Marcus, you are light years ahead of all other space news related channels. I can tell you're an outstanding human and it really shows, genuine enthusiasm, a gift to us all. Keep doing what you do so well, Brother !

[@Seedy32]

My guy... This is the first video of yours I've ever seen and I'm really impressed. Fantastic information and analysis that I haven't seen from many of my other subs recently and ALSO great audio quality. Will definitely be sticking around for future development updates 👍

[@coltonmims8561]

Been getting weekly space news from him for 2 years🙌🏼

[@POTheta001]

His is the only space-related YT channel that I never miss!!!

[@David_Poole]

Welcome to the party. He's the best channel to stay up to date on space news. No rubbish, no click bait, just raw space news fast

[@rocroc]

No BS here...just one important detail after another with original content. Quite an achievement to put all of this together in just a week. Amazing work. Thank you.

[@corycrandell2682]

Im hoping one of these "dummy" satellites won't be so dummy. I'm hoping they'll put some cameras on one to see the starship from the outside. And possibly catch a shot of it as it begins to reenter the atmosphere. That would be cool.

[@Lowell1970]

Now that's a great idea !

[@varietyegg]

I think that would not be shown and maybe shown in recap video

[@torgeb6238]

I just love your videos. The way you condense all the updates into easy to understand, coherent messages (both for people with and without experience in the aerospace sector) is wonderfully done. And on top of that, you even collect all these amazing shots showing exactly what you're describing. I love watching these before an upcoming launch, because they tell me what to be looking for, what to expect in terms of the flight schedule and even what's inside the launch vehicle. Thanks Marcus!

[@surfdoc27]

Marcus in the House🎉

[@BMrider75]

Bravo Marcus. Another excellent updates video. I'm looking forward to you, Scott and Fraser doing a postmortem analysis for IFT#7, and NG1.😊

[@JLG331]

Yes, I love the analysis videos with you, Scott and Fraiser! I would definitely sit through a 2 hour video of you guys talking about both flights.

[@patrickgrassey2290]

Hello from NH, USA! LOVE my Saturday mornings with Marcus!!!

[@dusty121]

Thanks for the update

[@cipedead0777]

Love what you do. Have not missed a week. Thank you for keeping it real for us.

[@tmuny1380]

I can't wait for starship to be launched in its final rendering with crew cabin life support system and simulated weight of crew and supplies rather than launching a hollow tube with a banana hanging inside !

[@samuelpeterson7043]

Probably in 5-7 years

[@davidkillens8143]

Thank you for the video. Up here in Canada it is cold and dreary. You bring a breath of warmth and sunshine. Like many, I watch different sources. But somehow you bring the joy and enthusiasm to this amazing endeavor.

[@DouglasJMark]

Thanks Marcus. Wow, such a jampacked video of information that I had to watch it twice again. Looking forward to starship flight seven and your future videos as always. Lots of love from Toronto.❤❤❤

[@patpozzuto4809]

Awesome as usual, concise and informative!!

[@peter.wilson]

Falcon 9 typically carries 21 x 260kg Starlink satellites (5.5t) while Starship will likely transport 54 x 800kg Starlink V2 satellites (43.2t).

[@wk8219]

15:29 LISTER is the most crowbarred in acronym that ever created a Red Dwarf reference in the history of space flight. OK, perhaps the only one but dang I think they were reaching a little on that one. Still cool having a Red Dwarf reference though.

[@rivimey]

Good update though I was hoping to find out what happened to delay ss7. Could you do a roundup on the state of Mars exploration? Like what challenges are being addressed now and what remains unclear?

[@teaser6089]

I hope the catching pins work in the current state, but it will require multiple re-entry testing cause you never know if the material weakens with each new re-entry event. If it does not workout I really think having a retractable setup really is the best option

[@airborneal2764]

Thank you for making such great, informative episodes, Marcus. Please give my best to the entire team. Exciting week ahead!

