Alien vs Starship, SpaceX Starship Updates, DART Mission, Russia's Prichal & JWST incident

Wow has this been a busy week for the space industry. We have Alien vs Starship (ground support updates), overall SpaceX Starship Updates, DART Mission, Russia's Prichal &and the JWST incident. We’ll kick off initially with updates at Starbase with Starship development. There is a lot to talk about with the launch tower and launch table systems. We had the beautiful DART mission launch by SpaceX on a Falcon 9 mid week. Russia's Prichal Module launch adding a fresh new extension to the International Space Station, and a bit of a scare for the James Webb Space Telescope. Strap in... this one is packed!

This SpaceX community is just unbelievable with the amount of knowledge, detail and renderings generated for SpaceX fans . Keep up the great work.

As an intern who used to work on DART I’m so happy it’s getting the recognition it deserves.

"Planetary defense" sounds so good to my ears due to the amount of sci fi movies and games I have been playing/watching

So basically, SpaceX has built140m tall skyscraper with Fuel lines, 8 massive tanks, a doughnut-shaped table on top of 6 pillars and 2 jumbo-sized chopsticks in like 9 months? Wow.

It's actually kind of amazing how similar the N1 and superheavy are. From engines to gridfinds to testing, spaceX definitely took a lot of inspiration.

I was so happy to see Astra succeed; I appreciated that feature in this week’s video! Once again, it’s great that you include updates on a wide range of space companies. Thanks for the video, and for the recent midweek video as well!

Excellent again, Marcus House. Thanks to you, Ryan Hansen, Blender 3D and Space Enthusiast for the fascinating suppositions about the function of the spin-up gases (Helium) that will probably serve to spin up the outer-ring of engines prior to lift off. The other news (Prichal, JWST and Astra) was also very helpful.

It's certainly been an exciting week. .. Thank you MH + Team as always. ..

[LucianoBargmann]

Thanks for the weekly space updates Marcus!

[JakeSilvester]

Crazy what they’ve built so quickly! Thank you to all private space enterprises!

[hillzachary]

Another great video Marcus. Thank you for what you do!

[TheBenghaziRabbit]

[hexacarbide]

Man i always wanted to know how that holding ring Thx so much may not be exact but simply amazing and seems the most accurate

[ape_on_rhino]

[Nobe_Oddy]

I hardly ever leave comments but I should because I look forward to your video EVERY Saturday morning!! It is my routine and I LOVE IT!!
Thank you SO MUCH for EVERYTHING you do Marcus, you really are helping the world to learn more about progress into space, one video at a time!! THANK YOU!!! <3

[SpenserFL]

I really enjoy your videos - not a moment of wasted time so it's very easy to watch to the end. Thanks for all the work!

[PanzerYeena]

I would expect the JWST to be fine after some vibration like that. After all, being launched to space on a rocket is not exactly a Rolls-Royce comfort cruise.

So now Mechazilla is part Tank! Thank you for that lovely image!

[JohnSostrom]

I am finally back. I truly enjoy your streams and the content covering such a wide range of space related material. Thanks again.
