Strap in my friends because we're about to blast off into a week packed with more terrific scenes than you would believe, every single one amazing in their own way. SpaceX alone has been off the charts in so many ways with some incredible firsts right here. Then, where on Earth did this concept come from? This is SpaceX's Massive New Challenge! But how will they do this with Starship? As is now the norm, there is marvellous engineering happening by the day. Almost impossible to keep track of it all, but as always, we blend it all together for you into a smooth digestible paste and serve it right up every weekend.

I LOVE MY SMOOTH DIGESTIBLE PASTE!!! It may have a bit of a metallic aftertaste, but that all part of the fun!!! lol :)
Marcus, my VPN just auto renewed...I want SurfShark but cannot undo the renewal...sorry.
I only watch your videos now for these updates and they are great! What about it seems to have just become super clickbaity but you never do which I respect a lot
I agree!🎉
Who still watches "What about it"?
Very agree! ❤ from🇪🇪! But let's all agree the logic of content-sorting of the YT overlords, or rather the emrgent algorithm, is the root cause of clickbaitiness. It's like commenting on police officers enforcing bad law.
RUclips is a business! Do you whine on about sneaker marketing? Drink companies? Car companies? And go around the internet badmouthing them? Smacks of cancel culture to me! It's not as if English is even his 1st language! 🤷🏻♀️
Pretty much everyone in the space community is doing good work, but nobody can appeal to everyone. I agree that Marcus is terrific!
The first thing I do on Saturday morning is watch these videos. Thanks for the update Marcus!
Same! Love it... I hear bits and pieces of what's been going on during the week obviously, but Marcus helps me keep up with all of it!
Same here, I look forward to the weekends because of this channel.
Great to watch during Sunday breakfast or lunch.
Smooth Digestible Paste?
Same here. i await these episodes with so much eagerness!
Great video .. its easy to forget just how much work goes on behind the scenes .. Thank You MH + Team for your continuing hard work
Thank you Rob!
Two videos I watch all the time and can fall asleep too, 24/7. Marcus House and pitch meetings.
Ohhhhhhhhh the creativity and editing by Marcus is tight!
Haha. Thanks mate. Love that channel.
Not a problem, barely an inconvenience
Wow wow wow
Wow
Marcus, wife and I just got back to South Padre Island. Staying a month, hoping to see #3!!! Fingers crossed!!! I'll be sure to send you some pictures.
Have an amazing time.
The picture of you holding the light sabre was great!!🤣
Marcus, You and the team are amazing! From the quality and consistency i can tell you have good people up and down your organization making this happen. I catch myself intentionally passing any space news during the week because i know it will be summed up perfectly Saturday morning (in New York). Keep up the great work!
THANK YOU SO MUCH MARCUS!!! You are my FAVORITE 'Rocket Update' Channel BY A LONG SHOT!!! Not only do you talk about the launches, but you give a nice overview of the launch broadcast AND explain the different parts of it. Another channel I watched covered the RocketLab launch, but didn't go into detail about what was being launched But you cover the info on the re-use status of the parts, give them props on the dual stage streams and trajectory info, heck.. you even mentioned that amazing BATTERY SWAP AND DROP!!!! lol
I HONESTLY get EXCITED about all this amazing progress whemn I watch you videos... no lie!!! Makes me sad that I never pursued being a part of the space industry.... I would love to even just work at the Boca Chica Gateway sweeping floor - just to be a part of something SO IMPORTANT AND COOL!!!! But I get to have a little bit of that feeling by watching your coverage of it all, and when I think about you being so lucky enough top have a successful channel covering it all :) It must be hard work, but if you love it enough it's not work at all - and you GENUINELY seem to LOVE IT!!!!
THANK YOU for bringing the future down to Earth and into my mind, Marcus!!!! lol :) See ya next week!!!! ✌
The primary reason for adding doors to the Megabays is for welding purposes. They use a shielding gas, usually an argon-CO2 blend, to protect the arc weld quality. Any wind blows it away from the surfaces and welding wire.
It's amazing to hear the landing counts for each individual rocket keep going up!!!!!! Also that the only 1 lost in a few years now, wasn't a failed landing, rather rough seas toppled it over!!!
