Was just gifted a membership thank you to whoever you are
Thanks Elysia & Alex for another awesome TWIS! Thank you & NSF!
Update:
The Federal Aviation Administration approved a license on Saturday for the launch of SpaceX's Starship 5 set for as early as Sunday.
Hungry black hole nom nom nom. And of course great earring choice as always. I love the little things like that sprinkled throughout these vids.
The idea of a quad or even quint booster landing would be something to see, even if I somewhat doubt that will survive the engineering phase. Imagine the sonic booms...
The PLD plans are aggressive, but it's a lot easier to implement a general shape and mission profile that is known to work than it is to come up with a whole new deal.
Alicia....love this update....can I just say I LOVE your earings....I always look forward to seeing what you'll be wearing ...☺️
@NASASpaceflight thank you Alicia , Alex and Team NSF...Brilliant as always 😊🚀
Best weekly space news
I am from Spain and they made a podcast with one of the best podcast channel of RUclips, great
Love you as always, thanks for the great update 🌒🚀❤️🌍🔥👑
As much as I want to watch ITF5 think I’ll catch the replay !
Thank you, awesome as always!
Easily the best weekly space news digest! Comprehensive, good depth and detail, professional presentation - thanks Team NSF!
Excellent earrings too!
Thanks Elysia, Alex and NSF team. Lots of rocketry goodness coming !soom.
Awesome that in 2 day, SpaceX could be launching 4 rockets, of 3 different designs, with one the biggest ever, and another one also on the very big side.
Elysia, I love your presentations, and you are the queen of earrings!😊
While Ms. Segal is a wonderful presenter, a graphic with the launch / landing schedule in the background would be appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Um, might be the last startup invitation for Alex... 😂😂
Nice work as always…please keep this up! Go Starship! 🚀
I prefer the Lassie, she makes the space newscast more professional looking.
The concept of landing multiple boosters simultaneously, whether it's three, four, or even five, is truly exciting, though I have my reservations about how feasible it is from an engineering standpoint. Just think about the thunderous sonic booms echoing as they re-enter the atmosphere...
Alex, I agree; at least SOME European company has some decent funding, big- maybe over-big, for the moment- plans, and is pressing forward. At the very least, they won’t meet their schedule- in that, they’ll match Elon/SpaceX!- but……so long as they now LASER FOCUS on their first, small launch vehicle - AND GET SOME PAYING PAYLOADS- they’ll have a chance. But if they spread themselves too thin….which, if you take some of their words literally, they have a danger of doing…………….they won’t get their. Let’s hope they have a CEO/COO that will FOCUS now. - Dave Huntsman
Holy acronym Batman!
If NASA ever sends up any Alphabet Soup to the ISS, I formally request they rename it to *Acronym Soup....* 😊
13th would be nice, it's my Birthdat🎉🎉🎉
screenshot all comments who say spacex will never make it, then confront them when they do
To the one Hera Falcon 9 booster and three upcoming Europa Clipper boosters:
Thank you for your impeccable space flight services! 🫡
_(impeccable, except for Heavy's center booster, it's brand new)_
22:22 great total time stamp
Some one gifted me membership. Thank you 💙💙💙💙💙💙
So is this flight now happening the same day as the proposed New Glenn first flight?
New Glenn is not flying until next month at the earliest
According to Next Spaceflight and Everyday Astronaut, yes. NS-27 is scheduled an hour after ITF5. Subject to SpaceX getting FAA approval, of course.
@@David-yo5ws That's so funny, so SpaceX are now trolling NS with spaceships! If FT5 goes ahead, who do you suppose most people will be watching?
Amazing how everyone tries to catch up to SpaceX with self landing boosters while SpaceX already does it completely regularly. Even if they catch up Starship will be too far infront.
Haven: Isn't it good, Norwegian wood [sitar solo]
I wonder if the final design will only ever have the booster perform return to launch site catches and the Starship vehicles will land on drone ships out at sea, similar to the Falcon 9 first stages. The scaled up v2 ships may be able to incorporate a landing leg system, given the larger mass to payload tradeoffs.
