Ship 29 is an absolute UNIT of a warrior!
-
Before today I thought there was no way they could land the ship, absolutely no way after seeing the flap disintegrate, yet it still managed to get down. Absolutely incredible
-
That flap: "Tis but a scratch" Everyone: "but you're missing half the hinge" That flap: "just a flesh wound"
-
The little flap that could!
-
This must be how sports fans feel, because I was whooping and hollering like an absolute madman.
-
That was the most nuts that the NSF Team have gone on stream since SN8 , and I approve . Well done SpaceX and NSF .
-
Give that flap a medal! Every flight gets more and more exciting. SpaceX really are on the way to Mars
-
I saw the Apollo program (Project Apollo) and watched Saturn V stacks heading for the moon, saw lunar golf and rallying, saw the look of delirious excitement on John Young's face when he disembarked from Columbia after STS-1, saw many other amazing aerospace achievements in my 60 years and now this! Astonishing! 😁
-
That flap… Everyone is surprised it made it through reentry after the flap had a massive chunk taken out but how was it still able to do the flip? We were all sure it probably was just gonna slam into the ocean but performing AND SUCCEEDING in the flip manoeuvre is just insane!
-
THE LITTLE FLAP THAT COULD TSHIRT PLEASE!!!!!
-
That shot of the rocket silhouette passing through the gap in the clouds at 1:26 is phenomenal!
-
Absolutely honored to be alive to witness this!
-
Ship 29's landing is the most cinematic si-fi thing I have ever seen, and it was REAL! lol Hollywood eat your heart out!!! That was the most insane thing I have ever seen
-
Watching that flap melt in realtime could help to think that’s how the shuttle disintegrated, but watching ship survive and land was epic.
-
It was amazing from start to finish. Go starship!
-
Awesome! The NSF team are true enthusiasts. One dork clapping and lots of nerds experiencing emotional overloads. You guys are great! Including the Dork. Nobody does it better when it comes to covering SpaceX live activities. CSI Starbase covers the technology and engineering better, but nobody beats your passion. Thank you, NSF.

The “little” flap that could!!! Un-freaking-believable. The whole last couple minutes I was saying to my TV screen, “Damn. It’s over!” I was PLEASED to be proven wrong! That thing’s built like a tank! They still have some work to do, but I no longer have any doubts, they WILL get this all figured out perfectly in the next couple flights. I can’t wait to see what this will be like when they roll out Starship V2.
-
Ship 29 should be Renamed Nemo because of it's lucky fin
-
I really wish that they had parked a few unmanned boats out at the anticipated landing zones to get some video shots, but that's more likely in the future after they nail a few of these. Hat's off to SpaceX!
-
That flap held on for dear life. What a warrior! And the ship survived with missing tiles! 🤯