[@JandJAirlines]

Great video Marcus! I think the sample return mission should be with starship. What a great first Mars mission!!

[@PDLM1221]

WOW Space X has launched that one booster 25 times !! Unbelievable! What a fantastic piece of machinery!

[@TaeSunWoo]

The only way I’m early to these is by not going to sleep

[@mayro4803]

The giant disk tray is cool.

[@Shattered3582]

I really think you should give more shoutouts to these smaller but talented people. we really have to get more people excited over space if we want to colonise it. amazing episode as usual, and I am really excited for 2025

[@richb2229]

It’s amazing that we have so much detail on changes to the booster and Starship. It’s really important that the change around Starlink satellite deployment is going on this early in the development of Starship. Hopefully we will see orbital deployment of these satellites later this year.

[@robfive2555]

Here we go again. . Gonna be an exciting space year hopefully As always Thank you MH + Team for for an excellent upload

[@benjaminfranklinkivettiv9433]

[@karlwest437]

Maybe they could add rubber rollers to the chopsticks, so during a catch they'd roll along the ship rather than scraping it, like they put tyres on the sides of ships to stop damage when they move alongside a dock?

[@just2it874]

Rubber is problematic during start and landing, as even with the arms stretched out as far as possible, the heat of the launch/landing would probably damage the rubber. Yet the idea of rollers is great.. good thinking.

[@karlwest437]

@just2it874 they could put them behind some protective covers and only retract the covers during the last few seconds of a catch

[@spacexvanityprojectslimite3315]

More complexity is always bad, the system they have works.. So why the f change it?​@@karlwest437

[@worri3db3ar]

​@@karlwest437 if the covers only expose the rollers in the last few seconds then what would be the point why not just stick with current "chopstick" catchers?

[@karlwest437]

@@worri3db3ar just trying to think of how not to scrape the chopsticks along the ship and rip tiles off, that's why they've removed rows of tiles, to test if they can get away with it, but then the ship gets hot

[@XxKINGatLIFExX]

19:50 if I a girl ever tells you that 4.5 inches insn't enough, you can now say well it was enough for the parker solar probe to pass the closest it has ever been to our sun.

Don't bother. I'm sure she's not that hot anyhow!

[@charlesblithfield6182]

Marcus: it looks like the tiles get thinner toward the edge where they end as they wrap around the ship but I’m not sure. Are the tiles of variable thickness depending on location?

[@delillod]

21:25 they could send a starship with a couple of tesla-bots optimus… to walk around, take the samples and perhaps perform analysis onsite in the starships

[@gregwall9813]

Great video

[@MarcusHouse]

Thank you!

[@dominicdodd9759]

$7.7 Bn would pay for a lot of on-planet sample analysis science.

[@tomray8765]

I wonder if they will put a camera on one of the dummy satellites--- That would give a great view of the ship in space.

[@cipedead0777]

Is that a week already. Wow

[@RonColeArt]

The guys working on the lunar lander at @15:07 are wearing their masks below their noses and the guy right behind the lander appears to be wearing no mask at all. So you see, the whole concept of "we need to take every precaution to keep these things sterile so we don't contaminate the lunar environment with biology from Earth" is pretty much a joke. This is the same behavior we saw for a couple of years during covid, people walking around wearing masks over thick beards so the air just flows around them, rubbing their mouths and noses with their hands under the mask - then touching every keyboard and doorknob around them. I mean seriously, either wear the protective masks correctly or don't wear them at all... pretending doesn't work. (Edit: just noticed the guy working on the lunar rover at @17:33 also has his big fat nose sticking out over his mask, rendering it useless)

[@hajibada715]

well the 15:07 masks are only to prevent the facial hair from falling anywhere, they serve no other purpose, hence why the guy with no facial hair behind the lander isnt wearing one

[@Supraboyes]

Erm, they are actually just hair nets, the guy you see not wearing one is because he doesn't have a beard.

[@Rxke]

They're wearing it correctly, they're mouthbreathers ;-) On a more serious note, looks more like hairnets?

