If you're wondering why this has been reuploaded, the team removed a bunch of Tim talking about how he wasn't going to be able to make this launch due to a potential conflict with a launch collab with Mark Rober. My guess is that there's either no longer a conflict and he does expect to make it OR it was confusing and people thought that his team wasn't going to livestream this launch (or both).
They removed that part due to a few ignorant comments were left under the video. Some people seem to think that Tim needs to dedicate his whole life to the coverage of Starship...
Good to see a Tim video again, haven’t seen one for ages for one reason or another but what you see is what you get with him no clickbait, no bull no hype, the way it should be. 👏
Well his space suit was click bait.... However it shows his efforts wearing a suit that doesn't breath 😂 anything. Would love to see him put yearly for the memes lol 😆
I started watching you when you were that plucky photographer in an astronaut suite. Now your AstroAwards is a legit event. You've come a long way in so many areas. Great job Tim!! You ROCK!
I love the breakdown of how there are literally dozens of small tests being conducted at once, with minimal risk to the mission, instead of just attempting to improve one or two things at a time. The various tile removals and new material/cooling tests particularly are interesting since they can combine that data and use the best of both worlds for future missions. Awesome stuff!
Im hoping one of the "dummy" starlink satellites are going to be outfitted with cameras so we can see the starship from the outside. And possibly get some reentry footage from its perspective.
There will be an in-sapce engine relight after payload deploy. That would be cool to see. I don't think the satellites would stay with Starship long enough to watch reentry.
Rewatching the older videos now, it's funny seeing how Tim's video esthetics went through an accelerated version of the esthetics of the space industry as a whole
love the new intro :) it's good to see some content from you Tim. I can only imagine how busy you're with everything that's going on on the space stage.
Pushing the envelope of the structure is something that's great that SpaceX can do. When you build rockets traditionally it's all on paper and in simulations and so it's limits are 100% theoretical and they rarely get any practical tests on those limitations. Knowing where the ACTUAL line is helps improve simulation models and gives a confidence on how far things can actually be pushed in and outside of the safety margins.
Looks to me like part of the airframe is getting annealed, which is not great. Probably why they are experimenting with active cooling again. If they can't reenter the thing without turning the stainless steel into playdough, it will never be reusable.
This is a problem they have been aware of since the start. The base alloy they picked to develop their own custom metallurgy from is known for its ability to maintain strength when hot, and for not losing strength over many heat cycles. 304 basically doesn't suffer much loss of strength from annealing, and they likely are trying to engineer the ship to have just exactly the minimum strength needed to survive when at the metal's weakest point.
@@sheldoniusRexGotta love the brilliant SpaceX staff who continually engineer improvements into every aspect of their rocket fleet. They make history nearly every day of the year👏🇺🇸
Their banana delivery system to the indian ocean is unrivaled, and to have it nicely cooked is a bonus. Maybe they'll make a full circle and be able to return the banana to sender.
Yes, I had to go back and stop the video to inspect them. But he clearly says the one with the flaps further away from the nose cone is the new version. But yes, a label would have been nice.
It truly is a MASSIVE upgrade, the changes from the block 1 begin to TAPER away, especially when looking at the LOWer flaps, it truly is a sight to see as we FADE away from block 1 to block 2
Too many people crying about the fact that he couldn't be here in person for flight 7 because he signed a contract to cover the launch of Mark Robert's satellite. Looks like those people don't understand what a contract is and the fact that it's not a big deal that he can't see it in person even if he can cover it live with SpaceX broadcast...
i pretty much have been watching starships evolution from 2016, and i find it funny how it went from active cooking to passive and now back to active XD. i remember watching your old video.
SpaceX should send up a bunch of Flerfers instead of the dummy loads. They can admire the curvature first hand. 😅 Maybe start with Eric Dubay and Austin WitShit.
Flerfers ignored the opportunity to see the 24hr sun with a fully paid trip to Antarctica. The one that went has been attacked ever since as being a shill for globers or some other BS. The leaders know the truth but spread their lies as that is all they can do to make money.
@@garnet4846 You seem to need new material more than I do. Calling someone a bot is pretty lame. If you're taking offense to my original comment you must be a Flerf.
Upon landing wouldn't it be better not to land in with the engines hitting water rather with a horizontal push at the last minute so most of the impact is on the horizontal side
This had to be reposted due to all the negative comments about him covering the Transporter 12 mission (one with mark robers satellite) and not being able to attend the starship launch in person. People can be real childish
Did you see the space junk fall to earth in a village in Kenya this week? Wondered if you had any idea which rocket this ring came from, I thought with knowing the diameter you might be able to work this out
For testing future heat shields: Install some on stage zero, right in the middle where the blast from take off hits…. would that work? Or too much pressure, not enough heat?
