Ship 33 has an entire row of newer, smaller tiles, and their location along a reinforced point appears to be important.
Perhaps this helps to avoid tile cracking along a high-stress point, or maybe it’s just a test, and SpaceX is fine with risking a whole ship. What do you think?
TJ is the best host
Felix where are you
Probably more uneven thermal expansion where the stringers are bc if you look the tile size matches the stringer separation
As a work mostly from home husband and father of homeschool kids myself I hugely appreciate the off screen partnering Stefanie does to making your family enterprise work, but it's also a delight each time we are gifted some of her on screen participation in this whole family space news business venture. It's very clear that y'all are a marriage match made in heaven because of your obvious shared enthusiasm and humor! Here's to many more years of Mr. & Mrs. Schlang rocking on together!!
Like @cmilkau I agree it has to do with the stringer spacing. Smaller tiles are a better more even fit in that location, I'm sure the larger tiles are a bit fiddly and risk breaking or coming off. It definitely makes sense to try the smaller ones.
So weird seeing a different person with the *exact* same cadence.
Maybe it's Mrs. Felix.
This is just felix with filter
I don’t think it’s Mrs. Felix. She looks too much like him, more likely his sister or family member.
was thinking the same thing
@@gecsus Yes
"Honey, anyone can do what you do." Felix: "prove it!"
She's even nailed the out-take blooper reel
Yup... Ignore all the drama queens Mrs. Schlang, as you did great! 🤘
Good work! 👍
She did. Better than he.
nope
What? Felix looking different tho...
yeah, so unfortunately i cannot watch this video with some strange-looking felix...
ah sickness is in the air understandable
Why is she imitating him?
Felicia?
Currently everyone over here has the flu. Give her a chance.
Felix was sent to supermarket for groceries 😅
LMAO!!!
We never heard from him since then.
@@FactBits361
Me too !
Good stuff.
@@gamerbros400
Honey, I'm going out for a pack of smokes.
He was the last seen begging for credits on mars.
Milk? Never returned?
Say it aint sooooooooo
OMG! This was the first Felix replacement that made me not miss him. Same enthusiasm and delivery cadence. Even the timing on the punch lines was on point. Stefanie, you rock!
I guess being married forever and years of editing just made this feel normal :D A heartfelt thank you!
@@damonried1720 I'm not a fan on those fake enthusiasm. Better without. Keep it real.
So much so that I question if they are brother and sister.🤔
@@stefanieschlang8975 You're looking good better than I remember, definitely a site for sore eyes and your English is as good as Felix's well done.
Yeah came here to say that
Her imitation of Felix's onscreen energy is perfect. It's like she's playing "Felix" as a character.
Maybe Felix is playing Stefanie as a character ... 🤯
Way to go Stefanie, you smashed it with this update video, as the great Felix says, you rock!
Thank you :)
@@stefanieschlang8975your very welcome!
@@stefanieschlang8975 Great work. Thank you. Although I wouldn't mind some originality in the speech and script. I also felt little rushed pronunciation. I don't think a few more minutes in content wouldn't do harm if it gave more relaxed tone.
@@jukkisvehkala
Who knows? Maybe @stefanieschlang8975 has been contributing to the script and delivery all along.
@@stefanieschlang8975 You did a great job!
Stephanie and Felix were made for each other. I love her enthusiam matching, and exceeding Felix's at some times!
Felix's transition went nominal
This is so awesome to see your wife doing an episode. Just like it was really cool to see your daughter saying "Starship Updates" some months ago. Love the fact that it's truly a family show. Good job Felix.
I, for one, welcome Mrs. Felix
I for 130 actually .
Maybe Felix becomes Mr Stefani
@@johnbeckman492Felix IS Mr. Stefanie!!!😂

is the Matrix broken, 🧐 I can feel it's Felix, but he looks clean shaven 😂 maybe I am in an alternate reality 😂🤣
She ROCKED THO, WELL DONE!!!!
Thank you emmanuel! Brain wave syncing over years and years of living together xD
There has been some concern about the amount of oestrogen getting into the water but I had no idea things were this bad/good.
Landing a rocket in those chopsticks is like a Matrix thing. 😎😎😎
What a pleasant surprise, nice to finally get to know the woman behind the man. Glorious job Stefanie!
