You don't appreciate how long you've been watching till a "recap" then you realise how far things have progressed in that amount of time. Thank you NSF for another great no nonsense update.
a MAJOR milestone that so far ONLY SpaceX has done was also accomplished on Flight 3, and that is, steaming high bandwidth data during reentry. This has never been done until Starship.
It has been a journey to watch but we had faith in SpaceX. They proved their methods worked with falcon9, starship is the same just a whole lot crazier. I fully expect a starship in orbit getting fuel from a station in orbit next year. The landings and reuse would be great too but im most excited to see what starship is going to be able to do reusable or not. To me reusability is a luxury to make it far more affordable to go to space but it's optional as long as the rocket can do it's mission and put payloads on their target orbit.
Thank you for the early history of Starship, I've been here since flight 1 but found it hard to find chronological information on the tests before that flight, I finally feel caught up now!
What a awesome video you really captured the essence of time and speed of SpaceX just amazing how far they have come in a short space of time and I watched it all with you guys thank you 😊
If in the future, they attempt a ship landing/catch during a test flight. Where would that be? Once around to florida? Several orbits? Offshore platform? Back at Boca? Rhe moon/mars... Also I feel like you could gain a lot by doing some data visualization, such as timeline or a table of ship/booster pairs. Will we ever get to see a CRS-16 style landing attemp/abort?
Can't do once around launching from Texas, earth rotates too far in the 1,5h that it takes for the ship to orbit and starship doesn't have the crossrange abilities that the Shuttle did to compensate, so it will be almost certainly at least 4 orbits for landing at the launch site. (maybe 3 if they launch from texas and land at florida, but i don't see this happening. Starship would have to overfly heavily populated areas to land at FL)
Great video once again. Awesome to see how fast reiterative design can progress this fast. I'm missing one detail on the video though. Didn't they simulate a catch on the tower on flight 4 while the booster actually landed in the water?
I hope the ships get space shuttle like names so we can be extra happy when they are reused! Also, keeping the serial numbers will make it more sci-fi, which I'm fine with as well! 👍👍
I don't know, with the cadence they want to achieve... Would you care how Falcon 9 boosters are named? Man, I don't even watch them launch anymore. I guess, the prominent ones like Starhopper will be named, though.
I can't wait to see a launch. The last time I went to South Padre, there was no tower yet. Or boosters. I did get fairly close to Starship. I look forward to the day when launches can be accurately scheduled so as to coincide with vacations.
@@NESC33you tell them!! Outrageous!! Only problem is the last of claim to be an affiliate… and their many, many years long relationship with not only NASA but virtually every large body/manufacturer in space flight, particularly USA… What was it that made you upset about their name? Something obviously did, with claims of tax payer violation etc…

It's up to, that's what Kathy said that Elon would want them to launch 25 times in 2025. No, Elon did not say "much more than 25", not even sure where you've seen that. 25 launches in 2025 is not pessimistic, it's actually a whole lot of unicorn-under-the-flame-trench-land.
@ that's like a whole different thing than claiming he said "more than 25". He's referring to the cadence at the end of the next year not about the total launches by the end of the year. In order to get 25 launches in 2025 the **average cadence** needs to be of one launch every two weeks but that's an average. Under the assumption they can even get to that number of launches, the start of the year will intrinsically start at a much lower cadence than a launch every two weeks, it's not an instantaneous change it is a ramp up. So in order to compensate for that, this cadence needs to be *much faster than that* by the end of the year in order to compensate the slower start of the year so that across the entirety of 2025 it averages one launch every two weeks.
@@ale131296ugh… full time job if one was going to try and correct/answer every stupid comment/assumption/question in the comments on NSF’s channel alone hey!! Really didn’t think it was so hard to tease a logical flight rate out of Musk’s statement…
Wrong... your like the CNN of news about Space X Finally this and what eventually that but then say they are so fast and then diss about using cranes and prototype starships to configure the tower. Very confusing reporting!!
To be honest I agree with @Rubikmontat6589 …. Was pretty clear and easily digestible timeline, presented chronologically… unlike your comment that kind of trips over itself when read. What was “wrong”? I wouldn’t call it a diss about using cranes, more an observation of how much less advanced it appears compared to current methods of stacking…

