@@kleinerprinz99 they dont have to launch everytime just to take single small debri, starship can pick up multiple debris at the same time since its payload bay is so massive, yeah right
I'm honestly not sure the numbers actually do add up, considering fuel and crew costs. RE: fuel, also do consider the amount of dead mass - if Rocket Lab manages to make the cost of Electron marginal through reuse, it sure would use up a lot less fuel (and presumably less crew/time as well), so it really should be cheaper no matter what.

@@z2kk Not necessarily, the translation to put it over the landing pad happened during the belly flop phase and it was already in the correct position falling vertically before the flip. It would only have horizontal velocity if it hadn't finished the translation when the flip happened and there is no reason for that to be the case. However there is no reason why the flip could not slightly over rotate to compensate for any residual horizontal velocity. I am sure we will see this in future tests as they start to push the limits of the landing manoeuvre.
TIM! When you're recording Starship landing, please dont forget to put a wide-angle camera up; dont just record closeups. I want to see the the belly flip on the perspective of a stationary person
@@EverydayAstronaut: They don't have to be heavy. :> But there should be lots of planes and drones in the air capturing every single second, including VR cameras.
Thinking out of the box: While having fleet of starships (and that's what Elon is really aiming for): Why burn the fuel to reverse heavy booster back to original starting point? Wouldn't it be better to have second facility at the other side of Earth and head there forward? Besides less fuel needed (you need only to stop, not to reverse and go back), you could have customers from the other side of Earth much closer. Just a thought.
@@439sparky1 No! You need a second launch point. That's what I meant. Even if you need a small trip, transport on the ground would require much less fuel than turning around midair and flying back.
It's still made for everyday people. Never had to read up anything from back in my physics studies to understand whats going on here. Well maybe someone who wasn't so lucky in his education would have to google some things or look up wikipedia, but people will get around. There are other youtubers who do shorter more in-depth videos but you have to bring along some scientific knowledge there.
I think the videos are long and detailed *because* they're made "for everyday people". He has to explain everything and give analogies that would make sense to people with no relevant education
@@limiv5272 These are not just short infostrips inflated by explanations for dummies. As i said i once studied physics with the objective to maybe become an aerospace engineer. Tim still delivers numbers and infos that make sense and are relevant to me while everyday people might pass this as information not relevant to them. It's like a good family movie where you have the slapstick for the kids but also the more subtle jokes for parents.
Thanks for motivating me every time Tim, I was just struggling with studying all day but this one hour has given me motivation for weeks. I can't wait to finish my studies and start working for whatever thing space related. Thank you Tim I love you, I love your videos and I love your eyes. Keep up the incredible work of inspiring the next generation
Aerospace is 100% metric since Nasa cratered the multimillion dollar Martian climate orbiter due to conversion mistakes. Edit. The Mars polar lander sorry.
@@teufelhund9843 it was for me. Depends on your states education guidelines. Half the world uses imperial in some form. UK requires all cars to have mph and kmh since they used mph until fairly recently (maybe 20 years) and many places have mph and kmh. Canada too. USA uses metric system for drinks but UK often uses imperial. It’s backwards
A whole hour and never lost interest...now that's a new milestone! The craziest thing is going to be the belly flop maneuver. I don't see how they can even simulate getting it right, much less nailing it on the first try. I expect we'll see some crazy "Wile E. Coyote" style explosions and folks will call it the "ACME ROCKET" for a while, but just like Falcon 9 we'll all be watching with mouths hanging open in disbelief while it does exactly that over and over again. Watching the Falcon 9 still feels like a little miracle each time it lands. I hope they nail it right out of the gate, but that is optimistic to the extreme. I'm just happy Space X is bringing us along for the ride and doesn't hide their light under a bushel like Blue Origin does.
Tim, this 1 hour video was impossible to turn off without watching in full. This is the video I needed to understand Starship, so thank you, thank you, thank you! This was so much information put in a way that was easily understood. This is the video I needed. Let's see this fly now.
When the conclusion came, I was like: Awww man its already almost over. It was such a great video with so much information. The wait truly paid off in my opinion!
