Absolutely. This is one time where hitting the expected LZ should be considered a success for FAA investigation purposes. Once they are going for the human rating, the investigation should be completed before next launch, but not for a development ship that stayed in flight parameters.

IFT3 flew, it didn't fly exactly as documented in the plan, so SpaceX need to tell the FAA why - but that doesn't mean it's a big deal... it's not forcing SpaceX to carry out an investigation that they weren't already doing for their own purposes.

Not all of them. They still can't do vertical integration for Falcon, and as far as I know, they still haven't developed the larger fairing... both of which are needed for some of those launches. They're contracted to provide those capabilities, but I suspect they have a quiet understanding with the government... they'll draw up the necessary plans as contingency, but would be happier if the government just gave those missions to ULA, because they don't really fit the SpaceX roadmap.

The ULA Vulcan is definitely the best rocket booster ULA had ever flown. Unfortunately, it is up to compete against the 14 years old SpaceX Falcon 9 and it is not it's better in any category (except maybe fairing width) - it is more expensive, and less capable and at this point isn't even partly reusable so they still trash a $110M vehicle every time.
@fridaycaliforniaa236 16 күн бұрын

@guss77 16 күн бұрын
BTW - the $110M cost is almost for sure a loss leader for ULA - the actual cost (including amortized development cost that was estimated by ULA CEO as $2B) is almost for sure non-competitive and ULA likely relies on their own public estimates that the booster cost can be reduced by 65% to 90%, to make some profit in the future.

It gives more internal space, it will allow Spacex to use the connection between star factory and the megabays thus allowing a starship/booster to be fully built without it ever going outside.

Oh, felix, and the tanks also had another benefit: the actually stoppes some of the shockwaves. So no tanks😅= perhaps more stuff blow about??

Yes not only another mega bay is needed but some sort of an ULTRA BAY since V3 boosters wont fit inside the megabays anymore.... SpaceX should have made megabays higher when they first build them

Felix and WAI team, great channel and amazing show as always. You mentioned that one of the boosters in this episode is number B1062. Not sure if you are a fan of the Matrix, but in one of the ancillary animated Matrix movies that came out after the first movie, appropriately called Animatrix, one of the robots rises up and kills its owner. The model number of the robot was B1-66ER. I doubt I can reach Elon, because I don't have the juice, but maybe you do. Please plead with him to change the name of the upcoming booster to B1-66ER. How epic would that be considering it has to do with The Matrix, robots, AI and everything else we are going through right now... Keep up the epic work!

You've got to admit it is a whirlwind of work! Hard to imagine many other companies who are capable of putting all of this together so quickly. As to the helium leak, they knew about the leak before the valve issue and decided to look into again only after they removed the rocket from the launch tower. In other words, they were going to fly this craft already knowing they had a problem leak. I presume the astronauts were aware of the leak and were prepared to put their lives on the line in spite of it. You think?

I'm inclined to watch your episodes at half speed, highly recommend, for many reasons but the best is listening to your commentary. It sounds like you are wasted drunk 😂😂😂 I've now convinced myself that all your episodes are created while wasted drunken and correctly hilarious then doubled to a regular speed You Rockon!?! ~ hic*up Thanks Amigo

"Is another Megabay/Highbay neeeeeded"? :) Of course they are needed. You can't have enough of the bays. The more bays, the greater speed. :D When it comes to where they should put a new Megabay/Highbay, in my world the perfect move would be relocating Stargate to the new office building, and then "shmack...!!!!" Another Megabay placed where Stargate used to be.. :D Easy... I mean, there's no actual reason to keep Stargate as a standalone building since it's most probably only "office" stuff going on there. :D Great show as always :)

Regarding additional megabays... stack 'em. Ground space is scarce, so build a double height super-mega-bay, with a big cargo elevator to move them around. If you do it right, you can knock the floor out later, and use it to build a 20mm super-starship. ;)

7:58 - Right Oh, Landing Zone for Starship looks to be in range of observers from Diego Garcia. That'd be a good place to put another tower.

Also, I work with cryogenics, and its pretty common for bolts to loosen up when you first chill them. I would think they would do a full cryo test and retorque as standard operating procedure?

Of all the things to be skeptical about with the starship program, their tank farm was low on my list. I figured it made sense to be able to build out large tanks like that, I wonder what was so critically wrong with them to prompt their total removal and replacement over further upgrades. Was it an issue with the tanks themselves, or largely due to the lack of trench to divert shockwaves away during launch?

@biodieseler1 24 күн бұрын
Surely, with the increasing launch cadence, leading to multiple per day they'd need more bays eventually?

@petermcguire8260 23 күн бұрын
On the starliner you say tighten the bolts like that's crazy. What's actually happening is they're increasing the torque so that you get less flexibility and if they strip it out then they have to come back and replace the other end of the bolt. The falcon 9 already knows what the tolerances are because they've done it so many times they're already zuwed in with a fixed number unlike ULA that's just getting started.

Perhaps Stargate will move to the new office building and indeed there will be a MEGABAY next to the OG highbay? We'll see, interesting for sure!🤩
@mrspirus5735 24 күн бұрын
My theory is when the office building is finished SpaceX will tear town the stargate building and highbay and build 2 megabays. The parking garage will also remove the need for parking in that area providing more space for the megabays to be built.

They do love iterative design. Sooner or later, they'll probably consolidate multiple megabays into something the size of the VAB...
