I don't think people gave nearly enough attention to this segment during the Flight 12 attempt 1 broadcast. That footage is absolutely terrifying.

The gridfin on the right seems to have locked up during todays landing, luckily the booster had sufficient control authority to compensate for this and land successfully.

The banking maneuver Starship does is so cool, I can't wait to see what it looks like from the ground hopefully later this year.

Still insane to me that this actually happened. Prior to Tianlong-3's incident launching during a static fire was treated as a ridiculous joke and something that could never actually happen in the modern age.

Still crazy to me that a team of less than 10 people made this in under 18 months.

This is definitely one of my favourite angles of the booster catch, I think it really shows off the precision that's required.

I don't think people who started following the starship program after flight 2 can truly understand just how insane watching the booster fly with 33 Raptors ignited was. Almost no one thought this would happen, saying it would happen was considered a joke.

Say what you will about China but saluting att ignition goes incredibly hard.

"If it was methane it'd be igniting in the flare, correct?" One of the most legendary clips from the starship program.

Thinking about that time Common Sense Sceptic got basic orbital mechanics completely wrong.

Rockets that liftoff really slow and rockets that liftoff really fast both have so much aura.

I was just rewatching flight 5 and I had completely forgotten how beautiful the plume was from the onboard cameras.

CRS 7 is the only time Falcon 9 has ever failed during first stage flight. It was caused by a COPV in the second stage coming loose and striking the tank dome after a strut holding it in place broke.
