Watch how a SpaceX Starship and its Super Heavy booster launches in slow motion and the flight in real-time. Also the Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly in slow motion.

02:04What a sight when the grand cameras at starbase.
02:07We're flying at twice the thrust of the Saturn V heading to space.
02:19We're throttled down and throttled back up.
02:24We're going through the period of maximum aerodynamic pressure.
02:34As the velocity increases, the density of the atmosphere is decreasing.
02:38Max Q.
02:39Lessening stress on the vehicle.
02:41The call-out, Max Q now.
02:42Continuing to watch the first stage as we head downrange.
03:00100 seconds into flight.
03:02Our next major activity is going to be set down of the first stage.
03:10Houston Tracking Station now acquiring the vehicle.
03:14With set down, we will get separation of Starship and Super Heavy and ignition of the Starship engines.
03:21When Starship separates, we light up six engines in the staggered sequence.
03:25And if all goes well, those six engines will burn for almost six and a half minutes.
03:30Onboard view from Starship.
03:35And there's views of the Raptor engines on the second stage as we prepare for stage separation.
03:42Now, after stage separation, the first stage will flip and begin a boost-back maneuver for landing in the Gulf.
03:47Continuing to fly, two minutes, 40 seconds.
04:02Let's get ready for main engine cutoff.
04:09Beginning to flip for stage separation.
04:11Let's go.
04:11Let's go.
04:12Let's go.
04:12Let's go.
04:41As of right now, we are awaiting stage separation.
04:48Where Starship should separate from the Super Heavy booster.
04:55Yeah, Kate, right now, it looks like we saw the start of the flip.
04:59But obviously, we're seeing from 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.
05:13But I do want to remind everyone that everything after clearing the tower was icing on the cake.
05:21But this is her army's wingosteur said, and how can I go down?
05:30AŠ½ŠøŠ¼ous Apostle agent comes up to the top of the top of the top, and in theŃŃŠ¾Š² ā Miams Boxing Kan.'s
05:31How can I be doing to be a human sound?
05:34I don't think I can go down with the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top, and in the as I gegen the top of the top of the top of the hillį»§ine.
05:34And now, as you saw, as you promised, it's so early to the starship, and now the way, we will be just fine.
