[How to fix the soundtrack] My German is a little rusty, and my Hindi is not the best either. As there isn't an option to select English I figured out a way to get the original soundtrack though. I started the previous episode (and it started in German as well) and there I could switch to English and when going back to this video it was the original soundtrack once more. Phew!
@Whataboutit what is going on with the audio track. The audio track is on German and you can’t turn it off. I can understand German enough to understand what it’s about. But the voice is unbearable to listen to. Is it an issue with TH-cam or could it be an upload issue?
They finally bought a tiny piece of land surrounded by finished building? That sounds like some weird Texas land stuff. I'm wondering... What about it? 🤔
Usually don’t comment, but sorry to say this episode was really annoying with the 420 joke. Just distracted me from the video. Ended up skipping loads. Please limit the amount of attempted comedy and focus on the amazing news and content.
@@itsjusttommy1819 yeah, maybe this would be fun in late April or something, but just seemed odd. I respect the creativity but I’d rather it not come at the cost of focusing on then content
420th episode… okay, thank you. I was sick of hearing the phrase, rage quit and came here to complain. Now I can simply go away until next Tuesday. I got the gist of this episode.
The joke did wear a bit halfway through, but I get it: "to" & "for" show up only a little less than "the" in English, so since there'd already be a bunch in the script, play up the joke for the celebration. After all, big part of why we watch is how you share our quirky nerd humor. Just... trying to tuck in 420 jokes in 21 minutes? Oww.
Who came up with 420 idea need to rethink his life choices! So annoying and distracting... Stopped at 5:54 to write this comment and take a break, hopefully I can make it to the end of the video...
A catch only tower makes absolute sense given orbital refueling, Starships would be returning relatively soon after boosters giving little time to free and test the tower that catches the booster.
One thing I don't understand: they said "SpaceX couldn't talk to the tower", they didn't say "booster couldn't talk to the tower". Why is this relevant? Well, that's my entire point: IF (and only IF) the problem is SpaceX talking to the tower... why not lay fiber optics, using the trench for methane/oxygen? Far easier to shield, far better than wireless. That is, assuming the problem was between tower and SpaceX, not between tower and booster.
I would say that those pads are pressure plates. Probably to either measure the contact force with the booster or actively use that data to provide feedback to the actuators to dampen the bounce or just to keep the chopsticks from crushing the booster...
Those devices on the chopsticks are definitely not for precision distance measurements, for that, you’d use retro reflectors and a total station. It’s a mystery to be sure!
I wonder if using the heat shield material to cover the launch pad components instead of the temp painted sheet metal would work better? They could attach mounts to the sheet metal just like starship. Maybe much bigger panels.
Why would they do pads on the chopsticks and not rollers? The purpose of the chopsticks is for stability and to provide a landing point, but the grip of the chopsticks is not intended for slowing the vehicle, that's what the engines are for. Rollers make way more sense as they would protect the vehicle while still providing that stabilization.
There is a HUGE rooftop on the factory/office building. Every time it rains there should be a huge runoff. Are there any plans to collect the water and incorporate it into the launch pad? Even trucks bring drinking water to storage have a big cost.
it was the com tower on top of the tower that went south ..well got blown sideways ..need to use BIGGER BOLTS for the mast next time. what a hell of a expencive mistake but to be honest the moment they for god knows what reason decided....not to have a flame trench or deflecter they have been knee deep in damage and problems
Having 2 catch only towers,1 at each site makes sense. And have it kinda off away from everything. And a transporter pre set up to walk over under the rocket untill spacex does catch about 30 more rockets and it becomes just normalized. That way they can try even more crazy stuff and not have to worry about blowing up a launch tower plus all the ground support equipment. Then could always retro fit them later down the road to make them launch towers
Need a picture of the pad development at the new pad, towers are easy, it's the new launch pad that will be a real game changer. I hope Blue Origin is successful, but like Space X they should be prepared for stuff to blow up and go wrong, make small steps. I only hope they know how to rapidly iterate and can get a second rocket up quickly. Their lack of transparency is still astounding. If they had constant updates like Space X, developed some You Tubers, people might actually start supporting them.
If they built a tower in Australia, probably one of the longest distances and easies to get approval, they would instantly have a massive import export income.
The white pad on the chopsticks looks to be some sort of sonic measuring device because it has a highly perforated surface like some sort speaker or microphone. Perhaps the darker one is the complimentary speaker or mic to the mic or speaker. The dark one is more like a speaker to my eyes, but who knows.
Something looks wrong with new Glen, when you look at the surface it's not smooth, when you're shooting through that atmosphere at high speed I'm wondering without that surface being smooth what's going to happen

Whats up with the audio track?
Fix the English audio please
Let's just be happy that the 420th episode only happens once.

Bruh... I was excited the first couple that I caught but then I died ...
Why don't I have an english audio track?!?!
English please
Looks like the audio tracks are finally coming in... English soon, hopefully
same here
i had the german audio track start playing and i was very confused
I don't have one either
Me neither, so confused!
I thought the robotic German voice playing was some sort of joke that was going to lead into a language learning sponsor.

definately pressure sensors. simply because of the place they are put. It can only be something related to the catch itself.

