Wow 🤩 What an incredible sight and experience. Booster liftoff was quick to me. 🚀 First of the many.

Absolutely amazing!! Really just speechless. The future is here as well as up & coming!

This liftoff I felt it was faster than usual!

@BeFreeQKTV Lovely

Most beautiful thing on earth is watching exceptional humans doing exceptional work. Amazing

The corporate culture behind SpaceX is so fucking impressive. That all comes from the top down. Remember that when you’re criticizing Elon.

That Starship launch hit different. Pure thunder and fire. My four puppies went full chaos mode — sitting in a perfect row staring at the TV, eyes glowing from the flames, barking like they were personally rooting for the booster catch 😂 One nearly launched off the couch. We’re really building the multiplanetary future. Insane. 🚀 What moment from the launch got you the most?

When the camera pans to SpaceX headquarters, the crowd of SpaceX employees are so young…and yet they are capable of absolutely amazing feats. I am very impressed by their enthusiasm, dedication and abilities.

Every Starship launch is a reminder that physics doesn't care about your quarterly earnings call. While legacy aerospace spent decades optimizing PowerPoint transitions, SpaceX just iterated until orbit became boring. That's the difference between talking about the future and building it.

🚀 Yesterday it scrubbed at T minus 40 seconds. A hydraulic pin on the launch tower wouldn't retract... Today it flew. 7 months since the last flight. First time V3 has ever left the ground. First launch from the brand new second pad. And for the first time in 12 attempts, Starship actually deployed real satellites to orbit. That last part is the one nobody is talking about enough. The same rocket that couldn't finish a flight two years ago just put hardware in space. Not a simulation. Not a test mass. Actual Starlink satellites, scanning their own heat shield on the way down

I didn’t expect Starship V3’s inaugural flight to go as well as it did, the ship is so different from any of their other starships so far, I really thought to would RUD at some point, good to see booster get through stage separation as well as the ship. Clearly some v3 raptor work to go through, but this first flight beats what V1 or V2 did on their first flights which is a great sign.

30 seconds from liftoff: Fast Empire State Building express elevator ≈ 45–50 stories up Starship ≈ 1.6 km (1 mile) straight up like a bat out of hell... Keep in mind this beast weighs ~5,000 tons at takeoff! 🚀🔥

I never get bored watching these launches honestly .. They make me feel like a child again.

I had a subwoofer positioned under my sofa chair. Felt like I was there for the first flight.

Watching this live in 4k it’s so beautiful

🚀Whoa! Starship + Max Q + the moon. @NASASpaceflight @SpaceX @elonmusk

@elonmusk what we want to see next 🔥

I missed the live launch because I was watching a fake spacex channel on YouTube. WTF!! Why no official SpaceX broadcast on YouTube?? ANGRY!!

Congratulations SpaceX! You make America proud.

Starships were meant to fly 🚀

@thirtythree There you go, baby! Fly baby fly

@shawnwows Congratulations on an exciting launch! Amazing work by the SpaceX team!

Starship Anthem

Liftoff. Brand-new booster, brand-new ship, brand-new pad — all 33 Raptor 3s lit clean through the new transfer-tube manifold. That's the unsexy plumbing milestone most people will gloss over, but it's the upgrade that lets the rest of V3's architecture exist. Onward to boostback.

Built. Tested. Flown. Repeated Starship doesn’t stop.

😁

The power of those new engines and speed of liftoff was mind-blowing 🤯

@elonmusk Millions can barely afford groceries. Smh

Feels like the Starship cleared the pad faster than the previous versions, because of the new engine?

Pretty smooth reentry! Nothing melty at all, at first impression. Quite a mushroom cloud explosion, when the Sn39 toppled over to smack into the ocean. Wow. Hell of an overhead drone POV.

That ignition was nasty. Starship didn’t ease into the sky, it punched through it. 🇺🇸🚀

@linda_ungureanu Beautiful 🚀

That's so sexy to see.. way to go SpaceX!! Definitely worth the wait. 🥰🖤
