Starship Flight 7: Why This Mission Is Unlike Any Other

[@dethangelishere394]

Marcus, i would like to thank you all for the work that you all do to produce these videos. i really appreciate watching every week.

[@JohnDoe-tx5hs]

Funny that you mention V2 rockets and that the SH Block 2 shouldn't be called V2, since Musk just wrote an article in a German newspaper where he openly support a German ULTRA right wing party that are filled with nazi types ( AFD) and under investigation by the German home security

[@bradspsychedelium]

Hey Marcus, I wonder if you might know the answer to this question: Why doesn't the starship dissipate some of its momentum by skipping off of the atmosphere a few times before a full reentry. Wouldn't that reduce the peak temperature and forces on its heat shield?

[@ousley421]

hard to believe you only have a half million subs...should be 10x that

[@come4t_a_bull]

Odoo has entered into a joint venture with Inspire - a CHINESE company! Why not send your data and monetary information to the world's largest sponsor of international hacking?... what could be the harm??!!! You think tik-tok/bytedance is ok?.. Wake Up Marcus.

[@anthonypelchat]

It's incredible to see how far you have come over the last 8-9 years now. You started off just playing KSP and recording on your free time. Now you have an entire team working with you and putting out some of the best videos on YTube. Great job man.

[@MarcusHouse]

Thank you, it's been a crazy ride!

[@Chuckt961]

This channel has become a treat I look forward to every Saturday. It's now my weekly routine and the only channel I actually watch consistently. I watch a lot of youtube and I'm not blowing smoke when I say this is one of the best channels for any content, not just Space related. Very well edited, written, and presented. For me, this channel is THE best for SpaceX and other space flight info. Hands down. Congratulations on continued success and see ya next week! Cheers!

[@tomwebster3249]

My sentiments exactly.

[@dragonfly-7]

@@tomwebster3249 Yeah, exactly ! Another advantage of this channel is that it seems not to try to do political influencing as other channels on this topic from time to time do. Marcus & team: Keep on doing it !

[@UploaderGuy3000]

I agree. However, the f9 section is getting repetitive. I feel they could be summarised at this point.

[@wk8219]

It was great to see you get a little emotional about it all at the end. It’s obvious how passionate you are about not only the subject matter, and making the videos as professional as possible but also about your team and supporters. I’m sure I speak for most when I say we all look forward to another year of awesome Saturday mornings with you and your team. Thanks Marcus.

[@MarcusHouse]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the episode. 🤩

[@michaelbond569]

One of the reasons I love Marcus House is that ending. Incredibly grateful, humble, and kind. What a great human, a great team, one of the youtube channels that I most look forward to during the week! Fantastic job Marcus and team!! Merry Christmas and happy new year!!

[@byronbesherse3703]

This has to be the best year in space flight. Since Apollo 14

[@MarcusHouse]

Watch out for 2025!

[@_MaxHeadroom_]

What was so special about Apollo 14? 🤔

[@Souljourney22]

The apollo 14 astronaut ed Mitchell told the truth why we will probably never return to the moon. Rocket fan boys don't know the history of apollo.😴

[@Indiskret1]

Great work all through the year, Marcus and the team! Don't think I missed an episode the whole year. Your channel are one of only two I always watch and sets the standard for how it should be done. Many, many thanks and a Happy New Year!

Thanks for the deep dive into the differences between Block 1 and Block 2 Starship, much appreciated!

[@johnbrant2454]

Wow, thanks for the comparison update! So many visual changes, not to mention the thousands that we can't see. Amazing graphics as always, kudos to the team. An amazing year of coverage by the entire team. I took a break from watching this video to set up my camera and record the SpaceX 11-3 launch from Vandenberg. I live about 90 miles south of Vandenberg, and stage separation happens right overhead. By the way it was another beautiful launch.

[@matthewakian2]

There’s stuff here that even a Starship nut like me didn’t know.

[@MarcusHouse]

Oh, working with Nick was essential on that. There were parts of the internals I didn't understand until we all wrote it together.