Like they always say, behind every successful man, stands a startled woman...
Thank you, Jesus
@@stefanieschlang8975 🙏🏼
Aw man! It's Buddy Jesus!
Felix is looking a little more pleasing on the eye
A lot more p;leasing 😂
💀💀💀
He transitioned, he just didn't want to announce anything and wanted us to figure it out on our own.
sounds better too lol
Felix who?
Wow she nailed Felix's speech pattern
We got our very own block 2 Felix😊😊
Awesome job Stefanie! Nice to see the family business growing. You guys make a great team. Love seeing the channel grow and crush it over the years. Such amazing progress. Cant believe its been more then 4 years Ive been enjoying and learning from WAI. Looking forward to seeing more of you!
I almost didn’t watch, but glad I did. Mrs Felix did a great job! Very pleasantly surprised. She got that Felix energy too. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Yea, it took a couple minutes and then it was kinda fun! Good luck to her!
@@Hoaxer51 yea same with me 😅
Who needs Felix, we got Stefanie. Great job both of you!✅
Wooooohoooo awesome episode Felix shaved 😂🎉❤
Thank you! Yeah... new hair, new face... I thought I'd change it up a bit. XD
@@Whataboutit how did you change you voice? did you take some opera lessons 😂
@@Shattered3582 Southern accent FTW 🙂
@@BBBrasilI would guess RP education
@@Shattered3582 that's autotune!
Long time listener, first time poster. Stephanie, you make my fingers sing! Just had to type to tell you what an amazing job you did hosting this episode. You made your hubby proud, great work! We hope to see your enthusiasm and passion more often here. Thank you as well Felix!
Nice job Stefanie! Great episode!
Yeah. Give us more episodes and tell Felix to watch the kids !!!
I find it fascinating that her accent is slightly thicker than Felix, but at the same time her English pronunciation is more consistently correct. (At least to my American ears)
Felix, we regret to inform you that your position is filled 😂
Stephanie, it's about time Felix let you host his show. I hope you had fun, and it was great to see you. You rock! Best, Tony
Hi Tony, Ok Tony
The most impressive thing this week is a VERY short failure turnaround. For perspective, the space shuttle had a 33 month haitus after the challenger accident
The challenger RUD was an institutional culture failure. There was literally nothing wrong with the vehicle. They literally KNEW it needed a cold weather hold and launched anyway...... Kaboom.
Excellent debut Stefanie. Let's hope we see more of you (no disrespect Felix)
Excellent job Stefanie!!!
Nicely done Stefanie!
You did an absolute fantastic job!!!! Hope to see more of you.
Took me a while to realise that this was in fact Stefanie! Lol
Hello 👁
Stefi with the same infectious enthusiasm and joy, great! I somehow expect to see the little ones working their way into future episodes.
You killed it Mrs. Steph! More of you with Felix please. Long time watcher, rare commenter. (As in I comment rarely, not that I'm rare)
Stephanie at the helm - what a natural 😊 Together with Felix, that's a Schlang Dunk! 😂
😮She kidnapped Felix
I wonder if the Schlang's talk to each other the same way they talk to us? That would be weird.
Well done Stefanie!
Nice job! Huge energy fit for reporting on Spacex's warp speed advancements.
gotta love stephanies enthusiasm, input stephanie, input!
“You’re … you’re not Felix/ Ron Burgundy”
Please let there have been some outtakes with Felix crying in a glass cage of emotion as Stefanie stole his news.
yep yep, blooper reel!!!!!!!
Way to go, Stefanie! Fantastic job on a fantastic update video!
Great work on hosting the show!
GREAT JOB, Mrs Felix. Awesome update. YOU ROCK
She is a great match for Felix's on-screen enthusiasm
Now I see why Felix always seems to be so Happy.
Well done on this video, WAI team, and welcome to the camera, Miss Stefanie. We are Pleased with
all of your hard work and dedication, keeping us informed.
Felix, you are a Lucky Man, and I'm sure you know it.
Oh yeah, we are eternally happy with each other, super glad we ran into each other xD
@@stefanieschlang8975 Congratulations! I am SO happy for the both of you. Ya'll seem to belong together.
I'm in awe. Their cadence, delivery, and accent is IDENTICAL 😂
Didn't see the blogger when I hit the story..Within a few seconds ...New it was Wai...Same verbal accents...Let's dive in!!!