I assume it is too small amount of time. During reentry it is minutes while during liftoff it just a few seconds. You were able to see that all the damage was done during some time, not immediately. So I assume the most significant thing is not a heat itself, but the time this heat impacts the vehicle
this would be infeasible in general, reusable tiles are meant for high heat, low temperature reentries (so that they can radiate and soak up the heat slowly) a launchpad is the total opposite of that, and would result in your heat shield tile not existing for very long additionally, the bottom of the launchpad is a steel plate with holes for water, so there isnt any space to put a heat shield tile without covering a water output
They do test in a vacuum chamber with a plasma generator build by NASA for the space shuttle program. Its still in use and often used by different company's.
The plans for deploying other satellites has changed numerous times. And it likely will again. Deploying Starlink is the most critical goal right now, followed by refueling, and then HLS. We likely won't see other options until late this year or, more likely, some time next year.
I have a couple of questions regarding the next flight of Starship. One why was ship 32 skipped and two how will SpaceX minimize the risk of the Starlink simulators colliding with the ship after they are deployed?
They skip ships numbers for speeding up r and d. Spacex was building 32 but the higher powers change to the new design and not waste money on older versions when they have the data for that version. The simulators are ejected out like if you were to push away from an object floating on water. It moves slowly away
There is a call out FTS saved much before. The FTS is too small to create many small fragments, so the ships will not burn up completely in the atmosphere. But all the fragments will hit the same spot on Earth. The debris field will not increase that much. The problem is that the ship is too big and has too much mass. A hit on the ground will be above terminal velocity and that can be transonic. A lot of energy.

I bet 'active cooling' uses some form of thermally conductive pathways, bonded at the inner surface to the cold SS skin of the propellant tank, and to a 'thermal collector layer' under some thickness of the refractory outer surface of the tile, to allow heat to wick away from the hottest part of the tile at an 'engineered rate' to regulate thermal stress from building up too quickly across the thickness if the tile.
It is going to be a interesting time line with flight 8 if they say there going to catch a ship, starship will have to stay in orbit until they get the booster off the chopsticks and let’s say the arms aren’t ready… or at worst booster don’t get caught and ship catch works but it’s going to be intense and idk how there going to do this, sacrifice the booster or catch the booster and stress test the chopsticks get the booster off the pad and then after 3-4 hours clear the pad again and have starship de orbit and hopefully get a catch. I mean it is what they want to do hourly rapid turn around time so even if they destroy the pad and tower they will know but I think it’s going to be one booster or ship at a time one has to be expended… if you read this I hope it made sense lol
I think there are very safe landing locations much closer to the West Australian coast and in shallow water that would make recovery of Starship easier. Including areas with low environmental risks. Eventually Starship will need legs for some operations and should be added to some prototypes. This is one of Australia's most isolated coastal regions. But does have some substantial heavy industrial infrastructure including very heavy load port facilities. Mainly for mining and also gas. And includes a US Navy communications base. Also the very large array radio telescope. The Area has mostly clear weather outside of the monsoon season which includes occasional cyclones. The Infrastructure usually handles cyclones well. The state has a long history of excellent engineering. The region is larger than Texas but with less than a million people living there. Most of the population is in the southern region which has a cooler climate. It is very remote but well developed. Many foreign students study at the universities due to the capabilities and security. As a launch site for rockets it is on the wrong coast. Rockets launched in the North of WA go over isolated regions of the Australian mainland and not an Ocean. The Great Barrier Reef region on the East Coast would be better for launching. If SpaceX wants a launch facility in the region.
Well, if the trajectory intersects just the atmosphere, _then it is_ orbital! Getting below the planet's surface makes a flight suborbital. But if it's not that, it might be best classified as a _transatmospheric_ orbit.
'Why don't they just' put the ship vacuum raptors in the centre and the sea-level raptors at the periphery? That way the gimbaling could be used to splay the engines outward so they fire past rather than onto the top of the booster at hot staging. Wait until there is a bit of separation before starting the vacuum engines. This should also give more control authority with less gimbal movement because of the greater lever arm.
Great Video ! Did they choose to fly again the Engine 314 because it is a nice round number ? The engine could be related to the nice round number 3.14159 as round as mom's Pi ! Timothy Lipinski
Speaking of cameras... Once they're coasting in orbit, why don't they send a thruster powered drone out the pez dispenser to zip around and get live close up video of the ship. That would be a badass view plus possibly provide valuable assessment.
Transpirational cooling: a process that uses evaporation to cool the air and the surrounding environment. This would do two things, first leaking a liquid that would instantly turn into a gas would suck up a massive amount of energy (heat) in the phase shift. Second it would create a buffer of gas that is less hot than the plasma environment of re-enter. Although it does sound counter intuitive, to pour spray out methane to cool something the physics behind it is the same as why we sweat and are cooled by the process.
Damage to an antennae located on the tower caused them to abort the catch. The booster was nominal on approach and could’ve attempted catch if it wasn’t for the tower having an issue.
