How Quick do you think will SpaceX be able to produce Starships at some point?
at mome point? ikd... like 1 000 000 per year?
To include the boosters?
Boeing / Airbus builds 1 ~ 1.2 airliners per day once production is up, running, stable, and mature. Might be something like say 1/2 ~ 1/3 of that, i.e. 3 ~ 5 per week. Airliner has more interior detail work for passenger compartment, SH + SS has simple interior, but way more engines, plus a labor intensive heatshield. Raptor production may be the limiting factor. Expect SpaceX to set up / run multiple Raptor production lines.
I think they never intended to abandon the bumpers.
Not very quickly because flight testing miss proceed before knowing how to improve. The ships feedback is with the program needs. Why is the Democrats Kamala Harris retarding SpaceX?
In the Intro:" will they be able to catch spacex?"
I lost my english for a second😂
Yeah, seems evident that's the whole idea...
Felix, you are absolutely right to refer to China as motivation to streamline the FAA's approval processes. Hopefully that will get those politicians thinking hard.
Those are blast-proof walls, and there's no way it would survive an out-of-control Starship dipping on the roof. Those are hurricane-reinforced walls, made to survive 180 mph winds, seen those before at a chemical plant I used to work at in Bishop, TX. It's so that people can shelter there during a hurricane, because you can't have staff who must monitor security and chemical/pressure systems evacuate.
If this were to be used during launch, you'd see something more bunker-like, similar to the pumproom they built at the launch site.
Those buildings are all in a hurricane zone. They need to be able to withstand 140 mph winds.
They used to tell you to turn off your phones and electronic devices when flying on planes, now they give you free wifi on flights.
Your also told not to bring water into a terminal. So they can then charge you $10 a bottle.
The Chinese are more tolerant of rocket parts and propellant falling over populated areas. Of course, we know the citizens have little say in these. I wouldn't want China's level of regulation.
Yep, reusable rockets, make the chines rockets safer. Then one that just falls from the sky into someone’s home. 🤣
Props to you Felix for your continued and unwavering support support of the most advanced and innovative rocket company on the planet which also operates with the most transparency out of the rocket industry field.
Felix IS the Man !!!
By the time space X has tested the booster, FAA got 10 more complaints for spacex ready
The bumpers are a hard stop and the motion of the arms creates a massive moment along their length that is almost impossible to stop. We saw that in the way they would sway after stopping.
I do not know the details but I imagine they will use the hydraulic control to "stop" early and control the sway with active use of the hydraulics.
"Did you just insult our processes on live TV? GET FINED!" -FAA probably
Hmmm.... FAA slows down SpaceX while China catches up...Whaaa??????
Hoorah for dixie 😂
Why is another company in another country taking the lead such a bad thing. I don't remember being hindered when Usain Bolt dominated in track and Field. He changed the sport for the better. Just Like how Japan changed cars forever. Most American cars now are long lasting and reliable. People don't say American cars suck anymore. I even remember people whining about facial recognition and it turned out to be very useful to airports.
Can't wait 'til November 😅
I have always said whoever will be best for US space exploration has my full support. This is now just another reason. I want my dad to be here and see Americans on Mars, after he saw the moon landings from a FOB in Vietnam
November? You're so cute. Try next year under a new administration.
This is Americans vs their corrupt weaponized government.
The reinforcements of the Boca Chica office building may also be for operations up to category four or five Hurricanes.
I'd build for stronger than a Cat5 by 50%.
“The best part is no part.”
What was that loud crunching noise?
The best rocket is no rocket. But that's just boring.
"the best launch is no launch" - FAA
That actually looked like standard spacing on the wall segments. 8:47 But instead of a 2x4 in size, it might be 2x8 or 2x10. Perhaps to help against the vibration of Starship launches?
And also against explosions on the pad. It's non-zero probability.
No Felix You Rock!
I'm not the only guy on the team. I feel very fortunate to be working alongside all those people you don't even know.
Stefanie, Cary, Alex, Penny, John x2, Sean, Jordan, Indigo, Elliot, Arvid, Jonathan, Ry, Szablocs, Eryk, Oskar... They're what makes up WAI!
I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever launch enough ships to require a factory to build them
Good question 😊 maybe launch factories 😮
Once Starship is complete, these FAA slowdowns should be much less frequent and launch cadence should increase dramatically. Right now it's because Starship is an experimental vehicle. Flight hardware and mission profile are changing with just about every launch, so they need to keep getting new licenses from the FAA. That doesn't make it any less infuriating, though, SpaceX is constructing and testing _rockets_ faster than the government can shuffle paper around.
