Welcome back to an absolutely incredible week, my friends! I hope you’ve got a coffee or snack in hand because there’s just so much exciting stuff to dive into today. SpaceX and Polaris Dawn just made history! We’ve got our usual Starship updates, a fresh look at NASA's upcoming mission plans. But we can’t forget the latest frustration surrounding the FAA and Starship Flight 5. That’s right, we have SpaceX’s Starship Plans Thrown Off Course! What’s Really Going On? Let’s unpack it all!

It’s impressive how you get these videos produced with up to date content religiously every Saturday. I don’t worry about missing things during the week because I know I can catch up every Saturday through your videos. Please don’t ever stop doing this! Things are only getting more interesting!

Wife of the guy who makes the 3D printed rockets here! Thanks so much for sharing Stardesk, it means the world!

Always depend on our reliable Saturday report from Marcus. No horrible headlines, no AI, no over excitement. Just upto date details. Thank you.

"Back at home we all have alot of work to do, but from here, Earth sure looks like a perfect world." Hits different when you're mid-graveyard shift trying to watch the livestream on a tiny phone screen. I understand what my Grandma meant by Niel's quote making people cry.

Thanks for all your hard work in making this video and keeping us informed

When every other SpaceX focused YouTuber(other than Tim Dodd) has devolved into grasping at straws and Clickbait content, i’m continuously blown away how rich, interesting, and relevant the content is in every one of your videos. Keep up the good work!

Marcus, it's interesting that you noticed the softer landing of Falcon 9. Some of the other landings seem softer than usual as well. Seems that after the recent mishap, they are further optimizing the landings. SpaceX is relentlessly improving!!!

Mr. House, I must say, this may certainly have been your best update yet. The combination of this weeks space related activity, achievements and records, combined with your ever pleasant and enthusiastic demeanour as always displayed in your presentations is hard to beat. Then with the stunning footage compiled and incorporated in the editing process, man, you gave me goose bumps a couple times through out. This one was a masterpiece!!!

27min 35sec, a new length record. When you started I wondered how you would find enough content for a weekly 20min video. Now I’m surprised that you can keep in under a half hour with everything happening.

Great work as always and thanks for a Saturday morning highlight.

Marcus, the second 75% that EVA was visible thanks to a SpaceX ground station receiving the video stream from the Dragon module back down here in our beautiful Tasmania! The first 25% or so of the EVA I believe was from a ground station somewhere in WA. What I found most surprising is the video stream of the EVA cut out just off the Northern tip of NZ just as EV2 was rounding up. This confirms the feed was still being received in Tasmania, and hence no working SpaceX ground station in NZ. To be sure, I computed the distance to the horizon was 2680km for a Dragon module at a 549km altitude at the time, which when drawn on Google Earth is the exact distance from the ground station in central Tasmania at 640m altitude to the shown position just off the NE tip of New Zealand when it cut out.

Great to see a fellow Australian with such an amazing content! It's always informational and exciting to watch your videos!

[NavyDood]

Watching the Polaris Dawn launch and then EVA was amazing. That first view outside the capsule made me cray a bit, cant imagine actually being up there.

[remaincalm]

How I laughed when Marcus said it takes the FCC longer to do their paperwork than it takes SpaceX to prepare the largest rocket in the world for its next flight. True words.

Guys! Thanks so much for diving into that crane a bit! I was really wondering these past couple of weeks about how that thing actually works! Giving us content and context is really what makes this channel stand out!

[mdeasy]

Marcus buddy, you and your team put out the best SpaceX content. Always happy to see your videos pop up!

[josephwisniewski]

Don’t forget that Anna and Sarah also now hold the record for the biggest hair in space.

This is one of the most un-clickbait video titles from Marcus

[TroyRubert]

The process is the punishment. Change my mind.

[onedaya_martian]

Great Work Markus
Thanks so much to you and your crew !!!

I can’t praise the Marcus House channel high enough. Superb work. I downloaded and subscribed to that Ground News last month… super APP also. Thanks
