SpaceX conducted recovery operations for ship 31. How did it go? The first parts for a possible block 2 boosters were spotted, and you won't believe how big they are. Parts for a new launch mount were spotted, and this time, they aren't at Starbase. And Rocketlab made huge progress with Neutron.

What do you think the piece of mystery Hardware is? Do you think it's a piece of the Block 2 booster or perhaps a Pathfinder tank?
Felix I am sorry but the information on your T shirt is not entirely correct. Raptor 3 is not meant for interplanetary travel, at least not for fleets of ships. It's too expensive, and is seen as an intermediate solution. The successor, LEET (1337) is going to supply the thrust and Isp needed for a Mars round trip, at 1/5th the price of Raptor 3 ($200,000).
so you still support piracy by pushing vpns not surprised
*forget the catch gimmick land the ship on to the skirt and or engines onto a metal plate drilled with holes to reduce exhaust blowback*
Thanks Felix.
BTW, I already have a vacuum cleaner, so you don't need to try to sell me another. 😉
I have Surfshark 😅alr
I'm afraid you neglected to look at your channel analytics once more.
I was once again afraid you forgot to check your channel metrics
can't wait for the day he says it's over 3 million. soooon
I won't subscribe just because of this mention every video. It's also no true that I need to be 'subscribed to keep up to date', even without a sub the videos always end up being recommended. 🤷♂
@@beeman-dev If i remember right getting a click from recommended is BETTER for channel than getting it from a sub. But thats surface level and trust me noone knows how this shit works XD

I love how when I see NASA build rockets they are like "we need to build special vehicles to move parts" and SpaceX is just like "Strap that thing on the back of a F450 and get it over there".
NASA did that when there was no other way to move the parts. And NASA tended to build things that worked exactly as intended the very first time. They did not have to blown up 20 of them to figure out what to build.
@@christopherpardell4418 No, NASA didn't "build things that worked exactly as intended the very first time" , SaturnV have test flight too.
Why would you think they didn't?
@ I watched them. Their TEST flights flew perfect. Just like SpaceX’s Crew Dragon did, because for a crew capsule NASA insisted they engineer and test it THEIR way, instead of the clumsy ‘guessing at it’ method spaceX has taken for Starship. Seriously. NASA built a rapidly reusable launch pad in 1963 capable of handling a dramatically more powerful rocket. SpaceX has spent FOUR YEARS building a single use launch pad that requires millions in repair every time it’s used. Why? Because Musk decided he didn’t NEED to have Water deluge and a flame diverter, like Every OTHER large launch provider had figured out before he was born.
Over the past 4 years that Musk has stubbornly tried to prove his BAD idea for a launch pad could be somehow made to work, SpaceX COULD have been using Falcon 9’s to test smaller versions of Starship to discover what does and what doesn’t work. y’know, BEFORE building an entire launch facility and 24 rockets, NONE of which turn out to be Big enough, or strong enough to lift more than a single banana to LEO. Much less land on the moon. At his present rate of burning thru cash Starship will be 8 years late and cost 7 to 8 billion ( 5- 6 billion over budget ) and to get ONE rocket to the moon- it will require 20 starship launches. Artemis went WAY past the moon with a fully functional capsule on its FIRST attempt.
Fact it. Musk is NOT a genius. He is not even bright enough to know that vaccines save lives, or to check with a lawyer before making a joke offer on twitter that t turned out he cold be legally force to honor. Maybe that’s why a bunch of SpaceX engineers signed a letter to the board asking Musk be removed as CEO. Like he was removed as CEO of PayPal only 6 months in.
@@christopherpardell4418 troll
Somebody let the troll in. Talking about you SpaceX being late and over budget, when they are ahead of Boeing, ULA, Russia, China, India, Arianespace. But somehow the SpaceX approach is wrong. Does Elon try innovative/unconventional ideas that occasionally don't work, yes. But being traditional has left the rest of the industry far behind.
The tower is the same height but the mount is lower down making the tower taller relative to the mount compared to tower 1
Was just going to say that.
