I keep paraphrasing Scott Manley’s comment from the Starship launch. “Denied a flame trench, Starship made it’s own. “
This is *exactly* what Common Sense Skeptic predicted.
A flametrench that fills itself with water.
It sure did. It may take time to fill with water, but not much time.
@@vidyaishaya4839 fill time vs launch empty time... 100:1?
It’s amazing how good we have gotten at landing on Mars! I remember the excitement when pathfinder landed and started sending back images. Mars had the reputation of being kind of a cursed planet given how many failed probes it had consumed. And now look where we are, it’s getting routine and we are feeling jaded sadly at all the amazing rovers and photos and missions on the surface year after year. It’s insane.
There is NOTHING routine about landing on the moon or any planet.
No privateer moon landing... And they tried as hard as they could.
It will be a VERY long time until it is "routine".
The coolest thing about that Earth rise photo is that you can see the solar eclipse shadow on the Earth.
Yeah, I didn't realize that was in the picture until after we had recorded it.
@@frasercain 9:02 is that from some anime? I didn't realize you watched anime.
I do watch anime, including Attack on Titan. But putting that in was all Anton.
@@frasercain oh nice! Have you watched Ghost in the shell movie and Ghost in the shell: SAC? SAC is one of my favorites. There's also Psycho-ass and Ergo Proxy. I really love sci-fi anime.
I haven't seen SAC, just the original Anime movie. Ive seen Ergo Proxy, but not the other one. I'll check it out.
Nice Attack on titan reference
4:30 China National Space Administration (CNSA) intends to set up the International Lunar Research Station Cooperation Organization (ILRSCO) soon, plus CNSA has already signed cooperation agreements or letters of intent with a number of countries and international bodies, including Russia, Argentina, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and Brazil, as well as the Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) who's members which includes China, Bangladesh, Iran, Mongolia, Pakistan, Peru and Thailand. Finally Wu Weiran said “We welcome the participation of developed countries such as the United States and European countries. We also hope that BRICS countries and some underdeveloped African countries will join us.” So yeah! Hopefully our space agencies can cooperate with CNSA
That lightning strike on the Falcon Heavy was metal AF. 🤘
A flying saucer lands on the Ikea bookcase. Nice.
Nailed the Patreon ad this week Fraser, I'd run with that script going forward!
Deimos picture is surreal!
It was off the top of my head, so that'll be tough.
12:00 -WHOA! Now THAT is a picture.
I wish it was the whole world working together as one.
Don't we all, but this may not be all bad. Redundancy and backup plans are a requirement for space. Problems and disasters are inevitable, so having redundant US and China led groups may be a good result. What's needed in this situation is coordination and sharing of data, but not cooperation and sharing of technology.
We should respect the failures and the search for improvement. Space science is hard. Because it's hard, humanity should always push for it. Strive for greater challenges & the knowledge & wisdom that comes from it.
Everyone loves this about SpaceX…until SpaceX actually demonstrates some kind of failure. Then everyone says, “These guys are obviously idiots. They should just do what NASA has always done.” 😂
When we had the launch of the SLS and even something that strong did some quite a bit of damage to the launch complex but still it was able to complete its mission with a few minor issues. I’m just floored that the higher ups at Starship didn’t take into consideration and hand waved off adding a flame diverter system and suppression system . Like this is one of the largest most powerful rocket built and it’s going to be the most expensive backhoe made and edges hard into trying to fly on the cheap and incompetence. I could see these accidents happening often back in the 1950s rocketry was difficult but seeing what happened with starship I have my doubts.
They didn't hand wave it. Elon Musk told them to do it that way. I wasn't in on those meetings but that seems to be his management style, hence the ship catching lunacy and the childish looking Cybertruck.
@@slabrankle9588 quite sure there was dozens of engineers just groaning as starship blasted that deep crater at the launching pad. No wild design or configuration of the engines isn’t going to alter the physics of applying that much thrust to the ground isn’t going to damage something.
While yeah it would of delayed the launch perhaps another year to install the flame diverters, I’d feel that’s a better price to pay that the damage done to the site, plus having to rebuild it and the loss of all those engines and starship itself.
@@acrothdragon it was a 100% Elon Musk ego decision, against the advice of almost his entire team. Like removing LiDAR from Teslas. And telling the world they were capable of autonomous self driving and were safer than a human. And....... everything Twitter, especially blue.
