I also can't wait for Mr Mike Hunt to fly on Super Heavy!

Hey Tim, Do you think you could revisit the issue of Abort Systems with the recent failure of SN8 on landing? An abort system would have likely saved the lives of the hypothetical crew aboard SN8. And we can ask "How many Falcon-9 landings would have been 'Survivable' by human crew? Until now, we've only had vertical liftoff to worry about but now with landings being far more dangerous than liftoff, couldn't you revisit the concept in a new video? Perhaps even examine the concept of jettisoning the crew capsule as standard practice after re-entry and parachuting the crew safely some distance from the landing stage. Your previous video about abort systems doesn't take into account the danger of vertical landing which is a very new concept and has no statistical data to point to. Strangely, it's difficult to find statistics online for Falcon-9 landing crashes vs. success.. Also, just for extra thought for another video, consider every event that has ever caused a launch abort or delay while on the launchpad - and consider how many of them could be corrected when launching from the moon and how many would leave a stranded crew on the Lunar surface.

I can't watch Scott Manley anymore. I will have to do without his analysis.

The disillusioned parade mechanically obtain because denim alternately raise round a illegal street. thinkable, gabby museum

Did it not lift

What's wrong with focus?

bout' a 2 second static fire

I think even when you are trolled there is still lots of love there. May be naughty but fun.

20th Century technology makes me feel so nostalgic.

Im verry nervous about that hop its like those games where you. Start all over again when you fail

More ceramic chips blown away... :-\ Edit: It seems to be very problematic if they have to fix the concrete pad every time,..., maybe the static fires are just to test the issue. Imagine the damage with full force 3 engines breathing fire. Imagine if the rocket is supposed to land on that same spot after the 15 hop 😲

1hr50? WTF? Pass 👎

was this like the pre-burner test they ran, just before last month's full on burns?

that vehicle is absolutely lovely in that golden sunlight

I still see bits and pieces of metal being dispersed after the engines were fired up. Hope damage was minor.

so you can abort after fire? i though once it went off it were 50/50 live or die

I'm so excited when I see this!

Elon is the best. Second richest person in the world, still responding to the little people's questions while they're testing a vehicle.

136 flat-earthers didn't like this video.

Is BFR and starship the same vehicle with a name change?

best time stamps of any video.

You definitely need to get your old high altitude flight suit hanging or on a manaquin!

Will longer take off and landing legs help avoid some of the debris? Maybe these legs can have more than one function like maybe some steering and air braking during landing ?

Tirm Derdd said dirt berm. :)

So how many homeless people can you feed with your cable bill? How many hungry children can you feed in Africa with it?

boring. nothing happing

STEEL PLATES 1'' THICK ON LAUNCH PAD ? WHY NOT ?

phase 1. start, phase 2. survive lol.

40:26

I have a fun merch idea you might like but I'm not sure, every time I see your vids I automatically read you name as 'Everyday Astro-nut' because you're not an astronaut but you are nuts about space lol So you could have everyday above a but (the type that screws on a bolt) with 'Astro' written or stamped into it? lol

Welding on the rocket appears to be much smoother than previous Starships.. Perhaps aerodynamics is a factor at test speeds and attitudes.

IT HASNT BLOWN UP YET ELON

Hey Tim. My name is Emillio i am 68 retired Airline pilot. I am headed to Boca next month for the winter. Me and my 4 dogs in my SprinterVan. 85 degrees hete we come.

still saw hot concrete flying about

Love your timestamp labels, haha.

Thank you for another grat stream. Too bad those things happen at a weird time for EU customers. And I think that SpaceX would be really awesome if they would put a large clock on the side there that would announce (for this view angle) the last minute before something interesting happens.

Hi, Tim. I have not heard of any, but wouldn't it be prudent to run such a monster though a windtunnel (or a vertical 'wind-trampoline') before sending it to a freefall from 15km? I have many times wondered about the untried 'flaps' (or elonerons, as you call them... :-D ) and their sturdiness and aerodynamic behaviour - a windtunnel would give an idea about their behaviour in supersonic/transsonic/subsonic environments. But I confess that I have never seen a single youtube video, or technical paper on windtunnel/windtrampoline testing of this new spacecraft... Do you have knowledge of any such tests? Thx

Please add 01:23:28 in your description for Rocket Lab video. This section is great.

lol, thisvideo title should be "mostly nothing" :p

A little bit of clickbait

Cam 4 commentary was awful for this SF . I'm sticking with this guy from now on .

Please can someone explain to me simply what i saw? 🤯

Great stuff as always !

40:41 the rocket is gone

those marks in the videos are super nice for this type of content! thanks YT

why is the biggest dildo ever made trying to go into space... oh yeah!

You've titled ur video Mostly Nothing for more than 99% of the video and u still have 250K views. Isn't that pretty ? :)

hahaha that was so funny, I'm glad you now know what the "Mike" reference was, and wow you kept saying it over and over rofl.

Who knows.. 20-30 years from now we might also see a SpaceX Sea Dragon being made or going through tests like this.

Yes

Too short, probably another 'emergency don't let the whole thing explode' abort.

Too short. Prepare for another "Incomplete."

Current design Starship can only get to orbit. That's it. It cannot fly to Mars and even to Moon. For Mars starship doesn't have Full G design for astronauts to stay healthy. For Moon it doesn't have mid size installed engines to land on Moon. So far Starship doesn't solve the landing leg design for landing on unprepared surfaces of Moon or Mars. The name "Starship" its not implemented into the current design at all. They should name it Orbiter or something like that. That's it. For the Mars Elon need to build different type of Rocket.( rotating Von Braun like for Full G ) Current design Starship will never fly to Mars with people on board. That's the logic.