Yeah I was wondering why people are so confused why the tower isn't taller when relative to the mount it is.
we dont know how high up the table will be
Considering they dug a giant hole where the mount will be, it should be safe to assume it won't be as tall as pad A
@@nightmarepkmn yeah thats called a flame trench, and it will still be at the same overall height since the SQD is at the same height too, so it will probably be around 4 meters lower accounting for all the changes and assuming that the SQD is level unlike on pad A
the american space industry is one of the most exciting things happening in the world right now. Hopefully with slashed regulation it will accelerate
The Waterworld clip was perfect timing, got a real world LOL
Saw that too, I LOVED that movie, still do, shieeet
06:54 Remember when: top domes were welded together from pieces of sheet steel?
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Felix, I love your excitement, wonder, and enthusiasm. It's infectious!
Thank you i love this show! Every time i watch it i feel optimistic for the Future!
Love your animation of the 14 Falcon 9s! lol Can't wait to see Block 2 Booster. This video is awesome! Thanks
@@StarShipWatcherVaderJEJ 3 Saturn 5 to
Thanks for the update on the Rocket Lab Neutron program. I have great hopes that RL will become the next "SpaceX' and carve out their own niche in the launch market. If Neutron is successful it bodes well for their future.
Thank you so much for covering other companies in the industry, especially Rocket Lab! While people continue to act like Blue Origin is somehow a competitor to SpaceX, Rocket Lab is the real deal, and their current technology and future ambitions are already rendering Blue Origin's non-existent advancements obsolete before they even reach the launch pad. At the same time Rocket Lab has found niches in the industry which allow them to exist alongside SpaceX rather than be decimated as a direct competitor. Rocket Lab is currently near the top of my list of companies that I really want to work for.
The two towers are almost the same height but the lauch pad is lower on tower B right ? that would compensate the difference in size of booster block 1 and 2
That was exactly what I was thinking, Other than having a crane lift each starship into place, there’s no way they would build a block 2 unless they had the means to mount them. I think it’s a safe, bet that only tower to in the future will be able to launch them until modifications are made to tower one.
Don't know why, this vid gave me pure joy!!!
Thank you Felix and team! Send my best wishes to your wife and family, supporting you on this.
You're pure class in presentation! 😅
I think you're right to be honest.. The booster engines and engine liner (I dont know terminology) get so hot you can see it glowing upon re-entry. Using what they know from Falcon 9 can be useful to see how to design starship to help. Given the oppurtunity to be able to use new hardware not previously placeable into Block 1 boosters, they can now start working on mitigating heat to the engines and everything. Especially with those sexy new engines..
NOOO THE BANANA SANK!!
Yep. The first hero of the plant kingdom drowned. Such a terrible story.
the epic saga of the banananaut
I'm dying lmao😂
And his name was "Bob".
Yeah, Bob!
But the story is still apeeling.
Felix......I think most of us love your knowledge and upbeat attitude during your descriptions of the proceedings! Thanks for all you do!
Perhaps Tower B isn't as tall as we anticipated because its OLM isn't going to be as tall as Tower A's OLM. Just wondering.
Yeah that's probably why. Considering the fact that they had to dig a hole in the ground.
A real pleasure & fun to watch!
Thank you & your team.
Thanks Felix!
There's something everybody keeps forgetting when we talked about extra tanks that are appearing on the site that might be a little larger than we should need. We are going to have to refuel in space very soon. These could be part of the internal refueling system of one of the starships.
I considered that possibility when I first saw the tank (I think Lab Padre showed it first), or...it could be for some other purpose at the site.
Rumor has it block 2 Starship will be capable of crashing 2 bananas into the Indian Ocean
Please stop the “channel metrics” man it annoying to the people who are subscribed and returning to watch your videos
Bro, It's a very small segment, He has bills to pay... very few people actually dedicate their life to reporting news let alone aerospace news! Bare with it! Might be annoying but it's reasonable.
@@leonardoaleman8243 honestly not really
lol, glad I’m not the only one petty enough to grumble about the channel metrics. Saying you rock starts to loose it’s originality after a few hundred times too. 😂 Still appreciate the effort they put into their frequent updates. They ROCK.
