What puzzles me: Why doesn't SPACEX use the Falcon 9 to send a mini version moon landing project now and use the feedback data in the STARSHIP Project. This approach will be much cheaper and quicker to test the ARTEMAS 3 concept
Can use Falcon Heavy Falcon 9 does go to ISS fore and back as one hopes will soon be demonstrated imminently with Mission Success as for putting non human rated product on the Moon I think Falcon9 did this successfully for Japan. What I don't think can be done is a return Mission to the Moon *AND BACK* which is what Artemis has demonstrated as can do already. Starship to date has not been able to demonstrate a single working function for Space work yet😊
Why can the Falcon 9 booster re-enter the atmosphere without needing heat shield tile? Is it just moving so much slower at re-entry compared with vehicles coming down from an orbit?
It still amazes me the precision of these booster returns and landings.
Thank you for your oral flight updates today! Ray
Got to see it in the sky. Something about a rocket launch that just captures the imagination.
Soon SpaceX will be launching 400 rockets in a year.
Rock on SpaceX, SFN, NASA, Elon, USA, Freedom.
Always makes me feel like I am watching a 1950's science fiction movie.
Still Awesome! ! !
Jim Edgar….. so sorry about Rex!!!!
I just lost my Jag last month!!!
Yass love these launches 🚀
Most lauches to date! Still breaking records!
🚀Great SpaceX Coverage Robinson🚀

The falcon system does not possess the necessary delta v to reach the moon.

It reaches 400km/h faster than my mazda
What are those items flying off the booster at 33:00??
It is ice.
Ice that forms on the engines
ice

Not moving nearly as fast as something coming from orbit. Minimum speed for LEO is 28,000 KPH the falcon 9 only reaches about 9,000 KPH
What was that bouncing off grid fin at 4 min mark????
Ice.
FABULOUSLY PRECISE yet again 🏆!
Thank you !
33:00 wtf
Ice bits. Cryogenic engines always have them.
Sad I did not watch this time😢😢😢😢😢
ONLY MUSK.
LOOK at the surroundings.
NO unNECE$$ARY CRAP.
NO G🇺🇸VERNMENT INTERFERENCE.
Pushed out?
missed it. womp womp. oh well.