Top notch video and well appreciated. As for speculations I have for future development, here you go: 1. SpaceX is already using solar electric propulsion for Starlink. As most of what you ship to the moon is fuel to push more fuel around and SpaceX has already proposed landing a massive Starship on the moon, which is going to take a lot more fuel than what can be loaded onto a single Starship in LEO, especially for reuse, I think they will use a solar electric space tug launched on on Starship to push tanker Starships out to the moon. The ISP on these solar electric drives already exceed 4,000s of ISP where Raptor vacuum gets up to 350s, so even with the extra mass of a space tug and the loss of using the Oberth Effect, it would be far more efficient and require far fewer launches than to LOX/LNG the whole way. Elon Musk has stated Starship should have very little fuel boil off on the way to Mars, so why would there be an issue spending say several weeks slowly pushing a tanker to the moon? I am thinking this could also be done for cargo only missions, except using a cargo Starship instead of a tanker Starship. The reason for pushing a tanker Starship to the moon would only be so a crewed mission could happen rapidly instead of at the slow pace of a solar powered ion drive in the Earth-Moon system. 2. Something cool about the cargo space tug idea when applied to Mars is while the space tugs will produce a lot less thrust around Mars, with cargo you mainly have to eventually get the job done. Also a space tug could separate from a cargo Starship before entering Mar's orbit and start its capture burn while the cargo Starship continues to the surface or swing by Mars and go back to Earth. Once the space tug gets into a highly elliptical capture orbit, it could circularize with its large delta-V potential and say get into a low Mars or low Earth orbit. The cargo Starships sent out to Mars could either be optimized with small fuel tanks designed to get an empty Starship into LEO and then once refueled and loaded with cargo, land the maximum amount of cargo on Mars in a one way mission or be a more generic cargo ship with some hardware for unloading on Mars and be able to fly back to an orbiting space tug to be brought back to Earth. Having a space tug with over 4,000s of ISP capability really expands the possibilities of what can be done for cargo missions, granted it just takes too long to speed up to be the primary mover on crewed missions. 3. I think the first generation of 'safe' crewed transport to Mars will involve building large scale nuclear thermal propulsed spaceships as that will get you up to ~1,000s of ISP, which really changes the dynamic of how a Mars mission could go while having enough thrust to do things quickly with either nuclear electric or solar electric drives to help speed along the 'coast' phase of the mission. Once we are gathering material from the moon, an important overlooked material is nuclear fuel. If you gather the nuclear fuel from the moon, you avoid a lot of fallout from trying to ship that nuclear fuel up from Earth with hopefully controlled explosions into space and the controversy attempting such a thing would cause. You really can't do a safe crewed mission to Mars without nuclear power shipped to the surface of Mars as one dust storm covering your solar panels and your crew dies, so it makes sense to extend this nuclear power into making the trip to Mars in the first place faster and safer as well as more comfortable. One reason why you need to go big with a crewed mission is surface area to protect from radiation is a square factor where volume covered by that shielding is a cubic factor. So as you go bigger, that shielding goes from being too heavy to eventually being a relatively trivial part of your space ship mass wise. There is a second thing where task optimized Starships are going to be a lot more effective at their job than jack of all trades Starships. So you do a jack of all trades Starship to Mars, maybe you stick 10 people on a one way mission to Mars and the Starship is loaded up with shielding and provisions and space to move around and equipment for once you get to Mars, etc. Also maybe some crews can handle the isolation and some crews go nuts and space each other on the way to Mars. However have a fleet of task optimized Starships riding on a mother ship to Mars allowing for tight coordination and your crewed lander Starship carries 100 or more people airliner fashion to the surface and then flies back up to refuel and carry another 100 or more people to the surface. A large ship means you can have thousands of people onboard and lots of space to move around, which is a lot easier to cope with than say 10 people trapped in a tin can for a long duration mission. Having a large ship also provides more room for trying out artificial gravity, though would think the artificial gravity experiments would be done in LEO first to determine what exactly would need to be done for this large ship going to Mars. Also such a large ship would always be in space and so would be optimized for a permanent space environment going between the Earth and Mars cruise liner style where Starship could then be left to focus on being a short haul airliner of sorts. If a good nuclear fission propulsion system could be achieved where maybe low to no fallout fuel is used around