hey hey marcus house with you here and you're not going to believe how fast spacex has progressed
with starship development this week we could be seeing another flight in just days at this point
we're going to talk about starship interiors with deep space couriers incredible animation
it is all go with mars arrivals already occurring with nasa's perseverance rover hot on their heels
then we have some awesome news with the artemis program with spacex being selected to launch
the first two elements with falcon heavy this has been a great week
so even i've been surprised this week with the rapid progress of starship serial number 10.
just remember here starship sn9 quite literally flew less than two weeks ago ending in what we
can only call a pretty rough landing well fast forward to today and we are looking
at a potential flight of the next prototype sn10 this week assuming successful tests prior
now that could make it around two weeks between flights just think about the craziness of this
for a minute a nine meter wide 50 meter high vessel ready to fly just a few weeks after the
last this is what rapid prototyping means rgv aerial photography shared this old image just
recently this was the build site only two years ago now it looks like this mauricio has had all
of us covered watching continuously from the skies over the last few years and is hugely appreciative
of the help the community provide on his patreon and youtube to help him keep doing this this is
astronomical development speed is sn10 perfect of course not will it achieve everything it needs to
in the next flight more than likely not but will spacex learn a lot to prepare for the prototype
that comes after you better normally many months would pass perhaps even years before prototypes
are ready to be built and tested in this way not at spacex they build to push boundaries and
as elon musk has frequently stated if things are not failing you are not innovating enough
so many comments in my last video were all of a sudden super skeptical about starship
progress almost appearing to give up on the whole idea simply because sn9s landing didn't seem to
improve on sn8s i think people are so hyped for success that they forget how incredibly complex
and advanced all of this is now sn8 which was the very first full-scale high-altitude flight
test was near perfect in every way with just that header tank pressure issue not allowing
the adequate thrust for control for a successful touchdown sn9 was almost identical but again a
failed engine relight caused the prototype to overcorrect and hit the ground on its leeward
side at around 200 kilometers per hour two prototypes and both achieved incredible things
never seen before in flight i mean this is crazy awesome what we're witnessing here over the course
of these last few months trust us all when we say we're looking at just the tip of what is to come
and in a year or two this flip landing maneuver is going to be commonplace perhaps even more common
than watching falcon 9 boosters land on drone ships which seemed crazy only five years ago
i will concede however many comments i've been responding to this week asking why spacex doesn't
land the prototype a little further away from the launch site now i've got to say this is a
big question in my mind as well perhaps spacex doesn't have access to land nearby that could
serve as a separate landing location we know that there are restricted environmental factors that
limit what can be done by spacex could that be the reason it seems to me and i guess many of us
that if there was a pad a kilometer or so away a failed landing attempt would not cause quite that
brown trousers effect that many of us felt as we watched a debris fly in every direction here
with sn9 it does seem riskier than it needs to be i'm interested in your thoughts on that
open up the floodgates there with a why don't they just thread let me know what you think
so yes the progress this week has been pretty astounding sn10s three raptors have all been
installed into the thrust puck these include sn50 sn39 and another that we haven't yet identified
surprisingly sn 39 was a raptor engine that was removed from starship serial number eight
a few months ago after it completed its first static fire presumably it has been repaired and
is now ready for flight once again on monday sn10's testing campaign began starting with a
cryogenic liquid nitrogen pressure test as always bokeh chicago out there with nasa space flight
recording the action there for us all thank you mary as always early monday morning the road and
beach were closed with the test beginning around midday we saw a small line of frost at the base of
the liquid oxygen tank indicating that filling of the tanks had begun the three engine chill vents
then opened up one at a time however at around 1 pm both tanks were depressed and emptied vehicles
then returned to the pad for around 20 minutes before leaving again presumably to fix some small
issue liquid nitrogen loading then began again and this time we saw much more frost on the tanks the
whole of the oxygen tank and a small amount of the methane tank was covered in a layer of frost
pressure was held in the vehicle for two hours or so and the tanks were then detanged once again and
the road was reopened which all points towards it being a successful cryo test along with that we
spotted spacex doing a test fitting of the flight termination system something that will be fixed
in place the day of the flight attempt this is normally a key indicator that spacex intends for
some real action to take place that day work has also progressed at the orbital launch pad the very
