Great. This episode is sponsored by a Company that sells Razors and is presented by a bloke who is noted for his luxuriant beard.
Gives a new meaning to the word 'Irony.'
(per ad) $0.10 razor blades. Someone knows what business they are in.
Dude with a beard advertising razors.
@@Adrian-qk2fn That bloke shaves his head almost daily. -kmr
Hey Jack, your beard is growing fast...
Mine is still prettier :)
Their should be a “Grammy awards” for engineers and the team working on Raptor 3 should get the “artist of the year award”
and an award for NSF team
Don't sully engineers with something like the Grammys.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 i never said Grammy
The Brunos?
In the UK. Going for a "Clap test" means something very different.
Please elaborate
@@Cristi4n_Ariel STD test for gonorrhea, colloquially known as the clap. 😉
@@Cristi4n_Ariel From what I got off the internet, "Clap", in the UK apparently, is slang for "Gonorrhea"...
I'd 'like' your comment but that would spoil part of it's humour.
@@oldmanstumpie1061 I, being a spoilsport, liked it to 70. Such a cad...
Wow! Those two towers make a perfect frame for your video! Thanks to the NSF team for another excellent update!
The chopsticks catch test should be called the Miyagi Maneuver.
Technically... wasn't it Daniel-san who caught the fly? Beginners luck!
@@JayneCobbsBunk Daniel only started trying it after witnessing Mr. Miagi do it first.
Best advert for a shaver from a person with a beard brilliant
He may shave elsewhere...
Thanks for making a space channel that people from Gen X can watch without cringing.
If Mr. Miyagi can catch fly with chop sticks...
He didn't though, Daniel did and he called it beginners luck! 😂
Thank you for another awesome Starbase Update & Flyover NSF! Great to see Raptor 3 testing taking place also!
Ha ha Jack advising Henson shaving, we need a demo please!
@HensonShaving really knocked it out of the park with this sponsorship!
Who better to represent your brand but "I'm not shaving till flight 5"
Jack! He even removed his hat and neck gator for the spot, so we could
see that gorgeously smooth as a baby's bottom neck of his - and I got to
tell you, I was SOLD! I bought four sets!!
Thanks @NASASpaceflight !
I got my AL13 23 months ago and I still don't need a replacement box for the blades! It's such a great product.
I asked for a 13, but they drew a 31!
Great report ! So many things going on at once in SpaceX !! Innovation execution.
1:58 what a beautiful shot! 🤩
During shooting the footage of the spin prime, there must have been some wicked thermal effects at play. Ship #30 looked like it was swaying from side to side. It's amazing how much the soup we breathe can impact what we see.
Great show, as usual. Thank you.
Wind shaking the camera.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 Jello lens?
@DavJumps CMOS sensor jello effects, more likely.
Thanks for all the ideas. The only thing I could think of was a mirage-like effect, since the pointy-end was moving significantly more than the flamey-end.
@@EMichaelBall Ah, that's what I was going for. Thanks.
Not gonna lie. That catch with the chop sticks terrifies me.
Why? No one can get injured. Damages can be repaired.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 I guess I’m worried the tower will get slammed.
@@Zeett09 And that's why they've got a couple spares!
(also, they are made of thick steel filled with megatons of concrete. They'll be fine.)
I think they are taking a risk putting their only working tower in harms way. The second tower will be done in a couple of months, but the OLM will likely not be done until Xmas. Thats a big delay if tower A gets disabled.
The hirsute Jack spruiking Henson shaving seems a match made in heaven. Jack can grow a beard between episodes
Great update as always Jack, @NSF crew! These are so appreciated, and informative. Of all the developments this week, seeing the Raptor-3 fired up is probably the highlight! "Works pretty good for a partially assembled engine." DANG! Does it ever! Getting excited for IFT5, definitely. As this rocket gears up for full scale production, we are going to see more and more flights regularly out of there. All the progress is amazing! Thanks y'all!
Whoa, the heat shield removal looks like a massive pain.
I Told You they Needed a Flame Trench! As an Old Boomer who saw the original Mercury, Gemini & Apollo Missions, the fact they didn't think they needed one was an Obvious Blunder The Test should be called the Mr. Miyagi Maneuver...
The fun thing about science is you don't know what's possible till you try it. All credit to them; they dared where no one else has. I'd say that philosophy has been working out pretty well for them!
Slap-sticks testing😊
Well Done Jack, you always such a good job! Thank you
I’m definitely team “slap testing” 😁👐👏
Great job Jack , do more updates
Great round up of the recent events, thanks Jack and the NSF team.
Way to go next level NSF
So the phrase "Ready to Fly" is replacing the original Two Weeks™ comment prior to IFT2 :)
Thank you Jack for the latest flyover views and SBU.
Oh no…two weeks is definitely still a thing.
🤗it’s like a land of breathing dragons when they fire 🔥 those 🚀 up!
It is hoped that a starship weighing 20,000 to 70,000 tons can be designed and manufactured as soon as possible, which is equivalent to designing a submarine and aircraft carrier that has space speed/can move at extremely high speeds.
