@@simongeard4824 I wouldn´t think so. The Lunar Starship will feature many elements that the regular Starship will also have - and now NASA is going to pay more than 2 billion dollars for the development.

What is going on right now is history But unfolded before our eyes This decision can mean a brigter futura for Both Starship and the Artemis program🤩🤩🤩 Absolutely historic. CONGRATULATIONS Spacex and NASA for making the right decision.(As of now)
Now that I think about it... Scott Manley, Marcus House, everydayastronaught, nasaspaceflight! So many great channels just pumping out awesome on the regular!
Watching your videos are one of my highlights every week! Thank you and the WAI team for giving me and others a happy break from the "normal" day in these covid times. Stay safe!
I watch all of these videos, and it is almost impossible for me to keep track of what SpaceX is doing! So incredible to see all of this progress, thanks WAI for helping to keep track of it all!

Just doesn't seem possible with 28 engines and so much weight !! Truly mind blowing . I'm just blown away I'll be here to see it all happen, and thank you for bringing this to us to watch !!! Please keep up the great work !!!!
@Game Over I'm thinking that the version with all 28 engines on liftoff is meant for the far future when orbits past Mars are being established regularly. In those cases you could really use the huge acceleration in the first minutes to fling yourself further while still having a full fuel tank.
Informative video. When doing comparisons of changes - place the old configuration on the left, and new on the right. This will make the FROM -> TO changes easier to interpret.
Remember, #dearmoon is due in 2023. This required a mature vehicle, certified for human space flight. THIS is the ambitious goal. Any other deadline devolves from that.
I thought about coming out of retirement and doing TH-cam stuff, but WAI and others already so such a fantastic job of reporting the news. Thanks! The rest of 2021 will be incredible for both SpaceX and Tesla (Well done Gwynne/Elon & Teams).
Thank you, vielen Dank aus der Schweiz, Felix! Im watching your Videos multiple times sometimes, and I couldnt be more grateful for all your posts on youtube and your interaction on twitter with your followers! SpaceX‘s „project“ (Starship❤️🚀) is one of the few reasons why im keeping it up through this though times, like many of us.. im just grateful that i found this community so i can share my love for space travel and the discoveries we get through them, so i can share the inspiration we get through achieving futuristic and impossible seeming goals by sheer will, and so i can share my fascinating for the engineering masterpiece happening in front of us, which is evolving minute by minute every day. Keep up the great work, you rock! Kind regards, yours eren from zurich EDIT: also thanks to the hole community! Every streamer and everyone who just wants to be inspired, who is interested, or who joins this road :)
Breaking news! According to Scott Manley "It sounds like SpaceX have won the competition to build the Human Landing System for the Artemis program, beating out Blue Orion’s National Team and Dynetics. It’s still unofficial, but I’m hearing the Congress didn’t give NASA enough money to fund any option and SpaceX dropped their bid low enough that it was the only possibility. Will find out more in about half an hour." Wow!
Another great video. Improvement: At the 5:26-27 mark you move from the graphic to your face before the viewer gets a chance to visually take in the "16 days" that are mentioned and cognitively process that information. If you're talking about a graphic or picture you should always match them with the verbalized script so that the viewer has sufficient time (a few seconds?) to mentally process both the aural and visual information before moving on.
Conspiracy theory: SpaceX purposely launched SN11 in dense fog to be able to test the termination system without giving the media footage of the explosion to show over and over again out of context. Think about it... 😅
What a great episode again, thanks Felix. The SN15 vs SN10 comparison was very well researched, impressive news. And yes, they‘re made like grain silos and yes, it all works out in the end 👍🏻
“The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”
Hi, Felix. your channel is very good. And let me tell you that when you started I didn't have many expectations. however today it is one of the best. The truth was not going to tell you this but when you said that if there was something we did not like, we would tell you about it, so just note in the comparison of the sn10 with the sn15. I would only put the sn10 on the left and the sn15 on the right. it is just a matter of order because of how we begin to read from left to right. It may be a small thing but for me it is very important haha. Thank you
