SpaceX makes progress towards their next flight of Starship. Will this be the booster to fly it? Pad B is nearing completion rapidly, while revealing a few surprises! Booster 17 is halfway done. Will it even get the chance to fly? The next generation of boosters takes a giant leap closer to reality!

Hey Felix,
I must admit that it is more and more challenging for me to watch your videos since Elon hast been completely unhinged in past months. I've been keenly watching since SN1 and I really really enjoyed your enthusiasm and passion about space travel and I so share that.
My issues are the new developments with Elon (e.g. him endorsing die beschissene AfD).
I know that your Channel is a news outlet about everything "space" but since the core of WAI always has been SpaceX i feel that there is some responsibility to put things into perspective. Reason for that is that you portray their work overwhelmingly positively (mostly rightfully so).
I dont want to tell you or your team what to so but I want to give you some insight into a German space nerds thoughts. I can imagine that it is a sensible topic and it is hard to maneuver with the positive character of the channel. Nevertheless we are not talking about childish Elon-jokes and business decisions. The scope of things have changed I guess.
To finish up… I personally would love for you to give your opinion about current happenings and maybe be a little more critical here and there.
Best wishes
Martin
Would it be interesting to take a piece that came back from space and put it on the can crusher and see what it got worse? Or how many flights you're into it you can then can crush it.
I would bet Roberts road in Florida gets its own raptor factory. You can't just keep transporting one a day all the way across the country just build them in Florida too.
Bought some stuff on the Wai store. I live in Canada and paid my money exchange no problem. Then j got a bill for customs. An extra 45.00…… Just be careful Canadians… Was a very expensive t-shirt and coffee mug.
I would be interested in a discussion of finances. How much does all this cost? How much money does Starlink generate? How much is coming from NASA? It would be interesting to know.
Why do you need a script writer? Can you not get your sycophantic propagnda directly from Elon or a trusted cultist? Having said that, Super Heavy and Starship are simply a crap design, it's a pitty Elon never watched Space 1999, I'm sure if he copied the Eagle transporter he would of reached orbit by now!
Maybe if we taxpayers throw enough money at it we can see 1 orbit 😢
I'll bet that the split flame trench turns out to be garbage, with the apex not being up to the task of splitting the thrust which by definition is more than the weight of the ship and booster.
Per me they need Starship with better tiles or thermoprotection. Booster is fine.
Hey, I've got an idea, why not lift the booster up away fwom the pad by lets say a hundred feet?
The TeraBay when?
What a big waste of money, with all the homelessness and suffering in the United States and the World, you could be doing a lot more good than trying to land on the moon, Human Beings don't belong in space or the ocean, we can't even take care of our own Planet!!!
The unnecessary comma in the title is totally grinding my gears man. Great video though, I like the way you present your news. Keep it up!
Most important lesson from Starbase: DON'T build and test rockets anywhere near a town. Too many Karens.
"The bigger, the better!"
…but also…
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
When that thing fails, they better have a backup.
"SpaceX continues to impress with their vision and commitment to space exploration! 🚀 Their innovative approach is truly remarkable. What specific improvements do you think the new Starship Booster will bring to the table? 🤔"
Spacex put a big swastika flag on the moon 😂😂😂
Have a few mobile launch mounts so they can be refurbished and still be able to fly
I want to join WAI !!
Don’t you think it’s time to address Musk’s insane behavior. Especially you, as a German.
18:10 ….and its obvious spacex will destroy the green areas and cut of all the trees to Dill the ground with concret
When was the launch date? I went to make breakfast 😮
Where can I by a small copy of the hole stare base including everything like Lego?…
maybe they should move the booster QD to the opposite side of the pad ( away from the tower)
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
I look n wh
O
When Starship comes in for an ocean "landing", why don't the make the ship hover above the water for an extended period. Perhaps at 100-200 meters? Make it hover there, video everything you can while it exhausts its methane/oxygen, and then attempt a "landing" in water, just before the fuel runs out.
Even if they only get 5-10 extra seconds, surely that is worth it, instead of "crashing" it into the water with a lot of fuel in the tanks.
Hi WAI Team, how do I apply for the role to join the team??
what if space x uses one of falcon 9 as their side boosters with the superheavy itself 💀
Nice to think the Idea supporting you in the Team. But for sure i am to old 😊
