Starship Flight 5

[wraith glacier]

elon thinks so

[outer bobcat]

yeah accurate

[small roost]

The weather is so good thi

[wraith glacier]

and so do the people who i’ve talked with

[small roost]

Its super clear many stars no wind

[outer bobcat]

please launch today

launch gods

[wraith glacier]

how many pieces will the tower be in at the end of the day

[glad vortex]

BTW some of the back up days have much longer launch windows than today
14th and 15th seems to have 2 hours windows

[outer bobcat]

2hrs 30 mins till window

[worthy rock]

I'm at risk of bursting with how excited I am right now I don't think I could take it if they didn't launch

[rugged girder]

The activity in particular is them starting the tank farm conditioning

They cool down transfer lines and whatnot, things vaporize, they get either recondensed for the methane or vented out like oxygen and nitrogen

The pope vent I believe is for the oxygen

[outer bobcat]

makes sense cuz it wouldnt be methane

[oblique osprey]

With these cars staged there I wonder if something was wrong

[outer bobcat]

maybe something was wrong

[wraith glacier]

they seem to be proceeeding with the count

[oblique osprey]

They’ve got out the car

[outer bobcat]

oh there are car(s) at the pad

[vapid sable]

you should say on stream "the nextspaceflight discord server says hi"

[outer bobcat]

well

[small roost]

Uh

[outer bobcat]

maybe the cars at the roadblock are waiting for that car at the pad

or cars at the pad

[vapid sable]

was there a car that went out there

[outer bobcat]

apparently

[vapid sable]

i thought it left?

[outer bobcat]

maybe it left

[vapid sable]

how long ago did it go out there?

[outer bobcat]

mustve been within the hour

pope vent is at it

well its just under 3 hours till the end of the launch window

how long usually does it take from pope vent to launch?

[wraith glacier]

i don’t think they’d be doing prop ops if there was a car at the pad

[outer bobcat]

(or end of wdr)

idk anymore

[oblique osprey]

The cars are just doing something with some tank

[mild aurora]

Flip coin

[outer bobcat]

it might be joever, we might be joeing

[worthy rock]

tails

[wraith glacier]

someone just tested their fire alarm what the fuck (it is 2:36am)

[outer bobcat]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1291868934844321796/1294955111482789950/this-chart-applies-to-everything-captures-my-feelings-v0-diktmcdysbgb1.webp?ex=670ce46d&is=670b92ed&hm=57ef499f42c40a6d06e2d4f398c6f1ba2a40053501dfdd379c1726f949ced8fe&=&format=webp&width=895&height=676

this really

[true flame]

2:36am cooking shenanigans

I understand them

[outer bobcat]

great answer

theres a fcking helicopter

flying around starbase

is that elon arriving or something

[oblique osprey]

wtf

[scenic delta]

maybe its elon musk arriving at starbase?

[wraith glacier]

attack helicopter

[outer bobcat]

ULA attack helicopter

[wraith glacier]

why is the nsf video so laggy tonight

[wraith glacier]

exaclty

[scenic delta]

or maybe trump has come to watch Flight 5? who knows

[wraith glacier]

pew peeing that schnitzel

[outer bobcat]

i thought that was just me

[wraith glacier]

i hope not

[scenic delta]

yeah

[oblique osprey]

Wtf lmao

[glad vortex]

I don’t see a helo there on FR24

[oblique osprey]

The helicopter just landed next to cars

[outer bobcat]

its just landed right next to the car lmao

what is going on

[wraith glacier]

incredible

[scenic delta]

its elon musk im sure

[wraith glacier]

check ads-b exchange

[scenic delta]

wowwww

[outer bobcat]

this is so strange lol

[wraith glacier]

nah, look at the clock and how it’s not laggy

[outer bobcat]

oh yeah

they refuelling the thing?

why here 😭

[wraith glacier]

cause they can

[vapid sable]

Yup it’s actually me. I’m the ULA sniper. I will shoot B12 as it comes in for the catch

[outer bobcat]

clutch

[main patrol]

is that a cg heli

[outer bobcat]

potentially

[worthy rock]

CG?

