The lead up to the weekend certainly hasn’t slowed down the space industry with a mountain of stuff to cover today. SpaceX hosted some special visitors at Starbase recently and they were particularly interested in a specific prototype onsite. Plenty happening at the build site as well as Raptor 2 development news from Texas. The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to take flight right before this video goes live. And SpaceX launched Turksat 5B earlier this week along with CRS-24, at the same time as setting 2 new company records in the process.

As this video goes live (at least for Patrons) we are all here waiting JWST countdown to launch. This is quite incredible. Certainly not the most relaxing Christmas evening I've ever had.
Update: I won't spoil it for you. Go watch the replay! :)
Spoiler. Thankfully, everything was good
Launch was successful! Now waiting with bated breaths for successful unfolding and nominal orbit insertion
Hey Marcus, have a merry Christmas and happy new year, it has been a treat watching your channel and team grow. You should be very proud of your crew and supporters, wish them the best for me, and it is my hope that may I get to enjoy many of your presentations for years to come!
Merry Christmas, Marcus I love your vids & will look forward to 2022. Slanite, Cheers Bud.
Thanks to you and your team for all you do . Merry Christmas 🎅
I appreciate you releasing this at the exact same time as the telescope launch. I assume we where all there. Glad it went so well.
Terrific launch!
@@MarcusHouse It would have been even better with more live cams.
@@tinkeringinthailand8147 there is no pleasing you space nerds
Who else is here right after watching James Webb launch?! Great video Marcus, I'm sure we'll have all kinds of information about the telescope on next weeks episode.
Lots in this video too.
JWST has finally made it to space 30 yrs after getting the go ahead, congrats to those involved and built this next generation space telescope.
JWST is on its way to L2!! Lets hope the unfolding goes well. Great video as always Marcus!
I just have to shake my head. SpaceX has _landed safely_ 100 Falcon 9 boosters. This is more _landings_ than most other current rockets have had _flights._ The few rockets that have had more flights have all been in use for decades as well, and most of those are now retired. (Gonna take a long time to catch up with Soyuz which has had 1900+ flights in 64-odd years.)
So what are you shaking your head about? Lol
@@quokka7555 In awe.
@@tarmaque they have certainly achieved quite a lot.
It is an amazing milestone. Lets hope we see the same from Starship.
They also have increased their launch frequency to insane levels. This year will see 24 or 25 launches. That STILL is more than most currently operated rocket systems have accumulated in their lifetime. And with three launch facilities (2 at Canaveral and 1 at Vandenburg) plus the option to also launch Falcon 9s from the two platforms if the Starship schedule does not fully use them, that might increase even more.
The first booster has now been launched, retrieved and reused 11 times. Something previously only the Space Shuttle did. Well Virgin's Spaceplanes probably have more flights, but they do not handle payloads, only passengers and they barely touch outer space. Falcon has revolutionized the Space game. And hopefully will continue to do so for a LOOOONG time, setting many more such records. And soon to be joined by SS/SH.
Just watched the JWST have a picture-PERFECT launch, all the way up to JWST separation from the Ariane 5! As I type this, it's already deployed the solar panels and is operating on its own power, too.
well, I suppose Ariane is well tested rocket at this point so risk of failure was almost zero. JWST at the other hand ... we'll see.
Deep down we all know starship was going to end up having 42 engines, after all it is the answer to everything
Happy Christmas Marcus & Team :-) Thanks for all you do. I too have been watching the JWST launch with my fingers crossed, so good so far!
Amazing launch.
So many monumental launches this year! Can’t wait to see what next year brings!
It will bring an extra 0.025 extra
Such a great year!
Thank you Marcus and team. You’ve all done a fantastic job this year. Season’s greetings from Canada.
Hope we get a lot of coverage for the JWST- It feels like it's been the most anticipated mission for my entire life and it's incredible to finally see it launched!
I really hope that a lot is shared over the next 12 months. I've been a tad disappointed about the Perseverance Rover coverage since the first few Ingenuity flights took place. Since then it almost seems like crickets.
Here after the JWST launched successfully! So exciting to see what JWST will discover.
The JWST is such an ambitious project... congrats to all involved and good luck on continued mission success! My guess is that once the first data & images start coming in, all of the delays will be long forgotten!
Merry Christmas Marcus & Team!! All JWT Systems nominal and Solar Array deploying!!! Thanks for the Christmas update drop!!!!
