SpaceX’s Starship Flight 5 hardware is ready. So when’s that next launch? Booster 14.1 Back at the launch site. Will we see more Slaps? The first next-gen Starship is almost done! What’s it missing? SpaceX Raptor 3 static fired. How is this even real? Starliner is still stuck at the ISS, and now we know why!

What do you think? Was this to save time, or maybe there was just some internal miscommunication, and we will see yet another engine swap and static fire on Ship 30?
I wonder what the mission will be for starship on IFT. What equipment are they testing this launch? What is the flight plan? Where would they land starship during IFT6? Thanks for a great video!
teflon, are you kidding me, viton is way better ….. I am a mechanical engineer we we switched to these for many reasons, such as compatibility, temperature ….
Why are we still doing rocket population when we should be using the reversed technology from the crashed UFO and spinning mercury filled chambers creating a magnetic field so we can travel along the lay lines all over Earth and travel even faster through the universe
I wish Elon would have been, behind the scenes all along, prep’ing a SpaceX Dragon. So he could just announce publicly “just wanted to let NASA know we have Dragon that can launch immediately to retrieve Suní and Butch.” Even if NASA would say “no thanks” (which they wouldn’t) it would still be a HUGE blackmail on Boeing. If NASA said “yes” well… we all know!! 😂
Major Leak, new ship STASRHIP 28 at 5:26 confirmed 😅😂
The world impossible sounds like a joke SpaceX to engineers 😀😀😀😀
Starliner is a HUGE fail!
I didn't giggle coz I think it's impossible! It's unimpressive to me, if it is even caught.
Why don’t they try a hop with a booster to test catching the booster?
Lol, von vorn sieht Felix aus wie Dr. Strange, von oben wie ein junger Picard. (No hate, Brudi, wir lieben dich!!!)
So If dragon is designed for seven people why can’t they put six seats in it? I haven’t heard some thing that’s stupid in a long time
It is like Einstein thought. The beauty is in the simple.
This Raptor 3 on the photo is so clean I thought it was an incomplete 3D render XD 😂
It's almost like this thing is naked to the bones 😯
"That's impossible": Do you remember that experts said that it's impossible to land an orbital rocket propulsively? (with engines only).
They said something like: 'it's physically impossible to start a rocket engine in hypersonic speed against the oncoming air pressure, that's just not possible. That would never work.
And there's a reason that NASA doesn't land their rockets: Because it's impossible'.
The experts said something like this and some laughed at SpaceX.
Well, SpaceX tried and it works now very reliable to land the boosters of their orbital rockets.
So it's just a matter of fine tuning to catch the Starship booster. That's an engineering problem, not even rocket science. So, it's doable.
After they figured it out and dialed in all parameters correctly for catching, they would need a low wind, a predictable low wind or no wind. Just like for landing the Falcon9 boosters.
They landed the Superheavy booster softly in the water and in the line of sight of that buoy. So, they already know how to slow down that giant booster and bring it round about where they want it to be.
And I guess, they have escape maneuvers when the position would not be right, unable to correct it. They might fly out to a predeclared place in the ocean (that's what all others do with their boosters, dump them in the ocean…).
And catching Starship (the upper stage) has more to it, withstand the entry heating and so on — and then it's about the same, do a precision landing at the catch tower.
——
Oh by the way, the current tower could become a catch tower only and the new one with the flame trench could become the new launch (and catch) tower.
It's just a guess. But when the new tower is so much better for launching…
Thanks
_.holes win.
16:49 they should have built the factory around the house with the people that didnt want to sale. Hahahaha
I would be peaved if I got kicked off my one and only chance to goto space
Spacex needs a reverse can crusher.. an instantaneous load test machine to test the arms.
The FAA is either being used to punish Elon or they are tottally incopentant
Why people don't subscribe is beyond me. As much work as SpaceX and Elon Musk do i would be ashamed if I didn't subscribe, but that's just me. I can't wait to see SpaceX go to the moon and set up a permanent structure for working out of before the Chinese,.. who've been stealing every single idea SpaceX comes up with. They'll probably even steal the space suit being specially designed for SpaceX astronauts.
Imminent domain…
Hope they got what they wanted for that land…
its crazy how much of a failure boeing starliner is and it still hasnt returned and butch and suni are still stuck on ISS due to starliners failures wow.
so how far along tower 2 are they now since its been some time since we heard anything about tower 2 think it was 2 episodes ago now.
Thanks!