Please can you let me know if Ireland have been invited to join the Artemis Accord. Many thanks !

Along with 1063, 1064, and 1090
(Europa Clipper's)
Yeah, nobody would be suspicious of PLD using parachutes...
Check Elysias earrings this edition (or actually every edition). How awesome are these black hole ones
Than you
It would be better if you tell us what fuels are used in the PLD rocket.
Kerosene
Nice job good video
Soooo pld copies 1:1 spacex falcon platform?
I mean...why not right? Falcon 9 will be long gone before PLD finishes their work...if ever. SpaceX will have the Starship by then fully operational.
@@interpl6089 I guess, I mean all cars are kind of similar, maybe simile will be with launch vehicles :)
@@DrAlexMore Falcon 9 is close to being a perfect rocket for anyone. That's why it's so popular and that's why everyone tries to replicate it.
Government organizations need to chill with the initialisms / acronyms
15:51 Where's China?
Great episode as usual, but random to take the mic away from Elysia the last two weeks? Just doesn’t feel as concise with multiple hosts
Wait, before the sun comes up. is this going to be a night launch?
Fundamentally, maybe. The launch window does include some daytime periods.
We made it through hurricane Milton ok in St cloud fla but many of my fellow Floridians sustained serious property damage thank you gov Ron desantis for being on top of the storm prep and aftermath
Hello everyone
Hello!
bro the PLD space rockets almost look like falcon 9
Those station images look like a house that's been prepped for a real estate opening. And can you use wood in an environment where a fire would cause a very bad day?
It might show wood, but it could be a processed wood that has pellets in it, that release CO2 when heated. They would be better off having a heavy woven wool matting. This is going to offer insulation protection and will not burn. It will also wick water away from the cold metal.
Any insight into why the Falcon 9 anomaly investigation is taking so long to resolve? Is it actually justified by complications and safety concerns or is the longer than expected delay related to political turmoil between SpaceX and its regulators?
In usual news fashion, right after the episode was published, the FAA announced it had closed all mishap investigations from all three Falcon mishaps from this summer.
@@ale131296 oh cool! I'll take a look to see if I can find the announcement. Thanks!
Hi everybody
Elon Musk: Hm, four booster to F 9? Why not?
@fd5927 whether you like him or not, Elon is an enabler without peer on the present day, he can do them all.
Yeah 😊😊🚀🚀

Hello
What's the name of the intro song
PLD is wonderfully kerbal. Just needs asparagus staging.
we rode it out and ty yes we are all ok things can be fixed people can not be replaced being a space nerd like me after thinking about my family and my home i was like i hope spacex and nasa will be ok down at the KSC
NASA & DOD can overrule/bypass FAA to approve a launch license! Elon seems to know he has the go-ahead and the only question is whether the FAA will want to save face with a last minute approval or hold fast with hands crossed.
There is no indication either NASA or DoD will be licensing this mission
@@ale131296 Installing the flight termination system would indicate a launch is imminent so it has to be NASA/DOD licensing it since the FAA is sticking with their late November guidance!
@@Starpopper800 The FAA just gave them the license 🙃🙃
Tbh I prefer “this week in spaceflight” being hosted only by Elysia
Are those OneWheel earrings Elysia? That's hot!
I am in awe of your ability to use those ridiculous ginned-up acronyms with a straight face. 🙂
Theyre launching from a nature reserve? Thats, different 😅
Holy cow Olivia! Look who’s the new master of the word salad
rip dune cam in advance
Yayyyyyyyyy
Trippy bruh
So. Many. Acronyms 😮💨
I'm very curious, like many, to see if SpaceX can catch the booster and then the Starship. Even more curious to see if they can make it as routine as landing the Falcon 9 booster. Elon and SpaceX seem to have a knack at accomplishing things that most thought impossible. Let's see if they can continue to surprise and amaze.