Given the delays for flight 5, why doesn't SpaceX test the catching process by having some kind of vehicle do a short hop and then come back down right away onto the pad?
That would require a license not likely they'd use a crane to "drop" a test tank on the sticks at a controlled pace
that would need another friggin license...
Far better to test an actual launch & return than to risk vehicle & pad on a contrived partial test.
SpaceX are space & engineering geniuses acting in good faith.
The FAA are clueless administration hacks acting with political malice.
@@TaylorNewberryC I have been thinking the same thing for quite awhile however, these guys probably though of this and another 1000 things more.
I think it all comes down to bureaucracy.
At this point, engineering has to wait for this BS.
I had that thought also. Sure, they’d need a flight license, but it should be much easier to get a license to send super heavy only to say… 1000 feet and then back down.
Hug Tower One and Hug Tower Two
Maybe they shortened the bumpers?
They need to form a regulation agency for rocket launching and remove it from the FAA.
If the FAA can't keep up with the pace of rocket development, then have an agency just for that purpose.
The problem is that any/all agencies under this administration are politicized/weaponized/corrupted against political enemies.
A separate agency would be just as corrupted.
More lazy/uncaring & incompetent chair-warming government hacks.
DC votes 95% Democrat.
at first it was just low key but now i completely hate faa
At least their methods are extremely slow and ineffective. They should restructure to be more efficient and effective
Probably should ramp that up to the rest of government...
What spacex did caused this.Everytime they launched they changed so many things which required a new permit. Faa being adult here and whoever complain about how slow they are being childish.
@@Forgetten55right... And the IRS knowing what you owe but want you to know how bad they ram you with no kiss isn't childish.. the government isn't here to help.
@@Forgetten55if they decided today to just go with the same flight profile they would still be grounded even tho they have permits for that.
Are the replaced bumpers the same length as the old ones? Are the new ones in the exact same position as the old ones? So many questions.
Ahh yess.... The best addition to my passport, stamps from the moon and mars...how freaking awsome !!
Prepping Hoppy for testing launch tower catching. Try a little one first and practice. Then try a half-size booster. Practice. Test. Adjust. Practice. Test... etc.
Bumper is a typical best part is no part
Those are steel studs used for walls, there are gonna be a lot of walls in the office building. They are replacements for two by fours as are used in home building. Also, they are much more resilient in commercial building structures.
How long till we see factories made in space?
Love youuuuu
Wait, did you say FREE in-flight wifi?
When will the “Startship” travel to another star 😂😂😂
Extra reinforcement is likely just a code requirement for HURRICANE resistance.
FAA not wanting space x is too much chaos for flight navigation for them.
Hey Felix, keep up the good work mate!
Much love from Australia ❤
To the FAA...You need to leave SpaceX alone, or start looking for another job...
Thanks for the indepth update of spaceship news Felix. But I have a question. Many, if not all of the delays for Starship come from the FAA. My question is why is the FAA regulating SpaceX but only NASA is regulating Starliner? They are both in the same phase of development and therefore should be on the same regulator path. The regulations state that NASA regulates during development then the FAA regulates once the rocket has been cleared for commercial operation. So why the difference? Can you explain?
I’m taking bets the FAA is delaying approval to provide SpaceX time to complete Tower B so they can launch IFT 5 from it. To prevent subsequent fines from the deluge system on Tower A.
Já estava na hora da FAA atualizar os seus processos para o sec.21 e acompanhar a rápida evolução que a SpaceX trouxe🎬
Wait a minute -the name "Starlink" almost sounds like "Sky Net". Oh my god -when the system is complete it will become sentient and the world will become overrun by mechanical Arnolds.
Is NASA water deluge system similar to SpaceX and, if so, is the FAA/EPA stopping them too?
The FAA isn't the one harping about deluge that's the TECQ and EPA
@@KiRiTO72987 Yes, I thought about that directly after I posted it - thanks. Do you have any comment on my question?
TECQ: Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Probably solved decades ago.
What if the hot staging ring design were to change its intention to include Starship landing?
Would the extra power from raptor three make it worth the loss in extra weight
I read this 5 times and I still have no idea what you meant to say
I think spacex must take their business to other country that wont block them😮
Legally impossible
@@KrimsonStorm how so?
Canada threw environmental regulation out the window, it's open season on pollution. 😅
@@user-xj5xp6qz5gITAR. SpaceX makes equipment vital to national security. The US will not allow it's export, especially to our adversaries or those who might be more loose with them.
@@KrimsonStorm Idk, maybe if the Americans are no longer interested in Space, the Communist Chinese would accept all the tech patents and hardware?
The problem with being subject to government regulators is that any involvement with government always becomes political and subject to political pressure.
