Starship SN10 High-Altitude Flight Test

Brumby:
.... and all of those engines are gimballed - so moving bits on top of the insane vibration ... and pressures ... and temperatures.
rdl:
They're using three engines, so most of the time during these tests the thrust is not along the centerline. Pretty impressive how well they deal with that. I'm amazed they landed one.
Brumby:
The gimballed engines that enable vectored thrust make the control an easy concept.

Making it work in this arena is quite the challenge ... and they're getting there!
TerraHertz:
SN8  watch?v=egHxiX40eJY   BOOM!
SN9  watch?v=zwZl6YV3xYA   BOOM!
SN10 watch?v=CF9mdMI1qxM   Yay! uh.... BOOM!

SpaceX and Elon's rapid prototyping method are certainly entertaining.

Also very effective. An amazing rate of progress.

Can't wait for NASA to pick up speed with artemis.
