That landing was fucking amazing - okay, so it blew up 8 minutes later but at this early prototyping phase what has been achieved so far with the prototypes in such a short space of time is absolutely incredible.

All is good - the initial lift off, the stable ascent, the engine cutoffs, the horizontal belly-flop, absolutely nailing the trajectory to the landing pad, the flip to vertical for landing and now, finally, a landing. Not a PERFECT landing of course, there were obviously problems with the landing legs and the speed of descent which was a tad too fast, but still, it LANDED in one piece! And this has all been done with a newly designed Starship AND newly designed engines which are all still prototypes.

Oh, and finally, a big FUCK YOU to the absolute cunts in the media who still concentrate on the later explosion rather that highlighting how well Starship has done after just three test flights.
