    Go to drinkag1.com/whataboutit to get a year supply of vitamin d3k2, and 5 extra travel packs of AG1 with your first purchase! Do you think Brownsville is ready for the Boosters sonic booms?
  • @damonried1720
    That animation @ 3:00 showing the Catch Pin Alignment Hardware was extremely enlightening. I always assumed that the catch pins had to perfectly aligned before landing. I now see that there is about +/- 15 degrees of error margin. I am even more confident of a successful catch attempt. Bring on Flight Five!
  • @neoanderson7
    audio mics will never give true audio justice to a sonic boom. Especially one coming from Super Heavy booster on Starship! 🙂 Can't wait for the next Startship launch!!!
  • In the past, a sign of a successful launch was an empty launchpad. In the future, a sign of success will have the launchpad occupied by part of the rocket...again.
  • @princejbc2003
    “Upside down Starbase in Australia!” 👏👏 Well played…subtle jab there.
  • @CromoPaleoShow
    Personally. I think catching the booster this early is a bit crazy. I think a couple more splashdowns would be better to hone down on accuracy. I think catching the booster in general is crazy. But to be fair, half of what starship has pulled off these past couple years I thought was crazy. I hope I’m as amazed as I was with flight 4!
  • @clavo3352
    Felix might want to mention that the booster weighs about 10% of its take off weight and has a separate fuel supply just for landing. Would be so cool to get an idea of the radar type aligning infrastructure.
  • Spotted a WAI Tesla at KSC earlier this week! Keep up the good work
  • @apostolakisl
    Where is the $40m price tag for a Dream Chaser launch coming from? Last I saw Vulcan launches (not including payload costs) was over $100m. A Dream Chaser launch would have to be at least $150m
  • @chrisp7652
    I hope Elon names the new tower “Professor Suggon Deeznutz”!
  • @nonya-bizness
    crazy but Awsome that SpaceX reached out to your channel to help inform the public! :D
  • @briansass9551
    One could argue that rocket engineering is an applied science, therefore Rocket Science! 😁
  • @WillArtie
    Ah yes, AG1. Maybe look up a few reports on the company and gentleman who is behind that product.
  • @SteveSiegelin
    I had a friend who was a lead programmer for NASA, she was also my billiards team captain. When she retired from NASA they bought her a lacasse pool stick and had her name on the top. On the bottom part of the stick in quotations it said "it's only rocket science" that was the first time I ever saw that saying in writing. The best part is it was written by NASA engineers 😂. . . I've had the privilege of meeting a lot of people that work for NASA including the head communications officer for curiosity. You never know who you're going to run into 😊
  • @kidkarma6931
    I might be biased but I believe Dragon capsule launched atop a falcon 9 booster will still be cheaper than dream chaser in the long run because the jettisoned piece off of the dream chaser would need to be replaced every time. Eventually the cost would exceed that of the dragon capsule. Not to mention dragon wouldnt have to launch as often due to the increased payload size furthering the price difference over time.
