    It is that time again my friends. We are watching everything rapidly evolve as we begin ticking off everything needed for Starship Flight Test 5 and as you would expect, it has been absolutely action packed. SpaceX Finally Unveils New Starship Flight Views, and Upgrades Explained in here around the new flame trench and potential 35 engine booster. We have Falcon 9 action, and also movement from Blue Origin. Even Firefly were back kicking one off late in the day, and what on Earth happened here? Indeed, some bizarre scenes, but also holdups and setbacks. One thing's for sure, a week in space is never boring!

      That is a thoughtful observation. I've retired from being a machinist. My boss for several years was a German who was imported simply because he was incredibly talented and was available. We went through a period there was serious shortage of really talented toolmakers here in the US. So the fact that SpaceX is able to find the talent they need is encouraging!!

    9:10 speaking of the drone shot of Starship launching... The next time, instead of being a static drone shot, they need to have that drone fly upwards trying to keep pace with the rocket as it launches. Try to stay above the rocket for as long as possible until the speed of the rocket overtakes the drone's capability. That would be epic!

      You wouldn't even notice a difference between the two videos. By the time starship reaches the altitude that the drone is at, it's already flying faster than the max vertical speed of the drone. It's like mounting a camera at a drag strip vs handing a kid the camera and telling him to run with it as soon as the cars launch, they'd both look identical.

I'm aware that the rocket would eventually overtake the drone's speed, but I'm not suggesting a race to a finish line for the drone taking the video. It would just be a really cool cinematic video if the drone was trying to keep pace with the rocket for the launching portion of the rocket's trip.

    If SpaceX is going to move to "routine" launches, say even one a week, the propellant delivery to the launch site needs a major upgrade. Ideally a pipeline or at least a rail line could deliver the volume required. The road network and trucking resources are a massive bottleneck.

    This building new suits this year has been going on for a long time now. SpaceX offered to design new space suits but the senators in control of NASA flatly refused . And I'll be damned if I would step outside that spaceship in a ticking death suit.

      It’s honestly a debacle with how many companies and programs NASA has gone through to try and develop a new replacement spacesuit. Just use a fully hard vacuum insulated shell with articulated joints. Bonus points for using robotic manipulator hands for greater dexterity.

      The SpaceX EVA suits are a step back to the Gemini era, featuring tethers that are fine for tourism, but entirely unsuited for lunar or ISS EVA's, where astronauts want to move a significant distance from the airlock.
      Hiring SpaceX to design another seperate space suit to replace the ones on the ISS would mean concentrating even more programs and schedule risks in one company (SpaceX).

      Elon keeps saying the best part is no part. So they did their engineering sums and decided to fix them in a permanent 'out' position.
      They don't seem to have changed that for the Falcon9 boosters, but that may be because they would have to do a whole lot of test flights to keep their ?certification? perhaps?

      That wouldn't make sense - the Polaris capsule is the one that's undergone modifications to enable the space walk... it's not currently capable of docking with the ISS. Repurposing the one assigned to the next Axiom mission would be the obvious option if a Dragon is required at short notice.
