Full Replay: Starship SN10 Flight Test, Landing, and Post-Flight BOOM!

SpaceX is set to launch the Starship SN10 prototype to an altitude of approximately 10 kilometers. A launch attempt is possible between 9 am and 6 pm Central time on Wednesday. However, as with testing, there is always a chance that teams could decide to stand down and try again on a different day.

First rocket to fly twice in a span of twenty minutes!

[alflud]

The 1st re-launch of a Starship and in record time!

"Wow, this was a great movie! Let's go home."
"Wait, there is an after credits scene."

[Eck]

Wreckage crew: Great no clean up this time it's intact
SN10: Does flip in celebration
Wreckage crew: ahh sh*t

[michalsetlak]

The SN10 took off twice! Definitely the fastest turnaround time in the industry ;)

I cant thank you guys enough for this great journey from the very beginning to now, thank you guys really.

I had to laugh after the explosion that they added "or not" after Vehicle Safing in the sequence list at 10:40:50...lol

[StormShadow]

No matter how many times I see this, the pure excitement in the commentary gets me every time.
And Im a candidate to go up in it!!

SN10: "I want to go on 10km hop again!"

[Imbeachedwhale]

One thing I noticed in watching the explosion a few times (including from other videos) is the methane header tank came out early. It is clearly burning on the ground before SN10 crashes back down. It’s almost like it was shot out of the gun that SN10 became, suggesting the explosion started in the methane tank.

This suggests two failures:

1. The fire in the skirt area somehow passed up the fuel lines to the methane tank

2. A weld failed, allowing oxygen into the methane tank. Probably the LOX tank, and probably due to the hard landing.

The important thing here is that it actually landed and that so with one engine now they have all the data, the explosion part is just a small problem they can solve easily

Belly flop to tail down at 10:30:25
Rocket gets too excited and gives itself a fireworks display kinda end 😅😂 at 10:39:04

What a day!!! Thanks for the incredible and fun coverage team!

[m.m.bruining]

Awesome footage nasaspaceflight! Good job all.

[ExoEarth]

Best coverage of all them streams! Well done guys. Epic stuff

[antygravity]

thanks guys!!! i'm watching this from New Caledonia ! just love your content !

[mattwalker]

That was awesome. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

SN10 is so close to getting it right. I don't know if still needs to go slower, or if it needs better legs, but this was real close. SpaceX almost has this starship operational. This was a huge step forward. SpaceX is close to making all other earth rockets obsolete.

You guys were just on the BBC News UK!! Headline Unmanned Space Craft Expoldes!! No mention about the success of the flight and landing - typical!!
