Transcripts

what is that a new SpaceX super heavy

booster segment spotted is this the

first nextg Starship booster Starship 31

gets its engines how long till it flies

spacex's groundbreaking Polaris Dawn

mission is a goal but is it safe after

Falcon 99's

failure my name is Felix welcome to what

about it let's Dive Right

In today's tour of the craziest rocket

development in human history starts over

at spacex's Starbase launch site or

should we actually start calling it

build site 2 SpaceX has been doing a lot

of construction here and the name seems

to fit well they are building the future

of space flight In This Very spot we

knew that Starship launch to B would go

up extremely quickly compared to the

first because the internals of each

module had already been installed SpaceX

is way more organized on this second

Starship tower build however I don't

think any of us were for how fast it's

actually going up a few days ago we

witnessed yet another significant

Milestone as SpaceX rolled the fourth

Tower module from the Sanchez site to

the launch site shortly after the fourth

module was hooked to the gigantic demc

8,800 D1 crane it was then lifted into

place on top of the third module of to B

four down five to go with this module

now on top Starship launch Tower B is

already over halfway to its final nine

module height wait if it's supposed to

be nine modules tall but has four

modules stacked how is that over half

well it's already over half because the

final two modules are smaller in size to

allow for easier stacking and the base

of the tower is roughly the size of a

module all on its own this speed is

breathtaking and shows how fast SpaceX

is capable of working the first Tower

module had only been placed on the 11th

that was just 14 days ago at the time of

this episode's release spacex's speed is

unmatched in the Aerospace industry and

this is just one more example of that

it's even more surprising when you

realize that module 4 was also one of

the two modules that had just been

transported from Cape Canal a couple of

weeks ago however despite their

incredible speed the deadline for

stacking the first six modules is fast

approaching this deadline is from when

SpaceX filed for a determination of no

Hazard with the FAA which is re fired

when working with tall structures that

could pose a hazard to aircraft yep the

tower is that tall this filing was for

the crane and SpaceX stated that the

first six modules of the tower would be

completed by the 27s before the crane

was lowered and its height increased

Tick Tock SpaceX Tick Tock if SpaceX is

on scheduled for that we may even see

the fifth module at the launch site by

the time you're watching this perhaps

even already stacked on top of module 4

if you want want to get even more info

and even faster I suggest you take a

good look at y plus our second Channel

while you won't find my commentary there

you will find regular updates of what we

weren't able to fit into our episodes

Indo and yonatan our y+ team are doing

an incredible job over there a link to

y+ can be found in the description so

this brand new starship launch Tower

isn't the only Tower at the launch site

however we also have the original and

although its younger brother is taking

some of the spotlight Tower a still has

quite a lot of excitement coming and

with this next launch coming excitement

is guaranteed but it's not the launch

that most people are looking forward to

but what comes after launch number five

will be the first attempt at a booster

catch where the gigantic mechazilla

catch arms grab the Starship booster out

of midair when it returns from its trip

to space yep you heard that right for

those who haven't been keeping up with

space access activities that probably

sounds sounds like a bit of a crazy

sentence but that means that instead of

Landing the booster on a concrete

landing pad or a drone ship as with

Falcon 9 SpaceX will instead attempt

Landing the booster on these giant metal

arms right now they're only used to

stack the booster and Chip onto the

Launchpad but why would SpaceX do that

the Drone ship works fine right well it

all comes down to math adding full

reusability compared to Falcon 9 which

is only partly reusable adds more more

weight to the rocket a heat shield on

the ship for example SpaceX decided to

remove the need for landing legs to save

weight on the booster okay it still

sounds crazy but hopefully it will make

more sense now to accomplish this

seemingly insane maneuver SpaceX must

ensure that all of milla's systems work

properly so SpaceX performed a series of

tests on a specially designed test tank

called B1 14.1 after those tests it

appeared that SpaceX found some flaws in

the design as teams were seen removing

pieces of the shock absorbers something

may have been damaged from the test or

possibly from the recent static fire

Starship booster 12 but it's more likely

to be upgraded for the first catch

attempt which is just around the corner

excitement is definitely guaranteed with

the future of Starship stage zero which

includes the entire launch

infrastructure covered let's move to the

build side to discuss the future of

stages one and two let's start off in

the high where only one vehicle

currently resides I'm of course talking

about the brand new block 2 Starship

ship 33 everything learned from the

first four flights is integrated into

this massive upgrade step of the entire

rocket as you may remember ship 30 the

next Starship to fly was recently rolled

out of the high Bay to massis more

engine testing is on the menu which

means that its workstand is currently

vacant ship 33 however remains we've not

seen any more major sections of the

Prototype rolled out but we did see this

this is the payload bay door to the new

prototype it covers the opening in the

payload Bay which will be used to

release starlink satellites yes as we

talked about in our previous episode

