SpaceX's new Plan to Launch Starship V3 after Flight 8 V2 Exploded Again...
One year ago, Elon Musk shocked the world with the introduction of V2 and V3.
Now, V2 has been deployed, but what about V3?
Many believe it’s still years away, but what if it’s closer than we think? Recent challenges with V2 suggest that V3 could make an earlier debut than expected.
So, when might it be implemented? And why could it soon replace V2?
Let’s dive into all the details on today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
SpaceX's new Plan to Launch Starship V3 after Flight 8 V2 Exploded Again...
Perhaps no other flight has made viewers feel as nervous, anxious, and excited as Flight 8. Although the delays weren’t excessively long, they were frustratingly frequent, even halting the countdown with less than a minute to go. But eventually, everything was resolved, and the flight took off. However, as you saw, Flight 8 once again exposed critical issues.
While the mission achieved the impressive milestone of the third overall and second consecutive successful capture of the Booster using Mechazilla Arms, there were still problems with Super Heavy’s engines during the boost-back burn. But the real focus was on the Ship. The second version of Starship V2, S34, exhibited the same failure as its predecessor, S33. Once again, it seemed that pressure issues and fuel leaks led to engine failures, ultimately causing the Ship to lose control.
This raises an important question: Do we need a breakthrough upgrade to solve these persistent issues in V2—perhaps pushing forward directly to V3?

At first glance, it might seem unbelievable, but considering recent developments, it’s entirely possible. The repeated delays and failures in Flight 8 revealed multiple problems, affecting various parts of the vehicle.
First, Super Heavy encountered a pressure issue. According to Elon Musk, the fuel pressure during transfer from the tank to the engines dropped below the required threshold, which affected performance and nearly jeopardized liftoff.

To be resolved, thank you.

Sorry but the click bait has grown worse over the last few month.. time to back out and hide channel from my feed. NSF all the way for proper spaceX news

[hubble]

I remember when Apollo was flying the "experts" always talked about triple redundancies being built in the systems, but this kind of design choices increases weight and makes the ship cost more! This really is complex rocket science!

What was learned from Flights 7 and 8? So far SS-V2 has a 0% success rate.

Moving onto SS-V3 before finding out the exact cause of the failure of SS-V2 could mean the inherent fault/cause in SS-V2 could be inherited by SS-V3 meaning it will be as unsuccessful as SS-V2.

SpaceX needs to test SS-V2 to destruction to understand what the exact source of the failure so they can implement changes in SS-V3 before it befalls the same fare as Ss-2, the F.A.A. could possibly be forced to ground SpaceXs' launches over safety concerns over debris re-entry over a populated area.

More clickbait!

For all we know the harmonic resonance issues being seen in V2 were also present in V1 but that more complicated design was less susceptible to it. And SpaceX may find those same harmonic resonance issues in V3. Given the tremendous power generated by the Raptor engines, this may be an issue that'll take some major engineering leaps in order to mitigate. That said, I suspect Musk's engineers are capable of figuring out a long term solution.

[DG-wofx]

The primary reoccurring problem in V2 is the harmonic resonance, which was several times stronger in flight than in testing. In other words, it shook itself until something failed.
Yeah, it is good to beef up the weak points, but the main thing to fix is the oscillation! V1 didn't have this problem.

I know you need to hook in viewers but your video title is, generously, factually incorrect or, less generously, an outright lie. Please don't let your quality slip to this standard. I'm subscribed but this is disappointing.

[sweetpuppies]

I’m ever more convinced the entire project is flawed and way too ambitious. I’ve been struggling with the need for a thing like this from the start.
By now I can’t even see it performing at 10% of the promised capabilities.

[donaldtrammel]

Good morning, let’s get this ship up and running with V3. 🚀🚀🚀

[trumanhw]

Refueling in LEO is expected to require ~10-15 dockings—any one of which could destroy the vehicle. Before refueling in LEO, Starship should connect to an intermediary device to indemnify the vehicle from errors.

[mikehawes]

More click bait. This headline is false. I can’t watch more of your stuff. After continued warnings, you refuse to get it right. Bye!

[direbearcoat]

The problems with V2 will carry over to V3. The only differences are larger tanks, and Raptor 3 engines. The issues that caused the RUDs may still exist. V3 may still have the same issue as V2.

So, solve the problem of V2 before moving to V3.

[fabiopignata]

Unsubscribing, sorry tons of words with little to zero information. Pls go back to fewer vids and actual news

[philippostiglione]

Mars is further off than one might think. A successful orbital flight will be good place to start.

[sagecoach]

The next version testing will save time if they are ready to build it.
They have lots of data on version two for the entire launch cycle including failures.

[theaxiologist]

Title is misleading. It's not SpaceX's announced plan, only speculation on the part of the video creator

[toonachris]

I watched the first 45 seconds of this video and came here to the comments. Your titles are not factual. They are click bait. I don’t think I’ve really gotten any unique information from any of your videos. Also stock photos and videos overlaid in your videos are just lazy. It makes your videos seem cheap. If you’re just honest with people and give them good information, you’ll do a lot better. But right now I am blocking this channel.

[garylriedl]

Dump V2 and move on to V3 and the newer raptor 3 engines.

[Kristu.]

i dunno if would be possible to use ship v3 with booster v1, just this made the shift to v3 right now impossible, they are still using booster v1...

Block one made it to space so it's definitely fixable

[Raptorman]

Why is it assumed the problem lies with the design of the rocket and not the pad? It appears that propellant leaks are common with Starship and why would Starship be continuing to struggle with prop leaks? Well, what if the plumbing for Starship is being damaged during launch when all 33 sea-level Raptors are pumping out some 360M Horse Power, or 270GW of rocket power. If just 1% of that power is in the form of acoustic energy and shockwaves that would still be around 2.7GW of sound power bathing the stack. Then add in the vents below the engine bay for Starship, you know, the vents that make up the hot staging ring, what effect do those vents have in channeling that enormous acoustic energy and power into the engine bay of Starship with the result that some of the plumbing is damaged. Interestingly, the first stage, Super Heavy, may be somewhat protected from the enormous acoustic power by the very operation of the engines that produce it, somewhat as a reentry burn seems to protect the booster from adiabatic heating of reentry.
