Genius! Elon’s big solution to save 33 engines, never seen before…
SpaceX’s Starship is considered the world’s largest and most powerful rocket ever that can make Musk’s conquest of Mars a reality.
However, that ambitious goal tends to require a lot of funding to invest in technology, skilled labor, and risk in terms of time. According to the latest news, SpaceX will have spent 5 billion dollars or more on its Starship vehicle and launch infrastructure by the end of this year.
Of course, that amount is not a peanut, especially within the context Starship is still in the development stage, not yet profitable, and the company continues to pay for its failure tests.
To optimize that funding, SpaceX has to find ways to cut down on unnecessary costs on Starship or avoid stupid mistakes.
One of those is using a unique system namely Mechazilla to save the Super Heavy booster as well as its 33 engines from the risk of exploding during a failed landing.
Despite being risky, if it works, SpaceX can get many benefits from this system.
Discuss everything about this in today’s episode of Tech Map.

Is there a mechazilla on the Moon or Mars that I'm not aware of? If not Starship is gonna need legs in the beginning anyway. The booster shouldn't really need legs ever, as far as I know the booster will always come back to Earth.
Elon Musk for King 👑✨👑 King of the World
Why don't we put this amount of money into cleaning our oceans? (Where we live already) Why don't we have sensible ways of cleaning up our skies, instead we on earth are poisoned everyday from our water to our air on purpose by our own Governments. For a normal person on planet Earth, I cannot understand abandoning our stewardship here on Earth, to pollute beyond low Earth orbit with our foul trash. I'm not for it. Stay where you are and fix it. If you do a good job go beyond. If not you have failed.
Build a separate catch tower a half mile or so down the road. At least for the first few attempts. Just a basic catch tower so that expensive and hard to replace launch tower doesn't get damaged.
Has SpaceX tried lowering, with a crane, a dummy (expected) weight, at the speed expected, onto the chopsticks several times to verify the tower will take the strain of catching the booster (without) risking an explosion, as a pre-landing test verification???
its goodthat on moonlanding te rock or debree ddn cause no problems on 15 landings fo apollo in that time is amazing… and spacex is tryin o reinvent tht technolog is interesting 😊
What I miss?!? This information is years old.
6:08 – WTF are you talking about?!!! When the booster returns, it's basically empty! It's mass certainly isn't thousands of tons!!! This is the first and at the same time the last time I watch your channel! Where did you come up with 3400 tons of propellant???!!!
You can talk BS like this to small kids but not to adults!
I've got the 🍿🍿ready and the 🍺🍺chilled just waiting for the next launch disaster…. Just another Elon regurgitation YT channel all CGI and no substance….. a no brainer video.
No value in moving to mars, makes no sense where is money going?
Great innovation and credit to elon but why? Where is profit coming from? Does starlink have enough capacity to and profit to support more than one country?
WHY ? Would it contain 3400 tons of propellent ? Surely it would be almost empty ! Durrrrrrrr
I am disappointed in this video.
After viewing it to the end, i came away thinking, WOW, there is absolutely nothing new in this video. An old video repost.
A time wasted viewing

The question is how much the criminal gangster democrat political establishment is being paid to keep Starship grounded.
6:15 – Booster and ship, along with Falcon 9 all have much lower dry masses. Booster will never attempt a fully fueled landing. It is not possible, just as fully loaded airliners must burn or dump fuel prior to making unplanned landings.
Ya gotta wonder what an English teacher thinks about these ai generated contents.
It is quite improbable that all 33 engines would be burning for a landing. maybe 3 or 4. Falcon 9 only uses one of the 9 for it's landing.
Nylon/carbon fiber snare straps. Dead drop trampoline landing pad.
They should perfect the chopsticks with the Falcon 9 landing first.
See the Apollo 15 landing. The LM was tipped several degrees on landing and Dave Scott fell down when he let go of the ladder. Imagine the tall Starship landing on a similar surface. The thing is too tall to land safely on the moon.