[outer bobcat]

coast guard

[main patrol]

looking at images it doesnt have coast guard written on it

[outer bobcat]

welcome to starbase everyone

[oblique osprey]

Nah it’s a hired one

[outer bobcat]

where we have refuelling of helicopters right next to the worlds most powerful rocket

[main patrol]

people are saying the heli is dropping off elon

[worthy rock]

the gall

[oblique osprey]

Back up deluge

[outer bobcat]

its a fire heli?

what are they gonna do, drop a small bag of water over the mount

[wraith glacier]

makes no sense

[oblique osprey]

Maybe if things go wrong they want to be able to out the fire out as quick as possible

[wraith glacier]

my guess is it’s being used for range monitoring but i dunno

[outer bobcat]

its jeff bezos, he wants to stop the launch so that people watch NS-27

[scenic delta]

NSF Starship stream has turned into helicopter watch stream

[scenic delta]

I second that

[lethal frost]

Is it Octover? Or are we Octoing?

[scenic delta]

why?

[outer bobcat]

take your time lads

[worthy rock]

it may not be octover but it's looking sundover

[outer bobcat]

not like we got a launch or something

[wraith glacier]

why would bro come on a firefighting helicopter

[scenic delta]

i am done for today

[outer bobcat]

lmao

[scenic delta]

Please stop trolling, its hard to bear this

[outer bobcat]

poor perseverence

pope vent is still going so no threat

[wraith glacier]

can methane even jellyfish

[outer bobcat]

anything can

[wraith glacier]

it’s giving steam engine

[scenic delta]

LH2 doesnt atleast,its just transparent

[outer bobcat]

well, yeah i guess

[wraith glacier]

huh okay, prob not as good as a kero one tho

[outer bobcat]

thats cuz its water coming out the back

[wraith glacier]

methane is pretty transparent too

[outer bobcat]

yeah less prominent

smaller molecule

Wow that was a blast from the past

[outer bobcat]

this was not on my bingo card today

[scenic delta]

at one point, spacex was going to have a large F9 derived super heavy launch vehicle..... with giant engines.

[oblique osprey]

Heli is in startup

[vapid sable]

I’ll never do that again that has consequences I was not expecting 💀

[wraith glacier]

vibes are in a trough rn

[vapid sable]

Ok now what is that helicopter doing tho

[oblique osprey]

Taking off, believed to be carrying water in case of emergency

[vapid sable]

Ohhhh makes sense

[wraith glacier]

bro is braving the prop wash

[vapid sable]

In case of 💥

[scenic delta]

is this starship? i thought it ws a rocket

[oblique osprey]

had to refuel now to make start of launch

[raw iris]

for when the catch go kaboom?

[wraith glacier]

it’s now a plane watching stream

[scenic delta]

water for?

[worthy rock]

if*

[wraith glacier]

cutting it might close

[oblique osprey]

Fired and explosions

[scenic delta]

btw what is it actually

i fail to understand

[verbal fern]

where you think b12 is gonna land

[lethal frost]

Booster landing prediction

I say hoppy gets a hat

[scenic delta]

ohh

[vapid sable]

I would change my prediction but

[verbal fern]

no >:(

[lethal frost]

I chose where hoppy moved to, rather than where it was before

[outer bobcat]

i would as well cuz i made that prediction like 3 months ago

[vapid sable]

Yeah that’s why I said but

[small roost]

Theres somone playing loud music 🗿

[outer bobcat]

and i actually think they will catch it

[twin magnet]

Are we still going?

[proven jasper]

see ya in hell B12

[outer bobcat]

so far yes

[unkempt coyote]

Can I still put mine or am not allowed to

[vapid sable]

did you get a good one?

[unkempt coyote]

I would go for H6

[pastel leaf]

I would say so

[proven jasper]

ohhh
well don’t worry i’ve gotta go at T-1

unless you have said it before and I havent seen it

[small roost]

I see a spotlight checking shore

From boat

[verbal fern]

looking for boat

[lethal frost]

How far off target to you bet the ship will be this time?

