Starship | SN10 | High-Altitude Flight Recap

On March 3, Starship serial number 10 (SN10) completed SpaceX’s third high-altitude flight test of a Starship prototype as it successfully ascended, transitioned propellant, and reoriented itself for reentry and an active aerodynamic controlled descent. SN10’s Raptor engines reignited to perform the vehicle’s landing flip maneuver immediately before successfully touching down on the landing pad.

Test flights such as SN10’s are about improving our understanding and development of a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo on long-duration interplanetary flights, and help humanity return to the Moon, and travel to Mars and beyond.

Better than the wildest sci-fi movies!

I was hoping they'd show the explosion after a brief moment of silence, that would have been hilarious

[zenchanman]

I can't get over how much this seems like a game designers work. That lens flare and transition is game cinematography at its finest

[Codyumm]

What an insane feat, flying and landing a skyscraper.

[Whataboutit]

Oh, I love this so much! This is pure glory! Thank you, SpaceX! You rock!!! 👌

Who's watching before we've colonized Mars?

[thejesuschrist]

What an incredible moment in history, to have witnessed this, Glorious!

They should have added the Spongebob “A few moments later” then show the explosion

[transend.]

I mean to be fair it only says “flight recap” not “flight recap and boom boom”

[jarredstill]

Can't wait for "how not to land an interplanetary class rocket"

[DavidHernandez-kcel]

FUN FACT: All the starship sounds we hear come from a microphone in the payload bay!

[bigbadword]

That brief moment when the glare of the rocket shined directly into the camera is unbelievably epic.

[OfentseMwaseFilms]

It doesn't look real! Just Incredible Space X

[TfGamess]

Oh my god, I can't wait to see this fly on daily basis.

[enricomontanari]

I'm just waiting for the "How not to land a Starship" video after this test campaign.

[tinman]

It looks so unreal. Something out of a sci-fi movie. This is insane that this is real life.

[charlie.cx]

still can’t get over the fact this is gonna be bigger than the Saturn V when fully stacked, absolute beast of a rocket

[TheWorldsGaming]

I’m glad to be alive in an era where space is become something everyone can connect with again.
This was great to see with my family!
Thanks for sharing this
💚

To see SN10 rapidly maneuver under the stresses and forces involved is amazing. Congrats, SpaceX team!
