BREAKING: New Launch Date! SpaceX is about to launch Starship Flight 7!

It's go time! SpaceX's Starship 33 gets its payload and rolls to the pad with a few surprising changes. Booster 14 finishes its prep work, what's left to do? Musk reveals new launch date, but could he be wrong? And there’s a surprising twist regarding the design of SpaceX's Block 2 boosters!

How are you going to watch flight 7? Couch and Popcorn or live and shaking?

For those people who don’t like the look of the new forward flap placement on the block 2 ships, I assume because of the asymmetry, they might have to brace themselves for the block 2 booster. Musk is on record as saying that the booster definitely doesn’t need 4 grid fins, 3 would be enough and it’s even possible they might be able to get away with only 2. (I think that info might be from one of the Tim Dodd videos.) If the block 2 booster ends up having 3 grid fins that will look a bit strange, at least to me, but the mass saving would be very nice to see and if they can get it down to only 2 then even better.

Fast Forward 11 minutes for launch time.

It never fails to amaze me mass producing a rocket the size of building and twice the thrust of a saturn V is insane !

The video title should be the question you answer within the first 2 minutes of the video. Don't bury the NEW information beneath 18 minutes of things we learned from your other videos.

[justkirt]

Excited for the Flight 7, it'll be interesting and hoping that everything goes as plan

[Not_theFAA]

Always love the show! Thanks for all the work you put in for these episodes. Have a great day!

Calling occupants of interplanetary some pumping out great content WAI.😊

I like What About It channel better than Great Space X and others.
👍🏻

YES YES YES! Let's light this candle!

A stainless Falcon 9 is an interesting concept. Although SpaceX has not ever mentioned any interest in building a smaller booster using the same design philosophy as Starship and they have explicitly stated that Falcon 9 will not see any further development, I would still be interested to see what something on the scale of Falcon 9 would look like with the stainless steel construction and Raptor 3 engines.

The Ikea Raptor shirt! I can't 😂😂😂

Regarding Booster production: While the goal for Starships may be one every few days Booster production will never reach that level for the simple fact that SpaceX will never need that many. Remember, their goal is rapid reusability of the Boosters so they won't need more than 3 or 4 for each launch/catch site. And 2 of those would be just for backup in case of unforeseen events. Maybe they'll keep extra inventory stored at the rocket garden to send out as needed but, still, they wouldn't need many of those, either.

All the bays should be merged into one ultra massive Omni bay.

[xsiverxbulletxno.]

if i had to guess, the giant downcomer is probably to reduce cavitation in the fuel line/turbopumps. if i remember correctly, the saturn V had a similar design for its first stage

[alextaylor]

*IMPORTANT*
can you please seperate the sections and categorise so we can skip to certain parts when in a rush.
Would help alot when in a rush and wanting only certain information

Insensitive explosives are totally safe without the detonator installed. You could fire a blow torch at them they'd not go off.

@19:00 I think they will add more modules just before the last tower module for later block 3 boosters. The towers look modular and can be easily extended as required.

The next ~week should be epic with New Glenn's first launch and Flight 7.

8:36. Offset flaps? Form follows function. Whatever works best looks best.