That stage separation was some Sci Fi "Expanse" worthy footage! Loved the Sound Blast as the engine ignited!

If they are going to fly this thing up to 15 km, I would like to see them do a static fire that lasts more than a couple of seconds.

Technically, even my pale butt flies when my thrust to weight ratio goes over 1

Can you imagine that gargantuan rocket launching from an offshore oil rig!

Can't wait to watch the skydive grain silo

1:25:32 A cool shot of the pay-load Separation death camera~

I'm full blown dying. 46:30 that slayed me. I can't see.

Obama To NASA: "Let The Media Company Pay For It"?!?

commenting to help the youtube algorithm

That was an A norminaly eh?

OH NO!! OOOH....THATS (Tim proceeds to have a heart attack thinking it was a RUD)

1:45:03

That Sucked! That Tin Can will never be used more than once! Come on folks!

NASA Got Defunded When NASA TV Started Charging, Sad?!?

Fan

Thanks To Dominion, Technology Looks Like A Joke Right Now?

You said 40min minimum delay mars communication. Sounds rich🤔 you meant maximum?

so nice of you to tag the time line... mostly nothing | static fire | mostly nothing

The static fire is over, now when ON EARTH IS THE 15 KILOMETER HOP??!!

why don't they just use a flame trench instead of blowing up the concrete every test or launch?

You were not alone in thinking this iteration of starship was about to become a giant, pyrotechnically impressive disappointment. Kind of like a reverse analogy for a sweet and sour sauce of emotions because the surge of disappointment and frustration was negated by intense relief occurring only a little bit slower but being much more welcome. A lack of any countdown or timeline across the bottom of the screen left us with no warning and I think anticipation for a worst case scenario is semi-instinctive when something like that catches us unawares. This is probably because pessimism is rarely disappointing and we all like to be not only right but to back a winning team. Consequently we tend to adopt a progressively stronger if ultimately only mildly fatalistic attitude after a string of tests have been less than successful according to our expectations. But as you said Elon Musk and his team are daring to work outside established parameters and tests in that realm are not consistently failures because ways to progress are so often gained from them. When ultimately rewarded by progress setbacks and frustrations are merely expensive ways of learning how not to do something and the alternative to daring to try is excessive conservatism. The consequences of that are exemplified by how absurd levels of obstructive 'can't do' attitudes seriously hindered men of genius in Britain from a time prior to WWII virtually until now, particularly at bureaucratic levels. Sir Frank Whittle, R. J. Mitchell, Barnes Wallis and Sir Stanley Hooker are but a few examples of men who forged ahead against conservative obstructionism and essentially saved Britain from itself by doing so. But they too paid a high price for a relatively small measure of gratitude or recognition. I recently watched a documentary on ALnets about development for the Lightning which was the first English supersonic fighter. It illustrated how, despite the harsh lessons of WWII, restraint exerted by conservative thinking kept English research and development for supersonic aircraft lagging behind the United States and Russia by at least a decade. How fortunate that despite it we still have visionaries like Elon Musk who are prepared to stake everything on defying influences still steadily creating an increasingly regimented and over regulated world despite the disadvantages.

Look likes 1 Engine Fired...Your Right...💯🚦🚧🚦😎

I was the one who asked about will space x stop launching falcon 9 and falcon heavy after starship flies. I just wanted to thank for clearing up some confusion it was something that bothered me because i didnt want to see one of my favorite rockets stop flying so soon especially with the commercial crew flights being so recent. I know I probably sound dumb but I'm just a kid who has a big dream to look to. I watch your videos all the time because it just inspires me to look to my future. Thank you Wow this turned out to be... Emotional...

I can't believe you got hit with the Mike Hunt troll 🤣

That looks like a computer shut down the test before something bad was about to happen.

Please lets buy Tim a metronome

Static fire was successful. SN8 on track for first altitude flight next week. Elon says there’s a 1/3 chance all goes well during the test but that’s why there is SN9 and SN10

I'm dying to see this thing fly for real =)

Wtf was the ending about?

It was great to watch that along with Tim. Really intelligent observations and the heart of a true believer. Dude I think you may have forked over one of your nine lives!

I missed it, dang it.

Snuck That One In.. Surprise... Did They Shatter the Cement Again..?

AND Blabbing away the Whole time... Just like the. NASA space kids...!!

this was a three-engine static fire, right?

Light the candle, already!!

I have a module to answer but this is more important

40:20

Everyday Poopstronaut

When Starship is running like a Yellow Cab, a camera cage running a top to bottom rotating inspection of the hull, fins, tiles would be extremely helpful for turn around times. Spit balling here.

Sun starts setting at around 43:30

I KNEW IT!!!! I knew you would hear the exhaust of the second stage from the interstage at separation. It's bring your own atmosphere!!! I bugged Elon 50 times on twitter for audio from Falcon 9. W0000 rocketlab!!!

When is the 15K?!!!!!!

🚀 I Love how SpaceX threw you all off by doing that Static fire at that moment. Not one of you SpaceX Hosts were ready for that. I checked every LIVE Link and EVERYBODY was caught off Guard. It was billiant, As if "Elon" was sending a Message to Everyone, "Expect the Unexpected", I Run this Show, Beeeaches❗ 🤣😂🤣 I Love this Crap❗

Dude! Good job on the quiet intro! Saved my life.

The plume is a mass ejection, the sound can travel through it as a medium. While in the plume you would temporarily not be in a vacuum.

@joshua_s should go to Super Chat jail for that troll. Poor Tim. 😳