Can you imagine NASA Astronauts checking out the spacious, luxurious, technology savvy HLS and then cram their butts into the Artemis capsule for a miserable cramped ride with 1980’s technology to the moon. Here is the HLS and it’s already going to the moon but it would have to have the fuel to bring them home as well and then it wouldn’t be in orbit for the next crew. But the astronauts have to look at the HLS space and the Artemis capsule space and wonder wtf.
Astronauts actually *will* know they could have a ride to the Moon with quarters just as spacious and comfortable as on HLS. In the following mission profile I've come up with a regular Starship will be able to make the trip to the lunar rendezvous with HLS (in NHRO or LLO) and return with no refueling necessary. Relying on lunar refueling for crew returns is a big hurdle NASA isn't willing to cross for a while, but this mission can be done without it.
This Journey Starship (JSS, as I call it) can have quarters and life support duplicating those on that NASA will already have approved for HLS. It will simply carry "only" ~20 tonnes of cargo. How many Moon rocks can be studied, anyway? To address concerns over launch and catch with humans on board the crew can taxi to LEO on Dragons. Having enough propellant on board to decelerate to LEO is difficult, but if just the crew and minimal payload are carried then it's possible, at least according to a couple of competent sounding guys I checked with. The JST will return and catch autonomously.
James Webb has launched successfully!!! Onward to L2! Thanks Marcus, your videos every Saturday give me hope and put a smile on my face in these otherwise dark times. Bring on 2022 and hopefully lots of orbital Starship flights! Merry Christmas everyone!
Another excellent presentation with lots of vivid and exciting animations and videos. The coverage of the booster of the OLM clearly showed a worrisome lack of adequate protection for the GSE tank farm and lots of infrastructure, piping, isolated tall tanks shockingly close to the OLM. The earth berm appears to be about ten meters high, less than half the height of the GSE tanks and about as high as the OLM. As the booster lifts off those numerous Raptor engines are going to hit that concrete surface under the OLM with twice the blast of the Saturn V and fill that entire area with twice the exhaust of the Saturn V flying out radially, exerting quite a bit of lateral force on everything in its path, including those LOX and liquid methane tanks. Fingers crossed.
That is worrisome, how exposed those GSE tank farm tanks are to the booster's rocket blast during the initial phase of liftoff. I wonder if anyone could demonstrate this with an animation, since there have been so many animations of the launch, some of which portray the booster exhaust as blasting away just to the south, for no reason, or extending outward from the OLM in all directions, as it would, but with so little power that it is very unrealistic. Animating the gigantic fireball that would happen when the booster knocks over the LOX and liquid methane tanks and ignites the mixture might be tricky, but it would really be dramatic.
@@elihavalot8111 I'll say it would be dramatic, to have the booster blast the GSE tanks over and ignite the LOX and liquid methane that would then leak out. It surprises me that SpaceX has not fabricated a much more effective blast diversion system to deal with so many raptor engines firing so close to those tanks and to the flat concrete surface beneath the OLM. Any kind of deflection system would be better than nothing, with slats or a curved surface under the OLM, and streamlined shields for the GSE tanks, between them and the OLM.
@@silkaeichorn5381 Everyone would hear about it and videos would circulate around the world of the huge fireball caused by the booster knocking over those GSE tanks and igniting the LOX and methane which would spill in such abundance.
When the JWST separated from the rocket and flew into the darkness of space we could see it deploying its solar arrays a bit ahead of time. It is the last time humanity will see this satellite. And to me the deployment of the solar array looked like it wanted us to wave good bye. Upwards and Onwards Webb. May you bring us a lot of exciting g knowledge about the universe!
JWST on its way! Now a month of dread and anxiety as they unfold this thing. Some pharmacies will be fresh out of sedatives 😁
It will be a month for JSWT just to get to L2, but another 6 months to run through unfurling its 343 actions. The first one already occured with unfurling of the solar array.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 good grief...
@@yumazster NASA did proof test those 343 actions very thoroughly so we can only hope that the bugs were worked out.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 I know, if they didn't they would not put it on a rocket. The stakes are so high though, in time money and sheer effort.
Congratulations to the JWST 🚀💫
Sun is not "behind" the JWST.
The telescope points at right-angle to the direction of the sun.
Well, yes, I should have been more specific. I was using the sub shield as the "bottom" of the vehicle. Depends how you look at it. As you say, the telescope itself is pointing at a right angle.