Boka chica is in mexico 😊
F the FFA so now they are the FFFA
1:24 "Jesus" at Chopsticks
We know SpaceX hires based on merit. Suspect the FAA hires based on checked boxes.
Does China fund the FAA? or are the FAA working for China for free?
Ever try to say please hit the button.
nope. *china* aint cathing up, they're at the same stage as spacex WAS in 2012
Noooooo !!!1 Not Again
Germany beat every other country to The Moon, Felix 😉👍
resident alien such a great show
I wonder if an asteroid was on its way, how quickly it would be approved.
I think they want to incentivize employees to work at Boca even if it’s the Launch control facility for canaveral launches
Best thing is to stockpile foods and meds and try to build a bunker under your house, at least when the big one hits you will have a good chance of surviving. Seems thats what the country wants?
I imagine Mexico would be happy to welcome SpaceX and would have very few restrictions for launches..... And SpaceX could stop launching astronauts on Dragon and just focus on Starling......Heck, just move it all to Mexico, Starship, Dragon, etc
Pretty sure NASA is SpaceX’s largest client..
@@jimcroft21 Right. And since SpaceX is one of the few entities able to launch astronauts, NASA would still need to pay SpaceX to send astronauts into space. Or use Boeing's Starliner...LOL....
What are they doing to the ship are they just going to throw it In the ocean and can you talk more about the Chinese space station you briefly mentioned in a earlier episode
IFT-5 will likely have Starship attempting a couple sub-orbital course changes. Enough to prove that circularization and deorbit burns in zero-G are -going to be dependable.- plausible.
And where is the ship from the previous flight?
From what I remember, the main mission objectives are to catch the SuperHeavy booster, and test Starship's new heat-shielding during re-entry. We're likely going to see a similar mission profile to IFT-4 with Starship performing a soft water landing in the Indian ocean, but with SuperHeavy doing a full boost-back burn to Starbase, where it will then be caught if all goes according to plan. However, anomalous readings from SuperHeavy may cause an abort and have them redirect the booster into the Gulf.
@@user-kv5fw7xz9c
Starship from IFT-4 is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Likely scuttled by using the explosive charges in the Flight Termination System.
Dear Moon? Anyone?
Cancelled by the buyer
@@KiRiTO72987 Thank you.
I would be suprised if Elon does not look for options to move some of the Construction/testing of starship out of USA. Most countries would do anything to suddenly be in front in the space race. They need more predictability and flexibility to make the big investments needed to make life mulitiplanetary.
Mexico should be good location.
Lol I'll subscribe
OK getting a passport
STILL It would be advantageous to Space X to develop a closed water deluge system.
The wetlands will not remain healthy with massive amounts of fresh water and malaria will become an unforeseen consequence.
Trinken wir ein Bierchen in Speyer Lieblingsfelix?! ☺️ bringe Oktoberfest Bier mit aus münchen. 😋
Will Starships next launch be refitted with Raptor 3 engines, or maybe just with some Raptor 3's to test them and is that part of the FAA licensing issues. What does SpaceX plan to do with the already built Raptor 2 engines still new and unused. Scrap them or still use them?
SpaceX will probably continue to use Raptor 2 engines for a while, at least until they get a nice continuous supply of Raptor 3's. Raptor 2 is also a reliable and proven engine platform for SpaceX, and it'd make no sense to throw out a bunch of perfectly fine (and quite expensive) methalox rocket engines.
Edit: Oh, also, yeah if they added Raptor 3 engines now it'd require SpaceX to go through the entire FAA licensing process again.
Well, Raptor 3 is very different from Raptor 2, so it can't just be placed instead of Raptor 2. But what about Starship V2? That's interesting. But, I think, It will probably have Raptor 3 engines because of new fuel supply system. It will be nice to see Starship V2 static fire or at least video footage of Raptor 3 testing.
How will the FAA know if it is safe until a controlled test launch is made to proof test it? You know, like crash testing cars.
If this is not understandable it must be government work. Smile please.
"Go Fever" has absolutely nothing to do with streamlining Falcon ops. SpaceX has launched hundreds of Falcons, they know extremely well which of their procedures is redundant. Having some bureaucrat paper-pusher diversity hire fining them for honing the efficiency of their ops is beyond ludicrous.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Regulators in china are silent because the heads of thous companies are NOT badmouthing the chairman on every platform they can find... Just saying. You want the government to cooperate? Cooperate with the government first, that is the message. To bad somebodies ego is to massive to lift off this planet...
Felix. How does starship land on Mars with no legs?
they will design legs for mars obviously, like SN prototypes had
@@Lu.capuchino Gotya.
