..imediatly after releasing starship for next stage, the booster should have some flaps to open, to reduce speed for 5 seconds or so,, before StarShip ignites for rest of flight..

[@jamescobban857]

Personally I watched the very first attempt by the US to launch a satellite live when I was six years old. I followed the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. I volunteered on a project in which amateur astronomers collected data to refine the orbit of the Moon to an accuracy of less than 100m. I was watching Walter Cronkite as Apollo XI descended to the Moon and heard "Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed." And I watched live as the ascent stage of the Apollo XVII rose as we abandoned the Moon. I cheered the early launches of the Space Transportation System and mourned when it failed. And I am fortunate to see Space industrialization begin an exponential growth.

I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next successful landing on the Moon - this time even staying upright. 2024 is shaping up to be a fun and productive year in the space industry.

G'day, Spit out that Kool Aid, you poor Spaced-out Kaydet...! When someone builds a Skyrocket a d sends it almost all the way to the Moon, but BEFORE they could land the thing they "Successfully" (Suck Cess Fully...) Snagged one of the 6 Landing Legs' "Feet" in the Regolith WHILE STILL MOVING LATERALLY ACROSS THE LUNAR Surface, And Then It CRASHED. That is what it is called, in ALL the best Aerospace Textbooks, when some Daydreamy Wannabe Fcuks-up their "ARRIVAL" to the point where their Machine finished up Lying down on it's SIDE, on the Ground - where it will require Blue-Collar Workers with Bulldozers to clear away the MESS...

[@Psi105]

PSA, Check your displate wall magnets are still in the middle of the brown paper. They sometimes move downwards slowly over time and eventually the displate can fall off the wall. Usually causing damage to a corner of the displate. The best solution I've found is a small run of superglue along the top between the magnet and the brown backing paper.

[@michaellee6489]

Good show, Marcus and Team. 1) Every time I see that hot-staging separation I want to stand up and cheer. 2) It's so easy to be distracted from science news nowadays... Thank you for bringing your sense of wonder and excitement to your channel. It really does keep us coming back.

That HLS news is the highlight of the week. with all those milestones completed, i think the HLS will actually be built quite fast

[@frkerd94]

Great job, Marcus!

[@danielleriley2796]

Those discharge wicks are for LIGHTNING. The static discharge isn’t that bad at all. Sure the wicks will discharge the static buildup as well but that static without the wicks wouldn’t do anything to the aircraft. When you have an electricity discharging from an aircraft or any unearthed thing the charge will ALWAYS continue to flow within the object until it’s at the sharpest thinnest point before exiting. With lightning when it leaves through that thin sharp point the energy concentration is so high that it literally blows the discharge point and the surrounding area away. The wicks work by being a highly conductive material, aluminium housing with carbon fibres as the wick, which attracts the charge and then the very narrow hollow aluminium shaft followed by a flexible plasticky covering tube almost all the way to the end, however that just really protects the carbon monoxide directional fibres that are not bonded together but like individual carbon hairs that are crimped inside the plasticky tube and the aluminium tube and that is riveted to the aircraft at the tips of everything. So the carbon fibres are very highly electrically conductive and because it’s not a solid rod but individual fibres then current is attracted to them the most because they are both extremely conductive and thin as a hair and there are hundreds in a bundle and every fibre end is so thin. This causes lightning to exits through these and that causes them to blow apart. Are they important? Very and are essential to safety. How essential? Well I have 14 000 hours flying aircraft in Australia and that includes flying 7000 hours in dash8 200 and 300 series. I could depart with only one single static wick missing on the entire aircraft. They are all up and across the vertical and horizontal stabiliser trailing edges and the last couple of meters of the wing trailing edges and also the wing tips. Just one gone is all that’s allowed, that’s it. They are each checked to be there every day for the daily inspection, the engineers before departure walk around and the captains before takeoff walk around, then by the captains after landing walk around and the engineers after landing walk around. So yeah, important. But… aircraft are all about weight and expense and ongoing maintenance and insurance and tomb stone engineering. What’s that mean? Well EVERYTHING on the aircraft is important or it just wouldn’t be on the aircraft. Seriously if the aircraft manufacturer could leave absolutely anything, anything at all off the aircraft then it wouldn’t be there. Even if it weighs just 30g. Really? Well yes the number of wicks on a dash8 are calculated and that means that one wing tip has one more wick than the other. So why not just add an extra wick to even it up? Well that’s 30g plus $$$ to build and $$$ for extra maintenance for 30 years of flying. That’s allot of money, tiny weight, extra drag that needs extra fuel and none of its required by LAW that was fought over to keep at the absolute minimum by tomb stone engineering (only engineer a fix when forced to do so because of FAR too many tomb stones being erected because of it)

[@kenhazelbaker4952]

GREAT explanation about function and design. Also GREAT discussion on ri$k management. Thanks for extensive detail on both. As a retired Sr Construction Risk Engineer for 4th largest insurance co. in the world I can relate perfectly to every aspect of your detailed presentation. Thanks

[@TlalocTemporal]

Would the risk from static increase at very high speeds, potentially even reentry? Especially considering those flaps are connected by joints where sparks could damage bearings.

[@Jamie_Elizabeth192]

Thank you for another great Saturday morning. It's just great that we are ready to see another starship launch. Have a great week y'all!!!

