Yeah SpaceX is really making leaps between launches. I know a lot of media doesn't understand SpaceX's "Kerbal Space Program" approach to developing rocket systems, but it is definitely more rapid progress than anything NASA or the Soviets could ever pull off. It guarantees failures. Lots of failures. But the end result is a well-tested, well-engineered system like what Falcon 9 has become. It's a messy process, but it works.

This, the 3rd Space-X Starship test flight, took place on March 14, 2024, the 2nd was on November 18, 2023, and the 1st was on April 20, 2023.

Good coverage. A lot of commentators ignore or underplay the shedding of debris. I'd love to see more analysis of that. Also, its pretty clear from this footage that you can't blame sloshing of fuel for the failure of the raptors to relight in the booster. Raptors have had a chequered history and unless and until SpaceX starts being open about this issue I'm going to point the finger at the Raptor design being pushed too hard.

Headline 2034. Starship NEVER worked. It was simply too complicated. Engine re-ignition problems and the sheer number of engines to manage (super heavy 33 engines, upper stage 6 engines) was a contributing factor. Failure of a single engine resulted in a domino effect. It had the hallmarks of the Soviet N1 failure all over it.

Rapid unplanned disassembly sounds like all components just went back to their warehouse racks ☺

You have really good structured content.. Like it ..

when the spaceship coming back down and it rolls toward the part that is not covered by Tiles the reason is that most of the MASS of spaceship is not at the belly of spaceship that has the tiles, to BALANCE such MASS during entry is not possible because everything has been fixated into the body and MASS concentration toward the Belly does not happen. there must be a part of engine or payload that can move and adjust the mass toward the Belly where the Heat tiles are and when it gets close to landing the same mass needs to go back in its original state.

Wings generally are more effective than thrusters, unless it is in vacuum. The plasma indicates some atmosphere, but 'space' is considered to start at 100km/60mi, & this trajectory peaked @~200mi, I think.

is the splash down point anywhere near the possible location of the10 year old miissin malasian airlins crash site.

When it's facing backwards, it's at 222km.. far from reentering the atmosphere... it was attempting to relight the engines (which would be a simulated de-orbit burn, but the engines didn't light, probably because the computers were afraid to, for whatever reason.. so that didn't happen).. point being, it facing backwards was part of the plan...

Starship is already more expensive than Sls. Sls/orion was successful from the first try though. Artemis 3 and 4 will have massive delays and may be canceled.

SpaceX will eventually get fuel slosh under control. Just seeing those fins moving as they did means the vessel is reacting even if a lot of movement results but the fuel is sloshing in reaction. Maybe an expanded mesh filller to prevent splash in a silicon bladder to form the yank would dampen the fuel movement.

The booster spent enough time with it's tail pointed down for sloshing to settle. The problem is deeper than this.

I'm curious, has anyone looked at the fuel burn on Starship and accounted for expected payload? It looks like they were very low on propellent when they reentered the atmosphere without, even achieving orbit, but I don't think they had a mass simulator on board?

I suspect there's going to be a major rethink on the upper stage soon...

So basically, you have no idea what went wrong with the flight. I wasted time watching this only to learn what I already knew from watching the live feed. Won't make that mistake again.

In reality, how much payload capacity is there in SS.

that is the most likely conclusion. It was supposed to light 13 engines but only managed 3 and was possibly moving faster than expected.

Oh,oh,oh and the gimbal engine couldn’t relight. Because all the fuel leaked out on the 45 min coaster ride. Due in hold to damage gimbal engine nozzles o-rings.

Next flight needs better thruster control

A longer flight means more data that needs to be analysed properly to complete the mishap investigation.

On IFT3, prior to hitting the water, you can see green flames coming out of the bottom which means the engine is canibalizing itself. It appears that the Booster ran out of propellants, yet it is flying empty?? How is it ever going to take a payload into Space? Should it separate earlier? Starship never controlled its attitude with RCS. I cant imagine this was by design, therefore, it failed and therefore the reentry. If people dont acknowledge failures, how are you ever get to a successful launch? Problems I see: 1)Running out of propellants is a problem 2) Lack of attitude control on Booster&Starship is a problem 3) Losing tiles on reentry is a problem 4)Not clear the transfer propellant test was succesfull 5)The operation of the payload door ran into problems For the Elon fans unwilling to face reality, imagine this is Boeing’s rocket… Now, analyze and critique the launch.

Not sure what you mean in the beginning of your comment. The raptors failed to turn on for the landing burn, what does that have to do with bringing a payload to space. The booster did it’s job in that regards

I can’t wait for the next flight! Com on FAA! Let ‘em fly.

Im suprised you didn't say it was because the Starship didn't have a "revolutionary" Apple M2 processor 😅

Flying over southern Indian Ocean , too close to BIOT? Watchout for those "LOST"esq military programs ;) !

This Definitely doesn’t make me feel warm and cozy with their plans of nuclear energy for our moon!!!

"Closest thing yet to a fully successful test flight"? No. Starship and success aren't even in the same time zone. You're at least a year out from a vehicle that could test successfully. Keep chasing those rainbows.

A bit misleading title. We do not know what exactly happened. Even SpaceX does not know.

WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED ??? we really don't know , we speculate .

I feel like the plants in space is being done the wrong way. As nothing more than a hobbyist there are plants that grow great just using hydroponics. Need to "water" the plant just put the plant roots in a tube full of water. No gravity needed.

Clearly SpaceX does not understand reenty dynamics. Trex grid fins are worthless in a thin atmosphere. Why not add proper RCS thrusters? Ballistic reenty is futile. Let's get real.

SPACE X It's like Trackmania driven by Artifitial Intelligence. There is a slight Chance around 0,0013% that the IA (SI) will manage the track. SPACE X chase this chance to... its slight but its not pure ZERO. Well wee will see if this way of testing by dooing will pay of. Its not very convincing, but they are achieving progress (ore many Failures), but they are furder and furder on the track.

The FAA will say not so fast , we have to give China time to catch up!

I think the technical knowledge of the people involved in the Apollo and space shuttle programs was a lot better. I don't think if they had been involved in designing and testing something like the starship, that they would have had all these failures. I noticed the door that was supposed to open in the starship doesn't look much better than a garage door.

Learned nothing. Simple states what we already knew. Don't waste ur time.

Fitting each individual plant with sensors and monitoring/ maintaining said network is just as dumb in space as it would be on Earth. Quicker and less complicated to just look at them and adjust water and nutrient flows accordingly. Hard to believe someone spent years of their life and unknown amounts of money and resources on this nonsense.

Idiots made the engines more complicated than those on the Soviet N1, then made it enter the atmosphere on the first space speed engine first and expected them to work. First, you need a decent air brake, or a pressure injection system in the fuel tank, so that the fuel does not fall at the speed of the rocket, but actually pump into the engine. Then add an additional U-turn or shutter to protect the engines. Ilon, fire the designers, hire an engineer!

Better luck next time China.
