Welcome back my friends. My do we have a lot to catch you up on this week. Surprising changes to SpaceX Starship have been Unveiled! Why are they doing this? Along with that we have Incredible Pad B progress as we prepare for static fires again, a brand new test tank and even more Starship Block 2 hardware making an appearance. What about Falcon 9 though? Is it still grounded? Or are they back in action already? Indeed, we have all of that and so much more.

Why not de orbit the space station into the sun ?
It amaze me quick progress of Starship and Starbase but probably lots of money goes into that project what is future who will open lots of doors no doubt and what its good thing. Mostly new thing cost a lot so funded is needed in many areas that they succed. All those many and dont succed but progress on rocket is large so that is good for hope of humanity that they will lived something great in future close…🍃🌱🌿☘🍀🍂🍁🌼🌺🦕🦋🌍🇭🇷🇺🇸🇪🇺🍇🍌🍓🥦🌽🌲☀️❤
USA! USA! USA!
Your truly appreciated Marcus
Absolutely love your updates , I’m no rocket scientist , but feel like one after your presentation acoverage , commitment loyalty is undeniably evident
Much respect
Why didn’t they build their launch facility in Florida?
Marcus.
Start a petition to preserve ISS as a UN protected monument.
It should be included with the Luna Human Landing sites as major achievements in human history.
Send the ISS to a higher more stable orbit and moth ball it until StarShip and other bring down the cost to preserve it or turn it into a remote facility.
Just a slight correction, the vehicle to deorbit the ISS doesn't "push the station down", it basically puts the brakes on, slows the ISS so it can no longer stay in orbit. As you're aware, it's velocity that keeps the station in orbit. If you want it to deorbit, you just slow it down.
Marcus if you can you should livestream IFT-5! I think we'd all love to see your live reaction and it'll be a really good place to watch it.
I know how they can get that extra money fire 🔥 then they have the money 😅
How can you call Arian 6 a success when it didn't deploy two payloads?
Legend 👍🏻
Seems like Marcus got cold
De-orbit the ISS? It feels like they just build it …….
4:35 This is LONG overdue. A proper exhaust trench!
i want time stamp, 22 minutes is too long
why do they have such cliche names for all there buildings. Star factory, star ship. Bit space age isnt it. anyway cool star ship is getting along well. good luck with the whole mars thing though. not much opportunity for making money there
When I saw the centered flaps on the top of SS I couldn't understand why they weren't placed out of the way of the flow at least the hinge part of the flap. But of course Elon knew that right after the first orbital test…
Australia could never be a competitor to Spacex. In the time taken to construct, deliver and assemble a launch tower we would still be carrying out the paperwork. For your safety.
So if the ISS is decommissioned in 1930 and Boeing Starliner – for the time being – is not expected to launch crew to ISS until 2025 or 2026, that doesn't give them many crew launches for the $4.42 billion which NASA paid them for development of the capsule.
love the space ex ad flyby on the truck crossing the scene @7:44. the framing was perfect.
they should drag the iss to da moooooooon……
Great video update once again, Marcus. Thank you!
Space travel is starting to look like space travel again. Go!Go!Go!
Thanks for sharing those pics celebrating Chandra's anniversary! Much appreciated. Fantastic update video, cheers!
Thanks you ❤
Great show!
Wow!! Just Wow!
ISS deorbit: you don't "push it down into Earth's gravity well", that would make the orbit eccentric. You simply need to reduce its tangential linear speed. Then it starts to spiral in to a lower orbit matching that angular momentum. If that is low enough to get some atmospheric friction it will find itself in a death spiral.
It's a shame they can't do something else with the ISS
A huge shout out to Marcus and all his team! Your channel is the only channel I always watch every week. Your coverage of SpaceX as well as all the other space and science related topics are always excellent. Thank you for all the time and effort you and your team put into each video and keep up the great work!!!
Excellent coverage of the most relevant space news, thanks!
Spacex just need to make a giant marshmallow now
i think space X should get the viper and land it as a test for the lunar starship
@8:05 Only 40 to 50 Tones?
WAI said it was as much as 150 Tones to orbit.
Anyway, 50 is still enough for Human life support and controls.
But still no human escape system for this heavily pulblicly subsidized companies private ventures.
Gods speed Polaris Dawn.
1965 Technology reinvented in 2024.
Except this time four lives are at risk in a two person space walk.
What could go wrong.
Remember. everything you see in these videos. everything. every minor detail. Every nut me bolt….. some day needs to happen on Mars… yeahhhhhh not in our lifetimes I’m afraid.
Congratulations on the pronunciation of Josef Aschbacher. Arschbacke (which is what I clearly hear you say even after multiple listening attempts) means "Ass cheek". Cheers from the german-speaking part of the world ^^
So, I’m guessing they will finish the 2nd tower before the next launch and use it for the catch attempt. It’s a bit further away from the tank farm if they RUD the catch attempt.
The tower doesn’t need everything a launch tower does, just the catch arms & winch.
Moving the flaps always seemed obvious to me. Hinges have always been problem just get them away from the worst heating
Call the first tower Barad-dûr and the new tower Orthanc, the twin towers!
I would design the rocket with a telescopic structure, featuring inner and outer tubes in nested cylindrical sleeves, allowing it to expand and contract in length. Similar to an expanding aerial, this design lets the rocket function like a caravan that grows in size upon reaching its destination. In its compact form, the rocket is solid and aerodynamic, suitable for launch and flight. If the nose cone were made slightly larger in diameter than the rocket, it could slide down onto the rocket and clamp in place. In space, this nose cone could slide up, extending the length of the rocket and exposing more of the rocket cylinder. The now exposed part could have any shaped door that was not previously exposed to space. This transformation allows the rocket to shift from a transportation vehicle to its intended functional design, with modular compatibility enabling attachment and detachment of different modules, enhancing its versatility and functionality. When the mission requires, the sleeves can retract, restoring the rocket to its compact form for further travel or re-entry, ensuring both versatility and safety throughout the mission. Additionally, in the presence of debris or meteors, the delicate entrances to the interior are shielded by the more robust outer shell.
As for the flaps, they should be eliminated to simplify the design. The nose cone should not simply be round but should start with a tip, then form into an oval shape, and then back to fit the round shape of the rocket. This means the nose cone will act like a wing. By spinning the cone on its axis, it can divert the flow of the atmosphere to control the flight path.
I made the suggestion 2 years ago on X about moving the flaps further up so that the hinges would be out of the direct flow of plasma lol 😄
Will SpaceX develop truly reusable heat shields? Cause I'm not sure they even exist right now.
Looks like the Sharships shown have been through a lot – there are a bunch of dings and dents (possibly some due to where something may have been attached inside) E.g. at the two isolated bolts on the untiled portion at [7:18] and top of the cylindrical portion at [8:42]
I'm really enjoying your content. It's authentic, well delivered, timely, and informative. Thank you 😊
I'm sure SpaceX, in collaboration with TESLA, could build something 100x better than VIPER for 450mil. And, I'm sure it would look incidentally better as well. I wish they'd pick it up.
🤛🏼(▨_▨¬)🤜🏼 I'm feelin' that SpaceX rhythm. ⛽⛽✈🚀🕛🚀🕜🚀🕚🚀🕘🚀🚀 ⍼
22:32 WTF is the "opposite side" of the Observable Universe ??
They need to spin ISS before deorbiting it.
68 rpm.
So much moar!
Either Launch with VIPER or No Launch, any other combo seems stupid.
