On March 14, 2024, Starship successfully lifted off at 8:25 a.m. CT from Starbase in Texas and went on to accomplish several major milestones and firsts.
Starship's six second stage Raptor engines all started successfully and powered the vehicle to its expected orbit, becoming the first Starship to complete its full-duration ascent burn. Starship went on to experience its first ever entry from space, providing valuable data on heating and vehicle control during hypersonic reentry. Live views of entry were made possible by Starlink terminals operating on Starship.
This rapid iterative development approach has been the basis for all of SpaceX’s major innovative advancements, including Falcon, Dragon, and Starlink. Recursive improvement is essential as we work to build a fully reusable transportation system capable of carrying both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, help humanity return to the Moon, and ultimately travel to Mars and beyond.
I’m glad someone remembered the KZhead accounts password
Kkkkkkk
😂
You noticed that, too? 😂 Why did I have to watch their last test flight on NASA? 🤣💀
@@AllFather-TheStoicGodbrother what the hell are you talking about nasa did NOT stream that
I know, right? I missed this because they only seem to stream on X now.
Our generation finally has an Apollo to be inspired by! Go SpaceX!
Hi Scar!!!! Absolutely love hermitcraft and didn't expect to see you in spacex comments haha
Delusional.
no way goodtimeswithscar from hermitcraft
@@oBCHANoYou’re delusional, that’s what
Great to see some Hermitcraft creators just as excited as i am for Spacetravel and the future of mankind in space.
The best re-entry footage ever recorded by humans... incredible stuff!
💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
the ONLY reentry footage recorded by humans(I think, I haven't seen any), before this it was impossible to get live feed from the spacecraft while reentering because of the plasma cut off. With starship they had mounted starlink antennas at the top, it is four black covers on the nosecone if you look closely
Begitu pula dengan pendapat saya sangat menakjubkan
idk, I've seen some solid re-entry footage on PH
In fact was the worst reentry recorded, tumbling down and burned before "entry" .
Whoever did this edit, massive hats off to you. Done right.
Nothing beats a static camera 3-5km from launch with no edits. It’s the biggest man made flying object, it doesn’t need music and over editing
@@sighfly2928 still cooler with edits xd
@sighfly2928 you could probably easily find the unabridged video, right? Some people don't have the 12 minutes to spare.
@@sighfly2928 nah this edits cooler. sorry you dont like edits, watch the live stream or everyday astronauts vid.
any idea what the title of the background song is?
Please, come back with the live flights on KZhead too. Thank you.
Musk himself mandated X only, so what are they going to do lol.
They wont.
They will not. But you can count on Everyday Astronaut for coverage.
Check out NASASpaceflights KZhead Channels for majority of SpaceX launchs
Yes!!!
I still can’t fathom how beautiful they make their shots look of the starship. It looks unreal.
Or it was rendered in Unreal🤔👀 Jk lol. This is too real looking
If it was rendered the starship would not have been tumbling. They would have rendered it as it was intended to fly. The tumbling and the inability to stop it effectively was the initial reason it failed on re-entry. If you argue otherwise, how will you explain this when re-entry is successful on IFT4. And before the end of the year, its return to Starbase Texas upon re-entry.
One of the coolest videos on KZhead to date... Also, whomever edited this needs a bonus, the comms on the break and the drop after "Vehicle is supersonic" at 1:05 - perfection!
Same in ITF2 clip. "booster engine cut-off" almost gives me an erection
That drone shot from above never gets old
youre right even the shockwaves on the ground are visible
what i love the most is the sea of clouds above the ground during fueling, on IFT 2 it was soooooooo good!
Starship rising through the layer of clouds and the booster dropping back down to earth was a beautiful moment. But nothing comes close to the re-entry footage. Watching that live, I still remember how speechless that moment left me. Truly one for the history books! Can't wait for IFT-4
I was at school watching it, and I still remember my exact feeling when the plasma started forming - completely dumbstruck!!
I still can't believe it's real - it actually exists. I remember watching the first CGI animations of BFR, I felt awe, but I had this doubt that such a huge rocket could ever be built by a private company. Yet here it is, progressing further with each launch. One day people will walk on Mars.
Getting to see the reentry plasma like that was incredible. To my knowledge this is the first time footage like this was actually captured.
There is a video of a F9 fairing half during re-entry. You can see the plasma on that video too. But this look so much better imo
Also, everyone seems to be forgetting Artemis I re-entry footage.
