Thanks for Watching! - Наука та технологія
As Scott Manky pointed out. Near the end of stage 2s flight. The oxygen level was dropping to below methane levels rapidly.
Yes. I know. I spelled Manly incorrectly.
I would change it. But so many of you like to express your whityness. I decided to leave it as is. Enjoy
Who's Scott Manky? 😆
@@BabyMakRManley
I think its because during hot-stage separation, shockwaves reflected back and damaged the fuel injection system, cause fires and leaks on LOX tank. The same shockwave also cause several leaks and damages in the booster
@@superspies32 That's a pretty good suggestion. Makes sense.🤔
Scott Manley is a pretty cool 😎 dude...
What a superb report! Thank you Geoff, and the whole team for all the hard work and accurate reporting.
Yes, that was great!
Now, I hope the marking of the steel plate is not a problem!
Thank you! We're happy that you enjoyed the video, especially since it was a faster made one!
This was the best summary of post-launch pad condition and the actual launch. Great job!
Agreed, superb footage, analysis and referring to it as a success in the journey to space…
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it!
Great report, I haven't been this excited about a space launch since Apollo 11, I was in high school and skipped school to watch. I got see sputnik, the moon landings and now I have hope to see someone set foot on Mars. Well done SpaceX
What school was in session in July??? Were you a bad boy in summer school?
what about artemis 1 last year.
@@evilzarmy1 sure:) and the earth is flat too:)
You're so fortunate to have witnessed all that!
@@evilzarmy1 Who did I hear land with my antennas pointed at the moon, Santa Claus for sure?
Thank you for the side-by-side telemetry comparison between IFT1 & 2.That really made clear how much progress has been made. Looking forward to your coverage of IFT3!
I was looking forward to this, AWESOME!!! Thank you RGV team!!!!
What I saw was Awesome . Lessons learned will make next one even better
Puro 956!
We're glad you enjoyed it!
Superb timing and great shots - thank you for sharing! 👍👍
Thank you! We appreciate the love!
Watch the Lox drop off rapidly on the 2nd stage right after that plume shows up. This video cut that part short, but it's easy to see on other videos.
Definity looks like a possible LOX tank failure and subsequent engine failure resulting in FTS detonation.
Agreed, That plume at around t+07:00 certainly looks like a LOX leak
Why did the tank(s) leak ? A weak construction, means more weight needs to be put on then ?
@@astrogeo1The most likely place for the tank to leak is at the fill connection, which would probably not mean huge weight gains to fix.
Yep, it definitely seems like oxygen loss may have been the culprit for the ship RUDing. Hopefully they'll fix that leak for IFT-3 and we can see a cool spashdown by Hawaii!
Very well explained, thanks Tom
Wow, this is by far the best post-launch report I've seen. Excellent recap of all content I also encountered on X, and ofcourse the awesome flyover images. Pure Gold!
I also MUST congratulate Geoff on the delivery of the voice over on this. He's a pro.
Thank you 😊
Great analysis, thanks for your quality work !
A really good detailed report. Thank you.
Great report. Thanks.
My 2c on the booster is how aggressive the flip maneuver appeared. That must have contributed to fuel slosh.
Thanks to Scott Manley. WOW to RGVap 🤩 fantastic photos and talk through! I absolutely just now Subscribed on my new birthday Tablet Android PC !!!! Beautiful Work you RGV people 😀
Appreciate the detail analysis of the launch. Well done.
I am amazed by the content and quality of this report! Thank you!
Just amazing work, so quick and so well done. I'm going back to look at that still of ST nosecone!!!
GREAT BREAKDOWN! Seriously. Wonderful job!
Solid detailed review - thanks..!!!
You have provided a brilliant, concise review/analysis with amazing photos and videos of an amazing event. I am indebted to you because you included analysis of Stage 0.
Very well done!! Thank you RGB from
Dresden, Germany! This is what I call first class journalism!
Thank you! We do our best! We're glad that you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your detailed analsis, including for the flight itself! You are the first one I encountered and the analisis looks quite sound to me!