Be honest, it's just one visit of Tim Dodd to Starbase and his videos are recycled ad nauseam, isn't it ? :)
FAA is the first brick against human progress
SpaceX should cancel all government flights until the FCC coughs up the $1B it owes SpaceX for Starlink rural internet. SpaceX should apply a $2B surcharge for the return of the Boeing test pilots on an "unscheduled emergency service flight."
There is no "unscheduled emergency service flight." Crew 9 is going as scheduled, and who will fly in it is up to NASA.
any 3 letter agency needs to be overhauled FAA FDA CIA FBI DOJ SS and the list goes on and on
❤
Very obvious it’s all political.
China catching up….😅😅😅
😮
China well thanks to the FAA and American government!!!
Why use the chopsticks when they have landing legs for starship designed for. Lunar landings? After all Elon says basically no updates are the best. Pluscwith raptor knowledge they have more experience than anybody
@alecbrown66 Well, legs that have to support a rocket in 1/6 Earth gravity would not be strong enough to support a rocket in full Earth gravity. To conserve mass, they would be made only strong enough to land on the Moon (possibly Mars) but not Earth.
FAA tried to slowdowns Space X so The China can keep up with The US in the race to the Moon and beyond 😂🤣😅
Wild to think that the default language on the moon might be chinese 💀
Rapid reusablity is an ego trip vs practically... instead of "rapidly" reusing one ship, just have more ships in the rotation and refurbish return craft and whatever pace is necessary for safety
After x number of flights, the stress on all parts of rocket, can result of having to replace all parts. Replacing only some parts might not be safe.
@@kjetilhvalstrand1009 elon's argument that if you threw away an airplane after every flight, then it would be too expensive to fly...
But the airlines take planes out of service to do maintenence all the time. Not every plane they have are flying customers.
The same will need to be true for Starship..
Just yell your dems you're voting for harris...you'll have the permit from FAA tomorrow. Bastsrds
Xitter.
FAA SUCKS
First, let me say I love your show. However, let me introduce to you my rising level of dislike with the number of commercial interruptions that I get watching your feed. Send concerned viewer. Jim
Relocating to the UAE for testing and future missions could be a better option until the FAA resolves its issues and invites SPACEX back. Charge four times the cost for flights and impose a $633,009 tax per U.S. astronaut. While continuing operations in the U.S., we should establish a new Starbase in the UAE. Let’s move forward to Mars without the FAA holding us back. Upward and beyond!"
They legally can't.
repetitive :( Boring
Time for Elon Musk to step down as leader of both SpaceX and Tesla.
His personal political views are extreme far right and bad for business 🤔
You are part of the problem
How's Moscow this time of year? Or are you in St. Petersburg?
Hahahahahahha being Far Right is 100 fold better than being a Democrat with $ hit for brains.
Felix, bitte nicht mehr so viele Wiederholungen und alte Bilder (z.B. das eine Bild vom Office Building ist mindestens eine Woche alt). Wenn du Material brauchst, um das Video zu füllen, hole dir die wirklich guten und sachdienlichen Infos von NSF oder CSI Starbase.
CSI Starbase produziert aktuell keinen eigenen Content. NSF hat uns darauf hingewiesen, dass wir rechtliche Schritte zu befürchten hätten, wenn wir weiterhin deren Inhalte verwenden. Du findest in unseren Videos kaum Wiederholung. Wir stellen unsere eigenen Inhalte her und das bleibt auch so.
@@Whataboutit ok, danke. Das war mir neu .. aber leider wiederholst du dich auch selbst immer wieder 🙃
The FAA doesn't 'strike again' - Space X continues to fail to meet its legal obligations. What is wrong with us?
Retribution is coming in January
@@jimmaag4274 your cult delusion strikes again 😂
First Here!
9:28 I know structures that house sensitive technology (EW tech, rocket engine plans etc.) that needs to comply with ITAR need to be in structures with a certain level of hardiness, depending on plans that reinforcement might be to comply with those secure facility requirements.
I'm beginning to believe that the FAA isn't very fond of Elon Musk due to political reasons, although I hope I am incorrect.
That said, it is better he keep all his operations in the United States, despite what people (or honestly, potential Chinese bots) says
yeah those people hate Elon Musk more than they love the US
100% agreed. Moving SpaceX to a different country isn't and shouldn't be the answer. First of all, there's ITAR. they simply can't and secondly I have faith that these disputes will be settled. Stopping the Starship program would be outright insane.
And the political landscape could get much worse in Nov.
Idk I think Kamala wants the Communist Chinese to control space.
@@Whataboutit you 100% agree the FAA isn't fond of Elon Musk because of his political opinions?