[@cheddar2648]

There is so much analysis of WHAT they are doing, but I am curious about HOW they are doing it from a project and people management standpoint. I would love to hear some Lessons Learned from the inside about how they make these complex operations look so smooth and effortless, because I know that it must be anything but.

[@InvestmentJoy]

Hoping it launches soon. Between Blue Origin finally making progress, and starship, it sure looks like 2024 is going to be an awesome year for space!

[@Half_Finis]

Are BO axtusly making progress though?

[@user-vr6pj1lt1s]

lol

[@arizona_anime_fan]

well BO managed to launch 2 heavily modified BE4 engines into space (I say heavily modified because both had issues on the test stand, not destructive, but simply not able to maintain stable thrust, requiring heavy manual repairs/adjustment before each could pass the testing regime.) with luck they can take the lessons from those two engines to make the appropriate changes to make the next ones more reliable.

[@Thomas-lh4hf]

" Blue Origin making progress " THATS RICH ! HAHAHAHA lmao they have an engine on someone elses rocket after 2 decades of work LMAO Most useless, money hungry, unsuccessful aerospace company of all time.

[@ni9274]

⁠@@Half_Finisthey are, but they don’t do the marketing campaign like space X so people like you just believe they don’t do anything. I’m sure one day nasa will understand their error when choosing space X since they’re so behind schedule

[@djfireblade]

Bring on flight 3!

[@mikerash-pc4jc]

Falcon 9 hasn’t stop being successful. The SpaceX engineers are the best in the space industry. The fact they were the first to launch a rocket and then land it in the same flight. Well that was outstanding.

[@imconsequetau5275]

The Delta Clipper was first, but was experimental and not a commercial booster. The SpaceX single engine grasshopper was the second experimental craft, based on a falcon 9 booster.

Water is more important for acoustic suppression than heat reduction although both are important . Always enjoy your channel

[@dead-claudia]

acoustic suppression is part of heat suppression at the scale of high power rockets btw

[@mikegonsalves11]

@dead-claudia actually acoustics can actually tear the rocket launch pad and payload into pieces. And while thermal damage to the pad and tower are serious concerns, I've never heard of it damaging itself or a payload, and after all if you don't have a payload you really don't even need the rocket. But thanks

[@denysvlasenko1865]

I know. For some reason, people think that exhaust is super hot, whereas in reality it's super FAST and *that* is the problem.

[@danapeck5382]

Thanks, more great content, much appreciated

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

It does seem a head scratcher as to what could clog the filters, but the potential damage to the plumbing from fuel slosh was mentioned by Ryan Hanson and Zach (CSI Starbase) and the idea that the mixing of the cryogenic fuels from a leak could cause freezing…which in turn could result in a sludge entering filters… Another idea mentioned by another follower of all this fun, might be that the baffles themselves detached from the fuel slosh and plugged the filters. Speculation is such fun. Thanks for giving us so much information to brood upon.

[@bernieschiff5919]

One-way baffles work in aviation, a large cone shaped panel with flapper valves blocking off the lower section of the tank could probably minimize the slosh seen in the simulations. My vote is for lights and a camera or 2 inside the tank(s) on the next flight, to see what the problems are. I'm surprised they haven't tried photographing this before.

[@up4open763]

A slosh of slush, sure could overwork pumps, or if there is a gas leak, an actual foaming somehow. I presume that vapor lock could do it.

[@up4open763]

@@bernieschiff5919 electric items in the middle of flammables? well.

[@denysvlasenko1865]

I'm sure SpaceX did have cameras (and pressure sensors) and they know whether sloshing was excessive or not. They just don't want to help competition by releasing all this data.

[@bernieschiff5919]

Yes, I agree, they probably have a series of solutions in the works which will be applied in the forthcoming flights. They probably don't want to give (the Chinese) any solutions for their reusable rocket program that seems to be a direct copy of Space X.I don't expect there to be specifics released about what they are doing behind the closed doors of the new factory facilities. Look for less transparency for the entire program in the future.@@denysvlasenko1865

Hey! Hey! Marcus!

[@LordOceanus]

The reason neither mission had an RTG is because they are very expensive and in very short supply. The US Department of Energy has only made 4 of the newest MMRTG units for NASA, one is on Curiosity, another on Perseverance, a third slated for Dragonfly. Each cost $109,000,000 to build and that was in the early 2000s. Suffice to say if they want an RTG on a mission it has to be a big ticket mission and for a government only project.

7:50 Great video as always Marcus. I do have a quibble with your wording here: "to make it harder to visualize" instead of saying "making it harder to visualize". The first implies the point is to keep us from visualizing the flame trench, the seconds is more accurate, in that the difficulty created isn't the point, but a side effect.

13:47 The allocated propellant for yeeting the payload was increased by improving the aft end heat immunity and shortening the reentry burn interval.

[@denysvlasenko1865]

Feb 25 F9 launch terminated its reentry burn at record high velocity - Mach 5. IOW: SpaceX has improved thermal protection / resilience of the first stage so that it can survive higher descent speeds - which translates into needing less fuel for the reentry burn. They olny had to decelerate from 2.3 to 1.65 km/s. dV=650m/s
