Imagine spacex has taken us to the point where it made people inclined to think that without a catch it is a failure! Isn’t that a success in itself?

[@beloved_lover]

Well it's R&D program still, so no point to call something a failure. But it will be another problem they need to figure out if they really want to do rapid reusability for next Mars launch window.

[@WorkerDroid]

Flight 6 was a success. Orbital engine relight in vacuum…check. Heat shield intact…check. Controlled landing/splashdown…check. The booster performed without flaw, all engines firing for launch. Controlled return. The landing check sequence was tested and aborted the catch, but the booster was never going to be used again, and it proved the aborted landing procedure. It’s all good. They saved the tower. Next two flights will be awesome.

[@ravneiv]

Good points. Nothing wrong happened with the vehicles.

[@worldwideroach]

Stress testing of stainless steel in re-entry conditions also continued.

It is insane at how PERFECT flight 5 went. With all the checks they have to do to make sure both the booster and the tower are good for a catch and manually telling the ship "go to tower". Flight 6 looks like there were no issues and a catch could have been done, and I can't wait to see why they aborted the catch attempt this time. I'm kind of glad they didn't get to do a catch as with failure you get to learn your weakness a lot better. Not to mention, that more aggressive landing profile for the booster can probably tell them more on what the booster is capable of if needed.

[@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882]

The tower has problems, most likely because the pad avoidance maneuver exhaust damages some of the components

Catch already proven so it would have been gravy. I suspect we'll see them fish the aft of that one out of the ocean to see how the upgrades around the outer engines faired. Still haven't got any good detail on what/if they did anything there.

Next year will be epic. We are super close to these flights being “normal” even with the catches. I suspect 5more flights and both vehicles being caught will become normal. Sick

[@macjonte]

Will be interesting to see how they solve pumping liquids in zero gravity. Looking forward to the Marcus house video explaining how it works. ;)

[@snakevenom4954]

They're not gonna pump it. Just use pressure differential to transfer the fluids

[@jantjarks7946]

There are two methods. One is to keep one engine running, preventing fuel from sloshing around. Second is to use a small pressurized fuel tank, which is kept full for reignition. Theoretically there's another, using a bladder, compressing the fuel inside the bladder. In the end, you only need a small amount of fuel for reignition, the moment the engine pushes the rocket again all fuel will end on the bottom anyways, feeding the engine again.

[@macjonte]

How do they do it at the space station? But I guess the hard part will be to keep it cool enough so it won’t have to be vented?

[@oberonpanopticon]

@@snakevenom4954Wouldn’t that result in two ships that are both half full of fuel

[@snakevenom4954]

@@oberonpanopticon Not if you're venting the recipient ship. Not to mention the liquid methane or oxygen take up much less space than their gaseous form so not much pressure needs to be released. We're talking about 250m^3 of volume being transferred in total. It's a little under 10% of the tank size. If the tank is being held at 6 BAR, it'll drop to like 5.4 BAR. It's not a lot of pressure being released. The most important part is settling the liquids on the bottom to transfer the liquids instead of the high pressure gas. And just in case you're wondering why the pressure doesn't drop more when the liquid is under that pressure, liquids are only very slightly compressible. They're usually defined as incompressible

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Once SpaceX has two towers ready, they might be able to divert to another tower in case of tower malfunction.

[@garrettellis2673]

Thanks brother 👍 love the content.

[@caldodge]

Gravity losses are significant for vertical acceleration and deceleration. Since they are proportional to time, a shorter, stronger thrust loses less fuel to gravity losses. Also, waiting until later to start the landing burn means aerodynamic resistance scrubs off a little more speed.

[@hawkdsl]

It also means if you ride in the booster, you'll be flattened like a pancake during landing/catch.

[@Scanner9631]

@@hawkdsl If you rid in the booster you are in a propellant tank. No worries about being flattened then.

[@hawkdsl]

@@Scanner9631 The G forces from slowing down to 5 mph from just under speed of sound will flatten you no matter where in the rocket you are.