[@Odysseuss.]

Just to say a big thanks to Marcus "and the team" for all their hard work and efforts. Marcus, you are one of maybe .....two.... space [X] reporting channels who don't actually have any hint of an EGO. How refreshing. It is a pleasure to upgrade my membership tier to continue to support your channel.

Thank YOU Marcus and the ENTIRE TEAM!!! (That INCLUDES ALL THE AMAZING CONTRIBUTORS AND PATREONS!!!!!) - I would know NOTHING about this GREATEST LEAP FOR MANDKIND!!!!

The Aussie accent can perhaps take a bit of getting used to. Thanks for being here supporting the work we do.

[@johnrday2023]

With the new flap size and positioning - it is all about 'leverage resistance' (as well as heat resistance). Marcus points out many subtle, small changes that are likely to be very significant! Well done Marcus (and Spacex design team, for making improvements, and testing with each iteration! )

[@Sundablakr]

I love how they have baffles on the downcomer pipes to help with main tank sloshing that likely also serve as a form of structural integrity for the pipes themselves. Just the practice of SpaceX engineering where they try to combine or eliminate parts altogether is beautiful.

[@ajctrading]

Yeah, space X eliminating the need for a proper flame trench was brilliant as flight 1 abley demonstrated as it eliminated a good portion of Texas under that silly orbital launch mount

[@Nuke-MarsX]

​@@ajctradingWhat's the point of your comment

[@TheNheg66]

If you're talking about the ship downcomers then the "baffles" have almost certainly nothing to do with sloshing and everything to do with the structural integrity of the downcomers - they prevent the downcomer from collapsing on itself in the case of a pressure differential between the oxygen tank and the inside of the downcomer.

[@Sundablakr]

@@ajctrading Yeah that's crazy, a team tries something during early development, it doesn't work, and they fix it. What's wrong with that exactly? It's literally how trial and error works.

[@MarcusHouse]

Hi David! Glad you are on the road to recovery!

[@civwar64bob77]

The graphic at 10:06 really shows how much SpaceX has moved those front flaps. I wonder if this design also makes it easier to maintain stability, since any roll will bring a flap more into the airstream and thus push the Starship to roll in the opposite direction. (Similar to why most airplane wings are slightly tilted up - called a dihedral.)

[@Heathaze813]

Hey hey Marcus. Thanks for all the great videos this year. Happy New Year!

Outstanding break-down, love the detail differences between the block 1 and block 2 ships, really looking forward to seeing what the block 2 can achieve, always very watchable! thanks for the huge effort you and your team must have put into this presentation.

[@toddkorson6390]

V2 is where it all starts isn’t it?

[@dsmithwc04]

That was a weird bit in the video. I didn’t think about Nazis when I first heard V2 and it served no purpose whatsoever other than perhaps some subconscious virtue signaling.

[@JeffreyBue_imtxsmoke]

Without the V2, the moon landings get pushed out decades if not outright cancelled.

[@Sundablakr]

@@dsmithwc04 There is no way that you think Nazis = Bad is virtue signalling. Unless of course you think there is a reasonable argument on the other side for Nazis being good?

[@JeromyBranch]

Yes. The V2 was a huge advancement in rocketry and paved the way for future manned flight development. IMHO we can recognize that Nazi Germany was an evil Socialist empire, and still applaud the research and development done by the great scientists, who had no choice in the matter, but only wanted to do the work they dedicated their lives to. Certainly, we advance on the knowledge of our predecessors, regardless of our chosen field.

[@mikemars5984]

Well, you can go back to the Chinese and fireworks, and the next step was Robert H Goddard, the real father of controlled rockets. Incidentally you may forget the US Apollo programs were a military project in disguise.

[@FerociousPancake888]

I think it’s crazy how we’ve seen plenty of animations of both a booster catch and ship ocean landing. Now that we’ve gotten to see both of those things in real life, it’s actually hard to tell the difference between the animations and the actual landings. We sure do live in a really cool timeline. We’ve got our problems as a society but then we’ve got awesome stuff like this.