@@CameouoRemember that 1000 clicks yield about 4$, plus what Surfshark pays them, plus the merch… a channel like that is a gold mine. They don’t NEED more income - but who ever turned down more money, right?
Annoying to us people who aren’t subscribed, too. 😂
It's a total redesign of the tank layout, to get more fuel and oxidizer in to the Raptors, while also changing the 'Center of pressure vs center of mass' of the ship for more stable re-entry, and allowing the LOx to keep the CH4 cold for longer.
It's a tank-inside-a-tank design, so both tanks are full height and both feed the raptors from the tank bottom.
The Down-comer (down pipe?) running through the middle of the lower tank becomes the inner tank. It'll likely move mass from the shared bulkhead int he middle of the Block 1 design, in to the wall of the inner tank, but that tanks wall can also be a lot thinner as the pressure difference between the tanks will be far less then that to the outside.
It'll also reduce the need for braces to support the mass of the top tank above the bottom one during fuel loading, and shorten the run from the QD Panel to the inner tank compared to a pipe to the upper tank. Plus the sharing of both top and bottom domes is possible, reducing mass once more.
Enjoyed the info on the space stations. Thanks
Just wonderful to see how far he came.
Yes, from Germany. That's pretty far (from Starbase)
😆

Not just for them new glenn and the rocket labs neutron should be launching next year too
9:54 those triangular variants of starship looks good.
NAH 7:45 IS CRAZY

@15:00 "But there is no point in having a pad if you don't have a rocket to launch it from." 😆
Now THAT would be a neat trick!!!
1:54 "A literal bag full of heat tiles, A bag full of heat tiles HA HA HA." Dr evil has arrived!
Love the Channel Metrics Dude ! So Super Cool ! Great Info !
I am pretty sure Sir Peter Beck told on recent interview with few retail investors who follow the stock here on TH-cam, that their full focus is on Neutron for re-usability, so Electron being re-used is probably not going to happen (anytime soon) at least for now.
Yup; don’t think they are doing any real further work on Electron reusability at all. That may be a mistake; but that’s what’s (not) happening. - Dave Huntsman
correct- full focus on Neutron
It was 2.8 mil last week and the week before and the week before that.
For a year at least 😜
That thruster prototype was super cool to see!
Danke Felix für diesen mal wieder hoch intreressanten Beitrag!
ABL After 2 failures: I Want my mommyy Astra after their rocket failed 4 times and bankruptcy : ………meh we will try again
Love your videos. Keep up the great work team!
Thank you! Will do!
thank you for covering the space station industries
Do you mean to tell us the banana was lost! Woe! Oh woe! The entire cargo, gone! ;)
"FELIX'" your show is better then a major movie you never fail grabbing may attention or keeping me on the edge of my seat you rock AND YOUR DRUMER IS A RAPTOR 3 ENGINE ~!
Thank you so much! It’s a pleasure! We’re living in exciting times!!! 🔥
Nice video, thanks for these last news from space
Appreciate the support! 🔥
I believe the answer is to have no heat shields but to spin the ship to constantly change the surface. The back side is able to strip heat away. Also possible is to add a thin layer of stainless steel wiffles
Rocket lab's successor to neutron should be Quark. Then we can have a Top Quark (2nd stage) and a Bottom Quark(Booster).
🤣Then we'll have to see what they come up with to use "spin", "iso-spin", "strangeness", and "charm".
Don't stop uploading video in Spanish, I like it a lot❤❤❤
14:16 this makes it sound like the 2nd stage returns to the first stage and gets ”eaten” so that both would land. In actuality the 1st stage lands but the 2nd is expended like falcon 9.
Can't wait for new glenn and starship v2
Thank You very much, dear Felix
I like the tech that Relativity space uses, and the idea of printing ships. Do wish there was more news to report about them. hope they make it.
The guy at 2:50 is like -"What the hell is this sh-t?"
Imagine someone in the year 3000 finding starship wrecks on the seabed and thinking aliens landed on earth in the past😭
and that banana came from space.
