What are your thoughts? Could the second tower in Florida be planned for SLC-37 or LC-39A?
What if... The new tower is for the catching barge...🤔
Ambulance chasers..not a great thing to support.
Felix, when you discuss launch sites, towers and and landing sites, could you please throw us some graphics and maps. (Not everyone knows that Boca Chica is in Texas, and maybe some foreigners are unaware of the multiple launch sites at Kennedy).
@@belledetector You want him to throw up a map every time they discuss launch sites? I'd suggest anyone that doesn't know simply bring up another tab and punch it in on google maps. Or just ask your phone where it is.
Nothing that SpaceX does to this series of rockets bothers nor even surprises me, seeing as how these are mere test-beds.
Sea dragon 150m, starship v3 150m
How eide was the sea dragon?
The sea dragon is about 3x as wide compared to starship

I still dream about Sea Dragon 😂
When will we see a Sea Starship?

@@mattgaming8717 Amen!
@@benjaminmeusburger4254both are cool but the starship is big and innovative and complex in one.
Can't wait to see a super heavy catch. Seeing one of those glorified grain silos launch is already mind blowing. Watching the tower successfully catch one would probably make me spontaniously explode
grain silo? thats a skyscraper
Nah, glorified sewer pipe
Why do you promote hate?
Yeah, I have no clue about my reaction. Best to just look away from my camera when it happens. Might be embarrassing for me.
It's a glorified windmill base with fuel.

Don't worry you won't have to since it's not happeneing.
Don't know how many people know this, but the tighter packaging on the raptor 3 components is thanks to the advancements in 3D printing over the years and SpaceX's experimentation with what they could acomplish with it.
Great episode. Thanks for the update
Good show, great pace and edit.
Thanks for the update Felix, you rock
You’re very welcome! ❤️
these videos are great
Injury law firms seem sleazy. I wouldn’t want them as a sponsor.
Ambulance chassers
don't be so judgemental
nice work felix
The Super Mario power-up edits were awesome! I literally laughed out loud both times. Love the channel! Keep up the great work!
what a great vid
Love it! You guys rock!
Excellent stuff bro
Knowing SpaceX they’ll build a mechazilla in the ocean.
lol, that’s what I was thinking
That would help SpaceX to speed up the process with licensing ❤❤❤
Nahhh cap in the ocean there would be even more problems... think about how much damage only the sound of ships is making to the environment
That is actually their plan
The rigs concept 🤔
Since the tower is always getting beat up by the fire, maybe they should put tiles on that lol
I think most of the damage that's occured isn't necessarily from the heat of the thrust, but from the....thrust...of the thrust
Dats suntan thank bout uh huh
Wow, this is going to be two years of incredible progress. Go go SpaceX.
Subscribed. I love your Enthusiasm and share it. ❤
Awesome update!!
A big concern will be the length of time for an accident investigation if there is a RUD during landing … I hope they plan to always have a launch tower available, i.e., don’t land until the second tower is able to at a minimum catch …
during landing they wouldnt RUD, its only done when you cant predict where the rocket could land with potential danger to public. and because its almost empty, it wont eplode in a giant fireball if anything happens, it would jsut fall to ground and crumble like a tin can
@@The1QwertySky I haven't looked into it in detail but when they tested Starship landings they also had almost no propellant left and they still turned into a huge fireball.
@@The1QwertySky RUD is unscheduled, not necessarily intentional.
@@The1QwertySkyDamn dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@felixkuhn1239 But it's quick. I think it's a flair up from gaseous Methane. Won't melt steel or damage concrete and little blast wave.
Awesome! I was waiting for this video!
your right about that cant wait to see you in person
Excellent content. Between you and Marcus Howse I feel like I am always on top of what's going on at SpaceX.
You would think they'd build a 'dumb'/simple tower for the first booster catch attempts, seems a bit crazy to risk damaging the launch mount, tower etc
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!!
@@appliedfactsa lot of things can go wrong during the catch itself, moreso with the high presicion required by the mechanism they selected. I don't think we will see any mechazilla catching soon, if ever.
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!
There are therories that is what the second tower they are building at Boca Chica will be for.
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.
This was a solid report. Thank you....
Great episode
Gday from Oz !
That was one of the most interesting episodes in a long time. Thank you for creating this.
Thanks Felix!
It must be amazing to be part of SpaceX.
Extremely progress ....nice work 🎉🎉🎉
Epic Episode....
Thank you Felix... For bringing such an informative episode. You rock :D
Thanks!
THE SHOT OF THE BOOSTER FIRING IS JUST EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
@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.
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.
@@WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou You mean a 7-10 weeks like it was for the first Falcon 9.
@@WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou
" just over the top, and not realistic"
How many times have those words been proven wrong, when it comes to SpaceX.
The high bay is quite rusty already. It seems those weather conditions are quite harsh there.
The harshest on earth, warm, humid and salt laden.
This was EPIC!
Cool updates 🎉
16:38 The booster engines are not all on the same height on v2 an v3. Could this just be to move the dome of the lower tank further down for more capacity or does it help the engines in some way (with steering or something)?
It might be both or just a little precise render from SpaceX. We'll have to wait and see. It would definitely look awesome!
i find it amusing that spacex always seem to be botching things together, like all those tiles looking like junkshop cast-offs, but then it turns out it was all going to plan, even if that plan was for something to fail so they can make sure it doesn't fail next time. and once again shout out to all the people involved in building this dream, 24/7 dedication.
Progress seems slow on tiles, they've failed 3 times in a row. No improvements there.
@@leschortos9196to be fair they only got 1 chance to proove themselves ift1 and 2 didn’t even get to reentry
@@mirochlebovec6586IFT3 also wasn't able to properly test heatshield. Ship was tumbling during re-entry. I hope for ift4 proper test of heatshield.
@@just_archan Yeah almost forgot about that. It’s impressive that it survived so much of the reentry going ass first.🤣
@@just_archan Yeah, which is why it's weird WAI mentioned Spacex got a lot of good data on the tiles. I doubt it. Although they probably did get good data on the overall stress and heat resistance of the steel, which is nice.
Were it made out of normal rocket materials it probably wouldn't have lasted that long, which is probably why tiles coming loose isn't bound to worry spacex that much... for now
Cada lançamento é histórico, muito emocionante e com imagens simplesmente maravilhosas!
Hi Felix, greeting from Wales