"Ready to fly" means no "Showstopper Issues." Vehicle has passed all testing with no issues found that would stop launch.
Ok seeing two OLMs is actually insane! and is an EPIC background for a starbase update. I cant wait to see 2 full stacks one day.
There's a reaaly old Shirley Ellis track called " The Clapping Song ( Clap Pat, Clap Slap ) " . That could be worked into the soundtrack of the chopstick catching sequence.
I love the intro music
starbase update with jack is so much better
Can't wait for starship flight 5
Hey Jack, thanks for that awesome update ❤. Looking forward to the Catch Testing 😊
Jack and NSF, y'all rock! Peace
thanks for a great update as usual things are really moving along
If Jack had shaven off his entire beard with a Henson shaver, I would have bought one!
Boom Testing!
Spanking the tank..
Bearded man is slowly reloading 😎
Call it the Mecha-Grab!
No matter how you cut it, attempting to catch the super heavy booster is a big risk. But if handled normally, normal for precautions while launching of super heavy rockets, not an extra risk to lives.
Catching Super Heavy is both more and less risky than it sounds. One one hand, it's a big vehicle that could do a lot of damage if it hits the tower with speed.
But on the other hand, it did make a controlled and soft splashdown so it won't smack the tower with speed.
The catch pins look tiny, but are massive. They're the size of a coffee table. And they added some hydrolics to add wiggle room for the catch. 15 degrees if memory serves me right
@@snakevenom4954 " Coffee table sized," still seems to leave little room for error. Wouldn't be shocked if eventually the grid fins get buttressed- at least as a contingency.
@@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328 It does require accuracy, but for such a large and heavy vehicle that doesn't move too much from wind, it's extremely accurate
Precision and accuracy is required in positioning both booster and arms, fortunately the error in feedback is -only- [less than] 2 cm using *_Relational GPS_*
Don't forget that if the booster rotates even a tiny bit, then the profile of the catching pins is greatly reduced. The booster has to be almost perfectly oriented to maximize the catch surface area of the pins. This will be a nail biter for sure. @@snakevenom4954
Wow! Raptor 3 is a true thing of beauty in it's "simple" elegance & just a masterpiece of engineering. Gonna be hard to top this one Elon!! - But I bet he does...
Imagine how many miles of pipe must of been laid...electrical cable etc the amount of material used in construction is mindblowing.
Get that guy some new pants lol
My big concern with landing on the pad is the sonic boom it's already quite loud for a F9. I would love it but I don't think the general populous would
BBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
(Repeats 10x per day)
Just to let you know. At time 5:54 Jake repeats him self about the tiles. First time in all the clips I have seen this
You should talk to Dana White about getting the Chopsticks on his "Power Slap" show. HaHa
Excellent update. Looking forward to the flight soon.
As the boosters are the base of the rocket stack, I think the testing should be called Slappa Da' Base...or Bass, take your pick...
Blimey. More adverts than superbowl on here.
Bro.... where do I find the Raptorside chats? Not anywhere on my membership feeds... am I blind lol?
Agree, I also don't see any Raptorside.
Raptorsides are live on starbase live on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8pm gmt
I don’t think they put them up to watch separately
I meant Thursdays oops
@@ellemaryxoxohow in the hell have I been a member for almost 2 years and this is the first time I have ever heard of a schedule for them? I thought they were just random.
Thanks for the update and views 🇺🇲🇺🇦
SpaceX gonna make it clap.
Great show Jack, I even watched the ad.
Maybe the arms will be a "clap trap"
Steel clad with concrete and in salty sea air.....hope its well done or I see invisible corrosion issues in the future - maybe its only a 10 year lifespan? Giant trench next to the tower foundations and its all sitting on sand. They are pushing all the limits.
Excellent stuff bro
I've heard several people try to repeat Gwen S's words, but none have gotten them right. It's not a quote when you paraphrase.
Exactly what she wrote was shown on screen at 9:38. Jack just corrected her grammar (replacing "good" with "well") when speaking. Not a big deal.
Wow!!!🎉
Excellent coverage yaĺ!!!!
Catching a booster is just mind boggling
She said "works pretty good" because she meant to. She knows the correct word is "well." She was trolling by implying "we don't know how to speak good or build stuff, but it works pretty good."
Love the videos keep it up!
looks like a slap test to meeeeeeeeeee
9:20 Sorry, what? Where in the world are the raptorside chats, then? I can't find any
I don't know too lol
I would like to know as well. I haven't seen one posted in almost 2 years.
@@dr4d1s NASAspaceflight clickbait? 🤔🤔 Maybe they will post them again
@@MKJ8888 It might be for high tier members?
(Or just a mistake on Jack's part)
@@bryanillenberg Who knows
During Spin Prime Testing, I understand that the tanks are loaded and then LOX and Methane are pumped through the engines without ignition. This means there is a significant amount of Methane vented to atmosphere. I understand Methane is also vented to atmosphere to regulate pressure in the fully fueled tanks. How much Methane is routinely released during the entire coure of preparing one booster? Multiply this by the projected increased incidence of Starship launches and how much Methane will routinely be released during the course of this program going forward? Methand is 10 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. I would like to see an episode focusing on this detail. While I have seen videos discussing the ecological impact of rocket launches, none have touched upon this detail.