Expect them to loose a few Starship boosters even after its operational. Just part of the learning curve. On the Falcon and Falcon Heavy boosters they have alot of experience now and know where problems are likely to pop up on each flight and how to deal with them. One thing l wish SpaceX would do if they aren't is to de-orbit the second stages after use simply to reduce the amount of discarded equipment in orbit. Preferably over into an area of the ocean that sees little shipping or maritime activity.
@@mpetersen6 Depending on the orbital requirements of a given mission, the second stage is either quickly deorbited, or placed into an orbit that will naturally decay over time.
@@mpetersen6 oh yeah starship is a different beast all together, and yeah loosing them is expected! I mean only falcon 9 and falcon heavy! And that's kinda why it's is some amazing, it only takes 1 small problem to start a RUD!!! So yeah even F9 as routine as landings are, can still happen!!!
Yeah they need to work on bringing back 2nd stages as well! The fairing halves are a start I guess??
@@jam2190Falcon had stopped getting major upgrades so no 2nd stage recovery ever. All on Starship
@@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882 Indeed, that was one of the drivers behind Starship... the acknowledgement that they'd reached the end of what could be done with the Falcon platform, and that 100% reusability just wasn't possibly with that hardware. Since then, they've done miracles with the ever-increasing flight cadence, but they're not doing anything new with it...
While l have some personal doubts about Musk and SpaceX's focus on Mars l have to admire their focus and determination. I suspect once the Starship launch vehicle becomes operational certain aspects or orbital industry to expand. One is private orbital stations providing various services. Including vehicle fueling followed by orbital hotels likely based on inflatable modules on the TransHab/Bigelow model. It won't happen overnight but in a few years it is a possibility.
Yeah there is a lot going on but I’m glad I have you to watch for all the most important space related items ! You are the best!
The door come in handy during a hurricane (an event which we on the Gulf get to experience from June 01 through November 30).
I freakin love the speed up with the ships😂 just watching these giant ships moving around like a chess piece 🤙 love it!
WOW! What an Action-Packed video!
Thank you Marcus, and your team.
When Starship becomes as Reliable as the Falcon 9, the ENTIRE space industry will be changed forever!
Never mind about the space industry. The whole human race will be changed forever!
@@goldenbear8696 Quite right. If we take this base to it's extent, every day changes the Human race forever.
Hey hey it's Marcus
No... not even close... It's:
"Hey hey Marcus House with you here..." while doing a little jiggle
I remember when he used jiggle a lot but sadly as his audience grew he grew cocky and decided he didn't care about us original subscribers anymore and kept reducing the jiggle. Now it's hardly even there
Wonderful production MH+Team. The arrows to quickly focus attention are a big +++.
The LEO vs stationary is a masterpiece helping us visialize this fantastic concept and accomplishment! I'm anxious to see the common use of the starlink for cell phones. Your work is really tops, thanks.
They need to stuff a copy of that LEO vs GSO animation into all these ads from companies with only GSO birds.
Marcus House makes Saturday mornings great again! Always look forward to these videos.
It would be cool to see a railway from the build to the launch site and the chopsticks just pick them up off the carriages
Either that or a dedicated road parallel to Hwy 4 to run the SPMTs on.
I'm most eager to see how Starship holds up to reentry because I suspect that will be the most critical element in most Starship missions, lunar landers and orbital fuel depot excepted.
Marcus Day again! A breathless journey through everything space. No fluff, no messing around, just pure content! Another great job!
yes, i really needed to know that spacex were fitting doors to the bays
Hey hey it's Marcus House's digestible space paste!
Needs some Doritos to go with.
Makes a nice sandwich with a few rocket.leaves (the launchpad).
Does it come in a tube or in a tub?
Corrosion is a huge issue in this area. Having parked our RV at Isla Blanca 3 years in a row for several weeks at a time I can confirm that corrosion begins on all unprotected surfaces very quickly. We spray our bikes and RV frame with anti-corrosion spray every time we pull in there. I always wonder how much corrosion SpaceX hardware accumulates. We have driven through Boca Chica several times and it seems everything has some degree of rust. Keep up the great work, Marcus!
Stainless steel can actually corrode, but it takes a lot of time and usually immersion, neither of which seems probable for the rockets, but may be probable for the production facilities. The other probability is that welds will rust given that they often have mixed metals in them along with the extreme heat necessary to weld Stainless steel. If they are a problem, it should show up in pictures from the rocket garden.
