How SpaceX Will Change The Entire Starship Launch Mount!

Ship 31 rolls to Masseys. Will it spark this time? Tower 2 on the move! When Stack? A not-so-reusable launch pad. How will they fix it? Another hurricane on its way. Only this time, it's big! And a Chinese rocket performs a not-so-static, static fire.

What do you think? How long will it take for the first full Block 2 Starship to appear?

[rjm]

I'm continually amazed at how fast SpaceX learns and makes design changes in both its space craft and ground support equipment. It's the firms greatest strength, and I hope firmly embedded in its culture.

To my understanding, having lived near boca chica in the RGV, there is no "bedrock" within several hundred feet of the ground. Piles are sunk sufficiently deep for them to become, in effect, the "bedrock" and basically almost immovably stable.

IFT-5 is gonna be a awesome to see, i can’t wait for the launch

[jessielopez]

"...the test stand could no longer hold the rocket down. That is bad." I almost snorted my coffee.

[trekguy]

Fingers crossed the hurricane won’t do too much to set them back.

[XCX]

I think this version of mechazilla is is actually expendable at this point so it can be completely updated. Hence the catch attempt this soon

[sylvan]

Casualty doesn’t just mean death it’s deaths or injuries.

noun
“a person killed or injured in a war or accident.”

[Winkkin]

I think the biggest problem was there not being a flame trench. I'm confident that version 2 will have everything it needs to handle the demands of multiple launches.

[larryrich]

This channel is great him and Tim are the best streamers about space X there are, please keep it up guys

[XCX]

What people forget or just don't know is that these ships are designed to gather data rather than nesisarily succeed. Designed for SpaceX to learn and find issues that data alone cant give them.

It appears that the Ship quick disconnect (SQD) is not moving far enough to get out of the high-speed entrained air flow around the exhaust plume produced by the 33 Booster engines. It's that entrained air flow that's causing the damage to the SQD.

For those of us who have a hearing problem the audio could be be a bit louder
I am approaching my 91 year Have ben following Felix for a long time way before he moved to America

[RyshusMojo]

The Chinese engineer who tried to convince his superiors that the stand would not keep the rocket secure and was ruthlessly mocked and laughed at, was fired for not trying hard enough to convince them. Probably.

[dennisboulais]

I am amazed at how quickly the condtruction crews finish their projects. Who ever they have controlling their scheduling are masters at it.

[otpyrcralphpierre]

Maybe Elon delayed the rollout of B-12 because of the Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico?

[Funk_Reactions]

It’s CATCH time!!!! Also FUN FACT, did you know if you double tap a comment, it automatically like the comment. I don’t know that existed. Updated: this only work on mobile. I just notice .

[waynec]

I love your post-program bloopers!! Being tongue-tied can sure bring out some humor!! You do great work for us space enthusiasts Felix.

[victorkrawchuk]

It's probably easy to clone SpaceX rockets. It's a lot harder to clone SpaceX's success with its rockets.

[lanav]

Wow ! Love the Red Line Heli! So Super Cool !!
