Just Happened! Elon Musk just leaked New Starship Launch Timeline…
“Next launch, Starship launch is probably in about a month.”
OMG! What an incredible speed. Seven months, four months, and two months are the intervals between Starship test flights, and they are getting shorter.
And this time is no exception, the waiting time for the fifth Starship flight will be ready in just one more month.
So, why are Elon Musk and SpaceX turning around Starship launches with speed so fast?
What to expect in Flight 5? How many changes has Elon Musk upgraded on the next launch?
Let's find out on today's episode of Alpha Tech:
Just Happened! Elon Musk just leaked New Starship Launch Timeline…
In 2023, the first test flight of Starship caused significant damage to the launch pad and discovered numerous technical details that needed refinement related to the Starship rocket, which required SpaceX a lot of time to fix and address. This led to extended delays until the second flight.
However, living up to its reputation as the king in the space race, by the fourth Starship launch, SpaceX had cut the wait time by more than half.
Now, with most of the issues with the launch pad and rocket resolved, SpaceX can quickly conduct more test flights to improve technology and gather data.
And Elon Musk believes that the fifth Starship test flight will take place in a month.
Just Happened! Elon Musk just leaked New Starship Launch Timeline…
So, what upgrades will Elon Musk and SpaceX prepare for this early launch?
During the live broadcast on X, in addition to revealing the new launch schedule for Flight 5, Elon Musk also shared new upgrades for the massive spacecraft to increase the chances of success not only for the upcoming flight but also for future missions.

Way to go - Elon and all of the SpaceX team...Wonderful

[JSStewart]

Why not build a separate landing tower some distance from the launch tower? Any landing problems would not end up potentially destroying launch capability.

[PanioloBee]

IMO, SpaceX should prefect catching with a half size tower located in a safe location in the event of a miss or a collision with the tower.

[ericlovely]

Hot take: Don't expect a tower catch next flight. I say ace the virtual, again. Mechazilla is too valuable to risk at this time! They don't have a 2nd tower yet...

[lutzfilor]

He didn't leaked he announced the launch timetable, because you don't listen to Elon, when he makes claimes to build engines in days ... what do you do with so many engines?
You launch with a higher and higher cadence

[zarl]

When and if r we going to see the recovery of the booster and starship-i mean they did not sink right? Would be great to see the damage done upon re entry and splashdown.

[robertporch]

Why not practice catching the Falcon 9 booster on its pad until perfected just so the megazilla tower is not destroyed. Or, build a catch only tower away from the main launch tower, just until you get this thing down pat, so as not to risk destroying all the vital equipment at the main tower in case of a crash.

[geraldwilcox]

Would a flame trench better help the heat tiles to less problems of coming off. Would a flame trench relieve the launch vibration and percussion at launch which would seem to help the heat shield from malfunction

[stargalacticfederation]

Elon Musk should use Mechazilla to catch the Rocket on the 6th flight test after the second launch Tower is finished being built,
in case something goes wrong he can use the second Tower to launch the next Starship Rocket.

[donaldhouse]

Save America Vote for Donald J Trump for President of the United States of America.

[kczghbe]

You really think those engines failed? Or was testing involved!

[johncochrane]

Wondering if reducing wire and mechanized controls could be upgraded to use a wireless system

[clavo]

Great SpaceX Stuff !! Seems obvious that there should be an emergency floating Mechazilla out in the bay; Assuming the engines are worth saving.

[doronb-a]

Change the "contact-point" (Bitween Ship-and-Tower) to rotating Cylinder: To prevent TileDamage

[thesurvivalist.]

The tower and super heavy, should have 6 laser aligners to guide the super heavy!

[Cwg.]

Is it really a leak if elon is putting it out there?

[Funnyvideosorcoolcontent]

THANK YOU FOR GETTING ABLATIVE RIGHT!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[greggweber]

Is there a relationship like the one with things either being hard and brittle, or being softer and able to survive heavy shocks?

[eqhzecj]

SpaceX needs to build a second recovery Tower because of the first try landing I think they could possibly demolish their current Tower and that would make bigger problems for SpaceX they should have a recovery Tower away from oxygen and methane tanks and everything else before before they try a tower landing

[jeffkaraokeking]

So how can it land on the moon or anywhere else without a tower? Cant see the catch being