It's somewhat hard to quantify-we don't have complete specs of the craft or procedure, but I've seen estimates of between 85 kg and 171 kg (2,125kg / 4,275 kg CO2 equivalent, respectively) of methane being vented from a single spin prime test. This seems like a lot, but it is in the ballpark of a single cow's annual methane emissions (100 kg avg.).
It's more per launch, likely 7 - 14 times as much as a spin prime, but the livestock analogy can help put that into perspective. For further perspective, 25 starship launches with associated testing would potentially emit 30,000 kg (30 metric tons) of methane. Annual losses from natural gas production are around 49.2 million metric tons.
Hard to know how to feel about this overall, but it has to be said that we tend to derive a lot of technological benefits from space research, which may accelerate technological solutions to some of our energy and emissions problems (such as moving away from fossil fuels in general, and energy production from natural gas in particular).
Happy Slappy? 😊
How do we get the tile glue to let go?
Well, we could apply heat. Oh right.
You use more force than the adhesion force of the glue.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 (whoosh)
I feel like Tory Bruno is just being sour grapes about SpaceX's advancements 😂😂
I think he just didn’t believe that was possible. It went Beyond his comprehension without seeing it.
Did someone do an „in fact“ counter? 😬xD
Worried about sound effects on hardened encased concrete. May turn to crumble? 17:05
This is the technique they used for the current OLM legs.
@@ReinReads It's the steel that makes the structure strong; the concrete just makes it heavy (and gives it an awful lot of impact absorbing inertia). Even if all the concrete turned to dust inside, it'd probably still be fulfilling its purpose.
Of course, I was never trained in civil engineering, so I of course have no idea what I'm talking about. Such is the internet these days.
So, where do the Raptor-side chats gets posted? I ask because haven't seen one posted since right before Chris G. left for SpaceX. That was almost 2 years ago.
Are you a member? If not you can't access them.
@@Barthhhelona Yes, I have been a member for almost 2 years now. I saw that they uploaded a handful of raptor-sides to the members section today. I appreciate the help though. Have a good one.
@@dr4d1s no problem!
So shaving became a part of your routine.... I see 😅
His elliptical dome gets the shave.
@@davidg3944 I was going to bemoan yet another post pointing this out, but you redeemed yourself with a nice turn of phrase.
My friend says why are you watching these videos with attention are you a fan of Rockets....?????
Me - No I'm a fan of sci-fi.
This background music makes me wanna sing Barry Manalow directly into my ladys ear..... from 1 inch away 😂
I prefer "chop testing" as they ARE CHOP sticks
The bearded guy advertising a razor feels wrong lol
I bought four sets!!
Surprising booster doesn't get hop-to-catch tests.
The clap trap.
Novice question. Why not skip V1s and next fly V2 Starship? Waiting for Raptor 3? Cheers!
Yeah
Looks like they only just started testing R3 number 1 ... so they've probably got a long way to go before having 39+ flight-ready R3s ready to go. Plus, they've still got several hundred Raptor 2s in inventory to burn through.
Mechanical sea-lion impersonation
I say we call it a 🦭 seal testing
"Clap testing?" No. Sounds like something you do with a schwab.
I always thought that NSF was kinda selfdeprecating NASA's motto. "Not Safe For..." And that you can easily update what it is not safe for. "Food" or "Space" "use as medicine" or "work" even. the last word is left from the abbreviation, because nobody has time to read it, before they get vaporised.
Yours is ok, but kinda tame. I much prefer my version.
I'm here for the local accents, or lack of accent.
Thanks,
(not that there's anything wrong with....)
Jack is the preferred presenter.
how many more launches until the earth wobbles too much?
Great update Jack. Thanks for
I thought WDR was mandatory per NASA.
NASA doesn't really control how SpaceX does space things; except on flights where they are providing the payload. And then they still usually let SpaceX be SpaceX.
Clap testing sound wrong…
Flight 5; Ship 30; Booster 12; so far
Flight 6; Ship 31; B13; hmmm
Flight 7V2; Ship 33; B14
B14.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 Thx
Tory Bruno makes his own engines currently though, right?
Where do you think the "Jeff, where are my engines?" meme comes from?
Nope
@@bryanillenberg And before that, they used Russian engines.
Well, they still are, actually.
Including me😮
Did anyone see if there are new 3D animation videos of how the catch mechanism works? No rollers, anymore or tank threads I remember? But cushioning pads now?
There's a rail where the lifting pins will "land" on, nothing about tank treads or anything. The pads on the sides of the landing rail are to soften the contact force when the chopsticks slap the side of the booster during its descent
thanks
The tank threads were replaced by pads at the end of long screws that can push the hooks of a booster back or forward if they need to move it. They work like a bench vice, just much larger.
Slapchop™️.
bacon drips on your shirt Jack
I say "Grab" testing, or "Clasp"!
The "Clap" is a disease!
Seriously, nobody made a comment about Jack his dirty t-shirt ? :)
