SpaceX Starship Flight Test 5 Imminent! Let's Do This!

Well my friends, it all comes down to this. SpaceX Starship Flight Test 5 Imminent! Let's Do This! It is at the time of publish preparing to fly tomorrow. For a few years we’ve dreamt of this gigantic tower catching this colossal booster out of the air. What are the incredible changes for this mission compared to the previous flight, and what can we expect for this historic event? Along with that, we have got a bunch of exciting stuff to dive into. On Monday SpaceX launched the Hera mission for ESA, and check out this stunning view of Westerlund 1 from the James Webb Space Telescope.

This for me is the Apollo program of our generation and I personally love watching the development of Starship and Super Heavy. But could you imagine where we would be today if we had the same live coverage of the development of Apollo? I am of the belief that Youtube channels such as yours Marcus are inspiring the next generation of engineers that will bring us further into space than humanity has ever been.

Aw man, I've been watching SpaceX land big tubes with my parents and little siblings since Falcon's first ever landing. This is going to be phenomenal.

I remember how I felt in July 69 when Neil and Buzz climbed down that ladder and left their footprints on the moon. Marcus is giving me that feeling again, but this time with a lot of gray hair! Tremendous work!!!

Hey hey..! It's my favourite time of Saturday...! Marcus and Team's summary of Space News...! Love it...!

[Barthhhelona]

Funny story...i don't know why it started, but my 8 yo son and I play this silly game where I (doing my best Australian accent) pretend to be Marcus House and accusingly ask if we have watched the latest episode yet. We then pretend to be all nervous and say "of course we have!". Then "Marcus" asks for proof as we we make up generic topics that were probably covered in the video to pretend we watched it. "Marcus" then gets progressively angrier saying "hey hey heyyy" and demands we watch his video. We go back and forth like this a few times. It's ridiculous, i know, but my son laughs hysterically every time so it's worth it. Of course we end by ACTUALLY watching your video together.

They're going to nail it! And we are all going to be in awe with our jaws dragging on the floor

[wonderboy]

Holy hell. It’s happening. I can’t believe it’s happening tomorrow! I hope that it succeeds.

I can hardly wait for the catch attempt. I guess Spacex must be very confident about the positioning capability to even think of doing it. I showed my dad videos of Starhopper and the first hop of SN5 with its mass simulator. He was most intrigued and said “what on earth are those”😂. He was amazed at the Falcon Nine reusability and accurate landings. This was two weeks before he died in September 2022, 11 days from his 105th birthday. It’s a shame this catch attempt hadn’t been 2.5 years earlier as he would’ve seen that to. He was born in 1917 and saw development of just about everything in the modern world. He thought the Apollo program was tremendous and maintained interest in all space and astronomy stuff till the end. I wish he could’ve seen a successful booster catch. We are so lucky to be able to witness these technological advances. I’m looking forward to Marcus’s reaction to the catch attempt. Here’s hoping for the best 👍

A suggestion from outside the US: when mentioning times, please show a little label of that time in UTC. Most people can quickly covert from UTC to their local time, but from US zones not so much.

My bet is that if SpaceX doesn't land it, they'll get closer than ever before, and whatever happens, it will be epic!

[rpfour]

3:48 FYI, SpaceX got the approval a couple hours ago.

[Denyernator]

Holy shit. I want expecting the parking garage to be my favourite part of this week's video. That is going to look stunning

[Huxley]

I'd like to say thank you to the FAA for expediting the approval of the launch, we are quick to criticise when they're holding things up, but rarely give them praise for going ahead in a timely fashion.

Really can't wait for tomorrow, bring it

[TomiLoveless]

So exciting I can hardly wait! MARCUS!!!!

[JohnSmith-ypnt]

Excitement guaranteed! Let's do this! I've been sooo ready for a long while now.

[graemep.]

5:09 another reason I enjoy your vids Maaarcus is the descriptive writing u guys put into your scripts. "...clouds looked wild as they whipped along ..." ⛅ ❤ thank u for the update Happy Launch Day

[Jamie-dg]

im really liking the james webb photos at the end if the videos recently

[patrashdigger]

Exciting!! Crazy that they didn't fire a booster up a few miles and try a catch first

[pauljcampbell]

Marcus, mate! I've been waiting for this one. FT 5 is nearly here. Wow Hoo! Thanks for all the latest info mate. Cheers!

I watch Starbase Live, Starship related tweets everyday and I still watch your roundup of the weeks every Saturday. The way you summarize it is really good👍
