Starship flip and landing burn at the end of its twelfth flight test

Starlink enabled 4K live streaming from liftoff to splashdown during Starship’s 12th test flight 🛰️🚀

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight. Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

Today SpaceX launched ~45tons of Starlink mass simulators on Starship Flight 12, the highest payload tonnage to space since Saturn V's Skylab (77t) in 1973. This is a huge milestone for spaceflight and cannot be ignored, the future of space and this program is so bright!!

why else are we here if not to live with unreasonable passion for things

Starship V3 takes flight for the first time → spacex.com/launches/stars…

This was the most awe inspiring thing I’ve ever seen. The future will be wildly better than today.

Congrats @SpaceX team and @elonmusk on a hell of a V3 Starship launch. One step closer to the Moon…one step closer to Mars 🇺🇸

Not a bad way to spend day two on the job. Thanks for the flight, @NASAAdmin, and best of luck to @SpaceX on Starship Flight 12!

@elonmusk what a good way to go out 💥🔥

We are living in the best timeline If this doesn't inspire instinctual awe in you, I don't know what possibly could Humanity will be multi-planetary

Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on the twelfth flight test of Starship!

Starship is executing a banking maneuver that mimics the final approach it would take while returning to Starbase for a catch on a future mission
