What do you think? Are these new tanks for pressurization, and is SpaceX done with autogenous pressurization? Is SpaceX making up for the lower capability of booster 15? Or do they want to give Booster 15’s head a hat?

0:41 tf that dude in the container doin lol

The workers and engineers at Starbase are absolutely amazing! It's like we are living in the future! 😎

[DavidSmith-fzju]

Most people just don't appreciate how amazing this all is.

Felix be yourself, you and your team bring great updates and videos and a little laughter goes a long way too, every episode of What About It is enjoyable and to have a bot of banter is great, keep it up Felix and team, what a lovely job for space X enthusiasts. 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇲

Catching a starship booster would be a major "proof of concept" moment.
Looking forward to seeing it.

[MaddogJones]

Holy moly a whole video with NO pandering for donations or to buy your merch or sub to some other service... How refreshing to NOT be hounded every other minute! Thank you...

The Polaris Dawn Mission always sounded cool, but when put in the perspective that this is the first time a single company has all the means, a rocket, capsule, space suits, etc to do a space walk mission, that really hit hard. That's both support cool and kinda terrifying.

[Nathan-vtjz]

Please make sure you have a good streaming connection and setup for the launch! I really want to watch it with WAI, but the last stream was hard to watch with all the connection issues. It was the first time I didn’t share the livestream with family.

Please take this as encouragement/constructive feedback from a fan and patreon supporter. Thanks for your enthusiasm and work!

That Polars Dawn mission with its spacewalk will be incredible.

[gamerbros]

The first mention of a manned starship launch being actually planned now is just amazing! Polaris 3 is going to be awsome!

[adak]

Between the catch attempt of the booster on Starship flight 5 and the upcoming Polaris Dawn mission with the first private space walk, testing new Space X EVA suits it's maybe the most exciting time in space travel since we landed on the Moon. Just hope mainstream media wakes up and covers it....

[ericgeorge]

I am super excited about Polaris Dawn. But it is kind of embarrassing that we are just barely duplicating something that Gemini 4 did in 1965.

when mentioning the upcoming use of the payload bay door, Felix followed with a perfectly timed and enunciated Yes. His technical knowledge and humor knowledge place him near the top of the space age.

[andynon]

i have a few concern's about the touch screens in the Dragon under the vacuum, i say this because i did some testing on a smart phone under vacuum last year & had delamination problems with the screen, i hope the folks at SpacX have accounted for this potential issue, the bigger the screen the bigger the problem due to the fluid between the laminate

[dq]

With a smouldering intense look at the camera Felix growls, “Yessss”

[SebastianWellsTL]

Man, I love this channel! It's a perfect combination of comedy and educational content!

[Shattered]

i just want to remind WAI that while the small comedy parts are nice, i feel like recently they are getting too much. Most of your audience aren't kids, and we already have a great deal of background knowledge of what spacex has been up too these past years. so enough with explaining obvious things in every episode. i think Marcus House does a good job at presenting his Saturday space updates in a lighthearted yet formal way.
i am not a hater, i have been watching this channel for over two years now and i only want the best for the WAI team

2:19 Felix, there's a little something wrong with your calendar. 🤣

[vmoutsop]

I like how at the 45 second mark there is a guy who walks in and out of a trailer about 10 times in a row in the time lapse. 🤣🤣🤣
