Great update. Looking forward to your daily Starship news videos over the next week. Thanks for all the effort you put into them Ellie.

You do a great job reporting for us Ellie! Thanks for what you do

Ellie so glad you will be reporting from Boca Chico Stare Base. We love your enthusiastic reporting! We’ll be tuned in for the launch! These are such exciting times.

So happy you're able to be there to watch it! I'm so excited for you and all the folks who get to see it in person. It's too bad y'all are too far south for us up in DFW to see it.

I am so excited for the next launch!

It's just wild how far we've come in only five years.

Maravilha de documentário grata por poder assistir sucesso

thank you Ellie

The zero G flopping around reminds me of bow hopping on the bow of a large ship in heavy seas. But there you can get classic sea sickness.

3:11 "I love getting up early" 🙄 This was great. I feel that sentiment!

Thank you, Elle! I Appreciate every video you share.

The zero G fun requires training to get over the changes in orientation. I took my kid on rollercoasters in 2003 to get her over car sickness. Sea sickness is a pain as some can handle large boats but not small. I get sick on large ships, so know your limits. I was always a thrill seeker, so the training was more fun than disorienting! It is like learning to change your eye dominance from left to right, there are things you have to learn to turn off. Be sure to keep a journal of your adventures and take notes on what it felt like before and after you got sick. These notes help to understand what the problem is. I have to have a distant target to focus on, so without that target, I am a mess.

Thank you Ellie for all you do

So cool . Incredible news. Love your coverage Ellie. Great job !

Thank`s for the update

Ellie is amazing! Keep up the great work!

I like how you get to the new stuff upfront in your video. Keep doing that! There are 5,500 starlinks. I wonder how many lasers on each new Starlink. 4?

Regarding the previous video with a low view count, I don't think KZfaq told me about it even though I'm subscribed to all notifications. Going to go back and watch it today.

Appreciate what you are doing 👍. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Ellie!

I am very excited for the flight. It’s going to be a fun one. Thank you again for your factual, and personal reports. Oh, and the Vomit Comet is awesome.

Also, I’m excited to see your coverage of 3-D printed houses. This technology should be something we see on the moon and Mars, even beyond. Thank you!

Thanks for the reminder to watch the astronaut interviews! They were great

Thank you Ellie. Always good.😊

So excited for excellent! I’m ready let’s go

Thanks again Ellie.

👍👍Great stuff !

Nice update

87K ! Whoot whoot here we come 100K! You will get there Ellie!

ty Ellie

Plan on flying in from Northern Europe for the event, have been looking forward to this. Worst case is a nice little vacation in South Padre Island.

Thanks Ellie, I look forward to seeing your videos. And I agree with you that the Zero-G transition is what did me in, Zero-g itself was wonderful!

Thanks

Lol! Ellie, I love your sense of humor!

NOTAM = "Notice to Air Missions" just fyi

Boca Chica State Park should be disbanded and replaced with some of the hundreds of miles of unoccupied coastal land up the coastline. That plot of land should be dedicated to space launches just as Cape Canaveral is.

Did a military flight vomit comet decades ago. damn was that fun. Glad you enjoyed it, even with complications. Looking forward to IFT-3.

pi day and spacex's birthday. fingers crossed for a great success on 3.14

Ellie deserves to be on the DearMoon mission ..

Ok. I’m crushing on Ellie ❤ but besides that, thank you for your great content!!

What about the trajectory from the planned pad 2 location? Want any future launches from pad 2 overfly pad 1 and the orbital launch complex?

I know quite viewers are going to IFT3 this time. Any chance you would consider hosting a livestreamed post-launch reaction/TPS tile hunt at the launch pad with all of us and perhaps co-hosted with Jordan/Angry? With a clean launch, the road opens 3-4 hours later. If you announce it, they will come!

I really love the way your hair looks in Zero G. It was kinda flowing almost like you were underwater. It looked really cool!

Pi Day! cool! I'll be there.....soooooo excited.

Wow, a Zero G kiss! I don't think I have seen that before! You should definitely make a short video showcasing that moment. I've noticed that you have been a little apologetic about discussing nausea on the flight. Well, I've always heard it referred to as the Vomit Comet. So, I don’t think you have to worry about damaging their reputation. It would be great if you could co-host the next launch with another KZfaqr, you have a talent interacting with other people on camera. And please do another cart wheel if the launch is successful. 😊 Keep up the good work, Cheers from Alaska

That guy next to you should lay off the energy drinks. LOL

Hmm... will it come close to Diego Garcia? Perhaps the WB-57 can fly from there to acquire visual data.

