Spacex shouldn't try to catch a booster until a second launch tower is built, a redundancy that would be appreciated if the first catch step doesn't work out

I think the redesign of the hot staging ring is to remove the need to jettison it, but am sure they will continue to use it as a temporary fix for the time being. they want a fully reusable rocket if they had to jettison part of it every flight they would just have a partially reusable one

Tiles should be T&G, and maybe stainless wire mesh inside.

It’s December not Decks. Is this a computer narration?

The little flap that could

❤😂🎉Thanks for all SpaceX hard works .GOD bless you all. ❤

Cannot beleive.. i missed the live flight broadcast. But nevertheless.. what a success! Starship was melting, but never gave up. LETSGOOO SPACEX!!!

Elon is our best hope for humanity becoming a space-faring civilization.

I'm just a casual viewer of SpaceX's wonderful achievements. I have always wondered if they could apply some sort of heat shield paint or spray that they could apply over top of the tiles. That might help keep them from falling off and give a little more protection. It would burn away and let the tiles do the job that they were intended to do. The main point is to keep tiles from falling off because a spray/paint/foam/whatever would have no gaps an act like a protective shield.

This water tower has flown to space and back

SpaceX is running against itself in its own course. What se should be aware of is that they mastered the power of chance, therefore It is reasonable to think next launch to be after data from flight 4 is analysed. Could be in two weeks or two months. Who carnes ? The importar thing is the step forward, the "giant leap". Cheers you all.

I would submit, the second towers construction and implementation would be a major factor, if catching booster on #5 is projected.

Thx for all your work and content ;)

God how much padding and material bed and perhapses does any one video need? I lost the will to live way before the end. 😣

I don’t understand how they can accelerate to 26,000 mph in space yet they can’t slow down before re-entry, like turn the ship round to use the same engine to slow it down!

Outstanding planed "TEST" flight. Looking forward to reading the post flight report.

Gone full on carnivore here. Carnivore seems to out perform every other diet both under clinical analysis and anecdotally.

They need a big electromagnetic field generator to splay the plasma so it doesn’t interact with key areas. Problem is to make the field strong enough will require a lot of current. And to get a strong enough field may need super conducting magnets that will get too hot unless cooled with lox.

Why dnt you play cricket instead of wasting energy on inventions

LOL. You guys are so full of yourselfs. Speaking like you know anything, when this little dude obviously don't know what he is talking about at all. I am going to unsubscribe and give you well deserved downvote.

Rather a silly comment about Orion's heat shield being in a worse condition than Starship after Flight 4. The Orion heat shield did not allow any burn through, and did not fail - it was merely more damaged than had been expected, delaying the next flight. Orion, after just two flights into space, is in much better condition than Starship.

is the dimmed top left engine @ 5:58 tuned down to balance the non operating engine?

China genuinely achieves its goals, like Nike's "Just Do It," whereas the USA faked its lunar landing in a Hollywood studio, which is why the Chinese found no trace of an American visit to the moon.

SpaceX should launch booster a couple of times just above tower then practice trial landing on arms, first.

Soft landing? I suppose that's a relative statement.

Yes, if they follow the same methods for the booster, the starship requires a slight redesign of the starship heat shield …

Given the company's antecedents for exceptional innovation I suspect it entirely possible SpaceX could fabricate the dirigible control surfaces referred to as 'flaps' almost completely out of solid if reinforced heat shield material. The revised structures might not be any heavier than the present design which is evidently comprised of some sort of stainless steel primary substrate comparable to the remainder of the vehicle. Should degradation to the control surfaces continue to occur during re-entry then the extent to which that might affect functionality for the structures could be less likely to be critical prior to completion of transit through that particular phase and affected structures could be simply and probably rapidly replaced.

Love it so much , innovation it’s the key to success

Fabulous 🎉

YES love to see that but get the other launch tower built first so main launch tower wont be damaged if anything might go wrong. 🖖👍

Perhaps your critical observations would be better used to inform Boeing. Since they affect many, many more people.

If it spin launches how does it only reduce emissions by 70%. Woukd it not be by 100%

Hiw did they 'prove it was possible' ?

No

WTF? There weren't 33 "rockets." There were 33 engines. Another major mistake and I'm blocking this site in my browser, never to be seen again. Well, goodbye. This is the 2nd time the hot staging ring was used, not the first.

Why don't they put a landing gear on Starship and land on a runway?

China and India are the only likely moon stations. Very soon, the USA will not have the economy to do a moon base.

i would love to see starship and booster's state after landing.. where are they? im looking forward seeing them too badly.😩

That thing refuses to die. Amazing.

I guess that makes sense but space x has the best minds in the industry I sure hope that they can do it be for I die I would love to see it

DID AMERICA REALY LAND ON THE MOON. I DON'T THINK SO...😂😂😂😂😂

Did the booster and starship sink? or are they floating and awaiting pickup by salvagers? Hopefully before China gets to them.

The main points here are the starship going up and coming down ,once in space dont matter much,,,very good flight given is still experimental spacecraft!

Does SpaceX know why that one wasn't working yet.

Absolutely yes😊

Hey Elon - that's impressive. Keep on going!

Landed all of its launched mass - except the parts that simply melted off :)

The guy with the duct tape just ruined the whole video 🤣🤣😂 redneck at work🤣😂