ship 33's heavily upgraded payload

dispenser Bay was recently spotted near

Mega Bay 2 but this is only part of the

system for deploying Starling satellites

the other is this new payload bay door

it was seen rolling into the high Bay

and is very likely for ship 33 it will

complete the P dispenser once these are

installed we will likely see more

sections rolled to the high B for a

stacking below the pre-existing nose

cone and payload sections step by step a

new starship is created now that we've

looked at the high Bay let's examine the

larger Mega Bay where SpaceX is planning

to ramp up mass production of Starships

but before I tell you about that we've

also looked into our Channel metrics and

countless other extras on top and no

everyone gets the same supporter content

and access you decide what you want to

give thank you very much so back to Mega

Bay 1 one it has become quite tricky to

see inside ever since SpaceX installed

the large door to the front however

recently we did see something entering

this Mega Bas something you might find

very interesting this is the a section

of booster 15 and it has been sitting

here for quite some time this section

houses all the plumbing that sends

cryogenic propellants to Super Heavy's

33 Raptor engines however as it rolled

to the high Bay we could see the

vehicle's header tank the header what

these cold cryogenic liquid oxygen and

are the source of propellant during the

landing Burns so the colder temperatures

on the outer tanks don't depressurize

the vehicle this is opposed to the

purpose of the ship's header tanks which

are used due to the excessive movement

of the propellants during the famous

Starship belly flop maneuver during

flight it flips from vertical to

horizontal and back to vertical and it

needs to start its engines while doing

so that's what the Starship header tanks

are for not so on the boot booster

because re-entry heats up the booster on

descent as it reaches the lower

atmosphere and cools down the tanks

become much colder and such a drastic

change in temperature causes the

propellant to shrink this makes burning

propellant much hotter which makes using

the header tanks much safer but what's

odd is that these smaller tanks are

connected to the outside almost like a

hat at first these confused us but we

have a hypothesis as to why they are

there it may be that these tanks will

hold gas such as helium or nitrogen for

pressurization when you rapidly empty a

Rockets tanks because you're running

powerful engines at full thrust you want

to add something back into the main

tanks otherwise sour lemon

drops this would be the same as Falcon 9

which fills the tanks with helium as the

propellant runs out to maintain constant

pressure it is necessary to pressurize

the tanks so that they don't buckle as

fuel runs out kind of like when you suck

all the water water out of a water

bottle without letting any air in and it

crinkles you don't want that happening

to your rocket at all Starship faces

this by partly burning its existing

cryogenic propellant until it becomes a

gas and expense which is less complex

our Theory however is that this form of

autogenous pressurization was likely the

root cause of the failures on flight

three it's likely that issues with this

came because of the sheer size of

starship's Tanks this means that these

little tanks could help eliminate issues

that have continued to plague them it's

also possible that this new way to

pressurize the tanks is only for the

headers and the rest of the booster will

remain Under autogenous Pressure this is

all pure speculation but it would make

sense especially for the booster section

given its size and propellant capacity

it's also unclear if these tanks have

been on previous flights such as flight

4 if our theory is correct that could be

the reason for flight Four's great

success there is one another thing these

tanks could be for they could act as a

hot fix so that this booster can support

the Lara block 2 Starships such as

holding more propellent this might be

essential since booster 15 was

originally supposed to be a block one

booster but now it must act as an

interim booster kind of like a block 1B

this scenario seems less likely to me

but it can be completely ruled out what

do you think are these new tanks for

pressurization and is SpaceX done with

autogenous pressure ization is SpaceX

making up for the lower capability of

booster 15 or do they simply want to

give booster 15's head a hat tell us

down below in the comments now you may

be wondering what the fate of this

section will be well it will likely be

stacked beneath booster 15 soon this

will likely Mark the end of locks tank

stacking for this prototype which means

that methane tank stacking will soon

commence progress we've talked a lot

about what's going on at the old high

Bay and mega Bay but what about the

newest Bay Mega Bay 2 well after the

test tank was rolled to massie's last

week the only Hardware in mega Bay 2 is

ship 31 or Sparky this ship underwent

cryogenic proof testing on July 3rd to

ensure its systems were ready for engine

installation and flight to accomplish

this the ship was fueled with cryogenic

liquid nitrogen and had hydraulic Rams

pressed up against where the engines

would be installed to simulate the

forces of a launch this test is

important to catch any mistakes early on

that could lead to problems later on

this ship is a good example of that as

it had a problem during its last cryo

proof test a pipe broke causing an

electrical fire that is why this ship is

nicknamed Sparky after this latest Cryer

proof test ship 31 was rolled back to

the build side for checks before its six

rptor engines could be installed it

appears that ship 31 passed all of its

checks so you know what that means it's

time to release the Raptors on the 22nd

and 23rd we saw all six of Sparky's

engines rolled over to meabay 2 and

likely installed shortly after two

