SpaceX Finally Does The Last Big Starship Test Before Flight 5!

SpaceX’s Starship Ship 30 for the next launch is complete… but requires more testing? Starbase’s Starship Tower Two goes up faster and faster! Will it go up in time to meet the goal? Is SpaceX really going to destroy the ISS for NASA? Why is NASA’s moon rover being replaced by concrete? Essential building blocks for life on Mars. Does this mean life on Mars?

An added ablative layer below and a higher grade heat tile on top. Is this going to make it through reentry? What do you think?

[Kyplanet]

There’s an open letter to Congress going around people can sign to hopefully reverse the cancellation of VIPER

[michaelhess]

Viper over budget, cancel it. SLS over budget, SPEND MORE! Yep, love our congress.

[Chuck]

Also...SpaceX is gonna give us an HD video feed of the ISS falling apart as well. Just like we've finally seen near real time plasma around an aerospace vehicle coming into the atmosphere, now we're going to see the International Space Station do it!

[Hawkido]

Send a tank of frozen potable water instead of concrete. Then at least the trip will not be pointless. It would be delivering a mass of an essential resource that could be retrieved during a lunar mission in that region.

[robwagnon]

One thing that SpaceX has gotten right. It's like I heard before, if you never make any mistakes, you never learn anything. Yet SpaceX is learning to not just fix errors but improve working structures. I hope to see a moon base in my lifetime:)

[allstars]

They aren't doubling the launch cadence you know they gonna lose the first one on the next test. That's not a diss they even know that, its literally why they are building that second tower before next test

[steveanddiddy]

Also, you could add more observation equipment, long term scientific experiments, and other stuff to make it even more useful. It may not be manned but automation would work well up there.

I explained that heat tile problem to my 13 year's old son and he was like "So why they don't make the heatshild like fish skin where each tile covers partially they neighbouring tiles. In this way the tiles are attached only on one side and they can expand". Well maybe not such a bad idea. Then, when you leave out the ablative layer maybe you can come out with around the same weight. The attachment to the body would be more complicated now but you would need only one or two attachement points

[sammyspaniel]

Can crusher, Pez dispenser. I love it. My 8 year-old called a skunk a fart squirrel the other day. Elon calls fingers "meat sticks".

18:10 Summer in Earth's Northern Hemisphere, you mean.

[hadlock]

The writing and especially the editing are f*cking on point today, you are firing on all 8 cylinders sir, keep up the good with

[edbrackin]

Nice animations showing the new Dragon.

[romanvonkolln]

Felix, greetings from good old Germany. (Bochum)
I will watch this episode now, but let me tell you, that no content on youtube (and Senkrechtstarter ;) ) means more to me than yours :) Still hope to meet you someday at Space Creator Day or somewhere else. What a journey so far!

[theoverworkedgardener]

Hopefully SpaceX puts a bunch of cameras on the International Space Station so we can see it when it disintegrates on the way down. Be a sad day but would be a cool thing to see you though

[geraldhuot]

Yes. Felix that does make sense. Always very educational! Love your videos!

[TheCebulon]

5:34 never recognized the stairs construction outside the tower base to get up to the actual (outside) stairs of tower 1.

[Chuck]

SpaceX literally and figuratively destroying the ISS, and NASAs entire model is so appropriate.

[lydia]

Wow, your enthusiasm is contagious! I just found your channel and I love your content. I wish I had found this sooner!

[the-real-iandavid]

Doesn't Earth have two summers? So, how can the Lunar summer be the same time as "Earth's summer"?