Its the problem with convincing a marketing genius with a silver spoon that theyre an actual genius.
@@mycosys exactly
It's because Musk is the dumbest man in any room not containing Donald Trump.
And because he surrounds himself with yes-people, instead of people who can say no.
IMO, failing to land a robotic lander on the Moon when you don't have a government budget is not a big failure. I couldn't imagine how difficult that would be.
Dude they had more than a government budget.
Failure.failure ha
That’s a shame. Bad luck. It’s very hard thing to do.
Yeah. 😔
@@frasercain will be interesting to know what went wrong.
Can we all appreciate the UFO that was landing in Fraser's closet? I fully agree on working together as a planet, we are all under the same sky. Is SpaceX getting technological knowledge from NASA or do they have to reinvent everything for themselves? And the Earth Rise picture was really nice and moving. Because of its smallness it looked like a marble.
If only I'd turned around...
Since NASA is publicly funded the vast majority of their science is publicly available, which also means corporations can use it. That's why SpaceX tends to thank NASA every time they do something half-decent; they're using their science.
SpaceX receives billions in NASA funding, tech and staff.
I fully agree that it would be wonderful if everyone got along, but it ignores the realities of the former colonial super powers involved and the centuries of injustice they have perpetrated. In order for everyone to get along, WE have to do better too.
I think the rev Dr MLK Jr may have put it best:
"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
....
"If I have said anything in this letter that overstates the truth and indicates an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said anything that understates the truth and indicates my having a patience that allows me to settle for anything less than brotherhood, I beg God to forgive me.
I hope this letter finds you strong in the faith. I also hope that circumstances will soon make it possible for me to meet each of you, not as an integrationist or a civil-rights leader but as a fellow clergyman and a Christian brother. Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.
Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood,
Martin Luther King, Jr." Letter from a Birmingham Jail
@@frasercain 16:52 At the upper left side of the closet
@@RochelleHasTooManyHobbies Technology and science are two different things though. I am aware that the science is freely available for everyone in the world while American citizens payed taxes, that's why I'm very grateful to America
I was on a Greyhound trip from California to New York. Picked up and pocketed a cool-looking rock in Reno, Nevada, and dropped it off in some landscaping in SLC, Utah. No particular reason. That was 30 years ago. The story about the rovers' pet rock reminded me. Thanks, Fraser. That pic of Mars and Deimos blew me away! WOW! Starbase will be up and running in a year, guaranteed.
My wife's car is filled with rocks that have the exact same story as yours.
Lol!
11:20 holy crap I had no idea just how complex JWST's instrumentation was. This is absolutely mind-blowing. Also I might be wrong but from what I can tell here, light is being split into the different colors: cyan, blue, green, red and yellow which is also mind blowing.
Those colours are representative of different infrared colours, its all invisible light and if any part of the system was even close to freezing the whole system would be overwhelmed with self generated infrared. Its even way wilder than that diagram, the refrigeration system runs on sound, no moving parts. Its an astonishing piece of engineering.
@@mycosys yes! My mind was blown multiple times just watching how many times the light is bouncing. Each bounce introduces more points of error since no surface can be perfectly positioned. And I am assuming the precision of each surface for the bouncing to happen perfectly (or at least close to perfectly) has to be nanometer level precision, if not even more than that.
I've been in desolated places on Earth and they are far more welcoming than the looks of Mars, even then I relished that I can quickly return to lush hydrated lands. Mars is going to require special early adopters, I've experienced cabin fever snowed in at helicopter only access high altitude, it makes you take chances to escape.
Imagine "cabin fever" on Mars with nowhere to go and that little spot, Earth, in night sky yrs away.
7:59 look at the surface of the ocean. You can clearly see several pieces of concrete or something land in it.
Question: Could Starlink satellites be used for astronomy? For example, put a small digital camera on the back of every new satellite, then stitch them together with interferometry?
Time to add Taxi/Uber to Percy's resume
Thanks for this.
Video quality is amazing
CZ-9 is still a plan that has not yet been funded ( and will constantly change), however, CZ-10 is real lunar rocket that is currently under development and will fly after 2025, which I think deserve more attention, CZ-10 has a reusable two-stage LEO version as well.
The Starship launch pad is really inadequate. I desperately needs a flame diverter. I always thought that. The back flame was very obvious.