Thank you! We're happy that you found our video and enjoyed it! Hopefully IFT-3 is just a month or two away so we can do it all again!
Superb analysis and absolutely excellent overhead photography! Very Nicely Done!!
Nice little review. Thank you very much, sir!
👍
What a great analysis, thank you!
Nice summary of the Launch and aftermath assessment. Good job!
Very good video summary of the 2nd super rocket event. Great observations of the stage zero results.
Excellent video as always from the RGV team. Brillliant commentary by Geoff !
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed!
Nice straightforward video and narration. More of this please.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the video!
I was glued to this vid, FANTASTIC job
Excellent footage and analysis. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks Irma, Geoff, and the rest of the team! Great report!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
You guys do such a FANTASTIC JOB please keep up the great work. Nobody has the photos that you guys have. Also your explanations are very technical but understandable.
Thank you! We're happy that you enjoy the videos so much! We do our best to keep our explanations to a level everyone can understand!
Best post flight analysis I've heard in youtubeland.. Thank you.
Great debrief. Thanks! 3rd times the charm!
This is the analysis I've been looking for. Thank you.
The shock wave slamming though the launch vapor is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
This is a good recap and also a very reassuring look at the pad.
I appreciate your reporting without moral degradation. Very informative you have a subscriber for the duration of your channel. Thank you
Thank you! We do our best to keep our reports just about the happenings around Starbase and nothing else.
Thank you for the in-depth look at OTF 2. What amazing difference
Very proud of Spacex, Very proud of the TEAM work they put in. Very proud!!!
Really good analysis, very interesting, great video short and very informative 👍
Excellent recap of the flight. Well done!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the info. Man, those stills of stage separation are epic!
Thank you for putting this together. Best analysts I have seen so far.
Superbly done video!!!! Thank you!!!
I think the main issue was the leak. If this didn't happen, Starship might have been able to reach the coasting phase
My gut feeling to, hopefully we find out
what about the first stage or is that also affected by the leak@@Letsgosurfing-cc3ly
Scott Manley had a, to my eyes, very convincing theory. During the hot staging, you can see there is major and FAST deceleration of the heavy booster. That might have sloshed the fuel too much causing the engines to fail. You can even see engines fail that havent even been turned off.
Then its perfectly possible water ram in the emptied downcommer might have caused the RUD.
@@mistrants2745 But the "decelaration" was felt as constant forward acceleration by the booster! Rather, the lateral (pitching or yawing) rotation of the booster would have caused sloshing. Hopefully, not too much weight will be added by longitudinal baffles needed to stop this sloshing.
@@awumawhat do you mean felt as acceleration? Wouldn't the sudden speed change cause the propellants to lurch forward?
one thing that almost never mentioned, the booster slowed down (barely) at the separation, the entire reason of letting the three core engines lit is to prevent this and the resulting slosh, so it maybe not the slosh from the flip, but from the slowing down (which probably not expected, while the flip slosh should be expected end mitigated.)
It would be amazing if the issues were mere software and a few timing and methodological changes to programming were enough to resolve the issues.
Yes, as Elon says, often the most ironic outcome is what ends up happening. In this case hot staging meant to mitigate propellant issues actually caused propellant issues! 😅 If so though, it’s literally a few tweaks to engine firing and timings and it should work great! The upgraded FTS made to work more efficiently just maybe was a bit trigger happy too! If true, another bit of irony. I bet Elon has been laughing!
Good catch. If those numbers are accurate, it seems like that slowing down is short but rather significant which could very well point to this being the issue.
@@bradclifton5248 Actually I do think this is most likely. That being said I disagree caling it "mere software changes". Its not so easy to get this stuff right, thats why often enough changes in the hardware are prefered just to make things easier to code.
With such a radical flip maneuver, and possible fuel starvation being the issue, why not shut down only outer ring on the booster and throttle down the rest. Keeping them lit could resolve needing to relight mid flip
As someone who loves space, I am really excited to see more of this in depth as displayed here. Thank you so much!
You're definitely in the right place for that! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing video yall ❤️!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Subscribed. Excellent videography, editing and narration.
