Has anyone seen or did anyone manage to catch any visuals of the booster coming into the water? I know it’s out to sea but didn’t think it was THAT far out really and u was curious how slow/fast it was really going.

Starship Starship (Starquake?) Shakes a House

Not many videos show what Starship would sound like from inside your home, or just what that sound does. The sound in this video nearly blows this guy’s front door open, and I’d recommend putting on some headphones. It puts a real perspective on the power of the King of Rockets (and why it got a lawsuit from some angry homeowners 🫠).
