What do you think? Are these new tanks for pressurization, and is SpaceX done with autogenous pressurization? Is SpaceX making up for the lower capability of booster 15? Or do they want to give Booster 15’s head a hat?

@pogospin984 Месяц назад

Definitely a hat... Booster was looking too flat before!

asd Hi, Elon Musk employees and advisors are always cheaters; they cheat his own companies... same stile than NASA; they dont understand that by doing this they will lose thousands of years on technological aspects. If you can contact Elon Musk tell him to hire me... I have much better technologies than all his projects. Their employees and partners copied from me some technologies... but I am thousands of years ahed...

@rmichaelsm Месяц назад

I wonder if these hold the required amount of fuel for the landing that way, if for any reason the tanks were to run low, this reserve amount would allow still to reach tower. Or maybe this is an abort amount of fuel in case they can’t catch and these provide the fuel to fly it back to ocean to abort.

Better than Rocket is here Easy lift off Easy land on with antigravity Spaceship No Fire No Explosion No Flame Just Spin and Lift off Powered by Baterry Work base on Gravity just spinning by using Battery can fly in bad weather, plunge in the ocean even in outer space Can lift more than 100 Ton Earth which weight predict 600 trillion ton does not fall at the Sun because of centrifugal in orbitting, on the contrary it does not be thrown far go out the orbit line of hold by gravity at the Sun as orbit center. Gravity and centrifugal is equal called Equillibrium, thats why until now Earth which we was inhabited always rotate and circulate the Sun. Now we justly take example : how if the gravity used and centrifugal is negated? The Earth will float far leave the Sun. So that centrifugal can be used to fly far away if gravity eliminated. Finally how to eliminate gravity? It’s way rotate part of aircraft by horizontal. When that rotation faster centrifugal force getting greater and the gravity getting smaller, finally it lose the gravity and the aircraft start flying. Of course people would surprise: how the aircraft can keep rotate without fulcrums? Thats why we named that aircraft Shuttling System that is aircraft likes two disc adjoining attached in the midle as fulcrums: A. The Top part, we name Positive rotate to right, and the edges is getting thicker and havier. B. The Buttom part, we name Negative rotating to left, and the edges is getting thicker and havier. C. Middle Part , we name Neutral, air crew placed and also machine and everythings turning Negative and Positive at the same time. The aircraft can liftup added with explosion from the engine. However that aircraft construction later, let the engineer doit it, and we are sure the aircraft will bulletproof and also waterproof. . .

@otpyrcralphpierre1742 Месяц назад

My postulation is that these tanks are for landing pressurization. The autogenous pressurization system has water vapor in it, thus leading to ice build-up in the tank and blocking the intakes for the engines. Some of the autogenous system will still be used, but until they figure out how to remove the water vapor from it, it will be secondary to the small tanks, likely full of Helium.

@wildbillnye Месяц назад

Some good reasons NOT to catch the booster on the tower: Untill they have a 99.99% landing success rate the risk of destroying a tower on landing is too great. If they catch the boosters at sea they will gain some payload capacity, and they'll be able to inspect and refurbish them in queue, so even though it would require more boosters overall, it could potentially increase launch cadence because they could launch one booster, and have several more ready to mount and launch, with much less risk of destroying a launch tower. Losing a tower would be a huge detriment to launch cadence. Also with the current gameplan they're going to build a habit of getting the booster inspected and refurbished as fast as possible after it lands on the tower, which will lead to accidents.

@IMYOURWILL Месяц назад

I guess y'all don't know construction. Look they only have to connect the bolts and the 4 corners and maybe in the center then they are ready to stack the next. Everything has already been installed on each section so that's not going to slow them down.

