With regard to propellants, I would not be too surprised to see a pipeline bundle being installed from the launch site to the build site and possibly further. SpaceX could then extend the pipeline bundle alongside the highway all the way to Brownsville but I can see them exploring the possiblilities of putting in a railway line to Brownsville instead, with a railhead near the build site. If they did that they could potentially also start delivering engines and other build materials by rail, further reducing the number of trucks using the highway.

Flight 4, Starship re-entry was the star of the show. Flight 5, Superheavy booster catch was the star of the show. Flight 6, Starship re-entry was the star of the show. Flight 7 is probably gonna be Superheavy again. Flight 8 will be Starship catch! I sense a trend.

"The term cable is often used interchangeably with wire rope. However, in general, wire rope refers to diameters larger than 3/8 inch. Sizes smaller than this are designated as cable or cords. Two or more wires concentrically laid around a center wire is called a strand." From Bergen Cable Technology.

[@richardconway6425]

When SpaceX softly lands a Starship on the moon with lots of useful cargo, then I will be *really* impressed. How long before we see that? It seems to me that, apart from the refuelling in orbit challenge, they are very close to being able to do that.

[@MarcusHouse]

I think first we need to see very frequent Starlink missions with reuse testing and improvement over and over. Once they have that mass to orbit nailed, they can be confident in the process for refilling. I think we are realistically still a few years out, but NASA's side of things is too.

[@cipedead0777]

You do such amazing work. Ove seeing what you have each week. I bet you did not think you would go from KSP

[@karlstathakis7786]

Agreed with Musk about the SLS. It's a cool rocket for sure, but the cost is utterly insane: nearly $100B for a program that's fired off one test flight and will need close to another decade (and $50+B) before getting us back to the Moon. The failure doesn't stem from bad engineers or bad engineering. Rather, it stems from terrible technical requirements, micromanagement from Congress, a program structured for political stability over technical results, and a cost-plus contract structure. NASA is still capable of incredible things, and they have some amazing programs doing great science at a reasonable price. But the SLS program is the very definition of "fat, dumb, and happy."

[@KnugLidi]

SLS is a political creation, done solely to ensure valuable jobs stay in certain states. this is the result of corruption, which is simply rampant in the US

These launches did show the engines are proving to be reliable as is the navigation and control systems. This is showing the program is advancing much faster now. What ever happened to the 2 oil platforms he was going to put a catch tower on?

[@MarcusHouse]

That slowmo of the inner 10 restart is freaking incredible.

[@jf7009]

those 2 oil platforms were sold again by Spacex. Seems like they got other plans.

[@MediaWML]

I believe that has been abandoned for now as it doesn't currently allow for rapid reusability (i.e. land re-fuel and relaunch within hours).

[@JoelSapp]

They sold the platforms. They got way ahead of themselves and probably - at the time - needed to be smarter with their money. 18 months and they will know their launch tower design and it would seem this would be back on the table. They could have a very high cadence with an offshore platform that had access to natural gas.

[@jackeppington6488]

@@JoelSapp I'm thinking about Australia, supposedly SpaceX's new friend. It really is about the only appropriate foreign place to build a full Starship launch/landing site to enable point-to-point cargo runs for Asia. Not to mention providing another hemisphere where ship could land.

[@ThexBorg]

They'll need another drone ship to catch F9 boosters.

Yea, unless they can get Starlinks to orbit with Starship soon, the 3 droneships are the limiting factor.

I don't know if launching ICPS on Falcon Heavy would be possible. It would definitely require significant alterations to the ground support equipment, the Falcon Heavy itself, and possibly even the HIF. Also ICPS, along with other DCSS stages are discontinued and aren't intended to fly on missions beyond Artemis 3. Finally Orion isn't really meant to be able to dock with ICPS backwards and docking nose-to-nose would mean performing the TLI burn while the astronauts in their seats are basically upside down. What might be more feasable would be to still launch Orion on something like Vulcan Centaur, but then have a HLS derrived transfer vehicle (either based on HLS Starship or Lockheed Martin's cislunar transporter) take it from LEO to TLI. The transfer stage would probably want a small crew capable orbital module with correctly oriented seats that would allow Orion to dock with it nose-to-nose and have the astronauts not hang upside down in their seats during the TLI burn, but unlike ICPS they'd probably have the performance budget to do that.

[@Ittiz]

There is a pipeline made for natural already going to Boca. It was put there because the Sanchez site used to be a gas well. It doesn't make enough methane anymore for starship, but they could put a new pipe in the easement to pipe gas out of Texas' existing natural gas system and liquify methane at the Sanchez site. The only additional thing they would need to do is get an easement along the highway between Sanchez and the fuel farm.

[@richardloewen7177]

I suspect that the FIRST moon lander--involving substantial freight--will have to prioritize equipment to slag regolith. To make a landing field without regolith debris tossing. Otherwise, debris puncturing will occur. Safe the environment first. Only then, start building up the lunar infrastructure.

[@kevinwayne7546]

Coffee, Cigar, and Marcus! Great Saturday morning!

[@nobody_815]

Replacing SLS: Dock Orion with Straship in LEO or take away the nosecone of Straship (which seems to be just empty space in the images anyway) and launch Orion on top of the HSL (crew separately in Falcon 9). You don't need ICPS. Also safer to dock in LEO rather than LLO and the crew can live in Starship on the way.

[@admarsandbeyond]

You don't need Orion at all. Launch a Dragon with crew to Starship lunar transit and lander, send it to the moon, return (may need some extra refilling), and land crew with Dragon.

What is the benefit of hot staging? And it looks like they upgraded the hypersonic grid fins. They didn’t warp this time. I wonder how the raptor engine nozzles held up as well during landing.

[@spanke2999]

The whole thing stays in an excelerated forward motion and therefore the fuel stays at the bottom and feeding the engines...

[@Spherical_Cow]

The grid fins did warp this time as well; their design hadn't changed since flight 5. Hot staging minimizes "gravity losses" - i.e. the stretch of time during which the second stage is falling back to the ground during conventional staging, before it ignites its engine(s).

[@Yoshi-wo1do]

what would keep spacex from having fully extended landing legs (maybe with dampers still, but generally sticking out) on liftoff already? they aim to make it out the atmosphere pretty fast anyway and when the added drag and thus increased fuel early in the flight are offset by reduced weight of a rigid one with only dampers as moving parts compared to a fully retracting contraption or is the benefit of choosing a larger variety of landing sites with more uneven ground etc more desireable?

[@bigwangmark]

SpaceX is such an impressive company in how fast it does stuff. Feels like back in the moon race days with the fast pace rocket tech was designed and built and solutions found to fix issues as they popped up without slowing or stopping forward progress. I still see a lot of hate towards spaceX based purely on the fact elon is involved but that is also insulting to the thousands of people working at spaceX who are the real force behind the company vs just one man. As a middle aged guy I really thought I had missed any chance of ever seeing anything like this because we went from the moon race to slowing down space exploration by humans to not even having a launch system to take people into space after the canceled the space shuttle. But here we are in a new space race and it's so fing amazing...Im loving it. Just hope I live long enough to see us make it to mars...all be it decades late.

Such a shame that booster catch couldn't be attempted earlier this week, but what if the second Stage Zero had been available? I feel sure that when it is, flight profiles will be configured so that the booster can land at either launch & catch tower. For example, if tower one sustains damage during a launch, it would be great if the booster could be caught at the second tower and not have to splash down in the sea and be wasted.