Landing on a oil rig is a good idea if you’re just launching rockets. Spacex wants to launch super heavy three times a day. Not three different boosters. The same booster. They want literally to do dozens, If not, hundreds of launches a day. That can’t be done from the ocean. So both are good ideas.
Everyone was disappointed the Japanese lunar lander failed but those guys need to think about how SpaceX reacted when Starship blew up up again last week. The Japanese company will get there next time. Like SpaceX, those guys got telemetry right up until the lunar lander hit. Keep on trying!👍🏻
Google isn't even offering the prize anymore and they're still trying. The perseverance is admirable.
@@Nethershaw They’ll get there. The Moon is opening up for those who stick it out.
Wonder if your comments will be this, if it was a Chinese lander that failed. I seriously doubt it.
@@hclau218 I don’t follow. The Chinese lander was successful. Mars will have trouble attracting enough money to sustain a continuous human presence but the Moon will be able to do it just by tourism. Hopefully there will be more significant scientific reasons to build settlements on the Moon but tourist dollars can probably fund scientic endeavours like big radio telescopes on the far side.
@@GadZookz You comment on the Japanese failure is both positive and encouraging. I am just asking, if (IF) it was a Chinese Lander that failed, would your comment be just as positive and encouraging?
Great news update, as always! I agree that it will take longer than 2 months until the next Starship flight, but 14 months seems overly pessimistic. Barring any major regulatory holdups, based on post launch work seen so far I'm guessing that it will be at least 3 months but no more than 6 months before they have solved the technical issues as well as rebuilt/upgraded the pad and are ready to fly again. A 14 month delay would be quite costly for SpaceX from a schedule and business perspective, and so they will be pushing hard to launch much sooner than that.
Double and add 10 is the iron rule. Arguing against that is like arguing against the weather, or the ocean. :-)
@@frasercain The "Elon" corollary to Murphy's Law ;-)
If that were the case they wouldn’t have made the insane and costly decision to launch the most powerful rocket with that insane amount of thrust without proper diverter and sound suppression system in place. They could have been in a much better place now but instead they’re playing catch up and will no doubt be facing backlash from not only the FAA but environmental organizations and the public affected by the fallout debris. It’s back to the drawing board and I’m certain only a proper trench/ flame diverter will suffice which may mean moving operations or a redesign of existing.
What is going to take time is out of control of SpaceX.
The Flight Termination System took over a minute to cause failure. (Because the stainless steel rocket is surprisingly strong with a pair of holes punched in both stages.) FAA will have to analyze and approve their new FTS.
The debris field was bigger than expected if the rocket blew up on the pad. That is going to take a lot of convincing the FAA before they grant a new launch license.
Although there is a lot of local support, it is not universal. There was a lot of stuff dropped on the wildlife refuge. There was a lot of windblown sand and dust dropped 5 miles away on S Padre Island. These will undoubtedly be used to try to get an injunction against another launch until it can be proven this won't happen again.
I'm a couple of months late to this video but I just saw it today and wanted to comment that I love the animation showing one of JWSY's instruments. I could find ESA's source video but it was a silent animation, I wish there was a narrated version somewhere because it looks really complex and interesting.
If they raised the launch platform to begin with they could have had an above ground flame diverter with deluge system.
splitting faction for space exploration actually very good thing, look how far the progress we made during cold war compare to progress after cold war ended.
when space is consolidated there is no need to explore space other than curiosity, and it will get lower priority compare to other "real" national need.
Happy Sunday morning from NZ :)
Good morning!
I think it was a mistake to tilt the ship so the exhaust was toward the launch tower..
Thanks Frasier. Almost nobi=ody is talking about the cool pictures from Mars Hope. Great coverage.
Is the link for the 6:36 segment (which is also the link for the marcus & scott interview) the bread crumbs that will lead is behind the curtain of patreon to see the q&a?
Hey, who do I contact at NASA to suggest a landing on the Apophis astroid in 2035? Or that commet next fall..
3:11 It's kind of easy to set aggressive timelines like that when you borrow other agencies/companies initial R&D and then modify it as you see fit based on your experience and or goals...
4:11 It would be funny of NASA and the CAS got ahold if China and said, "Hey we wanna partner up for this Moon base thingie you are doing!". It would be interesting to hear their reaction.
SpaceX early flights at least thanked NASA, NOAA after every launch. Mom allowed me to stay home from school to watch Shepherd and then Glenn. That things work so well today is a testament to persistence and PUBLIC FUNDING of the past.
