That thing is so freaking massive, in how it looks, in how it sounds, in how it's named, in the launch pad, in how excited it makes me! Just everything about it. Awesome to feel like humanity is daring something cool and insane.

Anything within 5km has risk of hearing damage without protection. 120 dB will give you guaranteed hearing damage within 5 minutes, probably sooner. This was (calculated estimate) on the order of 90-100 dB at 5km, which will give you hearing damage within 30 minutes, probably sooner.

That sound is insane. I read years ago that the loudest man-made sustained sound (other than a nuclear blast) was the launch of a Saturn V at 203 decibels. I wonder how Starship compares to that in terms of decibel level, given that it's more than twice as powerful.

Easily the third most amazing thing I've ever watched, behind the birth of my two kids, and just ahead of the launch of Apollo 17 when I was a kid. Gotta make it down to Boca Chica in person at some port to see it with my own eyes.

Holy fuck the sound is crazy. Must be something else to experience in person.

Gave me chills...most awesome time to be alive!!

I am in love with the salmon plume

0:31 OMG!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱 just listen to the unimaginable loud crackle of the rocket when it reaches a certain altitude, jeezus this is like constant sonic booms going off by thousands of fighter jets breaking the sound barrier. This must be No.1 of the loudest rocket burner crackles I have ever heard in my life, definitely in person it would sound incredible.

Something about the people cheering and celebrating as it fades off into the distance almost brings a tear to my eyes.

Because I think even if one never seen a rocket before, he or she would know by that visual and audible experience, it this is a very powerful impression of so much raw power, so its natural to feel a bit uneasy and excited at the same time :D Like a Demi god raising up, must be one heck of an experience to see it irl.

Absolutely best launch coverage of the 2nd Super Heavy - Starship test flight. 1.... good positioning, 2.... good tracking, 3.... nice steady camera work. 4.... and ..... NO distracting mini image box tucked up into a top corner showing the commentators behaving like cheer leaders gone wild. I wanted to watch that rocket fly and you just "Delivered" sir. Full screen, with no distractions. You just earned your self another subscription sir. Most thoroughly enjoyed it Zak. Keep up the good work.

One of the only positive things humanity has on its plate at the moment (regardless of what you think about Elon). Go SpaceX!

@@CSIStarbase Manually focusing a camera is harder than people think/expect especially in the age of auto-focus cameras. Tracking any moving object, while keeping it in frame, is also quite hard. Doing both of those things at once is just a whole nother level of difficult.! You'll get it next time Zack.

Yeah!

Thanks S0ZG! Love the almost atmospheric nebula at the end. First time I saw that its full glory!

Never hesitate to put up a video like this again. This is definitely one of, if not, dare I say, THE BEST footage of this launch I have ever seen, heard and felt (or at least made me feel like I experienced it).

I can't even comprehend how deafening that would be in person. It's incredibly cool, but I understand why supersonic flight was banned over populated areas.

What an incredible show.

One word, harmonics; Smoother sound, smoother and greater power output !!

Thank you for the vidja. What a beautiful shot. Peaceful Skies.

I was on SPI right next to the jetty. It was AWESOME!!!!

Nice work CSI.

Yo this team goes into so much detail its a crime they ain't at at least a quarter million subs.

1:21 you can see starship breaking the sound barrier

@robertthomas9564

You are correct 1:21 the ship was Mach 1. Liftoff was 0:21. At 1:14 we can see the ship go transonic when the cloud forms around the middle of the ship. We know at 0:59 (1:21 in the video), telemetry indicates a speed of 1,128 km/h @ an altitude of 8 km. At 8 km altitude, the speed of sound is about 1,192 km/h. That places the ship within the transonic to supersonic period of the flight.

Excellent perspective! 👍

I still can’t believe 33 engines formed one set of Mach cones 9 meters wide. It’s a hell of a thing

Glad you posted it.

Thanks and too much blessing ❤❤

sounded like drums in the background almost, it's so beautiful huge mach diamonds too. it's perfect, can't wait for landing tries

@@CSIStarbase The roll program is a great deep-dive topic. In the past, they performed the roll to align the rocket with its azimuth. In the case of Starship maybe they roll just to point the telemetry antennas in the optimal direction? How do they accomplish the roll? Gimballing, grid fins, flaps..... Tim Dodd did a piece on the subject called "Why do cylindrical rockets roll?" Maybe a topic for a future CSI deep-dive?

Phenomenal 😊
