Starbase Survives Hurricane Beryl, SpaceX Confirms Booster Catch, and NASA Mars Astronauts "Return"

Starship development has seen some big news, from Elon revealing that Starship’s 5th flight test will be in just 4 weeks, and SpaceX all-but-confirming a tower catch, there’s a lot to be excited for! We also saw 4 orbital launches over the week, by JAXA, SpaceX, Firefly and China, and the simulated return to Earth of NASA’s CHAPEA 1, who spent over a year living aboard a 3D-printed simulated Mars habitat!

Enjoy! Normally there is background music in these videos, but I thought I'd experiment without it. What do you prefer? Background music or no background music? Edit: the majority feel that the background music should stay, and so next week will go back to having background music again :)

[@williamharris2616]

Hey Matt

[@ZekeTheMan623]

Definitely keep the music - it’s an integral part of these videos in my opinion

[@amateuryoutuber]

Background music, it makes these videos feel comfortable, but without it, it feels tense and scary

[@aaronr7942]

I like that you kept in the transition sound effects. Let’s try this for awhile, it’s a nice, clean narration.

[@NobleTeamCommander]

I like the music!

[@isaacstewart2527]

The lack of background music threw me off ngl. No music really changes the tone, makes it feel more serious.

[@Kilomegaminx]

I know right!

[@limo1795]

i dint even notice💀

[@llliiimmmeee]

I like putting my own music on in the background. Makes it feel more personal. I also do it with Scott Manley videos.

[@anthonyperks2201]

I've had to unsubscribe from other content because the background music becomes too distracting. It never has seemed that way for this channel. But if I'm given the choice, I prefer no music.

[@DeepSeaFission]

Me, a former submariner looking at the Mars Habitat: "Wow, look at all the room for activities!"

[@RobFalcon141]

Accurate!

[@FerociousPancake888]

I wonder why they don’t use submariners as astronauts more often! It’s like perfect training.

[@MichaelWinter-ss6lx]

Imagine the nine months transfer in a NASA rocket, and you'll wish back the submarine. Even three day on Orion are torture. Try three days in an SUV, without even exiting to piss. 🚀🏴‍☠️🎸

[@Messier42-handle]

@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx i could probably pull it off, and also remember you dont need to stand or crawl on your knees in 0g.

[@a_dreamer8612]

When you said the words "transfer window," I was expecting a 45 degree angle between the sun, kerbin, and duna

[@Snoopsthecat]

YES

[@wannabewumpus]

say it with me now!

[@forgegamer3118]

No music in the background?

[@_general_error]

That starship flash looked quite like one of those early Li-ion battery fires... Dunno

[@Jerneee]

I make the fabric panels for spaceX’s hangar doors at my job and I’m glad to see they held up strong.

[@bhernhie4067]

Matt, can you do a starship mission to duna, set up a base there and then return? (please)

[@cjking7728]

S31 nickname ‘sparky’

[@agabe_8989]

the lack of music is... it feels weird tbh

[@gothesouthway]

Oh good, Starbase survived. I know it could survive the explosive force of 33 raptor engines at full throttle, but I wasn't sure if it could survive a gentle coastal breeze.

[@eliasdavey]

Matts cheeky little laugh 😂😂

[@bencezrinyi6761]

What a time to be alive!

[@ProjectBuildOnRRorRobloxFilms]

Another one in time matt enjoy your day!

[@aaronr7942]

Great update as usual, Matt. When are you coming to Texas to watch a launch? I need an excuse to make the 7 hour drive!

[@visyxl]

Forgot it was today!

[@sylvesterfalkeriksen8746]

u need to get that background music back, I love it, its so good

[@skeelo69]

You should have posted up a Survey. 😮

[@hue_jojo5736]

it is way more serious, i like it more with musik you can relax a little bit more to it without it feels very stiff. (sry if grammar is wrong im german)

[@bencezrinyi6761]

what a time to be alive!

[@nugs2727]

Thanks for keeping us informed of which day is a Monday, I always forget it's crazy

[@FerociousPancake888]

When Elon replied, he should have just said “K.” Then gave us that view lol

[@dominikmuller4477]

those are some ominous quotation marks

[@eamonthomas2215]

Planet Coaster 2 was just Announced

[@sconebonegames1630]

I’m excited for the launcher cache

[@filaptop]

I have heard that booster 11 expoleded before landing in the sea.... What is your thoughts @matt ?

[@AquaticCat647]

Oh it's Monday

[@Astro648]

no background music :(

[@patricklewis7636]

Firefly getting their act together is good news.

[@Boredom_B]

3:20 it’s a reply at least😅

[@montrosefamily8605]

Thank you for always trying to experiment and push your channel forward! I personally prefer the music! The music slows the video down, and pairs well with your well informed and positive/energetic narration! Keep up the great work chap!

[@ADonutMan]

6:10 As an introvert I see this as an absolute win!

[@Kubaszzz]

where music

[@cointhecat5325]

Woah!

[@LavenderCat175]

I LOVE YOU MATT!!!!

[@SteveHARDWATER]

Matt any chance you could try patching or somehow modding ksp1 to have rover tech similar to ksp2 rover tech?

[@lukamarko1037]

Space this week: Helping us space nerds survive mondays, one episode at a time

[@mihaelmihael3001]

Can you plz do more KSP?