I've been waiting for this since BFS was announced.
I've been following SpaceX since Falcon 1. I remember Star Hoppers' hop test. It is crazy how far SpaceX has come.
a MAJOR milestone that so far ONLY SpaceX has done was also accomplished on Flight 3, and that is, steaming high bandwidth data during reentry. This has never been done until Starship.
Throughout the reentry, even the plasma phase!
This was an interesting reprise of Starship, well done NSF.
As someone who just started following space x development closely after flight 5, thank you for the history rundown.
Happy to see new space nerds being born! Welcome!
Welcome
It's only going to get cooler!
Welcome!
welcome aboard!
4:50 "The mega mach diamonds" makes me smile everytime :-)
You guys are my favorite on space news. No click bait or melodrama. Just the facts.
Another starship launch on my birthday.. Cant wait!!!
SN 15 , I named it "la quincianerra" was the first survivor of the flight, bellyflop, and landing without a RUD.🎉🎉
Amazing video! I watched every event of this whole program live thanks to your amazing coverage! The recap was a very nice touch!
Gotte catch them all.

They plan to be their own biggest customer so lowering the cost per flight is their highest priority.
Starship is way so insane for SpaceX but also coolest and the most futuristic looking rocket currently in development.
Thank you for the early history of Starship, I've been here since flight 1 but found it hard to find chronological information on the tests before that flight, I finally feel caught up now!
25 flight in 2025 means that they *must launch at least 2-3 times each month* and that's insane cadence!
Once a month from each tower, I think it's possible, especially when the Florida tower is done that will be 3.
@@GeekyBrian96 I think it will take far into 2025 to have pad B and its tower operational.
This was a key video for Jack.
This level of coverage and documentation is unmatched on the internet. Massive respect to the entire NSF team! ❤❤❤
This is a great recap of the Starship program, great job Jack, Alejandro, and the whole team. Can't wait to see the one you put out next year!
Much love Jack, I wish you all the best birds and bacon, kayaks and kilts!
Exciting times we live in! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!
Great historical recap!

IFT-1 doing 360 kerbal spins will always be one of my highlights of the Starship program
Nice Hat! Great Report. Thanks, NSF!
They caught a booster!!!
They did?!
Really?! )
They did???!!!
love you guys

Thank you NASASpaceFlight!
Awesome thanks 😊 love the content
I loved this recap video. While I have watched most if not all of the videos that made up the recap, I welcome just talking about this ANY TIME!!!
Is it only a year since flight 2? I would have guessed a lot longer.
Thanks Jack. I appreciate your work.
Great summary! Thanks!
Great work thx

They should name the ships for sure! True Starships are named!

Excellent episode Jack
Jack and NSF, y'all rock! ❤ Peace 🤘
Great summary, thanks Jack and the NSF team.
Great recap, thank you
Thanks for the tribute, it really deserves it and I'm glad it gets its recognition
Please do a deep dive on the HLS.
The NSF theme music is just BANGING. Id love to have a full track.
Can't wait for tanker/filler ships.
Go Jack, go! Awesome show!
Can't wait for IFT 6
Excellent video 👏
What a nice treat to have a Jack vid on a thursday
They caught a booster?!?!?! NO WAY DUDE!!!
Really good recap. Could you explain a little what the diagram at 16:40 is?
the tiles must be coming off the main body in all the tests for them to be still be changing them and adding extra layers underneath ?
Nice
thats in the evening in the dark in the uk for flight 6
What was floating in the background at 15:06?
How do they purge all of the ice water out of the tank quickly. Liquid nitrogen flush?
DAAS Kerbel!
Would be awesome if they always had a launch on 11/18 every year
So flight 7 will be the first functional flight that will deliver a payload. Maybe not the first fully reusable one, that may be flight 8.
You aren't going to give us a content warning when showing the pipe being obliterated, How could you?!? I was not ready fo see that again.
“Pipe”?
Background song?
16:18 I thought it was mobetta, not more better.
4/20 24/7 🤣🤣
Simply wonderful! Thank you for your passion for what you do! 🔥😛
Who are these people self exhibiting themselves as an affiliate of NASA?
Using a similar name is against NASA's policies as NASA is a government agency. Are they profiting?
@@NESC33 They got permission from NASA
@Starsoon1 To profit from taxpayers? That is unlawful.

SpaceX research 3 Steps Forward / 1 step back ...ok..next launch...
The Chinese must be hoping a starship accidentally comes down within their borders
How would that happen. It would have to fail so hard for that.
Cut to the chase man instead of rehasing over old stuff.
Lots of new views after booster catch
Did you just tell him to stop trying to make more money, brother?
Hahaha, I don’t think you understand.. the premise of this video is rehashing the history of Starship since manufacture began…
* it's not up to, EM said much more than 25. Why is NSF so pessimistic.
