Space X should be 100 percent transparent and should be subject to FOIA requests seeing as how they get "our" money!
May the 4th Starship be with you!
It's a grift
Thanks
What i don't get is how they are going to fit a docking port at the top of the ship with the header tank in its current place ?
Starship is so far away from docking that it won't be a problem!
You have answered your own question. The docking port will not be in the nose.
Think something akin to the shuttle’s docking port.
There are several solutions I can imagine and I bet more that Elon and his teams have already been working on.
@@eugenecbell😂
SpaceX has a design without a header tank in the nose to use for docking. So the solution is already in place.
Yes.. re-entry please. Total success
SpaceX need to orbit a Starship really soon, and I think that they will. A successful mission however loaded, will be soon !!!!
I wonder how far up starship by it self would go on all six engines.
That depends on where it starts. From the surface of earth not very far and it will return soon.
Yet, from Earth orbit, Mars or farther.
Calculations vary, but it would -technically- be able to get very close to 'single stage to orbit', but even if it made it, it could take no payload and wouldn't even have fuel for a de-orbit burn, making it useless as anything other than a 'We did it!' monument trapped in a slowly-decaying orbit. So basically, the answer is 'Almost to orbit on its own, and no use to anyone.'
@@sashashokolova3369 That might not be the case. If Starship can SSTO, it could potentially be refueled by a tanker that was launched with the full stack. Might be an interesting trick that they'll try sometime down the road just to demonstrate the capability.
Hi guys thanks for another awesome video David 🚀👌❤️🇬🇧👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Well made video! You are my fav space creator
You're the best!
It will be a success like the Hyperloop 🤭
I Really want to see Mechazilla Catch Either Stage.... (Or Both) 🙂
Me too! That would be fantastic:)
thats NEVER going to happen
I think chopsticks are just there to lift and hold the ship… It will NEVER catch the starship.
@@TropicalGardenGuysame speculation was about landing and reuse of the first stage. Where we are now? It won’t be easy tasks, but technically it should be possible. And yes, it was always the vision for chopstick - stack and catch on landing.
@@TropicalGardenGuyIf they can get Falcon 9s landing so accurately they will get Starship and boosters back between the chopsticks, engineers will get it done. 😊
Still needs static fire for Booster 11, stacking, and installation of FTS charges.
And then the FAA license.
Yes let's pretend that 70 year old technology that was perfect last millenium is difficult to get right🤣
Incrível
A wise man also said…. The sun, the moon, and the stars would’ve been gone long ago if humans could’ve got their hands on them.
Save it for the 4th of July. 😂
I think SpaceX is looking at May the 4th, but that's a Saturday. So, we'll see. Personally I think the regulatory stuff will push it to June.
@@saferocket5279 that went over your head lol. its an expensive fireworks display.
@@Supraboyes Yeah, I got it. Just didn't want it.
A wise man once said, ‘until we reach the stars we will not be free’. With this I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire
Thanks for the ift4 update. Does anybody know the actual reason why ift 3 failed?
Gravity!
There were a couple things SpaceX has to look into from ift3. The biggest issues would come from the booster’s “Rapid unscheduled disassembly” and the ship’s loss of attitude control which in turn was a main factor of its eventual breakup during re-entry. There were other problems like heat tiles falling off during re-entry, failure to re ignite the raptor engines in orbit, and there might have been a problem with the payload door although spaceX stated it was a success. I have to say, although there were failures I wouldn’t call the launch a fail, they still went farther then both previous ifts and actually got the ship within a few thousand meters/sec of orbital velocity which basically cemented starship with another record of largest rocket to ever reach orbit. As for ift4 I can’t recall if he ever restated his projections for a date but I highly doubt it will happen within a month due to FAA approval process and their investigation in the prior mentioned failure points.
I may be wrong here but from what I got out of it was, stage 1 basically ran out of fuel and a lot of tiles came off stage 2 and it could not regain control and burned up.
this is awesome shame this rocket coming to an end but the future is coming with great advancements
Why is this rocket coming to an end?
@@BijanStewart It's not.
May it be a success!
