"sir, we've already spent 25% of our fuel."
"What is our altitude?"
"40ft, sir."

[MasterSethern]

This Rocket didn't lift itself, it simply pushed the earth away from it. Now that's a powerful Rocket!

[alexxbaudwhyn]

There is no more sound left on Earth.
This rocket used it all up

[AmericanCrusader]

I don’t think people understand. That’s a 40 story building taking off with the power of an unimaginable amount of thrust.

[BoostedMike]

The world's largest excavator, and also the world's largest sand blaster all rolled into one

[andysedgley]

"Damn, she's in neutral, shift her into first my man!"

[bradgrier]

That changes my perspective on my neighbor starting his car in the mornin

[abomabom-wnrb]

Jees the vibrations came straight through the phone till I realized someone was calling lmfao. Seriously those guys what an amazing congregation of brains, Respect....😊

[howdywowey]

Real tribute to the structural integrity of the Starship. Sat there for 4 of 5 seconds on the pad at 80% thrust and it didn't rattle itself to death.

[brucerogers]

That could take care of the fire ants in my yard.

[jkutnink]

30 engines vs one which is the F1 used on the Saturn V. I'm extremely proud to say my family helped conceive, build and implement the engine for the space race.

[lazarus]

"Sir, we've lost 3 engines! Should we abort the launch?"
"Negative Corporal, there's nowhere left to land"

[rogergregory]

It's a wonder it didn't just explode before it cleared the tower from all the shrapnel flying up from the blast

[traviswilliams]

That thing was throwing house size chunks of concrete. Insane

[robindehood]

That launch platform is feeling the same way you chair feels the day after you eat curry.

[PrimeGaming]

Bro the rocket's stuck in neutral ! Put it in gear man ! T_T

[AllergicFungus]

Imagine being a bird near the launch pad just minding your own business, unaware of what catastrophe is coming.

[savageytyt]

50 katlı bir binayı taşıdığınızı düşünün bu nasıl bir güç

[michaelhanson]

The real amazement is how that launchpad was still standing there holding the rocket for that long under all that heat and different forces... Especially when you see what the surrounding area looks like after a launch.

[johnforrester]

Wow! The size of that piece of debris which appears out of the smoke cloud at the top of the booster!!
