This is truly the second golden age of space exploration.
i agree
It is indeed 😊
Long may it continue.
Hey Marcus Michael here 0:42 the reason for the aborts is because we had pressure issues as we were filling the tanks the pressure wasn't indicating correctly Annnnnnd we were worried about a fuel leak so the big ol red Abort button was smashed launch date is still good we're just gonna pressurize the different sections find that pesky leak and get everything rolling again they might do a small static fire on SS28
we love your videos keep up the good work :)
Are the “pressure issues” more likely due to the reconfiguration of the ground support equipment tanks & plumbing…or a problem with the ship(s)?
@@737smartin no problems with the ground support equipment we believe that some of the fuel lines or the sensor lines were not connected properly it's always good to err on the side of caution when you're dealing fuel
Hi Michael,
That sounds pretty legit to me considering we are now seeing it roll back out without any visible changes that I can see. Would love to talk more about this if you would like to get in touch though

Cheers! Marcus
Can't start a Saturday without a Marcus House video. Thanks again for helping document history!
It’s good to document the history, but the spying / industrial espionage has become so much easier nowadays ‘cause basically you can get more information free online than ever before.
No offense, I’m a fan of this channel as well. Just feeling too much information sometimes. Maybe SpaceX doesn’t care? 😊
@@yslf5881 In one respect Marcus and co are doing a huge amount of free promotion for SpaceX which legitimises their goals and purpose and gains traction for wider support of their mission. That's a good thing for getting funding, customers, and licences.
F Felix from wai.
Or a Sunday where I live.
@@yslf5881 you can't have too much information. what the heck are you talking about? you like secrets and propaganda? instead of total transparency?
Marcus, I think you are the first space news presenter I've ever seen that mentioned that that space debris image is not to scale. Thank you. I appreciate it.
Lessons learned. Not just the experiments planned, but the entire trip. And Nova-C even got your Tasmania in the photo. Growing up just a hundred miles away from the Cape in the 60s, I find it amazing that every week now I'm getting space news from a dude in Tasmania. Keep it up mate.
From SpaceNews: "Fortunately, the only payload mounted on the side of the lander now facing the surface is a static payload: an artwork provided by artist Jeff Koons." So minus "some antennas", seems they got lucky.
Indeed. Even less margin for error in a manned landing.
IDK, from the get it seems people have been trying to paint a rosy picture on this. I sorta knew, using logic, that it probably tipped over. That's not a good thing and is a disaster despite impressive accomplishments. Now we're trying to say how fortunate it is.. these things weren't made to work from this position. I still think there's many outcomes that will end up a total loss due to the failed landing.
@ison1172 I wonder if they had considered this scenario.
😮
So.... A second Moon lander lands.... On it's side... Lovely.... 😒, MAYBE, designing a lander with a wider foot pad, or lower center of G?
😎🇬🇧
Love your use of graphics that support your rapid information sharing. Seeing quickly the referenced object in the video, using your moving arrows, really adds to the quality of your presentation. And your inclusion of a variety of ‘info-graphics’ including animations, object dimensions, and cutaways make my Saturday morning presentation the highlight of my space-news week. I’m sure that takes more effort and coordination than just talking and adding clips to a video timeline. I generally don’t post comments on RUclips but your presentation required it. Excellent job!
Fascinating stuff about the Odysseus payloads. Thanks again Marcus for the updates.
“ stoked” a very Australian and NZ word. They are now using it here in Scotland. Great update team. Love every second.
Love it when I hear Australia in space news. Thank you MH
Thanks for the update!
16:38 "at some point in the past it has done 3 other flights [on] another booster." It would be 3 only if it was replaced for this booster's maiden flight. On the other hand, if it was replaced on this flight, that means 18 flights on other booster(s). So without knowing when the replacement occurred, no way to guess the flight distribution of the engine.
It could have flown some number of times on the booster that fell over after its 19th landing.
When you say the same size as the Tardis, are you thinking of the Tardis's exterior dimensions or its interior dimensions?
I'm glad you got the pun. 👍
yes.
It still blows my mind what SpaceX has done. Boosters approaching 20 flights, engines with over that. The reusability of the old shuttles was impressive but doing it with boosters has totally changed the game. Just imagine if they get Starship working how much they will be able to lift to orbit routinely.
If?
@@Ottee2he probably means if starship becomes capable enough to have the high cadence of flights that is planned for it, which is by no means an easy task.