Earth while avoiding big flashes that could harm satellites in orbit (or even blind people looking up) and then you do whatever is cheapest a safe distance away from Earth, the efficiency gained in propulsion could allow very fast trips to anywhere in the solar system. So far with our fusion work we tend to go big to get the economies of scale to make it work and be more practical, so a large dedicated ship for this makes a lot of sense. Chemical rockets just cannot do such a job of going to and from Mars because the ISP is not there and so say a Mars mission is a one way mission with it being rather impractical to in-situ manufacture the large amount of fuel needed to send say a 9m wide Starship back. Nuclear thermal exponentially improves the equation to it at least being somewhat practical, though still somewhat expensive to go back and forth between Earth and Mars, but a lot cheaper, faster, safer, and more comfortable than doing chemical only. Ion drives makes it a lot cheaper to move cargo and fuel around and this is important because fuel tends to get a lot more expensive the further out from Earth you are, at least until you figure out a system of getting it from the solar system, which we are way far from doing in a practical manner right now, granted it should be doable one day with the right setup. Direct nuclear propulsion can really open up the solar system, though some thoughtfulness needs to go into the safest designs possible, especially when operating around Earth, which is really important because literally no humans live beyond LEO right now and at that the current count in LEO is 7. So if it is not safe to use that drive in LEO, another drive system will be needed to get to a safe distance away from Earth, but this leg of your journey is a huge part of your battle for basically every mission, so your drive system really needs to try to solve this problem if it can be done.
Liking this before I watch it because I know how much effort you put into these videos and that in itself deserves a like! Keep up the good work Tim, and thank you. 👍
Exactly what we needed in such political time, spaceflight to unite us all under one atmosphere by reminding us of the planet we share (but still fight over) and the possibilities we have when working together. Thank you Tim!
@@ImieNazwiskoOK Everyone want and has surveillance satelites, civilian satelites are already surveillance even when not designed to do so. And it has its advantages too. In itself it isn't too diffrent from ordinary aerial reconaissance but without all the air violation problems. Moreover, without these satelites, there is a ton of devastating phenomenons, hidden governement projects and blatant human right abuses that would have gone unoticed. I especially think of the CCP's muslim concentration camps, something that is so hidden within the country there is no way it would have been spotted otherwise. Plus, everything is a weapon in space. A civilian satelite is a kill vehicle by simply altering the orbit. This is why countries banned putting weapons in space, because it is a situation can do nothing but escalate. It is why when china decided to prove their anti-satelite capabilities by shooting a satelite on a stable orbit upset so many, because while unessesary, when the US did it, they at least did it on a satelite that was already on its way down, garanteeing that almost all the debris would be burned in short order. Meanwhile doing in on a stable, busy orbit created a lot of dangerous fragments that are going to remain there for decades. Not THAT much of a problem overall, but still an unessesary and poorly planned one, as often CCP projects are. Both tests were unessesary (and the US pushed it explicitly because it was going to be outlawed soon) but at least one was slightly planned. As for today, militaries understood the importance of having a comunication network independent from any foreign influence. That's why militaries are looking to establish parralel satelite networks that would be a lot harder to destroy. GPS is a big target, that the most unscrupulous of players would not hesitate to destroy, and there needs to be alternatives. Intel and information is what space is all about. Weapons? well everything and nothing is. China and Russia already have military satelites specifically designed for the purpose of taking out other satelites. These are more effective and more beligerant in their nature, but satelites of all kinds could be used as kill vehicle. When the entire orbit is a homing mine field, no one is going to be stupid enough to start the chain reaction. At least, most people would be...
@@mobiuscoreindustries Starting the orbital mine field would be like the cold war with nuclear weapons. Mutually assured destruction - Not only would everyone lose their satellites, they would lose the ability to send up new ones for decades to come until the orbits deteriorated over a few years for the lower altitudes, to as much as 500 or a thousand years for some of the higher orbits. But even as the lower orbits started to clear up, you would have to worry about debris clouds from higher orbits coming down and possibly hitting one.

We need to invent a whole new language to express the emotions found only in outer space. This rocket is so big, so exciting and so new our current emotional vocabulary are all understatements.
