could hold tbf

[sonic forum]

this is infinitely better than F4 no?

[outer bobcat]

its gonna live

[vapid sable]

Uhhh are those engines doing alright

[verbal fern]

oh yeah

[iron pelican]

eventually™️

[outer bobcat]

not infinitely but yes better (in terms of re entry ofc)

[twin magnet]

look how dark it is now

[earnest abyss]

landing is supposed to be 1:05:34

[raw iris]

yeah, camera's still fine

[vapid sable]

Not anytime soon hopefully 💀

why are they applauding

[verbal fern]

it prob looked like this

[strange vigil]

chat is this real

[tawdry thistle]

yeah it's definitely survived

[outer bobcat]

it made it

[earnest abyss]

that's a lot less burn-through than last time!

[vapid sable]

GOING

[tiny yew]

It survived!!!

[raw iris]

ohhh it gonna land

[verbal fern]

it made it idiot

starship night launch when

[outer bobcat]

they should add a little light for these

[verbal fern]

they should put floodlights on it

[twin magnet]

it should transition into full bellyflop

[outer bobcat]

pop a flashlight on

they didn't say that there was a buoy that was waiting for the landing target

[outer bobcat]

but man

Made it home just in time to watch the ship splashdown on my computer

[outer bobcat]

[low phoenix]

wonder ifthey got a 360 cam for the buoy

[wraith glacier]

holy fuck

[verbal fern]

anyway

imma watch family guy and go over the footage now

[raw iris]

family guy funnies?

[wraith glacier]

i’m surprised there was enough fuel left to energetically disassemble like that

[vapid sable]

New Shepard time

[verbal fern]

nah

[frosty timber]

Mostly the gas

[lethal frost]

I reckon FTS

[frosty timber]

That's used for pressurization

Because it still holds pressure at that point

[sage surge]

Finally now the NS crew can get back to doing the launch

[strange vigil]

wtf is this

24 hours ago

[unkempt coyote]

LMAO

[raw iris]

man two precise landings

[low phoenix]

bruh lmfao

[wraith glacier]

nah, what’s the point in activating it…?

[verbal fern]

they pdate them

[low phoenix]

mfs really prepared an article

[lethal frost]

Prevent other countries recovering

[iron pelican]

update thread but also they totally did this yesteday and BBC just got an early scoop

[earnest abyss]

so they don't sink a pressurised tank of methane

I think I'm gonna buy this.

[lunar fulcrum]

Mechazilla Jackson🔥🔥🔥🔥

[vapid sable]

so how will the landing be marked for the ship on nxf

[low phoenix]

they already got products

lol

[vapid sable]

should be success

[sage surge]

the Australians scrambling to snatch the ship out of the water:

[scenic delta]

they will recover some parts before it sinks?

[vapid sable]

no

[iron pelican]

nope

[frosty timber]

It is

[tawdry thistle]

i too love going out of my way to get scrap on the ocean

[iron pelican]

they said on stream they weren't, and also that area of the Indian ocean is way too deep to be grabbing stuff

[scenic delta]

but they did land starship with accuracy right?

[low phoenix]

cuh

[tawdry thistle]

i still do not get why they had to add this gag in

funny, but why

[zealous lotus]

the buoy was there so yes

[scenic delta]

waiting for someone to comment it was a 1 cm +- accuracy

[lunar fulcrum]

Idc atp I love it

[iron pelican]

so much so that it was a few feet away from the buoy they put a camera on

[unkempt sun]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

[iron pelican]

per the stream doesn't sound like it was nominal

[unkempt sun]

cinema

[zealous lotus]

i think you mean 0.3 in

[sage surge]

I mean people illegally salvage scrap from warship wrecks that are designated war graves so it's not that farfetched

[iron pelican]

but it was on target

[iron pelican]

yeah but those are in much shallower water

[raw iris]

What country is the closest to the landing area?

[iron pelican]

australia

[wraith glacier]

i guess? but the boom was gonna happen anyway

[sage surge]

How deep is the ocean where the ship landed

[iron pelican]

and if i'm understanding correctly the buoy to catch the landing footage was australian
