StarShip, StarLiner, Chang'e 6 & Oh Dear Moon - Deep Space Updates June 8th 

SpaceX delivered on their promise to make space boring.

This. But at the same time, it is kinda awesome that the Falcon launches AND booster landings are so routine and "boring" now.

We're tired of seeing them too.

No worry, it will be done soon.

​@@user-db1iu2fw8zYa at tax payers expense, well US ones.

Tere is no police in space push that thing

Capture it in a starship and bring her home....

NSA won’t want that in any museum. Hubble is essentially an NSA spy satellite turned the other way. One (Hubble) looking out, multiple looking down at us.

​@@ThefreakyfreekThere are a lot of places in space to put it

​@@alienblade2005 Wait that's what he was trying to say?! Space is out of space?! 😂

HAHAHAHAHAH. No it won’t. It’s a joke.

​@@cowpotpi3 I am coming back to mock you in 5 years

I'm sure it'll be awesome for a very long time, it's a very big rocket!

​@@cowpotpi3

I expect it to take quite a bit longer to get there though, Starship has revealed massive engineering challenges so far, and I believe there to be even more unknowns in the future. With the F9 it was only a few short years but if I were a betting man I'd say the window from success to routine for starship may be closer to a decade.

I love that.

Makes it difficult for astronauts to judge their altitude. It's one reason the Apollo landings were all made with the sun behind the ship, so that the pilots could see the shadow of the LM in front of them and use it to judge height and ground speed.

​@@RCAvhstapeyikes!

And making scary sharp dust, look up the work of Phil Metzger...

It's concave turtles all the way down

The best passengers for an experimental space trip around the moon would be flat-Earthers. Mission works? They come back with proof they were wrong (though they may deny it to keep the money coming in). Mission fails? We're down a few flat-Earthers.

@@MonkeyJedi99 Hah. They'd just claim that some halucogenic gas was piped into the fake spaceship that never left the ground. We'd have expended a vehicle and spent a lot of money, and still have the same number of flat Earthers.

@@ghost307 Nah, it's much easier if the so-called 'windows' are really TV screens.

Give it time, it'll happen. Maybe not that specific person, but once space travel becomes more common place, it will.

@@MonkeyJedi99 you've just converted me! The Earth is flat! Where do I sign up??

I cut stuff out too!!!!

@@scottmanley you do what you have to do to reach orbit. Fly safe 🫡

@@scottmanley I hope that the extended cut of this episode exists where you go on a tangent about Bobbie Draper, instead of just showing the article mentioning The Expanse in the background 😃

​@aaronfranklbin324 >>> Huh??

He is not last of the apollo astronauts and can you just stop pretending that they never went to the moon? Wait that guy deleted his comment ... i guess he couldnt handel reason

@@aaronfranklin324 Twenty-four astronauts went to the Moon; three made the trip twice.

@aaronfranklin324 There is undeniable proof that the moon landings were real, if you still believe in the hoax that claimed it was fake you need help. 2. While most of the Apollo astronauts have sadly passed away, there are still several who went to the moon and are alive, namely: Jim Lovell(Apollo 8 and 13) Buzz Aldrin(Apollo 11) Fred Haise(Apollo 13) David Scott(Apollo 15) Charles Duke(Apollo 16) Harrison Schmitt(Apollo 17) So no, some Apollo astronauts are still alive, and for dear god, the Apollo mission was real. Use your brain. Nearly half a million people watched the Apollo 11 launch alone. There is no way to fake that many people. The Apollo mission was real, but your braincells probably aren’t. ;)

Bucky your hair is in zero gravity

I hope they can figure out what happened. Because that's a hell of a way to die. Poor guy. At least he went out doing something he loved.

@@vicroc4 what? loops

@@edmundooliver7584 You seem to think you know all the circumstances of what happened. Explain it to me, then.

@@vicroc4 I don't know - but at 91, you have to think, at nearly 91 years of age - did he decide that was the way he wanted to go? And if so, good for him!

@@vicroc4 he had a heart attack up side down.

That's a pretty clever idea. I like that. And this is only somewhat sarcastic, but now your task is to become incredibly wealthy and fund that project. Go Space Museum!

@@dbf1dware And now your task is to become incredibly wealthy so you can visit it.

A fun idea, but not viable long term. Putting a bunch of space junk together risks something unforseen disrupting the mass and sending tons of debris in every direction. It's a known hazard, called Kessler Syndrome.

And how do you propose to move Hubble - never mind a bunch of satellites on completely different orbits, near or empty of propellant (that probably didn’t have enough DV ability to move to said parking orbit from where they are anyway) - to this “museum orbit”? Build a space crane?

Build an O'Neill Cylinder around it. The Smithsonian can run it.

If anyone would use Windows for their spacecraft, it would be Boeing.

Are you sure you don't want to upgrade to Windows 11? Really sure? Really really sure?

