    Today there are a lot of interesting signs popping up that the first orbital flight test of the SpaceX Starship Finally Set to Launch. The Official Launch Target Confirmed! Yes, the stage is set once again after almost 2 years. Dual Falcon 9 action, sending both military and commercial hardware into space. The crew for Artemis II has been confirmed, and a surprising robotic mission that will venture to the moon. Yes! Astrolab here dropped a bit of a bombshell, as they will be sending a rover, currently named “FLEX” to the surface of the Moon.

    I haven’t felt this much anticipation since the Christmas of 1972. I was eight, and had asked Santa for an Evil Knievel stunt cycle. 🎁 I woke up at about 4am, ran down the steps, and when I saw all those presents under the tree, I just knew my dream was about to come true! 🫣 Well, I’m 58 now and I never did get that Evil Knievel stunt cycle, 😢 but I sure hope I get to watch the Starship fly. The anticipation is killing me! 😬

      It was really impressive, but even just the unloading animation from crane to deployment seems like there are huge terrestrial applications this kind of autonomous rover could do... construction site prep for factories, other deployments of designed systems like those solar panel arrays etc. (assuming those payloads could be standardized in an industry and deployed in the way this was - hugely positive economic implications for businesses looking at first principles and opportunities to create new tech to fit those demands!)
      Overall, looks like a really versatile platform that could be huge in the future, but even just this lunar mission that were presented, looks AWESEOME! I caught myself with my mouth open in shock when I saw that demo! :D

    On Virgin Orbit, Chapter 11 is strictly a US thing. Bankruptcy law is very different in the UK - in fact I think you will find that Virgin Orbit is in receivership, not bankrupt. Receivership is very often the first stage in bankruptcy but it can leave open the possibility of the business eventually trading its way out under new management. So it has some similarities to Chapter 11 (temporary protection from creditors) but is not the same.

      @@martinknox9879 Starship started back in 2011, it has been more than just the flights. There is also the difference in development. SLS is doing the test every piece until it is perfect and then test the subsystems and finally have a flight with little problems. SpaceX, for Starship, is doing rapid interation where they test things when they are good enough, but likely to fail. Which is why the Raptor 1 was replaced by the Raptor 2 and the Starship have went through MANY changes. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The only reason SpaceX can afford the rapid iteration method, is that Starship is being made of steel, which is cheaper than normal spacecraft construction methods. IF they were using composite materials like they initially planned, they would almost certainly be doing the more traditional method.
      SpaceX is a private company, so they can take risks that NASA can not, who has Congressional oversight and people who would like to see the space program curtailed as mostly unnecessary. Or being done in the wrong district.

      A week and a few days is the NET date. Keep that in mind.
      I recall a NET date for this same launch about 9 months ago.. Though obviously there is much better odds this time.

      No, a week or so until the first attempt to launch. Expect a scrub that day, and maybe on several successive days, but it is finally about to happen. Can't wait.

      ​@@odysseusrex5908 That's a given. We still refer to a launch date as a launch date, because it is supposed to launch that day. Any scheduled event is subject to postponement.

      @@BlueZirnitra Yeah, I'm well aware of that but the OP said launch, not launch date.

      Launch just around the corner, 🙄 . Is starship and launchpad totally finished?

    Makes me wonder if they'll start building more luna-ships with big side payload door (like the path finders for the starlink V2 design); they have what 1 or 2 ships with no fins..?
    Incredible, prototyping 3 diff models of starship and booster(s) all at once.. just wow (wasn't mentioned but what was said in video made me think of the above) ❤❤
