This was most interesting Tim. Thanks mate. I suspect the two main reasons were due to safety restrictions and propellant weight. Probably pretty difficult to land at an accurate location from orbit, even by SpaceX standards. Suspect they could much more easily return to the ocean with chutes. Still hope they continue with propulsive tech for future stuff though. I suspect the super.d engines will still be there for abort or emergency anyway, probably just with much less fuel. They are not going to remove them entirely from Dragon 2 I wouldn't think are they?

The SuperDracos are still super important! They're critical in an abort, and it's cool that they're kept after every flight. In old space capsules, the escape tower is a separate component which is thrown away at every launch. Each Dragon gets to keep its superdracos for the next flight!

Everyday Astronaut The little itsy bitsy legs stuck through the heat shield never made sense for a Mars landing on unknown terrain. An unknown terrain landing needs high flotation legs with active leveling. That puts the legs outside like on the F9 booster. If they want to send scientific instruments around in the solar system, there is no point at all in developing legs they can only land on a flat concrete tarmac. And on Earth, there isn't much point in propulsive landing unless they can land on a helipad, airport, ship, or wherever. I was wondering why they weren't doing routine propulsive take off and landings (with extra fuel on a stripped down test vehicle) to get deep practice. Thx.

Has anyone considered a propulsive landing in fresh water. The precision of a propulsive landing would make it possible to land in a small pond or even an artificial dugout pond. Fresh water would be less corrosive and a water landing would be gentle enough that there would be no need for landing legs. A crane and truck could be driven to the pond and pick the Dragon out of the water and whisk it off to wherever it is needed. A truck and crane would be quicker and cheaper than a ship and a helicopter.

@eternalinnovation2118

Also, don't forget that our atmosphere is actually quite dense and when the propulsive landing starts it's less than 200 KPH fast. Quite slow, actually. And slowing down from that is not that much of a problem, when you have the tech and know-how to put the thing in orbit in the first place. Also, they have done propulsive landings many times now, with something much bigger and heavier than the Dragon 2 ;-)

At 10:05 you indirectly refer to the Sunk Costs Fallacy (when already spent costs are incorrectly factored into future decisions- leasing to abandoning a project that is cheaper to finish than to start over, or continuation of a project that would be cheaper to abandon and start over than to continue with...) However NASA and big contractor behavior is often NOT an example of this fallacy, and YOU are the one engaging in the Sunk Cost Fallacy in those cases... If you've already SUNK enormous amounts of money into a project and it is close to completion, then those costs are LOST already. The only things that matter are costs going forward- and if you are close to completing a project then finishing it often comes with far fewer additional costs than starting over on a newer project with the same capabilities. For instance, the Shuttle was INCREDIBLY expensive to develop, but by the time they realized they were going to end up way over-budget the future costs to finish the Shuttle were lower than they would have been if they had stsrted over on a new super-heavy lift rocket like SLS. There was no recovering those costs, and despite your ignorant mocking, ABANDONING the Shuttle at that point and stsrting on a new auper-heavy lifter would have costed even MORE money than just finishing the Shuttle. If you're 90% of the way into a $200 Billion project and only have $20 Billion to go, and a new option cones along that would have the same performance and cost only $40 Billion to develop you SHOULDN'T abandon your current project and begin work on the alternative- that would be exactly twice as expensive. Your already-expended costs are lost and you can't get them back- this is what it means for something to be a "Sunk Cost"... Industry, interestingly, gets away with abandoning projects all the time because they can just write failed projects off as a loss on their taxes- and pay less in taxes several years into the future by crediting those losses towards their USA tax obligation. It's a messed-up system, and one that Trump abused all the time in Real Estate to avoid paying taxes. It's an option available to defense contractors and private corporations like SpaceX, but it's NOT an option available to NASA. In short, abandoning a project is often still the more expensive choice even for private industry, but they can EXTERNALIZE part of that cost by writing it off as a loss for tax purposes, shoving off enough of the financial burden of abandoning the project (in ultimately higher total R&D costs) to the rest of society in the form of reduced tax contributions that abandoning a project often becomes the profitable option for a business- but the more expensive choice for society as a whole due to ways the government ends up subsidizing this decision...

Great video!!

Came here from Mind and Machine podcast, Great stuff!

They might change their mind.

You said the ITS landing maneuver "looks nothing like how a dragon capsule would land," but how is it any different? They both do aerobraking and then propulsive landing, right? I think what's going on here, plain and simple, is that SpaceX is admitting don't have a realistic way to get to mars any time soon.

@BDMort147

Maybe because the dragon would've had boosters on the sides and landing legs in the middle while BFS or ITS is the opposite of that. But mainly I think it's because of totally different hardware being used so the experience gained from it wouldn't have been worth the cost. I wouldn't have said "looks nothing like" like he said, but rather it's different enough not to make it worth while.

11 minutes of blurb wrapped around a 30 second clip of Elon actually telling us why they won't pursue propulsive landing.

Fair enough, but did we really need the history of SpaceX, again?

+beterthanlife some people don’t but according to the comments a lot of people did. I’m aiming at informing the general public and want to not assume everyone is on the same technical level. There’s PLENTY of sources out there for those of us who are looking for that.

I appreciated the brief history

You really need to ditch the space suit, or at least beyond the intro. It's kinda silly at this point.

+Sean Manny well I took a poll on a previous video and most people think I should wear the suit and helmet for intro and then suit for the rest of the video. (75% of people) so that’s what I’ve been doing

I agree with what your poll said. I like the helmet, but together with your spectacles it seems kinda odd. I think you should get rid of the binocular though. It looks childish in contrast to the space suit, IMO.

Add a propeller beanie.

Came back here after the crew dragon demo flight! So much has changed in a few years....

I fully agree with Tim's final judgement: See the final target and be flexible!

awesome video keep it up!

Thanks for this video. I learned a lot from this. +1 sub : )

+Dan Full awesome! Thank you!!!

You summed it up perfectly. The propulsive landing would have been awesome, and it's kind of a bummer that it doesn't happen, but then again, why put so much into it at all, when they could just put all their efforts and resources in developing BFR? After all, the Dragon 2 is still going to be launched by the Falcon 9, a partially reusable vehicle, and while it is pretty cool, it'd be much cooler to see a much bigger ship replace it. So with that in mind, the plans getting canceled is actually something good, because with SpaceX it pretty much always means they have something bigger and better in mind.

Found you in my recommendations. Instant sub.

Nice update!

I really like your music! It goes so well with your videos too!

Sorry Tim, but I found when the speech and music were playing together, that it was hard to focus on what you were saying. Just too much going on... Perhaps make the music quieter when you are talking. Don't worry I loved the video. Keep up the good work.

Actually it was just near the end that the music got too loud. Have a listen and see what you think.

Thanks for the video and the reasoning! Originally I was sad but given your perspective it makes sense

I got to work on some of the tooling for the dragon 2. Pretty cool stuff.

thanks for the info just subbed

I just love seeing this many people being excited about what SpaceX is doing. To see this happening before my time passes is inspiring in itself.

Excellent show and review of current affairs. Thanks for the fun show and I will be watching all the shows in the future. Sooo, how does one get to be a member of your space corps?

Thanks Tim,love it.

i really hope they bring back the propulsive landing one day, they could atleast use the drako thrusters in tandem with the parachute the way the soyuz does

that thumbnail is amazing!

Can't wait for the next video!

You seem to make these videos longer than they need to be. Good video overall tho! +1
