@MarcusHouse could you split new in to one channel with space news and one with everything to do with SpaceX and Elon so I can unsub from that channel. Thanks in advance
I imagine the spiral crew cabin design not only maximizes space, but also could allow a detcord haul ejection system, so if you have parachutes in the cabins, you could eject while at subsonic speeds or close to it. The detcord could unzip the haul and allow the cabins to eject outward.
Is it possible that One of your fellow Space Advocates coving SpaceX and others may be working covertly with Fish and Wildlife,.... If you conduct a FOIA request you will see.
@@MarcusHouse I remember trying to watch every launch and landing. Now it's just "ho-hum" and every time i think about that, I'm amazed how fast we went from "can't miss" to "it's still flying? Cool"
@@BarthhhelonaWOW! Close to falcon in two more years! If they don’t have any accidents stranding astronauts in space, they might eventually catch up to SpaceX ten years ago!

Nothing gets a great weekend started off better. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication towards providing this platform for all of us.
I have a lousy wide view cell phone video from Raptor Roost. But the one great thing about that video is you can CLEARLY see the Shockwave propagation through the clouds, across the ground, and then when the blasts hit us. It was emotional.
I just want to take a moment to thank you for keeping your videos free from click bait titles and other drama. I've pretty much declined to watch any other channels lately due to these issues. I figure I'll just wait for yours and get the straight information. Good job! Thanks.

But only if I feel that it looks like it has news worthy content
3:55 I can easily tell your excitement, combining two popular phrases "blew it out of the water" and, "hit it out of the park," into a new phrase! I'm just as excited too about your weekly coverage. Keep it coming! Cheers, mate!
I'm more excited that flight six will give us an orbital relight, opening Flight Seven to orbit and thus payload delivery. From then on, even test flights can pay their way by dropping off some Starlinks or commercial sats.
So glad you mentioned Gilmour Space. We are going to Bowen to watch, if we get enough advance notice! (we are 2 hours from there, so no real hassle! Thankyou for the video each week!
It is just incredible how much space there is inside the Starship nosecone. Some people permanently live in a smaller volume than that! People can walk (float) around and not be hitting their elbows everywhere. Heck they could even jog around the inside perimeter like in 2001 A Space Odyssey.
It's definitely roomy. My wife and I lived in less than 225 square feet for almost 8 years aboard a sailboat. But unlike an astronaut, we could spend time on deck, stretch the legs, poke our head out whenever we wanted, they won't be able to do that. It's going to take some special people to be able to cope with that type of confinement. I used to think that I could be the type of person to journey to and live on Mars but after years of living aboard, I've decided it's not for me (not that I'd have a chance to be an astronaut anyway). My bet is that some submariners could be trained, they've already proven their mental abilities to be able to confine themselves for extended periods of time. Exciting times we live in, I can't wait for the delayed- live feeds during these missions!
Well sure looks nice. But you be on the moon high up, so just 3mm of stainless steel between you and cosmic radiation. I would not spent more than a few weeks there otherwise high risk of cancer.
Doesnt matter how many times i see that catch im still gobsmacked. I still can't believe it was first attempt. I figured it would take them at least 2-3 attempts to really get things dialled in!
When it happened I leapt off the couch pumping my fist in the air and immediately burst into tears. I’m a 60 year old man. I startled my wife who was ‘humouring’ me by watching it with me, causing her to spill her coffee. She was mad and thought I was crazy. I told her it was as an important moment in history equivalent to Kitty Hawk, or Apollo 11. She was more interested in mopping up the coffee off the couch.
13:20 My guess is that each of the three new downcomers is designed to feed two vac engines. Plumbing a single split to two neighboring engines is straightforward to route and balance. It saves weight versus 6 dedicated downcomers,, while avoiding the complexity of N-way splits with different pipe lengths and angles. We'll find out soon enough :)
Do you think you'll be making your way up to Bowen from Tasmania? I'm in Melbourne, and it's so exciting to see us finally get really involved in the space industry.
