If you haven't seen the video yet... it's amazing. The re-entry in particular had amazing footage. Looked like something out of a sci-fi movie.

View on HN

Definitely the coolest space video I’ve seen yet! Watching the plasma burn through the flap towards the end was unreal

Could you provide a link?

I'm on a work computer currently, but search on youtube "everyday astronaut starship ift-4" or similar.

It is frustrating that SPX wont stream these on youtube themselves. I think I counted 4 or 5 fake streams with a total of 1m viewers that were just bitcoin scams. Everyday astronaut and nasa spaceflight seemed to be the only ones with legit streams.

They streamed the first one on YT, but have since moved to Twitter

It's almost expected with Elon owning X. The platform may really have the ability to challenge Youtube for live video things. The infrastructure and dev capability is there. It may well reach the value that he paid for it....

It seems to work great for live content, but doesn't seem to allow for rewatching. Hence people here in the comments linking to YouTube videos.

It does support re-watching:

You can also watch it - the same video stream - on SpaceX' site:

I hope so. Seems like youtube is decaying is it goes for more of a tik-tok style approach and with loads of AI spam. Doubt Twitter will be any better on this though :-/

Around 8:50-10:00

This is the official stream.

If you prefer youtube, these are probably the best 3rd parties:

* Everyday Astronaut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VESowgMbjA

* NASASpaceFlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTkhv4fvOgA
