SpaceX's Starship rocket just performed a flip maneuver and precisely splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean next to a few buoys with Starlink on them. The softest splashdown we've seen yet. SpaceX employees ended the stream chanting "USA! USA! USA!"🇺🇸

@Starlink Stuck the landing

@Starlink Love the patriotic employees of this company Blessed

@Kimcuc1967 @Starlink Nice to see, amidst all this bullshit, someone's still doing something useful, like, aimed at getting us off this planet, next phase.

@Starlink

@Starlink Star Ship? YES Water Ship? YES, that too.

@Starlink Newbie here: why did they decide to have this ship land in the ocean and not catch it like normal?

@Starlink Seeing Starship just casually floating in the ocean after that flip was the absolute last thing on my bingo card today.

@Starlink Easy peasy. It’s not like it’s rocket science or anything. Oh wait..

@Starlink That ship is currently floating back to Florida 🤣

@Starlink Unbelievable, landing... and they're still getting live feeds from the ship's cameras while it's bobbing up-side down in the middle of Indian Ocean. Surreal!

@Starlink That was absolutely amazing and a very welcome surprise! The unexpected, I assume, extra inspection that was able to be done, not just to the heat shield, but other parts that was visible above the water. Did they have underwater inspection capability w/recovery team?

@Starlink It was an amazing test for sure!

@hotttttotrot @Starlink Beautiful!

@Starlink Nobody has ever in the history of the World done it better than SpaceX!! Totally Amazing!! And 20 new V3s spitting out like Pez candies!!!

@Starlink An Epic 13 launch 🚀

@Starlink One of the most incredible things I have ever seen in my life, still have goosebumps!!

@Starlink And this version of Starship FLOATS… for a while!! Interstellar… here we come!

@Starlink The bear: "Starship couldn't explode? That's disappointing." 😂

@Starlink Wow, totally missed the target and exploded afterwards. Epic fail and cover up by spacex. Added cheers over fake video. Investors should be running for the door after this deception.

@Starlink Crazy how "small" this looks in the ocean

@TheBareAssLodge @Starlink about 81,000 metric tons of CO2 per year from SpaceX’s combined 2025 launches (165 Falcon 9 + 5 Starship). So remember if the government tells you we need to go green it’s all bullshit.

@100xWill5 @Starlink USA USA USA 🇺🇸

@Starlink Absolutely incredible SpaceX does it again I'm so glad it came out without a hitch congratulations y'all

@Starlink It was really cool to watch it just hover there at a dead stop!

@Robotbeat @Starlink Retsrded idea: after it lands, make it shoot forward like a boat back to base!

@Starlink That was fantastic! For those of you intelligent enough to have bought stocks, they will shoot up Monday! For those of you here questioning the success of this launch... Get a clue!

@Starlink @grok what's the mechanics that starship doesn't burst while splashing down?

@Starlink I think pretty much the world was chanting USA!! MIND BLOWN 🤯

@Starlink Does anyone think that spaceX will try to recover the ship now and bring it back to look at it?

Starship floated while transmitting like a huge, graceful powerful machine waiting for the earthlings to come get him--he did his job. I think he thinks he is ready to be caught but knows there will be tests first. He floated for the teams and for Elon. There was a whole lot that was startling about the flight besides the float and we got to see it courtesy of Starlink. Thanks crew and Elon for a magnificent flight and for moving forward toward space.

@Starlink

@Starlink When will flip happen ? And this is utterly useless, there is no value on doing this just like there is no value in adding fart sounds in Tesla

@Starlink Can’t stop watching this soft splash down, amazing. Probably a rare event, as they will likely go for catch at this.

@Starlink The underwater videos were insane
