The next Starship launch, Flight 15, will feature something never attempted before, ever. Catching a rocket from ORBIT! Yes, they've caught the booster before, but now it's time for the ship, and it's going to be EPIC!!! Music: "Liquid Cargo" by Everyday Astronaut (find it anywhere you stream music)...

After all the years of watching water towers being built, tested, destroyed and flown. From a single engine hoppy to a beautiful masterpiece with 33/6 engines. From ugly field welds to a beautiful piece engineering, I think we can all agree, we are so ready for this moment.

If SpaceX pulls this off, I think all the haters should be quiet for a while...

Also self explanatory but.. first time humans do an orbital space transport and don't throw away any vehicles.

Starship orbital refueling could happen in 2027. SpaceX should test it before the Moon mission to enable NASA’s Starship HLS lunar landing. 🚀🌕🤔

That one to watch in person would be a dream come true!

<3 LFG

Crazy we're finally this close to a ship reentry and catch after all those years of you guys live streaming the tests from a Margaritaville balcony.

This would make a fantastic first trip to Starbase for me. Love you music!

This is exactly what we’ve all been waiting for! CHOPZILLA GETS TO EAT!!

I'm pretty sure that ship in the video will have a few more visible scars on it. Atmospheric reentry can do a real number on your makeup.

Really nice edit, Tim.

How about the booster? Will they catch the booster?

Me gusta. It is not possible for me to gusta any harder than this

Elon called a successful recovery 'more likely than not' on the earnings call, targeting next month. A first ship catch from orbit would be a milestone for full reuse

One in Florida? It’s ready?

So exciting! PIV here I come! 🥰

“Excitement guaranteed”

No grid fins on the Starship. Very different control surfaces than the Super Heavy. Cross your fingers.

😍✊️❤️❤️

From imagination and orbit to landing and reality.

may feature... everything has to look good or they will ditch in the gulf. early days for version 3. I give a low probability that both will be caught

🚀🚗🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sweet!

@grok was the 15th flight already scheduled?

If the FAA let's them do it... 😬

Aww 🥰🚀🌌✨ like awesome get to wake up at 3am for launch then goes liftoff around 5:30 then 😢 okay see you tomorrow for catch 🥰 wow 24hour Starship mission yes please !

shockingly, this will become more routine than rocket booster landings

Ayyyyy

💯

physicist here: at 27,000 km/h each kg of that ship carries 6.7× the energy of a kg of TNT

Good music. 🙏
