​@@MattLowneI completely agree about having redundant crew launch systems. It's insanely cool that the US has Falcon 9/Dragon, and soon Atlas V/Starliner and SLS/Orion. More of us should appreciate this. However, that doesn't mean we can't call out mismanaged companies with a recent issue of safety and quality control. Boeing literally murdered a whistleblower from their aircraft division, let alone the complacency of the entire 737 Max saga. It's obvious that Starliner's path to crewed launch has been troubled. From the parachute issue on the pad abort test, to the software glitch that prevented OFT-1 from reaching ISS, to there being safety issues on the service module potentially colliding with the capsule after separating, the valve issues, the flammable tape, etc. I want to see Starliner succeed, but until they're safely launching crew, I don't think we should stop scrutinising them.

3:26 "We saw two launch one day apart from the same space center..." No, Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station are two distinct entities. KSC is run by NASA and CCSFS is run by the Space Force. They are right next to each other, but definitely not "the same space center". That would be like saying England and Scotland are "the same thing" because they're right next to each other.

Boeing Starliner...let's hope it's door doesn't blow off in flight!

If that crane can handle a D11 sized electric Cat bulldozer in Earth gravity, I think they should build it because handling that mass on the moon and Mars would be guaranteed. Placing the feet further from the centerline would make it more tip resistant.

Im pretty sure no flight will see landing legs on the not a falcon 9. I saw recently they plan to use a guide wire system that'll close around the top of the booster and just hang it in the air. It actually seems like a better solution than legs.

imagine they launch IFT-4 when he's away :')

Seriously brave astronauts daring to go fly with a Boeing capsule. For multiple reasons even. PS, YES i know, more options, more better. But the Boeing company did have some serious setbacks as of late with flying things. And the first two flights were anything but flawless, including a lot of software bugs.

That must have been a religious holiday for the american slimebag guy.

Hi Matt! Do you think the heat tiles will continue to pose a big problem for reusability? Do you think SpaceX will be forced to an alternative if they want actual RAPID reusability? I am afraid it will be, looking at the Shuttle and also SS ALWAYS losing tiles on a mission. I am thinking an ablative blanket which can be wrapped around starship would definitely comply with rapid reusability, as it can be discarded after use and replaced while SS is stacked. I'd have to write another 10 paragraphs to fully describe my idea, so I'll leave it at that. What do you think?

Starliner. What is going sideways this time...

The starship version of the lander will likely require some sort of counter weight system when lowering cargo from that height, laws of physic still apply to Musk even though he thinks he can get a Tesla to go 0-60 in under 1s. Still no sign of this anywhere at SpaceX, been the same image repurposed for years, only thing they are doing is developing a starlink deployment system for their own commercial goals.

It has passed an entire year since the first launch, fr?

The animation of the booster landing into the chopsticks is interesting in that it shows the rocket's exhaust flame rotating back and forth over the orbital launch platform/tower. If the real booster has to gimble the landing engines that much, are they going to have to harden much more of stage zero?

​@@exilestudios9546 SLS and Starship have had radically different development paths, not comparable. SLS started development in 2011, while Starship realistically didn't start serious R&D until 2018. Starship is also being developed with an iterative and incremental approach, where launch failures are expected in order to obtain data. Also, Starship is far more ambitious, aiming to be fully reusable, something never achieved before. Hate Elon Musk all you want (which I suspect is the source of your hate for Starship) but what SpaceX are doing is seriously impressive.

SpaceX: We got further with every subsequent launch! *me checking the books* No Starship has made it into orbit yet. And the one that actually got to space properly lost any and all guidance the moment it got there and failed to achieve even it's sub-orbital trajactory at that. They were lucky it landed in the Indian Ocean as it did in stead of over Africa. To add to the calamity, every Starship they blow up eats away at the budget they got from NASA for this thing. And they still haven't solved most other issues such as docking, refueling in space, habitation, and most important of all... a fully functional elevator to deploy humans on the moon and get them back off. I see no reason for any celebration yet. While the budget is starting to shrink rapidly because every launch seems to burn up another Starship.
