On Wednesday, March 3, Starship serial number (SN10) successfully completed SpaceX’s third high-altitude flight test of a Starship prototype from our site in Cameron County, Texas.
Similar to the high-altitude flight tests of Starship SN8 and SN9, SN10 was powered through ascent by three Raptor engines, each shutting down in sequence prior to the vehicle reaching apogee - approximately 10 km in altitude. SN10 performed a propellant transition to the internal header tanks, which hold landing propellant, before reorienting itself for reentry and a controlled aerodynamic descent.
The Starship prototype descended under active aerodynamic control, accomplished by independent movement of two forward and two aft flaps on the vehicle. All four flaps were actuated by an onboard flight computer to control Starship’s attitude during flight and enabled a precise landing at the intended location. SN10’s Raptor engines reignited as the vehicle performed the landing flip maneuver immediately before successfully touching down on the landing pad!
As if the flight test was not exciting enough, SN10 experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly shortly after landing. These test flights are all 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.

👍👽
It's so. incredibly. loud. WOw!
Amazing job!
Was that real footage or CGI interspersed with real footage?
Real footage, all the way through. It was a livestream.
11:42 The best most unbelievable non CGI part of the video. Truly amazing shot
MUY BUENO- UN ABRAZO Y UN BESO GORDO- El video mio se encuentra en el YOU TUBE y se llama- robotizado con cd 4017 , ne 555 pilotos El plano esta bajo el video. Andre Troll Kaiser
Wow! I thankyou but i think the landing was far more astounding than the take off. Fantastic👍👍👍
11:41 Looks like one of those movie scenes.
Huge Respect for the Engineers, technicians and every worker at SpaceX 🙏💯.
Es una nave de Flash Gordon, OMG!
Cortaram a parte da explosão pq? HUAUHAUHHAUUH medo de cair ações elon musk?
amazing..
For a moment, it looked CGI.
I watched this with my own eyes. 100% not CGI.
Nice
The reduced vibration of this missile is an unparalleled precedent
Man will go mars no earlier than 2040. Even a small cybertruck takes years to be released to public, I can't imagine how long it will take starship to meet all the requirements. Probably decades. The news says we will see Man on mars very soon, just to keep us high expectations, but I think it's just marketing. I'm just being realistic.
I wrote the wrong number of days. It's +400 to 500 days. Yet not for this decade. It's just my opinion, I hope I'm wrong. Thank you Matt for remind me to correct the days. Mr. Lmao, sorry to challenge your beliefs, if you don't agree write why you don't, instead of going straight to offensive words.
@Lmao. My bad, I'll delete my response
@Matt's LV-home stuff i was referring to the original comment
so is this "argument" just some copy paste shit or are you part of a hivemind? i've seen this exact comment several times now.
@Igor Delta F. I'm not sure where you get 1400 days from. During the closest approach, Mars is about a 6-9 month journey depending on which year you launch. That is maximum ~270 days trip one way to Mars. Perhaps you can be more specific on where you are getting your numbers from
So Elon is iron man because that seems a lot like how iron man lands 😄👀
happen live 😂
@Ailsa Ni what
Демократия не долетит до Марса.
did anyone else notice the hard bounce on landing or the drone view that looked like a cheap netflix movie?
hi mates is very enjoy...blazz_zzzz
congratulations
What a bunch a shit! Can't believe y'all into this crap, CGI at the end got me cracking, no craft can do that TODAY , c'mon guys wake the fuck up
@JP muro I have shown you multiple videos captured by amateurs, yet you still insist on cgi? What's your proof of CGI?
@JP muro twitter.com/RGVaerialphotos/status/1377001018102276097 (That was SN11 the twitter pic, the links are SN10) lv-home.info/the/qm6Jr523YXKUqbU/video.html lv-home.info/the/nGymf46bi3t_rrk/video.html
@JP muro Well sure since that was filmed before the launch, lemme find you an amateur video of it. Theres also RGV Aerial Photography, and after the bellyflop Fail of SN11 they photgraphed it's nosecone laying on the ground im gonna get you some links.
The real question lies beyond you and me and what we both think. Theres proof , that this is all a hoax. The question is why are you defending something that you can't prove, while all claims against what your trying to cling to have tons of facts , scientific, to back them up. My proof is right there , the cgi sequence at the end and the so called landing, i know its hard. We both have our own truths and i respect that, its just that's this is soo in our faces , its impossible not to see. And question its nature
We'll , yes , i see it. It never took off. Did it? i mean i could go there tomorrow and take a pic, what's your proof? Where's the footage of take off and descent.
Modern warfare CGI looks way better , should give em a call #elonmusk
Go to boca chica
looks like a sci fi film
Alles nur lüge

Go there yourself and see it for yourself
This style of aircraft- is it "Flash Gordon" style? Or more Rocketeer?
nice cgi
Go to boca chica
You can go there yourself and see it
Is this even real? It looks like cgi
yeah, its because it is
@alexn310 ye
Go to Boca Chica, TX. You can see these getting built and flown in real time there.
Nice

