I’m sitting here thinking “please don’t blow up, please don’t blow up”

No comms with Branson, bit of an oops but as they said, as long as its recorded via the internal camera's it should be good!

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Meh. Give us Starship super heavy please.

 

[jsmoke]

It's a bit like gaint rollercoaster.

Hell yeah, SpaceX definitely has my attention far more than this which, whilst this maybe classed as "space", it didn't climb above 100km (328,000ft) so to me it's basically an extremely high plane ride

Yeah, shame they lost comms, be good to see later when footage is released though.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Interesting to watch, but comms during this have been very poor, makes you appreciate what SpaceX do all the more.

At least they don't leave rubbish in space or waste engines.

 

[varkanoid]

Just landed safely.

What, you mean because they don't actually go into space?

[andy_mk3]

Nicely done that was.

And your point being?

I think they should be made to bring back all of the ship from spacex.

Well they didn't go into space did they, or did they? I'm not sure anymore

Who doesn't? SpaceX do.

No.
The last engine burns up on re-entry I think.

 

[Malevolence]

Exactly, the second stage is deorbited. So what 'rubbish' is left in space then?

 

[Puzzled]

Typical virgin event, lots of build up and expectation followed by a disappointingly short experience

All went well though, should be some better footage later.
