Can SpaceX make the march test launch happen and should NASA give SpaceX a bit more credit?

Felix, you are now at the high end for reporting on space and SpaceX. I watch 'em all, but I believe that I can say your work is near perfect for delivering a balance of scuttlebutt, detail and overview. It seems to be a cooperative community of broadcasters, but now you are a permanent member. I love your work. Congrats.

Spacex: assembles starship in 8 weeks
Boeing: our tank is orange.

"If SpaceX can pull this off they will make all of the others look silly."
That was pretty funny dude. Well done.

[coltonfertig]

I still cant believe how fast Starship is coming along!

[agrr]

Starship progress is crazy, I'm watching this day by day, seeing history unfold, amazing!

In the industrial world we do test to over pressure, at least 10%, sometimes 25%. Depends on the application. If you just test to actual usage pressure, you have no confidence you are covered for abnormal events.

Everyone referring to SpaceX' manufacturing methods: "It just isn't done"
SpaceX: "Right back at ya"

I love the irony, Dragon loses windows, while Starship has massive ones. It would be interesting to see if they use transparent aluminum blocks for Windows.

I think everyone should be expecting some sort of failure during this initial flight. That's what testing is all about.

[luisyasuoka]

I love the way you put it! In my opinion is very honest, realistic and accurate "this is Starship we're talking about, something that WILL find a place in history IF it succeeds". Thank you so much!!! Keep up the good work!

[CrispyMOFO]

Sometimes I get sad. But then I'm reminded of what SpaceX and Elon Musk are doing and it gets me excited for the future.

[greenw]

Had to watch this episode twice to properly absorb all the information. Good job!

[LuigiRBedin]

Youtube should have way more than 40k followers...
Thank for the great job man!
You are the one that rocks!
👍🖖🤟❤🧠

[shadowraith]

Optimistic timelines to say the least. That's Musk though. Take with the "proverbial grain of salt". I just hope that all the hype for Starship come to pass. The first Crew Dragon flight will be tense, to say the least. Thanks for the timely updates.👍🚀👍

[MarcusHouse]

Wow mate. Awesome recap. Congrats on the massive growth. In this video you say 40K.. bollocks... it is 42k. :)

Good Evening , Felix !
Great Update !!!! You make it so much more INTERESTING !
Keep them coming !

[steveo]

Hands down the best SpaceX/ space news channel out there!! Always nice long episodes twice a week and it’s obvious Felix knows what he’s talking about! Love getting notified of new content!!🚀🚀🚀

"If SpaceX can pull this off they will make all of the others look silly."
Don't they already look silly? I think they look at least a little bit silly.
Hey, when SpaceX does it, somehow it's cooler. Just saying.

[waynethompson]

I SO want to see the Crew Dragon launch WITH CREW!!! Want it to be done safely, but really eager to see it go!
