Will SpaceX REALLY Go All In on Starship's Next Flight? SpaceX's Starship Flight 15 could attempt a double catch, bringing both Super Heavy and the Starship upper stage back to Starbase! We cover Ship 42 and Booster 22 preparations, Ship 40's recovery and inspection, and SpaceX's proposal for up to 456 Starship launches a year from Texas. Plus, Flight 16 preparations at Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A, Florida launch pad construction at LC-37, Gigabay progress, Flight 14 data, Tesla's rocket-powered Roadster, Falcon 9 launches, Cargo Dragon's CRS-35 mission to the International Space Station, and NASA's Perseverance rover breaking a Mars driving record.

YouTube transcript reformatted at textformatter.ai *may* follow. I have it done, the AI wasn't great with the paragraph breaks, so some additional editing will be needed.

I wish Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert A. Heinlein were alive to see where we are today.

[SunkenCiv]

I'm sure Asimov would be complaining about Musk and Clarke would be reminding everyone, again, that he invented the communication satellite. Heinlein would probably be carrying Hemingway's commie head in a ziplock bag. 😁

LOL!

Nailed it.

[butlerweave]

It’s amazing that he’s already launching satellites from that massive beast ,LOL

[SunkenCiv]

😁 Probably should have had Heinlein rolling his eyes at the other two.

Heinlein would probably be carrying Hemingway's commie head in a ziplock bag. 😁

Or what was left of it after he blew his brains out with a shotgun.

On my 7th birthday, no less…

My 2 cents- I don’t think SpaceX will attempt a double catch- perhaps just one, because of the rocket motor issues. But I could certainly be wrong!!

I’d like to see a double catch, but there’s a lot at stake, and he can’t afford possibly destroying a launch tower in the attempt.

But again, I could certainly be wrong. Just two days ago I didn’t know Tesla had a flying car…..

[SunkenCiv]

🧑‍🚀The problem with the engine was actually a software problem and EM doesn’t expect a recurrence. Apparently the update didn’t get uploaded or something, kinda humorous.😁

[SunkenCiv]

Nothing like a boneheaded racist demagogue to really nail unintentional irony! 😀

I think not both, perhaps the booster. But really, I am fine with splashing both until they feel they have near 100% certainty the systems will perform adequately.

Musk is so hated by the Dens and there’s probably a large jealously factor with liberal media; can’t risk a crash/explosion on premature catch attempts.

[SunkenCiv]

Heinlein had an alibi for that. 😀

[citizen]

Re SpaceX...Musk is also playing with market money now.

The fanaticism about “space” related stuff has become a new religion—and imho not a good one.

It is time to take a deep breath—and think about who and what you worship.
