Starship Version 3 will be like NASA's Artemis SLS being used as a booster to launch NASA's Saturn 5 as a second stage.

After watching SpaceX, it is even more remarkable that we landed people on The Moon in the 1960s (60 years ago). SpaceX tested dozens of rockets to get to the Raptor engine and Falcon rockets. Not even to mention the advantages in computers, production sciences and materials. Even given all that they are just now ready for a Moon mission.

It’s hard to see how any lunar habitat can function long term without keeping the dust completely sealed outside. Space suit condoms and a mud room? Like a thin plastic film applied in the outside of the suit upon egress that is easily removed when returning to the habitat. Alternatively the idea of keeping the suits “docked” on the outside which astronauts can climb into may be the way to go. It would be awesome if electrostatics is enough to keep the suit clear.

The solution is to electrically charge the outside of the suit. Moon dust is charged, such g is why it sticks to everything. That also means it can be easily repelled.

Thank You and a Job Well Done on being one of the Very Few Space channel's willing to discuss the Moon Dust issue. NASA doesn't talk about it but their last Apollo Missions w/ extended Moon excursions told the rather scary tale of what Moon Dust does to equipment & people. That stuff ruined and nearly disabled a LOT of equipment that was exposed and being statically charged make it a problem that can't be ignored. Without Weather to wear the stuff down, every particle is Razor Sharp and looking for a new home.

“Calling in strategem!” -Siera Space, probably.

Always wondered why the N1 interstages were like that.

Perfect video 👍

really good video!

Is this the beginning? Of space drop pods for soldiers. It looks very similar to a sci-fi soldier delivery system.

I think with the capability and the added load capacity V3 could have landing legs for the booster like the falcon rockets which I think would be safer and more flexibility when it comes to landing

Sierra Space, it's all well and good for supplies, but what about reinforcements?

Interesting topic about the moon dust

Lots of people in the comments boasting about how powerful v3 is supposed to be, but v1 was supposed to be powerful too. There is more distance between what v1 delivers and what it was supposed to than there is between what v3 is supposed to deliver and what v1 was supposed to deliver.

Interesting times 👍🚀

Yea yeah yeah. I'd have expected he said it would eventually work fine.

Can the space ship hold two of the bottom tanks in the spaceship. With out making it bigger too carry them.

They will need to increase the water pressure for the OLT with Raptor-3.

I think it would be better if SpaceX get a contract of GigaSpaceStation, oribiting Earth and and smaller Space Station orbiting Mars

I would point that 2mln for Starship is related to internal cost of launch. Internal cost of launching reused Falcon 9 is ca 20 mln. Variable price is dependant on configuration of second stage, place where it desired landing, or fairing price. 67 mln is what SpaceX charging customers.

How far could Starship 3 take a 100 ton load. Not every flight needs to be "as much as it will carry" How fast could it go without any payload, just a speed run?

@kolbyking2315

If it can take 200 tons into LEO, and it's dry mass proportion is the same as current starship (7.7%), then starship 3 can give a 100 ton payload 800 m/s of extra delta-v. Lunar transfer is ~3150 m/s. With no payload, starship 3 has ~2000 m/s of delta-v to play with.

The real question is. "How far can Starblip 3 scatter 100 tons of debris over the planet?"

How about a version 3B upgrade to empower post orbital space travel? Remount the combined power unit and fuel tanks from the common dome through to the rocket nozzles. Then the entire power unit is mounted so that it can be extended until the existing common dome is locked in to its new position 10 metres from the base of the external body skin.This would only be completed after the achievement of orbit. This would create a sizable area for long trip duration use. By incorporating 2 Sierra space 12 metre inflatable habitats inside the newly created area (after extension) each with access airlocks there would be considerable new space for storage, recreation, work areas or even a greenhouse to grow food and thus increase oxygen. The trip to the moon or mars would become much more comfortable and actually productive. As in space there is no resistance there would be no requirements for retracting the power unit until entering orbit at the destination. Thus the inflatable areas would probably have a 3 longitudinally spaced floor levels of 1 x 3m plus 2 x 2.6m. The 3 m floor area would be an added safe zone for radiation or space debris impact. This structure would be the cheapest orbiting hotel or other use for mars. Obviously it could carry enough supplies to cover extended trip consumables including the air used to inflate the habitat units.. i am sure Sierra Space could sort the mostly existing habitat units if Space X could re engineer the power unit requirements. This would coincide with the already proposed in orbit refuelling methods. Just a thought from downunder in Sydney. A Space X admirer from the beginning but no engineering degree. I hope the idea supports some innovations.

star ship is getting more and more amazing, lets say, more tech,, bigger rockets.. soon new destinations, =) and further modern rockets..

starship is a spaceship that would take you star to star, good video tho

❤😂🎉 wish SpaceX CEO and SpaceX Team great work and success. AMEN 😢

Isn't more effective to launch a rocket off a very large aircraft? No damage to launch facilities from hot rocket exhaust.

A while ago I suggested an inner and outer shell . for a maned flightship. An inner shell for the human part of the ship to consist of carbon fiber and the outer shell having a hollow shell , filled with an i nert gas ie argon to protect the humans from radiation ! Of course this ship needs to be built in low obit, wirth 5 nulcear engines . 4 for thrust. 2 for internal power and for a debris shield ! A shuttle needs to be brought along for a return voyage and entry module . Habitats need to bulit and sent to Mars before launch of the human depature. I suggest somewhere in Vallis Mariara as it has a higher pressue in the lower basin of the Vally and oxygen may be in greater abundance as well as caves suitable for human protection . A door could be built to trap the oxygen and radiation. Water may be more accsessable in this region also. Mike.

All praise the Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all.

Emergency!!! THE ONLY SOTUTION! Baffles will not work to prevent the fuel slushing problem, because the tanks of the starship system are too large. That is the only reason why the starship engines have been exploding every time. The solution: The tanks of Starship and Superheavy need 2 disk valves, expanding the diameter of each tank. One of the disks, the one on top, rotates above the contiguous disk to close the overlaping holes on the surface of the disks; to reduce the Size of the tank by dividing it, before any rotation or acceleration of the rocket. This will prevent slushings and protect the plumbing, if located 10% above the bottom section of each tank. Large telescopic pistons can be attached below the bottom of disk valves to control the fuel pressure as the piston expands into the fuel tank. I have built a model that works perfectly. The second disk valve can be located 10% below the front of the tank, to also protect the front of the tanks from the slushing forces. The gridfins are too flat and too small to be effective enough and will not be able to control the booster. Why is Elon not using four pins instead of three to secure each heat shield tyle? Four anchor points provide far more stability to secure a tyle, not three.What is more important than securing the heat shield? Four anchor points would eliminate the problems of tyles falling off the ship every time there is an engine ignition. Please get this message to Elon. Thank you. Also, Spacex needs 3 actuators to move the payload bay doors correctly, not two. They have only two now, one at each end of the payload bay. They need one at the center position. Three will guarantee that there will always be enough support to open and close the doors, even if one of the three fails. I know the spacex engineers can see these problems. It is like ignoring the elephant in the room. Musk needs to hire people who can be trusted and who will not continue accepting bribes from Jeff Bozo to sabotage Spacex.

I feel like Starship is slowly morphing into a spaceplane.
