The final countdown to flight test 6 is on right now. We do have a 24 hour delay announced just last night so we are now looking at Tuesday 4pm local, not Monday. Will Starship Make It Through? Indeed this Starship’s Boldest Test Yet with reentry! Yep, I am so excited and we are obviously diving into these monsters arriving at SpaceX’s launch site today. On top of that they are not slowing down with those Falcon 9 launches either. Yet another frenzy setting one new record, and many more remain to be broken. Indeed, we have a lot more to cover than you may expect!

  1. A "sustainable successor to Concorde"? Sustaining what? Super rich people's super unnecessary super fast air-travel?
    I'd rather sustain the ecosphere we humans require to continue to live. Please stop celebrating air-traffic as something cool.

  2. Help me understand why they are not installing landing legs on the ship. They wont have a Mecazilla on the moon or Mars to catch the ship so why are they not designing this into these early prototypes to perfect for future uses?

  3. Thanks Marcus……These videos must take a huge amount of work ….the video quality is first rate Thanks! All these MH videos are extremely interesting and fascinating!

  4. Blue Origin has already been using Hydrogen fuel in New Shepherd all these years, so they should be familiar with it. It should be good for expendable upper stages.
    Also NASA, ULA, has used Hydrogen for upper stages because that is where the greater specific impulse pays off the most.
    Unfortunately, the SLS was built on "shuttle technology" which is as silly as the original Atlas Stage-and-a-half design and lugs the huge single HydroLOX tanks of the main stage almost to orbit. That sort of negates the benefits of the Hydrogen and makes SLS have LESS payload to orbit than the Saturn V, even though it has more thrust at lift-off. Stupid engineering that would have Werner Von Braun rolling over in his grave. (At least Convair has an excuse on Atlas. They were not sure of being able to ignite a second stage in flight.)
    But my biggest gripe with the BO Lander is the use of HydroLOX on engines that CANNOT FAIL. The astronauts' lives depend on being able to lift off from the lunar surface. That's why the wise old greybeards of 1960's NASA used the simplest engine imaginable – a pressure fed hypergolic engine. All they needed was helium pressure and valves to open to fire the engine. Imagine — all these lunar landers using HydroLOX will have to have NO fuel or helium leaks, and a working turbopump and ignition fuel to work. That's why I think that trying to reuse them over and over in space will prove unreliable. On a short mission, you can control Hydrogen and Helium OK. But over time those seals are going to break down and then all that nifty Hydrogen is going to leak into space, making your engine a dud.

  5. Marcus… I just saw Kevin [GreatSpaceX] illustrate [again] the massive fuel quantity requirements to get Starship into orbit. The tonnage/trucker fleet/etc size boggles. Then the thought occured: Elon wants to launch 1,000 starships more or less together. So multiplying the 1-shop fuel requirements by 1000. Well has anyone explained how this will be possible? Thanks.

  6. I am looking forward going back to the moon and establishing a base there and live there like we live in earth. I can imagine just looking from the moon earth how beautiful and most look thank you Elon Musk..

  7. I hate that all the work of all engineers and others in that company is now tainted by the fact that it is space karen's company. I am starting to feel like that rocket lover that hated what the nazis did with the V2. I want them to succeed, it is so cool, but at the moment I hope all tests fail, or some engineers have the decency to not want to work for the company and its ceo.
