SpaceX Static fires their Gigantic Super-Heavy Starship rocket Booster. How did it go? SpaceXs 2nd starship launch tower is going up faster than a rocket. But it's still running late? SpaceX's new Block 2 Starship is now under construction. Is it really that much better? And NASA’s SLS Moon Rocket arrives in Florida for its first launch with people!

Will the upcoming Block 2 Starship perform a first payload deployment? What do you think? :_WAISweet::_WAIStarship:

The random firefly photoshopped in at 4:20 was a nice touch 😂

Watch out for those Fireflys, they tend to be manned with some rowdy characters.

The SLS as well as the Orion capsule may just be another NASA lemon 🍋

Lifted flaps on block 2 will make it easier go through reentry and advantage of mass

Bore Gel isn’t used for vertical drilling. It’s used for horizontal drilling. This means they will be running cables/pipes underground.
@blakeb1234 6 hours ago

The pit you asked about next to the new tower is likely a retention pit for the drilling fluid (Bore Gel) that will be pumped in and back out of the bore hole before the pipe is installed. When directional drilling, the hole is fully drilled before the pipe is pulled through. The drilling fluid is used during the drilling process to keep the hole from caving in before the pipe can take it's place.

I feel like it's going to need a hinge flange to keep the hinge protected.

Oh that’s actually kinda cool that they’re reusing space shuttle engines. It’s also kinda scary.
@peterclarke3020 6 hours ago

I always think that these animations showing the Booster being caught, show the Booster coming down too fast ! I would expect the ‘vertical catch speed of the Booster’ to be much slower. Maybe no more than 10 cms/sec at catch ? The animations seem to show it travelling at about 5 meters per second vertically ! - Clearly far too fast.

5:40 It is not a water basin. It has pilings - no pond needs those.

I really do think they'll need some form of rail transport system to move Starships to and from the launch and test sites. It'll be quicker, smoother and reduce the need for road closures.

Smooth haircut there Felix! Get singed by standing too close to static fire? 😂
