I really get Marcus' enthusiasm as one who watched our first, often unsuccessful launch attempts all the way through to SpaceX's fast pace of development and innovation. If I were 50 years younger I would try to find a way to be part of the SpaceX team, even if it were only to sweep the floors. Tim Desmond, MD
Australia has always had a role in NASA's flights, both because of its geographical position and also for having communications facilities such as the biggest Southern Hemisphere radio dish, the Parkes radio telescope (since 1961).
Thanks to Marcus for giving us all the great details of what's involved in getting these rockets into the air. I am 74 and I remember as a kid watching the first launches of men and satellites and was amazed at what I saw but we never saw all that went into the launches. Marcus really gives us all the details and it is mind blowing that they can place things in the right orbit without having them crash into each other. Some really smart people involved here.
Marcus , my incidental friend. You know me not. Yet I have followed your starship development for years. I admire your no hype reporting. The lack of any content you produce that reflects greed or self monetary beyond your immediate needs to support your channel. Sir I do live in a certain awe of people like yourself. Genuine. And honest. Your love of what you do...I've followed your reporting for years. Since you started bro. Honestly feel there should be an award for people like you. You know the other channels that you promote. Your one of the few unbiased yet biased in supporting space x presentation experts I truly enjoy. Love your work. Wish I could financially support what you do. Always like. Been subscribed for years. But I'm a poor man with little to give..except my admiration for you. An exceptional human
Those metal sheets that are interconnected form what's called a cofferdam. This is designed to keep water out of the building area. In many photos and video from before you can see bilge pumps pumping water out of the work area. This is a common practice in the southern part of the United States because most of that land sits at sea level. This type of engineering is specifically used when building bridges over rivers and streams all across the world. Because most of the southern states sit at sea level this is why people are buried above ground and houses don't have basements. The water table may only sit at 4 - 6 feet under the surface of the ground.
You see ...Marcus the main thing is you've become a valued staple in my family. Honesty integrity are lessons you teach. The way you present yourself your channel It relies not on catchy headlined. Just updated truth I enjoy each weekend.
It's a good law, I wish we had this law in USA, I can't control my kids anymore. Social media is just too strong and addictive. Just like cell phone usage
Hey hey, mate..! You and your production Team make our Space Nerds Saturday evening...!!!! Thanks for the SpaceX and others update .! Exciting times ahead... Cheers...!!!
😎Marcus, everything about space is getting so exciting! Your reporting is the Best! Thank You for all your hard work keeping us all so well informed. Can't wait for flight 7. 😎
I don't know where you get all this info, but I just don't hear any of this from other sites.... you should have way more subs....keep up the great work...😄😃😀🇦🇺
Got to love how his videos are always in beautiful 4k, Thank you Marcus House for your hard work each and every video that you do. It is appreciated. 👽
Oh wow I got a heart from Marcus House, I think that may have made my day. Truthfully, it kind of sucks so far so this is cool. Take what you can get folks that’s the little battles. One step at a time.
With Titan’s thick atmosphere and super low gravity, I’ve always suggested a lighter than air probe, or at least buoyantly neutral probe. You could employ a rigid “balloon” or “anti-ballast” tank to keep it just short of floating so it would take almost no energy to raise and move around, and no energy to lower.
Hmmm thats a good idea, wonder why they didnt go with that? Maybe because drones are a more proven platform? Maybe they issues with weather blowing it around?
@@otpyrcralphpierre1742 I can imagine there could be given that Cassini caught the evidence of lakes of cryogenic fluids with its Synthetic Aperture Radar mapping of Titan.
What happened to Fraser Marcus Scott IFT6?!?! It's not a complete test until the Fraser Marcus Scott post flight episode. I look forward to them and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I don't want to hear we're too busy. We're all busy. 😂 Like if you want Fraser Marcus Scott IFT6.
