I haven’t felt this much anticipation since the Christmas of 1972. I was eight, and had asked Santa for an Evil Knievel stunt cycle. 🎁 I woke up at about 4am, ran down the steps, and when I saw all those presents under the tree, I just knew my dream was about to come true! 🫣 Well, I’m 58 now and I never did get that Evil Knievel stunt cycle, 😢 but I sure hope I get to watch the Starship fly. The anticipation is killing me! 😬
Awwww... no Evil Knievel stunt cycle. Well my friend. We are all in for a treat no matter what happens hopefully within the next few weeks. The biggest thing to ever try to launch. It will be quite a thing. Thanks Tim!
Well, the immediate changes that will come afterward, it is all going to come down to each step of the testing process. Payload deployment, refilling, high orbit tests, lunar flybys, you name it. There is years worth of great steps to cover yet my friend!
Well, just watch all the other launches coming!🤩 I stopped watching SpaceX F9 launches after the 100th time. Given this standard, there will be a lot of seasons of starship launches and landings coming to keep us all occupied!😊
Its astonishing the speed of development from Space X compared to the extremely slow developments of NASA and the traditional rocket companies. Its a real testament to the company culture and the hue number talented individuals involved.
@@steveaustin2686 Of course I know but if you look at for instance the SLS development times vs starship they are massively different. I was ighlighting perhaps the different corporate cultures.
@@martinknox9879 Starship started back in 2011, it has been more than just the flights. There is also the difference in development. SLS is doing the test every piece until it is perfect and then test the subsystems and finally have a flight with little problems. SpaceX, for Starship, is doing rapid interation where they test things when they are good enough, but likely to fail. Which is why the Raptor 1 was replaced by the Raptor 2 and the Starship have went through MANY changes. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The only reason SpaceX can afford the rapid iteration method, is that Starship is being made of steel, which is cheaper than normal spacecraft construction methods. IF they were using composite materials like they initially planned, they would almost certainly be doing the more traditional method. SpaceX is a private company, so they can take risks that NASA can not, who has Congressional oversight and people who would like to see the space program curtailed as mostly unnecessary. Or being done in the wrong district.
@@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882 Musk has said that Starship was supposed to be taking people to Mars by now, so target dates don't mean much. Almost every spacecraft has missed its target date, including the Falcon 9, Dragon, and Crew Dragon.
It was really impressive, but even just the unloading animation from crane to deployment seems like there are huge terrestrial applications this kind of autonomous rover could do... construction site prep for factories, other deployments of designed systems like those solar panel arrays etc. (assuming those payloads could be standardized in an industry and deployed in the way this was - hugely positive economic implications for businesses looking at first principles and opportunities to create new tech to fit those demands!) Overall, looks like a really versatile platform that could be huge in the future, but even just this lunar mission that were presented, looks AWESEOME! I caught myself with my mouth open in shock when I saw that demo! :D
I still don't think most people realize the absolutely insane scale of starship and its platform. Seeing things like the JLG lift (about twice the size of the average car) parked by the ship/booster during the lift really shows how massive these things are.
I have a suggestion: Virtually every video of Starship on the pad is sped up by some random and unknown amount. I completely understand why this is done, but it makes it impossible to judge how fast various operations actually proceed. As an obvious example, I have no idea how fast the chopsticks move, because as far as I have seen EACH AND EVERY video of their use is sped up in varying degrees. One ends up trying to judge the playback rate by watching the wisps of vented gasses and cars on the road in the background. I would love to see just one video of a mating process shown in real time. My suggestion is this: How about adding a line to the "credits" text in the corner that specifies the playback rate? This would be good for current viewers and also for posterity. Just a thought...
You should maybe consider putting a strobe light advisory on this video for those police lights that fill out the screen early in the video. But otherwise, great work! I'm really excited for this first orbital launch attempt!!🤩
Those 39 Raptors ALL have to work perfectly at the same time in microseconds of each other. Just THAT part alone is going to be THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE DECADE. If anyone can achieve it - SpaceX is THE company.