@@BobQuigley Are you ok there Rob? Also, I like your sloth!
I think the Chinese would believe our bureaucracy would hold them back! China & Russia both have experience in human & interplanetary spaceflight, so they will work together. India will join the effort if they normalize relations with China.
Wasn't it NASA who banned cooperation with CNSA through the Wolf amendment? China has stated they're open to cooperation with NASA
If borrowing other agencies/companies' initial R&D were so easy then every country would be on the moon already
at last, a challenger appears, so the usa gets a motivation to get anything progressive done for a change. this is easy for a nation like these 2, and if they only wanted, they could do it before 2024
I have the perfect design idea for a flame diverter for Superheavy. SpaceX needs to fill in the pad below like they had it before, then on top of the fresh concrete, put a wide (~8 meter) but short (~3 or 4 meter) hexagonal pyramid constructed from quarter inch thick steel plates and welded together. Fill that with plumbing so water could come out just below the tip of the pyramid from slits on all six triangular faces of the flame diverter. Water would also come out of six slits at the base of the diverter and flow along the ground and out from under the OLM. After plumbing is installed, fill the rest of the empty space inside with more pad concrete. This design angles the blast from all 33 engines and keeps it from striking direct concrete, also acts a water deluge or whatever. Dimensions can be tweaked as needed.
nice, I like it!
16:52 LOL. That was great.
Dang landing on the moon is tough,
Its a friggin miracle how we got those first atronauts to the moon and back without our computers,
I think theres a story of the atronaut even using his trusty slide-ruler
Yeah, amazing that they accomplished it 50 years ago.
A good programmable calculator would suffice and that’s what they had at the time. Soviets had even worse computers and they were planning to land too.
I’m just repeating what Scott Manley said during your discussion with him. There will not be a flame diverter. If there is a flame driver, then they cannot change engines on the pad. Because they will not be able to have the maintenance pad raise up and change engines. So they’ll figure something else out. But it will not be a flame diverter. Not me saying this.
It couldnt be that hard to engineer a mobile maintenance platform to go over the diverter
Fraser love what you do, love being a patron, if you are not a patron, do it now. Thank you Fraser 👍
Landing a punch is hard, too! Thanks for these weekly bite-sized updates, Fraser.
Starship is cool, but I feel like Elon is a bit too early to all of this. Hear me out. Elon wants to go to Mars and build his colony, I get that, but were not even back on the Moon yet, don't have everything ready. 2025 sounds way too ambitious, too. A Mars colony is decades out of reach, there's no way that is going to happen anytime soon. First, we got to do the Moon, then we can think about Mars. If the Starship does reach orbit, great, but it won't be useful for quite some time, there's no need for it at the moment.
yep，its just like china s plan，moon first then mars
Hey Fraser, Just heard/saw about the best description of space time, why gravity is not a force, and more on the royal institution channel with Katy Clough. There would be someone to interview.
Competition in going to the Moon is good! If it was only ony group of countries going there wouldn't be any sense of urgency. Now it is a race with lots of urgency and prestigue. However frustrating it is with countries competing, it does speed up space exploration 👍
Is it possible the "space fairing species" title only applies to a species which have private entities flying into space, not governments?
Or when economics is such that most missions produce a profit.
Gotta say you're right on about it being important to work together when it comes to the moon. We clearly can't share a planet together so why not work together even just temporarily to find us a way to get us the hell off this world and onto others and then just go our separate ways.
lol, go our separate ways
??
I fully agree that it would be wonderful if everyone got along, but it ignores the realities of the former colonial super powers involved and the centuries of injustice they have perpetrated. In order for everyone to get along, WE have to do better too.

@@mycosys I wonder if George Floyd ever read it, before he was murdered by a white cop - just as one small example among thousands.
It surprises me with all these modern technology we still can't guarantee a safe landing on the moon, yet the Americans were able to land it in the 60s with technology equivalent to a calculator.
Space competition is probably the beSt way to expand our progress in space
Chinese is not the problem. US ban Chinese from participating the international space station so why would you expect Chinese will let Americans on their space station.
Pardon my ignorance, can a Falcon 9 carry a Starship into orbit?