@@NominalOrbitArtemis re entry footage wasn't live streamed and it also doesn't show the plasma interacting with the heat shield
The song is Reload by Nyime for anyone wondering. They used an instrumental version here without the vocals, if anybody knows where this version can be found let me know!
they have even an instrumental one up! kzhead.info/sun/g6dpm72ln5irfqs/bejne.html
@bharddrive That's so cool
@bharddrive Thanks!
@bharddrive How did you discover that they used your track? Must have been an epic moment if you started watching this for the first time without knowing!
@bharddrive great job mate! Too bad Shazam didn't recognise to, but shoutout to Toni!
That plasma blanket was amazing to see live-streamed. Absolutely stunning.
I get goosebumps just thinking about it. The plasma was so mesmerizing!
It’s a shame the heat tiles weren’t facing it eh? 🤣 The heat tile design which is on license from NASA… so we know they work (when used correctly).
Can't wait to see their next failed mission
@@jaydonbrown617you clearly don't know anything about engineering and rocketry for sure
@@symply_ajay tell us your qualifications then?
PLEASE resume the youtube livestreams for 4th flight onwards!
Dear Musk, Please stop forcing X on us. I actually still like the SpaceX Elon. All other Musk projects are becoming garbage.
@@chefnyc pretty sure he doesn't care about you. Just leave.
@@chefnyc he owes you nothing man (woman?). It's his platform, his money, and he'll do whatever he sees fit with those. Dear man/woman, You're not being compelled to use X, you reserve the right to opt out at any time. There are other platforms, please use those instead 😂
@@okirooju3787 it was really funny back before elon owned X, all the political dogmatists were like “it’s a private platform bro the owner can do as much censorship as they like!” Then the script flipped and suddenly they didn’t like that anymore.
@okirooju3787 What a little suckup you are, you're the type to defend them if they started murdering kids
Seeing those incredibly powerful sound waves at 0:41 ripple the air is insane.
This flight has generated some of the best spaceflight footage ever! It was incredible to watch it live on stream. I'm looking forward to the next one!
and we don't have to wait 1+ year for the next one. Exciting times ahead :).
Where was the live stream? I never found it 😢
@@sweetbon76 just subscribe to their official channel, spaceX or even better "Everyday astronauts" channel, so that u won't Miss the live. You can watch it later even if you missed it
@@sweetbon76 it`s on x
One thing i find amusing is seeing the incredible HD footage SpaceX is showing from space where you can see every ripple in the clouds.... yet goverment's worldwide are still filming UFO's with camera's almost half a century old.
Imagine when we first hear: "The Starship has landed on Mars
I’m got chills.
still not a viable place to live lmao
I'll be sitting there waiting for the Seat Belt sign to turn off!!!
@@Deadsphere Well not with that attitude LMAO.
@@Deadspherewe can live there
Well Done Sapce X. Can't wait for Flight 4!
I remember seeing all the comments on instagram reels roasting spaceX just cause their early testing with SNL and starship etc. Its so amazing seeing these videos with such a massive improvement in no time at all. It really amazes me what this private company is able to do. All these bright minds working on such an incredible project. Its really inspiring. Makes me want to study mechatronics or something and work with something related to space :). Awesome 🔥
I miss SpaceX on KZhead 😢. Welcome back
They're not back. They always upload the flight test recap videos to KZhead.
They have been on YT for a long time now. wdym
@@RocketPal They used to stream all their launches on KZhead, but since Elon bought twitter they only stream there.
hack độ mixi?
In my personal opinion, one of the greatest flights from SpaceX to date! The plasma bit specifically. Unbelievable shots. Watching it live while at work, it will forever be burned into my memory.
The re-entry footage was truly insane.
I was in class, my professor thought I was tweaking when my jaw straight up dropped on reentry
One of???? Heck no...the best to date.
Was in Band class. Director saw me tweaking while playing snare drum during booster landing "burn"
It was unreal when viewing live! Not knowing what was going to happen, I almost passed out with joy watching the reentry.
Amazing footage. Still can't believe we got to see that re-entry live.
Been waiting for a upbeat recap vid! Thanks SpaceX
I waited 30 years for this. Best of success for the next launch. You're all, SpaceX collectively, are fulfilling the dreams of generations. Thank you.
That plasma cloud is wild!!
yooo PikaPetey's here! :D
Yooooo
PIKAPETEY?
We FINALLY have a video that is as awesome as the old films of Saturn V launches! I’ve been waiting A LONG TIME for this.
Indeed!
At least Saturn V didn't blow up, what's SpaceX's excuse?
