SpaceX Starship Test Ends With a Bang

Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “SpaceX Starship Test Ends With a Bang”.
[ Applause ] one three [ Applause, ] booster after chamber pressures vehicle Tower cleared window pitch over propulsory reports. First stage entrance model what a psych when the ground cameras, [ Applause, ] back up going through the period of Maximum aerodynamic pressure. So it’s the velocity increases. The depth of the atmosphere is decreasing. That’S cute, listening stress on the vehicle to call out next few now [ Applause ] continuing to watch the first stage as we head down range 100 seconds into flight.

Our next major activity of the first stage, Houston tracking station, now acquiring the vehicle we light up six engines in a staggered sequence and if all goes well, those six engines will burn for almost six and a half minutes I up and they refuse of the Raptor Engines on the second stage, as we prepare for stage separation now after safe separation, the first stage will flip and begin a boost back maneuver for landing in the Gulf foreign to fly two minutes 40 seconds. Let’S get ready for main engine cutoff, oh as of right now we are awaiting stage separation, where Starship should separate from the super heavy booster yeah Kate. Right now it looks like we saw the start of the flip, but obviously we’re seeing from the ground cameras. The entire Starship stack continuing to rotate. We should have had Separation by now. Obviously, this is uh does not appear to be a nominal situation. Yeah. It does appear to be spinning, but I do want to remind everyone that everything after clearing the tower was icing on the cake and there, as you saw as we promised an exciting end to the Starship inaugural integrated test flight, [ Applause ], everyone here absolutely pumped To clear the pad and make it this far into the test light, it’s first integrated light of the booster and the Starship vehicle live view bear of our control center at Starbase, which we refer to as Star Command, as we said before. Obviously, we wanted to make it all the way through, but to get this far honestly is amazing. .