Geoff -- GREAT commentary and choice of technical language!👍
Thank you for the footage!
Thanks for the overview😊
Excellent, Informative Presentation and analysis Geoff & RGV!
Thank you but I only voice these, we have an awesome team that write the episodes.
Well, I learned more in less time than from most of your competition Geoff!@@geoffallan
This is an excellent analysis of both launches!! Well done this is the new standard!
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed! Hopefully IFT-3 will come soon so we can do it again, maybe with some spashdown footage from SpaceX too!
Great work.Absolutely Awesome
Thank you!
Thx for the stage 0 analysis!
This is the best analysis , I have seen
STAGE ZERO MODULE HELD UP VERY WELL ! ! ! THIS IS VERY ENCOURAGING ! ! !👍
Yep! We're super happy to see the launch site still in one piece!
Excellent. Thank you.
Great job Geoff & Thank you Irma! Great show!!!
Thank you Joe! Glad to see you here!
Magnifique vidéo THX
This is the video that I have been waiting for. Great job guys.
Really nice analysis and summary!
It appears the booster needs to push harder during stage separation to prevent propellant sloshing next time. And flipping can be done by three engines, after that, ignite more to do boost back.
Hopefully they'll address those issues for IFT-3 and we get to see a booster splashdown!
Great summary, the best one i've heard yet.
Excellent video, thanks! Detail, explanations and comparisons are better than other channels. Subscribed. 😎🇦🇺
Merci!
Good job space x? I knew you could do it. We were finally on the way, and things look good. Thank. you. Very much.
Scott Manley had a, to my ears, very convincing theory. During the hot staging, you can see there is major and FAST deceleration of the heavy booster. That might have sloshed the fuel too much causing the engines to fail. You can even see engines fail that havent even been turned off.

Thanks for the great info.
The best fact based review of IFT-2 I've seen so far. Great work!
Really good. Thanks!
Great recap, thanks
Great video, watched it twice. Nice job of narrating, Geoff.
Glad you enjoyed it so much you watched it twice! Thank you x2!
Fantastic analysis.
Excellent report and thanks for the incredible images.
Looks like Geoff is a mainstay! Extremely smart move. My pal is the Scottish Mike Rowe you know! This video is a work of art...
Geoff has been doing an amazing job, and it seems like everyone loves him! We're keeping him as long as he'll let us!
I LOVE IT! Congrats to SpaceX!!!

Not sure where your accent is from, but your voice work is excellent. Perfect breath and volume control, perfect annunciation, and great timing. Keep using this announcer!
Hi, thanks Mark, your comment means a lot. I'm from Scotland but watch Starbase daily making vids with CSI Starbase and now voicing these vids. Living the dream!!!
Congreats!Great Job!
Great review thanks..
EXCELLENT FOOTAGE AND NARRATION
New to the channel:
I thought that this subject was picked clean, but you offered some unique observations.
Well done! 👏
This is such an exciting time!
Great analysis, thank you
Just want to add my thanks for your reporting.
Excellent!
I was soo hungry for this info and fotage about stage 0! Before the flight I did bet on that no man made material can hold up against the booster thrust. Now I see how wrong was I am!
Thank you soo much for this one!
Great update.
Honored. Scotsman charm, review, and determination pard!
Thanks!
This is a fantastic report!
Thank you, very interesting analysis!
you and Scot, gave the best report
Awesome reporting and analysis! A great many issues were rectified following the first launch, and I have no doubt this problem solving trend will continue for an even more successful third launch! That folks, is how you get better! Ignore all the cynics.
Thank you! I'm very happy that the fixes they put in place held up so well! Hopefully only a month or two until we can watch the next flight!
i think either the flip was too fast or the hot staging caused the propellant to slosh away from the fuel drains. either way, i'm sure that spacex had tank cameras in the booster and they already know exactly what the problem was. oh well, considering how well they addressed the problems from last time i have confidence that they'll solve these problems before the next launch.
That's definitely a good thought! With SpaceX's pace I'm sure it'll be fixed by IFT-3!
Good analysis!
Great analysis