@@jaydonbrown617Rapid Prototyping Design as an Engineering Methodology. Build, test, fail, fix, repeat. Using the same methodology, they built a reusable Falcon 9 first stage with lots of initial failures leading to a very reliable landing history.
@@jaydonbrown617 Do you only care if a rocket explodes?
@@tha1oneasianguy I would like to see SpaceX actually carry out their missions without failure, even of they aren't retrieving anything
Eine Perfektion welche sich echt sehen lassen kann. Bald wird die Starship Reise los gehen.🎉😊
Props to whomever made this! You made an epic launch even more epic!
seeing the shockwaves generated by the Raptop engines during lift off was astounding. That plus the plasma during the reentry. Awesome job to Starlink for providing those feeds to us. Cant wait for Flight 4.
Incredible footage. The future of space flight is once again bright! Also, PLEASE STREAM AGAIN ON KZhead.
do they stream anywhere anymore?
@@AstridArcadia_Ch. X. Which I don’t really mind as a platform, except that the stream quality sucks.
The launch was live on the Spacex website
@@joelmulder ITF-3 stream quality was pretty good on X this time.
@@joelmulder If you pull it up on a smartphone, you can then AirPlay it to a smart tv
What a time to be a live. This edit and the footage, with the slow mo of the rockets from the first stage, to the firey cloud it creates during lift. Mesmerizingly beautiful. Bravo SpaceX.
yeah this compilation video gave me chills, so excited for the future thanks to SpaceX
The editing and music on the hot staging sequence..... chef's kiss
Well done to the SpaceX's video editing team. Those are some amazing shots compiled in this video. The Starship project is great, but this video itself deserves a lot of credit!
this is what Elon does. Puts up a big show so dumb people think he is awesome everyman.
these are the most important events in human history.. crazy how its not talked about
That was awesome to watch and the music for this video was a great compliment to that.
The plasma shots are spectacular!
Wow! Thank you for putting this up on KZhead. This needs to reach the widest possible audience and the YT algorithm has its uses. Everything about this is so gorgeous.
we need the 4k
What we need is a win, this isn't it
@@jaydonbrown617Oh, it's a win alright. The information gathered in this test flight is invaluable. You can go back to sleep now if you like.
@@SGW4K Data data data, that's all they will achieve in gaining at this point. They lay out a specific flight and mission plan to follow, fail everything past separation, blow up and crash, and call it a win because data. When SpaceX inevitably kills astronauts on their way to the moon in 20 years, at least they will get "data" right? ....idiots...
love the back ground music
Good editing and amazing team ! Respect !
This is one of the most beautiful KZhead videos I've ever seen. This is only the beginning, the future where mankind will return to the stars, to not only visit, but stay.
This is insane! Props to all the hard-working engineers who have brought it this far.
I love seeing all the of team light up after the test, so much work is put into making these flights possible. Thanks to everyone working on these projects, you give us hope.
One of the most amazing videos in history. Congratulations SpaceX team, this is a jaw dropping accomplishment.
First of all, this edit is absolute fire! Second, stuff like this is the reason why I get out of bed in the morning. Just the fact that something like this is possible inspires me deeply. Respect to the team.
So freakin amazing!

I love the thought, that I'll be watching live, when Starship lands first time on Mars. This is going to be a delightful day for all of humankind.
Even seeing it on the moon will be a most impressive feat!
0:38 whoever planned this shot is a genius!
I've been watching Starship for all of my teenage years, I have the 24/7 live stream of starbase on my TV every hour of the day. These videos are amazing and VERY motivating, I'm soon to be an adult and I can't wait to tell my grandkids about the early days of starship development like many old folk talk about the Apollo program these days. :)
I feel sorry for your grandkids' future story times....
I feel sorry for the people around you because of your ignorance.
@@jaydonbrown617 Why are you even here if you don’t like aerospace? And you seem to think that you know better than SpaceX themselves don’t you? “Nice to see a promotional video for a failed mission” - That really just proves your ignorance mate 😂
@@crytilz I feel sorry for you with all your blind admiration for a faulty product. When it's 10 years from now, and SpaceX is still learning how to get to the moon in one piece, maybe you'll learn.
@@crytilz Why are *YOU* even here if you know nothing about aerospace? It's a common strawman argument to say that people who criticize SpaceX seem to "know better" than the engineers at SpaceX, when in reality it's because we have a fundamental grasp on what the physics and challenges to overcome here and know this is all a farce. You people see big rocket go zoom and boom and climb to the tops of mountains to scream in ecstasy.
This is fantastic footage!! Very well done!!!