Probably running Windows7

@@kesslerrb The last good one

@@AQDuck You worked at Boeing?

To me, that quote also sounds like they sent a perfectly fine poet as well.

Scott is a mensch.

Haha! Kicking him while he's down!

Hopefully Tim has the language to describe a ride in your minivan.

Poor old Tim… promised the biggest wish list item of your life and then have it cancelled like this. Gut shot.

Why didn't he get to go?

Honestly, watching this series has opened my eyes to just how routine unmanned satellite launches are. Maybe we are making progress, not just the flashy stuff

Ceres 1, although that sounds the same when spoken aloud.

The space flight event of the year for sure...

Made me crack up

So he will continue chilling for Musk

@@AG-ig8uf Still begging for crumbs from the billionaires lmao.

​@@AG-ig8uf He covers SpaceX and pretty much only mentions Elon if he gives a Starship update. You can hate Elon to your heart's desire but that doesn't stop SpaceX from doing cool things in space.

STM... Shanghai Tim to Mars!!!

​@@countryman032 SpaceX's achievements can be as cool as hell yet I can't help but get 2nd hand embarrassment from people sucking up to billionaires to try to get a ride to space. I mean all else being equal I'd prefer to have an alternate reality with we have fantastic youtube channels covering space tech without the part where they try to beg from a Japanese billionaire and then an American one if that fails. Always thought Dear Moon was cringe. If the engineers continue to do an amazing job then the cost of space travel will come down and you won't have to beg billionaires for it. Elon's dream of Mars colonization depends on prices dropping that much at least.

Wishing you well. It’s not easy but hang in there. You don’t have to go it alone.

I’ve noticed that Magnesium Glycinate centered my mind in a really pleasant way. While I didn’t have your mental health troubles that you do, it may help you.

Thank you for not putting an "AI enhanced" picture of your face in the thumbnail.

Please yes! Or steamy? To honor southpark 😂

I'd rather go peacefully in my sleep, instead of experiencing those final seconds of terror, knowing you're going to die and your beloved airplane will be reduced to shreds, and having your loved ones experience the trauma of knowing that your body is also torn apart. No thanks.

SpaceX gave us the tonic to realize the likes of Boeing/Blue Origin/etc have been bilking NASA and the public. NASA is the naked emperor.

But it's not a good design. I would go back to a lifting body and fully rely on thruster because that works.

Change his first name to “Very” and you get the perfect Sir name.

Her chin hit the shutdown switch last attempt 😂😂😂

​@@ChatGPT1111OMG! Glad you said that, so I didn't have to!!! It can't be 'natural' like that, can it??

No

Other astronauts are visiting the space station, but she looks like she just came home.

💯It was so great to see how happy she was when she got on board the ISS. Considering how long she had to wait after all the delays I hope NASA gives her a plum assignment like an Artemis flight before she retires.

It looks like big hugs. 🙂

In a few years Starship will be able to pick it up and bring it back in one piece.

@@Fogmeister You might be a little optimistic with that timeframe. They are certainly way faster then the fossils at ULA, but that is still way to optimistic for a capability.

When they did the final fix, they attached a plate to it all allow a robotic event. A dragon probably could be made that can attach, hook in and do a boost. Or possibly they simply build a clamp on satellite that has both a bunch of reaction wheels and an ion drive.

@@rh906dude, starhopper was only 5 years ago. Starship literally didn’t exist only “a few years ago”. They’ll be able to grab Hubble in 2 years max at this race

That’s why he also said to put it into a higher, more stable orbit to park it there until we can get it back down.

I would watch that dance ;-)

That's because none of that is true. FFS put down the SpaceX cool-aid. Falcon 9 came 35 years after the first reusable rocket and spacecraft. You might have heard of it. The SRB and the Space Shuttle. Falcon 9 has flown over 350 times with 2 failures (which is pretty good, but certainly not 100.0%). But it has only successfully landed 98.7% of the time for the latest version. Its percentage is far worse than that if you go back to the beginning. Learn some history.

Because light is electromagnetic radiation. Your eyes see radiation.

​@@scottmanleyit just sounds violent at first haha

Radiation ≠ Ionizing Radiation. Hard to remember as they are used interchangeably at times.

​@@scottmanley"exploder" "explorer"...

@@AzureImperium7701X Why scaring the average idiot is so easy.

Fuck yeah, Drummer's the best

I was hoping it was named after Charles Stark Draper, but the guidance system is more relevant to that name-sake.

Uhhhh Starship? That thing only melts

@@cowpotpi3that was kinda the whole point of launching it. Do people not understand that this is how spacex test its rockets? NASA tries to perfect a rocket and then launch it. Spacex builds a rocket and then launches to see what happens. Spacex is able to innovate on and perfect their rockets usually much faster than NASA this way. These starship rockets are test rockets.

