      I wonder how long it'll be before there's another week without any orbital launches. I wonder how long before we start thinking of the last week without orbital launches the same way with think of the last week without commercial jet flights connecting the world.

      It'll be a while before the rest of the world has a reliable launch per week without the US, but it's not that far off.

    matt, your edition skills are so good, that i couldn't believe when i saw that epic CGI scene of the starship landing on the water, i am currently amazed and i think hollywood would hire you on the spot. I am currently crying because of how good that editing was and how amazing and epic and incredible it was, there isn't any better way of showing the starship landing on the water, and if there is another way of showing it, it probably is because it was made by you and your amazing editing skills, which are indistinguishable from reality, because of how good they are.

    I was stunned when I saw the interior of the StarLiner. Reminiscent of Apollo, all the switches and such. Looks like a 707 cockpit! Compare that to Crew Dragon, just a touchscreen for each occupant, redundancy built in I'm sure, as all panels are probably the same, depending on who's operating it is all. Just a complete paradigm shift is all. Boeing - OLD SCHOOL. SpaceX - THE FUTURE!

  • @JimmyRussell-zd5qo

    I just noticed something. Their about to build a 41 engine first stage.
    The bottom of the launch tower takes the most heat,then has to cool before catching the top stage. Allow me to make suggestion. The metal of the launch tower needs to be cooled before the 41 engine first stage is launched and captured.
    If not it will be weakened.
    Look people the Rapters are glowing orange but still contain one hell of an explosion inside.thats impressive.

    Hopefully all the tile attachments, removals, and reattachedments doesn't compromise the 3mm thick integral SS that all the pins are welded to. Just watching those dudes drill off the tiles makes me worry about their abilities to stop their drills before they go to deep. 18k timrs three pins is 48,000 drilling actions without once going too far.

  • @wbwarren57
    @wbwarren57 3 месяца назад +1

    How much heavier are the new tiles and a bladed material than the old heat shield? Since the new tiles are twice as strong as the old tiles, I have to believe that they’re at least a pound heavier. Also, the blade of material is going to have some mass let’s say half a pound. So, let’s estimate that the new heat shield will weigh one and a half pounds times 18,000 or 27,000 extra pounds. That’s about 13 1/2 tons. Of deadweight that reduces starships payload to orbit. The ablative material on the Apollo capsule which was 13 feet in diameter which had a surface area on the bottom of about 550 feet weighed 3000 pounds. so the average per square foot weight of that ablative material was 5 to 6 pounds. Now they are probably not gonna put nearly as much oblated material on the starship as they did on the Apollo capsule since it’s only a back up, but I think we can safely say that it got away something and a half pound estimate per, each of the 18,000 tiles currently on the starship is not a bad estimate.

    • @avgjoe5969
      @avgjoe5969 3 месяца назад

      I believe the weight of a single tile is 0.3 to 1.0kg (yeah, that's still vague). So, 18 tons on the outside. The improved tile is maybe 30% heavier, so maybe 5-8 tons of additional weight with the ablative material thrown in. The Version 2 (due to launch on 6th or 7th (Starship 32 was the last V1) has 100t cargo capacity... but V3 has 200t cargo capacity (with 35 engines rated at more than 269t and about 25% more fuel.
      I wouldn't sweat the weight of the new heat shielding.

    • @dphuntsman
      @dphuntsman 3 месяца назад

      The simple answer is, “I don’t know, but….”. Methinks Elon’s goal is….get to total reusability first- whatever it takes, including a fully reusable heat shield, knowing Starship has unprecedented capability at the moment- AND, that upgraded Starship are already in work, anyway. Once know what an ironclad heat shield looks like, can start figuring out what it takes to get ‘efficient’ on later models. Remember, the Falcon 9 that we know now, took over 50 flights to actually get to. - Dave Huntsman

      Hard to say anymore. Florida has EPA issues (all over again). Construction design Should be about done now, but Elon might opt to improve it again... so...
      The tower will take only 3-4 months to raise, but not sure if OLM and deluge plates are being installed.

    • @tech5298
      @tech5298 3 месяца назад

      I’m guessing it’ll be two sections taller, with a deluge trough, and more-robust fixtures. Also, regarding the launch of number five, I can’t see them take a huge risk of damaging tower one if somethinggoes awry. I think they’re going to land that thing in the ocean right next to it at least two more times before they risk it near the tower, but that’s just my guess.