It's also amazing that they've gotten all those falcons to return to base landing upright, but not only that, managed to get a Starship to launch, fall, flip and land too! It's mega cool! 👌👍
😎🇬🇧
@@thedarkknight1971 but not only that, managed to get a Starship to launch, fall, flip and land too! It's mega cool!
What will you call it when (if?) they actually begin catching boosters and Starships out of the air instead of using landing legs?
What is beyond "mega cool"?
Yeahhhh
we had perfect weather in socal to see the starlink 7-15 launch out of vandy on Thursday. Everything even went just right so that I managed to catch the booster's entry burn before it went behind the trees/hills. First time seeing with my own eyes was pretty exciting. Only "complaint" is the launch time didn't allow for the beautiful "jellyfish" effect.
Those evaporators remind me of the binary load lifters I used to work on!
Haha. Now if you could only speak Bocce you could get a job there.
Now if we could only speed up the harvest, warp space-time, or teleport me off this rock.
Spoken by this very droid, were the very first words of Star Wars: A New Hope "Did you hear that? They've shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure."
@@David-yo5ws a true optimist!

I always enjoy your upbeat assessment as always, thank you Marcus!
Marcus House videos are a must for starting my weekend off right! Thanks for keeping us updated on all things space and tech!
One could even say he's our weekly bread ... haha ... that's sarcasm... I am catholic though ...
Thank you for sharing, Marcus!
Marcus, I am so thankful to have your videos. So informative and entertaining. I look forward to it every Saturday morning. Thank you and thank you to your team.
Way to go... thanks for making my day with some great space news!
Another great video Marcus! Thank you for all your hard work. We all really appreciate it!
enjoy all your work!
Brilliant. Thanks Marcus
Wow.....!!! Being hosted here in NZealand by family....and hearing the comradery with Australia...i could surprise everyone with your AUSSIE achievements.....and in perfect Marcus House style...you have at least 4 new fans....proudly watching !
Good video. Thanks Marcus
Sweet, Marcus in the wee hours 😃
Superb production and content..! Love it..! Cheers mate.
Really enjoyed this video, somehow even more packed than usual, thanks to Marcus and the team
Good update.
Thanks yet again Marcus and Team. Dr Who?
With Marcus House every Saturday has a good morning!
Thanks Marcus.
Dude the content and content delivery is too legit love it man thanks
Amazing machines!
Great job.
Lovely vid!
I am a total SpaceX fanboy. Yet. I am super curious how New Glenn will do. Their approach is very different and I hope really they succeed and bring more dynamic to the space industry. To me the New Glenn is so exciting becasue we havent heard muchabout it until now.
Wow! Great video, Marcus...so much to get excited about and so much more to come!! G'day!
In gymnastics, you dismount; on the SpaceX spacecraft, you de-stack it, and you unmount the booster, I guess.
2:04 super interesting shot
Good morning, mate, coffee in hand!! You never let us down. With out a doubt, place site on space X for sure. Thank you, Marcus!!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Massachusetts USA 🇺🇸
Excellent stuff bro
Love your work Man 🚀
11:22 By design, the craft had landed using only the Inertial Guidance System during the final seconds. However, due to the primary guidance system being offline, the IGS was not calibrated accurately enough to match local surface velocity. The craft was dragging legs sideways and tripped over.
WOO! Great week I get double mentions this time around with all the wonderful Australian space news and the Deep Space Network. Great to hear stuff that has a personal connection in this kind of news. Keep up the great work Marcus and keep representing us down under! :D
crazy cool video clip...
Love the content, just had a thought that a special episode on the second stage de-orbiting might be interesting. It doesn’t get much coverage
Nice job
Marcus!!!
You - DA MAN!!
Many thanks
Shame it tipped over but still an incredible achievement and a pre cursor to better things. . Thank you MH +Team for this excellent upload
I watched the intuitive machines landing Thursday, biting my nails as it came down. I was really bummed about the lack of telemetry that they shared with us during the process. I guess I have just been spoiled by spacex openness.
Congrats to the team that pulled it off! We were all holding our breath at the end … I had my doubts and was thinking “smoking hole” on the surface.
Telemetry from the moon is difficult until you get communication satellites in lunar orbit .
@bog62282 not just SpaceX, JAXA's Slim and ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 showed a lot of great telemetry. Can't remember Chang'e, but it definitely is becoming the norm.
WOW! Great video. Thank you :)
Cheers Marcus 🍻
Great video
Thanks Marcus , outstanding work as usual . Keeping up with everything space ! Peace and Love brother !
Loved the tardis bit ! Team Dr Who !
It is, of course, only the same size as the TARDIS is on the outside...
