SpaceX Starship Updates – Kennedy Space Center SpaceX & Blue Origin Update

Welcome to Episode 67 of What about it!?

In this Episode, we will take a look at SpaceX's progress in finding the right patterns and welding methods for bulkhead construction. SpaceX's focus in Boca Chica right is to find the best solutions for the construction of the primal structure of Starship SN1. We will also take a look at Blue Origins progress at Exploration Park and SpaceX's latest progress at Kennedy Space Centers Pad 39A.
 

SpaceX Starship Updates – Kennedy Space Center SpaceX & Blue Origin Update

Comments

The focus on the Starship construction for the first half of the year will be on the domes and other internal components with ongoing testing with the third quarter focused on the actual build and the fourth quarter on flight testing. πŸš€ It’s great that Blue Origin has there infrastructure established but the wait to see their rockets launch is like watching paint dry. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Of course we always watch each and every episode closely, great job Felix. πŸ‘

You'll see this repeated on the main stream - of course I had to share my wisdom with the wider world. ;)

That Blue Origin thought made my day! :D Thank you for all these great comments on my posts, Don. I always like reading them!

As always, thanks for pulling together all this great info. Interesting pic of the Kennedy launch stand. Yes, all piping. Your linking of the concept drawing and pic looks right - and vertical propellant lines fits with the announced design that Starship will be fueled on the pad with the same fittings it will use in orbit, i.e. ones at its base. And... the Dragon trunk sustained so little damage from the abort and long long fall. Wow! Hitting water from great heights is like hitting concrete, although I suppose it slowed a bit from tumbling. Blue Origin- just think how far along they'd be if they used tents! :)
