Ok. " recover" is accurate. Thanks for your hard work.

Beautiful baby

"Recover" from this? I'm tired of the anti spacex bias.

*_"Crap Occurs. Doo-Doo Transpires."_*

It is part of the development process to test out new ideas with the knowledge that something might go wrong. They changed the internal plumbing on Block 2 so its not too surprising. Now if this was a Falcon 9, then it would be a big deal since that's a matured design.

IMO SpaceX knows exactly what happened at this point and it will delay the next launch by no more than a month. Because the new FAA will bend over backwards to get Starship flying again.... My guess for what happened is the starship was damaged at stage separation. Hot staging for this iteration of hardware is very much an afterthought. Clearly everything is to crammed together and the vent ports are way too small. I mean when you see the Booster peel away parts of the hot staging ring are literally glowing red. If the hot staging Ring is getting that hot so are the engines. Again just my guess, the first engine to go out had a RUD. That damaged other engines, started a fire and ruptured the methane lines. Which is why the last telemetry shows they are low on CH4. The fix is make changes to the hot staging ring or move on to a booster designed for hot staging. Either way I predict SpaceX's solution will very little delay.

🚀 💥 🤯

This will be a real test of BO… Do they need to redesign the booster? They currently have four under construction. Or a BE4 tweak? And what will the FAA do? It will be dicey. I have a funny feeling they won’t make their next launch window

We're going see so many changes to how space exploration regulatory licensing approvals are given out that it'll knock our socks off! 2025 will be the turning point, or "the straw that breaks the camels back" within the space industry and regulatory agency operations. If a license takes 90 days to issue, then it's at least 60 days too long overdue. Same for investigations. We have to believe the space companies are as diligent and safety-minded as NASA claims to be and therefore need to trust their assessments of their success and their failure. Funny thing about timetables; 1)They're rarely met. 2) They're fluid, that is to say readily adjusted and adapted as the need defines. And 3) There is no three! It's a shame the space industry as a whole has no "project manager" to plan and coordinate, what I see as two main projects to be managed simultaneously. First is long-term lunar manufacturing and occupation by mankind. Second is Mars terraforming and colonization of its insitu-resources. But there doesn't seem to be anyone(organization) to take up the mantle.

A slower company culture is a huge detriment. They might have to hire different people who are eager for quick ground operations and quicker development.

Was a rather large F, likely a few months setback

Unfortunately it made a mess for 25 launches in 2025. I was guessing 18 this year. Maybe now at best 12 launches

Now that Starship just exploded today, New Glenn is suddenly more competitive.

Laura, good evening. I want to thank you for a really Awesome run down on both BO and Starship. I have seen where most of the live casts leave you hanging. Expert analysis from you on this. Also I have the same Replogle Moon 🌖 globe with stand as am seeing behind you. I subscribed as well. Keep on going !!

With such a complicated development schedule I think Artemis 3 happening before 2035 would be a win.

2 months to 3 months is my guess

Way to go, “Mom”.

Looks like they have no chance to me absolutely #space_shuttle_columbia "SpaceX Orbiter Disaster" odd similarities 😊😊

BE-4 suddenly turns out to be an amazingly powerful and reliable engine. BO nails orbit on its very first orbital attempt. Imho SpaceX RULES but Blue is making huge strides with Dave Limp at the helm and Jeff B. setting alpine bushes on fire from his heavenly throne. :) Awesome.

And with Starship most likely being grounded for a while due to the anomaly with the second stage that just happened on Flight 7, there might be a few more customers that are moving over to New Glenn. Hoping Starship can recover as fast possible, though.

"Can it compete" is a complicated question i think. It can definitely compete in that it offers an alternative rocket to orbit. The "anyone but spaceX" companies can keep its launch manifest full in the short/mid term. Kuiper alone has contracted 12 flights and option for 15 more. Economically is my point of contention. Beff Jezos has poured many $billions into BO/NG. As a business, turning a profit is going to take ALOT of time and flights. However BO has not been ran like a business, but instead like Beff's personal, very expensive, hobby. And Jeff can keep that up for a very long time to come still, but as long as he is doing that, BO as a business is insolvent. I say all that, but im really not bashing. Its a beast of a rocket. It can be produced, launched, and perform. And more space is more better 😉👍 (And calling him Beff Jezos is just funny to me. I dont hold any angst against him beyond normal folks envy of obscenely rich people heh. Some guy on YT here in space channel chats runs that as his handle lol)

I don't agree New Glenn was that successful. It apparently blew up after relighting it's BE-4 engines. My issue with this is unlike Raptor the BE-4 is supposed to a be a flight ready engine. So if it blew up New Glenn and Vulcan should now be grounded pending an FAA investigation into why and what BO will do to fix it. Another BE-4 that was supposed to be a flight ready engine blew up on the test stand not long ago. Now another anomaly.