vacuum engines and one c-level engine

were installed on the 22nd before the

last vacuum engine the other two se-l

engines were installed on the 23rd we

also caught the serial numbers from many

of these engines all of them are in the

300 range with the highest serial number

being

391 SpaceX gives each manufactured

Raptor engine a number so looking at

these numbers gives an important clue as

to how advanced they are with all six

engines now installed ship 31 is ready

for its next testing regime this will

include a series of smaller engine tests

ending with a full static fire over at

Massie on the new static fire stand but

before ship 31 can do that the static

fire stand needs to be empty right now

there is another ship there so let's

check out what's happening with chip 30

over at Massie after it was rolled over

to Massie last week it was placed over

the flame trench and hooked up to the

quick disconnect which fuels the ship

during tests as a recording ship 30 has

not been static fired however it's

likely to happen soon if it hasn't

already ship 30 will be the next ship to

fly and the first ship with the

redesigned heat shield this includes an

ablative layer beneath as a backup and

stronger heat tiles on top SpaceX has

had problems in the past with tiles

falling off after static fire so it will

be interesting to see how ship 30's new

heat Shield tiles do after this static

Fire Ship 30 should be completely ready

for flight five you got this ship 30 We

are rooting for you since we're over at

massie's test range let's also check out

the other test subject here the new

booster block 2 test tank this test tank

was rolled to massis last week around

the same time as ship 30 however unlike

ship 30 spacex's plan for this tank

remains a bit of a mystery it was loaded

into the new can crusher 2.0 that can

crusher as we call it basically squishes

Starship prototypes to see how they do

under structural stress from what we can

observe the tank appears to be a

structural test Pathfinder for future

block two boosters which we talked about

earlier it appears this tank will be

tested similarly to previous tanks in

the canc Crusher with pistons pulling

down on a lid the only question

remaining is why does it need the extra

Rings why make it so tall it is also

possible that the test SpaceX is

conducting on this tank will not require

these new rings but we'll have to wait

and see now let's take a quick break

from all the news this week and take a

look at a groundbreaking upcoming space

flight Mission if you've been watching

our channel for a while the name Polaris

will be no stranger to you let's see if

you're missing some info Polaris founded

by billionaire Jared isman is a whole

series of crude space flight missions

this isn't Jared's first step into space

expiration either he and three others

were the main payload of the inspiration

for mission to the mission took place

back in 2021 and featured the first

launch of an all civilian crew first

time we had regular old dudes and gals

on a capsule to orbit that mission went

to a low earth orbit and stayed there

for a couple of days awesome cute epic

but what's next enter Polaris Dawn the

first mission in the Polaris program

promises to be way more important the

plan for this flight is to fly to a much

larger high Earth orbit this screw

Dragon will go up and then stay there on

undocked from anything just like on

inspiration 4 the difference on this

mission is the inclusion of a hatch

during inspiration 4 crew Dragon

resilience simply sported a glass Dome

where its docking hatch once was however

for Polaris Dawn it underwent a major

overhaul resilience has now been

outfitted with a hatch which can seal in

air or be opened to allow access to

space the goal of this mission is no

other than the first all civilian Space

Walk no NASA astronauts no Russian and

cosmonauts regular old dudes and GS

space walking people like you and me yep

that is right we're coming to an age

where a private company has all the

means to organize a space walk with

everything needed for it rocket capsule

suit astronauts all SpaceX the four crew

members are Jared isikman Commander

Scott petite pilot tarah Gillis and Anna

Manon Mission Specialists out of those

four two Jared and Sarah will leave the

spacecraft and complete a space walk one

after the other the interesting thing

about this space walk is that all

members of the mission will be in an

unpressurized capsule in this situation

resilience will act somewhat like a

giant airlock the spacecraft will slowly

be depressurized while the crew is

suited up in their SpaceX designed Eva

suits after this the hatch will be

opened Scott and Anna will support the

spacewalk from inside resilience while

Jared and Sarah will complete science

and work outside the spacecraft this

will then conclude with the crew

re-entering the spacecraft and

pressurizing it afterward due to the

wide orbit this Mission will Mark the

highest any human has flown since Apollo

17 in

1972 this Mission sounds like pure

sci-fi how many years until it launches

well the mission could launch as soon as

next month so mark your calendars the

launch date was originally set to July

29th however a recent Falcon 9 mishap in

which the upper stage of a starlink

launch decided to turn turn into a giant

popcorn delayed it a bit the date is now

unannounced but I imagine it will be

swiftly announced as soon as Falcon 9 is

back online this flight will usher in a

new commercial crude space flight era

and pave the way for future Polaris

missions the next Polaris Mission will

be very similar to this one however

Polaris 3 will be the first crude Flight

of the Starship rocket which means it's

important for this mission to go very

smoothly it will be exciting to see what

new possibilities polarus brings to the

table we are proud of the entrepreneurs

who sacrific their hard-earned time and

money to make missions like these a
