Why it worked
The video likely performed well due to the visually spectacular and rare footage of a Starship landing, combined with the impressive display of the Super Heavy booster's engines. The use of dramatic on-screen text and the association with Elon Musk and SpaceX would have also contributed to its reach.
Summary
The video shows dramatic drone footage of SpaceX's Starship as it lands, with intense engine flares and water spray. It then transitions to high-speed footage of the Super Heavy booster's 33 Raptor engines powering up.
