I really hope the flight goes perfectly. This test campaign has been a bright spot for this terrible year.

Can’t stop thinking about how the space industry will evolve in the coming 10-20 years. And how I can comfortably watch the progress from my chair for free!? Amazing world.
Thanks for these quality update videos man, makes every weekend a good weekend

Your voice matches what someone talking about SpaceX's rockets should be like. Like how Morgan freeman can talk about nature. It calms my soul.

[harshitpandya]

I can't believe this is happening man.Just in 2019 we had MK 1 and now we have reached SN8
Spacex is really good in rapid development and testing . Spacex is great.
Also thank you Marcus House for these awesome weekly updates.You all guys (NSF, Marcus house, RGV aerial photography, lab padre, and others )are doing a great job👍👍👍👍

[chillijilly]

Marcus, you are such an inspiration! So articulate and passionate, I love your space updates!

[clintatk]

Just when I get ready to jump ahead in your video, you move on to the next segment. You're crisp editing and delivery are impressive, Marcus! It should continue to win you lots of subs and patrons. 👍👍

Yeah I would say the 2 outside attachment points are the hinge points and the centre point is the actuator mounting position....

[JamesLewis]

Looking up the skirt, it seems much less "prototype" than previous examples.

[dinoschachten]

Seeing how many Starships are being assembled right now, they must indeed be confident about the general built, assuming the loss of Starships in manoeuvre testing is expected to be related to procedures or possibly the aerodynamic surfaces, not the basic structure...

Marcus, you always have a bit more detail and comprehensive information than any other SpaceX-related channel. Love your videos! Hadn't noticed (or seen it pointed out) that the COPVs indeed moved under the skirt. Plus the nosecone disassembly, and the exciting Twitter interactions about the flame diverter, mass ratio, ... Thank you so much for collecting all this exciting information so thoroughly! :)

Never heard of a 34 KG rocket that could reach the edge of space (I think). Go Australia! :)

[spartanalex]

I still love the joke that SpaceX has exploded more Starships than NASA has built SLSs.

[jezzter]

I also repeatedly watch the Falcon Heavy launch .. totally awesome :-)

[rocroc]

No flame diverter means only a limited number of Raptor engines will ever be installed on the Super Heavy at the new Boca Chica launch site. The Raptor has more than twice the power of the Merlin so I would say four or five Raptor engines at most. That is if they start all of the engines at the same time.

Just a quick history of Australia and rockets. Look up Woomera...a small town in the middle of Australia.
During the 1950s and 1960s, the complex was the second busiest rocket range in the world next to Cape Canaveral. Many may have forgotten this.

[jps]

The space program seems to be the only bright spot in this dumpster fire of a year! Thanks all involved in the space program and also those who bring us all this amazing news!

[rocroc]

Just a reminder that the SpaceX Grasshopper made eight successful flights in a row back in 2012/2013. Yes...I know there was a difference in the size of the rockets, 106 feet for the Grasshopper versus 59 feet for New Shepherd, and the distance traveled, but the Grasshopper actually demonstrated that it could move sideways and do pinpoint landings under heavy wind conditions:-)

[jaredthehall]

I think that the "Hey Hey" part of the video is the best because I just know that I am about to see a great video!

[lcagee]

The speed of development and testing at space x boca is really impressive. It reminds me a lot of what Werner Von Braun was doing in the 60s. Compared to NASAs glacial pace since 1972 it’s very cool to see.

[Kalain]

I think my favorite part of your content, aside from your cool accent and excellently summarized information, is your enthusiasm and excitement! That is what keeps me coming back, keep it up!

[JustMeADutchGuy]

Glad for your updates Marcus its so hard to keep up with these incredible fast developments.

[darthmoll]

im here on a Monday weird to not watch it on a Saturday morning...