​​@@cowpotpi3atleast it landed. Starliner with a helium leaks could make reentry angle very dangerous which could be another columbian disaster.

SpaceX failures are necessary. Boeing failures are catastrophic.

@@Kentuckyhunter58yes people like this understand what SpaceX does but they are trolling.

Starship melted and you say nothing of that?

Oh, Starship was not wonderful either, but it is still a prototype and not a human rated vehicle yet. They need to go back and do a clean sheet redesign on those flap tiles around those flaps.

@@LeonAust There weren’t two astronauts on Starship, were there?

This donut I had was disappointing. "Why don't you talk about what you had for lunch the next day??"... 🤨

The leak, and then the RCS thruster issue.

Got any nicknames that'll make them froth more? I love making execs look like rabid lil chipmunks

@@dennydravis8758RD

No, it's the physics of a falling object under 10,000ft. You sound like you've never heard of a parachute.

@@kennethc2466 I hope that you understand that a parachute for something that big is not practical; therefore slowing to terminal velocity before firing up the rocket engines is as good as it gets, which is well below super-sonic speed. That was and still is my point.

@@surferdude4487 "Slows to terminal velocity" I don't think you understand the definition of terminal velocity.

@@kennethc2466 Starship doesn't have a parachute my dude.

@@UnitSe7en Terminal velocity is the speed at which the force of gravity is balanced by the friction force of passing through the air. FYI, objects entering the atmosphere at orbital velocity are moving many times their terminal velocity. That is the reason that using the atmosphere to slow down works. I think that maybe you don't understand how reentry works.

Suni's chin caused the shutdown. On the plus side, her chin is going to give us our next eclipse 😂😂😂

I was surprised too, at first. But then I realized how on-brand that is for the entire Boeing operation. As were those 1-frame-per-second telemetry visuals that looked like they came from a Windows 2K app.

Simpler, cheaper and better in every way to design a new "Hubble" and get it up there.

i'm going to take it in manually

Other X-wing pilots, "Oh look, the hotshot redneck moisture farmer who's never flown a fighter in his life walked into our ready room with a flight suit and an opinion, and now he thinks he's going to hit that target with no computer....oh, wow, he did it, waddya know?"

It was just Sunni's chin

It's a windows update, curse you microsoft

​@@ChatGPT1111 More chad than you'll ever be lil bro.

On a Russian first stage... Is just icing on the tax-payer-cake

Boeing's (fortunately) losing tons of money on starliner. They were foolish enough to do is as a set-fee contract.

Yes, soooo unfortunately true! With twice the funding of SpaceX and loads of pre-existing infrastructure + supposedly talented/experienced workforce, and a reputation as a leading player in US aerospace industy for 80+ years, any sane person has to ask: Where did the $$$ go? With exactly the same (NASA) customer requirements, how could they consistantly be years behind schedule, failing to achieve even cargo deliveries to ISS? Until this week of course, delivering 2 test pilots (minimal lives risked, no science specialists) and critical supplies safely -finally! Question is : can it fly twice in the same year, as the multiple Helium leaks in the fuel system may require a teardown? Are the leaks isolated to the support module, which is single use, or replicated in the crew capsule? Will this same capsule design be funded to fly again, crew isnt safely home yet? Besides being capable of landing on dirt, does it do anything better than Dragon that justifies the cost? What booster can it fly on, since ULA's Atlas5 isnt made anymore, and Vulcan has only flown once? Lots of TBDs left.

I think at that age I would want to go out with a bang rather than lie in a bed for the rest of my life

Maybe maybe. RiP

True. I believe the Hubble was a surplus spy satellite that the military didn't need (they built one more than necessary in case one blew on launch) so they gave it away to NASA. That's the only reason we have it at all. Absolute madness.

More than 5. And Hubble wouldn't exist if it weren't for those pointed down.

@@sheldoniusRex I know, I'm saying that's a bad thing.

I was never meant to happen, I feel. It was just Elonbabble.

And everything is hard metal in those capsules. It’s not a car or truck interior.

Why on the far side?

The far side isn't being distracted by the Earth in the way.

It still has a few years, operating on one gyro they think it can last to 2030. JWST is more powerful in most ways and is doing just fine. The Nancy Grace Roman telescope is set to be up there by 2027 and that one is a direct replacement for Hubble. It's a greatly upgraded Hubble with a coronagraph. It's named after the woman who designed the Hubble. There is also a massive ground based one coming online next year and the habitable worlds observatory in development.

@@Appletank8 Good point.

making and operating an optical telescope anywhere on the moon will be difficult due to the lunar dust. it sticks to everything like styrofoam beads do. it's also incredibly sharp and abrasive since there's no wind or water to weather & round those sharp edges (bad news for mirrors & lenses). nasty stuff that is one of the biggest challenges to extended stays on the moon. the Apollo 17 spacesuits were nearly wrecks after only 22 hour on the surface

Incredible!
