Starship Orbital Booster Moved to Launch Pad with All 29 Raptor Engines

Ep 251. This is a complimentary clip from this week's Tuesday episode of SpaceX in the News. There's a ton of major events happening with Starship, so I wanted to at least share some of them with all of you before Friday.

The project management on this project is by far the best I have ever heard of. Those work crews are some of the best in the world. Id love to see them give some credit for those workers.

Not an assumption - Everyday Astronaut's interview with Musk confirmed that the grid fins will not need to be folded down anymore.

[zaguar]

Seeing the Superheavy with all those Raptors, one can't help but think, "That's a big freakin' rocket!"

[CrmsonFir]

NOT FIRST!!! OK moving on. SpaceX is moving at a much faster pace than I thought even possible. SpaceX is obviously fast with what they accomplish yet I still find myself amazed in how much they have built in such a short time.

[LibertyEver]

It's painful to see driven engineers and entrepreneurs stymied by bureaucratic government regulators.

[bearlemley]

Wikipedia says that the N1 was the most powerful rocket ever “BUILT”, which now needs revision.

[InfiniteSpaceMedia]

It’s crazy how quick things are progressing! Awesome informative video!

[plurplursen]

Space-X gets further with their rockets in 1 day, then Blue Origen does in 1 unbelievable

[juliancrooks]

This will be the most spectacular flight ever or the biggest explosion of all time

[MinneapolisRaven]

Great photos, great coverage!
You're getting really good a this.
Keep up the awesome work!

[DanielRichards]

just watched the Part 1 of the Everyday Astronaut SpaceX tour with Elon, sounds like they don't plan to ever made the grid fins retractable, the added weight of the mechanism isn't worth the drag trade off of having them extended at all times.

[LordFalconsword]

Elon might need to cut a check to The Big Guy to grease the wheels.

[richieward]

I'm not convinced this thing will fly, looking at all those raptor engines it more likely to just push the earth out the way

FAA always being the problem, they should've made this assessment way earlier

[bearlemley]

The FAA never finds everything is in ship shape and good to go. They must justify their existence has been my experience even if the changes they demand make very little sense.

[roelwieggers]

FAA needs to get thier shit together. I cant wait. Is spacex supposed to let this rocket just stand there till FAA has thier work at snail pace done?

[DanielPearson]

The flag flying at 0:32 says "FULL SEND" in a very patriotic font. Yup, sounds about right.

[Timebaron]

I've been here a few days and it's incredible! Even met Tim D. very quickly. I'm in geek mode fer sure .

[LostPhysx]

In Tim Dodds' most recent tour of Starbase Elon Musk said, that the Superheavy gridfins will not be folded at all, they are static!
