SpaceX's Starship SN10 Successful Landing (After an Aborted Launch)

Watch how SpaceX Starship SN10 successfully landed after launch abort. The spacecraft exploded 10 minutes later due to methane leak. This video does not include explosion footage.

Sorry guys, due to copyright reasons from a fellow youtuber, I had to blur the last part which shows the spacecraft exploding. The explosion wasn't recorded by SpaceX

Elon: Shouldn't it have exploded?
Technicians: oh, sure, sorry...
💥

Turns out being stationary on the pad is the hardest part, lol

Fastest turnaround ever, relaunch after 9 minutes.

It looks warped and leaning after landing. Bright side it landed. Best time to have a failure is during unmanned testing. Figure it out and get it done right. Keep working hard you're doing well. What you're doing isn't easy. If it was we'd all be doing it.

Thanks for the video! No unneeded commentary or cutting in and out to explain. Perfect!

A grim warning to kids never to try lighting their farts.

Starship : explodes
Team : intentional it was
Musk : yea, thats exactly what we do here

One engine appears to be running strangely the whole flight - it has a yellow flame and keeps belching yellow smoke. What are the chances this one was the cause of the later fire?

They've been saying they'll be able to re-launch quickly. This three-second hop proves it. Good job, Spacex!

SN10: Lands successfully*
Elon: *Self destruct button go

Thank you for sharing. I had the opportunity to see a rocket launch in 2018. Memorable experience. I shared a pretty cool montage of the trip to my channel.

Silence is Golden and I am speechless. 💙🙏💪✨

Just make of a rubust landing a smooth landing. It‘s no rocket science any more, just parking with a flamethrower to maneuver the vehicle. I recall Elon had them for sale at 500, - with a sticker: This is not a flamethrower

[zenpro]

more than likely it suffered structural damage causing it to leak from what the announcer mentions "a soft landing" haha yeah right, that sucker bounced...other than that soft landing so to speak and unfortunate explosion...congrats Space X Team

The hardest part is putting it all back

Good work Spacex, to bad after landing problems.

I think it may actually be a fundamental design problem which is causing these rough landings. With a 3 engine arrangement it's impossible to descend with any form of stability which is why when it comes in to land, it drifts and comes down hard on one side. It's not really something that can be solved with something that small but something to keep in mind on larger units.

If the engines were arranged in a line rather than a triangle then you could leave the centre engine active and turn off the left and right. Of course that creates other problems, mostly regarding stability in the Z axis which may cause more problems then it solves.

A potential solution is to either delay the full landing burn or leave it longer to have a more controlled and stabilised landing.

Its like the soldier who survives the war only to be killed at home by some nut job.