On Virgin Orbit, Chapter 11 is strictly a US thing. Bankruptcy law is very different in the UK - in fact I think you will find that Virgin Orbit is in receivership, not bankrupt. Receivership is very often the first stage in bankruptcy but it can leave open the possibility of the business eventually trading its way out under new management. So it has some similarities to Chapter 11 (temporary protection from creditors) but is not the same.
Incredible of you Tim. Thanks a bunch mate. With the current news, I hope you are excited about this upcoming flight. Wow, I can't believe it is finally here. Almost seems like a dream.
Can you imagine how different future will be 5-10 years after Starship is flying constantly? We'll be already talking about building Space Bases further into the Solar System. It only makes sense to move some of the infrastructure to other planets.
With Easter Sunday less than a day away, I feel so blessed to be alive to witness the dawn of the next era of space exploration. Wow! PS I also remember my parents’ waking me up to watch Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin land and walk on the moon in 1969. I hope I can return the favour by making sure they can witness Starship launch and land on the moon soon too) Thank-you Marcus. God bless you and your team. Lotsa love to all from Toronto ❤❤❤
Can I make a selfish request, when you’re showing sped up footage, can you put the factor in the corner of the screen an x2,x5 etc so we can slow it down and see how fast things really move?
Marcus, I follow the space news on/off through a week cause I know I get the full gist in your Sat video after working out (EU based). But I gotta admit, you always surprise me with a lot of stuff I never would have known happening, well done! I actually thought this week would be dull with a couple of F9s and some moving stuff around at Starbase and then a few meh things in non-SpaceX, but a lot has happened!
Marcus, I don't know how you do it, but even after all this time, you're still the best space channel out there - week after week, after week, after week... ! 👏👏👏
Thank you, MH and Team! So many Starship details have changed over the last several years. You guys have been doing a great job of keeping the history along the way. I see in the latest footage rotating grid fins came back. Also, there must be another Starship with lunar landing legs if there's specific commercial moon mission signed on. Awesome! Honestly, spaceships with no landing gear makes me nervous. Great reports. Much appreciated.
English is a funny language. Me: "Crude? What's crude about the Artemis mission?" Also me: "Ohhh...CREWED...got it." Great content as always mate, next couple vids will be historic!
Don't forget that, unlike on Artemis 1 where TLI was performed by the ICPS RL-10, Artemis 2 will have used its ICPS propellant to raise its apogee for the extended checkout period in Earth orbit. Consequently, it'll perform the TLI burn with its own OMS engine, resulting in a slower transit to the moon. Another point worth remembering is that, unlike Apollo 8, Artemis 2 will not enter lunar orbit, but simply fly by on a free return trajectory. So, a much less ambitious flight plan, though still good to see after waiting for over half a century.
Yeah, Artemis IV is planned to use the more robust Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) which is 8.4m in diameter with 4 RL-10 engines, than the 5m Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) on Artemis I through Artemis III.
Considering surgeons sometimes accidently forget medical equipment inside the patient, one wonders just how many tools and leftovers are lying around inside 24/7 (ref, the dangling bit they had to remove prior to stacking)
A week and a few days is the NET date. Keep that in mind. I recall a NET date for this same launch about 9 months ago.. Though obviously there is much better odds this time.
No, a week or so until the first attempt to launch. Expect a scrub that day, and maybe on several successive days, but it is finally about to happen. Can't wait.
@@odysseusrex5908 That's a given. We still refer to a launch date as a launch date, because it is supposed to launch that day. Any scheduled event is subject to postponement.
Hopefully it flies over Perth so y'all can give it a lightshow welcome. We will never forget that little nod you guys gave John Glenn for us when he was doing our first orbits.
Thank you again for very complete and insightful update, Marcus. You're one most dependable and reliable space news sources on the tube. Thank you again for continuing on!
Great weekly round as per usual - lots of good information at a breathtaking pace ! Looking forward to the deep dive - it promises to be an interesting few weeks. Thank you !
Well done Marcus, getting excited as usual, can't believe we have finally made to an OFT within weeks, I still think it's going to be on 4/20 chuckle or they could throw us off as the WDR as the actual OFT!
Re: 5:03 I to speculate, with strong certainty, that the win was the cause for the delay. At this time point, you will observe the cable connected to the chopsticks oscillating in an extremely significant way. Oscillations in cables, such as these have brought down, major bridges in the past. The wind is cables mortal enemy. And the longer they are the more the isolations have an effect. someone might say this is obvious. Anyway, my two cents!
