Starship Flight Test 7 — Far Beyond What We Imagined

Well this week has been one of the more intriguing I’ve got to say. Starship Flight Test 7 has Upgrades that are Far Beyond What We Imagined! So many great new insights, and it is stacked and fully tested before flight. New Glenn NG-1 is set to launch Sunday morning, Falcon 9 to launch 2 moon landers on one flight with Firefly Blue Ghost and iSpace Hakuto-R Mission 2, diving into the Parker Solar Probe and the Mars Sample Return Mission Update too! It's a big one friends!

unlike with other space community youtubers, you just be giving free shoutouts to people i didnt even know existed! i wont be able to buy any of her artwork but man is it beautiful.

No BS here...just one important detail after another with original content. Quite an achievement to put all of this together in just a week. Amazing work. Thank you.

Im hoping one of these "dummy" satellites won't be so dummy. I'm hoping they'll put some cameras on one to see the starship from the outside. And possibly catch a shot of it as it begins to reenter the atmosphere. That would be cool.

Thanks Marcus - a little support to help your most excellent channel!

[Seedy]

My guy... This is the first video of yours I've ever seen and I'm really impressed. Fantastic information and analysis that I haven't seen from many of my other subs recently and ALSO great audio quality. Will definitely be sticking around for future development updates 👍

[Lowell]

Marcus, you are light years ahead of all other space news related channels. I can tell you're an outstanding human and it really shows, genuine enthusiasm, a gift to us all. Keep doing what you do so well, Brother !

Im glad they moved it from friday to monday. I really don't need a reason to look forward to a friday, but a reason to look forward for a monday is really nice 😊

[kenhazelbaker]

Marcus - I love the compression of the Falcon 9 coverage = thanks for responding so quickly and positively.

[FerociousPancake]

This is going to be a crazy weekend if we get to see NG & starship take off just a few days from each other! Space nerds are eating good this year, calling it now.

[BMrider]

Bravo Marcus. Another excellent updates video.
I'm looking forward to you, Scott and Fraser doing a postmortem analysis for IFT#7, and NG1.😊

15:29 LISTER is the most crowbarred in acronym that ever created a Red Dwarf reference in the history of space flight. OK, perhaps the only one but dang I think they were reaching a little on that one. Still cool having a Red Dwarf reference though.

Hello from NH, USA! LOVE my Saturday mornings with Marcus!!!

[elizabethhoeppner]

I love seeing all the new satellite probes and rovers to gather samples on the Moon. More data is great science 😊

[torgeb]

I just love your videos. The way you condense all the updates into easy to understand, coherent messages (both for people with and without experience in the aerospace sector) is wonderfully done. And on top of that, you even collect all these amazing shots showing exactly what you're describing. I love watching these before an upcoming launch, because they tell me what to be looking for, what to expect in terms of the flight schedule and even what's inside the launch vehicle. Thanks Marcus!

[bminerrolltide]

Loved the format. Glad you lingered on the upcoming lunar missions. Very exciting stuff coming!

[cipedead]

Love what you do. Have not missed a week. Thank you for keeping it real for us.

[Siriusastronomy]

Thanks Marcus! Great, enthusiastic and informative video as always. You are the best of all the Space News commentators and I so look forward to your weekly updates. So many huge events coming this week. Hoping for success for both big rockets. Thanks for updating us on Parker and the additional missions. I appreciate your depth of coverage! Thank you!!

[justinc]

It sure made some pretty colors in the sky.

[thomasboomer]

Hello Marcus. Great coverage sir. I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my most trusted sources of detailed information on all things space related. Thanks for the great coverage.

[DanielZajic]

Simply outstanding coverage. Gives us some ability to appreciate the awesome work SpaceX is doing. It's mind-blowing how fast they're innovating.
