Hello, we are TheSpaceXFans and welcome to TheSpaceXShow, the place where you can stay
up to date with everything SpaceX. We have some big bits of news for this video today,
starting with yet another launch of 60 Starlink satellites on the Starlink-27 mission which
lifted off earlier today. Following lift off, the Falcon 9 booster, B1051, landed successfully
for the 10th time on the droneship Just Read The Instructions. [Stream Commentator: “And
there you have it. We have a confirmation of a successful 10th landing of this booster,
and the 83rd overall successful recovery of a Falcon 9 first stage.“] Kyle Montgomery
posted a picture on Twitter of the Crew-1 Dragon capsule, Resilience when it returned
to Port Canaveral. There’s a new article from SpaceNews which says “The U.S. Space
Force this month will complete a design review of a previously flown SpaceX Falcon 9 booster
that launched a military GPS satellite to orbit last fall. The booster is expected to
fly another GPS satellite sometime in June.” Over in Boca Chica, the orbital launch site
tank farm work continues. The pieces for the integration tower at the propellant production
site are continuing. The cryo tank shells at the propellant production site are progressing
too. In the production yard, the orbital launch table is continuing. Musk was asked about
the Starship timeline on Twitter saying “Still aiming for 2026 launch window?” Musk responded
and said “2024 is not out of the question for an uncrewed flight.” A booster common
dome section was recently flipped into the correct orientation. By now there’s almost
zero chance you’ve not seen the SN15 flight, but on Wednesday, Starship SN15 successfully
lifted off. [Stream Commentator: “T+30 seconds, Starship 15 is airborne. As we get a view
of the 3 Raptor engines as we’re powering our way to 10km in altitude in today’s test
flight.”] SN15 then performed an absolutely beautiful landing to place itself smoothly
down onto the landing pad. [Stream Commentator: “We have ignition. Starship, heading back
to the landing zone. And Starbase flight control has confirmed, as you can see on the live
video, we are down; the Starship has landed. We’re going through the safing sequence.”]
Starship has made history and SpaceX have proved that the concept is completely viable.
Elon Musk posted a tweet after the SN15 flight and subsequent landing saying “Starship
landing nominal!” There was an exciting tweet also posted by Elon Musk in relation
to SN15. Teslarati posted an article saying “SpaceX is working through the night to
secure the first Starship to survive a high-altitude launch and landing.” Musk responded and
said “Might try to refly SN15 soon.” Michael Baylor posted a tweet saying “Iterative
development. It's the SpaceX way.” Musk responded with “Only way to create rapidly
& fully reusable orbital rockets, the fundamental technology revolution needed to make life
multiplanetary.” Here’s a beautiful shot of the SN15 prototype standing tall on the
landing pad. Tankzilla was moved back to the launch site to help with SN15 recovery operations.
After being placed on the self propelled modular transporters, SN15 was moved to the centre
of the landing pad. The legs were then also removed from beneath. This is the Starship
serial number 20 mid Liquid Oxygen tank section. A piece for the upper part of the Super Heavy
Booster Number 3 tank can be seen here sitting outside. There’s also this Super Heavy BN3
aft section outside still. I forgot to include it in my Wednesday video, but to finish up
this video, we have the latest Starship and Super Heavy build diagram, thanks to Brendan
Lewis. It goes without saying, but we wouldn’t have these detailed Starship updates without
Mary, known as BocaChicaGal out there all day every filming, so thanks to her. Also
I would like to say thanks to Jack Beyer who often edits the NSF videos and has been out
there for the SN15 launch also filming so thanks to him too. Then, also thank you to
the hard working NASASpaceflight team behind the scenes bringing us fantastic videos, livestreams
and other space content. That’s it for this episode of TheSpaceXShow, I hope you enjoyed
