In episode 46 of #SpaceX in the News, we analyze the #starhopper 150 meter landing; get excited about the new #Starship upgrades and presentation; take a look at the new ridesharing and #Starlink mission schedule.

Welcome to Episode 29 of What about it!? In this Episode, we will take a look at the SpaceX Starhopper 150 Meter Test Flight summary. We will go in depth on what happened and maybe even more importantly, we will look at brand new info on what's next! There is a new date for the Starship Presentation 2019 and lots more! Last but not least, we will have a look at Cargo Dragons recent unberthing from the ISS and its return to earth. 

This afternoon and after a bunch of delays and a failed attempt at the launch yesterday due to an issue with the igniters SpaceX Starhopper Launches and took to the skies with its second and final untethered flight for this test vessel. The target flight for this was 150 meters in altitude which was revised down from 200 meters before today's flight. The reason for this seems to be due to regulatory approvals being more difficult above the 150 meter mark but that is possibly a little bit of speculation at this point. The starhopper itself is roughly 20 meters in height so we were expecting the view of the Starhopper hovering up around seven to eight times its own height before slowly coming back to gently touch down. From these shots it does certainly look like the target altitude there was reached successfully. The 150 Meter Flight Test is Successful! Here is my take on this amazing achievement. Congratulations SpaceX!

So the time has come where the SpaceX Starhopper test will take place. But this time it won't be a 20 m hop, but rather a SpaceX Starhopper 150m test. Then we also talk about two private spaceflight companies that want to send unmanned probes to the moon in 2021, as well as about Elon's wild idea to nuke mars.

Lots of new this week so here is a quick snapshot of everything going on. Firstly we’ll explore some news around Starhopper and Starship prototypes, we’re going to take a little peak at some of the most beautiful footage I’ve ever seen of the Dragon docked to the space station with a sunrise going on here in the background. We’ve had a the final United Launch Alliance flight of the Delta IV Medium rocket which is a little sad so we’ll touch on that. And also a little bit of exciting news that dropped this week about a brand new version of the game Kerbal Space Program 2 which has been announced. So loads of things to cover here.

SpaceX's Starhopper flight planned to go as high as 200 m is being delayed by the FAA, SpaceX's suborbital flights with the Starship prototypes could happen as early as September (Elon-time adjusted), and SpaceX has revealed the upcoming launches of the Starlink satellites until mid 2020.

In episode 43 of #SpaceX in the News, we talk about #Starhopper's current date with a 200m flight; look at the latest #Starship developments; briefly discuss Crew Dragon; cheer Elon Musk on with his plans to nuke Mars; meet a new friend of GO Ms. Tree; and dive deep into today's honorable mention.

Welcome to Episode 24 of What about it!? In this Episode, we'll take a look at what's happened with SpaceX's Starhopper and Starship prototypes lately. We will look at the progress made in BocaChica Texas and Cocoa Florida. Also we will have an in-depth look at the recent Falcon 9 AMOS-17 launch and we will answer the question, what a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster looks like after 3 years at sea!

SpaceX is nearing to completion on first two orbital Starship prototypes which should fly for the first time later this year, first to 5000m and if Elon musk can secure permits from FAA for high altitude tests could be performed in late 2019, perhaps just before Christmas or early in 2020, depending how success of earlier flights. Starhopper should perform its first proper 200m test flight. this could happen on Monday or more likely Tuesday.  I'll be making a video about it, so make sure you tune in. I'll try to live stream the event if Spacex allows for live stream and hold a chat with you all during the event. Bare in mind I live in London, so if the event is really late at night, I'll probably hit the sack, but let live stream continue on.

Check out the Most AMAZING Recent SpaceX Achievements! From the latest spacex hopper and falcon 9 to elon musk sending a tesla on a rocket in space, this top 10 list of incredible space missions done by spacex will amaze you! 

Now that Starhopper has fulfilled its mission, we focus on the Spacex Florida Starship, which will soon be transported to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) according to newly filed permits by SpaceX. Then of course we also want to talk about the next generation Starship 2.0, and also about the completion of the James Webb space telescope (JWST).

Here's a clip from episode 162 of the podcast where we did a launch hangout for SpaceX's Starhopper test to 150m. This was recorded on the first attempt, on August 26th, 2019 which was scrubbed 24 hours.

There was some solid space talk in there about what starhopper is and why SpaceX would want to build a water tower with rockets on it?

I've seen these questions pop up a lot, and heard a few other science communicators talk about this and I wanted to put a clip out on this for anyone searching for it as well.

In this video we want to think about how to make mars a habitable planet. Without some crucial upgrades to the current colonization ideas, we deem mars colonization impossible. We show ways to overcome the detrimental effects of low gravity and cosmic radiation, and therefore how to make mars habitable for humans.

In this breaking episode of #SpaceX in the News, we cover #Elon Musk's #Starhopper 150m flight - a huge step toward colonizing #Mars. 

What an amazing few days it has been. SpaceX Starhopper Lift Off with a 20 Meter Flight Test Successful! We also saw an interesting attempt at the same mission yesterday which has some nice footage included in this video. On top of all this we also had the incredible CRS-18 mission to the Space station which has launched beautifully with the booster of course making its way back to the landing site to touch down. There are of course a large number of fans out there super eager to cheer SpaceX on and celebrate all they’ve achieved over the last year or so but there is a heck of a lot of people trying to discredit projects such as Starhopper and the Starship prototypes. None of these people of course seem to comprehend how amazing all this is. The fact that SpaceX release all this test footage is just something that people are very unused to seeing. The general public just don’t seem to appreciate that failure and rapid prototypes are a great thing. Lets explore this topic in more detail shall we.

Welcome to Episode 28 of What about it!? In this Episode, we'll take a look at the latest info on the SpaceX Starhopper 150 Meter (it's been reduced) test flight. We will also take a look at the latest progress on the Starship Prototypes and a new heavy lift crane delivered to Boca Chica. Last but not least we will take a close look at the last ever Delta IV Medium launch and summarize it.

Welcome to Episode 27 of What about it!? In this Episode, we'll take a look at the possible reasons for the FAA delay of the SpaceX StarHopper 200 meter test flight. We will look at the road construction for Starship to Kennedy Space Center in Cocoa Florida and the first definite signs for Super Heavy construction. Last but not least we will have a full launch summary of Rocketlabs "Look Ma, No Hands" launch from Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand.

Welcome to Episode 26 of What about it!? In this Episode, we'll take a look at the new test dates for SpaceX's Starhoppers 200 Meter Hop, the Roadmap to SpaceX Starship completion, Linkspace's successfull 300 Meter hop test with their RLV-T5 and Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser that recently got dates for it's first launch on ULA's Vulcan rocket with the CRS-2 program towards the ISS!

The SpaceX Starhopper is preparing for its final 200m test flight. We're talking about what that means and where the Starhopper program fits into SpaceX's development plans.

Everything you need to know about SpaceX's Starship ,SuperHeavy and StarHopper so far. In 2002,

Elon Musk founded SpaceX with one single visionary goal in mind.
