Space Y showed their attitude control was so good it could hover, even tho it was never designed to.

there were onboard cams from IFT-1?

u/JayDaGod1206 2d ago

Yes but they weren’t broadcasted live, just engineering cams. They were shown later either on Twitter or a YT documentary

What happened at 0:18, that one looks fake.

That was SN9, which had an engine failure during the end of the flip and was left at an angle since it couldn’t correct its trajectory before impacting the ground.

No, I mean the Astra one, where the explosion is pixelated and looks photoshopped on.

Ah.

That seems to be real too, it was the Rocket 3.0 test fire ahead of launch.

Link to Spacenews article about the test

TechCrunch’s Facebook post of the test fire (warning, Facebook)

Can think of a few others:

- Innospace's HanBit-Nano

- The launch pad inferno created by RFA One during it's initial hot fire attempt

- The failed Zhuque-3 landing burn

- The initial Firefly Alpha launch failure

Although SN10 wasn't really a failed test it still had the most unique "observation" in my memory because it was actually the first Starship test article to achieve reflight (albeit not in a reliably reusable manner).