[vapid sable]

1km or less imo

[verbal fern]

lands on perth

[unkempt coyote]

Imagine it lands on top and just

[lethal frost]

Millions of dollars of improvements

[verbal fern]

[lethal frost]

Booster lands perfectly balanced on the roof

[unkempt coyote]

Mission successfully failed

[outer bobcat]

goated nsf cast rn

im so happy im on the show

[vapid sable]

i want alex to say "the nextspaceflight discord server says hi"

[scenic delta]

booster should have abort to splashdown option on every stage of flight.. some failures iss definitely there .. even F9 failed a month ago to land

[scenic delta]

HUGE

[outer bobcat]

thats the case for F9

[vapid sable]

I said a thing

[vapid sable]

fr

[twin magnet]

when is sunrise

[outer bobcat]

they target the ocean then if everything is good the engine lights up and targets the landing barge

[small roost]

Prop load wen

[vapid sable]

i need food or something but im also too hyped to eat

[outer bobcat]

T - 50min ish i think

[twin magnet]

the farm is spooled up and ready?

[outer bobcat]

its cooling

[scenic delta]

what if something happens to booster right before landing? all GSE boom?

[outer bobcat]

olm vent/tower vent should be soon

[scenic delta]

not for today, i mean, once its operational

[worthy rock]

DRUGS

[outer bobcat]

for Super Heavy?

[scenic delta]

yeah

[outer bobcat]

tough luck

it goes boom

[scenic delta]

it doesnt seem sustainably saf

safe

[outer bobcat]

but it shouldnt be targetting the tank farm

[worthy rock]

they have a bunch of abort modes

including "point at the ocean and burn"

[small roost]

Seeing nsf stream on evryones phones is so funny

[outer bobcat]

if anything its the chopsticks that go first, then the mount

[scenic delta]

everything goes at the end

[outer bobcat]

is there a crowd there?

[scenic delta]

nothing survives

[small roost]

Yesh

[vapid sable]

omg look who it is 💀 💀 💀

[worthy rock]

of course there is lmao

[outer bobcat]

u do realise there isnt much propellent in the booster when it gets caught

so like the explosion wont be gigantic

[verbal fern]

but if it lands on the tank farm...

[outer bobcat]

which it shouldnt

unless the guidance was terribly wrong

[vapid sable]

IGW livestream start soon

[scenic delta]

Launch mount would still go

[worthy rock]

if anything goes wrong they're gonna turn towards the ocean and burn

[scenic delta]

even if no properllant, but booster does have mass.. i guess 250t?

[twin magnet]

what is current local time in Texas

[unkempt coyote]

Can we talk about the fact this might cause our other flights take a while to launch in 2025

[scenic delta]

i mean, if something just happens before landing....

[outer bobcat]

the default path for the booster after launch is the gulf, during BBB, the FD gives a manual override to go for catch if systems on booster and tower are all go.

[glad vortex]

5:27 am

[twin magnet]

oh so it's launch right at sunrise

[scenic delta]

yeah

[worthy rock]

there's gonna be a kinetic failure before an explosive one

[twin magnet]

or well window opens

[verbal fern]

we gotta hope for a jellyfish

[scenic delta]

yess,

[unkempt coyote]

Oh right I remember FAA confirmed we can do Flight 6

Nvm

[outer bobcat]

yeah

[vernal dirge]

Sunrise is half an hour after the start of the window

[outer bobcat]

unless spacex change something

[unkempt coyote]

Hhh

[vernal dirge]

So pretty much

[verbal fern]

flight 6 in 2 weeks

[outer bobcat]

if all of this goes well i can see one before the end of the year

[scenic delta]

spacex: requests FAA for starship upper stage catch attempt

[verbal fern]

LOL

[unkempt coyote]

LMAO

[verbal fern]

they aint catching the ship for a while

[unkempt coyote]

Fr

[outer bobcat]

(they shouldnt at all imo)

[unkempt coyote]

It's gonna take years before their allowed to

[outer bobcat]

90 minutes till window opens

[scenic delta]

nd i dont see them catching starship with crew ever

[unkempt coyote]

I'd be surprised if they just took them for a year or months!!

