Oh ya, always for NSF streams.
I am here
Yep, when I start the stream. Love NSF content.
Yes. Where did you get that intro for the stream?
I just realised I hasn't watched the catch over and over again 100 times yet today.
This will do nicely thank you.
10+ years ago, NASA did the sky crane trick. On Mars.
"slightly" more impressive.
@@AbuMohandes-p2cThose two manuevers are not the same at all. Both are still very impressive.
One of the main reasons SpaceX has been so successful is that when they recover their boosters, they can do a full autopsy on it to look for what worked and what failed. This greatly helps with the iterations of designs and identifying flaws. No other space program has had this capability in the history of space flight. Now that they have caught a booster, I guarantee they are ripping it apart to look at how it preformed.
Thank you Jack for our wonderful Monday update/review. Can't live without these!
Amazing update Jack. Thank you and thank you NSF team for all the hard work in the back ground for this update.
We were there. It was awesome!
Imagine being there in 1971. When they actually put humans driving a 4WD EV on to the moon, instead of just a short hop into lower earth orbit without humans or payload.
@@AbuMohandes-p2c We'll go to the moon soon enough, but this time we'll have a livestream and FHD / 4K quality.
This is my prediction. Flight 6 will be a near repeat of 5 with the intention of proving that the landing accuracy of starship can be repeated. Flight 7 will be the first fully orbital flight and will stay in orbit for a few days deploying a few Starlink satellites. Flight 8 will be the first full Starlink deployment and starship catch attempt. Afterwards its more difficult to predict because of the change in administration. Will NASA explore the possibility of an Apollo 11 repeat using lunar starship as a crew transport from LEO to the lunar surface? (Yes I know they would have to bring a tanker with them) If so we may see the program shift rapidly towards testing of the Starship tanker and then Lunar Starship.
How are they planning on returning starship? The same as the booster?
@@1985NEVETS Yes, it's gonna be caught with the chopsticks too, for rapid reusability: re-fueling, re-stacking and re-launching.
@@conrado3391 that's awesome thanks for explaining
Will be interesting how FTS is addressed in a full and rapid reuse environment. Handling explosives every few hours seems a bit dangerous, and leaving them on seems a bit dangerous.
Cool ! Super ! FanDamTastic !
Best time to be alive. I witnessed Saturn V/Apollo 11 as a 6 year old boy and now all these wonderful new space vehicles today.
Very informative, it's good to hear the latest developments.
Thanks Jack for another awesome Starbase Update! Thank you & NSF!
thank you jack
Thumbs up. Gotta go down there for 3 days, didn't getta see a booster 😢
Maybe we'll get one [expletive] of a *Christmas* present this year.
The old *OLM* can catch the *Booster* and the new *OLM* can catch the *Starship.*
Great schpiel, Jack! You really should be the full time host of updates. Just saying that the competition...ain't even close.
Jack is only as good as Elysia when he is his most enthusiastic self.
thanks for the deep dive
just watching and waiting
Relax... Thanks for the coverage!
(Slowly opens door to flame trench and looks around ) “yall did what now??”
Also amazing job D
Thanks for the awesomeness NSF
Dope intro animation sequence
Okay it didn't need to be this long...
I approve of V2 electric boogaloo.
Flight 6 ASAP please
We've been doing 10000+ launches in the past 100 years. Aren't you getting bored yet?
That flexible cable tray you pointed out is in fact called a drag chain.
Peace out :)
Need an updated intro video showing booster catch!
Nice Jack, look Like Harvey to me!
I have been impatiently waiting 🇺🇸💪
putting the booster down and connecting the qdc would ground the ship making it safer to remove the charges.
They are looking for the hot staging ring off shore
I wonder if they'll try to catch the Starship next time
Elon said after 3 good landings in the ocean
Definitely not for flight six but probably sometime next year or in 26
He said 31, 4 I WANT TO STAB MY EYES OUT!!! 😭
Imagine if they decide to "Reuse" the hotstaging ring by keeping a boat nearby and fishing it everytime 🤣🤣🤣
Not happening, like ever.
What an intro ❤
They caught the boostah!
He DID it. Shaaave.
they did the thing, so I did the thing
Yes
Probably didn't use the pins when lowering their catch as the bottom ring might have been slightly distorted on reentry.
The turn around time for between ifts is a month not a few days. I'm sure this will change in the future
Nope. SpaceX is running out of money. It will be bankrupt before they even get to the moon. Let alone Mars.