Just rewatched for the millionth time because it’s so good. Just noticed that at 0:27 theres an apollo-esque shot of the engines closeup and its amazing
Congratulations SpaceX on the third test flight, keep up the good work ♡
I love the end when it says next up and the show the runner up warming up 🔥
That's the most beautiful scene I've seen, hope someday I can see it at the local spot
Yes, I've been waiting for the recap since it launched!
Welcome back to KZhead!
Because Twitter is a joke.
prob just a overview. pretty sure they will continue using X
Yes video quality is bad on X bring it back

Some interesting heat shield related ideas that may have already been commented: > Perhaps wrapping the Starship heat tile areas with a heavy-duty type automotive wrap film to hold the tiles in place until re-entry burns it off. Could also enable multi-colours, chrome, or advertisement logos. > Perhaps the commonly suggested placement of flaps leeward of the heat shield would not only reduce the number of tile shapes required, but could also aid in the Starship's forward and aft sections to more closely match the profile of a Dragon capsule (blunt end tapered to narrow) for aerodynamic stability. > Perhaps an external, track mounted robo-arm to inspect for and replace missing tiles, and also aid in attaching Starships together for fuel transfers. > Perhaps a semicircular shaped nosecone with an "eyelid type" half that rotates within the slightly larger diameter heat shield covered “half” would also enable less tile shapes as the entire shield surface would essentially be one consistent radius (if flaps located as mentioned above), and would also allow for a large cargo door. This semicircular nose cone might also be removable at Stage Zero to allow for various cylinder shaped third party cargo configurations to be inserted (like a battery into a flashlight handle) within a standardized Starship. Eg. A space station segment could be inserted to convert a Starship into a human-carrying spaceship or refuelling tanks could be inserted to convert it into a tanker, etc. Looking forward to the fourth launch!
Something that burns off on reentry would ruin the goal of rapid reuse. The flaps are needed to control the reentry, they have to be in the plasma.
@@whocares2277 Yes, a film application would definitely require some extra amount of time to install, but it might be handy in enabling there to be a ship to reuse:) I also agree, however, the further aft placement of the flaps should still enable them to engage the plasma flow depending on their adjustable orientation… What do you think about the other ideas? Any merit? Thanks for your reply!
Awesome how the drones recording it don't even shake or shudder with all the sound waves and vibration
the editor got me in my feels with this one
Absolutely one of the greatest Big Rocket / Spacecraft videos on KZhead. Now we wait for every other rocket scientist KZheadr here to rip it off.
Just incredible in every way! Love the editing!
amazing team! congrats! waiting x the 4!

Indeed, and the adventure is just beginning!
weird comment considering this is a total failure, it blew up....
also like to see that kind of innovation even just being attempted is outstanding, like thats very advanced tech being developed there
humanity has only launched and come back to earth. 10,000 times...... not sure what youre talking about
Almost there! Can't wait for flight 4!
probably the most visually stunning video of a rocket launch i have ever seen, the mood and the visual representation of brute force seeing the shock waves radiating away during launch..,awesome
That re-entry is some of the coolest space footage I've ever seen. ❤
Check out the Orion footage released by NASA a few months ago.

Thank you for the amazing cut, talented team of SpaceX video editors. Well done.
the thrusters shooting through the atmosphere like some future tech from out of a sci fi movie, so cool
Nice work SpaceX, keep it up! and you guys should keep streaming live flights on KZhead again, I missed like almost all of them since you stopped doing it.
Awe inspiring. The shots really framed the spectacular difficulty. Hats off to all.

Can´t wait for number 4. Fantastic!
I can't wait to see you guys land that thing!
The Falcon Heavy test flight video won an Emmy. And it had heavy emphasis on crowd reaction. Perhaps there is another award waiting on a restreamer supercut on seeing the plasma.
There’s a reason it focuses on crowd reaction, their achievement was opening a door 🤦♂️
Finally! I've been refreshing every hour every day for this video to show up on my feed!
hahahaha!!! elon owns X. he posts on There now instead of youtube. This is a competitor to his media company
man thats the most amazing video i have watched in quite a while
Finally a well film well edited short version of the flight
Inspirational! From Star hopper to the biggest rocket ever made, truly magical!
starhopper being engulfed in flames is such a good memory :)

THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW
man i always get emotional on those milestones, thank you space x
My word. This is beautiful
Absolutely incredible! 🚀
Man the videos space x keeps putting out with the flights continue to make it all even more enjoyable. One can really take in and appreciate even more, all the hard work and engineering at work.
