Starship Version 1 VS Starship Version 2

SpaceX’s latest Starship vehicle, which has been often referred to as Starship V2, is a MASSIVE upgrade over what has flown to date. Here's a quick overview of what's new and what's different!

If you're wondering why this has been reuploaded, the team removed a bunch of Tim talking about how he wasn't going to be able to make this launch due to a potential conflict with a launch collab with Mark Rober. My guess is that there's either no longer a conflict and he does expect to make it OR it was confusing and people thought that his team wasn't going to livestream this launch (or both).

I started watching you when you were that plucky photographer in an astronaut suite. Now your AstroAwards is a legit event. You've come a long way in so many areas. Great job Tim!! You ROCK!

Good to see a Tim video again, haven’t seen one for ages for one reason or another but what you see is what you get with him no clickbait, no bull no hype, the way it should be. 👏

I love the breakdown of how there are literally dozens of small tests being conducted at once, with minimal risk to the mission, instead of just attempting to improve one or two things at a time. The various tile removals and new material/cooling tests particularly are interesting since they can combine that data and use the best of both worlds for future missions. Awesome stuff!

Rewatching the older videos now, it's funny seeing how Tim's video esthetics went through an accelerated version of the esthetics of the space industry as a whole

Im hoping one of the "dummy" starlink satellites are going to be outfitted with cameras so we can see the starship from the outside. And possibly get some reentry footage from its perspective.

Thanks, Tim! You have been my goto for everything Starship for years now. You and your teams work has been so informative. You are much appreciated 👏

Glad it got pushed to the 15th so you could livestream it in person!

love the new intro :) it's good to see some content from you Tim. I can only imagine how busy you're with everything that's going on on the space stage.

It truly is a MASSIVE upgrade, the changes from the block 1 begin to TAPER away, especially when looking at the LOWer flaps, it truly is a sight to see as we FADE away from block 1 to block 2

been watching these videos since 2019; great vid

also the new intro is so cool

Greetings from Dnipro, Ukraine, Everyday Astronaut. Awaiting Starship Flight 7 and the New Glenn launch.

Missed opportunity for them to nickname the Pi-Raptor the Pyroraptor! (A dinosaur genus) 😅
Looking forward to flight 7!
Love the informative videos as usual Tim!! 😊

Edit: Grammar

[iMshadab]

that intro music still gives goosebumps ❤

For some reason haven't been seeing your videos sent to me through the algorithm. Good to hear from you. Thanks for this being a "short form video" with only Starship updates. Some of the other channels have videos that are so long that I am reluctant to spend the time. I guess it all has to do with monetization.

Wouldn't miss the launch for anything! Loving my heatsheild mug, I can tell by the colour when it's ready to drink!

Pushing the envelope of the structure is something that's great that SpaceX can do. When you build rockets traditionally it's all on paper and in simulations and so it's limits are 100% theoretical and they rarely get any practical tests on those limitations. Knowing where the ACTUAL line is helps improve simulation models and gives a confidence on how far things can actually be pushed in and outside of the safety margins.

I have that heatshield tiles mug since its release and its the best coffee mug ever! ❤‍🔥

Succinct, information rich, and to the point. Thanks Tim! You are a pleasure to listen to!
