What's your thought about possible Starship V2.0 legs? Which design is your favourite?

[innerartdotnet]

When the nose cone gets stacked people are gonna lose their minds! Cannot wait for your episode after that happens

[Deeveeaar]

The speed of this project is so incredible!

[cliffordsmeeton]

Im sorry im not a patrion but i do belive and love the content u provide..best and up to date..u & your team ROCK ...awsome as always...thanx U u....

[janetizzy]

After my earlier guess at that six legged "water tower" ... I am not going to even try to make a guess on these legs.

[ColtsMan]

Man, incredible how fast new developments happen. Even with 2 episodes a week! Full duration test fire of the raptor vacuum engine being tweeted by SpaceX just before this episode was uploaded, so freaking cool. I would guess legs similar to Falcon would be the easiest path forward, but maybe not, im definitely not an engineer.

One of the best update yet! Continue the great work

[colinburfeind]

I've waited far too long (half a week?) For this episode! Anticipation kills. I'm sure it's awesome, time to watch now.

[coynerooski]

Can't wait to see them light that BOOSTAH!!! Love you guys! Thanks for everything, Felix

[GroupCaptain-LionelMandrake]

This is easily the best video series on SpaceX and the development of starship. Well done Felix, this is simply outstanding work and makes for a lot of enjoyment. Thank you.

[ironspider]

You are easily my top 5 favorite YouTubers of all time. I look forward to your new videos with extreme excitement. Thank you for helping me get my space fix.

The rate of growth in BC is exponential! I recall back when we waited around for days just to watch them make a couple of rings. Now they are cranking out rocket parts at an astounding rate. It is almost difficult to keep up with which prototype they are working on these days.

[smartin]

CLEARLY no expert here, but of the three leg options you presented, I liked NickHenning3Ds concept (the second one) the most.

[DaCosta]

Thanks for the update, it's awesome to see how fast they build huge constructions !

[davidlorryman]

I’m sitting in my ponies’ field shelter while the British weather makes a fist at a storm. I love that you, Mary, Felix, Tim, Kev and the NASA Space flight make Boca Chica seem just down the road. All the ‘thumb-downs’ miss the point. Mary must be knackered!!! Hope she realises how thankful we all are! xxxx

[aronbraswell]

Can't wait for super heavy's testing. The legs will be form, fit, function, and price. Has any one noticed star ship looking more like a chrome squid? I don't mean that in a bad way. Bet every one working on the project wears dark eye wear do to stainless glare on sunny days. I bet star ship and super heavy stacked will shine like a light house after the sun sets. that rocks

[Richard-fxgo]

One comment i've seen time and again from Engineers is that SN7.1 failure mode was not at the weld but a split across the weld. This makes sense as the weld would be stronger than the sheet steel itself. Some crazy pressures reached i imagine, which is great news for SpaceX.

[REAL-NANO]

How fortunate we are to live to see this.
We are leaving our cradle, not just dreaming of it!

[mikewarbin]

You do such a great job!! Look forward to every video, don't understand who would give you a thumbs down !!! Please keep up the great work!!

[jimstruempf]

An EXCELLENT recap of progress this past week!!! You rock!!!
