Starship SMASHES Flight 6, & SpaceX Reveal WHAT COMES NEXT! - Space News Update

[@archierush868]

You forgot to mention that Today’s Falcon 9 flight was actually a record breaking flight for an individual booster with a reflight time between launches of under 2 weeks, (13 days, 12 hours and 24 minutes to be exact) and it was Booster 1080 which did it, previously flying on November 11th. Previous record was around 3 weeks.

will be pretty crazy when super heavy lands and lifts off again a couple hours later

Holy CRAP New Glen actually exists. I thought it was mythological like a Dragon or a Unicorn. 🤨

[@Papershields001]

Matt! The f150 is like thousands of pounds heavier and larger for this year than it was say 5 years ago. We Americans do love our pickups, but not as useful as you might think. Might I suggest something timely and festive that all your American viewers will understand: Frozen Butterball Turkeys

[@WilliamW0846]

SHIP 26 BEST SHIP!!!

[@robertheinrich2994]

I still don't understand why they sink superheavy. the issue is, that the engine bells contain serious amounts of hafnium. that stuff is expensive. in other words, it makes economic sense to retrieve the rocket, even after it crashed. EDIT: usually, a 10% hafnium alloy, and hafnium currently runs at close to 5000$ per kg. nothing to sneeze at.

[@Zacharysharkhazard]

It’s not time efficient to scavenge the ruined booster. SpaceX is very profitable and has a LOT of money in the bank; they’d rather lose the booster and any profit margins they could gain in exchange for focus towards progressing the program without worry of recovery, as the sooner they get Starship fully operational, the sooner the many, many billions will come in.

[@FoxBoi69]

rest in peace s26. you were the best ship in a long time

[@muhammadrizqanilmi1301]

I have a feeling the Artemis program is going to be scrubbed unfortunately. The cost is just too high😮‍💨

probably not for the coming four years as nasa is spacex's biggest client, spacex is owned by elon and elon is besties with trump

[@Objectorder]

A packed week? Nah this is is a buffet 😂😂

[@sych7]

woohoo! more cool space stuff!

[@MrJPI]

The 726 metric tons is the weight of the launch table that New Glenn sits on, not the weight of New Glenn itself. The rocket produces about 1700 metric tons of thrust, so it must weigh well over 1000 tons (maybe 1200-1300) , the exact figures seem to be hard to find.

[@bethaltair812]

I look forward to more ships, hoping for another Gravitas themed ship!

[@ryanb9749]

But that's just a theory! A starship theory! Aaaaand launch!

[@benjaminrickdonaldson]

10:16 that isnt HLS thats a tanker and a depot. Notice the lack of landing legs.

[@sun-i-gu3ss]

one of my friends was at that launch of the shepherd

[@_knave]

That water landing was perfection 🤌

[@Galacticempire6313]

thank you for information

[@jundergaming]

10:14 I think that’s a propellant depot not a HLS

[@teameh.w]

Its both, the white one is hls and the shiny one is the depot

[@jundergaming]

@ I thought the white one is the depot and the shiny one is a tanker

[@JulesVN]

@@teameh.w White one is the depot and shiny is the tanker. The white one doesn't have landing gear, landing engines and windows, so it can't be hls

[@teameh.w]

@@JulesVN ohh okay, but white means its made out of carbon fiber right? Why would they make a depot out of that?

[@jundergaming]

@@teameh.w it just has heavy insulation to keep cryogenics cold

[@98900945r]

Actually, the HLS is likely to keep header tanks to fire up main engines in orbit, just that they are not in the "header" section. While you can use cold thrusters to accelerate forward so that the fuel would settle back to the bottom of fuel tank, but their COPV volume is very limited. The design probably similar to those of the super heavy, i.e, in the down-comer.

[@basketvector7311]

2:08 doesn't it look like the booster plows into the water pretty hard? doesnt look like it hovered at all

[@aravpatel5228]

3:27 woah woah woah, if they didn’t include the banana, how would I know the scale??😂

[@MangoIite]

4 commercial airplanes

[@MangoIite]

2 for starship probably 2 for superheavy

[@eopoep]

There is no way, with the recent spate of tip over landings, that space X will attempt to land that original design. Expect something 1/4 that height.

[@Yomanager]

I find it interesting that the HLS only has 3 RVAC meaning it may be more similar to block 2 or 1

Ice AIS Baby is a play on Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice, popular in America (I don't know his popularity beyond my home country) in the 90s.

[@briefer666]

I am glad it did not crash on our heads

[@LogicPrism]

For those wondering this flight was not a failure. It gave SpaceX valuable data

[@Rat-nl1xe]

I wonder what spacex will put in the hold when they do a demo HLS . got to be a cybertruck/JCB and a atlas robot ? .clearing the ground

[@Dowskiify]

Matt's infographic suggests you can use Scott Manley's head in equations. But I'm wondering if that was meant as a free parameter or just an appropriate symbol for dV?

[@morph-]

Is there a reason super heavy wasnt recovered via a barge? Was it just too expensive or is there a deeper reason?

[@Vulmada]

Aha, so its starship hls thats getting the mission. I'm glad as it showes how private companies can expend, but I'm also sad, as (with my family dna history) I probly wont see it in my life time (I hope I am wrong tho)

[@DarthPotat]

January 11 is my birthday that would be awesome if it launches then

[@DaTurtle4356YT]

5:42 RIp the final remnant of the old starship :(

[@dannyboi4111]

Personally think at this point Blue Origin will probably land the first cargo/lander on the moon before SpaceX does. Both companies are making good progress but it just seems like Blue Origin are a little closer to achieving that goal that SpaceX.

[@awilliams1701]

I'm surprised they didn't recover booster 13. I'm sure they could have. They recovered the engine ring from flight 4. This was in better condition.

[@terraoftime]

My guess is because they are switching to Raptor 3 soon and also why keep an out of date booster that would probably cost about the same as a new one to refurbish after landing in the water

[@awilliams1701]

@@terraoftime I'm not talking about re-use. I'm talking about examining it. They're flying obsolete hardware for the data. I'm sure there is a lot they can learn from tearing these raptor 2's apart.

How can you say it smashes when it accomplished less from the same test?

[@imaginary_friend7300]

Maybe you don't understand that they were testing extra things.. The only aspect that went sideways was the comms tower. Otherwise it was a perfect flight.

[@niox1920]

there is more to the test than just catching it, and they want perfect conditions for every situation. It was probably still capable of being caught but they don't want to destroy the launch pad and tower before knowing the limits

[@illustriouschin]

Oh, I see. did less + apologists = smashes

[@ferestrod3242]

​@@illustriouschinyou are one ignorant man, every test is not the same, they have new components in each test and it's ok some of them fail, because that's the purpose of a *TEST* and the flight went mostly well, so yes, it did smash it

"An orbital refuel". That's a euphamism. It won't just need one. I don't know what bribes Elon has been doing, but no mission designer should think the HLS is acceptable.

It was the cheapest and most complete option available so what did you expect.

@@MrNote-lz7lh A rocket that can get to the moon in one launch, not ten? Too much to ask? Starship is objectively bad at being a moon rocket. The delta-v just makes no sense.
