[SCRUB] SpaceX Static Fires Ship 30 in Preparation for the Fifth Starship Flight

Thanks for the coverage

like watching grass grow thank goodness for you 2 and your commentary good job guys never understood why the media watches pre launch for 8 hrs i think its about 8 hours of static chilling phase then 45 secs of real action

That extended intro always gets me hyped!

Atlas V is going back to the VIF to replace the valve on the upper stage NASA and ULA is now targeting launch NET May 17th at 6:16 p.m. EDT for the first crewed launch of Boeing's Starliner capsule Calypso

I was not expecting a static fire for ship 30 before IFT-4

Hey great to be here just curious what is the difference concerning mission status between Falcon 9 and starship?

Hopefully, someday, they launch Starhopper on a booster, and send her into orbit.

I would be willing to bet that a second booster flight would almost have to become a reality within the next four launches, this means a launch a land, a refuel and starship and launch again… Holy shit this stuff is so awesome

Chaos crew for the win

I am from India

19th of may is the launch right

2:29:30 from what I have read there were more than just two things needed to make the Shuttle fly without pilots. It was a longer list, even for nominal missions. But the real problem according to NASA studies was that if anything off-nominal occurred during a mission with no pilots on board the Shuttles would be lost. So extensive modifications would be needed including enabling some remote commands from the ground to enable the Shuttle to handle at least some types of off-nominal situations. There is a NASA document titled "Autonomous Space Shuttle" by Jeffrey Siders and Robert Smith, they estimated that the cost to do the conversion would be in the "low billions" and they would still probably lose some Shuttles because even with modifications it wouldn't be able to handle every off-nominal situation.

O my!! Fuel transfer is easy on Earth, it's been done all the time! So you don't learn anything testing transfer from Starship to Starship because then both Starships function as tanks on Earth.

Lets hope space X works better than X/Twitter.

1:27... it will hapend...!

Not had 4 yet

I think the horse box is filled with doughnuts 🍩

Time stamp?

The ship is really a space truck, meant to ferry parts into space to build space stations. To build a galaxy class, star ships .that's the best vision for humanity.
