Older, running doom on windows 95 with dos lol 😂

[Matt Couch @RealMattCouch]

Yup... Guilty.. you?

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

With that buoy view, it's clear that Starship nailed its targeted landing area. Hard to view Starship's fifth flight test as anything but a major success. Things probably accelerate from here.

@ProfBrianCox Couldn't help myself sorry lol 😂

[john @hjb7683]

@ProfBrianCox You are right there professor, also, you know, things can only get better 👍🙂

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

Near-unbelievable engineering.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

Elons reaction in this at 0:36 is too funny 😂

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

The Federal Avian Administration will need to conduct an anomaly investigation.

@Sir_Benedict_S Until the first mission comes up needing a fully expendable mode superheavy, that be good to see too

[Sir Benedict S. @Sir_Benedict_S]

Now yall gotta remember this view is gonna happen on pretty much all subsequent flights

Hopper is very proud.

[john @hjb7683]

@albiondumsday @dpoddolphinpro @NASASpaceflight That was same thought I had. However, it's down to the angle of that camera, from the other side it looked absolutely picture perfect 👌

[john @hjb7683]

@dpoddolphinpro @NASASpaceflight Still in disbelief. How we got here in such a short few years since all those tank test, starhopper flight in that field. Thanks for all the great footage over the years to you and the whole nsf team, from the Scottish walkie talkie on yt.

[john @hjb7683]

@JBRoth61 @jaynagy Think it was planned, they brought it in at an angle to allow it to tip naturally and break up on impact, easier to bring in pieces than to have to cut it up like they did with booster 11

[john @hjb7683]

@TomNault @jaynagy I was in disbelief the whole way down, even the tower check go for catch call I screamed no way at the TV, awesome stuff

[john @hjb7683]

@CSI_Starbase @LabPadre @DeffGeff I thought it would have been straight into a transport stand, wtaf, they have this much confidence in the structural integrity of the booster to hold itself on the stand, yet more surprises, wth? Lol

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

Honestly this is a HUGE surprise....Booster 12 has been lowered back onto the launch mount!

You can tell a lot more finesse is required to get it into the correct position when the stabilizer pins on the OLM aren't present.

@DrEliDavid @SpaceX @elonmusk You aren't the only one by a long shot. Funny how we have all chosen the same language. It truly is absolutely insane. Well done everyone involved

[john @hjb7683]

@CSI_Starbase Abso-frickin-lutely Zack my man. Thanks for all you have done for this community @CSI_Starbase. Many of us could probably walk into a factory and build a raptor cos of ur detail, cheers mate

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

This should hold its place as greatest Space Flight Footage of all time until the first catch attempt for the ship right??
