Elon Musk Reaction after the Success of Starship's Fifth Flight Test #elonmusk

October 13, 2024
Starship's Fifth Flight Test
Starship’s fifth flight test lifted off on October 13, 2024, with our most ambitious test objectives yet as we work to demonstrate techniques fundamental to Starship and Super Heavy’s fully and rapidly reusable design.

And on our first try, Mechazilla caught the booster.

Following a successful liftoff, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and coast, the Super Heavy booster performed its landing burn and was caught by the chopstick arms of the launch and catch tower at Starbase. Thousands of distinct vehicle and pad criteria had to be met prior to the catch attempt, and thanks to the tireless work of SpaceX engineers, we succeeded with catch on our first attempt.

Prior to catch, Starship executed another successful hot-staging separation, igniting its six Raptor engines and completing ascent into outer space. It coasted along its planned trajectory to the other side of the planet before executing a controlled reentry, passing through the phases of peak heating and maximum aerodynamic pressure, before executing a flip, landing burn, and splashdown at its target area in the Indian Ocean. The flight test concluded at splashdown 1 hour, 5 minutes and 40 seconds after launch.

The entire SpaceX team should take pride in the engineering feat they just accomplished. The world witnessed what the future will look like when Starship starts carrying crew and cargo to destinations on Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond.

Congratulations to the SpaceX team for taking this leap in our quest to make life multiplanetary. And thank you to our customers, Cameron County, spaceflight fans, and the wider community for the continued support and encouragement.

He’s sending text to the FAA, “thanks for the delay’s and holdup a** holes, now stay out of my business losers”.

Seeing how the people in the room are just standing around talking to eachother it's obvious this is either well before or after the event making this an incredibly deceptive video.

[wheelmanstan]

freaking crazy how fast it slows down and SOFTLY it's caught, and I'm watching this after seeing a doc about how the space shuttle disintegrated due to a piece of foam insulation.. think about that, folks..that was just 21 years ago

[ElonMuskDailyLife]

NO reaction? He is really that addicted to X?

[LightisLaw]

It's amazing to see how far we have come. One of my first memories was watching The Challenger take off. I don't recall the year but I was a little girl in school. There was a teacher from New Hampshire who was launched into space but never returned physically but her spirit still lives on here. One of my favorite movies is The Boy Who Could Fly. You should watch it.

This landing is dudeification man ❤❤🎉🎉well done elon

[dani.dee]

he was outside with his kid. this is click bait and bs lol

[Veronicat-ofnz]

Now it’s not “if” but “when” Elon gets the Nobel. There has never been such an inventor than himself. First the electric car and now this advancement in space technology.

[Joe-yu]

Looks like he is busy playing Tetris on his smartphone.

[HELLios]

Reported for clickbait channel should get banned.

[PhoneRepairRO]

And where is the reaction?
This video footage with elon is from the second flight!
Click Bait!

[mussie]

Bullshit. What point are you trying to make, just showing him on his phone BEFORE the launch? There are too many channels full of shit like this.

[Rosieplayz]

Seriously, though...that shot of Elon was about 2 minutes after Starship landed - so a good 45 minutes AFTER the catch...lol

[penabatkhemah]

He’s multitasking a test run for his new Tesla phone while running a Starship test. Is he really human? that catch look sharp...

[Rosieplayz]

I'm sure he was just ordering a pizza. These launch & landings sure make you hungry.

[AlexandarSterling]

This is click bait nonsense, showing a mix of clips from different launches. Reported to YT.

[LaissezCompetent]

Clickbait - Congrats on the view. You'll never get another one from me.

[TaylerKnox]

All these melted engines - part of Elon’s rapid relaunch strategy? Like flying one use jet with melted engines?

[michaelspoden]

Notice how he says over to you guys and then they don't actually go over to them when they start talking something just definitely doesn't seem right about this video. And I remember them talking on the screen next to that guy on the left side of the screen

[talkaboutitwithgavix]

What happened to the star ship, did it also come back
