Complete Guide To Starship: Falcon 9 VS Starship. What's new? What's different?
3,565,555
Published 2020-11-06
But Starship’s ultimate goal goes way beyond just terrestrial orbital ambitions, Starship is the first vehicle designed to actually take human beings to Mars and back again.
In order to achieve this absolutely bonkers goal, SpaceX has had to employ a litany of new technologies, use new materials, develop the most advanced rocket engines ever made and come up with some wild ideas that have never been tried before… and maybe for good reason.
So today I wanted to go over all of these new technologies and compare it to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy to help point out what things are new, what things are different and what they’ve learned from the Falcon family that will apply to Starship in order to really understand just how ambitious this project is.
We won’t be just scratching the surface here, in fact we’ll actually be taking you inside the rockets and showing you basically every single part and going over all of them with a fine tooth comb so you can learn as much as possible and have a definitive guide to Starship.

Tim Dodd: I'll just do a short video while they wait for SLS Vs. Starship Pt. 3 Me 2 weeks later: Yay!! Another documentary Love Your Work!
-
“You might call it a Starship Launch System…SLS” incredible
-
"This maneuver will make the Falcon 9's landing look like a walk in the park" May 2021 Update: They did it man
-
Replacing the CGI image of starship with the real sn8 in the thumbnail, veeeeery sneaky.
-
1:00:00 long video and it’s not a random lo fi playlist. That’s art and dedication right there
-
Alright, whoever came up with that SLS joke is amazing.
-
3 months later: Starship lands successfully
-
This was the total opposite of spending an hour in math class. At the end i was like why is this ending so soon LOL
-
40:04 "Hovering is just 100% a waste of fuel" Shows video of New Shepard Well thats a creative way to bash Blue Origin.
-
The last time I was this early, Tim was wearing a pumpkin suit.
-
I don’t know when I have ever heard a technical presentation so well put together (content) and so well delivered. The presentation was enthusiastic, perfectly paced with excellent voice control, and so clear and understandable. Fantastic job. Thank you
-
Enjoying rewatching this after SN15’s successful landing today :)
-
Instant like for the early SLS joke.
-
There's something in the fact that it's precisely 1 hour long that particularly satisfies me...
-
Probably a good decision on SpaceX’s part to call the booster Superheavy rather than ‘falcon 30’
-
Well, since there seems to be a “fleet” of starships, seems we need Star Fleet Command running the show.
-
I now have enough information to build a starship in my garage. Thanks, Tim.
-
Imagine Using Starship to deploy a single small cube-sat, only to flex on every competitor because its cheaper...
-
You're a genius Tim. Thanks for dumbing this down into plain language. Your mission has been accomplished. Love your content.

"They both have boosters with landing legs and grid fins." Elon: no