[@Scanner9631]

@@hawkdsl If you try to fly in the BOOSTER you will be DEAD. In the propellant tanks you will be frozen. All long before any acceleration would kill you. The booster has no cargo space that is sealed outside the propellant tanks. So worrying about passengers on the booster suffering fatal acceleration is foolish as there is no where on the booster they would survive long enough for acceleration to be an issue.

[@hawkdsl]

@@Scanner9631 Ok, so... my post went over your head.... and that's fine. Be well.

I wasn’t surprised that they didn’t catch the booster this time. They have already proved the concept and they probably chasing different data. Why put the one OLM at risk. Everything else was progress and although the ship showed some rippling just before it slashed down, the whole mission looked very successful to my amateur eyes.

[@MarcusHouse]

Yea, I reckon they had the strictness on those checks for return in "paranoid mode". Hopefully they can now launch Block 2 sooner rather than later.

[@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882]

It's because something went wrong with tower shortly after launch, not that they always planned to splashdown

[@CyberMikes]

Great update Marcus. So much information to take in. Really appreciate it.

[@FerociousPancake888]

Rather splash a booster down (that you weren’t planning to reuse anyway) than risk it plowing into hundreds of millions of dollars worth of launch infrastructure. The only active launch infrastructure you have! Totally the right decision. Looking forward to hearing more details about what happened at the tower and if it was a credible threat or a possible false alarm.

[@schrodingerscat1863]

So from the perspective of the rocket flight 6 was a complete success catch being aborted because of issues with the tower. Also they really pushed the re-entry way beyond the normal flight profile showing that Starship can really take a beating on re-entry and still land successfully. Also with the zero G relight of a Raptor it clears the way for a fully orbital trajectory next time with a precise de-orbit burn. Can't wait to see how V2 holds up next launch.

[@echomande4395]

So flight 7 will be a shakedown of the V2 ship and possibly a full orbit. Hopefully a catch in flight 8 but we'll have to see. By the time of flight 8 SpaceX will hopefully have Tower 2 operational so they can afford to take some more risks with Tower 1. I expect that once Tower 2 is launch proven and deemed an improvement over Tower 1, Tower 1 will be demoted to landing tower (catches only) and/or, with its launch mount, will be rebuilt to Tower 2 specs.

[@mathswithpete5078]

Hi. I'm a bit confused here. If this is the worlds largest and most powerful rocket why can it only put 50 tonnes into LEO? And why can't it send a ship to the moon directly like Apollo did?

[@SyahmiAsyraffYT]

To put it simply, Starship is a two-stage vehicle. During the launch, the fuel on the upper stage is used for orbital insertion. Once it's in orbit, it didn't have enough fuel to do an injection burn to other terrestrial bodies (e.g. Moon), thus requiring multiple on-orbit refuellings before doing so.

[@Jonathancarr714]

In short, its because starship is reusable and must return back to earth. New raptor versions should push the payload capacity much higher.

[@musicbruv]

It can lift 150 tons to LEO.

[@JaredKlatt]

Iits going to have a payload capacity of 200 tons with the raptor 3 engines. Volume is much more so that’s double the payload of Saturn V. Plus with the ability to in flight refuel it will be the most versatile rocket ever including putting all of that payload into LEO. All that for 50 million bucks. Unheard of. And the rocket is just going to get bigger over time. This is a proof of concept at this point.

[@That_Awesome_Guy1]

Because it's fully reusable. The saturn 5 broke into a bunch of smaller pieces that were thrown away to burn up in the atmosphere.

[@chrislaidlaw3308]

This is how to make progress! SpaceX has made more progress in a very short time than NASA has in all of its existence. Why would NASA not wish to join with SpaceX. If in the next couple of years the efforts produce a series of reliable reusable ships, we will then finally be able to construct a reliable torus shaped space station. Very exciting times are in store for the future of space travel! And it will happen in a much shorter time due to reusable rockets and vehicles. The fact that this testing is being done in rapid succession, as opposed to how NASA and other space agencies were operating, bodes well for SpaceX.
