Earth's Atmosphere: It's not possible.
Little Starship flap: No, it's necessary.

[colanitower]

If SpaceX is going to have a museum that flap should be in it

[grandaddennis]

Flap "I'm melting, I'm melting"
Ship "HOLD....HOLD...HOLD"

[arthurau]

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

[desdenova]

"External temperatures are starting to come down..."
The Flap (in John Cena's voice): "ARe YoU SUre aBoUT ThAt?!"

[koobra]

I'm impressed that it maneuvered and "landed" with so much obvious damage to the flap. That's quality engineering

[rocr]

I watched Neil Armstrong take the first walk on the moon... live. This never gets old. Unbelievable. Well done SpaceX team.

[Beyersdoerfer]

I was genuinely half expecting the flap to just straight up fall off, but it held on for dear life lol.

[xrenzo]

I'm depressed and life has been quite hard.
But after watching what this flap went through, I'm now motivated! lol

[tubularap]

It launched on a bed of water, it landed on a bed of water.
Flappy and the camera were an awesome duo.

[jamesruggeri]

The moment when you could clearly see the flap activating intentionally and working: Priceless.

[toluoyeniyi]

The cameraman never dies. The flap survived thanks to the Camera.

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.

[asheiu]

The flap: “I’ll see you in the afterlife…”
Starship 29:”Not today bud”

[brantuga]

That’s insane that you could actually see the starship tip in to the ocean

[lomgshorts]

Watching SpaceX launch the Starship is so cool !! I say again, this NEVER gets old !!!!

[happymealchiz]

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!

[King_Georges_Calcified_Elbow]

Incredible. The next obvious upgrade is a camera wiper

[renesoucy]

Starship landed with its flap still melting… unbelievable! It can save lives alright, very sturdy spacecraft!

I like how they said more than 5 times the speed of sound, It actually re enters the atmosphere at mach 19. 19 times the speed of sound
