00:00 [Countdown]
00:07 [Engine noise]
00:23 Thirty seconds into flight, we are feeling the rumble. We are seeing 33 out of 33 Raptor engines ignited on the Super Heavy booster.
00:33 Trajectory looking nominal, systems looking nominal. Just amazing to see all 33 lit up once again.
00:39 [Clapping]
00:44 At this point we've already passed through Max Q, that maximum dynamic pressure.
00:48 Now the next milestone coming up is in less than a minute. At that point ship will, I'm sorry, actually it already has.
00:57 [Clapping]
01:05 As you heard there by the call out and from the crowd behind us.
01:11 [Clapping]
01:14 Oh man, we can see the heating on those flaps as we're starting to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.
01:19 This is where the Earth's atmosphere is doing the work to slow us down.
01:24 Now like we said, this plasma field is, wow, what a view. We hope to maintain these views throughout.
01:32 Starship is so big that we're hoping that the plasma field doesn't entirely blanket the entire vehicle.
01:39 Right now it is not. The Starlinks are still communicating and still capturing the data and the video that we see here.
01:49 I mean, Shiva, this is just absolutely incredible views. We've never seen anything like this before.
01:54 This is the biggest flying object ever in space.
01:57 We lost the data a couple of minutes ago. We haven't heard from the ship up until this point.
02:02 And so the team has made the call that ship has been lost.
02:05 So no splashdown today, but again, just it's incredible to see how much further we got this time around.