Thank you!
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR SHOW IN A WHILE AND IT IS STILL BRILLIANT AS ALWAYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:24 that was quite the bass drop on my stereo
We'll lower it a bit in the future.
"That was unexpected!"
IFT5 could be one of the largest risks they’ve taken
if they make it that would be legendary
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.
Never going to happen dont worry.
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.
Yeah, good things in both SpaceX and in making this video!
Congratulations from INDIA 🎉🎉🎉
Your channel is the best.. You managed too make it fun each time I Watch. I thank you!
@Whataboutit Wouldn't it be cool if there was a camera platform stationed near the planned "Virtual Tower" landing of Super Heavy for IFT4? To capture footage of a successful "landing" from a terrestrial observers viewpoint would be stunning!!
The rocket can not launch until the weight of the paperwork equals the weight of the rocket.
Can't wait to see SpaceX plans for their initial use of propellant free propulsion as described by NASA.
Good job
Another quality episode.
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.
Two towers.... !!??? And the all-seeing eye of Starlink?? You heard it here first. 🙂 It I think the virtual tower hover tests will tell them enough to make it work. Two towers to double launch capacity *and* provide redundancy sounds like win-win to me.
I love WAI. I love SpaceX. I love Starship... It is SUCH a breathe of fresh air to see some are looking WAY ahead for the human race, consciousness and LIFE itself. Amazing job you guys, thank you for constantly feeding hope and excitement, from SpaceX and beyond, and into my brain :) Like I said, I love you guys
I smashed the Like button and my screen cracked.
Very Cool Dude !
Starship V4: its gonna be starship V3 with 2 extra boosters straped to its side falcon heavy style.
I think they could actually use Falcon Heavy boosters on the side of the Super Heavey booster. Some structural reinforcment and up it goes. The Falcon Heavey boosters can already land themselves too, I am pretty sure.
@@appliedfacts Designing a launch infrastructure for this with launchmount, piping for propellant and so on would be a nightmare, not to mention the integration of such a stack
@@dionysschub5350
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.
So, yeah...like you said. BUT like Elon said in his presentation, "It all started as an empty beach."
@@appliedfacts Even if it is technically somehow possible, it contradicts SpaceX's goal of rapid reusebility and a high launch frequency as SpaceX aims for, and by the way, the cost per launch would grow substantially. Shure, it would be cool but from an economic point of view there is no point of doing it.
I like how, with each iteration, the booster is becoming increasingly similar to the N1 first stage.
I'm half expecting for the third generation to have a truncated-cone shape instead of the cylindric one 😁
And just like the N1, it will more than likely not work right either.
@@TheGreat_Kramer1 what, did you watch the last launches?
@@TheGreat_Kramer1 N1 would have worked and Starship WILL work. Perhaps not 1,000 launches and a Battlestar Galactica fleet every 2.5 years but it will work.
The only thing is the money burned in the process of getting starship to work.
@@earlpelton9630 Still nothing compared to SLS, N1, or Saturn V. SpaceX spends about 2bn$ every year. That includes every falcon 9 launch, all the infrastructure they build and of course the starship program. Compare that to the ~25bn$ nasa has or the 840bn$ the us military has...