😂😂 This might actually happen!
Nah. The metal will corrode pretty quickly. Look how fast the Titanic is disappearing.
@ Yesh you’re probably right… But it would be super funny.
I wonder what it feels like to feel a Felix.
that Waterworld clip :D lol.
GR8 show as usual Felix my man! GR8 info as usual!!
Another great report!!! Thank You!!!
Without that the 2nd lanchtower is much longer, it can still have a longer booster+starship because the booster is standing on a much lower launchpad.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Something to ask an expert, every time I post questioning how long do we think before we see a booster transferred to the cape by flight someone always says they can’t fly it like that. Who tells Elon what he can or cannot do. I’m about as qualified as any other arm chair speculator as the next. Seems to me that if a booster were launched without starship it should have more than enough thrust to coast across the Gulf of Mexico and land at the cape rather than on a floating barge. Similar to the flight plan used for falcon 9 when landing on a barge down range. Wishing you and your family the best.
You're absolutely correct. An aerodynamic nosecone cap could be made, put on top and that's all it would take. The question is if regulatory bodies would approve it.
Nice touch using Water World stock!!!
I hate that Relativity doesn't seem to be doing so well.
Their rise was almost meteoric and so much potential.
You left out a serious contender for commercial space stations - Sierra Space and while Blue Origin aspires to orbiting space destinations, they've mothballed their effort while they concentrate on other big projects.
The holy grail would be to get a single stage LEO so all that volume in the entire upper stage could be used for the next space station.
Anyone care to give the spoilers of the specs in this video? Dont feel like fast-forwarding 5 seconds a time for 20 min for it :P
@@mistrants2745 laziness at its peak maybe listen to it like a podcast 😂
:P
Go to your TH-cam settings, you can shift the 5 second skip all the way up to 30 seconds!
Why would you want to bother yourself with details
Tiktok attention span
Excellent stuff bro
15:00 "there is no point in having a pad without a rocket to launch it from."
I kinda disagree. Launching a pad from a rocket is a bad idea(tm), as SpaceX found out during IFT-1.
SCNR 🙂
I wish all the space station companies would just pool all their money together and work on a giant rotating ring space station. It could be ready by the time starship starts reaching peak launch cadence
Tower 2 isn't that much taller, but the launch deck on the new mount looks like it's going to be considerably lower.
it doesn't look like that at all
💕💕💕💕Love the umlaut over the O
:D
This is a bot bro @@Whataboutit
Nice, saw your post on the X. just come here to support you.
Appreciate that! Thank you very much! 🔥
12 mins after release, somehow already watched whole video without skipping. Time must be warled where im at ir some other weird phenomenon.
Just booked my flight for lucky number 7!
too early IMO
Tower 2 doesn't need to be taller for block-2 ships, as the shorter launch mount gives a lot more useable height.
The Ikea raptor shirt is fucking awesome
Another great Video thank you Felix and Crew. I checked BTW I am still subscribed 🙂
Awesome! Glad to have you! 😁 Thanks for watching!!!
So… I’ll just take a look in the crystal ball now. We may see liftoff from Starbase, full Orbit, maybe even refueling and then a smooth landing at the cape as soon as flight 9 or 10 I guess. Even writing this seems crazy but it’s SpaceX after all. Thinking we might see this as early as the end of next year is insane to me. If it happens I have this comment as „told ya“… 😂 Go SpaceX!
Space apartments coming in 2050... Uber eats space edition
A lot more versions than just the tanker, depot, and lunar lander. There's the Starlink launcher, a general payload launcher (bigger door), a general in-space crew variant (doesn't need to be designed for the Moon), and so on.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. My uninformed, no-engineer mind tells me Starship could easily function as stand-alone space station - for a SSaaS (Space Station as a Service) sort of thing, hence we could see a space station variant in the future. Just send such a starship to orbit with crew and supplies for the mission, can stay up there for months or as long as the mission requires, and can boost its orbit with the engines. Maybe not practical but, boy, what a hobby!
