SpaceX is Building a Brand New Starship Launch Pad | Features of Rocket lab's Neutron rocket | NASA

SpaceX tests starship20 and booster 2.1 test tank simultaneously. The fourth static fire test of ship20 might happen this week. SpaceX has started building a launchpad for starship at launch complex 39a at NASA's Kennedy space centre in Florida. Rocket lab unveils details of the company's new reusable neutron launcher. NASA awards Blue Origin, NanoRacks, Northrop Grumman over $415m in contracts to avoid space station gap. NASA astronauts replace faulty space station antenna during a spacewalk.

I think you took Beck's demonstration of the material strength of carbon fiber over steel a bit too far. One of Elon's old conversation's with 'the everyday astronaut' (Tim Dodd) was about how small rockets benefit from the use of carbon fiber much more than big rockets. The ease of construction and thermal toughness of stainless steel is unmatched by any other material. The cost and complexity of carbon fiber also increase with size. This is why the two companies use different materials, both with valid and proven reasons. Rocket Lab is a small/medium class orbital launch company. SpaceX is a heavy/superheavy (starship will be a new and heaviest class ever seen) launch company. They both fit their niche beautifully with their flight-proven rockets and methods which fit what is needed and necessary.

Thanks we are proud of Rocket Lab and Peter Beck.. Thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿

Thanks Scientia Plus for the very informational updates, with wonderful video to go with, that most laymen (like me) can understand. I look forward to future videos and hope others like me with a passion for space exploration find your well made videos.

Would be intertesting to see how they plan to make the Neutron human rated. Cannot imagine a human capsule enclosed in a fairing and how you plan to make your escape rocket when your first have to open your fairing when your 1stage is failing.

Rocket Lab are like a SpaceX tribute band.

I still think they should build a tower mock-up for booster four so they could get data for the Chopsticks Landing. they could even build the mock up in the water since they're going to destroy the booster anyways. Might as well get the data.

Looking at the launch tower illustration and the tower at Starbase, I don’t see an access walkway for crew or support staff to the Starship crew cabin. I know the first few launches are sent up without human crew but eventually it will.

Neutron is a great leap, but cannot be compared to SpaceX rockets. Silly

I too have seen the James Bond Movie, You only live twice.

When the ISS is decommissioned, it would be the smart thing to do is to sell all the components, habs, labs, solar panels to the private companies that are going to build space-stations.. RECYCLE.. no more space junk, and sending them to burn up in the atmosphere. Remember, these components costs governments BILLIONS. can't image how much. So, I don't believe wasting money like that is prudent. I hope the next generation starts to run things more smartly.

Mucho ruido..prensa.. efectos...y sobreactuación.y pocos resultados.
Maniobras financieras y especulación....

While I greatly respect Elon Musk for his personal investment and pioneering work in the field of space exploration, I cannot help but agree that the refinements of the re-use concept by Rocket Lab is the next step past the approach of SpaceX. Especially the while landing thing. I find the urgent rush to send 1000 rockets to Mars now to be too hasty. Setting up a small outpost, yes but we need to develop quite a few more technologies before we settle large communities on other planets. Especially if they do not have breathable atmospheres. 1. We need to establish space mining and manufacture. I imagine that part of this would include to strap rocket engines to ore rich meteorites so the can be vectored and parked in stable orbits for continuous work to be done on their surfaces. The millions of tons of metals and/or 3D printing required to build the necessary space manufacturing infrastructure and then to manufacture space vehicles that take large numbers of people or equipment to other planets. 2. Such large interplanetary ships do not need to withstand the forces of taking off and landing on different planets but should park in orbit and send up and down smaller ships, designed for such purposes. 3. We need to overcome our power issues - probably with fission or micro nuclear power plants or some other technology, so that we can have safe and abundant, long lasting power wherever we go. 4. We need to overcome the long-term effects of living in weightless conditions. Our bodies are not designed for long-term or permanent weightlessness. Together with this goes physical excercise. 5. We need to find effective ways to grow food in space to provide space farers with balanced eating regimens. Conclusion: When we have a number of space colonies or industrial parks, parked at different distances but near earth, continuously producing enough materials to produce large interplanetary and smaller planetary craft to ferry people and goods to and from other planets, then we can try and settle on other nearby planets. And I have not even touched on terra-forming or unknown dangers on other planets.

Anxiously awaiting FAA requirements for a full Starship EIS in the face of SpaceX threats of bankruptcy. Musk is such a drama queen. SpaceX needs to stick to the Falcon program and quit wasting money on Starship, which has no sponsor. Falcon is a viable program (it MIGHT be profitable). Starship is a money pit.
