02:33Let's go.
02:34As the velocity increases, the density at the atmosphere is decreasing.
02:38Max Q.
02:39Lessening stress on the vehicle.
02:40The callout, Max Q now.
02:51Continuing to watch the first stage as we head downrange.
02:55100 seconds into flight, our next major activity is going to be set down of the first stage.
03:10Houston Tracking Station now acquiring the vehicle.
03:14With set down, we will get separation of Starship and Super Heavy and ignition of the Starship engines.
03:20When Starship separates, we light up six engines in the staggered sequence.
03:26If all goes well, those six engines will burn for almost six and a half minutes.
03:30Onboard view from Starship.
03:35And there's views of the Raptor engines on the second stage as we prepare for stage separation.
03:42Now after stage separation, the first stage will flip and begin a boost back maneuver for landing in the Gulf.
03:50Continuing to fly, two minutes, 40 seconds.
04:02Let's get ready for main engine cutoff.
04:07First engine cutoff.
04:09Beginning to flip for stage separation.
04:11All right.
04:12Now we all know the next shot.
04:16Come on!
04:23We're 키 белые asegura.
04:26Now let's get ready for us.
04:28élite emergency.
04:31Now let's get ready for the change to suit and分ка.
04:33Now let's get ready for the action.
04:35We'll be branca.
04:36Let's get ready for the action.
04:38We'll be some serious.
04:38First engine.
04:39That whale's key is in front of a window.
04:39Makes autonomous energy.
04:40kicks out there for us.
04:40As of right now, we are awaiting stage separation, where Starship should separate from the Super Heavy booster.
04:55Yeah, Kate, right now it looks like we saw the start of the flip, but obviously we're seeing from the ground cameras the entire Starship stack continuing to rotate.
05:04We should have had separation by now. Obviously, this does not appear to be a nominal situation.
05:11Yeah, it does appear to be spinning, but I do want to remind everyone that everything after clearing the tower was icing on the cake.
05:34And now, as you saw, as you promised, it's so young to the Starship, and now we are looking to test them.
05:55We'll see you next time.
