The thing about the Dyson spheres is that even if the explanations are boring that never means every single one has the boring explanation. I guess it's about 1 star in a million and maybe 1 in a million of those is actually a Dyson sphere. I think the idea isn't far-fetched at all. I've become a fan when it comes to considering the possibility.
I really hope we live long enough to see the new Venus data. Psychopaths in the US seem to be intent on nuclear war with Russia.
You don't sound like how you look
Here's the thing about the ring, I believe they should just use that along with supporting gridfins.
Hi, Fraser. I love your channel. One very minor quibble with regard to your wording… you said (right at the outset) "fourth attempt at launching Starship…" They have already successfully launched Starship 3 times. All 3 launches were successful. Again, minor quibble with regard to wording, but I freely admit I am a word N@z!, so forgive me a little bit. But for all of us word-N@z!s out there, be a little bit more accurate in your wording. Oh, and for all the "free-thinkers" out there, don't bother flaming me because I honestly don't care what you think of my adherence to accuracy and grammar, ya stinkin' hippies.
What is NASA's logic for not allowing a private astronaut, in this case the Polaris Dawn, to attempt to make upgrades/repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope? It would appear that NASA would rather the telescope fail and descend in a flaming death in the earth's atmosphere. This is a troubling action on NASA's administration.
Up till now Starship has been zero percent reusability so anything would be an improvement.
My pet peeve: The phrase "land gently into the water" is an oxymoron (contradicts itself). Rockets don't "land" in water. Better to say "controlled splashdown", or something similar

Anton? Thats not "THE" anton is it?
I've never heard an American say zed instead of zee.
What's 1 little " Hot Stage " ring. Your producer should learn to be happy and REMEMBER, Elon Musk will engineer the shoot out of his Starship; so Relax and Smile.
How big and bright is the galaxy?
Anton hating on spacex producing a YouTube show.
Things can move faster than the speed of light, velocity is relative after all, it is not an absolute quantity. The velocity of something is different depending on your point of reference. It may be zero from one point of reference, and an astronomical amount from another.
When they mean by the speed of light being a limit is the perception of the universe, not what the universe is actually doing. The reason for that is we percieve events from photons events emit, so that perception is limited by the properties of those photons. Those photons are NOT the event however.
4th "Flight"
Gee I wish I had healthcare, I'm so glad we give billionaires contracts worth billions to make garbage.
About the hot staging ring.. A lot like many of you I'm wondering why it's necessary. My speculation….
They didn't really design the booster for all the extra metal. Surely it's quite heavy to be able to withstand the limited rocket blast. So it probably affects the balance being that it wasn't part of the initial design. To make more progress faster they will ditch it during landings for now. They can revisit it in the future but it's won't bottleneck the landing progress for now. Later when they have landings worked out they will have some older prototype boosters they will be willing to risk that won't slow down the mission and then they will perfect landing with the ring. I imagine they will also try perfecting launches without the ring as well. In the future it's likely the rocket will be made with the hot stage ring integrated into the booster after they experiment with other lighter designs first.
Fraser I hope you are a supporter of free speech!
I love starship

Loved this episode, thank you
Meanwhile at NASA press briefing: "the helium leak isn't serious & won't pose any danger to the mission…" (in a high-pitched mousey voice)
– We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago –
I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010.
Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe.
Today June 03, 2024 the position of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 138 thousand years ago.
On october 13, 2026 the position of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past.
On june 04, 2051 the position of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past.
On june 28, 2092 the position of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past.
On april 02, 2147 the position of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past.
The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago.

Just wanted to say that I love the tangents/outtakes where you cut to the black and white camera for 5-10 seconds. To me it very clearly communicates that you're not just some random journalist who doesn't care about this stuff and is simply reading stories, but rather it's stuff you both have knowledge on and care about/are interested in. Someone who is just reading some stories to get more views on youtube wouldn't have those type of thoughts, they'd just read the story and move on.
Also adds a much more human touch with is refreshing in this age of AI spambots.
The ring was late addition and may have disturbed the power requirements for the booster return. Future versions could solve that.
That's Kelvin timeline, Vulcan is whole and well in the prime timeline.
12:13 "… regions of the moon that GEOlogists would love to get their hands on to be able to analyze these samples."
Amazing news, this week. Sorry for Spock… 😭
