Exciting indeed, but I think that when Starship is operational, their focus will have to be on HLS and getting a starship moonbound. The re-using part will be put on the backburner for a bit, I suspect. But when HLS is ready, they'll be right back on track, as they'll have to re-use tanker starships a lot, from the get-go.
first crewed launch from SpaceX's workhorse pad SLC-40! What a show. and next year we'll see these two guys come back with Butch and Suni. Good thing the Florida weather cleared up just in time for liftoff, I thought we were in for a scrub.
I’ll never get over watching a booster land. I know it’s as routine as a sunrise nowadays…. But when I watch a landing, I cant help but think of how much went into getting a 135ft structure to land with such precision. From every valve and turbo pump…to each engine and every relight.. to the sensors, software and guidance system. Everything working in harmony to do something I never thought I’d ever see. It’s truly amazing and they continue to make it look so easy
really sucks that a company like boeing can strand 2 people in space forcing the dragon crew to launch with 2 empty seats to bring them back, meanwhile the FAA is hammering spaceX with delays on starship for "safety" reasons when they are the ones who will be bringing those two stranded astronauts back from the station. Can't wait to watch launch 5 of starship, hopefully soon.
If they weren't being hammered for "safety" reasons, future astronauts would be in mortal danger due to the self-regulation that never works because of unscrupulous CEO's cutting corners to save a few bucks.
Hey Tim, you have come a long way. Love that you still have such enthusiasm. . . The landing profile is dynamic; otherwise there would be no need for grid fins. Plus, the overall profile would have to be dynamic because the weather throughout the atmosphere is dynamic and not static.
Tim Dodd - Space Industry's Walter Kronkite - Trusted by ALL, Passionate, Cutting Edge. Tim, thank-you. Now, expand into the international teams. You are the best source of unbiased, non-politicized information in the industry, and for that YOU are to be congratulated. Cheers from Texas.
Tim, they ended up only taking up one flight suit for Butch and Suni. They had one suit onboard the ISS that fit Suni well enough so they didn’t have to take one up for her.
Big difference between catch and landing on land is that they limit the options for directional control since that have to control for roll. But yes, I think they can do this.
I got the Apollo hoodie and it's sick, the quality is great, not just some bog standard cheap hoodie, actually fits different to other hoodies I've owned in a good way.
Awesome stream Tim. Nice format and great video overlays/layout. "title" reads more like a deorbit return to Earth, rather that a launch to ISS. ;) Do hope you can stream Utopia Clipper launch, the most performance tuned Falcon Heavy to ever launch.

