SpaceX’s Starbase has been a frenzy of static fires over the past 2 weeks, with a total of 40 (!!) Raptor roars in total – 7 engine fires on Ship 28, and 33 engines on Superheavy Booster 10. SpaceX also put Falcon to work, with 4 Falcon 9 launches (and 1 Falcon 9 accidental destruction) and 1 Falcon Heavy, and China launched 5 rockets too! Blue Origin made a spectacular return to flight with New Shepard NS-24, Firefly Aerospace suffered a partial launch failure with Firefly Alpha, and much, much more! Enjoy, and have a great 2024!

One omission from this video was ISRO’s PSLV-C58 XPoSat mission, which happened earlier today, but I and many other creators are frankly quite tired of trying to circumvent copyright claims from the Indian government and so I didn't include it, sorry.
Cool to see that Chinese rocket takeoff from a truck
Wdr tomorrow!!!!!
That booster test looked amazing.
+1 for the unexpected Clarke & Dawes reference!
"the front fell off" just killed me
The time frame between each test flight gets shorter and shorter. We’re gonna see quite a few starship flights this year I’m hoping! At least 3 or 4!
Loved this episode.
Now, that being said, I'm totally nitpicking, here. Massey's is pronounced "Mass-Ez". It's a possessive. In the singular it's pronounced "Mass-E". Weird American pronunciation, I know.
6:48 For anyone wondering the front is not supposed to fall of
Booster 12 getting ready for the 4th flight?? What happened to booster 11?
FINALLY
Now that ksp2 is entering its fun stage of development I'm actually so pumped for the new ksp2 videos coming out, had to make sure to turn on the bell.
Spacex ต้องแก้ไขปิดช่องว่างระยะห่างของท่อเครื่องยนต์จรวดแต่ละตัวขณะทำการบินเป็นจุดสะสมเชื้อเพลิงซึ่งเป็นอันตรายต่อตัวจรวดหรือไม่ Does Spacex need to fix the gap in the spacing of each rocket engine pipe during flight as a fuel collection point that is harmful to the rocket body?
BRUH you missed the ISRO launch
I wouldn't be surprised to see the 2nd Starbase tower finished before mid-year.
Happy New Year Matt! Thank you for all your work. Wouldn't B12 be for flight 5? B11 in a Mega Bay….
🚀👩🚀
There is one mission in the new exploration mode that seems impossible for normal human : land 10 Kerbal on Eve and come back. Could you try it?
Nice to see all engines going off without any dropouts.
I hope the super heavy test was successful as there was quite a lot of dirt filled smoke ejected
Congratulations on a year of excellent content! The KSP suffering is always appreciated, as are the space news updates. The Kerbal competition you did in France was also such a joy to watch. Looking forward to another year of space content!
live sane life
I'm glad Brits like SpaceX as I do. So often they are just thought of as an American company.
The front fell off. 😂😂😂
what about the crashed china craft on 26.12?
it fell on a village
A wheel of cheese! Lol😂😂
Is the payload going to be elon musk? One can only hope.
That was awesome seeing the sea level raptors handoff to the vacume raptors. The flame shift was amazing
10:22 Let's hear the 'fish-eye lens causing curvature' excuses when the reflection also has curvature. LoLs.
The front fell off!! Lovely reference to a lovely comedy duo!! Darn those pesky waves! Hopefully it was towed out of the environment.
That steel plate is performing like a champ
It’s been hard tracking spacex with unclear dates which have hampered the community. Glad I can always check in here to see how things are progressing!
Matt lowne is such a hottie🥵🥵🥵
At least 1058's front fell off while it was at sea beyond the environment. That could have been bad!
