Well, it did wait until it landed to explode. I wouldn’t expect ticket sales to boom for a while though.

I watched till the landing at the end. I saw fire and then explosion with flying debree. Can someone explain what happened? I hope it’s all good.

Wouldn’t it be crazy if there was another form of propulsion….
Like what the UFOs use….Silent, bends spacetime, uses no gas and not a rocket.

why do both parts do a “splash down” and don’t attempt capture by the Megazilla ?
@RobbyHouseIV
September 29, 2026 at 7:55 pm
Why are the booster’s grid fins deployed during the launch? I thought they were deployed during reentry and for the catch.
@frank_love

Is it me or there’s so much debris in space ? I could see shiny debris whiles watching the video.

Some humans are truly amazing in what they create and do, thankfully.
To do what you can to help others should be the standard for all, which it sadly isn’t, but then those of our species who make the impossible possible, wow.
It’s a privilege just to witness.

At T+00:08:44, the declaration “All right, so we are in space”, is totally wrong.
The gravity, at the altitude of 168Km, is still nearly 95% as strong as at the Earth’s surface. That means that SpaceX haven’t escape the Earth’s gravity.
We are still well inside the earth’s atmosphere, nothing near to the perfect vacuum of space.
@WoofyMD

What I find cool is that they actually allow us to see the entire journey. Not just from the ground, but also in space. Show me a single footage from NASA that actually shows how space shuttle or Orion got into orbit and how it flies in space. Even the first moon flyby was disapointing how little they showed.

Why did the frame change at m8:11 and the object in the background disappeared? This happened after the inaudible voice said something. Interesting
@henrikraabesvendsen
September 30, 2026 at 12:53 pm
Flight 14’s orbit is the milestone people waited years for. The interesting part now is turnaround: can they inspect, stack, and fly again without the schedule stretching into another month of pad work.

What in the world is that at 7:28 in the distance you can see something in earth’s orbit and it gets smaller as starship gets away, is it another satellite? I don’t know much about space stuff, can’t be aliens right? 😅
