We're extremely close to that next Starship launch in an unbelievably short amount of time. SpaceX is showing a pace that feels unreal at this point.
My bet is on a launch in late August. Maybe early September. What's your best bet?

Felix has been on the excitement coffee this morning.

Thanks Felix and crew! WAI is my favorite channel for SpaceX updates, look forward to every episode!

[CaptianInternet]

I watch this channel now for a few years and I have to admit that Felix went from very good to excellent. Thank you for this great content, Felix and team.

[Alarix]

6:37 the way you just said "August" with gusto is just incredible. Almost... incomprehensible.

[PanioloBee]

I’m in favor of scaled static testing to validate the OLM upgrades before a full all engine static test.

[goukux]

You do good work Felix. It's impressive how you've improved your channel over the months and years like starship itself. Really well done!

[wkelly]

I really love all the content you put out!
Your enthusiasm finishes it off.
Thank you so much!!❤

Felix and crew, another great show. Thanking the workers at SpaceX was a class act. Bless you all at WAI🙏🏻👍

About that sponsoring segments sitting and standing part: -A company I worked for had got into their heads that if sat down you didn't work -you rested -and that even if you did the work you were supposed to do and just as effectively as people standing up. They basically only counted you as working if you were standing up. They let the few chairs they had fall apart without replacing them.

Super fast work at Boca = pulled crews at Roberts Roads/Pad 39A. All in at Boca Chica getting Starship to orbit. Everything hinges on this steel plate working. If it does between rapid prototyping/Massey's doing cryo tests, launch cadence should significantly increase. Plus then they can switch crews back to the Cape. Finish Starship launch tower at 39A, New Falcon 9 crew launch tower at 40, may install third starship tower there too. 3 launch sites = starship launch 1/week. Lots of humans going into space = soon...

Everytime Felix says "Earthes" I think of the belters in the Expanse show saying "da eartha's no love fa de beltaloda's" that is all.

[reinhardbehringer]

Thanks for also mentioning metric measures like KG 😊

[ndnr]

Thanks to all Space X Staff and all the helping hands. You deserve respect PPL

[roelende]

This channel has grown up so much in Quality! Rock on Felix! The videos are great.

[geehammer]

Great work, love that you included some out-takes at the end.

I hope to see Starship launch again within the next couple of months.

[spundyo]

I must admit Felix, your enthusiasm is so refreshing! I find it difficult to have to wait for your next update!
the quality of pictures, videos, and narrative leaves all the rest of the auditors who are out there so far behind they must be lonely. keep up the great work, yours is the only program in town.

6:55 my favorite part of this week’s video

[larryparrish]

@13:32 I have seen this type of collapse before. while removing the atmosphere, a vacuum was created & held too long. this top appears to be sucked in.

I have to point out that the engineers didn't do the "hard work" that was done by the construction workers. I can tell you those guys have been working lots of overtime and are being pushed to complete asap. That being said the prefabrication and installation looks like it went very well. Good job to the entire Boca Chica work force, including the engineers.