Great Guide, Tim. A few questions: 1) How does Starship prevent debris from damaging Starship during a Mars landing or liftoff? 2) How will Starship keep the cryogenic propellant from venting completely during a Mars mission? 3) How stable will Starship be on Martian soil with it's high center of gravity? Will it be like the movie Martian during a wind storm?
to 1) probably similar like on the moon to 2) just make more fuel, than vents, since you need to produce fuel on Mars anyways? for the rest sent more fuel or bring a cooler. to 3) the Martian atmosphere is very thin, so even a big storm isn't powerful, but a concern for sure.
It's really interesting to compare how many things in the plans for Starship and SuperHeavy have changed since this video. Grid fins no longer fold, no landing legs and they will hover, etc. And yes, this video is very definitely out of date now, lol. Edit for typo and adding the second line
There have been spaceships before Starship. I'm not downplaying the incredible achievement that Starship represents, but it's clearly not the first human spaceship class. It's not even the first _SpaceX_ spaceship class. That would be the Crew Dragon, or the Dragon 1 if you count cargo-only vehicles. Unless you can supply a clear and _unbiased_ definition of the term "spaceship", that supports your claim.

Impressively enough, the SN8 belly flop was a lot smoother than in the simulation!
it was both a successful flip, and a spectacular lithobrake
The flip worked a treat and if the pressure hadn't been lost on the methane header tank it would probably have been 100% success.
True, but the real test had almost no horizontal velocity. Future ones will though
@@z2kk Not necessarily, the translation to put it over the landing pad happened during the belly flop phase and it was already in the correct position falling vertically before the flip. It would only have horizontal velocity if it hadn't finished the translation when the flip happened and there is no reason for that to be the case. However there is no reason why the flip could not slightly over rotate to compensate for any residual horizontal velocity. I am sure we will see this in future tests as they start to push the limits of the landing manoeuvre.
If the engines hadn't gone all self consuming I think it would have worked. Still better than what Musk thought we'd be see.

Thinking out of the box: While having fleet of starships (and that's what Elon is really aiming for): Why burn the fuel to reverse heavy booster back to original starting point? Wouldn't it be better to have second facility at the other side of Earth and head there forward? Besides less fuel needed (you need only to stop, not to reverse and go back), you could have customers from the other side of Earth much closer. Just a thought.
@@adammarkiewicz3375 Sure but you need to somehow transport that booster back to the original site for a second launch
@@439sparky1 No! You need a second launch point. That's what I meant. Even if you need a small trip, transport on the ground would require much less fuel than turning around midair and flying back.

Thx for speaking “metric.” This is meaningful. Good for international fans, & US folks need to make the change.
Aerospace is 100% metric since Nasa cratered the multimillion dollar Martian climate orbiter due to conversion mistakes.
Edit. The Mars polar lander sorry.
Lots of fields in the US use metric, sadly it really isn't taught in early education.
@@teufelhund9843 it was for me. Depends on your states education guidelines. Half the world uses imperial in some form.

This video being exactly 1 hour is incredibly satisfying!
A whole hour and never lost interest...now that's a new milestone! The craziest thing is going to be the belly flop maneuver. I don't see how they can even simulate getting it right, much less nailing it on the first try. I expect we'll see some crazy "Wile E. Coyote" style explosions and folks will call it the "ACME ROCKET" for a while, but just like Falcon 9 we'll all be watching with mouths hanging open in disbelief while it does exactly that over and over again. Watching the Falcon 9 still feels like a little miracle each time it lands. I hope they nail it right out of the gate, but that is optimistic to the extreme. I'm just happy Space X is bringing us along for the ride and doesn't hide their light under a bushel like Blue Origin does.

When the conclusion came, I was like: Awww man its already almost over. It was such a great video with so much information. The wait truly paid off in my opinion!
As usual Tim knocks it out of the park. These rocket deep dives need to win some kind of awards. This is top level stuff.