Annoying that the media are still calling it a "rescue mission". I noticed how they stopped mentioning that they'd be coming back next year to make it sound more dramatic too.
yeah, me too. That's what I heard. But you can't really tell someone who's drowning, "Im busy right now with my own plans. I'll help you when my calendar opens up." If you want to be the hero, you have to drop everything and go be the hero
For you intro, how about adding a clip from the color of magic where Rincewind and the Tourist fly over the edge of disc world to prove that the Turtle is real.
It was a single engine entry burn, this burn profile started with AX-2 and since then Crew-7, AX-3, Crew-8 and now Crew-9 have used it too. Its a single engine entry burn and a 1-3-1 engine landing burn. The Falcon Heavy Side Boosters for the Jupiter3/EchoStar24 mission also used this 1 engine entry burn and 3 engine landing burn profile.
Does it get quieter inside the cabin once the rocket is flying past the speed of sound? Obviously, some vibrations will go through the rocket itself, but I wonder if there is a noticeable reduction in sound volume for the astronauts.
The thing about MaxQ is if you say “maximum dynamic pressure” you still haven’t explained anything. If you say “dynamic pressure is the force of the moving air. If you’re driving and you stick your hand out of the window at 80 mph, you get 16x as much force on it as if you were driving 20 mph. That’s the force associated with dynamic pressure, and that’s how it works, relative to speed.” If you say that, THEN people will know what you’re saying.
I was just noticing that max-q happens right at the scale height altitude, which on Earth is about 8km (the guy called out the max-q at 8.1 km). That's the altitude where the pressure is 1/e of the STP. Is that just a coincidence or is there some relationship there?
This is not his Video intro but his streaming intro. And for streaming this is quite normal. Because when starting a livestream even the most dedicated subscribers need some time to start watching but if they want to hear and see every bit of the actual content there is the need for this buffer content.
NASA required SpaceX to only have 4 seats, versus the 6-7 seat version SpaceX originally started designing. And NASA also required SpaceX to dump propulsive landings and use parachutes.
Why did the two astronauts get taken off of the flight? Couldn't they take 4 up and bring 2 back? Sorry if this was answered in the stream. I might have missed it.
The dragon need to stay on the ISS as long as this crew stays. There is another dragon up there today that brought the crew 8 up and are bringing crew 8 back now.
About MAX Q. If someone wants to know what it means, there is this thing called the INTERNET where you can look up what things mean! I agree it does not have to be explained every time!
It was a single engine entry burn, this burn profile started with AX-2 and since then Crew-7, AX-3, Crew-8 and now Crew-9 have used it too. Its a single engine entry burn and a 1-3-1 engine landing burn. The Falcon Heavy Side Boosters for the Jupiter3/EchoStar24 mission also used this single engine entry and 3 engine landing burn profile
So far MaxQ was after supersonic.. means around 1200-1300 km/hour was Supersonic and around 1800 km/hr was Max Q.. Why todays its MaxQ first and then followed by supersonic announcement? let me know if I am wrong..correct me please then..
Back in the days in the beginning. When the technicians, we'll call it a capsule shepherd. Who told them that is call a spacecraft? Check out the movie, call the right stuff.🚀 remember is call a space craft. Have a great day. Love you show. And I really love the starship coffee mug.I'm buying a whole bunch of them off of you giving them out for christmas gift
I didn't note that they used 9 engines for entry burn. But they would do that to use less fuel (== increase performance). When you burn in the vertical axis, the shorter the burn, the less fuel wasted. During vertical burn, thrust for one g is always waste, so the longer you burn, the longer you're going to burn for that one g, and all that fuel is wasted. 3 engines is normal? I think? They would not use only one engine. That would be way too wasteful. But 9 engines would put a big g-load on the empty rocket, so I dunno. This is also why the high thrust of the Raptor engines is so important. The Starship need to get up to speed as fast as possible. This also why everyone else is using boosters, which effectively makes the rocket a three stage rocket. There's a whole discussion to have about that too, and why that is not so smart for reusable rockets, but leads to lowest cost for a throwaway, modular rocket, like Vulcan or Angara.
It was a Single Engine entry burn, not 9 This burn profile started with AX-2 and since then Crew-7, AX-3, Crew-8 and now Crew-9 have used it too. Its a single engine entry burn and a 1-3-1 engine landing burn.
@@nixonperez Ah, I see! They brake the minimum and accept more heat, then using the atmosphere more for energy dissipation. And brake harder for landing. That will work for better performance.
1:13:44 I would like to see what Elon et al. do (going forward) with the LOX tank autogenous pressurization. I wonder if the extra mass for the ice filters outweighs the weight cost compared with an added heat exchanger would cost.
They were speculating on the latest CSI Starbase video that this ice problem could go away with Raptor 3's. Again speculating that the design changes may tap pure oxygen for the LOX tank pressurization, instead of partially burnt turbopump exh.
Tim Can you explain what happens to the second stage once it is separated from the capsule? Also the launch frame that released the various satellites on other launches? Do they deorbit intentionally? Or do they just decay and burn up prior to hitting the Earth? 🙂
If anything goes wrong with the capsule the spacex commentator [aka Clark Kent ] will dissappear search the country for one of the last few phone booths and presto superman will save the day 🦸♂️
Every entry burn I've seen is 3 engine. Never seen a 9 engine, before. That definitely looks like a 9 engine burn and not 3 and not 1. The LANDING burn was 1 engine, as usual.
Looks like Ice. There are still small amounts of gasses exiting the nozzle, that is why it accelerates away when it enters the barely existent exhaust plume.
The dragon isn't just going up, leaving the crew and flying back home again. The dragon need to stay as long the crew are up there (by safety reasons) this means that Butch and Suni are going back on this, but its not going back until February.
31:30 Hi Tim! What they are doing is (1) propulsively HOVERING in the Earth's gravity, and (2) gaining the speed at the same time in order to reach the centrifugal force equal to the gravity. This mode is almost NEVER explained correctly by spaceflight observers. Thank you.
WAIT A MINUTE!!... so Elon cancelled the "Dear Moon" mission in order to make room to rescue the Boeing crew?? aw, man! I mean, it's the right thing to do, the right sacrifice, but it sucks balls big time! Maybe Boeing can repay Elon after the dust settles.
Elon did not cancel the Dear moon. Dear moon wasn't his mission. SpaceX/Elon was the company that was being paid to do that mission. The Guy who was going to pay them regret and cancelled the Dear Moon.

They are going HOME in February, it's allways been planned to launch the crew 9 now.
To summarize Boeing's current success rate and pace of innovation: They've effectively matched impedance with government.
Which, perhaps not ironically, is success for Boeing. They've matched their customer's competence and efficiency.
Go Spacex, go Crew 9 - Bon Voyage !!!
For you intro, how about adding a clip from the color of magic where Rincewind and the Tourist fly over the edge of disc world to prove that the Turtle is real.
I think the new 9 engine burn offers redundancy to prevent another booster landing incident like the last one
It was a single engine entry burn, this burn profile started with AX-2 and since then Crew-7, AX-3, Crew-8 and now Crew-9 have used it too.
Its a single engine entry burn and a 1-3-1 engine landing burn.

Does it get quieter inside the cabin once the rocket is flying past the speed of sound? Obviously, some vibrations will go through the rocket itself, but I wonder if there is a noticeable reduction in sound volume for the astronauts.
Does heat from the exaust cone radiate in space? I would think it does not.

I was almost sure nasa would opt for the six seating option for this mission. I guess they have their reasons, but seems like a waste..

Same! I turned on notifications just for this stream and everything
Yay more Tim content 😊
Was there a leak on the second stage???
Great intro 👏
Tim is a legend and Elon bought his shirts
What's up with the two empty seats.. they could have placed several cases of beer there.. stingy..
I was just noticing that max-q happens right at the scale height altitude, which on Earth is about 8km (the guy called out the max-q at 8.1 km). That's the altitude where the pressure is 1/e of the STP. Is that just a coincidence or is there some relationship there?
If they didn't separate until after nominal orbit insertion, does that mean the second stage is now going to orbit for the foreseeable future?
They usually have a deorbit margin. I think the only 2nd stages that don't are GTO.
I don't think I will ever get over watching a Falcon return landing.
Perfect timed "plopp!"😂🎉 @39:26

Why didnt they put 6 seats in Dragon? Why do they make a rescue Mission with only 2 astronauts instead of 4 and back with 6?
need modification
Yeah I never understood why NASA didn't order two emergency seats, that can be folded out.
NASA required SpaceX to only have 4 seats, versus the 6-7 seat version SpaceX originally started designing.
And NASA also required SpaceX to dump propulsive landings and use parachutes.
@@ernestgalvan9037 Dumping propulsive landing made sense to me, but only 4 seats stumped me.
Adding more astronaut seats also mean more connections for life support, health monitors and comms.
