Launch Film
Ember Launch. Starship Flight 5 At Starbase, The First Super Heavy Catch, October 13, 2024.
Film by Adam Grumbo
SpaceX flew Starship Flight 5 from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, at 7:25 a.m. Central Time on Sunday, October 13, 2024. Space.com put liftoff at 8:25 a.m. Eastern. The stack was Super Heavy Booster 12 under Ship 30. All 33 Raptor engines on the booster ran through ascent.
About seven minutes later the launch tower, called Mechazilla, caught the returning booster in its mechanical arms, the chopsticks. NASASpaceFlight wrote that Booster 12 translated between the arms after the landing burn. Ars Technica, reporting from Boca Chica Beach, called it the first time a Super Heavy had been caught at the pad.
Ship 30 continued toward a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean. Wikipedia's Flight 5 table lists booster recovery as a success at Orbital Launch Pad 1 and the ship as a controlled ocean landing. Kate Tice, SpaceX manager of Quality Systems Engineering, said on the live commentary, "This is a day for the engineering history books."
Who Hired The Camera
A launch cut has to hold the vehicle, the tower, and the people on the ground. The brief for Ember Launch was Flight 5 as it ran: stack on the mount, ignition, and the catch.

Everyday Astronaut frames sit under the stacked vehicle and the tower. Ignition fills the dusk pad. Later holds sit on the silver ship in the plume, cameras on the coastal grass, and the chopsticks closing on the booster.
The cut also carries 60 Minutes interview frames of Elon Musk, National Geographic watermarked reaction shots, and Lex Fridman at a studio desk. On-screen type dates the catch to October 13, 2024.
What The Film Delivers
A launch film has to make the pad and the catch readable in one piece. Teams hire us when a morning like Flight 5 needs a cut that can travel after the window closes.