@@jounikof course bigger on the inside ;-)
Those little disk feet seemed way too small. Probably would sink right into the moondust!
Why not use inflatable pad feet, kind of like the emergency rafts that are used on airplanes, when they have to make an emergency water landing?
That way the feet would be very compact until time for them to deploy. But then they’d be big and “raft-y” once needed.
Even if they were to land on shifty powder, the lander feet shouldn’t sink if it has big, inflatable feet.
Only three feet should be needed for balance, but 6 would be better in case some didn’t deploy right.
Alternatively, maybe some inflatable pontoons (long cylinders) would work better (like a catamaran boat’s stabilizer).
Or long (non-inflatable) ski-feet, which would be pretty easy to stow for flight, then deploy out in an X-shape. Just make the skis wide enough so they won’t sink into the dust.
Or, just assume it WILL probably tip over, and plan for that. Make it so that a tipped landing won’t damage it, and have a self-righting mechanism that will be able to re-orient it however it landed. And make sure it has enough power on-board to handle that maneuver, because it likely won’t get adequate solar panel power till it’s oriented right.
Hobbyists have been making self-righting Batttlebots for years, so it really shouldn’t be that difficult for moon lander engineers to do too.
All this effort to land stuff on the moon, yet they don’t seem to be putting much thought into the landing and prevention from tipping over.
Should be a no-brainer to work harder on this part, considering it is hard to find a big, completely flat, non-sloped, rocky (not shifting dust) place to land.
They need to have something that can land on a slope, or on a boulder field, or on shifty dust, or whatever. If they can do that, then finding a place to land should be a lot easier, because they won’t have to find a perfect spot.
Or maybe they can just bring their own landing pad with the mission? Deploy it first while main lander is still orbiting. Just a big flat pad that will un-roll or inflate on the surface, without a bunch of delicate electronics in it. Then the lander can come down and land on it, like a falcon 9 first stage lands on a drone ship.
Thanks for all the updates
The sheer size of all this "stuff" is gargantuan. And the apparent ease of movement is nothing short of the magician's wand. Bravo!!
Cheers From Space City Houston Texas!
hey hey!! would ya look at that!!! @ 23:56 I THINK that's a RASPBERRY PI on that satellite!!!! SWEET!!!!
I love how your starship model is smoking in the background
Thanks!
Thank you! 😍
I watched a 2-hour documentary on Tasmania yesterday. Marcus, I never knew how beautiful (and terrifying) your homeland could be! Congratulations to the Odysseus team for their 'successful' moonshot and Jaxa for their orbital endeavors! Thanks, Marcus and Team for another top notch update!
What were the terrifying bits about?
Tasmania is one of the most civilised and calm places on earth - we don’t have earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, massive floods or droughts. Occasionally bushfire season will cause some problems and devastate a community. Our temperature does not have cold or heat extremes (in general). No wars, riots or excessive crime. Dangerous animals? - A few snakes, but no reports of snake bites. Economic worries? - sure, but still good in global terms.
the birds, man! they're crazy. and ya'll got animals that GLOW UNDER UV LIGHT! @@MarcusHouse
@@rikvdk8962 Yep. That pretty much nailed it. Wonderful state. Rarely do I see any snakes. They tend to be more scared of us.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I do find it amazing that all these modern rocket companies building these landers can’t land them. But we were able to land using antique systems and chips. What seems like 100 years ago
Great video Marcus as always. Maybe Odysseus ...they should go SpaceX way. Use folding legs that will adjust for terrain differences....
An excellent (if obvious) suggestion! I can't understand why they use such small landing gear.
really enjoy your videos mate, I did love the mid week presentation riff too
"Ragnarocket" Lol 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Winnebago 1? I hope there's merchandising!

Regarding SpaceX looking for permission for 9 flights this year... I don't think it's as unrealistic as you think. Assuming flight 3 goes well, we're not going to be dealing with mishap-investigation delays, we know they've got plenty of hardware sitting around waiting to fly, and we know they *want* to fly them. So barring further mishaps, the only obstacle I see to having monthly launches for the rest of the year would be uncertainty around the durability of ground equipment
260k views in less than 24 hrs. Congrats, Marcus.
"Unstacked" or "Destacked". :-) As always, thank you!
I watched the Intuitive Machines landing live. :D
It would appear that everyone on the Moon has problems with final braking and with the shock absorbers to keep things upright.
Lucky that the probe turned to the less harmful side: for once Murphy Law took a few minutes' break.
Marcus in the House:) love the content bro:) good sh**!!!!
As large as a TARDIS on the outside or the inside?