The CG animation at 3:48 is a beautiful depiction of earth from the moon, however there is no atmosphere (almost none) on the moon and certainly no meteors streaking across the "sky", since there is no sky. See time 0:29 for the real thing, its a lot more harsh and less pretty.
My God. I hat ṭ watch that three times to see the little blip. You have a keen eye.
Good lord that MIRI animation. Wow.
By the way have another question here, what physical phenomenon is responsible for the unlit Moon surface to be brighter than the rest of the sky during the new moon and early/late phases? Is it re-reflecting light from Earth, or is there some light scattering through dust/trace gasses?
It is reflecting Earth light.
@@slabrankle9588 There really this much light being reflected from Earth onto the Moon to actually light up the dark part to be visible from here? I mean I guess both bodies have pretty decent albedo but damn this is a lot of light given how much of it being absorbed and scattered during each reflection
@@mihan2d Yes, it's called Earthshine. The dark phase of the moon is facing away from the sun and the Earth is the only thing that can be producing this illumination. FYI, the Earth is approximately 43 times brighter than the full moon.

The rocket will not fly again. One big thing is funds and a flawed launch pad that won't dig deep into the sand for a flame diverter. Sinking sand and castles go together

It's so good to hear about the success of the helicopter on Mars.

Putting people directly on the surface with our present technology is a great waste of resources.

If only I'd looked back at that moment...
Does SpaceX still own their 2 oil platforms?
Come on now fan boys.
We're at that stage when wrestling fans were being told it is fake but they ignored and carried on regardless in they're fantasy land.
Good thing they didn't have people on board.
SpaceX didn't need to build a flamer diverter - Starship dug it's own no problem
Red/Greed 3D of Deimos?
16:49 sooo no one is talking about the little dude descending?
Florida is at sea level dig down a foot you see water just like Boca Chica
They had to build up a huge amount in Florida. SpaceX was hoping to avoid that.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. China is the wild card of earthly space exploration. I'm hoping EVERYONE gets together to see what's out there.
Lithobraking. A funny way of saying that a spacecraft successfully slowed down by smacking into a planetary body.
Yeah, it's a great term. I didn't come up with it. 😀
You didn't mention the Coolest part of that iSpace Hakuta-R photograph taken of Earth . . . it showed the Full Shadow of the Moon during an Eclipse ! Bill Anders could be Jealous ! I heard the Hakuta-R may have run out of Fuel which seems bogus. There was a substantial bit of slowing to hover needed and running out of fuel that early was either a Serious miscalculation or something else caused the likely crash. I guess we'll find out somehow eventually.
Yeah, I learned that a little later when I was writing my newsletter. So amazing.
Losing communication isn't necessarily the end of the world, it happens all the time. It probably flopped over on landing and broke the antenna or something simple like that.
Frazier, you really wear your skepticism on your sleeve. 7:16 “The FAA has put a indefinite hold on SpaceX’s Starship launches, so we’re looking at at least a couple of more months before they’ll be allowed to launch.” I thought “indefinitely” meant “for an undefined time”…not “for an undefined time, but AT LEAST two to four months.” 😂
Laws of physics arent violated.
Shagrin over no sonic / divertion and blast pathways. Did anybody watch the F1 tests ?
14 months is pretty conservative/pessimistic but we'll see I hope you're wrong but we don't know enough.
❤❤❤❤

If once you don’t succeed, you try and try again. Eventually, it will work for you!

Does China really want to land on the moon by 2030? They just announced the next change in the design of their Long March 9 Super Heavy Lift Vehicle as well. As a report by SpaceNews, this would include abandoning the kerolox-powered version (version 21) and proceeding directly to a 30-engine methaolox-powered version with the first flight expected in 2033. Which of course would make a pre-2030 manned lunar landing impossible. So who's wrong here? Did SpaceNews mistakenly report CALC said the first flight of LM was in 2033? Or is China still proceeding with the kerolox-powered LM9 despite what was reported during the same week? Someone needs to look into to clarifying this when more information becomes available.
The UAE's Deimos picture is awesome.
Politics should stop at the top of the atmosphere of earth. Space is apolitical.
I want to say out loud here that helicopters on Mars give us one advantage, removing dust on solar panels and radiators.
On Stage 0 I predict it will take all summer to get it ready so the FAA ban is more like a formality. Perhaps towards year end they could be ready for another attempt.
Unfortunately it's not enough force. The dust clings and needs to be scraped off.
