Opera is owned by a Dutch Company, which is again owned to 100% by a Chinese one. So I don't even want to know how much data it is collecting. The AI or “VPN” is not even improving it in the slightest. If this is okay for you and you are fine with others using it without knowing, then keep it up, but otherwise I would also do some research, no matter with which browser, on the sponsorships and find out about them!
Small addition to the remarks about the steel plates: the steel plates in the ground are called sheet piles, typically used to retain soil behind them as the area in front is dug out. If they create a pit (closed shape of sheet pile walls) - then while digging, water will seep up from underneath the sheet pile walls and fill the pit. Usually, a special underwater concrete floor is poured into the pit after digging to depth. Afterwards it can be pumped dry to create basements or anything else.
Exactly. Once the excavation is completed between the sheet piles, they will use “well points” to keep the excavated area free of any water seepage underneath and around the sheet piling. This will allow for a dry area to get the reinforcing rebar in place and concrete poured and cured to the designed concrete PSI without water saturating and ruining the mix design.
I think the most disconcerting part of the news conference on the matter was the NASA admin saying "I still have confidence in Starliner." Seriously? If Dragon had major issues on its first 3 flights, how would we be looking right now?
The shadows and tone of it shows that it has been photoshopped in, that is fake, and Firefly also, notice the shadow is different from the shadow on the tanks in the right-side foreground.
The nice thing about this process of launching and catching the booster is that when the booster returns, it will return much lighter since most of the fuel will then be consumed.
Three months ago , "We are so close". Today "We are so close" .... lol Polaris Dawn is actually So close to launching and i will be on the beach watching with other space geeks. I am excited about Starship but we will never get to mars if they don't start ramping up launch testing and perhaps relax regulatory approval restrictions. 5 astronauts died before the first manned Apollo craft made it to space, SpaceX takes the human risk out of the equation and yet they have the strictest protocols they have to follow and they are not even risking human life.
People died in apollo due to carelessness and stupidity... spacex development is already magnitudes ahead of nasas.. yes starship is un crewed now but it still effects humans, especially when they aren't even sure if it'll make it through a burn... do you understand aerodynamics? Starship is visually unstable... all it takes is a couple engine failures concentrated to one side of the rocket and chaos can easily ensue... it can only fly the direction it wants because there's so much gimbal control that it brute forces it's own direction, the flaps make it super unstable because they put the aerodynamic force ahead of the center of gravity of the rocket... long story short it's a dangerous ass rocket and I agree the faa is shitty and needs to back off but it definitely risks human life... at least spacex will admit things like this unlike, China or north Korea, not that nk is very advanced
@@kohanrains776 Imagine if SpaceX killed 3 or 5 Astronauts during testing. They would of been shut down for years. NASA never stopped testing even when they killed their test pilots/astronauts. If NASA faced the same Scrutiny SpaceX is facing today The Russians would be laughing at us from orbit.
The ship must be redesigned , it has not a shape that is fitted for gliding . Even the rusian bombs that have superior gliding capabilities than the ship . I do not think the ship will glide sucessfuly , I hope I am wrong .
@secretsecret7730 it doesn't really need to glide.... the ship is very well built for the belly flop style entry it does, it's already done it nearly perfectly before... it doesn't need a redesign
It's impressive enough that the chopsticks have performed essentially perfectly for all the stacking and unstacking, if they catch a booster too, that'll be amazing 😃
Noticed that the control panel and cockpit of the Starliner, seems more cluttered than the Dragon capsule (clean; uncluttered). Sort of reminds one of the capsules in the original space program of NASA. Guessing two trenches at Pad B.
Ok, hear me out: what if, in the long term (say 20 launches from now), SpaceX used the new tower for launching, and the old one for catches only. Makes sense to me. Redesign the mount to be more rapidly reusable and build the new version at tower 2, remove completely the launch mount at pad 1 and replace it with a reinforced pad and shield the bottom of the tower in case of a failed catch. That way, launches and catches can happen rapidly whether or not a catch is successful.
Its not a possibility. It has already been confirmed that both towers are for launch. And a catch tower only saves on the SQD. Every other system is needed.
I think the flame diverter will be off to one side. If it would be in both directions, it would also blast back towards the road which is why I think it will be in one direction. I love these updates you guys rock! Thank you for being so wonderful! 🤩🐶
Great video as usual Felix. It really sucks that Starliner is having so much trouble, but it is good to see that NASA made the right decision and will send Starliner home crew less .
My thought on the chopsticks with what has been added and removed - it almost looks like they are trying to improve the "spring" in the chopsticks while strengthening them. Removing those gusset plates would make the structure more prone to flexing at maximum load, while the fish plates reinforce the welded joins without completely removing flex in the arms. I imagine there is a team of engineers that took the data from the slap tests and probably did some very interesting computer analysis.
Years ago during a big construction project in Boston, called the BIG DIG that had the same problem. They froze the water with cooling pipes to allow diging a solid materal
I'm so tempted to take a week off soon and fly out to Texas. I've been at every major launch at the cape and every single one of spacex's first launches or landings at the cape. I really want to see the first catch attempt! It's something I have to see with my own eyes, like watching the first two boosters from falcon heavy land. I have to be able to say I was there! I want to feel it!
It makes sense for Boeing to sell its 50% share in ULA to recoup its cost overruns with the Starliner project. If ULA is valued at $3 billion, this would just about cover the overruns. Even if ULA goes to Sierra Space, which could produce a crewed competitor to Starliner with Dream Chaser, Boeing probably can't wait to see the Starliner project end after the 5 or so remaining Atlas V launches. Assuming Starliner isn't cancelled first.
I thought trying to land a rocket on a barge was a stupid idea. Just proved me wrong 100 times over. I thought 30+ engines on one rocket was insane. Would never fly. Proved me wrong. So why not try the chop sticks. I've been excited to see this for a while.
I think the best choice is a large single tunnel with a sump and multiple wash sprays; this way the air flow is washed of particulates, the particulates fall out of the air flow and into the water bath below & then are pumped out to a water treatment plant and the environmental impact is minimized.
Knowing spacex and their love of space videography and photography, shown by the added cameras on starship for not only analysis but live view during flight, I feel the flame diverted will most likely be unidirectional facing away from highway 4 to not block the shot of starship launching, but also to mitigate damages to the highway caused by the 33 raptor fury
2 things: Starship should launch a booster just a few meters away from the tower and then emulate the catch in a real scenario. From a structural point of view the arms should prolong on the sides to add points of attachments at the back of the tower, probably imitating that triangular shape on the aide of the tower.
SpaceX innovates at such a rapid rate. Bowing would need to go through 6 months of approvals just to reinforce the welds on the chopstick arms. It's amazing how fast they can make changes.
the question I have about the catch is how high the arms will be. If they are low, then the exhaust will interact with things on the ground, causing damage and possibly reflecting shock waves back up, but if the arms are high then there's more torque on the tower. I predict a compromise somewhere just above half way.

