01:30booster after chamber pressure is nominal
01:48two plus 43 seconds into the test flight of the inaugural Starship vehicle
01:59tower cleared to land a pitch over propulsion reports first stage engines nominal
02:04what a sight from the grand cameras at Starbase
02:07we're flying at twice the thrust of a Saturn V heading to space
02:11we're throttled down and throttled back up
02:24going through the period of maximum aerodynamic pressure
02:34as the velocity increases the density atmosphere is decreasing
02:39lessening stress on the vehicle the call out next to you now
02:50continuing to watch the first stage as we head downrange
03:00100 seconds into flight
03:02our next major activity is going to be shutdown of the first stage Houston tracking station now
03:12acquiring the vehicle with shutdown we will get separation of Starship and Super Heavy
03:18and ignition of the Starship engines when Starship separates we light up six engines
03:24in a staggered sequence if all goes well those six engines will burn for almost six and a half
03:29minutes on board view from Starship and there's views of the Raptor engines on the second stage
03:39as we prepare for stage separation now after stage separation the first stage will flip
03:44and begin a boost back maneuver for landing in the Gulf
03:59continuing to fly two minutes 40 seconds let's get ready for main engine cutoff
04:09beginning to flip for stage separation
04:30so
04:43as of right now we are awaiting stage separation
04:48where Starship should separate from the Super Heavy booster
04:52yeah Kate right now it looks like we saw the start of the flip but obviously we're seeing
04:57from the ground cameras the entire Starship stack continuing to rotate we should have
05:01had separation by now obviously this is uh does not appear to be a nominal situation
05:08yeah it does appear to be spinning but I do want to remind everyone that everything after
05:13clearing the tower was icing on the cake
05:43we are starting off to the Starship
05:50inaugural airplane test flight