@dphuntsman Месяц назад

That’s a very critical point for the future; including, for example, folks at say RocketLab. Their new Neutron will have a reusable 1st stage but still expendable 2nd stage. Once they go thru birthing pains for the first stage & are flying regularly, any operational failures they end up having will probably happen…on the ‘new’ 2nd stage that is flown each flight. - Dave Huntsman

@simongeard4824 Месяц назад

Even on non-reusable vehicles, second-stage failures make up the majority of incidents... e.g. RocketLab have never had an Electron booster fail, but they've had a few second-stages malfunction, and the same can be said of most of the industry. I suspect it's simply that first-stages can test a lot of their operations while still on the ground (e.g. static fires), while second-stages have to ignite their engines in freefall, and have to operate them in a vacuum... much harder to ground-test.

stacking should be quick, assuming, that from an engineering perspective, if you have built out each section with all the necessary plumbing, electrical, and interconnects, getting those built and transported has taken months and been the challenge. I expect the full 9 to be stacked within the next 30 days IF they are in fact complete segments and don't need further work on the ground. I like the approach they have taken to build it like a lego block tower.

Still think it would be a good idea to manufacture an airlock module for space walks thatthey can dock to and leave in orbit or docked to the ISS, and can be reused over and over in the future

Falcon 9 didn't fail! The second stage did...

@mattkingston6157 Месяц назад

Nobody else refers to their rockets by separate names. Falcon 9 is the entire rocket including all stages. Same with Saturn V, Delta II, The Space shuttle, and every other rocket ever made. The second stage is a part of the falcon 9 rocket. Has falcon 9 ever flown without its second stage? No it hasn’t ever

@Barthhhelona Месяц назад

Semantics.

@bewArcher Месяц назад

@@mattkingston6157 not in this case...because clearly it's different... the booster can be used in other launches...the second stage doesn't. The booster didn't fail, it delivered the second stage and came back, landed and was recovered. So imo you can't use the same classification between non recoverable rockets and falcon 9.

Falcon 9 has two stages: A 1st stage and a 2nd stage. You’re welcome. - Dave Huntsman

@AmgineIX Месяц назад

Nonsense. The second stage is absolutely part of the falcon 9 rocket

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="295">4:55</a> only one stud at either side for the arms to catch the rocket looks tricky to me… should be a lot more I think.. to have a successful catch

@3v1Bunny Месяц назад

testing a catch next to a fuel depo.. yeah sounds good.

I would to see this channel and others start a movement to have the first manned Starship to be named “Enterprise” What do you think?

@coreymacgregor176 Месяц назад

I’m surprised they haven’t done more testing with starship landing. They need better landing legs imo

@McCarthyJohn100 Месяц назад

I thought Elon said there's about a 50% chance of attempting the booster catch on return. Depending on how every step goes, they may bring the booster down elsewhere, but if everything goes well then they will continue with the mechazilla test catch.

@TallinuTV Месяц назад

Smaller tanks on the booster header do seem most likely to be for pressurization, although with that many, maybe not just of the header tank? Not sure how many is normal for a tiny tank like that…

👍 to the commentary. Although, the live broadcasts could use some technical adjustments after that strong intro music. Striking a balance takes time but tweekable along the way.

@aaaza78a98 Месяц назад

you should ad something about no gravity inside the tank while landing, like while to the parabolic flight

Random out of box thought...Falcon Super Heavy (5 Stage 1s where 4 outer cores are recovered and central acting as a large Stage 2) could lift significant porions of a future space station in a single lift

@simongeard4824 Месяц назад

No it couldn't. There'd be very little benefit in such a vehicle, because Falcon Heavy is already very limited in what it can do... it's not short of power, but it can't lift *big* payloads due to being a skinny rocket with a small-ish fairing. Adding two more cores will give you marginally more mass to orbit, but it doesn't help unless that mass is very compact.

@guydanielsau Месяц назад

@simongeard4824 Who says the most upper stage has to be the same diameter as the stage 1. Starliner has a larger diameter than its 2nd stage. You could have the final load with a diameter of three Falcon 9s

@simongeard4824 Месяц назад

@@guydanielsau It doesn't have to be the _same_ diameter, but if it's much bigger, you can't fit a fairing around it.... and even if you could, it's not great aerodynamically to have a giant wide fairing at the front of a very skinny rocket. Starliner is an interesting comparison in that respect - it doesn't launch _inside_ a fairing, but it does need that weird skirt below the service module to remedy the aerodynamic problems caused by the size mismatch.
