      Elon said they will use a "virtual tower" at sea before a physical tower at stage zero. That will serve as the dumb tower. GPS is accurate enough to get the precision calculated. Still that physical catch event is going to be something to see!!

    • @ClayMann

      the problem is the ship itself is an enormous bomb so having some pretend tower built, it would need crazy approval in case it came down near where people live. Its probably much more simple to do it over the ocean to start to nail the accurate movement at the last moment but it would look super cool seeing it do a pretend land on a real dummy tower!

    • @bryanillenberg
      @bryanillenberg Před měsícem +1

      A catch tower will never happen.
      The second towers purpose has been confirmed to be launch.
      The damage from a failed catch is likely less than IFT-1
      The catch tower would be incredibly difficult to upgrade for launch.
      The catch tower would require an OLM capable of detanking the booster.
      The catch tower would be extremely expensive, and a most likely 2-3 use item.

  • @TheMotoracer838
    @TheMotoracer838 Před měsícem +30

    I believe SpaceX needs to separate launch and catch functions. A dedicated tower for catching won't need any launch support hardware and won't require stopping rehab on the launch tower every time a booster or starship needs to land.
    Another reason would be to prevent damage to the launch tower if something goes wrong during catch operations. it's not the same as landing a falcon, the booster has to basicly hover while the arms move in to capture.

    • @yujinhikita5611
      @yujinhikita5611 Před měsícem +16

      but the whole point of them being together is so they can instantly get the next launch ready, if separated they need to transport it every time, that's too slow for their plans.

    • @WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou
      @WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou Před měsícem +4

      @yujinhikita5611 we understand spaceX's goal, but its just over the top and not realistic.
      Incremental approach makes more sense.
      30day turnaround for falcon 9?
      Why not a 7-10day turn around for early starships? This heat tile issue is NOT gonna be fixed any time soon. 10day turn around would be 3 launches a month. Thats orders of magnitude better than anyone else on the market and would actually allow engineers at spaceX time to come up with permanent solutions to the issues we are seeing.

    • @appliedfacts
      @appliedfacts Před měsícem +8

      Landing on the launch pad is a really crazy goal. So many little things could mess it up (a gust of wind hits the ship, a fluxuation in an engine output, whatever!). The precision will have to be within inches. I am not optimistic for success BUT with time, effort and money majic can happen. I agree with you on a separate catch system, at least in the near term. The cost of a single failure would be very high but that is why they are already building mulitple launch towers for redundancy.

      I don't think they will attempt to catch booster on ift5. They will attempt only if ift4 will be able to do everything perfectly. And let's be honest, that will not happen. I am hoping that ift4 would b able to hover and soft touchdown, but adjusting software and address problems with precision would be possible after that. I would be very positively surprised if there will be catching attempt on ift6.

    Ten Mars Starship launches per day x 6 tanker Starship launches per Mars Starship = 60 Starship launches per day. How many towers? 60 Starship launches per day/4 launches/landings per tower per day = 15 towers. Scary numbers.

    I am happy to see at least one change I felt necessary, and that is the larger hot-staging segment. The current one seems tiny, and the booster forward dome seems to be too close to the engines.
    It's also nice to see finally the change in the flaps. Been a long time since it was suggested.
    I am starting to accept that this is roughly the final shape of the ship.
    We got a feedback about the future size of the ship, Raptor 2 and 3, their output and rough timelines, the engine shielding question too.
    So a lot of priorly discussed questions have been addressed.

    I'll go out on a limb here and conjecture that SpaceX will not attempt to catch a booster until they have a second tower. That second tower will remain the catch tower until the booster catch procedure is ready to be released out of development to production. SpaceX would be wise not to risk their production launch platform.

      In my mind the piping would only be one supply line to each additional Falcon booster and enough storage tanks to support them.
      Expanding the water deluge would be a job, true enough. That would at least require several more storage tanks and some additional perforated plates. Probably some redesign of the launch mount but maybe the Super Heavey could be reinforced to hold Falcon boosters on its own.

Guys look at russian hot staging sections of rocket, they are built with long metal stiks with spike designed connection to minimize accumulation of extra heat and pressure during separation 🔥 🎉 Go Starship 🎉 Go SpaceX 🎉"
