Something Weird After Starship 31 Recovery Made SpaceX End CERAMIC Tiles…REPLAY#18
Surprisingly, contrary to expectations, new revelations indicate that parts of S31 on the other side of the world are the first Starship components to be recovered.
What’s next?
Meanwhile, SpaceX has achieved an incredible milestone with Falcon 9.
Next, we’ll dive into the details of China’s ambitious plan for its first crewed mission to the Moon.
Let’s explore all of this on today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
It’s been two weeks since Flight 6, and while anticipation builds for the next mission, there’s also significant interest in the recovery efforts for Flight 6’s key components: Booster 13 (B13) and Ship 31 (S31). Both achieved what are considered successful landings, sparking curiosity about their current statuses.

For B13, we’ve shared numerous updates in previous episodes, and it seemed logical to assume it would be recovered first. However, that assumption was mistaken. While updates on B13’s recovery have been scarce, significant progress has been made with S31. Thanks to my partner, Interstellar Gateway, we now have a wealth of images and videos providing insight into S31’s recovery. I’d like to take a moment to thank their team for their dedication and exceptional work. Their efforts have allowed us—and the broader SpaceX community—to gain a better understanding of this complex process.

The recently published images reveal key components of S31, including its COPV tanks and heat shield tiles. This evidence suggests that, while S31 achieved a remarkable landing, it was not entirely intact. These parts were recovered by the Limitless ship, which returned to port in Australia on November 23, just four days after Flight 6.
Before the mission, Limitless and its companion ship, Bagwan Renegade, were deployed from Australia to the planned landing site. Their initial role was to record S31’s landing in daylight conditions. After the landing, the vessels monitored the Ship for approximately 27 hours before commencing the recovery process.
Analyzing the hardware, the images show between four to eight COPV tanks in excellent condition, demonstrating their potential for reuse in future missions. Additionally, a bag containing heat shield tiles was recovered. Observations indicate that these tiles, particularly those from the nose cone, remained remarkably intact, highlighting the effectiveness of SpaceX’s recent upgrades. Based on footage of workers inspecting the tiles, it appears they were glued rather than pinned, a design choice that may have contributed to their resilience.

first
They may well attempt to tow one to port, but no way would they attempt to reuse it!
That is just a silly comment!
China sub is cutting off key parts to reverse engineer for their own program.
What about the Poor Banana? Oh the humanity😢😢😢😢😢 😂
Yes
I just unsubscribed due to the numbers of times you begged me to subscribe. I hear you the first time.
Yes
I remember when this concept transitioned from the BFR to starship, transitioning from carbon fiber to stainless steel, Elon Musk exclaiming that we may get away without any heat shield at all.
Today, we are discussing the the addition of significant increase in heat tile coverage, almost the entire ship will be covered in heat tiles. I estimate just over 75% coverage
Without Musk, the Chinese would still be using black powder rockets.
Yes
Chinese rockets made in China… lol, nuff said
Dragon refueling missions😮
400!!😊
Yess
A splashdown After a catch IS NOT SUCCESSFUL..ITS A FAILURE!
20:31 Bro's kid must be sleeping you can tell he is trying to be quiet while doing the voice over.
Going to mars is a suicide mission the moon should be space x first mission because no one has ever been to the moon Armstrong admitted he never went to the moon you can see this video online a really young girl was asking him intelligent questions and he told her the truth
What about it on YouTube kept begging subscribers so I no longer watch and I unsubscribed ,,,so stop asking people to subscribe or I won't be watching this channel too !
Capillary tubes running throughout the surface of the spacecraft to carry water to keep it cool. Is that what we are talking about here?
SpaceX dragon 400 launch
.
just imagine there are 400 second stages at the bottom of the ocean,,, all polluting atmosphere as they burn up
Big wow iterative design of super heavy and starship 6 missions
.
bear in mind NASA had managed to go around the moon with a crew in their first 5 missions
Apollo test flights 4, 5, 6, manned missions 7 & 8
Yes
Go Elon 🇺🇸💪
!!!I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.
Telling people what to type in the comments is cringy, smells of cultlike behavior, and detracts from otherwise good informative communication.
This video is mostly about Falcon 9 – Where is the info about starship metal TPS tiles?
yes !
This was WAAYYYyyy too long. The narration content is so wordy…. Can you say things with fewer words?
Okay after thirty five years in the aerospace and defense industry they are not building a raptor engine in one day, They are completing an engine a day.
Sense the change of NASA under Trump. May be Space X can get into the Nuclear Rocket engine development. We all need to push Congress to open this area to development. The Raptor today is not good enough to get man to Mars. It can do basic missions but NOT real Mars Travail. The Raptor is too slow for human life to move to Mars.
It would be much better to show the power of the new engines if you would tell the thrust of the first, second and the third instead of just telling us the power of the third version. Compare and contrast. Yeah that sounds powerful but irrelevant when we don’t know the power of the first and second.
Yes
F
Not really a listening to voice for an hour, sounds like your commenting on a horse race, sorry.
yes
Yes
Yes please,they are kicking ass 😎
I personally would like to applaud China's embracing of modern commercial practices. I look forward to more evidences of the Communist party's embracing of commercial practices.
just my guess why not using metalic heat shield that sheds it self long enough for its purpose and easy enough to mass produce and retrofit any design vs add more payload to add gas or liquid heat shield systems ,simple is better we dont know when those systems goes wrong during reentry
stop bullshiting in your thumbnails and ill subscribe again
Yes
What do u think will happen if New Glen’s maiden flight is completely successful?
