SN15 STARSHIP SUCCESS!!!
After spending time with my wife watching some TV, I decided I wanted to see how the SpaceX SN15 starship finally launched and landed... SUCCESSFULLY! This was a long time coming and one can see that SpaceX spent time wisely checking, rechecking, testing, replacing engines and more to make sure that this would be a successful test flight to 10 Kilometers and land without incident! Kindly watch this FULL SCREEN WITH SOUND MODERATE!
SpaceX Description:
"On May 5, 2021 SpaceX made first Starship SN15 clean landing without explosion flying to altitude of 10km hop. Elon Musk’s first twitter reaction included. is going to send people to Mars in 5 years. SN15 during flight was powered through by three Raptor engines, each shutting down in sequence prior to the vehicle reaching apogee – approximately 10 km in altitude. SN15 performs a propellant transition to the internal header tanks, which hold landing propellant, before reorienting itself for reentry and a controlled aerodynamic descent."

I hope you all enjoy it!!!

Sure was... I am trying to find a full flight video, so we can all see the flight to 10 kilometers, then the slow turn after the apogee and into the "belly flop" maneuver followed by the vertical alignment, then re-ignition of the raptor engines and a nice soft landing!
