sorry I have a different issue. Since the lunar starship will never make it back to earth, it may have a servicing problem with the raptor engines. The lunar decent thrusters will be accessible from the entirior and hence easier to service.
@Had Tobe - FYI, the earth isn't flat. And if you've been on any trans-atlantic flights (and paid attention - through viewing outside the aircraft) you would know this..
@Had Tobe - The earth is round. It's you that are delusional. I've made enough flights, and have been high enough up on mountains to say with assurity that the earth is round.
I actually quite enjoyed the boats circling the capsule! It was almost a statement that space is here for all of us now, but we can all have our own opinions. Bob said he loved the people there cheering and waving flags at splashdown. Just think “ashamed” wasn’t the right word
W.A.I. is making it possible for us to see the step-by-step process a building ships that will take us to other worlds. I really feel like we are on the verge of something as a species. And I know all kind of cool facts and specs of these awesome new ships. I really feel like I'm able to nerd out on a completely new level. This channel rocks!
@@jvckrs yes he does. I also subscribe to his channel and watch all of his videos. I think what about it is slightly more entertaining but both factually accurate and nerdy to the max..oh yeah
@@smallstars What equipment? It will be for sound suppression only. If a little salt water gets on any equipment, it can be rinsed off with a LOT less fresh water than what would be used for an entire launch.
Why it is a shame for the spectators during splashdown... That view of a landing capsule cant see everybody. It's like to see two shooting stars at once... 😅
I believe the items lowered from the top by crane were the reinforcers they use to attach a crane to SN8 and lift it. This means, more than likely, the nose cone will be riding out very soon.
3d printed buildings made out of lunar concrete would still require a lot of water which is heavy to bring with. So would need to extract water from the surface which is mostly only near the poles (I think).
The boaters who crashed the splash down site for DM-2 were a danger both the themselves and the capsule. That capsule contained hypergolic fuels whose corrosivity, toxicity, and carcinogenicity is well established. It would have been terrible if there were tragedies occurring because these folks wanted to make a political statement.
@KenDroid66 - and I get it, supporting the POTUS does always supersede public safety. He's shown that time and time again. But it is not out of realm of possibilities for a swell to come along and knock one of the boats into the capsule. There's a reason why the SpaceX recovery vessels approach slowly and sample the air before proceeding. It is an inherently dangerous environment until the capsule is safed.
@KenDroid66 - well fortunately for SpaceX they don't have people like you running their recovery operations who feel that anything more complex than a beer can isn't worth their time or attention
(5:23 into the video.) Felix, Perhaps the flight hardware was installed into SN08 for test fitment. But before the pressure test SpaceX removed the hardware in case SN08 did not pass.
6:33 If you will examine the two columns at the ends of and supporting the main truss you will see they are very small in relation to the corner column. The main truss is of sufficient material size and chord depth to hold a decent load, but it is only hung at the tops of the ends (two points) and not the bottoms also (four points) like conventional practice. There are no visible crane attachment points or holes that I can see. If I had to guess, the small support columns with only two main truss attachment points and no visible crane beam seats or holes makes me believe that there will not be a crane. But I would expect one or two of the elevating work scaffolds used before in mid bay. One last point to ponder.....The two areas at the sides have bottom chord bracing which lowers the ceiling height, while the center work space has no bracing and so has a higher inside height. (I would watch the floor for maybe rail tracks for a couple of mobile work stands to move the stacks from the sides to the middle for the transporter to drive under and pick up when they are done.)
My best guess for the load the crane is lowering from SN8 looks (to me) to be covering materials to protect the Tesla battery pack during construction, now not needed.
i'd like to see NASA/SpaceX revisit the Space 1999 Eagle-1 lander for lunar orbit to surface cargo transfers. Sure it was TV-Sci-Fi, but the Eagle's design was highly practical.
Ok... take two Dianetics landers, join them together at the top by mounting with lifting frame capable of holding four Dianetcs lander modules .The dianetics lander is basically the landing legs and assent motors. Strap a crew dragon on one end and a vacuum Raptor on the other end and there you have it... one home made off the shelf Eagle.
Just heard SN8 initial pressurization was too short. With regard to pressurization I will be very interested to know if it affected the operation of the wings afterward. The hull gets put under load when pressurized. Things deform under load which makes that a subject of top priority. Be absolute hell to get a wing stuck as you rocket to the surface of Mars. In fact after the test I would take it apart and do a laser alignment check to see how it changed. If it's nothing or very little then you know that. If there is a problem the only solution will be to add a circumferential frame at each hinge point.
Was that a valve station lowered down like we see them install on top of starships for personal tests? Perhaps needed a new or different one from cryo?
I just wanted to thank you for these episodes. With how crazy the world has become, our progress in space is one of the last things that reliably renews my hope for the future.
Austin is looking more and more like a new technological center thanks to Tesla and Space X. Along with companies like Icon, it's sure to be a magnet for bright young (and old) engineers and start ups. The more a community grows, the more a community grows. Gonna be fascinating to watch.
What was it they took down from SN8?
Addendum to today's Episode: Check @FelixSchlang for a video of the SN8 Cryogenic testing!
It’s was the cryo test!!
6:06 so are you telling us that SN8 will not survive the static fire?
Most likely a extra battery that died or something or something that will be replaced
Luca Greco no, he’s just saying he’ll be gone for vacation, and he will skip the next 3 episodes. And if they do the hop, he’s going to do one
sorry I have a different issue. Since the lunar starship will never make it back to earth, it may have a servicing problem with the raptor engines. The lunar decent thrusters will be accessible from the entirior and hence easier to service.
Thank you Felix for helping document history in the making
It's an honor!
I would happily sweep those lunar landing pads for free.
You're durned tootin'!
yeah with my tongue even!...wait...
I would scrub toilets on the moon for minimum wage.
@@sebione3576 I'd pay them to scrub their toilets
If anything, you'd be working off the cost of getting you there. 😁
Between SpaceX and Icon, Texas is quickly becoming the 'Silicon Valley of space technology'!
Jeff who? (juuust joking! ;)
@Vuk Bajic nah seriously, Jeff who?
With Houston space centre its already up there!!
Uhh, there's a reason the first word uttered on the Moon was *Houston.*
@Vuk Bajic but seriously Jeff Who?
Thanks Felix. Another great episode. Have a great time off.
"SNX" is such a cool codename, I love it!
Honda "NSX" is not a good sports car.
Aka "snacks"
@Had Tobe - FYI, the earth isn't flat. And if you've been on any trans-atlantic flights (and paid attention - through viewing outside the aircraft) you would know this..
@Had Tobe - The earth is round. It's you that are delusional. I've made enough flights, and have been high enough up on mountains to say with assurity that the earth is round.
@Had Tobe - Good, you'll finally see that it is round
Enjoy your time off. Well deserved. Thank you for what you do, Felix.