It will unfold perfectly Marcos . In my 22 years with NASA every spacecraft was tested hundreds of times the Webb has been opened many times looking for defective parts . It will open perfectly in Space .
Thank you for your updates throughout the year.
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
There are quite a number of animations of the Starship being launched by the booster, but none of them provide a realistic portrayal of how the rocket blast would interact with the GSE tank farm. Some videos even "show" the rocket blast from the booster billowing out to the south, away from the GSE tank farm, when that is not what is going to happen, unless some major changes are made in the OLM and surrounding structures. With around thirty Raptor engines firing so close to the flat concrete surface under the OLM, there will be so much rocket blast erupting from under the OLM directly toward the GSE tanks that it would be equivalent to a half dozen or so Raptors firing directly at the GSE tank farm. Are those tanks so securely fastened to their bases that they would resist so much lateral force from rather hot rocket exhaust? Would the LOX and liquid methane just be blasted away, or would they ignite into a rather large fireball? Everyone on earth would learn about it within hours.
I was hoping that someone would take up the challenge and make an animation of how the booster's exhaust would knock over the GSE tanks and cause a gigantic fireball with the oxygen and methane in those big GSE tanks, but no one seems to want to warn SpaceX about that possibility, even if it would be monumentally embarrassing for SpaceX.
@@silkaeichorn5381 Most supporters of Marcus and SpaceX probably want to downplay any risks from launching the booster, since so many of us are extremely excited by the prospect of SpaceX actually succeeding in bringing the cost of space flight down so much that we can realistically colonize the moon, build much more elaborate habitats in orbit around it and the earth, and even begin to colonize Mars, but they may be missing an important issue in the need for protection of those GSE tanks. I would hate to see that massive fireball you just described, but it seems plausible that it would happen without more protection for them, from the booster's blast.
@@elihavalot8111 I can understand anyone wanting to help SpaceX and Marcus, but it would be pretty humiliating to have the booster blast the GSE tank farm so violently that the LOX and liquid methane tanks rupture, the mixture ignites and creates a gigantic fireball, causing a LOT of damage and giving the media another huge disaster to cackle about. I had hoped that one of the people who have done animations of the launch might want to do an animation of the booster blasting the GSE tanks and causing a huge conflagration, to coax SpaceX into addressing the concern in a tweet, at least, or, perhaps, to fabricate an effective blast diversion system.
I thought my GF was a big SpaceX fan... then I realized those weren't models of Starship's
Marcus, your channel provides the best, consistent updates to space launches on UA-cam. Always a pleasure.
You are an amazing presenter! One of the best I have ever seen!
I watched the launch live and was biting my nails!
I have no nails left.
I was at the crs 24 launch and it was amazing, got the video on my channel
I enjoy these weekly episodes.
Just coming from the launch of JWST perfect timing!
Welcome!
Merry Christmas Marcus! Love your videos. It's become my Saturday morning ritual.
For those curious the James Webb is Refuellable found this on the specs; "In the intended service life no repair and maintenance missions are planned; However, there is a mechanism that would allow for a subsequent supplementation of the fuel supplies by a robot mission."
To me, the most important contribution of the "SpaceX way" to society/humanity is its way of solving problems. If I may over-simplify: find the most sustainable solution to a well-chosen problem/objective. Design well but test and iterate long before attempting to create a perfect design solution. Get stake-holders to understand and tolerate incremental failures and be willing to backtrack and try other techniques. Don't be delayed by trying to make good on investments in prototypes that don't work. Don't get distracted by adding requirements that do not pull in the chosen direction.
With that said, I wonder if we (humanity) could successfully apply principles such as these, as a cohesive people, to our growing Climate Crisis? Anyway, you Marcus are bringing the SpaceX message to the world and beautifully.
I was quite shocked to hear that the Webb telescooe only has an estimated servicelife of 5... FIVE years (hoping for longer) ... Well it better work during those years then...!!!
All that development of James Webb just for it to last 5-10 years. It’s kind of disappointing to hear that.
Maybe they plan to use SN15 panels to build a special edition Cybertruck. One could only hope...
5 years!!! That is just terrible. 25yrs of development, 10B, for 5yrs, even if it triples it's life that way to costly for it's non-serviceable time span.
You have a UFO in your 4 o’clock right side at :17 sec it flashes in a streak PASS
Holup! That bioprinter thing! Must find out more!