Rocket Paste to go along with the Space Jam! YUM❗
Lovely smooth digestible paste!
Thank you for putting a lot of work in just a weeks time to keep us updated. 🙏
All cranes must be periodically inspected and recertified.
Kudos to you Marcus, for saying "smooth, digestable paste" instead of scaring everyone by calling it "Vegamite. Good on ya, bloke.
Love me some Vegemite.
To any person not exposed to vegemite from birth, it tastes like sawdust mixed with uncooked peanuts. Of course, most people only like the brand of peanut butter they were raised on. I was in my 40's before I got over my addiction to Peter Pan peanut butter. Now, I'll eat almost any variety that doesn't have too much sugar in it, though I'm not sure there is anything that would make me eat vegemite, no matter how hungry I was...and I've tried. I finally threw out the one jar of vegemite I had after it survived three moves. It was growing mold, which proves that something will eat it.
Thanks for the update Marcus, I always look forward to your posts. I watch all space updates from most YT space creators and your channel is way up there. Thanks mate.
I saw some cool footage somewhere else showing a pod of dolphins following the Rocket Lab recovery vessel. Makes me wonder what they thought of the booster splashing down, and the humans coming along to fish it out...
Another information masterpiece for the space community!! Keep the awesome work up my friend!!
Those pics from inside the Megabay are phenomenal!!!
Marcus house and team players guys just great putting together info for public that can learn from ty
Once again a beautiful recap of this weeks space activities, Thank you
These waits between Starship launches are torture.
The test itself certainly aren't, but the whole month of doing 'nothing' (& unexpected removal of S28 engines) certainly is
I am looking forward to a Starship making Orbit and of course, seeing the booster land. Let alone being caught with the tower arms, that is going to blow everyone's mind! Oh and lets hope those tiles stay attached! 😉
Hi from Berlin and thank you for all of your work!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
So much to see and understand.. wow this is a fun time for us space nerds to be alive.
The more competition the better in this industry. The more companies trying to achive the goal of getting to the moon ect will mean a faster rate of development which is what we need right now!
Totally!
Not necessarily. Private companies are driven by funding and profit. Spreading out the resources could actually slow down progress. The last, first and only time people went to the moon was a combined effort by loads of companies massively funded with one goal in sight. Competition lowers prices, it doesn’t necessarily boost progress.
@angrydoggy9170 billions wasted and nothing delivered: the Boeing motto.
@@angrydoggy9170I agree with you to a certain extent. It's all about choosing the right companies/people/projects and not just throwing money at anyone and everyone that has the same idea with a slightly different flavor. While developing new technology or doing something new is definitely hard, picking the wheat from the chaff can be just as hard.
Yes! And here we have SpaceX doesn't really even hide anything and doesn't patent anything. Other companies are starting to take on the same business model of just charge full speed ahead, daring others to try to keep up. This era will go down in history as the great push to intra system transportation. Seeing as each company has a slightly different method of building, fuel types, etc., the competition is rooted in the healthy realm of profit and accomplishments, rather than trade secrets and lawsuits (although there are a few lawsuits, most by Bozo.)
Thanks for another wonderful space news paste - I mean, video!
Starlab is a heck of a concept. Just imagine, pop up space stations deployed when needed. That's rather amazing, and a fundamental change in how we use space. If they could link them together into bigger structures the possibilities would be endless... But your question about the Big Mouth is a very good one. Just how the heck could something that big get out of Starship at all? The problem with installing a huge door (I think) is that it introduces new weaknesses into the structure that could fail under the stress of liftoff.
Hooray for SLIM! Talk about a saga... That little lander has been up, then down, then metaphorically up again. I'm glad they got it to charge after all and got some science done! It would be great if it did somehow survive the Lunar night, but even if it doesn't the mission has still been a success for JAXA.
I am really hoping the next starship launch will feature successful separation of the booster plus starship successfully reaching orbit!
Thank you so much for your vids! They're a delight to watch while calmly having breakfast and I watch every single one!
As for IFT 3- I'm just hoping for any progress over IFT 2. I don't care how small, just hope they can progress
So much going on, thanks so much Marcus House team!
