SpaceX Starship Booster Upgrades Needed After Static Fire, Artemis 1 Ready, JWST, Soyuz MS-22 & More

[@charlesblithfield6182]

Watching your show every Saturday morning I just take for granted how it just flows along nicely but today for some reason I figured what kind of a coordinated effort it must be to produce these 21 minutes. Gathering all the media, integrating it with the script through editing etc… basically I’m just saying well done Marcus!

[@MarcusHouse]

Hey thanks Charles. That means a lot.

[@BobTaile]

@@MarcusHouse and we totally concur with Charles' comments, Saturday would not be the same without your excellent video updates. Our prediction for the ARTEMIS test is not in 2022 - maybe February or March 2023 and for a crewed launch we wonder if 2028/9 will be achieved.

[@rocroc]

I was just sitting here watching this video thinking the very same thing. It takes heck of a lot of work. One video a week or more of very technical data in a rapidly changing stream of information. Excellent work!

[@DSVETLOV]

He probably uses an Android! 😉🤣

[@aeroripper]

Imagine how loud and ridiculously powerful the full 33 engines taking off is going to be.

[@alanhart9992]

Wow. This weeks update was “Dense” packed. Lots of great stuff. My personal favorite was Cosmic Perspective’s HD slow motion video of B7 Static Fire. Incredible footage.

[@MarcusHouse]

It sure is huh!?

[@stepheneyles2198]

That drone footage of the boosters being moved really makes a difference; never really appreciated the distance between launch and build sites before. Keep up the good work Marcus and the Team!

[@iandorge762]

Another great well organized video. It is impressive at how much content you and the team cram into each video!

[@MarcusHouse]

Thanks Ian!

[@johnwscarpenter]

@@MarcusHouse Great videos. Keep them coming. Any info on the oil rigs SpaceX bought? I’d be interested in seeing how they are converting them for launch and catch.

[@JAKEY-000]

Hey hey Marcus!!

Hey there Jacob!

[@johno30197]

Yes marcus..the drone view and the slow mo on the booster static fire engines was on point so much going on at spaceX never disappoint with the stream mate thank's for sharing....

[@MarcusHouse]

So good John. I only wish they had published it in higher quality.

[@rockon1323]

I look forward to your videos every Saturday. Keep up the good work 👏!

[@MarcusHouse]

Cheers mate! Have a great week!

[@waynesardullo2482]

I was taken back to the image of Neptune for several reasons. I was just old enough and into Astronomy as a little boy and I remember watching the coverage news(Documentary's PBS) from NASA when Voyager 1 and 2 probes send back images of Jupiter and Saturn. I was SUPER impressed later when they pushed V2 to Uranus and couldn't believe what they showed at that time, When they pushed again to Neptune it was pretty good but the Planet to me just didn't give up enough. This image of Neptune gives me the chills the same way the V1 and V2 Probes did back in the day. Look forward to the next set of things they have to show.

[@heathjones4214]

That panning time lapse @ 13:52 is mind blowing. Could definitely use more of that fancy footage in future videos!

[@Ludspo]

So excited for these upcoming months superheavy, artemis 1 and hopefully more beautiful jwst images!

[@danswan1047]

So grateful for all the wonderful information being shared here. Not only informative, but entertaining as well. Many thanks to everyone involved.

[@Jeremy205-x2s]

SpaceX is getting things done in record fashion! I can't wait to watch these Starships launch and to watch Marcus House's videos on that. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming!

[@AFuller2020]

Getting what done? They had guys walking around the Moon 50 years ago...do we need a win that bad?

[@Cylius.]

@@AFuller2020 they're getting launches, tests, building rocket engines, and rocket ships in record fashion and making breakthroughs in reusable rocket engine technology. Yeah we had guys walking on the moon over 50 years ago... but we want to build bases on the moon and land a human on mars and build bases on mars. Do we need a win that bad? No, we just have bigger goals and better technology than we did over 50 years ago.

[@nickfosterxx]

Hey Marcus, long time viewer here. I'm one of those who leave captions on by default. When adding overlays such as the tweet at 6:50 it would be handy if you could lift them up out of the way so they don't get obscured by captions. Thank you. And high five while I'm here too. smiley face thingy.

[@MarcusHouse]

This is a good point. Will keep this in mind.

[@Life_42]

I love how all countries collaborate on space missions!

[@gregbailey45]

I love catching up regularly on the latest in space on your channel, Marcus! Thanks for all you do.

[@johnwilmouth1490]

Just wanted to jump in here and thank you for all the time ya put in to bring us this coverage. Keep up the great work. Look forward to every Saturday checking out your videos.

[@stratpac]

Great! as always. Thanks so much for these weekly updates - IThe best coverage of space activities on the net. Well done Marcus House!!!

[@danielroden9424]

awsome update! glad so many people from around the world are enjoying this crazy texas / florida activity!

[@jroar123]

Why is SpaceX down in Southern Texas in the first place. To build it, launch it, blow it up, and incorporate lessons learned into the next designs. SpaceX is learning a hell of a lot. Much more than Artemus.

[@brianwaugaman55]

I love these updates. Thanks for all you and your team do.

[@DarkenSeyreth]

Sadly Artemis is preparing for rollback now, due to Hurricane Ian. It will probably be another month before we see another attempt now. I guess the Starship vs Artemis launch race is back on! I just want to say Marcus I look forward to your videos every week. You have become my go-to source for all things Space-X related.

[@steveaustin2686]

Mid-October is the next window IIRC, so just short of a month. If Hurricane Ian goes far enough west, Oct 2nd might still work.

