Here’s some sound from Mars. Obviously the actual sound is just a faint rusting of wind but I’m always interested when a science guy describes something as “really neat”.

SpaceX launched a Starship to 10 km and landed it in one piece.

On second thought, Mars kinda sucks and maybe we shouldn’t go there.
a few moments later…
Simply amazing. People betting on it landing and it exploding are all happy.
How did they capture the flight video? I don’t remember seeing that kind of constant relative perspective before.
Hollywood sound stage, just like the moon landing.

The part starting at 11:41 is unreal. It looks like a cutscene from a video game or something.
Somewhat reminiscent of scenes from the ST Voyager ep Bride of Chaotica!
I remember an attempted quench we did on a 5" CP analog solid rocket motor in my previous life. We used CO2 and thought we’d succeeded with the thing looking frozen sitting on the stand. Then 30 seconds of so later, it reignited. Oh well.
Edit: could have been one of the other Captain Proton eps