Great work guys, thanks
ULA didn't stop selling Atlas V because of Vulcan, they stopped selling it because they couldn't get the engines from Russia anymore. Yes Vulcan was developed to replace it, but they would absolutely still be offering it right now if they could (probably for quite a high cost).
Great updates, Marcus, no filler love your channel
@Marcushouse You're still the champion of best informing us about the space industry.
Thx for bringing us up-to-date. Been a great week in space.
Great work Marcus and team. Thankyou 🙂
Thanks Marcus and company!
IFT 3 for me would be booster fly back and ship 28 to reach its sea splash down. That would be job done.
Doors for high winds sound like a good idea. What is SpaceX plans for hurricane force winds and the water surge that accompanies a hurricane?
Having survived 4 hurricanes on the Gulf Coast of Texas, doors seem the least of their problems. Hanging a 300+ meter sail up in winds that vary from 75 up to 150+ mph looks extremely difficult and hazardous. So far, Boca Chica hasn't experienced anything like even the low end of that range, so I worry about that possibility. The foundations seem insufficient to such challenges and I've seen no guy wires that would make up for the insufficiencies of foundations.
Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative and timely video. Great job. Keep it up.
Thank you for the space news pablum, Marcus! You have lots of happy space babies.
Sweet opening graphics!! Thanks for the quality Marcus!
So happy SLIM woke up!
Starlink and SpaceX in general are incredible. Posting this on a Starlink connection from rural Montana!
I don't understand why they don't use the thrusters to try and move slim.
If it's going to be a loss anyway might as well try.
Because it's pointless. There's no "might as well try", because it's completely obvious to them that it can't possibly work. It's like saying "pick up a car with your little finger"... reaction-control thrusters just don't have the power to lift something that size...
Incredible how much great info you crammed into this video! Completely awesome!
Glad you liked it!
It will be fun watching these launch attempts. Hopefully spacex can get an increased cadence in the next few years.
They need to boost ISS with Cygnus. There should be tons of excess propellant since Falcon 9 out performs Atlas by a huge margin.
Marcus, Could ship 26 be destined as an orbital fuel depot? If it's not going to come back through the atmosphere, there wouldn't be a need for tiles or flaps. What do you think?
Amazed by this space fan community. So many channels and folks seeming to have made decent business models out of observing and documenting space tech. Any details on the size of this market and community, how much of it is hobbyists and how much viable businesses?
Is actually a good question, we are trying to figure that out ourselves and we are in the thick of it.
I too appreciate your smooth and easily digestible content Marcus
Omg they are building the Two towers!? Getting LOTR vibes 😁
I have come back yet again for my weekly paste. Thanks for the laugh, I loved that one!
Thank you Marcus. This was an exciting week.
Great post-taekwondo viewing as always Marcus. Greetings from Dublin Ireland.
Hey! Hey! Marcus, yet another week gone by and I can't wait... Marcus, what scientific projects are the Russians doing in their section of the ISS? We hear a lot about others' but not about/from them...
Aplausos desde Ayacucho, cerca de Tandil, Argentina
I'm thinking tower two will go in the suborbital section. Probably where pad A was.
I'm always interested about how much fuel they use, do they fill all those tanks and empty them for every launch? its massive amounts of fuels and would love you to do something about the the process of getting incredible amounts of fuel and how much they actually need for every starship launch.
That information is buried in the many posts from MH, WAI, and others. A full flight of the Heavy and Starship requires many hundreds of tons of both methane and LOX.
Marcus is so Awesomely Animated. 👍
Great stuff
Most looking forward to: a graceful slow-down on Hawaiian waters. And then splashing into the abyss. (it'll likely float - caught myself there!)
It would be great if the next test flight does something unusual, like perform the entire flight test profile.
Nice work as always, Marcus & team!!!
I wonder if the Starl labs could be used like a lifeboat in orbit around the moon for future missions
Marcus your channel and its presentation is mind blowing, thanks for all your hard work, wow!❤
You provide the absolute best space content!
You've earned your /like as per usual. Thanks for the great video, we definitely appreciate you work. :)
Those photos DO look like works of art....I'd put it my wall for sure!!!