Even when they crash and burn. I LOVE it when they blow stuff up! 🤓😁 Not that I'm hoping they blow this one up. That would be bad. And awesome at the same time... 🤔 I'm so conflicted! 😅
The are building the New Glenn heavy lift booster for orbit, but are using the same BE-4 engine that they are selling to ULA for their Vulcan Centaur. Reportedly, ULA has first dibs on the BE-4 engines that are produced, so Blue has to ramp up the production process, before they can slap them on a New Glenn booster, if they have one hiding somewhere. They tend to be secretive.
I can't even put into words how excited I am about this. @Marcus House, mate. This really is it, ey? Hoping for the best, but whatever happens, this is going to be spectacular. Love n Peas.
I wonder if we will get to see those giant grid fins working during re entry since they are so high up on the booster . The Falcon 9 grid fins are mounted a ways down from the top of that booster so a camera placement that shows you them working is is easier to find
I follow twitter for all Space X and Space launch news but I wouldn’t get the whole lot if it wasn’t for this channel. Well done Marcus and your team as well as the supporting artists and photographers.
I haven't been this hyped for a launch since the JWST launch. I hope all will go as planned with the Star Ship orbital flight test! History will be written the day that bad boy lands safe and sound here on earth!
Great Video Marcus. Virgin Orbit's main point of Sale was the ability to launch from anywhere and when they failed at the first launch from the UK, that hurts the company a lot. I think the only option that they got ( Branson got his own financial problems ) is to be bailed out by the US Government, but with Electron providing actually a Cheaper price tag to Orbit, not sure if that is going to happen. The US government is probably very happy with SpaceX and RocketLab.
Plus Relativity Space, Astra, and Firefly. Hopefully, Northrop Grumman's collaboration on the Antares 330 with Firefly will lead them to make it a commercial rocket. The Antares 200 and 100 series were only for Cygnus under the Commercial Resupply Services contract.
I have a new weekly routine. Every Saturday morning I catch the latest video from Marcus House. I look forward to it like the Saturday morning cartoons I watched as a kid! Thanks Marcus! Please keep the Space tech news coming!
When nasa goes to the moon they better have some 4k footage or something. Not streamed. Just some solid footage n photographs of the moon to blow everyones minds.
Marcus, your videos have become a key part of my Saturday morning. I've been a space exploration fan as long as I can remember, and that's a very long time indeed now. Maybe I won't get to go live on the moon or Mars like I thought I might as a child in the 60s, but maybe I will live enough to see a permanent base established after all.
As a child, I was fortunate to watch the moon landings on television. I feel blessed to be living through it all again but with the added bonus of a permanent moonbase being established and subsequent manned missions to Mars.
The FLEX Rover looks AMAZING!!! I can't wait to see it in action. Honestly I think this is the coolest and best Rover out of all the other space company's.

Thanks for the update Markus 👍
You are most welcome!
I absolutely love that rover! Very ergonomic and multi purpose, great for building a base.
It really is!
And sexy. What a nice looking robot.
It was really impressive, but even just the unloading animation from crane to deployment seems like there are huge terrestrial applications this kind of autonomous rover could do... construction site prep for factories, other deployments of designed systems like those solar panel arrays etc. (assuming those payloads could be standardized in an industry and deployed in the way this was - hugely positive economic implications for businesses looking at first principles and opportunities to create new tech to fit those demands!)

Great program guys, Space X is truly operating on an industrial scale.
Knowing where SpaceX got the names for their drone ships without having to google it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Amazing Updates!
Well done, Marcus!
Happy Easter
I've been waiting 3 years for this day!!!
Well done, as always.
I wonder if we will get to see those giant grid fins working during re entry since they are so high up on the booster . The Falcon 9 grid fins are mounted a ways down from the top of that booster so a camera placement that shows you them working is is easier to find
The interstage is shorter on booster than Falcon 9, but Falcon Heavy side boosters are shorter too yet we still can see the grid fins
Could also have a camera pointing up. They have cameras everywhere.
I'll come back in another 2 or 3 mts to check on the launch date
Good weekly roundup👍
