It's been 9 years since SpaceX’s first orbital launch and landing of Falcon 9. No one else has been able to duplicate it in almost a decade. That shows just how difficult this stuff is.
@@colonbina1the flexible pinhead not only allows for better alignment when catching the ship but it also allows it to hold more weight isn't just on one part of the circle.
@@clavo3352 No need to carry legs everywhere you go. Just put Launch and Catch facilities at every destinations just like building airports. It's even much cheaper when compare to building a very small airport.
Good Morning, Kev. The holes make perfect sense to catch Starship. If arms come out. That would give it more latitude in positioning Starship on the arms when landing. I like it. I think if they have to. They could put doors covers with heat tile to protect the ship that would be hydraulically or electrically opened and closed. I pretty sure they already have a plan. It will be fun to watch. I don't know if they will try to catch Starship on flight 8 or not. The importance of catching the ship will be when they are good and ready. BO's launch? Who knows? It's to a point where Blue Origin is no longer on my radar. It's like Blue Who again. ULA will never be able to compete with SpaceX. Why? There rockets are not reusable. And may never be. China is the only one we need to keep an eye on. Great Episode, Kev. Keep doing what you are doing. 2025 will be an exciting year not only for SpaceX, but for America all the way around. And You will be the on reporting on it, Kev. And I be watching. Have a Great Day my Friend.
As innovative as it is to reuse rockets, like what Musk is doing at SpaceX, it is impractical for a rocket to return to its point of origin to land. This Starship should have landing legs. The whole point of any aircraft or spacecraft is to go from point A to point B. If the destination doesn't have “capture” facilities, you are out of luck. A spaceship should be capable of landing anywhere. I’m sure that’s the ultimate goal, so baby steps? JustSaying
IMHO: they need to discard the catch system all together for landing; it presents too much of a risk. It's a great system for stacking, but NOT for landing. Instead SpaceX needs to develop a landing system that utilizes landing legs on both the booster and starship, they can pick and choose where to land, and the risk threshold is far less.
Landing legs reduce payload capacity. Also why would they make two different systems for stacking and landing when one works just fine? Catching will be best once they master it.
First 4 attempts to land starship failed, 1st attempt to catch booster succeeded. So which method is safer? Actually, no determination can be made either way with such a small data set. How bout we let it play out before spouting meaningless opinions.
@kevin can I encourage you to keep to the topic of your videos... you've got some good content, but you're ruining your channel by using a catchy headline and then throwing in loads of other content. If you want to do a daily "space" video then call it just that :)
It's nice to know in regards to HOLES 4pts lifter top alignment socket tht's visible. Thank forwarded to Chrome Kiwi's innovation and skills. As always, Thank U, Kev🌟⚗️✨️ ~kat
@colonbina1 I am over here in SFO on vaca, joining my dysfunctioned family 😁🤣 I may visit Chinatown II. They're our neighbor not far away fr home. I'll put my best Kung-Fu behavior 😆 jst kidding. Take care, Kev 🌟💜✨️ catchalattah 🙌

Exactly
think if new glenn destroye in their firts attempt landing

2025 has a lot of new systems to be up like new glen and neutron
Thanks for the report, Kevin.
Thanks for your comment. Keep following and discussing on our channel☺️
Thank you Elon Musk and Team SpaceX!
hello great SPACEX, how are you doing?
Never been better!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Look at the numbers. How many success versus failures.
I want the Starship catch to be successful.
Good luck SpaceX team.
Booster can do that, I think we can have success soon
Space travel is not as simple as cut and paste.
Given the quality of SpaceX organisation - I doubt that China can catch Space X's velocity.
Yes, SpaceX is at the forefront of innovation.
Can grid fins also be landing legs?

Great comment. Have a nice day ☺️
'8' Is GREAT ! ;)
👍👍👍
Looks like Landspace plans for a Falcon Super Heavy reusable version with 5 core 'first' stage.
Catch on Ship 8

The launch and capture facilities will be everywhere just like airports of planes.
Understand legs would not be feasible for massive rockets.
go kevin
If not Ship 8, then Ship 9
How bizarre that it's just bots commenting on other bots commenting

Yes, let's see what they decide.
Landing legs reduce payload capacity. Also why would they make two different systems for stacking and landing when one works just fine? Catching will be best once they master it.
First 4 attempts to land starship failed, 1st attempt to catch booster succeeded.
So which method is safer?

catching is much safer, more reliable and more efficient
ship catch flight 9 at earliest.
Why is there no catch test using a crane as it was evoke before fly 5?
There were more important tests to do first.
Space X has changed the game forever. You need reusability and low cost payload ratio...
Agree
Those old IPhones won’t hold much 😂
Haha, It's really like an iPhone
Chop stick catch in earth, Rocket Gear Leg Lander in mars, still sea Lander return module open in nesesary🎉

*will not fly this year*
What are you talking about?
well done genius
Excited to see ‘changes’ at base from viewing area across from base. Arrive in area tomorrow.❤️🔥
Plans made to see launch! Might see two.😅🔥🚀🔥🚀🥢
