that once we resume the countdo,
it restarts from the 42nd period
and then we keep going unless
another condition pops up.
So stick around, because Starship could
be going here real soon. Don't k
away, that's for sure.
Amazing views here coming
to us from Starbase, Texas.

Continuing to watch the first
stage as we head down range
100 seconds into flight.
Our next major activity is going
to be shut down of the first ste
Houston tracking station
now acquiring the vehicle
with shutdown we will get separn
of Starship and super Heavy
and ignition of the Starship
engines when Starship separates.
We light up 6 engines
in the staggered sequence and if all goes well, those
six engines will burn for almost
6 1/2 minutes
on board view from Starship
and their views of the Raptor engines on
the second stage.
As we prepare for stage separatn
and after stage separation,
the first stage will flip and
begin a boost back maneuver
for landing in the Gulf.
Continuing to fly, 2 minutes, 40 seconds.
Let's get ready for main engine cutoff,
beginning the flip
for stage separation.
As of right now, we are
awaiting stage separation
where Starship should separate
from the Super Heavy booster.
Yeah, Kate, right now it
looks like we saw the start
of the flip, but obviously we're
seeing from the ground cameras.
The entire Starship stack continue to rotate.
We should have had separation by now.
Obviously this is does not apper
to be a nominal situation. Yeah,
it does appear to be spinning,
but I do want to remind everyone
that everything after clearing
the tower was icing on the cake.
Everyone
here absolutely pumped to cleare
pad and make it this far into te
test light. The first integrated
flight of the booster
and the Starship vehicle.
Live view there of our
Control Center at Starbase,
which we refer to as Star Comma.
As we said before, obviously we wanted
to make it all the way through,
but to get this far, honestly is amazing.
Well, if you're just joining us,
Starship just experienced what
we call a rapid unscheduled
disassembly or a RUT during ass.
But now this was a development .
It's the first Test flight of
Starship and the goal was to
gather the data and as we said,
clear the pad and get ready to go again.
So you never know exactly
what's going to happen,
but as we promised,
excitement is guaranteed and Starship
gave us a rather spectacular and what
was truly an incredible test thus far.
As we mentioned at the
start of today's program,
any and all the data that we collected
during the test is going to help
us with further development of
Starship and it's going to impre
the vehicles reliability as Spa.
Weeks to make life multiplaneta.
It's really worth noting that te
flight path was designed to be
over water and all the air and
sea space along with that flight
path and those surrounding areas
cleared in advance of the test.
And of course,
we're going to be coordinating
with local authorities for
the recovery operations.
But honestly, what an exciting morning.
Oh my gosh. We had a successful
liftoff from Starbase,
Texas at 8:28 AM Central Time.
We cleared the tower,
which honestly was our only hop.
We cleared the tower and all the data
that we collected all the way through
the all those Raptor, those 33.
Although I think we saw that
three Raptor engines were out,
but we got all that data and we got so
far as to hoping to see the the Starship,
the second stage.
Separate from the first stage to
super heavy booster and unfortunately
we didn't make that happen,
but that's okay.
It was the first integrated lauh
and honestly today was amazing,
absolutely
incredible day.
We made it through a number of
those initial test objectives
with getting booster ascent,
getting all the way through the countdown,
working some issues at the
end like really fantastic day
got through the gate of t -,
40 seconds on the second try.
Everything released, the hold d,
quick disconnect arms,
everything moves out of the way
and then we got the vehicle off
of the pad through Max Q all
the way up to stage separation,
even starting into the prep
for states up and then as we
say a lot of excitement.
Honestly, my face has had a smile on it
since lift off and now my face hurts.
Now since we don't have any
insights on the cause of our rad
unscheduled disassembly at this point,
we're going to end our webcast .
Teams will continue to review the data
and work toward our next flight test.
But before we go,
a big Congrats to the entire SpX
team on an exciting first integd
flight test of Starship and of
course a shout out to our viewe.
We appreciate you joining us, and as always,
we thank you for your interest in Starship,
SpaceX and your ongoing support.
Till next time.
