Ultimate Starship History ; From Hop to Orbit

How has SpaceX's Starship gone from a flying water tower in 2019 to the largest, most powerful rocket ever in just 5 years?

Here is a fun, somewhat stylized animation featuring the most important and spectacular tests SpaceX has conducted over the last 5 years.

Form Starhoppper, to the 150m tank hops, to the 10km belly flop tests, to the integrated flight tests, to orbit, and all the guaranteed excitement in between.

Thanks to all the great YouTube channels that spend so much time and effort documenting the Starship program. I could not make an animation like this without you,

And many more over the years.

sn10. The first starship to fly twice.

[AndrewFromMilan]

They are trying to build from scratch the most sci-fi rocket ever made. And we have the honor to witness all of it

[herrjohnssen]

Looking back, it is wild they let 24/7 fly.
Also, very good attention to detail, especially with the rotating grid fins during hot staging

[mikehenning]

Love the detail you out into the stage zero at each point ❤ amazing work thank you for taking the time to put this together

[FlyingPhantom]

Someone needs to make this with the actual footage now

[Moki]

And fantastic work on the animation and models!

[EvanPang-wi]