[@james_t_kirk]

*Excellent informational, graphical, and animational detail in all of your videos. And your rapid-fire narration works well with subject matter like this, serving to convey the excitement underway to reach the planets. I watch many videos, ranging from history to science to nature and your use of those pink, orange, & green directional arrows helps the viewer to immediately zero-in on precisely what you're referencing. A small thing, perhaps, but a technique I had not seen used before, strangely enough. Watching these videos, I'm reminded of the greatest explorers the world ever knew - the British Empire. With countries like India (and even Iran) plotting further missions, does the UK ever plan to build their own space fleet, using their own designs? Seeing the Union Jack soaring into the heavens bound for Mars would be impressive.*

[@jim2lane]

14:20 - A tenth of an inch indentation in the seal? That's very significant - 2.5 mm. No wonder they had such a big leak!

[@StingerNSW]

Thanks Marcus and to the entire team for the awesome update 👍

[@MichealColhoun]

Jam packed episode - Well Done!

[@timgifford390]

Nice job, the videos are getting denser with all of the exciting coverage. Even the credit roll is getting faster to try to fit it in! Great to see your continued growth!

[@andrewmorgen8359]

Wow! Thanks Andrew!

[@neilwoodmansey9109]

Thanks Marcus. nice update. connecting lots of Starships together would make sense for long duration trips. they could possibly make them specific to tasks, like accomodation, messing, navigation, cargo, etc. Might make for happier people, which is the most important thing (I think)?

[@David-dj7cl]

At 9:29 in the video you see a damaged booster recovery ship sitting in the water. When was this damaged and I am wondering why it hasn't been repaired yet.

I'm looking forward to a the consumer-level marine/RV Starlink system. Here at the dock in Key West, I get 2.3 Mbps download and .6 Mbps upload. Even 50 Mbps would be a huge improvement. 250 Mbps seems like an impossible dream. The system will need x/y gimbals under the dish to compensate for rocking of the boat and swinging in the wind at anchor. Capt. Blackheart Charlie Key West

[@aidenhuyghe2158]

HEY hey Marcus, love the updates... Where did you get your awesome Starship model in the background? (right side of the screen) your left Thanks!

[@andywarwick3745]

With WAI seeming to be concentrating more on different projects rather than the regular weekly updates I think you are going to see a very well deserved boost in subs. In all reality as far as simple clarity, and presentation, and translation from technical to layman's terminology, you both were the top hitters for this amazingly addictive subject. If you can work a few more deeper dives to pull in new subs starving for information from their usual source, I think you will grow very very quickly. I will drop you a message on Twitter at some point in the future to see if I can help in any way, although I think you and the team are simply put already a cut above. Keep pushing and please keep feeding us with these incredibly well-done presentations.

[@MarcusHouse]

Thanks for watching Andy. Working hard to cover everything at the moment. A tough balance to get right but glad you like what we are doing.

[@yumenokoyume]

Back then, I used to think that the booster will be just an easy task for SpaceX because it's just like a large Falcon 9. But now, it's seems it's as hard as the Starship. It's natural that they needed more iteration of the Booster. Because if Elon wanted this to be like a reusable airplane, it has to undergo a lot of test since there is no escape system

[@th3roomi342]

The next space race seems so exciting! I can’t wait for the first commercial STARShip voyage🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@morrighannarayvensong9549]

Nothing like my Saturday morning coffee and watching your latest episode!

[@3dagedesign]

I think SpaceX could create some retaining contraption , like the octograbber, to hold and stabilise a vertical starship or booster. so, i think they will be shipped, standing up, like falcon on the drone ships.

[@priceringo1756]

The United States is blessed with what we call an intercostal waterway. These are a chain of barrier islands almost along the entire south and east coasts that block truly rough seas. This encourages taller segment transportation.

[@josephraffurty9293]

Excited to hear Artemis fuel leak might be under control! Lots of hard working people on that project. It is too bad the ground station equipment has caused so many issues on this project. But despite that, they press on!

[@KevinDC5]

Hehe the ground station equipment, too, presses on!! 🤓👉🏼🔛

[@schrodingerscat1863]

It was still leaking and they had to go though heating and cooling cycles to keep the leak below acceptable levels. They also had to reduce pressure of the feed lines meaning it took much longer to fill than planned.

[@KevinDC5]

@@schrodingerscat1863 oh I understand. I’m just dropping some rocket punnage! That’s one small step for this man👇🏼 And I’m go at throttle up, past max Q 😎

[@danieldosen5260]

I read it was rolling back because of TS Ian - 9/27 is out.

@@danieldosen5260 If SLS belonged to Elon, he would launch it straight through the eye of the storm and call it a “Musk-room” cloud!

Allot of progress is being made on Booster, shows there confidence on testing, which is an great sign on getting to orbit.

[@sherrypeterson2315]

Fantastic videos!

[@AlexSchendel]

Watching that last Delta IV Heavy launch. That was incredible, ULA really improved their stream quality, providing uninterrupted footage straight from cameras mounted to the rocket, not unlike SpaceX has been doing. Much more interesting to watch than their legacy animated simulation of the telemetry data. Watching the RL-10 nozzle extension deploy was very cool!

[@xx_peace_xx5300]

3:36 It appears that SpaceX is still experiencing problems with their engines and that they are not yet entirely ready of being reusable because even static fire may harm them, let alone doing an orbital journey.

It would be super nice if you would do a video just about James Webb images. With your tight presentations and excellent information breakdown, it would really be a fantastic "one stop shop" to get fully up to date.