I can’t wait to see New Glenn stick the landing. Hopefully during the daytime!!

With an awesome name like "Ghost in the Sky," I hope it's a tremendous success! 💪🏾✨💪🏾... It kind of reminds me of Ghost in the Shell (anime) or Ghost in the Machine (book)... These futuristic stories revolve around the idea that science has redefined the "ghost" as the part of a person that makes them human and distinct from a robot. The "ghost" is a person's essence, or deep self, that remains intact even if their physical body is replaced with machines.

Love your necklace ❤😊 thanks for the informative update.

i think that mars and titan are our current midterm future options for colonizing outside of earth , however the moon and ceres are best for industrializing due to high amount of resources and low atmo making ship, station -building and launching very easy (relative to earth). we should not just ignore one option, but explore all options. Also setting up initial bases on the moon is best because it will give great practice for mars and titan while if something bad goes on, help is less than a week away instead of a 1/2 year to 4 years away

Hey, I happen to LIKE my own personal _ecosystem._ 😉🤭

Great video, Laura...👍 Regarding _Dream Chaser..._ *I ❤️ LIFTING BODIES*

just stumbled on this channel... so, so interesting! :-)

Thanks for covering this, I've often wondered how much effort and attention is necessary from Eastern Range personnel and infrastructure to support the incredible increase in SpaceX Falcon 9 launches in recent years. Like you said, the Falcon 9 launch cadence should eventually decrease once Starship starts picking up the Starlink launch load, but then Moon and Mars missions will surely increase with Starship.

love this angle, thanks.

Very interesting subject matter and good to hear modernisation is being thought about.

I'm going to be very excited to learn the results of the Blue Ghost plume analysis. SpaceX is designing a special thruster arrangement for the HLA Starship Lunar lander, because of an unverified assumption of how much regolith the Raptor engines would otherwise scatter during landings and launches on unprepared surfaces on the Moon. I wonder if SpaceX might change the design based on the results, perhaps even go back to just using the standard Raptors? Thank you for this excellent video!

Thanks, Laura for your clearly understandable talks.

We need these small landers because these landers become more capable and in the end they take over the lunar “base”.

It's not the size that matters, but how you land it

🚀 🌕

This is great, I'm excited for everything space including China's program 👍👍

Thank you for the wonderful breakdown on the mission. I had forgotten about going up last night! Watching your footage was great way end video!

Great to see Blue Ghost and Hakuto-R launch. There's a special excitement for any Moon landing and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for both these missions when the time comes.

Can't wait to see where this goes.

I have a question about these CLPS lunar landers: In Dr. Robert Zubrin's original "Moon Direct", he proposed a small-ish lunar lander that he called a Lunar Exploration Vehicle (LEV), propelled by a hydrolox engine capable of a 6.1 km/sec delta-vee. I'm not completely certain but it seemed like this LEV was actually two modules: the base with the landing legs, avionics, propulsion and presumably tankage would be the first module. This first module could also serve as a cargo module, if I understood what Zubrin was proposing. The first module could haul ten tons from low Earth orbit to the lunar surface, and presumably return to Earth orbit once the cargo was unloaded. I assume the ten-ton figure included the fuel in the first module's fuel tanks. The second module was essentially a pilot-house: a crew cabin to carry astronauts, their spacesuits and their essentials. If I understood Zubrin correctly, the pilot house would weigh about two tons, which would allow for a maximum of eight tons in the fuel tanks. Now here's my question: are any of these CLPS landers capable of what Zubrin seemed to propose? Or could they evolve into that kind of craft?

If spacecraft now on Mars have contaminated the planet with Earth microbes then since in that case we shall never know whether life that is definitely from Mars exists, then there is no point in a Mars sample return if the goal is to establish whether there is Martian life or not.

cant understand you, put the mic next to your mouth.

great video Laura but next time do the video maybe outside of the loud crowd

cant hear you over the crowd. please do some audio processing to isolate your speech.

Laura, epic content! keep em coming, please and thank you!!

When governments put there hand out to collect money it turns into a shitshow. Yes, paying for the usage if fine BUT once (and it always happens) the taxation money arrives it start being moved sideways on pet projects that have nothing to do with launching rockets. When I hear "SpaceX should pay because they can afford it" It's the same old story about how can we milk the cow to cover our wastage. SpaceX is spending a fortune in Florida, should they triple the cost of government launches to cover the cost of upcoming taxation too?

I like you Laura but its hard to hear you with all the background noise