They should keep sn15 intact for history. They will have to build a SpaceX museum so 50 years from now the people of earth can see the early prototypes.
The first human flight in the 1st quarter of 2022??.? Bawahahahaha!
Thx you @Marcus House, to give us those news week after week. For me , your show is my Saturday meeting with space news.
Even if the JWT uses all of its fuel and "drifts away" it may still be active and provide more images, perhaps, so long as they can keep it pointed away from the Earth and Sun?
There are rumors that there is fuel access added for refilling, but there is no current mission scheduled, so they kept quiet about it just in case it never happens.
@@bbirda1287 Thanks for the skuttlebutt. Always good to be prepared, I think. Maybe Elon Musk can get some fuel to it, some day? He's working on fuel tanks in space.
Those renders are incredible! The detail is out of this world.
I feel like with the new Starship changes, they will probably do the two pair engine design with the improved gimbal angles.
Happy Christmas from Turkey Marcus & Team :D
Merry Christmas - Keep looking up!
Starship should be able to get there within 10 years right? Hope they installed a refuel port.
Could it be they delayed launch until they were sure there would be a vehicle to service it?
Nah-
Go Ariane 5! Go JWST! A telescope that can look beyond time... I can't wait!
before time.
this sounds like King Crimson’s ability...
Thank you MH + Team for everything this year.. It's been amazing. .
Thanks a heap Rob!
8:11 DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM that look soooooo real it took me a minute to process this is not yet real 😮😮😮😮😮 amazing job
Merry Christmas, Marcus and crew. Great job on the James Webb telescope segment!
Hooray! JWST has launched successfully too!
Thank you for all the hard work you guys have done this year.
Looking forward to all the exciting coverage in the new year.🚀👍🎄🎅
Hope you enjoyed the JWST launch :)
Nail-biting! I was on the edge of my seat!
JWST is pretty awesome and should provide amazing views for decades, assuming we will be sending periodic refueling missions.
James Webb just rumbled into the cosmos!
Hey Hey Marcus, I've got my coffee, ready for your reports my friend😁oh and Merry Christmas Marcus and Crew😃
Cheers mate! To you too!
Doesn't feel the same when the rocket doesn't return
Just watched JWST launch..and here we are...
Congrats Marcus & Team on such a successful 2021!!! Cheers to an even better 2022 and crushing the 400k subscriber mark!!!
At this point, JWST launched successfully :)
Dang Marcus almost 400,000. Another great update hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday season 👍
Spread the James Webb word 🖖
Great episode Marcus. Really interesting stuff. I’m really excited to see the S20 flight
God, how does SpaceX make Merlin engines so reliable? Launch, then landing. Then repeat! Tens of times over again. Amazing!
Hi Marcus - I wish you a Happy Christmas. Thanks for all your excellent reporting, just the right level of detail for me!
I am nit picking here, but should these ships really be called 'Starships'? We never taken anyone further than the moon and literally centuries away from travelling to another star system, to me this would be like calling a Canal Boat an Oceanic Cruiser or a short ranged city car a Continental munching Grand Tourer, lol
I'm not a big fan of the name. I liked BFR myself, or even ITS. Saying that, it is just a name. The Saturn V was never going to Saturn, or Mercury going to Mercury etc.
@@MarcusHouse I don't mind them having 'names' like Saturn 5 and what not, it's the classification of them I'm curious about. On the verge of become a space-faring civilisation, we should pin these kind of things down early.
Beautiful share my friend! Fantastic work!
Happy new year to you! 🙏❤️
2021 was an amazing year, indeed. 2022 will be amazinger!
I heard the news of Chinese space station modules were close to collide with starlink satellites . is that true ?
I believe to. Personally, I think they should just raise Space Stations above the satellite networks over time. Then they wouldn't need to keep adjusting them. Would also be more efficient as they wouldn't need to orbit raise as much. Downside is a little more radiation exposure though.
Close to 400000 subs and well deserved mate. 👍🚀
Thanks 👍
Great presentation and great Christmas gift for your fans! Thanks for your faithful Saturday briefs which come hell or high water. You are great!
Thanks Marcus it’s been an ever growing world of space and you with the help of the others make this channel worth every view. May 2022 bring everything you need and more. Thanks again buddy. 🍻🥂👍🏼
Hey hey merry Christmas!
