On March 3, Starship serial number 10 (SN10) completed SpaceX’s third high-altitude flight test of a Starship prototype as it successfully ascended, transitioned propellant, and reoriented itself for reentry and an active aerodynamic controlled descent. SN10’s Raptor engines reignited to perform the vehicle’s landing flip maneuver immediately before successfully touching down on the landing pad.

Test flights such as SN10’s are about improving our understanding and development of a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo on long-duration interplanetary flights, and help humanity return to the Moon, and travel to Mars and beyond.

I can't get over how much this seems like a game designers work. That lens flare and transition is game cinematography at its finest

FUN FACT: All the starship sounds we hear come from a microphone in the payload bay!

They should have added the Spongebob “A few moments later” then show the explosion

I was hoping they'd show the explosion after a brief moment of silence, that would have been hilarious

I mean to be fair it only says “flight recap” not “flight recap and boom boom”

Can't wait for "how not to land an interplanetary class rocket"

Oh my god, I can't wait to see this fly on daily basis.

The shot at 1:14 looks like CGI. I know it’s real but the fact we have never seen anything like it before just makes it look unreal. Absolutely love this!

Who's watching before we've colonized Mars?

It looks so unreal. Something out of a sci-fi movie. This is insane that this is real life.