Stephanie and Felix needed to play paper, rock, scissors to decide who was taking the kids back to school shopping and who was going to do the video
Probably very unlikely, but I think he reason there is new mini-tiles is because this will be the first ship to return to launch site. After it does they can examine which tile method is more effective.
There’s optimism for you. It may end in tears. WAI?
The welded junction, between the middle bulkhead and the two main tanks, *_interrupts the internal stringers._* The external top-hat stringers transfer stress around the interruption and join the internal stringers, but this increases the external hull diameter. This leaves less thickness for the tiles above them.
This hull junction also has quite intense vibrations transferred from the bulkhead.
Being scaled far smaller here, the thermal tiles are getting much greater strength, while the increased number of small gaps allows more resiliency.
It also makes me wonder if Felix adopted Stefanie's speaking style, or vice versa :D
Great job, I really enjoyed this episode!
My guy Felix kicked back with his feet up like “way to go honey, you’re doing great”.
You are very good!! Sound very much like Felix haha. Same enthusiasm. Like you have been doing this for ten years.
I didn't think anyone could match the enthusiasm of Felix, but Stephanie nailed it!
It occurs to me that SpaceX may be missing an opportunity--test thermal protection systems on the launcher legs.
I think the pressure from the engine exhaust is much higher than re-entry, so it might just crush the tiles if you tried to put them on the OLM legs.
Ten bucks they tried it already. Maybe just unofficially, but I can't imagine them missing that idea.
@johnbrobston1334 Do a web search for Arc Jet Facilities. "Arc facilities are unique in their ability to reproduce thermal environments simulating flight from Mach 8 to 20 for the long exposure periods required to validate thermostructural performance and survivability of materials and components."
@@thamiordragonheart8682 Precisely. If they can take that kind of a beating reentry is a piece of cake.
@@johnbrobston1334 but by the same token, if they can take that kind of beating they're probably significantly heavier than they need to be for re-entry, and given how much surface area is covered in tiles that's not an insignificant amount of extra mass cutting into your payload.
Love the family business. She's a star! Hope you feel better, Felix!
Thanks Stefanie. You do so much for WAI off-camera, it's great to see you on it once in a while too.
I can see the possibility of the chop sticks, so long as there is no problem with engines during the landing burn.
She's done a seamless Felix replacement 👏 🔥
Great job SpaceX and Mrs. Felix
😂we need a video of both felix and Stef as hosts on a particular day
love the energy... would love to see a Schlang family live Q&A
Well done! Stefanie brings the enthusiasm and professionalism we've come to expect from WAI.
Did felix get a new haircut?
Yes. I noticed this, too. He also seems to be wearing some sort of puffy-front modified t-shirt. IMO, Felix has never looked better.🤔
Rogaine, I think.
Lol
Ummm..... A wig, tennis balls in his T-shirt, pitch changing microphone, still something I'm missing......
Sehr gut, Stefanie!
Hello Ms. Whataboutit 👍
Great job Stefanie! Makes me wonder whose the primary script writer in your dynamic duo!
Ha! Ms Shlang. about time good stuff
Mrs
Felix, you owe Stefanie big-time. She did a great job on this one.
Thanks Stefanie
I didn't expect expected IA to be this advanced! Does not look like Felix, does not sound like Felix but it is exactly the same cadence, script and even same jokes and connecting points. Good job Mrs. Schlang!
You did a really great job!
Hats off to space X for fixing the falcon 9's second-stage engine within 16 days of the failure. most companies can't even launch 2 rockets in that time frame!
A giggapress is obviously going to be on the cards for the dome.
Zero welds.
Very informative episode. And what a great presentation! You rock, Stefanie!
The catch depends highly on engines not ingesting bubbles and have enough fuel! They should aim for the ocean and if relight works they should hover towards the pad
I was quite worried about CO2+H2O ices building up in the main LOX tank, interfering with the engines. However, the new COPVs feeding pressurant gas to the dedicated landing tank reassures me that landing thrust will be trouble free.
@@imconsequetau5275 very good point, I think they put big metal meshes over the intakes and in the pipes to break up the ice
@@briangman3 I think the stainless wire mesh does not break up the ice, but only excludes larger clumps. Ice accumulates and may clog the filter.