Hey hey its Marcus day. Yeah hopefully it gives em a chance to upgrade the antenna to something that looks like it wont get blown over from someone passing wind
There was an old interview with Tim Dodd and Elon Musk and Elon‘s talking about some unit of measurement like a Pascal maybe, and he’s like “ a Pascal… what’s that, like a mouse fart?“ Apparently a mouse fart is about all it takes to knock over their antenna.
I love the idea of Starships being built in Boca Chica, launched from there, and then landed in Cape Canaveral for reuse. No land transport is required.
There are some archaic obsolete inane regulations that prohibit that (overfly land). Hope now that the US is reining in the bureaucrats things will change and innovations like that can flourish.
My versions of StaerShip have a in atmosphere mode with open out wings. Like some kinds of missiles and glide bombs. Also. Strap on wings are a plot device for a story I will only dream about.
Thank you Marcus, I've been a long time fan of your Kerbal series and you helped me get ok at the game. I've also been following the space news series for a long time and you're an awesome source of Information. Keep up the good work, love frome America
Hey Hey Marcus. I didn't knew much about Rocket lab , so I went to go investigate. Glad I did. I wouldn't have known about them because of you. Keep it up!
That means 5 launches were commercial. Five commercial launches in one month is even more amazing. Most other launch providers struggle to launch two a year!
@@djw7141 Yes, your are right - the one Starship test flight was not commercial. I missed the "including Starship" phrase and just did the math. The rest of my comment still stands - four commercial flights in one month is more than most others do in a year.
My father came to the US in the mid 60s after accepting a job at one of our fine institutions of learning. He’s been rather nostalgic of New Zealand lately which is where he’s from and had no idea of the space program there as his area of expertise is at the bottom of oceans or somewhere between sea level and the bottom. The look of amazement followed by a joke only an 86 year old child could give watching your footage on mute was exactly how I hoped this trip to visit again for Thanksgiving would go. Sure beats the grainy footage we watched on a Betamax of a pixel that barely stood out from a sub he’d share after coming home from some location I’d never heard of so thanks for sharing that.
@@MarcusHousethank you for the in depth analysis every week! You break it down into understandable talking points for the average person interested in this sorta stuff!
8:15 It’s almost definitely gonna be used for boostback as well. It should have enough fuel as doing some rough calculations and counting flight 5’s boostback burn, the booster burns, and I am serious, around 420T from stage separation to landing. That tank looks to be able to hold maybe 450T which should be enough for boostback burn and landing for B2 boosters.
Another great update Marcus. Have you noticed that SpaceX is launching and recovering Falcon9's so often they don't have time to paint the decks of the recovery ships anymore. It must be nerve racking for the planners to possibly have a recovery ship down for maintenance.
Yea, they are very much limited buy those droneships. I'll bet they are just counting down the weeks to being able to shoot out Starlink V2's on Starship. At least that will free the droneships back up.
I admittedly do not understand British politics. But here in the US it has come to pass that displaying the flag is a symbol of conservative politics, and the complete rejection and detesting of the flag a symbol of progressives. Things that make you go "Hmmmm".
SpaceX probably want Florida pad ready quite quickly because from Starbase there are pretty limited orbital inclinations available. Once they start launching Starlink Florida pad is essential.
Have we ever had a fully turn around video done showing all the steps and processes it takes from landing to next flight of the boosters? Would make a great doc style video if it could be done.
It might need batteries. The question is the RTG enough power to fly? I always thought of it as a trickle charger, it sits, charges a battery that can discharge at a high enough rate to allow it to fly. On earth that would certainly be but on Titan? I can't say.
Probably something they’ll reconsider once they have all the other variables locked in (easier to build and perfect on land before pulling the rig/barge idea. Won’t be surprised if they go back to that idea as things progress
I’m with you on the nasa funding. Spend that money on rovers, cool missions like dragonfly, telescopes, probes, and other payloads. They just aren’t good at getting together a launch vehicle at a reasonable price, so I think they should contract out all launch vehicles entirely so they have more money to spend on the really cool stuff.