large pad outside the bunker has been filled in with concrete there are also vertical rebar
sections here in the concrete which suggests that some footings for some quite large equipment are
going on top of the concrete pad we'll be keeping an eye on all of that as the weeks progress
as elon musk tweeted at the start of the week there are three key priorities for spacex down at
the site the orbital launch tower that can stack is on top with of course producing enough raptors
for the booster itself along with that reducing the dry mass of the entire vehicle is critical
which is why we are also seeing further effort going on with the thinnest steel on the sn 7.2
test tank now last week that test tank was intended to be pressed to failure however the
three millimeter test vessel appears to have provided positive indications with its failure
resulting in a relatively controlled leak from one of its world points that doesn't mean that testing
is 100 complete or successful for sn 7.2 we don't have any official word on that since the test
though scaffolding has since been erected around the tank to take a closer look at the failure
point we still expect spacex to repair that and then push the tank to even higher pressures before
it fails as we've seen with previous tanks that is the point of course to push it to that destruction
point always exciting to witness heading all the way over to news at the build site bn1 or booster
number one's thrust dome was sleeved with a stack of two rings we also saw sn17's forward dome being
slaved as well sn11's tank section was moved into the high bay ahead of mating with the nose cone
and that nose cone was then moved from the low bay and was stacked on top of the tank section
just days later sn11 of course is very similar to sn8 9 and 10. we see the continued progress of the
thermal protection system and it's visible by the increased amount of tiles on various sections of
the vehicles the largest patch to date can be seen around the liquid methane tank on the windward
side of this vessel we hope to see this increasing even further in future starship builds so to sum
up this week of course we have brendan's diagram here and this time with a couple of new changes
to the overall style let us know if you like these changes and of course comment down below to see

now one of my most common questions outside the typical test dates and when hop updates
are questions around the future interior of the starship for crew rated missions now more recently
some of you may have spotted this video here by deep space korea which i must say is the most well
thought out interior design for a starship that i've seen so far we'll dive into that more in a
moment but before that a huge thanks to skillshare for sponsoring this video this incredible service

so yes this interior design is the one i've liked more than any other that i've seen at this point
keep in mind of course the reason that we see humans on board here in space suits is quite
literally just because suited models are easier to work with there is certainly no need to wear
spacesuits inside the vessel the main reason the humans are actually here is just to show how big
this would all be inside the viewing deck section of the vessel alone is a massive space obviously
these areas on long duration missions would be loaded with a lot more cargo and supplies in
general but imagine this being more of a tourist mission a common room area underneath this would
expand on that area with a number of utilities for social interaction and relaxation the scale of the
starship at nine meters wide is significant and it would allow a heck of a lot of fun to be had
in microgravity exercise is of course super critical as well especially to any crew in
space for an extended period of time who knows what amazing exercise contraptions there may be
on the ship orientation doesn't matter in space of course resistance bands and systems like we
see on the international space station provide an excellent way to work out those muscles
another key area in the starship of course will be private spaces for each person to sleep and
relax and although these spaces seem quite tight they would feel much more roomy with their own
state-of-the-art entertainment system although it does look a little cramped remember that in
microgravity you can utilize the full area which i suspect would make it feel a little more roomy
than it would here on earth at 1g another constant area of query with starship is how
they would shield from radiation in the event of a solar storm this idea is how we would expect the
starship to be laid out storage of water can be arranged in the walls around the radiation shelter
along with other cargo perhaps in the level underneath there is also another large section
packed tight with cargo which would also aid in that protection provided that the ship is oriented
in the correct direction to allow the high energy particles to hit at the appropriate angle the
crew can isolate themselves in this area while the event passes so yes there is a lot more to explore
in this video the creators making this amazing work on the deep space career channel are two
brothers aged only 19 and 22 who started learning blender about a year ago with their combined
new skills with their love and excitement for space travel it is obvious how passionate they are
about the work that they are doing here on the channel really nice work guys keep it up a link
to the full quality video including the great audio is in the description as well feel free
to head over to support what they do and perhaps even throw a few future ideas at them so yes