Foolish, once they realized what hypergolics are.
Great to see you back,hope you had a nice vacation...!! 🌝 🚙
I did! Thank you very much! :)
Well done sir, you're always very informative and you credit your sources like a proper professional.
Anyone else notice he's not subscribed in the screenshot of lab padre’s stream? Lmao
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING lol it’s probably a mistake
That was my editors screen. Shame on my editor! ;)
The editor probably clicked subscribe twice just to make sure.
I've liked this channel so much I accidentally unlike lol, but then ik patiently wait to click it again
@@nathannoumenon9988 🤣
Absolutely amazing video. Enjoy your vacation.
How fast does this guy make these videos? All this home office stuff is hard enough without Felix fueling my Starship obsession!
BRILLIANT AS ALWAYS FELIX, CONGRATULATIONS.
These episodes should be on Netflix :P better than any of those documentaries I've seen about space...
Tell that to Netflix! :D
@@Whataboutit U ROCK!
'Olympus' sounds bad ass
Agreed!
Well i bet its named after olympus mons, the largest volcano in our solar system on mars
Had Tobe no it’s dinosaur shaped
@@Alab.A which is named after the mountain on earth, but yea
No, the earth is an icosahedron, sort of flat and sort of round. Now everyones happy.
Another great video! Thanks, Felix!
Nice wall paper. Looks good my friend
Thanks for all you do, Felix and the WAI team! You ROCK!! ;-)
Thank you!
I subbed
Thanks Felix, you rock 😀 my Tuesday evenings aren’t complete without a WAI video! Enjoy your vacation ☺️
Have a great holiday. 3 weeks is a while, you should come back to initial superheavy testing

