Space-X is is p[retty damn smart, esp in the use of S-Steel. Thy Got Some Thermal/ Structural Engineering to do., HOWEVER "HOPFULLY" they will 'Avoid' the use of "FOAM" and "Brittle Seals" as NASA did — cost us 14 Lives.
Felix is becoming a real seasoned journalist.
Has it been suggested using the heat tile around the legs???
If you want people to subscribe you should point out where the subscribe button is but it's hidden on beneath the bell so you really can't see it…
I believe SpaceX will be able to catch the rocket booster until they get everything right.
They had oil platforms…one or 2 tower sections would do it..Hang off the side….Get Ryan Hansen to animate
why dont spacex put a cover on the Ship QD like they have with the booster. Or at least have it swinging away much faster than its doing now?

What about the flame diverter in the OLS2? Wouldn´t it make sense to install it before the legs?
How many years until they start building legs back onto the ship?
I brought my girlfriend out of bed just so I can watch with her your reaction to the space tile plans for a 2nd time 🙂
How about using TPS tiles on the OLM?
80K heat shield tile repalcement. May I suggest reuse of those around OLM or OLIT?
A 26 vai seŕ tanque de combustível para abastecimento em órbita de outras naves estelar.
Can they not simulate the tower with cranes or something and attempt at a removed distance somewhere?
If anybody can pull it off, it's Elon.
Good thanks as always, Felix
SpaceX is a perfect example of the saying that there are no mistakes only lessons.
SpaceX: We make it up as we go!
Move the SQD to the opposite side of the pad. Pitching the booster won't affect it then. KISS
ablative makes sense it is the perfect form of the heat shield tiles or metal the best way to shed heat 😀 just think as they burn off the heat they lose weight to slow down 😉
They should do fatigue simulation using numerical methods for reusability, not only experimental pulling back
Ship 26 doesn't require heat-shields or flaps as they aren't required on an "Orbital Tanker" that won't be re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Catch only tower…How else would Elon deliver Starships from Texas to the Cape. It's just a short hop.
exciting times ahead!
I can't wait for "fight flive" either lol. Just joshing you brother, love the channel!
Woah…. how does an ablative heat shield fit in with the once a day/ totally reusable turnaround thing? Ans. It doesn't . Yet another gradual withdrawal from a Musk lie.
I think ship 26 will be used for an inflight refueling test in the future
Though out Humam near history chemical propellants have been most uncompromising, expensive, and useless. Want to go to Proxima Bravo. Then stop your bullshit and get the collective act TOGETHER. Otherwise you will be lost in your own doing.
I dont like the BQD design at all.. using flex hose instead of a solid pipe feels like lazy design. A design similar to a sleeve valve seems like it would be far more robust and provide its own valve functionality.
thx dear Felix
Each liftoff has shown the Elon has built the world's largest cutting torch! Take that, OLM! Surprised SpaceX hasn't come up with a way to use it for cutting up old tanks, etc.
Why don't they use the Tiles on the Quick Disconnect ?
What a magnificent phallus 😮☝️🦸♀️🤔🚬🔥💩🏁
