SpaceX launch live No splashdown as contact with Starship rocket
The SpaceX team said it will take some time for them to understand exactly what happened.

Looking at it from here, the launch could not have gone better. But what might be a hurdle next will be surviving re-entry.

That's because the vibrations experienced during a launch are intense.

If you ever go to a rocket launch, the first thing I urge you not do is get your phone out and film it. Just experience it.

First of all, you see this blinding light from the engines at the base of the rocket, you would not believe how bright the light is, it's like looking at the sun.

And then you start to hear the rumble, you hear the noise get louder and louder.

Then, your whole body starts to vibrate.

The payload sitting on top of a rocket is experiencing all of that noise and vibration as well, so when they make satellites they put them through all that testing as well.