4:42 Serenity makes an appearance!!
I’m guessing the diverter points to both sides, because it makes more sense when you’re trying to flow water?
I was about to say the same thing:D:D
LOL, I had missed it!

But obviously they left the cloak on at low power, as it doesn't cast a shadow.

"go bigger or go home"

The nice thing about this process of launching and catching the booster is that when the booster returns, it will return much lighter since most of the fuel will then be consumed.

Boeing can't get out of the old-school "over budget on taxpayers dime".
The money doesn't matter, they don't have the engineering or the technicians to build it.
Not gouging them anymore than Elon what's the final cost 10 or 12 times what he promised that's about Boeing's undershoot as well
They had a final budget and were given no more money. Everything we see today as far as fixes and engineer changes is completely on they own dime.
Noticed that the control panel and cockpit of the Starliner, seems more cluttered than the Dragon capsule (clean; uncluttered). Sort of reminds one of the capsules in the original space program of NASA.
Guessing two trenches at Pad B.
@realfoggy Understood, Boeing was given more money than SpaceX, yet they still went over and had to pull their wallet out.

Its not a possibility.
It has already been confirmed that both towers are for launch.
And a catch tower only saves on the SQD. Every other system is needed.
Isn't the whole point to catch, refill, and relaunch? If you only catch you'd have to transport the booster to the other tower, yes?
Thank you for letting SpaceX aquire the land ❤
Wow… thought this was a count down to the launch. Never clicked a video so fast lol.
Firefly class Serenity. Standby for stacking Orders

Ok 4:42 thru 4:44 I’m pretty sure I saw the Firefly ship just chilling out there!!!!
2 things:
Starship should launch a booster just a few meters away from the tower and then emulate the catch in a real scenario.
From a structural point of view the arms should prolong on the sides to add points of attachments at the back of the tower, probably imitating that triangular shape on the aide of the tower.
SpaceX innovates at such a rapid rate. Bowing would need to go through 6 months of approvals just to reinforce the welds on the chopstick arms. It's amazing how fast they can make changes.
Speaking as a mechanical engineer (retired) and an ex Boeing employee, Boeing couldn't make instant coffee in six months.
Looking forward to Starship Flight 5!!!
the question I have about the catch is how high the arms will be. If they are low, then the exhaust will interact with things on the ground, causing damage and possibly reflecting shock waves back up, but if the arms are high then there's more torque on the tower. I predict a compromise somewhere just above half way.
Imagine if we see the Artemis program carried only by SpaceX, only StarShip and maybe blue origin here and there.
Love the Serenity easter egg!
That land owner was not a troll, he had something of value and leveraged his asset accordingly.