*yes*
❤We are working hard to make Mars habitable Thank you, thank you for the news With all my love and respect to Marx House, we are the aliens
❤
Why the heck do they keep building landers tall and skinny when they always fall over? Just give them super-wide legs that fold out and have some dampening for little bounce, at this point the potential for a leg mechanical failure would be less than the probability of toppling over, given how often it has happened to landers built like this.
More moving parts to break, and more mass that could be used for payloads.
@@EMichaelBallEngineers are great at making moving parts, and making them so they don’t break, and doing all that while minimizing the mass and volume.
Even if it reduces the “usable” payload, clearly it is worth it. Because a tipped lander is not a super useful lander.
If they don’t want to design a lander that WILL land without tipping, then they need to make a lander that will work just fine even if it does tip over.
So 2 times = “always”. ok then. But the Japan lander was designed to flip - it just flipped wrongly. Sure this one fell over - but let’s see what the pictures and data reveal. Don’t forget it had to fit into a fairly skinny Falcon fairing at present. Different once Starship or even Vulcan available for such launches.
@longboardfella5306 Vulcan has the same fairing width as Falcon 9. You were probably thinking of Blue Origin’s New Glenn.
@@EMichaelBall Legs can be pretty light and simple, yet still fold out. Not much use having a few extra kgs of payload if the whole craft can't work properly because it's fallen over and maybe now it can't release the payload or the PV is obstructed.
Hey Marcus, do you plan any additional infos about landing profiles for the moon, in the next video? 2nd lander tipped over... so why no other route down the surface with less lateral velocitys?
Thanks for another great space news video! And congratulations to Intuitive Machines for landing Odysseus on the Moon! Wow, that was the story this week. It had ups and downs, sudden crises and last minute innovation saving the day. It kind of irritates me that they succeeded at an extremely difficult task, but all the regular media has to say is "tipped over on landing." Sure, but like JAXA before them, that didn't stop the mission from being a success.
4.5 launches this year would be great.
Love ya work ma aussie cousin
Imagine capturing and reusing those upper stages in space.
2:05 looks like it's going to warp into some dimension 😅
The pace of developments is getting pretty hectic... I love it.
Retroreflectors are already being used for navigation for Dragon approaching ISS.
So easy to tip over in 1/6 gravity. I think future landers might benefit from some upward facing cold gas thrusters firing at touchdown., just to add a little downwards push.
Or just don't make it so tall.
Funny enough I think a similar plan was supposed to be used for the Soviet manned lander. Solid rockets rather than cold gas thrusters, but the same idea of pushing it into the lunar surface
What about balloons on the sides??
Lower center of gravity and lower profile
The centre of gravity will be pretty low with only part filled tanks, Landers will for the foreseeable future have legs too.
Wow shoutout to you markus all facts and no deception while mainstream media is no facts all deception after seeing the way everyone was reacting to the mission falling to its side i figured it unfortunately failed however i thought ill let markus get me all the facts wow still seems to be a massive success even with the fall thanks again for another great weekly update really appreciate it!
Seeing these moonlanders struggling to land upright I am now more at ease with my early KSP landing attempts tumbeling around
A favorite point in my weekly routine.... Thanks Marcus and team.
20:15 you should have said this
"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
Bit of Dougie Adams! Love it.
@@roy5 the funniest thing (in austria) that I experienced was: I was in a course for unemployed people. I came to the elevator, and a woman from the same program was there. the elevator had the speciality, that it announced that it was going up and down, which level it was on, etc. was quite annoying.
I jokingly said, that I wanted to argue with the elevator that I want to go up, and it should at least one time argue back that down is better.
she started quoting marvin.
One of the corrective actions assessed after flight two RUD, is to change the LOX filtration in the booster tank.
After a brief google search, I still don’t know how propellants can “boil off”. If they are in a sealed pressure vessel, where can the substance go?
Kinda strange so little is made of the Intuitive Machines launch vehicle, Falcon 9. After reading the news this week, I was wondering who launched it. I guess SpaceX is doing so much at the moment, but still deserves to be celebrated. Well done to intuitively for sticking that landing, albeit tipped. Thanks Marcus, so great to have these weekly wrap ups - watching the future!
I reckon the second tower is a catching tower only !
the biggest legacy of spacex is to have show how to industrialize space flights…. moving the parts has they do in and out of the pads is a colossal progress
if they aren't launching from the second tower, and just plan on using it to test booster landings, then i can see them discarding two sections due to the extra height being unnecessary
@23:56 was that a Pico in there?