You absolutely ROCK Felix!
You rock dude! These past weeks have been shite if I;m honest so your videos have been great to help distract. x keep well.
Hope, everything get's better for you soon!
Yrs ago I saw MITs ideas for buildings and its pretty neat how it is done. I watched a competion. Just amazing. I cant wait to see SpaceX new plans.
Good luck, thanks for this amazing videos!
Have a fun vacation!
A very happy and well deserved holiday Felix. Looking forward to your return. 🙄
Love the videos Felix! Love love love.
Yay new video
Enjoy your time off! Thanks for the updates!
Your background is so cool
Enjoy your vacation, Felix!
Gute Zeit im Urlaub Felix!
I’m so happy I am signed up to this channel! 💪🏻🚀
Hey, the alerts finally worked.
What about it!? - yo! Howd you get that sticker? :000
Truly love all of you videos, Felix! Keep up the good work, You Rock!
I wonder why Space X don't pump water in pipes straight from the ocean for their sound suppression?
Because sea water is not good for equipment
Salt = BAD
@@smallstars What equipment? It will be for sound suppression only. If a little salt water gets on any equipment, it can be rinsed off with a LOT less fresh water than what would be used for an entire launch.
Why it is a shame for the spectators during splashdown...
That view of a landing capsule cant see everybody. It's like to see two shooting stars at once... 😅
Mining equipment and foundries will be a couple of several technologies absolutely necessary once we get to Mars.
Why no more videos? :c
He said vacation til today
@@noahno i see. I missed that
nice update, thank you.
Amazing ! Thank you !

It was Mary in disguise being lowered down after she hid on top trying to take clandestine photos lol 😂
Great episode. I wonder who is going to host the next one.
loving the new set
Thank you! It was hard to take down the old one. So many memories...
Hell ya, go SpaceX.
Thank you! Great episode as always. Regular news is so fucked.
Great review Felix
Superbe vidéo like always
Thank you for your videos.

As always a grea informative Vlog thank you Felix you Rock
Have a nice vacation :)
Its a hell of an ask Felix, how about a video on how these new batteries will effect the starship ? would be very interesting
Felix, you rock!
I just noticed a little astronaut moving around on the shelf in the background, Has that always been there?
Quite a while, yes :D
He developed self awareness for a while now.
Wow.
Thanks Felix.
another great show, thanks again. see you in 2 weeks.

14:00 yeah shame on them for not inviting me to come along!
Somebody needs a vacation. Have a happy time off, Herr Schlang.
Enjoy every episode! Love the outtakes...😊
Ok, you've been some days of. Can you come back, please? :-D You rock!!
I'm back! :D
Wish i could go on vacation as much as this guy
Regarding the construction work next to landing pad; There is a large white tank sitting on landing pad. I think, maybe a place for more tanks???
Hello me again making sure all of your crew and fans are good so how are you guys
The team is great and I am about to start a 10 day vacation (at home)! All is well! How are you?
What about it!? I am good and hope you have a good “trip”
Enjoy your vacation Felix.
We are the aliens. Yours, Enrico Fermi.
All a matter of perspective, yeah :D
Nice reference!
Soon us humans will reach the point of aliens, in terms of technology

What "Aliens"? Aliens could still be in the stone Age.

Or they can just use axes with ball joints. No extra frame needed.
That's the CH4 header mounted to the common bulkhead not the LOX header.
looks to me to be some kind of lifting straps, with something to attach to whatever is being lifted
I always anticipate your updates! Thank you for your greate work!
Sir
u wont be releasing ur 3 episodes 😔😢 its much valuable...
Im always waiting for ur episodes
Im from India!
Felix going on vacation? Now something exciting is bound to happen! Have fun
We know exactly what's going to happen. SN-8 will attempt the 15 kilometer flight, and crash or explode.
I will miss ur episodes during ur holiday :(
I hope SN8 doen’t explode while Felix is on vacation 😂
😂

did they test out that 3D printer in vacume? cause bubbles will wild be an issue on the moon and mars.
Cool shirt. :)
Hi! Love your vids!
It has been so close to your 100k live stream, Julia should get at least a cameo appearance. Perhaps among your outtake clips.
Love that shirt