[scenic delta]

i mean its just wild to imagine

[oblique osprey]

Taken off now

[verbal fern]

whats gonna be different about flight 6?

[scenic delta]

they surely can, not very diff from how booster is caught

[outer bobcat]

nothing probably

other than the vehicles

[verbal fern]

hm

[unkempt coyote]

Same thing just testing

[outer bobcat]

no its silly, the ship needs legs anyways

[scenic delta]

are dragon splashdowns accurate at the location? like pinpoint??

[outer bobcat]

just land it normally

[unkempt coyote]

Yknow see how many times they can do this til it's stable

Like boosters

[scenic delta]

bcz a thing coming from orbit ... its hard to get perfect accuracy without significant aerodynamic control like Space shuttle

[worthy rock]

I'm still not convinced they're gonna go for the catch attempt

[unkempt coyote]

Same

[outer bobcat]

OLM VENT (i think)

[unkempt coyote]

BUT WE'RE ALL HERE FOR IT

[scenic delta]

yeah

[twin magnet]

I think it's 50/50 for catch attempt

[outer bobcat]

yeah, it works or it doesnt

[verbal fern]

they keep saying my name and i keep turning my head

[unkempt coyote]

[scenic delta]

why

[outer bobcat]

i dont think it is olm vent actually

[worthy rock]

spacex tweet soon?

[oblique osprey]

12 minutes

[outer bobcat]

how are they gonna land on mars

[unkempt coyote]

20 min I think

[scenic delta]

carrying legs all the way to orbit doesnt seem good

[scenic delta]

to the mars yeah,

[mild aurora]

We're going live shortly if anyone wants to witness hell, we have no script, like two sentences as an outline and not much of a plan but
https://youtu.be/S4XIsqs8YoI

[scenic delta]

wait until there's a mini tower on mars too

[outer bobcat]

whos gonna build that

[verbal fern]

oh yeah I forgot you guys are doing onw

[worthy rock]

"carrying a heatshield all the way to orbit is useless because htey're only gonna use it on re-entry"

[vapid sable]

Sounds fun

[worthy rock]

are you talking

[mild aurora]

will be

[worthy rock]

I will be there

[scenic delta]

animated booster catch is wild,, imagine happening it for real. surely it wont happen in my lifetime?

[unkempt coyote]

We're gonna bully you (not really, I hope)

[scenic delta]

good point

[verbal fern]

Do you guys need a marcush on the stream

like nsf

[worthy rock]

I'm making fun of you you're not meant to agree with me 😭

[outer bobcat]

folded under zero pressure

[scenic delta]

i remember when there were giant six non-moving legs on starship booster

[outer bobcat]

same (never real but the renders had them)

[scenic delta]

but i agree wit you yeah, its a good point....

[outer bobcat]

booster catch kinda makes sense from the rapid reusability pov, im not convinced on ship catching

[unkempt coyote]

They don't have to move shit anymore

[scenic delta]

what does catching the booster save compared to landing, apart from saving some mass?

[verbal fern]

time

[outer bobcat]

u can put the booster on the pad quicker

[unkempt coyote]

mhm

[scenic delta]

like, for quick turnaround, the tower arms can lift booster from ground anyways

[verbal fern]

recovering a booster out on sea takes forever

[scenic delta]

no, just land it near the tower

[outer bobcat]

not if the legs are unfolded

[unkempt coyote]

They have to move it most of the time

[twin magnet]

I'm 100% still in favour of just putting ships on the pad

[scenic delta]

they can solve that issue

[vapid sable]

The sun is rising for me

My first fully successful all nighter

[verbal fern]

I like the idea of catching the booster but not the ship

[outer bobcat]

they have (hopefully), catch the booster, save mass and weight

[verbal fern]

the ship should be landed with legs

[unkempt coyote]

Too risky it's the same risky for catching the booster so might aswell do that

[scenic delta]

yeah , because starship will need checks and refurbishment anyways after bearing atmospheric re-entry

[scenic delta]

i see where this idea to catch came from

[twin magnet]

ah the WB trackers are there

[unkempt coyote]

WB?