Thanks for not getting click-baity. All the other channels are getting that way and that’s why I’ve abandoned them. I’d rather get a really good video less often than filler! Keep up the good work!
Thoroughly enjoyable, wonderfully informative. Thanks so much, Marcus!
Glad you enjoyed it!
3 starships almost ready to go so hopefully we see over 5 starships fly this year and more important a successful landing and reuse.
Anyone wondering why they building a second tower ? . I think it's because they want a separate landing tower to so that the launch tower will not risk damage during future landing attempts.
The 2nd Texas tower is also being built to allow them to make upgrades to tower 1 for larger Starship stacks.
Catch-only tower only exist in fans imagination. Increased cadence will also come into play later for Artemis
But what's up with the Starship activity in Florida then when they transport the tower sections to Boca Chica? SpaceX also hasn't completed neither the orbital launch mount nor the tower in Florida and they also didn't build ANY high bays there. It will take years until SpaceX can restart Starship activities and build Starships in Florida let alone launch Starship vehicles from there. Thanks again for this nice summary video though!
Yes, I believe they are trying to ensure everything works at Boca before they will fully replicate it. As soon as IFT1 dug a huge hole in the ground, it was clear that they needed to pause at Florida until they had the design nailed better. I have no doubt that once they finalise a good design that does what they want, the Florida site will start absolutely roaring.
@@MarcusHouse Thanks for the comment Marcus. I hope you are right!
@@jonny3003 You are most welcome. If IFT 3 makes it to orbit, again with no pad damage, I think they will have the confidence to kick it back off.
i want to see booster returning back to earth
It seasm like a wast to send up a habital module that is mostly air. In stead of sending up something that could be assebled in space.
You can always put stuff inside it if weight allows
@@alextaylor9746 the issue is that those stuf would not be able to auto depoy
@@matsv201So better deploy it all on Earth so any problems can be easily fixed then?
Thank you for the Space Paste, Marcus.
im looking forward to the mishap report for flight 3
We didn't even get the documents of IF-1 mishap report
Hi Marcus
Thanks mate.
Greetings from the south african bushveld.
Starship's cargo door is going to have to have a lot bigger circumference if it is going to deliver the Starlab space station to orbit.
Yes, the ship that's launching Starlab won't be the same variant as the one launching Starlink
@@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882 For now, at least. Presumably once they have a version with a large door available, they'll abandon the "pez dispenser"... it seems to just be a short term solution to get Starlink launches going while they figure out how to do larger doors.
I'm wondering if they'll skip hot-staging with IFT-3, to give Booster10 a better chance of landing while they figure out a good way to deal with propellant flow issues. I'm also wondering if a mass simulator will be added to Ship28 to eliminate the need to vent excess O2 prior to orbit insertion, since it has a payload door. I can't wait to see what happens.
Hot staging didn't go anywhere
@@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882 Great. So they must have a solution for the propellant fluid slam situation that seems to have caused Booster8 to explode when it tried to start its boost-back burn.
@@victorkrawchuk9141Yes, and it's Booster 9
@@victorkrawchuk9141 Of course. That's relatively easy to work around, using the data they'll have gathered from the Booster 8 failure. It might not be an _optimal_ workaround (long term, they'll fix it in future hardware), but they can certainly tweak the launch profile to avoid problems... have the booster keep burning a little harder, or take a bit longer re-lighting all the engines, whatever fits the failure scenario.
awesome shots the future is coming
Something I think would be cool is a timestamp to the bit where you talk specifically about whatever the thumbnail/title is about.
That Starship makes it to Orbit, and both vehicles survive.
SDP! Smooth Digestible Paste-my favorite!
Thanks!
Hey hey, Marcus! With all the talk about Gateway Tower 2's parts coming from Roberts, one thing I'm curious about is why none of you guys (you, NSF, WAI, Scott) aren't talking about the likelihood that a section or two more will be needed. It would be strange for Space X to build an technically upgraded version of Tower 1 that is the same height considering Elon stated that Starship V3 will be taller. If both towers are of current Tower 1 height, they'd have to upgrade both towers to work with V3 stacks. I'd bet we'll see at least 2 more tower sections built for Gateway Tower 2. What do you think?
There's no additional sections. Current tower height are sufficient for V3, and both existing towers and new one have the same height