Love your posts on X too!

That's a first, snogging while floating.

Hey, I can't seem to find that interview video you mentioned. Maybe KZfaq is being a bit flakey and not showing it as published? Might explain why viewing numbers are low if that's the case.

Minor nit, there are only roughly 5,000 (a few more) starlink satellites in orbit. Each space laser equipped starlink satellite has four lasers, so 10,000 lasers only means 2,500 equipped satellites. So roughly half the constellation is now laser equipped.

I saw that at the end! I think if there is even a slight risk of getting sick on that thing, I wouldn’t be kissing anyone. That was brave. 😂

I am perplexed that the Zero G astronaut video didn't get many views.

I'm pretty confident they have only launched 6000 or so starlinks with 5400 ish in service. but still unbelievable!

If Starship is landing in the Indian Ocean then surely China will be parking a fleet of submarines waiting to recover raptor engines to take back to reverse-engineer. Why is no one taking about that?

Can we get more info on starlink and John Deere tractors getting starlink connected

Ellie for those of us that are colorblind can't easily distinguish the land swap map. We need colors that are high in contrast like blue and yellow or white, or add some arrows or outlines or the vertical hash marks help slot. I know you didn't make the graphic but I think you have mentioned that most of your audience are dudes and many of us are colorblind and just want to see the data and not be worried about mis-interpreting. Thanks. Don't forget to face the launch pad at liftoff to make sure the pointy end is up.

Is Ellie going to take some selfies with Starship exploding in the background?

The Indian Ocean is closer when flying east from Texas than the Pacific.

1:44 Maybe Starship will find Malaysian Flight 370!

That zero-g snog will do more for your likes, looking forward to more of the same.

Targeting the Indian Ocean??? Am I clinical in thinking that if in the event that tracking should fail and the ship crash on land causing serious damage or even death the financial consequences would be significantly less

NOTAM = Notice to Air Missions NOTMAR = Notice to Mariners

10,000 lasers, not 10,000 sats. I beleive only v1.5 and v2 mini have them onboard

Elie: Why doesn't Elon land starship in the Gulf of Mexico. Its mighty big and Starship can easily be towed to factory to find get additional info on design.

There has been some assumptions that SpaceX, to appease NASA with the tank-to-tank transfer, and their payload door test, may attempt a full orbital track by Starship. That is why they may be aiming for an Indian Ocean splashdown.

The gal in the forefront had way too many red bulls. They don't call it the vomit comet for no reason, thanks L.

Not sure 10K lasers = 10K sats. I believe they have not launched that many sats. Probably 2 laser per sat.

Do you have a Tesla referral code? I haven't had a test drive yet.

Ya know...... If I win the Powerball (big $) I'll do a direct sponsorship of ya! Who else will throw their hat in if they win?

You did great! Better than me?

It's 10,000 *lasers* not satellites. Each laser-equipped satellite has multiple lasers. Regarding Starship's trajectory, my guess is they're launching on the same trajectory as the previous launches but this time they'll attempt an active de-orbit burn. If the burn works, it'll re-enter over the Indian Ocean. If something goes wrong and the Raptors don't relight, it'll passively re-enter near Hawaii as originally planned.

Elon totally needs to set up zero-g rides on Mars.

2 lazers per starlink

what's pie day?

KESSLER SYNDROME JULY 4TH 2025 !

Will you be cruising down there with Joe in his new cybertruck?

Ellie too heavy for 0 G ??? :-)))))

Without that great human being, Elon Musk, NONE of these advances would be possible. I am grateful be living as Mr Musk makes us better. Im 74 years old and hope to see humans on Mars during my lifetime.

Terrible idea to land in the Indian ocean. China will fish the rocket or pieces of it out.

musk needs to make a zero G neuralink brain patch to mitigate effects of vomit comet induced retching experiences and engineer a 500 volt electro jolt belt to inhibit muscle and bone atrophy by creating bone crushing cramps in the body to keep things robust biologically lol

Was that your boyfriend you kissed on the flight? Just wondering.