time seems to have passed by so quickly it wasn't that long ago july 2020 in fact that we
saw the launch of hope the united arab emirates first interplanetary voyage followed shortly by
china's first mars mission their tian wen won the spacecraft with its lander and rover and of course
nasa's perseverance rover and the helicopter ingenuity following as well this week after 200
days and 470 million kilometers it was time for hope hope thrusters burned for around 27 minutes
consuming half of its fuel reserves slowing the spacecraft down so that it could be placed
into orbit this was truly a moment of celebration not just for the united arab emirates but humanity
in general with city buildings bathed in red light and a spectacular light show we witnessed
the live broadcast of the lead up and the pivotal moment of hope's arrival with the announcement
of successful orbital insertion and celebrations all around the science that this craft is going to
be collecting is going to be incredibly valuable and also freely available to the entire scientific
community this is truly a fantastic achievement with another nation the fifth actually making it
to mars so yes with hope prepared to undertake its primary mission in orbit analyzing the
martian atmosphere and weather there was another arrival to the neighborhood following close behind
china's tienwen one now this spacecraft will orbit the martian poles conducting various
science activities before commencing its second phase of the mission in about may this year it's
going to release a lander and rover destined for utopia planisha crater halfway between
the planet's equator and the north pole it is here the scientists think there is a concealed
deposit of water estimated to contain over 14 000 cubic kilometers of water with the depth
of the ice deposit ranging between 33 and 550 feet simply astonishing if true now next week of course
we're going to see the arrival of the third voyager to mars the perseverance rover and its
much anticipated landing on the martian surface i cannot wait to see the outcome of this mission in
particular with some exciting sights and sounds expected to be captured during the probe's entry
and descent of course there is the perseverance rover itself and the little helicopter ingenuity
to geek out over well we have just under a week now to wait for this amazing science package
to make its fiery arrival before being gently lowered to the surface to begin its mission and
broaden humanity's understanding of this ancient planet with all of the information gathered from
these three arrivals to the red planet it will eventually pave the way for even safer
and targeted missions destined to mars with the most valuable cargo of all life here from earth
now while we are talking about mars you may have noticed this new globe here behind me
an incredibly generous patron had delivered this to me this week no questions asked no shout out
wanted well i'm shouting it out anyway i've actually never seen these before in person and
i am just blown away by it this thing is just crazy awesome with the graphic layer in it all
sourced from nasa satellite images it just looks incredible with the various layers of
color showing super detail on the surface itself this thing really is nuts the thing just spins
by itself whenever there's an ambient light via some combination of solar and magnet technology
and this isn't a plug for mother globes who makes it it's just a thank you to the extremely generous
individual who decided they were just going to purchase it and have it delivered to me for the
set here that is most amazing of you thank you very much now on tuesday the 8th more information
dropped about the luna gateway spacex has actually been chosen to fly their falcon heavy rocket to
deliver the first two elements these two elements the power and propulsion element or the ppe
and the habitation and logistics outpost or halo for short will need an extended fairing to be
properly mounted onto the falcon heavy every stage of this vehicle is going to be amazing to see
deploy so hopefully there will be no delays and this will be set to fly hopefully by may of 2024
this aligns with nasa's goals to land humans on the moon once again by the end of that year now
although it's likely that artemis 3 the mission to land humans on the moon itself will be delayed it
is clear that nasa wants to hold firm and continue on its path towards establishing hopefully a
permanent presence on the moon the power and propulsion element will take care of a lot of
different things for gateway as its name suggests it's going to provide power through large solar
panels that will extend from the tail end these solar panels will generate the energy needed to
run the hall effect thrusters these thrusters only need one type of propellant making them a great
fit for mass dependent missions these will run using xenon and should last around 15 years this
module will also include data relays satellite dishes and other communication and station
keeping elements on the vehicle making it almost like a space tug for the space station itself
the other element halo will be the living quarters and command center of the outpost this will mostly
be used to carry out the science and experiments as well as house the entirety of the four person
crew living quarters that module is very small and cramped so i hope that the astronauts that get to
live there are going to manage okay so yes what are your thoughts on the artemis gateway program
will this station be a huge benefit for sending humans to the moon with the intention to stay
or were the single launch apollo emissions better let me know your thoughts in the comments below
