01:29Booster after chamber pressure is nominal.

01:48Two plus four and three seconds under the test flight of the inaugural Starsail vehicle.

01:58Tower cleared and a pitch over.

02:00Propulsion reports first stage engines nominal.

02:03What a sight from the grand cameras at starbase.

02:06We're flying at twice the thrust of the Saturn V heading to space.

02:18We're throttled down and throttled back up.

02:23Going through the period of maximum aerodynamic pressure.

02:28As the velocity increases, the density of the atmosphere is decreasing.

02:38Lessening stress on the vehicle.

02:40The call out, max Q now.

02:50Continuing to watch the first stage as we head downrange.

02:53100 seconds into flight.

03:05Our next major activity is going to be set down of the first stage.

03:09The Houston Tracking Station now acquiring the vehicle.

03:13With shutdown, we will get separation of Starship and Super Heavy and ignition of the Starship engines.

03:19When Starship separates, we light up six engines in the staggered sequence.

03:24If all goes well, those six engines will burn for almost six and a half minutes.

03:29On-board view from Starship.

03:31And there's views of the Raptor engines on the second stage as we prepare for stage separation.

03:41Now after stage separation, the first stage will flip and begin a boost back maneuver for landing in the Gulf.

03:47Continuing to fly.

03:59Two minutes, 40 seconds.

04:01Let's get ready for main engine cutoff.

04:04First engine cutoff.

04:08First engine cutoff.

04:22As of right now, we are awaiting stage separation, where Starship should separate from the Super

04:51Heavy booster.

04:54Yeah, Kate, right now it looks like we saw the start of the flip, but obviously we're seeing

05:00from the ground cameras the entire Starship stack continuing to rotate.

05:04We should have had separation by now.

05:06Obviously this does not appear to be a nominal situation.

05:11Yeah, it does appear to be spinning, but I do want to remind everyone that everything

05:16after clearing the tower was icing on the cake, and there as we saw, as we promised, an exciting

05:45one.

05:46So it was an astounding, lovely, and a golden test.
