SpaceX Starship SN5 did its test hop, with a single, off-center engine on its grain silo of a body. Impressive, and absurd.

Caught on the Tube too! Flying silos are both weird and wonderful.

Once it cleared the smoke and the whole thing sitting at an angle casually drifting through the air became visible I couldn’t help but laugh.

Not what yer SUPPOSED to feel. That is a very stupid, millennial question. From what you’ve experienced so far in life, What do you feel?
As an old fart with 60+ years of experience, THIS IS SO COOL! FSKING Awsome! Cool vid eo of a very cool project. Reuse, cheaper than e ver to do and replicate , smart folks getting to play at rocket science and making it work. We may get to Mars someday. How cool is that?

It was my poor attempt at a joke, my sincere apologies I put you through that.
Not quite as experienced as you but 15+ years in aerospace has exposed me to all sorts extremely cool hardware and still, any time I see a rocket leaving Earth I smile.