Top notch video and well appreciated. As for speculations I have for future development, here you go:
1. SpaceX is already using solar electric propulsion for Starlink. As most of what you ship to the moon is fuel to push more fuel around and SpaceX has already proposed landing a massive Starship on the moon, which is going to take a lot more fuel than what can be loaded onto a single Starship in LEO, especially for reuse, I think they will use a solar electric space tug launched on on Starship to push tanker Starships out to the moon. The ISP on these solar electric drives already exceed 4,000s of ISP where Raptor vacuum gets up to 350s, so even with the extra mass of a space tug and the loss of using the Oberth Effect, it would be far more efficient and require far fewer launches than to LOX/LNG the whole way. Elon Musk has stated Starship should have very little fuel boil off on the way to Mars, so why would there be an issue spending say several weeks slowly pushing a tanker to the moon? I am thinking this could also be done for cargo only missions, except using a cargo Starship instead of a tanker Starship. The reason for pushing a tanker Starship to the moon would only be so a crewed mission could happen rapidly instead of at the slow pace of a solar powered ion drive in the Earth-Moon system.
2. Something cool about the cargo space tug idea when applied to Mars is while the space tugs will produce a lot less thrust around Mars, with cargo you mainly have to eventually get the job done. Also a space tug could separate from a cargo Starship before entering Mar's orbit and start its capture burn while the cargo Starship continues to the surface or swing by Mars and go back to Earth. Once the space tug gets into a highly elliptical capture orbit, it could circularize with its large delta-V potential and say get into a low Mars or low Earth orbit. The cargo Starships sent out to Mars could either be optimized with small fuel tanks designed to get an empty Starship into LEO and then once refueled and loaded with cargo, land the maximum amount of cargo on Mars in a one way mission or be a more generic cargo ship with some hardware for unloading on Mars and be able to fly back to an orbiting space tug to be brought back to Earth. Having a space tug with over 4,000s of ISP capability really expands the possibilities of what can be done for cargo missions, granted it just takes too long to speed up to be the primary mover on crewed missions.
3. I think the first generation of 'safe' crewed transport to Mars will involve building large scale nuclear thermal propulsed spaceships as that will get you up to ~1,000s of ISP, which really changes the dynamic of how a Mars mission could go while having enough thrust to do things quickly with either nuclear electric or solar electric drives to help speed along the 'coast' phase of the mission. Once we are gathering material from the moon, an important overlooked material is nuclear fuel. If you gather the nuclear fuel from the moon, you avoid a lot of fallout from trying to ship that nuclear fuel up from Earth with hopefully controlled explosions into space and the controversy attempting such a thing would cause. You really can't do a safe crewed mission to Mars without nuclear power shipped to the surface of Mars as one dust storm covering your solar panels and your crew dies, so it makes sense to extend this nuclear power into making the trip to Mars in the first place faster and safer as well as more comfortable. One reason why you need to go big with a crewed mission is surface area to protect from radiation is a square factor where volume covered by that shielding is a cubic factor. So as you go bigger, that shielding goes from being too heavy to eventually being a relatively trivial part of your space ship mass wise. There is a second thing where task optimized Starships are going to be a lot more effective at their job than jack of all trades Starships. So you do a jack of all trades Starship to Mars, maybe you stick 10 people on a one way mission to Mars and the Starship is loaded up with shielding and provisions and space to move around and equipment for once you get to Mars, etc. Also maybe some crews can handle the isolation and some crews go nuts and space each other on the way to Mars. However have a fleet of task optimized Starships riding on a mother ship to Mars allowing for tight coordination and your crewed lander Starship carries 100 or more people airliner fashion to the surface and then flies back up to refuel and carry another 100 or more people to the surface. A large ship means you can have thousands of people onboard and lots of space to move around, which is a lot easier to cope with than say 10 people trapped in a tin can for a long duration mission. Having a large ship also provides more room for trying out artificial gravity, though would think the artificial gravity experiments would be done in LEO first to determine what exactly would need to be done for this large ship going to Mars. Also such a large ship would always be in space and so would be optimized for a permanent space environment going between the Earth and Mars cruise liner style where Starship could then be left to focus on being a short haul airliner of sorts. If a good nuclear fission propulsion system could be achieved where maybe low to no fallout fuel is used around Earth while avoiding big flashes that could harm satellites in orbit (or even blind people looking up) and then you do whatever is cheapest a safe distance away from Earth, the efficiency gained in propulsion could allow very fast trips to anywhere in the solar system. So far with our fusion work we tend to go big to get the economies of scale to make it work and be more practical, so a large dedicated ship for this makes a lot of sense.
