Remembering Starhopper - 150 m Hop 6 Month Anniversary
Ғылым және технология
6 months ago today, Starhopper successfully completed a 150 meter hop, marking a significant step toward making Humans a multi-planetary species and the second flight of a Full Flow Staged Combustion rocket engine (the first being Starhopper’s 20 meter hop). Relive the glory days with this video, including never before posted footage of the Abort Flamethrower, both 20 and 150 meter hops + more.

Hey!
As an engineer myself, this is still giving me goosebumps and eventually brings a little tear to my eye. I feel the dedication of the team at SpaceX. It’s incredible to see something no one has done before. The Raptor engine is an incredibly complicated machine and seeing this progress makes me somehow feel united with everyone who has the same enthusiasm for technology. I'm convinced that we will soon see a starship fly.

Biblically FLAT The greeks knew it was round. And that was a long time ago.
Just 8 months ago and now we're on to SN5 with 6 and 7 in the bullpen. The complex itself looks so bare in these videos and I expect looking back a year from now what we see there today will look primitive. I haven't been this excited about space since Apollo.

Very nice retrospective.
Just thought I would revisit where it all began and it is still amazing to see. Water towers actually fly and are destined for Mars. 😍😍😍😍
I hope Starhopper will be placed in the Rocket Garden or any other museum. She was the beginning of a new future.
Fantastic tribute to an amazing achievement
Seeing a flying water tank in 2020 surely was strange, they took it one step further with flying grain silos.
That's the thing with nostalgia, sometimes it seems like it was just last year.

Fantastic! I've no idea how many times I've seen this video! But what is that thing that flyes off away, on the right side, just after touching down? It seems to have 2 jets to swirl away...
Goosebumps
Here's a thought. The rocketry engineering so flawless you could viturally use any shape or form as a ship. This making the propulsion system the actual winner here. Meaning if that can fly mist anything can.

This video gets weirder and weirder to watch as time goes on, because Starhopper is now being used as a utility building/structure. Looking back on this in mid-2020 is like seeing a giant shed fly through the air.
that is one brilliant work of engineering.
Best feeling ever

1:15 what's the "bomb" sound? Gas thruster?
@revenevan11
4 жыл бұрын
Yep, that's the sound of the gas thrusters firing. It's the puff of smoke you see at the top just before the sound reaches the camera. It sounds a bit like a gunshot to me, which makes sense since it's a puff of high velocity gasses exiting the thruster nozzle (and turning off quickly since it's just a test here, which makes it also end sharply like a gunshot).
I’d have thought the little spud would’ve grown a bit bigger by now.
Oh! Yes!!! Good

SpaceX never gave an explanation for the change of the exhaust plume near the end of the hop, or did they?

@@markoodic5814 Like the other guy I do not understand your question a 100%. But here are all possible answers: Starhopper had a Static Fire as shown in this video that looked like a fireball indeed. Mk1 (the first Prototype of Starship) exploded while Pressure-Testing without an Engine attached and got scrapped. The thing that is built in Boca Chica right now is Serial number 1 (SN1). It got moved to the pad and will (hopefully) have a static fire in the next weeks. But at the moment there is also no engine attached to that :) Hope the right answer is in my Comment :D
