So I went, it was amazing. People as far as you could see. The crowd excitement was palpable. It was a roller coaster of emotions -
>Seeing raptors ignite
>Think they shutdown
>See Starship start to rise
>See Starship start to go sideways more than up
>Clearly crooked
>Starts burning up engines, going really really slow
>Never looks that far away
>Starts to spin
>Is this gonna come back at us?
>What the fuck is it doing
>Explosion
The whole thing from our perspective looked out of control, I'm surprised they didn't blow it right after liftoff. The entire time it looked like it was absolutely crawling and struggling to gain altitude. Maybe its was just the sheer size of it made it deceiving. It also wasn't as loud as I expected. You could feel it in your chest but I saw the Shuttle and that was deafening. My theory before I heard anons theory in SRB sound was the viewing area for the shuttle was downwind, whereas Starship we were parallel with the wind.
