Get up close and personal to a full stack of Starship on the Orbital Launch Mount at SpaceX's Starbase facility with Elon Musk. Then hear how Starship Flight 4 went when we follow up with Elon after the launch!

Join Elon Musk for a tour inside SpaceX's Starbase and the brand new Starfactory. This video was shot the day before Flight 4, on June 5th, 2024.

June 23, 2024.

This is just after stage separation, you can see the booster and two fairing halves fall away!

I filmed this from up on a hill in Fremont, 200mm lens, cropped in a little and stabilized in Blender. Contrast adjusted too.

I should have set the iso to be lower so it wasn't so noisy, but this was my first time watching and filming a launch! It was so exciting to see it go, despite being ~450km away!