Most important launch in decades.........worst coverage of a launch in decades, no onboard views nothing, not even a shitty Gopro stuck to the side ?
They did have a shitty GoPro stuck inside the fairing just to show JWST separation.
@@1ndragunawan That was a stupendous shot though, JWST waved bye bye with it's little solar panel
No one covers launches like SpaceX I'm afraid. :(
It was no worse than many launches from other providers.
12.5 degree gimbal range seems more likely, as there is no limit to freedom of movement in any radial direction.
Great quality video and info, thanks so much, Merry Christmas and happy New Year!!!!!
Center gimbaling range can be increased by pushing the center engines further out (down when vertical)
I am thinking you meant gimbaling?
@@odysseusrex5908 yap. Typo. Stupid auto correct. Thanks
No mention of Starship potentially launching LUVOIR-A or LUVOIR-B?
Awesome work Marcus, love the vids from you and the team, keep em coming :)
the engines can twist to induce roll, they can all move independently as has been demonstrated in existing flights
☃️🎅🎄🤣❄️🥶
Very good video Marcus. I hope you had a good Christmas. My inlaws being well into their 80s, my mother in law has passed on the holiday cooking chores to me (my wife doesn't cook), so I made dinner. Then, afterwards, I went for a nice long walk in the country air and smoked my Christmas cigar, then came back here and have been enjoying a nice bottle of port while watching your video. All in all, a very nice Christmas indeed. Hope yours was just as good.
Also, the James Webb Space Telescope was successfully launched. How's that for a Christmas present?
Webb telescope is eventually costing three to ten times the initial budget (foreseen in the range of 1-3.5 billions USD) and took 11 years longer than expected to be launched. It was ready by 2016, when they started to discover construction faults, which took 5 years and 1.2 Billions USD additional costs to fix (i.e. more than the initial budget foreseen for construction, launch etc). Only considering the cost of multiple human errors in assembling the telescope caused 600 m USD additional costs or 50% of fixing all post-production problems.
Considering the investment cost, each operational year of the telescope will cost from 1 to 1.8 billions USD.
Considering costs and delays, do you think it would have been possible to foresee a last-minute (well, last years) addition of a dock to the telescope body to attach additional modules, including fuel tanks, that could be sent through any cargo spacecraft? This could have extended the operational life of the telescope by 10 years at least.
The view of the Starship engine bay is great. My 2020 Mustang GT is far less complicated and gets way better fuel mileage. I would relish the chance to pilot the Starship...just to compare acceleration and handling characteristics you know. Just a quick lap around the moon and I'll bring her back clean.
Starship 15 should be at Smithsonian or punched into Starship 15 key fobs. 16 didnt fly right? Useless scrap. Recycle
JWST 30yrs in development... just think how many have spent their entire career working on this project!!
With the JSWT there is a big hole in the middle so will all photos have a hole in the middle?
Also, when at L2 it vertically orbits an invisible object.
What is it vertically orbiting?
Surely, at 4:47, given that SpaceX, Australians and 95% of the rest of the planet work in metric, why take the lead from (I guess) a US tweeter who converted what would be a metric distance into Imperial? Isn''t it worth just the extra minute to recalculate the values in the original units?
I really like your channel but please move forward to adopt SI (M, K, S plus Kelvin) and leave miles, inches, and especially Fahrenheit behind. It is a rocket science channel! 😅
FYI I wasn't 'Unsubscribed" but my notifications have been turned off twice now since Halloween.
They are cutting out SN15 aft flap for an exhibit look where Elon will do an live update with the booster and 2 starships in the background.
10 billion over 25 years to build that telescope that's a retirement project. That's back when billions ment something
I was wondering, in the background you have some SpaceX models. If I recall correctly they were 3D Printed? I could not find the video where I thought you had mentioned them. Is there anyways we can learn where to obtain these stls?
The graphic of the JWST orbiting L2 doesn't have the craft rotating. it would have to be rotating, right? If it does that, it can capture just about anything.
Do you know where the "radio imaging telescope/equipment is....is it in lower orbit or out in space...and what info is being gathered?
update we love space x we traveled to Boca Chica to see the starship get built. & we got the S dual motor fsd last Christmas 🎄 😎 still have the cybertruck tri motor or 4 motor fsd on order, i got lots of solar & backup battery system to charge them both. i have tsla too. i just got tried of paying $5 for a gallon of gasoline.