It looks like NASA has overruled the FAA on SpaceX's IFT5 launch. NASA should have been regulating SpaceX all along. They are no longer a "startup" or experimental space company. They are the number one provider for NASA, DOD as well as half the planet. NASA or DOD/Space Force regulate all space related activity. Why the FAA has any jurisdiction because the rocket is the air for a minute and a half is ridiculous anyway. One of the A's in the FAA is aeronautics (pertaining to air only), NASA has the A and the S pertaining to air and SPACE. Any activity that occurs mostly above the Karman line is in space. NASA also has safety protocols and the responsibility of public and personnel safety. Put the proper responsibility with the proper agency and leave it there. Space is space as in National Aeronautics and SPACE Administration. (NASA)

5000 micro meter accuracy? How many micro inches is that?
In fairness, it took you longer to type that than it would've to hammer into Google:
5000 micrometer to inch 😅
Which is *0.197"*
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE I know. Will the reference was half a centimeter accuracy Landing from SpaceX on ift 4. Then Scott Manley tweeted a joke about it
@@mr.transposon5017 Aaah gotcha. A casualty of not using/viewing X! 😅
are those M87 earrings?
Unfortunately, due to time dilation, you'll never get her response....

Hello spacefans
*jazz hands*
Talking about and doing something are not the same
Made while in space 😂
Elysia, are you wearing black hole earrings? At least, that is what your earrings looked like to me.
They don't need licence for splashdown launch...
They do, however, because of the different vehicle configuration. Also, SpaceX is going for the catch
@@ale131296 they already have license for 5 launches if they are not attempting catch and going for splashdown! Already confirmed by FAA that they don't need licence if for splashdown, which is why tomorrow launch is inevitable.
@@acritas we already asked the FAA over a month ago and the current license is not valid because the vehicle configuration changed. Also, the license, precisely because it's only valid for a certain vehicle configuration, would not have been valid for 5 launches because in two launches time SpaceX is moving to version 2 of the ship
Hmm. Thanks for update! 👍
Faa are too quick to congratulate spaceXs launches , but very slow at giving a green light to go . I understand the necessary precautions but surely that wouldnt take this long , theyre only amending it as the current lisense dont include catching booster.... Sooooo fingers crossed for sunday
The sky color was due to the flares of the sun and the earth magnetic changes that are on couring. You guys need to educate yourselves on more than just rockets if you're going to talk about weather events.
The sky colors she refers to can be seen even when the sun is inactive
@@ale131296 yes and as I said it is due to the magnetic field. The arora's have been seen further south than in many years. The sun is at solar maximum and will be for the next year. The magnetic field has lost 25% or more of its strength. Which is why we see more changes and colors. Even if the magnetic field was not weakened colors only happen when stong coronal ejections happens. Unless you are in the artic or Antartica. That's where the particles come through the atmosphere first.
Even when the sun is at solar minimums there can still be flares just not as often. We have had 3 or 4 flares in the last two weeks. It also effected the hurricanes.
@@icrewheloso8588 when Milton passed by Florida the geomagnetic storm was still 2 days from happening. There's literally no way you can seriously say that they're both related when they happened with two days of difference
disappointing to see Russia hasn't signed the Artemis Accords (were they invited).. Lets not take this into space as well..
I wonder where Elons priorities lie. Is it Starship, Cybertruck, Cybertaxi, Automonutic robots. Please "someone" HELP ME. Does Elon really what to launch a ship to Mars?
Why not all at the same time? He has the money and means to do it.
Got FAA clearance?? No. Don't waste my time!!
If we applied that even to Falcon 9 itself we wouldn't cover many of the stuff we cover on This Week In Spaceflight. You need to widen your horizon
FAA again...
Just not in the race Ben. Get a grip.
Fyi, that Alex segment was a bit jarringly over long
Just to elucidate on that. Elysia's script was tight and well written, but then out of the blue we switch to Alex with a much more conversational long form piece, which then without warning pivots to ANOTHER quite rambling (when compared to the snappier news style format of twis) segment about starship. I can appreciate the idea of the whole "and now, our reporter in the field" sort of thing where it's a bit more informal, but this just felt poorly pitched, especially the second starship segment, which seems even more unnecessary given the amount of coverage it's already getting on nsf elsewhere.
No, it was great. - Dave Huntsman