One small suggestion before they launch people is to have at least one successful landing. Yes, that would be a good thing - at least one successful landing first.
If you meant crew starship, their plan is to have at least hundreds of successful landings using cargo variant and making money doing it before even applying for manned flight licence.They probably launch successfully over 9000 of starlink satelites using starship before that.
Hey WAI team. This episode stands out for its Quick paced editing, great writing and narration (thank you Felix) and of course, great information and footage. Congrats team. mVm
Good info about what to expect. Hopefully SN15 can launch next week. Others and myself were curious why BN1 could be repurposed for a GSE tank or two instead of getting scrap. Thanks for all your work Felix. You rock!!
I 'feel' the orbital launch coming closer. Man o man, what a sight it will be to see the full stack fly upwards and then the two parts coming back in each their own unique way.
Jeez, I stop tuning into space stuff for two weeks and already this has happened. just another reminder not to underestimate the efficient and fast pace of spacex.
This company is fantastic. Just think how long ago (or not) we were only mulling over welding problems, now we're refineing and fine-tuning/tweaking. This thing makes Concorde look like a Bi-plane, so be patient! Best of luck SpaceX team!
"18 Possible launches this year". I have to disagree with this, there will be more. Because if SpaceX can nail the landings of Booster and Starship, they will start testing their turnaround capability, so expect a faster cadence for the launches. Keep up the excellent work, Also when do you hear about your bid for a Dear Moon seat?
I would like it a lot, if space x would sell parts of exploded/disassembled starships. They would just have to cut it in small pieces, put a nice packaging around them and put them up for sale. It really wouldn’t be too difficult and they could make a ton of money. We on the other hand would have a nice souvenir, that kind of proves, that we were there, when one of the most important inventions in space industry ever has been developed.
I can’t believe this NASA picked spacex for its human lander . Go starship and go space x . I would say personally it was the best decision they could have made and I thought they would have given it so blue origin as they had multiple companies involved with them . Exciting days ahead for spacex can’t wait . Nice video btw keep them coming .
Thinking about it, the main point of the legs on the booster would be to absorb impact. When Musk says he wants the tower to 'catch' the booster I think a landing pad that has a bit of give in it could be what he means. If it were a grid pattern to permit thrust from the booster to pass through it and was on hydraulic rams 20ft high it could easily adjust for any imperfections on the rocket motors and provide a smooth catch. The tower could then be used to prevent tipping if necessary. That seems like a much more plausible answer than catching the booster in mid-air - absorb the impact and restrain.
A first demonstration flight for a Super Heavy Booster and what it could look like when it happens. Do you agree? Is there anything you’d add?
Hola
Love you‘re Videos
I'll add... HYPE HYPE HYPE ! =)
Like a incredible big Explosion (i Hope Not)
It’s going to be similar to falcon 9, one or two crashes at the start but then a perfect landing :D

damn SN11 feels like a forgotten starship after this video
SN9 is similar, since it didn't go as well as SN8
SN11 didn't make to Valhalla. Only Starships that hit the ground intact are worthy of Odin's company. SN11 is somewhere in limbo.

Being of a certain age, I can confirm that.

Great work, Felix and team. Thankyou.
I’m going to see it in person. I’ll upload a video of the launch from south padre island.
Just make sure you're safe from the inevitable flying debris. Should still be awesome though dude so enjoy it!
It's amazing how, without fail, every new prototype on the pad just fills me with hope.
I like watching "oldest to latest" in that order....it's just me. I read from left to right, oldest to newest, but it's just me.

Thinking about it, the main point of the legs on the booster would be to absorb impact. When Musk says he wants the tower to 'catch' the booster I think a landing pad that has a bit of give in it could be what he means. If it were a grid pattern to permit thrust from the booster to pass through it and was on hydraulic rams 20ft high it could easily adjust for any imperfections on the rocket motors and provide a smooth catch. The tower could then be used to prevent tipping if necessary.
That seems like a much more plausible answer than catching the booster in mid-air - absorb the impact and restrain.
