What do you think? Is ship 26 a fuel depot or something completely different?
Thanks for using the metric system 👍🏻
The ship 26 is a Alien ambasador station
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
I want to believe 26 is a fuel depot. That ship variant is critical to so much of SpaceX's starship plans that it only makes sense to begin work there.
SpaceX will also need a refueling depot Starship (RDS) in orbit to go to Mars! 250 extra tons to LEO gives SpaceX a good start on refueling. 350-400 tons should be enough to give the Delta-V for a cargo mission (8 months transit time) to Mars. And another 500-600 tons would allow a 3-4 month transit time (or 100 extra tons of supplies on a 6 month transit).
Nuclear propulsion using nuclear explosions does not deliver mass to accelerate but nuclear or cold fusion energy usable fot endless drive not loosing any mass simply accelerating mass like Hg in ring then shoot into attached tubes filled with water for linear slow down driving into direction shoot Hg back in cycle into ring accelerator with counter rotator usable also for Hg punsh fusion in H2O and for Hg-197 epsilon decay gold.
Can a Starship land on the moon without a landing pad?
Hi, I like the Shirt. And of corse the Video 🙂
If the ship is to fly it would have the support at the flaps for the chopsticks to be able to lift it.
It is curious that everyone talks about methane and hydrogen transfer, but nobody addresses the mandatory oxygen transfer as per NASA award.
Edit: it is sensible to send a rocket with less oxygen and more hydrogen/methane, than complete combustion ratio in LEO orbit. Oxygen boils off less easily and can stay parked in LEO for longer, unlike both combustibles.
Not if and once, but if and when! Ab und zu machen Sie ein Fehler auf Englisch.
Thank you for update. Very interesting. M

It makes sense to put some empty hulls in orbit. Refueling, storage, space station hulls, orbital garbage collection scoops if the top could be opened. Chinese and Russian satellite collection if they get ugly with SpaceX satellites. SpaceX satellite orbital defense platforms.
Felix, you don't understand what the word "prototype" means.
There is only EVER one (1) prototype of ANYTHING.
Everything else is "test items" or "development items".
Words are important and they have actual meanings.
Why not a 12m wide fuel depot and send it up with 2 or 3 Falcon 9 boosters attached to the side of Starship booster? OR use solid rocket boosters to send it
I think it's a throw away craft. I doubt they would use it for a fuel depot. They would want to have more test runs. It will crash off the coast of hawaii or burn up.
I wonder when he will fly?
F*c AWAI adverts.
Why were the samples left on the ground? Saving energy?
26=water tower😜
they need to chooch a bunch of frigsakes up there first, these guys, they send this stuff and stovepipe their sisters but dont kajigger the hootenanny, i mean they can do it, why molest the K9 and wind up in the rhubarb? They've got powder donuts up the gazoontite, that's why, they're choking on free clams
26 is just a test ship, i guess the others have had leaks just like the SLS
I'm thinking it's a disposable test prototype. Just demo an obital flight, then burn up. Oh yeah, it is fully capable of re-entering the atmosphere without a heat shield 🙂
Fuel depot
Transfer is down in the skirt
The first starship lunar is going to be painted with the nasa colors and landing gear
I imagine there are rapid iterations since we are so early in the game in the Starship program. I imagine there is some fundamental change made to the Ship, whether A.P. related or tank reconfiguration, structural changes to reduce mass, etc. To reduce cost of launches. So i doubt 26 will be launched. Or possibly re-static fire of booster with ship on top? How are they doing with engine production cadence? Will be interesting to see what they are up to
I really enjoy your videos! Pretty excited about the upcoming Starship launch in march (hopefully!!)
Felix ,, I am not sure if it is because you deal in crypto , or just have friends who do , but it is easy to see that your comments have been taken over by crypto folks , my experience is that it corrupts my internet site , I am sorry to say that I am inscribing .
That's why NASA also wants Bezos rocket, cause it is hydrogen and you can manufacture hydrogen and oxygen on moons surface, mining water locally and splitting it with electricity from solar panels. For methane production you need CO2. Of cause you can recycle human produced CO2 waste, but that"s not enough, may be some fecal bacteria. Well hydrogen manufacturing in easier to get in space than methane, I think. No complex reactors, just electric splutter and there is lots of solar energy in space. You can get 80 percent more in space from the same solar panel
I hope the first human landing will be within 5 years, otherwise I might not see it. I have been dreaming of this since the days of Rocket Ship XM.
It's probably just to test the launch system without wasting more money than necessary…
Will starship ever be completely smooth? with no hints of welds?
Why use meters
And miles per hour???
Use kilometers plz..
Makes it easier to know how fast it was going.
Instead of using these banana measurements
"Test pad A" / "Test pad B"
That would be the natural names for those pads, I guess.
Maybe just use these names and everyone would know what you mean.
26 could be just a test Consider you have two things: a booster and a Starship, each worth their weight in gold pressed latinum. Would you want to risk destroying BOTH of them the first time you attempt a launch? Or risk just ONE of them plus a throw-away cheap dummy load? I would definitely go with the dummy load! That's my guess. If I'm wrong and it's something more useful like a fuel depot, and it all works, awesome!! I'll be happy to be wrong. 🙂
Build it 100 ship to launch
Thank you Felix, you rock!!
I like free things and WAI 😅
My thoughts that the ship w.o heat-shields will be testing landing, or should I say get caught my the mechazilla. But since this ship doesnt have any flaps, it might be constructed for some other mission. Lets stay tune and watch how it progress during the next couple of week/months. Cant wait for the big launch this spring. Keep up the good work Felix, this channel is one of the best news channel for us in Europe.
FJB!
It'll be great when they figure out instant communication with quantum entanglement.
for all the scammers out there please give your all money i will multiply your money more than you does with crypto.Trust me I am a honest man
