Mars Colonization News and Updates

The Space Race is dedicated to the exploration of outer space and humans' mission to explore the universe. We’ll provide news and updates from everything in space, including the SpaceX and NASA mission to colonize Mars and the Moon. We’ll focus on news and updates from SpaceX, NASA, Starlink, Blue Origin, The James Webb Space Telescope and more. If you’re interested in space exploration, Mars colonization, and everything to do with space travel and the space race... you’ve come to the right channel! We love space and hope to inspire others to learn more!

"rapid unplanned disassembly" 😂

[elck]

It’s just insane how big starship is - to see it lift off is amazing

[sander]

Love this, not saying your other videos are bad or anything, but this is way better!

[julianfiacconi]

Well presented, thanks. All your videos seem well researched.

[andresp.]

A little unfair to call that a rough ride. The progress between flight 2 and 3 is nothing short of outstanding. Bring on #4!

[tom_skip]

I am looking forward to any new videos of you. I especially like the colony videos and the current advancement in those fields of research

[pwmiles]

Fantastic, informative vid esp, about spacex. Subscribed

[richardknapp]

Very nicely done!
One point: you mentioned StarShip using hot gas thrusters. I think they are using ullage thrusters at this time with hot gas ones in development.

[MikeGentry]

lol, it was those dreaded "hot gas thrusters" that failed... even though it doesn't have hot gas thrusters.

I think June for IFT4; I had goosebumps from launch, and even more when I noticed that plasma these were unseen videos ever.

This, the 3rd Space-X Starship test flight, took place on March 14, 2024, the 2nd was on November 18, 2023, and the 1st was on April 20, 2023.

Did they explode the booster manually right before it hit the ground? I thought "huh, it's weird that it stopped slightly above the ground, farewell stage 1"

[saumyacow]

Good coverage. A lot of commentators ignore or underplay the shedding of debris. I'd love to see more analysis of that. Also, its pretty clear from this footage that you can't blame sloshing of fuel for the failure of the raptors to relight in the booster. Raptors have had a chequered history and unless and until SpaceX starts being open about this issue I'm going to point the finger at the Raptor design being pushed too hard.

Rapid unplanned disassembly sounds like all components just went back to their warehouse racks ☺

[emceha]

Fuel transfer should be between different ships,

[larryrich]

8:50 they’re really space based nuclear weapons most definitely

[semorgh]

when the spaceship coming back down and it rolls toward the part that is not covered by Tiles the reason is that most of the MASS of spaceship is not at the belly of spaceship that has the tiles, to BALANCE such MASS during entry is not possible because everything has been fixated into the body and MASS concentration toward the Belly does not happen. there must be a part of engine or payload that can move and adjust the mass toward the Belly where the Heat tiles are and when it gets close to landing the same mass needs to go back in its original state.

[markhuebner]

Wings generally are more effective than thrusters, unless it is in vacuum. The plasma indicates some atmosphere, but 'space' is considered to start at 100km/60mi, & this trajectory peaked @~200mi, I think.

[wannabegeek]

They need to fire the booster engines before entering atmosphere to reduce speed enough for the control surfaces to be able to handle the maneuver.

@TheSpaceRaceYT - What happened to your outro? I haven't heard you do an outro in a while.
