00:30we have liftoff go super heavy go starship thanks for all the historic flights

00:44vehicles catching downrange

00:45usuraptor chamber pressure nominal

00:59so at this point we've passed through that period of maximum aerodynamic pressure the next thing we're

01:05looking forward to and then after that we're going to release the clamps that are currently holding

01:11starship who's running cut off ship ignition

01:26stage separation use back burn startup

01:30it's ascent into outer space meanwhile this boost back is happening we're using those 13 engines

01:43so everything well 12 out of the 13 and then we go down to three and then we're going to shut down for

01:48they look like they're close together but there's a good amount of distance between them

01:53and the hot stage full finally that will come down to three and we'll cut all of them off while we're