@@Whataboutit ENGLISH!?!??!? WHERE IS THE ENGLISH AUDIO TRACK?!?!?!?!
left at 4:20 , made me crazy
As usual, well presented summary of the progress at StarBase. Felix, you and your team ROCK !
Looks like chopstick pressure pads? Maybe to reduce torch on the motors for closing chopsticks.
starlink dishes
Im watching this whilst smoking a joint, happy 420 🎉
Alright Felix, you implied this so hard, like you were begging for it. This rocket is for your health, brother!
You don't have any English audio, just Spanish, German etc. Pls fix, i love your content Felix!!
No way I started watching this video at 4:20PM. 🤯
The missing English audio track is frustrating, I can understand most of some of the others but it's too much effort.
In settings you have the option to change to the original. in Spanish it works really well. eternally grateful
SpaceX fans about new Glen.... "Wow!!, how small can it get?"😂😂
I Can’t Wait for flight 7!!
This video should be named: "4:20 - It is time"
Nevermind starlink. if we can get done the feat of a burly italian chef frying eggs in space we have a solid civilization ready for colonizing space.
And why not to the tune of 'Tarantella Napoletana'?

Thanks for two or more of your movies!
Great as ever, in every aspect🙂
Mark my words! They will definitely try to launch two starship's at the same time! It's going to be incredible!🙏🙏🙏😂😂😂
they wont
Glad I'm not the only one having dub issues. I mean, it's a bummer, for sure, but at least it's not something unsolvaable on my end.
A catch only tower makes absolute sense given orbital refueling, Starships would be returning relatively soon after boosters giving little time to free and test the tower that catches the booster.
the 420 count is hilarious, love it!
Douglas would be proud 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@@Lu.capuchino And was that tower that got out of whack?
@@sysbofhthe tower is just a weather station
@@Lu.capuchino If this is true, why they did abort when it was damaged?

Its amazing how Felix's voice changes, when he speaks german. -- edit -- he seems to have corrected that though now.
Can't wait for those 25 launches next year.
I still think SpaceX should use their 5th. flight to fly 7 in December, leaving all 25 in 25!
they wont be ready by then
@Lu.capuchino SpaceX would!
The chopstick pad sensor is actually a large button like a giant 420 vape pen.🤙😎👍🏼
I just watched the whole video using subtitles with the sound off, so I didn't even notice the audio issue. Auto-generated English CC seems just fine.
why is the video not able to play in English?
You said 420 so many times, my eyes turned red! What about that?
WHY IS THIS IN GERMAN WTH IS THERE A DUB OPTION?????
THERE IS ONLY GERMAN, HINDI, PORTUGESE AND INDONESIAN WTH HOW DO I WATCH THIS IN ENGLISH
My opinion is they are starlink antennas and used to get exact measurements in 3 dimensions of the chopsticks.
Good job my German still works a bit!
I wonder if using the heat shield material to cover the launch pad components instead of the temp painted sheet metal would work better? They could attach mounts to the sheet metal just like starship. Maybe much bigger panels.
they would break

I didn't hear a thing in this video - I found myself mesmerized by 420, 420, 420...
Hello "What about it!?" aka Felix....as a german viewer the orinial audio version is not available.
Bitte ändern danke!:)
I'm not sure "turn around" is the correct term, when nothing is being reused, maybe the launch pad?
Do we need to start a drinking game with 42/420 references?
it was the com tower on top of the tower that went south ..well got blown sideways ..need to use BIGGER BOLTS for the mast next time. what a hell of a expencive mistake
but to be honest the moment they for god knows what reason decided....not to have a flame trench or deflecter they have been knee deep in damage and problems
Stronger tie downs & base
I started watching this video at 4:20 pm...too funny
I will never understand how anyone could take the 25 launches next year seriously.
Obviously you didn't follow Falcon 9 development.
@@chris.eskimo falcon 9 didn't have a jump like that and spacex also doesn't have the infrastructure to launch that quickly.
briliant writing.... and delivery... well done Felix :)
I am sensing a 420 theme. That is a smoken cool number! It would be the best date for the full double catch launch test.
Having 2 catch only towers,1 at each site makes sense. And have it kinda off away from everything. And a transporter pre set up to walk over under the rocket untill spacex does catch about 30 more rockets and it becomes just normalized. That way they can try even more crazy stuff and not have to worry about blowing up a launch tower plus all the ground support equipment. Then could always retro fit them later down the road to make them launch towers
1 tower without a launch pad is 1 launchpad less for launch cadence
Need a picture of the pad development at the new pad, towers are easy, it's the new launch pad that will be a real game changer. I hope Blue Origin is successful, but like Space X they should be prepared for stuff to blow up and go wrong, make small steps. I only hope they know how to rapidly iterate and can get a second rocket up quickly. Their lack of transparency is still astounding. If they had constant updates like Space X, developed some You Tubers, people might actually start supporting them.
Wonder if spacex with sheet pile the entire outline of the build site. Stabilize the soil and lower the water table.
"the numbers... WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!?"
If they built a tower in Australia, probably one of the longest distances and easies to get approval, they would instantly have a massive import export income.
it's possible they're starlink antennas to communincate with the vehicle as the chopsticks catch it so SpaceX won't lose communication last second.
LOL I'm watching episode 420 at 4:20 and I just hit play to watch this video as I lit a bowl.
