The only road closure in Boca Chica is now scheduled for May 1st. Possible static fire date and of course subject to change.

Always appreciate your brevity. Your ability to get to the point is valuable to me. Thank you.

[ronfullerton]

Thank you, Kevin, for the quick, simple, and to the point update. Hard to keep up with Space X's pace these days, and this is great.

Great to the point video Kevin, and yes, I'd agree they'll have no trouble improving on the pressure in the future. I suspect the reason SN4 was only tested to 4.9 bar was because they're eager to get the data from the hop test ASAP. This data from this is probably needed for ongoing design, development and build of systems in SN5, 6 etc .

Sure SN4 probably could have survived a full pressure test, but just in case it hadn't, well, right now getting the hop flight data is a higher priority. There's nothing to stop further pressure testing being carried out after the hop test (and on any of the future SNs).

Thanks for the short and concise report, you are becoming one of my favorite channels! Cheers!

[Walkingflyguy]

I have to agree with one of the other viewers you are turning this into a must watch channel, love the reports and your insight. Keep them coming Kev!!!

Three minutes of everything we need to know. Thanks Man, you've earned a Sub!

[crowebar]

It was nice to see you and Lab Padre working together last weekend

Fourth launch successful, fourth test successful. Number four seems to be the lucky one for SpaceX.

Looking forward to see Starships fly :O

Great Video, Kevin!

Starship: survives pressure test
Me: wait that's illegal

[CountArtha]

I'm glad that each iteration of Starship has been able to improve on the one before it. I had unreasonably high expectations, so SN3 felt like a HUGE disappointment when its tanks ruptured.
I JUST WANT TO RIDE A STARSHIP INTO ORBIT BEFORE I'M TOO OLD, DARN IT

"Have a nerminal weekend" - It's Monday Bro.

@spaceXcentric You forgot to cover the Falcon that landed infront of the camera that night!

[neilufe]

Thank you so much for informing us. Your doing an incredible job.

[wietsepeursum]

I remember like SpaceX in the new episode 16 (or lower). You still make amazing content. Don't stop. it's amazing and I love it. Thank you

[damitcam]

Can we just take a second to appreciate the fact that they built the falcon heavy so well it has had no RUDs on the pad or in flight. Boeing would have lost like three on the test stand by now

[bazoo]

Heh, the timestamp on that frame around 1:10 will confuse future historians to no end... :o)

[stevenharris]

great update. as always. Keep up the kick ass work. It pays to be a winner

[Star-Man]

Great video as always! Can’t wait to see how -our lord and saviour- Elon Musk and the engineers over at SpaceX make Starship into the dream we hope it to be. And only a month until the manned Crew Dragon launch! That will be a day to remember. *Here’s to the future of SpaceX and Space eXploration