Sure wish one of those oil rigs of long ago had a Mechazilla chopstick to attempt capture at sea. I would strongly urge a pair of hybrid chopstick and extended giant Squid like pincer arms for reaching out and pulling in the rockets for immediate capture.
lol, cant believe you buy into this silly hype
That would be cool!
Where the devil is 10 forward?
Something I always wondered is can space x use nuclear power like we use for aircraft carriers and subs for a rocket?
😳
Some say it's possible but they don't allowed to test it in land, It should be in space far far away on earth
NASA actually had a nuclear rocket program going there for a while back in the 70s. The main issue with nuclear that I have read was that the thrust of the engine would be too weak to use in atmosphere, but could be a good engine for long duration trips and be more efficient. Then again I may be wrong.
Good luck with those tiles , dr muxrat
Months away, more than 1.0 months.
Seems like the static fires mess things up
When you remove the flow through cone. You can build it faster. But have you accounted for the no longer preheat of fuel feed to the turbo pumps. Good luck buddy you can’t help yourself can you. 33 engines compacted together with no cone cooling. The center of the gimbal engines will melt down. Better buy more 3d machines to continue the current design.
want starship to succeed on the next flight? put a satellite on board, they have yet to lose a falcon 9 in space that was carrying a satellite, just a suggestion.
Let's face it. starship have no chance to survive re-entry. not yet anyway.
Will this launch be a success? of course. every ift gave tone of of data, every next test fixed stuff from last test. this methode with mass produced system like starship is cheapest and fastest. all test togethor cost sacex less than just adaptation test rig in stennis space center for SLS.
but we should NOT expect "full success" i ift4. Simply there is still not enough data on reentry profile.
lets face it, its nothing but a joke
@@Supraboyes yes. It's a joke out of competition
What kind of success? 2 starships on Mars in 2022 as promised or just not blowing up? Starship is a grift.A vehicle with no business except a moon mission for Nasa( money already spent) and starlink (doesn't make money)
more waste of money
Its Not your money!
@@marvinpostadan3484 if he is a US taxpayer it is. SpaceX got 2.9 billion in taxpayer money for a ride to the moon and NASA has already had to push back the mission because SpaceX is behind. They need 14 unqualified successful flights before being ready for NASA.
Putting a lot junk in the ocean and atmosphere.
Such innovations gave you such things as internet connectivity which today u use to type comments like this.
Spacex is now testing their rockets but in the future they will land itslef back on earth. But Nasa doesnt do that.They dont even try. Every company except for spacex leaves their rocket parts in the ocean and in orbit creating space junk. Starship can actually help to clean space junk. The boosters can also be taken out of the ocean. So no. Not a lot of junk in the ocean. Coming back to the atmosphere, Spacex uses liquid oxygen and methane. This fuel doesnt harm the atmosphere almost at all compared to other rockets that use RP 1 - their fuel is kerosene wich is doing much more harm so I ask you based on the facts I told now to stop hating on spacex. Because they are trying to save us and the planet.
So does all other countries dumping raw sewage, plastic products, the list is endless, some of the human race has already started cleaning up their own rubbish but what falls from spacecraft is nothing compared as most materials are non toxic.
Now that's a classic lowbrow comment. I think you're in the wrong channel. 😂
SpaceX Starship is clean, green, 100% reusable. NASA’s SLS dumps hundreds of tons of carcinogenic solid exhaust into our atmosphere and toxic boosters into our oceans.
Sorry Elon it won’t be a success. That is if you count on launch and safe landing?🛬 your design sucks! Mark this post. I love a great fire works show.
Just a reminder, it took seven prototypes before they successfully landed a Falcon. Now they are landing two a week.
I wouldn’t say the design sucks, it has a lot of potential with fine and even possibly major tuning. I do think it’s possible for the starship to succeed in its launch and landing endeavors but I have my doubts on mars and moon, but then again we are expecting both a new raptor version and starship and super heavy version to come out hopefully soon.
Agree!
@@dstarling61 how many saturn fives failed.
@@Supraboyes They all failed to the same degree that the third Starship launch failed. The things that didn't work were things that Saturn never even tried to do.