The mural looks like Gallifrey!
JACK!
GO S31 AND B13!
Lets go
Elon's been a bit of a embarrassment lately, but I still love SpaceX and their vision. Bring on flight 6!
How so? I really don't follow the news cycle so I usually miss the highlights
Yeah, he should lay off the K for a while and watch videos of his own past remarks. Rediscover some of those principles he championed that he seems to think no longer apply.
@jblob5764 you aren't the only one.
The SpaceX vision is Elon's vision, as he is the CEO and founder. Without him, SpaceX wouldn't exist. Starship would only be a dream without his funding and vision. Also, he can cancel the Starship project whenever he wants. he is not obligated to continue spending so much on a project that doesn't have the potential to generate profit in the mid-term.
@@hazel_2992 You're confused. Elon got the ball rolling, but thousands of people dedicated to the mission are what make SpaceX possible. He seems confused about that mission lately, and people notice. They notice when things like getting Starlink banned in Brazil happen because of his outside activities.
"First recovered super heavy booster". Nah, you have to call it what it is, the first LANDED super heavy booster. That's way more impressive.
awesome
when flight 7?
Getting things done. Respect for Elon.
The intro.
Reminds me of Pacific Rim
Flight 6 will launch no earlier than Nov 19th
I heard there was free beer?
If there were, I would have got out the hospital and been there.
When Quick Disconnect analysis? How long has it been since it was recovered?! Moved from Port of Brownsville?
Mechazilla and Mecha-Rex (?). with it's stubby arms.
Is the "Gateway to Mars" sign not there anymore? What do you mean?
yeah they tore it down in the process of building Pad B
Time to change that intro
AT 9:49 MARK: The MISSION, THE MISSION, THE MISSION == The Mural. That's why!
When is it starting
GUYS I THINK THEY CAUGHT THE BOOSTER!!!!!!
Anyone knows / confirm that the Stainless 30x steel on the Booster / Starship is the same material used on the Cybertruck?
Is the thickness of the ablative layer known? Shouldn’t it have to be pretty thick to do any good? Seem like that would add a lot of weight.
TPS total mass is 10.5 tons. Which is a lot (its about as much as a fully fueled Electron), but its not much compared to the rest of Starship
10.5 tons is a lot of payload...
@@rkan2 Not compared to 100 tons.
The FAA should mind their own business. The government can barely launch rockets
It's not the government that launches rockets, but a government funded agency called NASA that launches rockets and they have been doing it for 60 years. So they don't have a problem launching rockets. They just don't do it near as often as they used to.
thanks for the info
Hello
hellooo space geeks
Where's the guy with the beard? I liked him.
Jack can regrow a full beard in the time it takes me to just about get some stubble.
I am Jack's complete lack of beard
Any speculation why that one engine (@ 4:30 in the middle ring) is black and not 'flamey' like the others on this ring?
five of the second engine ring shut down before the rest in a pentagon pattern. Thats one of the engines that shut down before the rest, thus no flames.
bro they caught the booster
Where did the intro come from?
The Starship can launch only five times in a year. If a launch is postponed to next year, they will lose one opportunity
Any truth to the rumor that they are increasing the diameter of starship?
Of course it will 😂
they could launch b4 end of year but why rush and risk having a incident that could put them months behind
Ok
No no, not When, it’s Wen
What's up with that yellow Jar-jar hat?
Get a proper Mic so you don't shout at us for 16 mins
Flight 7 on pad B?
No, because the launch pad will take most of next year to complete plus the SQD and the chop sticks must be added.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Makes sense.
Wowswer
Flight 6 starship lands on a drone ship
Wen regrowth?
already in progress
Wen Hop
I liked the vid! LIKE EVERYONE!
I suggest a name change for your site. New Space Flight, since NASA seems to be falling into irrelevance.
NASA will continue to be relevant for some time yet as they do so much more than just prepare the SLS for its next flight.
it must be real it looks so fake they didn't pay me to say I was there
I miss the beard ... otherwise doing great
don't fret. it'll grow back. it always does
1971. When they actually put humans driving a 4WD EV on to the moon, instead of just a short hop into lower earth orbit without humans or payload.
I am not impressed by 2024 Musk.
We're going back to stay, and we're leaving you behind.
@@kv-2heavytank52 Musk is not going to the moon in your lifetime. I'll bet you 1000 USD.