I've been wondering, why "mass simulators"? Why not "mass" or "payload simulators"? Unless there have been advances in artificial gravity, there aren't any mass simulators. 🤔🤔 Thanks for all the updates.
mass simulators is the right term. That means they are at least in mass similar. For payload there are more factors like volume, stiffness and eigen frequency.
So, what is the payload of Starship down to now? I recall claims of 180 tonnes to low earth orbit years ago, Then150 then 100. A suppose a fake banna is a payload.
The goal is 150+ tones with full reuse, but just like the Falcon 9, it's going to be a few years to get there. Remember that F9 went through multiple iterations to get to where it is today, the original pales in comparison to the current design. Unless you're a customer that is trying to design a satellite to launch, just be patient and enjoy this process. We've literally never gotten to see rocket development like this.
@@avsrule247 If you reduce the payload bay (not an really an issue because it's too big for pretty much everything and and large opening one will further reduce payload.) increase fuel load and beef up the structure, you are going to have to give something else up. I hope this is not another Hyperloop, Boring comapny or Cybertruck.
@@jiubboatman9352 I mean we can play devil's advocate just for fun, and imagine a future where Starship caps out at 100 tones with full reuse. Is that really a bad thing, even tho Elon proposed 150, or 200 in early concepts? 100 tones would still be far more than any other launch vehicle available, while keeping costs low if full reusability is achieved. I mean, the numbers we're talking about as people who are not customers is really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, aren't they?
what about artemis 2 and 3 will land 1 st mankind on the moon mission but only 2 years left...where is lander ? where is docking system ? where is radiation shield ? where is 60's apollo technology ? or sls can " vertical landing " like space-x rocket with out flight test ?

Transpirational cooling: a process that uses evaporation to cool the air and the surrounding environment. This would do two things, first leaking a liquid that would instantly turn into a gas would suck up a massive amount of energy (heat) in the phase shift. Second it would create a buffer of gas that is less hot than the plasma environment of re-enter. Although it does sound counter intuitive, to pour spray out methane to cool something the physics behind it is the same as why we sweat and are cooled by the process.
Can anyone give me the SP of what happened during flight 6 to stop the booster catch, what system broke?
Damage to an antennae located on the tower caused them to abort the catch. The booster was nominal on approach and could’ve attempted catch if it wasn’t for the tower having an issue.
so when's your moon trip?
Can't wait until they go to Mars and check out Cydonia.
Cannot wait for all the rocket launches this year 2025 starting with Blue Origin!
I've been wondering, why "mass simulators"? Why not "mass" or "payload simulators"? Unless there have been advances in artificial gravity, there aren't any mass simulators. 🤔🤔
Thanks for all the updates.
mass simulators is the right term. That means they are at least in mass similar. For payload there are more factors like volume, stiffness and eigen frequency.
I really feel like I saw this already
I suggest a name for Starlink Starship: Jukebox 💿
So, what is the payload of Starship down to now? I recall claims of 180 tonnes to low earth orbit years ago, Then150 then 100. A suppose a fake banna is a payload.
Apparently block 1 could do 40-50t
The goal is 150+ tones with full reuse, but just like the Falcon 9, it's going to be a few years to get there. Remember that F9 went through multiple iterations to get to where it is today, the original pales in comparison to the current design. Unless you're a customer that is trying to design a satellite to launch, just be patient and enjoy this process. We've literally never gotten to see rocket development like this.
@@avsrule247 If you reduce the payload bay (not an really an issue because it's too big for pretty much everything and and large opening one will further reduce payload.) increase fuel load and beef up the structure, you are going to have to give something else up.
I hope this is not another Hyperloop, Boring comapny or Cybertruck.
@@jiubboatman9352 I mean we can play devil's advocate just for fun, and imagine a future where Starship caps out at 100 tones with full reuse. Is that really a bad thing, even tho Elon proposed 150, or 200 in early concepts? 100 tones would still be far more than any other launch vehicle available, while keeping costs low if full reusability is achieved. I mean, the numbers we're talking about as people who are not customers is really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, aren't they?
apparently theres no way to reduce speed to 1000 before 26 miles up ...... yet.
Jus a few minor incremental changes. Nothing revolutionary when you take a detached objective view.
I bet those “dummy simulators” are actual simulators.
what about artemis 2 and 3 will land 1 st mankind on the moon mission but only 2 years left...where is lander ? where is docking system ? where is radiation shield ? where is 60's apollo technology ? or sls can " vertical landing " like space-x rocket with out flight test ?
no one believes in the 2 years time frame 😀 To much of the Artemis program is not in schedule.
Deja vu? I’ll watch again! 😅
how soon do ya figure Starship can start hauling satellites up to deploy?
As soon as SpaceX posting it on their website
When are we going to see a starship with feet suitable for landing on the moon?