Thanks so much for creating and sharing this educational and entertaining video.
😮 4 MONTHS AGO 🎉 I have commented on the second flight test preparation video posted by SpaceX 4 months ago exactly this: "⚡Starship hot staging section is too short in height and I think it could not resist the pressure of second stage ignition during separation. ⚡ I have said this at the first time I saw it ⚡ And I think the reason for failure of the second flight test was exectly that... that ignition of the second stage damaged booster and itself during separation 😢. 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 🎉"
design is always subject to change but surely it has to be with data so not that your wrong or right it is all about design sometimes you have to try something new even if it seems wrong
2nd person to watch this. You may call me a WAI superfan😏
Excellent update! Thank you Felix and Team! GO IFT-4 !
This is a good one !
We would have lost the race to the moon if Apollo had to jump through all the hoops in paperwork that Starship and SpaceX has.
You are wrong because they did and they were the best and they are still had the best result and NASA prove it everytime with all their launch or rover to Mars or for their space telescope etc etc..
@@joannewilson6577 Joanne, really? You're insane if you think the regulatory burden of 1960's Gemini and Apollo is the same as 2024 in literally *any* sense. They had good results because they were competent and motivated. SpaceX is just as competent and motivated, but they are slowed by regulation. We'd be on flight 6+ by now easily if it weren't for silly regulation.
@@jackinthebox301 You are wrong!
SpaceX was not stop by regulations they were stopped by Elon addiction to risk that destroyed the launch pad and if they were stopped like you say they would already have 2 or 3 starship ready to go but they do not have any!
You are delusional!
With no regulations Elon would already had destroyed the launch pad a lot more....and many more times....
@@jackinthebox301 BTW if NASA didn't save SpaceX from bankruptcy in 2008 SpaceX will not even exist and if NASA didn't give SpaceX hundreds of millions in SUBSIDIES for R&D for the Falcon 9 and Crew and Cargo Dragon....and after NASA paid half of the Falcon 9...
And the billion for the Starship....
SpaceX is a sub contractor for NASA since 2004.
Musk has to have the capacity to build more of everything, so breaking the first tower is just part of a bigger plan.
The faster he moves, the faster he knows what to do next in the refining process.
The faster to cash flow.
Musk has the best engineers.

Someone commented on FT1 that Starship would NEVER reach orbit. They were so absolutely convinced of their opinion that I was astounded.
I wonder where they are now? Probably still looking for a place to stable their horse.
when did Starship reach orbit ?
OMG! It's so exciting!
I am looking forward to the next flight test. FT4 should be awesome. Thanks, Felix & team. 👍
An excellent summary, Felix! One of your best. Cue the elongated Felix memes. 😄
Awesome!
Honestly, they should just dedicate a tower to just "catch" the rockets instead of possibly losing the launch and recovery pad at the same time.
I love this channel
Good video!
I need more only Starship dedicated episodes
Considering the proximity of the towers at Boca Chica, yes, I think that co-location of towers in Canaveral is actually feasible.
For some reason, the webpage you linked (WhatAboutit) isn't updating the launch schedule properly. Will this be fixed soon?

Hi Felix, greeting from Mars :)

would think a landing tower or two would be the ticket.. set the booster right down on a transport.. simpler, seperate ..
