Watch the three center engines on Starship’s upper stage gimbaling just after separation. Right before they ignite for hot-staging, the engines angle themselves outward to direct their exhaust towards the vented interstage before re-centering for ascent.

Very spectacular, but unfortunately a render rather than real footage.

Is created by Alexander Svan / @AlexSvanArt, see:

Both posted on friday, a day before the actual event, with description "20 seconds from a parallel universe where Starship's OFT-2 and hot staging happened today. Best wishes to SpaceX for the upcoming Orbital Flight Test 2!".

EDIT: I was wrong, the link points to a video posted by SpaceX themselves; it's real footage, not a render, after all.

Are you drunk? This is posted by SpaceX official account

Yes, I was wrong, I'm sorry for it, and I already acknowledged I was wrong. No, I wasn't drunk; mistakes happen.