[@WernherVonKerman.]

cool

[@dyland7350]

I like the lack of music so I can play my own!

[@nicosmind3]

Give me enough computer games and movies and shows to watch and I wouldn't even want to go out for those 3 walks

[@d_wow]

Matt lowne is awesome

[@Chrisanimations_]

Cool where is music 😢

[@Nick-yj9dt]

W episode

[@ISRO4LIFE]

hey Matt , you missed the update on the Agnikul's new rocket update

[@comediehero]

Where music? And where classic intro? It's been a while since I heard you say "Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of space this week". Always makes my day👍

[@thatdamnFERRARIguy]

Why is there no other comments

[@S1nwar]

forgot the music, eh?

[@jaxonwhite7646]

Hi

[@ewkerman4185]

They did not sim lower G.

[@vghfr69]

if you draw a line from kerbin to the sun to duna

[@darksars3622]

Wait Matt removed starship from his banner, does that mean were getting planet coaster videos again?

[@konkam744]

3 mins ago... That's unique

[@mindpotato]

i kinda like the no music, but its kinda offputting, better be safe and add that music back

[@arthurhufkens2337]

I think you should re-add the background music but with another music to make it diffrent

[@alexistaboada5759]

Y dont u try out scrap mechnic in place of ksp2 i hear a new update will drop in less then half of a year

[@captsonko.9345]

Space race is back no more wars.

[@skeelo69]

Matt..thanks for deleting the background music👍👍👍

[@JMansClan]

I miss the background music 😢

[@jasonmcgee7457]

5:32 sounds like a MrBeast video to me.

[@robertdrexel2043]

Hmmm... Considering that the whole thing with the Quartine didn't really effect me all that much. If I have somewhat stable connection with family and the ability to read things or play games I will not go crazy.

[@llliiimmmeee]

"up close view" spacexxx

[@DatInnocentGuy]

The first thing i noticed was the background music being gone and i honestly prefer it. The old track i *really* did not like. Maybe if it was changed i wouldn't mind but for now i preferred without :)

[@murasaki848]

6:02 I KNOW, without a shade of doubt, how well I'd cope: not well at all. I don't listen to anyone who claims they could without experiencing something along the lines of what I did. I've had a couple remote assignments in Alaska where I was not allowed to leave the living quarters without escort (polar/grizzly bear and weather threat), so I was stuck indoors for six weeks at a time in close quarters with people that, putting it diplomatically, I wouldn't have chosen to live with. We had to pile into a truck every day and get driven out to the tiny remote equipment shack we were working in. We were working 10+ hours a day, 7 days a week. To say the least I didn't enjoy much of it, and I was pretty stressed out by the end of each assignment. It was then I knew I didn't have what it takes to go to Mars.

[@TitanIV_Pad_Rat]

😊

[@R-BGamingUK]

Peip

[@TimberStiffy_]

the mars sim folks are probably a little wonky about now.

[@jesserutt7413]

Why did you put “SpaceX confirms booster catch” in the title and then immediately when the video starts you say “all but confirmed”. In other words they didn’t confirm it… they’ve hinted at it.

[@reaidididid]

use Vsauces theme song when u say something cool

[@thatbee4923]

Please bring music back

[@minmo2288]

I think nasa missed a trick with that test, people would 100% have watched a 24/7 live stream of that, could have earned some revenue seeing as they are always lacking funding, could even have patrons send recorded messages to messages to the crew for q&a type stuff, they do it on the iss so could be done on mars with delays.

[@nikosefstratiades6038]

were music???????????????????

[@Papershields001]

Imagine being locked in a industrial sized propane tank for 3 years. Thats what going to Mars will be like. Have no illusions and truly appreciate the incredible paradise that is our home planet.

[@fedsterdam]

gotta love when there are no views 34 seconds ago

[@N0lly_09]

Huh ?!

[@EricMeyerweb]

Without the music, I can’t tell by ear if I’m at 1x playback speed, or something else. ☹

[@sonnyburnett8725]

So when you took an X posters photo and used it as your sky background, did you ask they’re permission?

[@michaelbond569]

Beryl wasn't a major hurricane, just a category 1 hurricane. Hurricanes aren't considered to be a major hurricane until they are a category 3 storm, sustained winds of 125+mph

[@user-ux9sh8oi3k]

Am I safe in Tennessee?

[@bfox2543]

HELLO don't know why but i needed to type this as fast as i could to be first XD

[@awilliams1701]

I can't do it because of my dog. But otherwise, I actually prefer isolation.

[@williamharris2616]

Firsttttt heyyy mattt

[@ZSpace23000]

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Mkkl3782]

No views in 6s you fell off Matt it’s so jebover

[@RoBear-xo6zw]

Crew Starship is not a rapid launch abort vehicle , like the Crew Dragon capsule is… Crew Starship, needs to be modified and have a modified Crew Dragon capsule on top, for takeoff and landing. Crew Starship lunar lander, needs the Crew Dragon capsule on top as well, for aborting lunar landings and take off… Just relocate the helium pressure tank and rebalance the setup 🎉 The modified Crew Dragon capsule, will use the same location for the abort thrusters and have a pass through portal hatch located in the center of the heat shield 😂🎉… for Starship ingress and egress 🎉🚀

[@joge2]

Saveafox got hacked, dont fall for Starship IFT 5 streams frok a supposed space X channel, its nio the real space X, its a scam, dont fall for it