@@okirooju3787 Makes sense. Station-keeping doesn't take much fuel, and whatever you need could top up from depots.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 exactly. You could easily refuel from depot. If these ships are going to be engineered for long duration deep space travel (say, like to Mars), that's already most of the behaviour and the functionality of a space station. I'm certain part of the future of making space accessible to regular people will be hundreds, if not thousands, of independent space stations for different purposes - vacationing, movie making, science, even space sports. I know I'd love to see a Starship space station variant.
I still believe the current "pad B" will become the full-time launch tower while they remove/replace/overhaul the original tower/pad to handle the larger size of new variants to come.
Yeah their whole design requires hanging the upper stage inside the lower stage and then hoping that the upper stage doesn't shatter into a million pieces when they release it and light the fuse
what
I guess this means that if a block 2 booster starts flying now and only flies once a month, starship will still double the amount of thrust that spaceX rockets produce in a month.
Why "Raptör"? The correct orthography is undoubtedly "Räptor".
Hey, he’s German.
7:02 sneaky this star citizen reference ;)
Oh, I was thinking it was a star trek voyager reference
Star Trek. ;)
01:27 I think that the upper stage broke when it fell over more because a harder re-entry was chosen and the metal became weak where heat protection tiles were removed.
Not that I'm criticizing that decision , they wanted to push the upper stage to its limits.
not really, its just not made to hit the water like that, it still survived mostly intact tho
@Lu.capuchino Yeah, a stubborn piece 😁
My question… Did they find the banana???
Unknown!
Regarding ship recovery off Australia: very bright prospects for Block 2. No deliberate weakening viz. OFT6.

Rocket Lab: 13:23
@17:53 Astra did not declare bankruptcy. However, Astra did go back to being a private company.
They also didn't kill off their only operational rocket, because they never had one... they had a rocket with a handful of mostly-unsuccessful launch attempts, and which certainly could never be described as "operational". Rocketlab are the only small-launch company who have successfully made that step up from an experimental vehicle to regular operations... everyone else has either gone bust (e.g. Virgin Orbit), or given up on small-launch (e.g. Firefly, Relativity).
Hi Felix, you say that the new launch tower is only about 2meters taller than the old tower, but surely the new one has a flame trench, so may I suggest that stage-zero's launch platform maybe a lot lower than the original, thus allowing for a taller rocket. What do you think?
I'm wondering if they thought about the larger the ship the more people and the more people the more toilets? Is it going to have to have a gigantic grey water and Blackwater recycle system?
Or just bring a lot of water toilet flushes out into deep space??
Hard to Fathom gigantic ice blocks crashing into Earth??
We won't have normal flush toilets, if that's what you'd expect ;-) There are not lots of gallons of water available to mix with human excrement.
I enjoy your podcasts thank you
❤️
Very cool times in Space. I can't wait to see another but much more modern space station. The ISS is unbelievable but eventually it's time. I just wish out space launch systems were advanced enough to bring some of it back to Earth rather than burn it all up.
Neutron is, basically, a one-stage cargo rocket, up and down, and that's it, no separation of stages. What you see is what you get.
No, the second stage is suspended inside the fairing -- it separates after the fairing opens. Then the fairing (which is attached to the first stage) closes and the first stage re-enters.
@@dancingdog2790 In other words the second stage is the cargo? If the cargo is in the second stage then it is the cargo spacecraft the Neutron is transporting to orbit. That makes the Neutron a cargo ship. Stages imply separation; 1st stage booster, the 2nd stage boosts payload into orbit, etc. The Neutron comes back whole and in one stage to be reused. It is a new concept; whereas the Starship is two stages; booster and spaceship. The Neutron is only one stage. What is inside is not the rocket but the cargo Neutron shuttles to space whether it is satellites or a single spacecraft inside a large faring, such as a small shuttle.
@@Jimbo65203 No, it has a normal second-stage that does the job of delivering payload from staging to orbit. The only thing unusual about it is that it's contained entirely within the fairing attached to the first stage - but that's not _that_ unusual, since some Atlas/Centaur variants do the same thing.
