And the fact that it survived long enough for the second stage to get on its way was incredible in itself. We'll see how it goes!

Super Heavy/1st stage exploded after separation and turn. The important part, Starship/2nd stage, was doing fine but appears to have been eaten by the Space Ghoul around T+10 min.

Can't wait to see the high quality images and video from that. Wow.

#58Does anyone know how the start was filmed? The first shot was a drone, but after that it nearly looked like either cgi or another rocket flying next to it.

#59There's a direct media stream that VLC can open (with network stream): https://prod-ec-us-west-2.video.pscp.tv/Transcoding/v1/hls/O... ---- Much better quality, slightly better latency. Seems like it comes from the Periscope transcoding infrastructure. Found it on reddit here: https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/17uyblj/rspacex_int...
Fantastic, much better quality. Thank you. For those who almost never use VLC (like me), don't download and then open the file. Instead open VLC, Update it from its ancient version, and then File, Open Network Stream, paste in https://prod-ec-us-west-2.video.pscp.tv/Transcoding/v1/hls/O... then click Play. Enjoy.
It’ll open natively in Safari too.

#60Did anyone else just see something fly down on the stream? About T+8:30. I wonder if it was part of the exploded first stage.