[@jefitz]

Masks dont work

[@hoobaguy]

Take another vaccine. I'll bet you wear a mask when you're alone in your car.

[@koijoijoe]

The Mars sample return prices seem so insane. But it will be alot different and interesting in the future when there is some standardization and commercially available vehicles/robots going to the moon and then Mars, just like we have with the launch rockets now. Theres no real assembly line for anything that lands on another planet/moon lol. Im really excited for these moon landings right now, i hope Firefly does well. These terrestial missions are what we are doing alot of this for! Its not all going to be more Starlink satellites lol

[@davidguy209]

i know this is a lot to ask for: could we have dates on the photos and footage in your videos? eg. next to the credits, in the corner

[@clarencehopkins7832]

Excellent stuff bro. Go Elon

[@otpyrcralphpierre1742]

I'm curious....I wonder if the Booster is more expensive than the Ship, or the other way round?

[@erfquake1]

Wouldn't it be more practical to install a recovery chute on the hot-staging ring rather than have it get mangled by water impact?

[@caribbeanman3379]

You know, if we get enough of these powerful rocket engines installed horizontally, fixed to the ground and all facing the same direction, it should be possible to run them long enough to speed up earth's rotation just enough so that a year would equal exactly 364 days. Then we could have a perfect calendar consisting of 13 months, each of which is consistently 28 days. One calendar that remains valid for every year going forward!

[@rconger24]

With the loss of comms, did Starship 7 make it down? Or did it just crash someplace? Link?

[@OmegaGamingNetwork]

I was sad about this delay, the delay till monday took away my ability to watch it live. :(

[@modelmaker007]

The new nose hardware under the pyramid shaped tiles is probably an oon orbit deployable star tracker range finders, etc. Both needed for lunar activities. Just a hummble guess.

[@Makeaustraliagreatagain-h8u]

Gidday Marcus, Will you be covering Gilmore space, launch, from Queensland, Australia.

[@michaelmaultsby895]

I wonder if the people that came up with LISTER will send a KRYTEN, later. Season 4 of Red Dwarf was my favorite.

[@peaceofmind2769]

For Starlink sats to download into the Starship they could build an elevator along one of the walls of a Megabay to lift a bunch of the Starlinks and a site on of of the walls with a special conveyor. Starship should be turned its payload door to the conveyor.

[@riparianlife97701]

So BO flight this year?

[@williamlambdin9817]

Question: Do you know why New Glenn is launching in the dark? And, I appreciate your channel and the excellent job you do each week without using hyperbole, or false or misleading clickbait like many other channels.

[@NathansHVAC]

[@Fish_Ventura]

Thx Marcus

[@michelhegeraat5430]

Really wondering how they will prevent starship from starting to rotate once they start deploying the starlink simulators. The renders of the deployment seem to ignore this. You cannot expect it to not to react to ejecting mass in one direction.

[@supersonic79]

🙋🏻‍♂️Will the dummy Starlinks completely burn up on re-entry?

[@ANGRY_AMERICAN]

If 3 r vac engines are not enough, I wonder if the added weight of 6 r vac configuration would be more efficient than 3r vac and 3 sea level. The sea level would are mainly only used for landing

[@echomande4395]

I really really hope that some of those dummy Starlinks have webcams to observe everything and that SpaceX will share at least part of the video live.

[@David_Poole]

I think it would be cool to let rocket lab have the mars contract.

[@smavtmb2196]

I doubt those non- structural external catch pins will survive exposure during reentry. SPACEX will likely need retractable ship catching points/arms. Also how are they going to prevent the stainless steel from being badly warped again in the areas they removed heat tiles? They need to solve that problem or ships can't be reused.

[@peter.wilson]

Maybe SpaceX will adopt a creative iterative naming convention similar to Android versions.

[@BellumW]

They should hurry up and send People to mars to return the samples!!

[@John-jb7nv]
