SpaceX Starship Hops, China launches 2 satellites, and the Starlink fleet grows in size!

It's the week of SpaceX! Right off the back of their success with Crew Dragon, we saw them valiantly launching a grain silo [Starship SN5] 150m into the skies, and another successful Starlink mission was completed. ESA, Russia, and Astra unfortunately could not launch this week.

This video is intended for audiences 13+ years old.

Dude I love these space this week! (Admittedly so much so that I countdown the whole week...)

[judemaniom]

I love this. You've essentially crossed my four favourite space channels (your own, the everyday astronaut, Marcus House, and Scott Manley) all with my native British accent. This (in my opinion) couldn't be a better chanell right now for all things space. Thank you!

Here in Kerbin we launch dozens of rockets every 5 hours.

This is the best series because you just tell us what happened this week, what’s happening soon, and what happened on this day in history. No extra bull crap to drag out the video, just what we need to know. Thank you Matt. You have done us a great service.
