re: SpaceX Starship Full Stack Test Flight Thread | Cleared Tower, Thru MaxQ, then RUD

Seems like the issue was stage seperation in flight. Im willing to bet they figure that one out sooner rather than later.
Oh and figure out why they lost 5 Raptors at light.

Yeah that data will serve them immensely well for future testing

got through MaxQ

Up in smoke on 420. Go figure.

Clearing the tower was the goal. They made it.

You cant make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. It'll be funny to watch the ignortant knee-jerk reactions from keyboard warriors and the hate everyone will happily throw at Musk now.
But that was awesome. It got lift off, and cleared the tower, and maxq.
Time to tweak the separation mechanism.

Why is everyone patting themselves on the back. This looks like a failure and massive expense.

You're kidding. This is the most powerful rocket ever built.

They're all high af.

I have seen comments about the size of this thing. Does anyone have a quick image of it vs. Saturn 5?
Also, the 5 engines that were out... That seems to be an obvious point to watch and understand. They need that thrust otherwise why carry the weight associated?
What a massive step forward. But I'm admitting I don't understand a flip before separation. Why is that preferable to the traditional booster separation?

The static fire lost only 2... gotta wonder why 3 more went down during launch
Still amazing

That was one huge rocket they sent up successfully. 
The principles behind getting us set up on the moon I have been waiting for since the first moon landing. To explore space from the moon will be an immense advantage.

Probably the scale throwing you off.
It was a reduced thrust to weight ratio today, something like 1.3 instead of 1.5 of what will be normal, and what falcon has.
So it was relatively slow, but expected.
Also the ignition sequence for 33 engines takes 6seconds by itself before liftoff.

There's some leeway built into the Raptors. They expect a few to go out and still make orbit.
Max Q is huge but they seemed super slow on ascent after that. And maybe one issue with stage separation. Booster performed as intended in the flip.

Were you listening at all to anything that was being said?

just rewatched. It was 3 at launch and 5 before Max Q