Each engine inlet (and filter) is set above the tank "floor", above where dense (CO2) ice slush settles. Filters may abruptly clog when the liquid propellant sloshes and brings that concentrated slush to the inlet. When a filter is clogged with too much slush, the oxygen inlet pressure drops and triggers that engine to shutdown.
If too abrupt, the engine will RUD which maybe is what occurred on IFT-4 during the landing burn startup.
@@imconsequetau5275 I modeled fluid flow in oil in the pipes, really depends on speed of flow but your definitely on the right side, got to simulate with all the conditions it to really know
@@briangman3
Yeah. SpaceX simulates a lot. But in the end, they always run real world tests to be sure. IFT3 had Starship engine failures before shutdown. That is why the filter area was increased so much on IFT4, so the engines ran great even up to shutdown. Good job!
But the booster restart revealed an isolated engine RUD during landing. That is why the IFT5 landing is going to have such thorough precautions with clean LOX propellant from a separate tank.
Watching from South Africa. Good job Stefanie. 🎉
ah yes hello mrs felix scheng
Well done, Stefanie!
Good to finally see you out from behind the camera!
I think I accidentally found a video from an alternate universe 😂
Great to see Felix getting a rest from the algorithm. Your replacement did a great job, I like the way she speaks with the same enthusiasm.
Stefanie was this your first time doing a recorded WAI episode? You did really well 👍👍👍🎉
Oh my God, you absolutely rocked it! Great job. I nearly lost it when you moved the rocket with your hands!!! can’t wait to see you and Felix do a tag team episode.
FELIX, YOU HAVE BOOOOBS NOW ?
That's the main difference. Well spotted.
I hope I am not alone in this, but I am so excited to see New Glenn fly. It is just such a cool looking rocket, and it will be interesting to see if Blue Origin will be able to rise to the challenge of being a real competitor to SpaceX.
😊improvement on Felix
I have a feeling the whole Schlang family is going to be narrating these videos for decades to come.
Should make it a duo presentation in future.
Awesome job Mrs.Felix!! For a first time hosting this is a great job. Lots of details and technical info to get across. Also, it didn't feel like you were just reading a script about an area you had zero knowledge of. Your enthusiasm and ease of talking (in a 2nd language?) made it feel like you understood the subject matter - which is kinda important to most viewers I would think.
5 stars 🌟 - good job!
EDIT: oh and 21 minutes is no short runtime for a YT vid. Thats probably a few hours in the hot seat delivering your lines with all sorts of do-overs and script tweaks and re-takes.
Seems you're a natural!!
Very good job stefinie
Excellent episode, full of new and interesting info. Massive congratulations to Stefanie for a great job. 👍
Cute. Nice delivery. When can we expect to see Stefanie at Starbase and Base Camp Zero?
We have visited many times already! Some trips alone, some family trips 😊
@@stefanieschlang8975 - Hope to y’all down there sometime around a week before the next launch.
? WHERE IS FELIX???????
No Caps, please! I'm right here! I traveled to California for the 2024 X-Takeover! My wonderful wife jumped in for me! Go easy on her! It takes A LOT of courage to do this and she dd a wonderful job! :)
@@WhataboutitTHAT'S you wife? 😮
Nice score 👍😁
@@Whataboutit how long did she practice? She has all your nuances, and we feel right at WAI home. You need to worry tho, she did great! and we have found your replacement 😂🤣
Great understudy Felix.
So many Anchorman vibes… she stole your news Felix!!! 😂
Can we get Stef more often, please. Your energy is awesome and amazing.
Wait a minute - you are not Felix!
She is Felix's wife
Felix is in a glass cage of emotion because the man punted Baxter.
Never thought I'd see the day Stefanie presented a full episode! (unless I missed one?)
Nice to see WAI getting more of the crew involved in presenting :D
That fence would be a great solution for the border. ❤
I wasn't watching at the start, just listening. At first I thought my sound card had installed a voice modifier. The script was the same, the deliver was the same. The timing was the same. Even the sad jokes were the same. But it sounded different. Then I looked at the screen. Wow, Jessica Rabbit talks rockets, a revelation.
Give that girl a gold star! Awesome job!
❤️
Wow Felix got a massive upgrade. This is the Felix we can really get behind😊
