Amazing Cadence! The Never Ending Progress at Starbase Is Crazy! - SpaceX Weekly #133

As crews continue work on SpaceX's block 2 Starships, testing also continues for a possible booster catch, Ship 31 is fired up at the Massey Outpost for a static fire test, and Starhopper gets a makeover. Meanwhile, over at Cape Canaveral, while SpaceX continues crew and cargo launch and recovery operations, Space Perspective's MS Voyager returns to port with their Neptune capsule after completing it's first high altitude flight.

These towers need a cable running from the top back of the tower to the ground, something to pull it backwards, that wobble is scary.

Thanks Lab Padre for another awesome SpaceX Weekly! Also thank everyone who make this posable every week!!!! Thank you!!

Holy hotdogs @LabPadre Space! Thursday was a busy day! Thanks, as always, but extra for saving me hours on end searching for stuff I missed while en vacance! Love ya! xx

[DanielRichards]

Man those Ship 33 Aft Flaps and Ship 34 Nose cone are looking CLEAN AF

[hoodlum]

Literally the best coverage! Keep it up guys!

[jh]

I'm so glad version 2 fore flaps look cool, man.

[GabroPlayz]

You and NSF are both amazing with providing these updates! I thank you both.

Can't wait for the first booster catch attempt!

[RushRacing]

I am pumped for flight 5! Going to be an epic achievement if they catch the booster. Can't wait..

[georgegoodwin]

Thanks for all the details! I learn correct names for things almost every week.

[LibertyEver]

As always thanks for the SpaceX update. It's the best part of my week, and that was particularly true this week, which has been awful for me. IFT-5 is getting close. I wish there was some way to get a more advanced warning. I'm trying to plan a motorcycle camping trip and it'll take me 3-4 days to get to Boca Chica.

5:28 wow, the tower really jiggles when the chopstick arms close that high up

[charleslord]

Thanks as always, LAB! So much has transpired since the early days of hops.

The FAA is gonna need a closer look at those new doors

[John-ikos]

Breaking News…FAA to consider launch licence January 2027 once SpaceX have accounted for all the sand grains blown away during Flight 4.

[therealjamespickering]

Can you imagine how interesting a Blue Origin weekly update would be?
"And this week at Blue Origin, LabPadre out! "

[DW_Kiwi]

Sort out the FAA first. No one is going anywhere till this happens!

[damienspectre]

Most important update: FAA delays Starship to November.

[terrestrialcreature]

Totally watched the video before commenting…

[matthewkaiser]

Hey, quick question on probes, like Cassini and Europa Clipper. Why isnt there an spacecraft family that is used for missions to the planets?nwhy wasnt the same spacecraft used in Cassini used for Europa Clipper to save costs and optimize the spaceframe and propulsion?

[pforce]

Just watched Tim Dodd's video on Blue Origin rocket factory. That New Glen sure is a pretty bird but if he loses it on launch or anything goes wrong, we will all feel bad and he will start crying. SpaceX has thre or four of these bullet shaped tubes sitting around all the time and he is building engines at the rate of one a day so if one of his starships blows up. We all laugh and Elon laughes and he just drags another out of the rocket garden and fiddles around with it until the FAA catches up on what is going on. But the best part is we get to know almost as much as Elon about the Starship.Jeff is okay but Elon is a lot more fun.
