How Did SpaceX Starship Do During The BIGGEST Test Yet? - Largest Rocket Ignition In History Next!

Today’s episode is a big one! SpaceX did the Starship Wet Dress rehearsal, and we’re doing a DETAILED analysis! Elon Musk's Ship 24 is getting ready for the orbital launch, and Super Heavy Booster 7 is about to perform the largest rocket ignition in human history! On top of that, ULA’s Vulcan Centaur has arrived at the Cape and is getting ready for its maiden flight, Rocket Lab did its first Electron launch from US soil, and Neutron, Rocket Lab’s futuristic new super rocket, is making fast progress! Stay tuned, and let’s dive right in!”

Is the Starship orbital Launch Mount going to survive the 33 engine static fire? What do you think?

[Klaatu-ijuz]

It's claimed that the Starship is so powerful that when it launches it will NOT be leaving earth. Instead, the earth will be pushed DOWN and AWAY from the rocket. 🌎🚀

How has this guy not gotten to a million subs yet. Jeez, love the updates man. Keep them coming.

First Spacex landed the Falcon9, and we were amazed.
Then we got spoiled, and started thinking "meh, one more Falcon9 landing"
And Spacex started with Starship.
And we got amazed again, with that belly flop. I still have goose bumps thinking about it.
And now... now we have a full Starship launch to look forward too - but above all else, we have competition! Several startups, each one of them with a different, original and amazing rocket!

What a time to be alive. :D

Just a small correction rocket labs neutron is not fully reusable the second stage is still expendable enjoy the content anyway cheers

Thanks Felix, Steffi & Victor plus the entire WAI team 👍 Congratulations on today's milestones. 260, 000 Channel Subscribers, 60, 000 Twitter Followers & 250 WAI Episodes 🥳

Felix, thank you for your enthusiasm for SpaceX’s progress. They are the only true, unlimited carriers to orbit and beyond. I like your channel because you get right to the point, even to putting a positive spin on things that remain at worst a coin toss, at best a nominal, always forward-moving pre-launch procedure.

7.5 kN of peak thrust on the Neutron seem to be quite low haha, maybe 7500 kN?

[dlewis]

I live here in Virginia. I went to see an Antares launch in 2013 at Wallops Island. Great to see Rocket Lab making use of the facility.

Thank you to the WAI team for what you do.

The Haters on “thunderfoot” and The “Commen sense skeptic” patiently waiting and hoping for the super heavy to blow up during the incoming full 33 engine static fire. Can’t wait to see them so disappointed and salty and still find ways to say starship is a scam that will never work 😂😂

[wesroberts]

Its if Dr. Strange had a cousin on the other side of the pond. Excellent content, one of the very few I trust!

[jrdaparker]

Awesome! Really enjoyed the info about the Vulcan and Rocket lab rockets. I closely follow Starship development, but I didn’t know much about the other rockets. Must be a crazy time trying to decide what to include in each video

[rcketplumber]

Oh, BTW, for RocketLab Neutron, I think you mean 7.5-meganewton thrust, about 1.5x the weight of the vehicle at launch. 7.5 kN is less than the thrust we had on the X-Racer.

[rcketplumber]

I really really really don't want the Starship stack to go high order, I've seen the reports and video of the CH4/O2 mixing experiments at Dugway proving ground. They were... impressive, is all I can say. Here's to continued success and as little drama as possible at Starbase.

[tfmg]

Been here for 3 years, and when you said that they are doing a 33-raptor static fire I legit went crazy!!! Thank you Felix, for all these years of awesome StarBase videos and your hard work! Mars here we come!!!

[SteveInPalmSprings]

Good Morning Mr. Felix. What a great update. Your editing is crisp and professional. It's a real pleasure to watch your videos. The Internet Gods were on my side this morning and I got to view it in true 4K. It practically leapt off the screen. Sharpness was amazing. That was aided by your choice of fonts for titling. I am specifically referring to the font that first appeared at 0:56. The thin black border on these letters made them really stand out from the background which makes for excellent readability. Kudos and keep up the great work !!!

[PaddyPatrone]

You should include NASA`s new Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine in the next video. This is quite significant research with great potential.

[jimgrif]

You are now my go-to for SpaceX info. I like the no-BS formats.

[riparianlife]

The CH4 molecule, and even the O2 molecule, are massive compared to H2. So much easier to contain.
