SpaceX Just Completed Starship's FINAL Test before Flight 4!

SpaceX are rapidly approaching T-0 for the fourth orbital launch attempt of the Starship integrated flight vehicle! Earlier today, they completed an apparently successful wet dress rehearsal, which means very little is left to do before launch, exciting times! Elsewhere, we saw the very first 21st launch and landing of a Falcon 9 first stage, Blue Origin’s grand return to crewed flight, China adds to its Beijing 3C constellation, and much, much more. Enjoy!

SpaceX is only allowed a certain number of deluge tests per year because of the potential environmental effects of releasing that much water into the area. My guess is that SpaceX may no longer need a deluge test for every WDR and each deluge test they save during testing is one more deluge they can do during launch.

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

Says who? Are they afraid of all the damage done by water? What about the stuff that falls from the sky?

[@Hal9000vsDave]

@@TheEvilmooseofdoom The restriction comes from the original FAA license environmental study. The release of the water is as designed. Starship isn't designed to drop debris from the sky, that's why the mishap reports are required.

[@holographicman]

Hi Matt!

[@MichaelCoombes776]

If it's a wet dress rehearsal, a water deluge test seems appropriate.

[@TaurusSpace]

Depends when they end the count + they are only allowed to use the deluge so many times a year

[@MichaelCoombes776]

I was making a bad joke about the use of the word "wet" in WDR. Taken literally, WDR suggests that you should always use the deluge system..... otherwise nothing gets wet.

[@Hungary_0987]

[@lennyjames8457]

MR LOWNE! You should recreate venturestar or the DCX/Y in the next ksp video :>

[@robwilliams8613]

That looked like a hard landing.

[@therocinante3443]

Also, is the joystick on your controller 2 axis? Or is it 4 buttons? Huge difference.

[@NemoConsequentae]

With the Blue Origin parachute issue, how does Matt know it was the 3rd, redundant, one that had the issue? It might have been the 2nd one that failed & the 3rd filled in as it was supposed to! 😁

[@jakemensik2842]

I love that even though it's a vague "3-4 weeks" until launch, it's summer time. So I can just drive on down there the day before if Elon publicly announces the launch date. I can't imagine missing this one.

[@ro.zyipitoe5226]

5:05 Everyday Astronaut might change that:)

[@star_titan]

Starship is really going to be a successful rocket in future, but I think the one place where it can fail is the heatshield tiles thing. NASA also failed in the Space Shuttle program mostly because of falling heat shield tiles

[@elkcub8780]

[@fractalelf7760]

The black guy was not an astronaut because he simply failed to pass the very objective testing criteria and the person responsible for the decision stood his ground to Kennedy directly on the question who was pushing for it. It was a good call. The aptitude testing was colorblind.

[@NeutronGD_OFFICIAL]

You sound like Grian ngl though...

[@sbmoonbeam]

I want to see spacex do well, I hope this launch is a genuine success and that humanity goes on to become multi-planetary, in fact multi-stellar. On the other hand if it blows up on the launchpad and Elon dies screaming with shards of glass in his face, that's good too!
