    Two minor corrections:
    3:14 - Only the secondary payload was lost on that mission. The primary payload made it to the ISS successfully.
    6:20 - The Merlin engine is named after the a type of falcon (Falco columbarius), which itself derives from Old French and is unrelated to the name of the legendary wizard.

Starship is starting to look like it will deliver on most of what was promised. RAPID reusability of the ship may not be possible. They're not flying two hours after landing anytime soon. Even if refurbishment of the second stage takes a week or two, Starship will still change the world in ways we haven't even thought of yet.

    The Delta IV Heavy is (was?) pretty spectacular to watch, too - something about its color scheme - or lack of color? - when it shakes off. It must be the Falcon’s and Delta IV’s ‘shoulders’ that excites my eyes so much - they both look so gosh darn powerful with their booster rockets attached.
    It’s still so crazy to me, especially after watching Cold War documentaries of The Space Race, that SpaceX has made spaceflight seem so routine to us laypeople like myself. I’m not sure what’s more amazing - their launches or the fact SpaceX has accumulated so much talent to make it all happen.
    I guess NASA fulfilled their goal of helping turn space flight into a commercially viable technology. SpaceX really ran with the ball - the other ‘legacy’ companies accomplished so much as well, but SpaceX sure did execute on Musk’s vision. And of course, RocketLab has done its part to make commercial space flight possible…and others.
    Neat stuff, a great time to be alive and watch. These rocket folk should be very proud they’re making history.

      It’s a cool thought, something scifi/futuristic about it.
      But SpaceX bought two, thought about trying to make it work, then sold them off as scrap. Still…

    Hey, the North American P-51 Mustang and P-82 Twin Mustang all used the Rolls-Royce Merlin V-1650 engines as well. Albeit they were built under license for Rolls-Royce by Packard Motor Car Co, these engines barked just as hard as the ones built over the pond. The P-82 Twin Mustang was North Americans answer to Kelly Johnsons P-38 Lightning as a long range Escort Fighter for the Heavy Bombers.
    At 11:04 you've stated the 2nd launch of FH had a successful landing of the Center Core on a Drone Ship, I'm STILL looking for that video ? ? As far as I know, there have been no successful Center Core recoveries, prove me wrong, I'd Luv to see the vid. All that said, Thx for the Falcon Heavy summation, learnt a few things here.

      The R/R engine was also called "Merlin", and Elon is known to be an early aviation history buff, so he would certainly be aware of both meanings.

      ​@@taiwanjohnyou mean "aware if the meaning of both"?
      I find affixing the suffix "s" to words already conjugated with the suffix "ing" is pure mouth-breather mentak retardation due to misding sense of syntax.
      Would you also type "bikings" ie. "The bikings I go on are all offroad" of would you have done sense in realizing the "s" is your rendering a degenerate double conjugation?
      What next, rapings, killings, joustings, castings, blastings, fistings, stingings, ringings, drawings, workings, lashings, snatchings?... What other phonetically retarded misuse of the suffix "s" will you mouth-breathers make next?

    Before people start to go off to mars. Since people will risk their lives for 7 months or 45 days on the journey towards mars the shuttle should be tested for 7 months or 45 days near earth around the orbit and then land back down to earth to see what would go wrong if this was the real journey. I know there are more talented people then me yet I'm just saying because it just came to my mind like that that's why. I'm a space lover too, my passion is astrophotography and starts planets black holes, white holes pulsars nabulae clusters superclusters giants super giants laniakea and many more. I read a lot of things too about astronomy. I knew about jwst when I was very young but at that time jwst was on earth being builtI wanted to be an Astronomer but due to some issues I was unable to become what I wanted. Anyways it's a great video.

    Great video and summary of FH. I think Starship will be much more difficult and take far longer to become operational than expected. If FH was human rated it could carryout the Moon missions. In expendable form it can carry enough payload for us to regularise transfers to the Moon much cheaper than Artemis, using the Dynetics lander.

      Manipulations and deceptions for the ignorant and the naive. Electrogravitic propulsion is easier, simpler and much less expensive than this, but that will rather make it possible for anyone to do therefore enabling you see what they have hidden from you for thousands of years. Don't believe this. It's for your attention and you're making them succeed.

    the side boosters need to move upwards and connected just below the top of the structure, connected with 90 degree bends to the main structure - the tradition of using thrust to push is the problem - balancing a pencil needs not to be from below - apply thrust to pull. do you carry a briefcase by the base , balancing it on your hand, or by the handle?

    I think the idea that Starship will ever be cleared by NASA to launch astronauts from the surface of the Earth is never going to happen. Who wants the crew to launch INSIDE THE SECOND STAGE OF THE ROCKET with the fuel tanks, with no launch escape system? Been there. Didn't turn out too well every 1 in 200 chances.
    So a case could be made to keep Falcon Heavy in service and retire the SLS instead once Starship is fully operational and relatively reliable, and use FH to launch Orion capsules from Earth to rendezvous with Starship in Earth orbit.
