In response to a FOIA request from NSF, Customs & Border Protection has released the footage from the aerostat stationed at South Padre Island of launch and booster catch from *Starship Flight 5*. Footage courtesy of CBP RGV NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

@CBPRGV Great work helping get that released!

@CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight Hopefully this is a sign that my request from Flight 5 will be processed soon😅

@CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight Why tf is border patrol looking for illegals in a Starship? @DOGE

@CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight Super nice tracking there Customs & Border Protection!

@CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight I wonder how for they downgraded the resolution before releasing the video. CBP does not like people knowing just how good their cameras are.

@ryand2d @CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight How long did it take for y'all? They fulfilled my request for flight 5 a while ago but unfortunately it was a phone recording of a screen at about 140p at best. Went back and forth a while trying to figure out the appeal process but still haven't received it. Beat me to it!

@ryand2d @CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight I submitted it on October 18th, got a response last night

@CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight aerostat at USCG station is 5.25 miles north of Starbase launch pads

@CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight That shockwave whaaaaaaaat

@CBPRGV @NASASpaceflight I always wondered if they could watch from there, really cool!