NASA isn't good at making anything at a reasonable price. Cheap and abundant launch will allow all these to become less mass restrained and much cheaper with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components. NASA should contract out all hardware.

Remember, while NASA has its faults, it is primarily saddled with a Congress that looks at NASA projects as (free, tax payer paid) get-reelected tools. The SLS disaster is a prime example.
Starship looks like a really cool, premium permanent, felt marker, with a blow torch on the end instead of a eraser because that’ll definitely be able to erase permanent ink
I would catch the vehicle beneath the forward control surfaces! Pick a diameter for the chopsticks that can be shared between the booster and the Starship and all its variants and proceed.
Sadly not legal. Overflying land with a rocket is pretty much not okay in any case unless already orbital in the US. E.g. the booster cannot overfly Florida, but starship could fly south of it on launch and then overfly the mainland US once orbital when coming around again.
I think when people look at all the things that space x achieve, just remember the crazy hours they are working. Those turn around times, new satellite designs. My hat of to all the people, past and present, who got space x to where they are now.
I wonder how Wernher Von Braun would have reacted to the current space flight industry. He too was a pioneer like Elon. Working independently while his government struggled with their own slow research. Would he be astonished to see the plasma shockwave video from reentry from space? He was right there at NASA to see his dream of a moon landing come true, so that’s pretty cool.
@@imaginary_friend7300 taking off from the north coast of australia and landing the booster on the northeast might make sense tbh, relatively low population density and convenient
@@aldunlop4622 aren't freaks like you the sort to tell immigrants to go back to where they came from lmao. or are you an actually ideologically consistent racist
@@PearbabyREAL What does a rocket have to do with immigrants? And I'm not a racist, Abo is an abbreviation of Aboriginal, same as Aussie is an abbreviation of Australian, so get off your fucking high horse.
It’s not surprising not as many people know about starship, I’ve been following progress for 4 years and I’ve noticed the only time I ever hear about anything Space X on the news is when we get a RUD, there wasn’t even a mention about the booster being caught! (I’m in the UK) it’s very sad.
The news has always hated space travel, even back in the Shuttle days. Mass media is run by stupid people who never qualified for a Science or Engineering degree.
Ah yes the space race, the one where we (spacex) tell everyone what we are doing, how to do it, and even encourage our adversaries by making it open source. This isn’t your grandparents space race
Don’t forget China. It’s still a race… tho SpaceX and thus US has a significant lead. Now just gotta keep the will to keep progressing. That was the problem in the 70s…the politicians and public stopped caring
15:26 "plenty of atmosphere to push against" - reminder that it's the pushing down of air around the blades, not that its pushing onto air below, which gives it lift. (If you could supply air to the blades to move and have no other air around it or below, it would still work, though at low levels air bouncing back from the ground can increase lift & make controlling it more complex with turbulence).
Watching SpaceX and their generational changes is fascinating. And watching watching bo trying desperately to develop a system ten generations behind SpaceX is sort of fascinating vaguely.
While design changes can be eye-catching, it is important to test prototypes and collect new data from test flights. This helps identify potential problems that can only be detected in a real-world environment. Therefore, it is important not to focus too much on superficial design changes and forget that the main goal of flight testing is to improve performance and safety.
It would be great if the Starship would land at some isolated area at Perth Airport. It would be no problem to install the same landing gear that were used on the Starship up and down flights and landings. Then Australian workers wouldn't have to gather up and load pieces. Maybe use a "truck train" to move it to a hanger where it could be examined. This also would be a great demo for the U.S Space Forces to observe what they are wanting to use the Starship for, to launch 100 tons to anyplace on this planet in one hour.
The delay in live streaming occurred again during the NROL launch. This isn't due to frequent launches; instead, the delays seem to be specific to launches that take place at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB). One of the delayed launches was for Starlink, and the other was for NROL. Therefore, the delays cannot be attributed to secret payloads. It raises the question: is there something on the launch pad that they don't want us to see?