Chemical rockets just cannot do such a job of going to and from Mars because the ISP is not there and so say a Mars mission is a one way mission with it being rather impractical to in-situ manufacture the large amount of fuel needed to send say a 9m wide Starship back. Nuclear thermal exponentially improves the equation to it at least being somewhat practical, though still somewhat expensive to go back and forth between Earth and Mars, but a lot cheaper, faster, safer, and more comfortable than doing chemical only. Ion drives makes it a lot cheaper to move cargo and fuel around and this is important because fuel tends to get a lot more expensive the further out from Earth you are, at least until you figure out a system of getting it from the solar system, which we are way far from doing in a practical manner right now, granted it should be doable one day with the right setup. Direct nuclear propulsion can really open up the solar system, though some thoughtfulness needs to go into the safest designs possible, especially when operating around Earth, which is really important because literally no humans live beyond LEO right now and at that the current count in LEO is 7. So if it is not safe to use that drive in LEO, another drive system will be needed to get to a safe distance away from Earth, but this leg of your journey is a huge part of your battle for basically every mission, so your drive system really needs to try to solve this problem if it can be done.

At the same time USA wants militarry satelites to literaly keep dominancie in space 😞
Hello youtube algorithm👋 Hello Tim👋
@@ImieNazwiskoOK Everyone want and has surveillance satelites, civilian satelites are already surveillance even when not designed to do so. And it has its advantages too. In itself it isn't too diffrent from ordinary aerial reconaissance but without all the air violation problems. Moreover, without these satelites, there is a ton of devastating phenomenons, hidden governement projects and blatant human right abuses that would have gone unoticed. I especially think of the CCP's muslim concentration camps, something that is so hidden within the country there is no way it would have been spotted otherwise.
Plus, everything is a weapon in space. A civilian satelite is a kill vehicle by simply altering the orbit. This is why countries banned putting weapons in space, because it is a situation can do nothing but escalate. It is why when china decided to prove their anti-satelite capabilities by shooting a satelite on a stable orbit upset so many, because while unessesary, when the US did it, they at least did it on a satelite that was already on its way down, garanteeing that almost all the debris would be burned in short order. Meanwhile doing in on a stable, busy orbit created a lot of dangerous fragments that are going to remain there for decades. Not THAT much of a problem overall, but still an unessesary and poorly planned one, as often CCP projects are. Both tests were unessesary (and the US pushed it explicitly because it was going to be outlawed soon) but at least one was slightly planned.
As for today, militaries understood the importance of having a comunication network independent from any foreign influence. That's why militaries are looking to establish parralel satelite networks that would be a lot harder to destroy. GPS is a big target, that the most unscrupulous of players would not hesitate to destroy, and there needs to be alternatives. Intel and information is what space is all about. Weapons? well everything and nothing is. China and Russia already have military satelites specifically designed for the purpose of taking out other satelites. These are more effective and more beligerant in their nature, but satelites of all kinds could be used as kill vehicle. When the entire orbit is a homing mine field, no one is going to be stupid enough to start the chain reaction. At least, most people would be...
@@mobiuscoreindustries
Starting the orbital mine field would be like the cold war with nuclear weapons.
Mutually assured destruction - Not only would everyone lose their satellites, they would lose the ability to send up new ones for decades to come until the orbits deteriorated over a few years for the lower altitudes, to as much as 500 or a thousand years for some of the higher orbits.
But even as the lower orbits started to clear up, you would have to worry about debris clouds from higher orbits coming down and possibly hitting one.

We need to invent a whole new language to express the emotions found only in outer space. This rocket is so big, so exciting and so new our current emotional vocabulary are all understatements.
Great Guide, Tim. A few questions:
1) How does Starship prevent debris from damaging Starship during a Mars landing or liftoff?
2) How will Starship keep the cryogenic propellant from venting completely during a Mars mission?
3) How stable will Starship be on Martian soil with it's high center of gravity? Will it be like the movie Martian during a wind storm?
to 1) probably similar like on the moon
to 2) just make more fuel, than vents, since you need to produce fuel on Mars anyways?
for the rest sent more fuel or bring a cooler.
to 3) the Martian atmosphere is very thin, so even a big storm isn't powerful, but a concern for sure.
I assume they'll do an unmanned mission first? Kind of sucks because it will be such a long wait, but a wait that's well worth it
