SpaceX Assemble MegaCrane, and Prepare for First Booster Catch Test!

Another busy week featuring 62 Starlink satellites launched across 3 SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets, Rocket Lab launched Electron’s 50th mission, Long March 2C placed 2 satellites in orbit, SpaceX sent a the Luxembourg Astra 1P to Geosynchronous orbit, Boeing faced more problems with its stuck Starliner, and, of course, there was lots of progress with SpaceX’s Starship, what the heck is up with that weird test tank on the launchpad?! Enjoy!

04:08 - Verbal typo! I said that the vehicle was designated 14.2, but it is, in fact, 14.1. Even said so in my script so no idea how I managed to blunder that one

With the upgrade from Raptor 2 to Raptor 3, won't SpaceX have to completely overhaul both landing programs for Starship and Booster? So they need to have some tests before they are implemented onto Starship/Superheavy?

[@Aetherblade-z4o]

They have to build entirely new spaceships anyways so I'm sure they will make the necessary modifications in the testing phase of the new production facility

[@seeker4749]

Omg it's 14.1 booster

[@thetobi583]

I get the feeling Boeing isn't going to be flying Starliner again until the company as a whole changes its approach to maintenance and engineering. Seems like the people running the departments are more office people than technical people. Give me a guy that turned wrenches on the fuselage for 15+ years sitting in that seat, not a dude with a 4 year business degree and no clue what the difference between a screw and a rivet is

[@veritateseducational217]

@@SpaceflightExplained Starliner is very much not stuck, as teams on the ground have delayed the undocking to accommodate spacewalks. This gives them time to review the data about the small helium leak. It can leave right now and be safe.

Excellent video. Embarrassingly, I didn't even know you did these videos. I've only ever watched your KSP content before now. I call this a win for the algorithm for putting it in my feed. This Starliner program is extremely troubling, considering the myriad other problems Boeing is having currently. I'm sure the trst flight crew will get home safely, but company-wise, they have got to be losing a lot of their costomers' faith in their ability to properly and safely meet requirements.

[@SpaceflightExplained]

The thing is, I even had faith in Boeing to do this. I thought about how the plane team is NOT the space team in their company, but I suppose they share safety officers lol

[@TlalocTemporal]

​@@SpaceflightExplained-- More importantly, they have the same C-suite, so the same decisions that have led to troubled planes are also affecting the rocket teams.

if SpaceX isn't going to rescue the stranded astronauts (yet?), it might be time for the Blunderbirds to shine and show Boeing how spaceflight works

There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire

[@gadopilo]

You should know it's easy and hard to make that much profit. I say EASY because it's very possible to make that much, and Hard because you'll need professional assistance to do it, I'd suggest you get assisted by a market advisor.

[@lazyas8016]

This is impressive how could someone go about getting investment guidance from a coach like that, would you mind sharing your coach~info?

[@allphic8445]

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $21k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

Challenge idea, do a mun mission, but no timewarp or quicksaves, if you mess up, you have to do it all over again. Always keep the game running. And to top it all off, use realistic solar system. Experience what Mission Control experienced on Apollo missions.