That flag was for the farewell of the supervisor for the build of that ring section. He’s leaving Starbase
Woohoo from WA 🎉
Hope to be heading your way fairly soon. It has been a long time since I've been in Perth.
In the UK if you hang an English or British flag on something, everyone automatically assumes it's been done by a racists.
So let's try "The United Federation Of Planets" to see what highly interested and extremely intelligent observers have to say about that.

Dragon Fly will not use batteries it uses Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator or called MMRTG, as used in the Perserverance Rover.

Would he be astonished to see the plasma shockwave video from reentry from space?
He was right there at NASA to see his dream of a moon landing come true, so that’s pretty cool.
Australia should build an infrastructure zone necessary to catch Starship.
Why? I do not understand why spacex would want to land there unless they're taking off there as well.
@@imaginary_friend7300 taking off from the north coast of australia and landing the booster on the northeast might make sense tbh, relatively low population density and convenient
@@PearbabyREAL The Abos would be whining their heads off or charging a Toll. Most likely charging a Toll.
@@aldunlop4622 aren't freaks like you the sort to tell immigrants to go back to where they came from lmao. or are you an actually ideologically consistent racist
@@PearbabyREAL What does a rocket have to do with immigrants? And I'm not a racist, Abo is an abbreviation of Aboriginal, same as Aussie is an abbreviation of Australian, so get off your fucking high horse.
Hey hey!
It’s not surprising not as many people know about starship, I’ve been following progress for 4 years and I’ve noticed the only time I ever hear about anything Space X on the news is when we get a RUD, there wasn’t even a mention about the booster being caught! (I’m in the UK) it’s very sad.
The news has always hated space travel, even back in the Shuttle days. Mass media is run by stupid people who never qualified for a Science or Engineering degree.
Like ya vids old mate. Just trying getting some vitamin d. Sun👍🏼
Haha. Just coming into summer now. I feel like a hermit through winter. 🤣
there are launch pad parts next to the tent in Florida
Yes there are. I'll dive into that next week.
Ah yes the space race, the one where we (spacex) tell everyone what we are doing, how to do it, and even encourage our adversaries by making it open source.
This isn’t your grandparents space race
Don’t forget China. It’s still a race… tho SpaceX and thus US has a significant lead. Now just gotta keep the will to keep progressing. That was the problem in the 70s…the politicians and public stopped caring
15:26 "plenty of atmosphere to push against" - reminder that it's the pushing down of air around the blades, not that its pushing onto air below, which gives it lift. (If you could supply air to the blades to move and have no other air around it or below, it would still work, though at low levels air bouncing back from the ground can increase lift & make controlling it more complex with turbulence).
Watching SpaceX and their generational changes is fascinating. And watching watching bo trying desperately to develop a system ten generations behind SpaceX is sort of fascinating vaguely.
While design changes can be eye-catching, it is important to test prototypes and collect new data from test flights. This helps identify potential problems that can only be detected in a real-world environment. Therefore, it is important not to focus too much on superficial design changes and forget that the main goal of flight testing is to improve performance and safety.
It would be great if the Starship would land at some isolated area at Perth Airport. It would be no problem to install the same landing gear that were used on the Starship up and down flights and landings. Then Australian workers wouldn't have to gather up and load pieces. Maybe use a "truck train" to move it to a hanger where it could be examined. This also would be a great demo for the U.S Space Forces to observe what they are wanting to use the Starship for, to launch 100 tons to anyplace on this planet in one hour.
That's a lot of extra work for a flight regime that's coming to it's end.
Be better up north where they can handle that size
Starship all the way.
The delay in live streaming occurred again during the NROL launch. This isn't due to frequent launches; instead, the delays seem to be specific to launches that take place at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB). One of the delayed launches was for Starlink, and the other was for NROL. Therefore, the delays cannot be attributed to secret payloads. It raises the question: is there something on the launch pad that they don't want us to see?
All In All That Is Another Huge Feat!