The interior looks like the one in the comics 'Tintin Destination Moon' , written in ... 1950. Even the crane to unload material on the moon surface is the same. Can't wait to see the real HLS landing. Nice work Marcus !
4:06 Cool to see such a clear image of the hot stating ring and it's released. Plus the watery landing. We get to see all this these days. It's wonderful. 🤩
400 launches of Falcon! Wow, I still remember watching the first launches of Falcon 1 from Kwajalein, when SpaceX was just a crazy dream and Elon wasn't even a billionaire. Boy, he's come a long way and achieved so much. Incredible person.
Thank you again Marcus Look forward to your updates , always relative informative to what is taking place in the compound and surroundings , developments with Star Ship upgrades Awesome content Much respect ✊
Nice job, first time in a long time that I have watched from my Laptop. Much better. I might have to start watching more from my laptop for the full HD affect.
The cost of experiments like this will save us trillions of future dollars when it comes to makes space travel more accessible. What a time to be alive
Thank you again, Marcus! I still wonder why SpaceX doesn’t perform a short re-entry burn on the super heavy booster similar to the falcon nine process. I know this would reduce payload capacity, but it was scary watching the yellow-hot engine section of the booster before the catch on the last flight. There was clearly some damage and this certainly would affect the quick turnaround they are looking for. I haven’t heard anybody discuss this possibility. What do you think?
When SpaceX decided on full reuse, they gave up the option of simply taking the easy route at the cost of payload. If they tackled all their problems like that, payload would hit zero very quickly. They won't be able to make all of their optimizations work in the end, but that just means they have to try a lot of them to find enough of the ones that do work.
As much as flight 6 is looking interesting and the details have changed a bit, I'd be more interested in tentative plans upcoming for flight 7 and Starship V2.
I believe they have a Raptor 2.5 - a Raptor 2 with propellant connections identical to Raptor 3. That way they can do flights with Raptor 2, then switch to 3 when it's fully operational.
Hey Marcus, those graphs you presented at 3:17 are cool. Where can we find out more about them? Why are there two lines on each graph? How can there be two answers for booster altitude at the same time?
RE crew bunks: why would you keep the odd dust corners between the rectangles? Not too hard to make them slightly wedge shaped, no? (maybe even sharing a wall)
Very cool. Yes, I remember Apollo 10. Everyone was really excited. I think they actually had the option to land if all conditions were favorable. But of course the intent was to just prove the systems. It looks like it won't be too much longer and we will see it happen again!
Hi Marcus - Enjoy watching your shows. I was wondering if you have been to Boca Chica, TX to see SpaceX facility. Perhaps you should make a trip to see it and a launch of Starship. This might give you a different perspective.
Hey Marcus, that was surprising news about the orbit boost by Dragon. I had thought the previously held functionality was that the Dragon was incapablr of doing that. Well surprise, surprise. So is a nrw deorbit vehicle actually requires, or could have a couple of Dragons appropritely synchronised, do the job. They are redundant with the ISS gone anyway.
I think it's more that the thruster layout on Dragon isn't particularly well suited for pushing forward, rather than that it wasn't possible at all. But no, a dedicated de-orbit vehicle is definitely needed. The requirement is basically "as much force as you can put into the station structure without breaking things", and an unmodified capsule doesn't have anywhere near the amount of thrust needed to deliver on that. They're talking about having 20-30 Draco thrusters added to a customised vehicle to give it the required power...
What do folk think of doing a similar process to the original Starship tests? Something where they launch a starship purely for capture. It wouldn't need to be able to survive the re-entry but would fine tube the chopstick process. 🙏🏻
Actually not a bad idea, since the facility itself is so big. Especially for employees who need to move between locations a lot. That being said, that's more of a street than a road. Having a separate cycling gutter may be a waste of paint
On the graphs it would be interesting to see the change in energy over time, and hence the work being done to slow it down Total Engergy = mass * height + 1/2 mass * velocity * velocity