12:00 I see starhopper
ye love starhopper
What I don’t like about the BFR is that there is no redundancy. Since fuel tanks are located in the nose cone, the crew cannot jettison from the top to escape an inevitable failure. Any manned flights must have redundancy.
@Saanichton Ministries I agree ...,.. I don’t see nasa trusting SpaceX to place astronauts on Mars anytime soon until starship has at least 200-600 successful flights without incidence along with a smart AI to pilot starship However SpaceX does have falcon Heavy which is a proven space vehicle which I do see NASA trusting to send to the moon or Mars 🥲 Only the future will tell
@Eduardo Rodriguez Vazquez fair enough. After a study of the STS program, it would be a nightmare to fly on a rocket. As a pilot myself, it is fascinating science. But way too risky. I don’t ever see the risk factor going away. Man it too flawed. Too much can go wrong in manned space flight. Too many extremes. I don’t know if it is ethical watching people kill themselves trying to go to Mars.... like the Mars one project?
@Saanichton Ministries Is this suppose be hyperbole ....? Obviously not, they only flow 4 of them🤦🏻and their still very much prototype rockets That’s the equivalence of me asking you if you’d like a flight on the wrights brothers first plane .....
@Eduardo Rodriguez Vazquez would you if you could?
@Saanichton Ministries 🤨 ....... no I don’t
Демократия не долетит до Марса.
bravo let's Mars but if Mars gravity is lower than Earth it's going to be easy landing
ouais
FIREBALL XL5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks like a sci fi film
ye but is real
That is bull shit.
@Shorty haha
Carmen is close to karen
@alexn310 thanks for saving me time
Go and watch it yourself in boca chica before throwing bullshit accusations on LV-home
24 7 live Mars cam coming soon : )
Congrats, the best sci fi movie ever... it's incredible...
Большая консервная банка с крыльями и двигателями..круто..поздравляю. Она еще и садиться..супер..
I like how they cut out where it exploded anyway. Scrub X blew it again. At least they are consistent.
They didn't cut anything out. The livestream ended shortly after landing. The explosion happened approx 7/8 minutes later
Did you even seen the live stream?
This is the testing stage it's normal for things to blow up.
@Jephro321 Was saying no to you stating they cut it out. Yes it exploded, but they didnt "cut it out" they ended the stream before it exploded.
@alexn310 no what it blew up period.
launch pad is too close to the installations ! dangerous
When landing, the ignition is too late to correct. It needs to be 1-2 seconds earlier.The liquid fuel bunker should be divided into many small bunkers. Otherwise, if the whole bunker is turned vertically to horizontal, and then to vertical, the kinetic energy of the liquid itself can heat itself, causing expansion and deflagration
@TimePro oh nvm I commented on this before I check Elon’s Tweet again I kinda didn’t remember the case
@Epic gamer Heap1 Starship DOES use helium. After SN8s crash helium was put into the header tank of SN9 and SN10 to keep the tank pressurized and to prevent what happened to SN8. The helium was not supposed to be ingested.
@TimePro An Starship does not have helium it only uses lox, methane fuel and pressure.
@Epic gamer Heap1 That would be the case for SN8. SN10 has a hard landing because it ingested helium unexpectedly.
It is not late according to Elon the single raptor engine was low on thrust to due low pressure inside of one of the tanks
Вероятно, данная труба должна изображать носитель? Труба еле-еле взобралась на высоту 2 км и опустилась на землю. Как она собирается разогнать полезный груз до необходимой скорости? Это просто лапша для неграмотных.
Need to add a parachute placed on top of the missile, when it falls straight. Need to improve the landing cooling system with the missile fixation axle after landing, I mean upgrading the yard system so that under it there is a shaft that can move and attach itself. as a landing gear. Maybe so, try using a flying parachute that cuts off when the Rocket is falling in mid-air. hm ... i think this idea can be sold, maybe n't 😄
@Huỳnh Đức Lê Please for the love of god stop calling it a missile!
@Huỳnh Đức Lê Yes, but they've already demonstrated they can land it without, and a parachute would also increase turnaround time for reuse. No need for one if propulsive landing can already yield the requested results.
@alexn310 I know it's heavy, I mean the parachute is only used for a short time and then cut off when the missile is horizontal, except that the missile is placed at the top of the missile retained at the upright position. The parachute flew horizontally should be two moderate instead of one large enough to bear the load since it would be cut off to enter the final stage anyway. Although mainly used to reduce the force and help more stability, the possibility of wind, the weather will adversely affect the parachute and affect the missile but this problem can be improved. which is that you can use three parachutes to change your posture from horizontal to straight if you cut the parachute from the tail of the Rocket.
Starship is too heavy for a parachute.
what do you make of this: Take a look at the spaceX logo. (the actual logo). When I look at the logo SpaceX... I'm seeing: Spy.... then it says..... Cc .....(which in numerology is 33. Freemasons number). .... Then what looks like a symbol that appear to be something trying to 'break out of the dome". So that's one interpretation. Or another: Spa cex. Or in other words "Spa Sex". then the X in that looks like it could represent the act of sex (look carefully, it's crazy.) (boom-chic-a-waa-waa). Okay and a 3rd interpretation goes like this: SpaceX. Well "X" in english and internationally is a way of saying "No". So it's Space-NO. or in reverse: No Space. Which is pretty obvious these days. So those are 3 interpretations of the SpaceX LOGO.
@nice guy I have no patience for people with special needs
