Full Starship Stack Cryogenic Proof Test | SpaceX Boca Chica

Overnight, SpaceX tested the full Starship stack on the orbital launch mount with liquid nitrogen. This was the first test using the entire vehicle. Meanwhile, an SN8 forward flap was spotted on public display at the Brownsville Airport.

I love how that SN8 flap looks like nothing particularly special if you don't know what it is, but to us tank watchers, it means the world that its up on display.

A living, breathing, rocket system. From scratch in a few years! Just Wow 😮😮😮😮

Thank you very much Nasaspaceflight for all your hard work for bringing Starbase and others in our hands.

[alanc]

Wonderful as always entire NSF team. Even with all the stuff going on with SLS Rollout today you all took the time and energy to make sure we got a daily update video today. You all never stop amazing me with the dedication, determination and enthusiasm you have for all this. Thank you for all that you doing.

The stars, in the time laps night sky, are really awesome. You can actually see, the rotation of the earth or actual time passing by. Thanks for the info, great historical video.

It's still quite amazing noticing the scale of the starship in comparison to the average human. 1 COPV aero cover is big enough to fit a small car. The whole thing is a man-made leviathan.

Very impressive stuff.

Truly grateful for such great Content.
Thanks Mary and Nic and the whole team @NASASpaceflight

[Easedaray]

I knew the SN8 wreckage wasn't all wasted!

[shirleyhenriksen]

Great video Mary. Greeting from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[ameenwaheed]

Can wait to see the static 🔥. That will be epic

[StarshipGamer]

Static Fire Next…
I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT,

[pariscatblue]

I have already forgotten what SN8 did achieve, thanks for reminding!

[lapaleves]

Kinda mvp approach fixing that flap to the pole. Wow such nice building!

[SCRspace]

Thanks for another sunrise. Looks different than yesterday.

The well-lit cryo test looks magical against the dark of night.

I see why that one Booster gridfin is tilted - to allow the QD arm inspection platform to be at the QD plate for checking the connection. That platform is folded out of the way normally.

[stevebaker]

I like how the stars wheel past the stack in the time lapse shots.

[giacomomartelli]

sometimes i rewatch the sn16 launch and seeing that mechazilla was just 3foot high is amazing

[Booster-I]

Here before flight 5. Was on my suggestions to watch. Godspeed B12 and Ship 30. RIP B4