[outer bobcat]

WB-57

nasa recon aircraft

[worthy rock]

how do they get the heat shield to orbit if they don't launch with it?

[scenic delta]

you with who others?

[outer bobcat]

based on the B-57 Canberra postwar bomber

[scenic delta]

heat shield req yeah

[verbal fern]

nerds

[unkempt coyote]

PFF

[scenic delta]

why didnt shuttle have identical TPS tiles?

[wheat kayak]

A Marcus H* for every stream!

[scenic delta]

you too?

[twin magnet]

[verbal fern]

marcus house is my evil clone who ran away

[outer bobcat]

shuttle has a weird shape thats why

[verbal fern]

maaaaybe

im trying to wiggle in like marcus house

[scenic delta]

wasnt it just flat on the bottom?

[worthy rock]

let me guess it's near starbase

[vapid sable]

roughly 5 minutes till poll

[scenic delta]

okay

[outer bobcat]

slightly bulged i think

[twin magnet]

yes

[outer bobcat]

not a shuttle expert so im not sure

[scenic delta]

okay

[scenic delta]

it would be still flying if it had identical tiles... would save costs and time

[wheat kayak]

"hey hey" starts with the same two letters as "hell". your story checks out!

[scenic delta]

orbital construction capability is something very unique only shuttle had

[worthy rock]

160k watching is upsetting

[verbal fern]

ooo thats

thats upsetting

[outer bobcat]

its like 99% bots

[scenic delta]

if we had shuttle, we could possibly bring back ISS modules

[verbal fern]

still

[scenic delta]

ohh

[worthy rock]

we might even get to kill another 7 people while we're at it!

[outer bobcat]

or 14

[unkempt coyote]

No more losing people in flights

[small roost]

Somebody has a whole tv playing thr nsf stream

olm vent and tower vent are starting so i think theyre go

[main patrol]

hi disagreement

[worthy rock]

I'm probably gonna miss half of it because my parents take my devices at night

[outer bobcat]

that is actually criminal

i think i would explode if it was like t-5mins and my parents took my phone, laptop, etc

[scenic delta]

how old are you? 9?

they shouldnt do that for today

[wheat kayak]

noooo. go to a pub where they are livesteaming the launch xD

[outer bobcat]

no way u have seen a launch in a pub

[worthy rock]

I'm 17

[wheat kayak]

sadly no. but that would be epic

[scenic delta]

and you can anyway installl an app blocker in phone to prevent you from using at night,unless neccessary, like today, your parents would be satisfies

[worthy rock]

I'm 17, they can't install that stuff on my phone

[wheat kayak]

like football is fun and all but rocket launches 🤤

ask them please. an app blocker. i would say "Screenzen " r "Digital detox". its free

you can schedule block at night time

[wheat kayak]

I don't watch leagues much

[vapid sable]

My parents have that tracker stuff on my phone, it’s annoying

[small roost]

[wheat kayak]

I join in during World Cup and Europe sometimes

Since yesterday yes

[outer bobcat]

yes as of yesterday

[scenic delta]

they will just make a new Mount im sure, a modern one

[vapid sable]

Why’d you reply to my message for that

[frosty timber]

Weird

SpaceX says it will start at T-35

But that's T-25

[oblique osprey]

I believe it was just a mistake as website also changed to say it’ll start later

[outer bobcat]

cars left roadblock

so theyre moving that back

good news

[main patrol]

hi inconsistency

[outer bobcat]

thats basically confirmation of go for prop load

[frosty timber]

SpaceX classic

[vapid sable]

Website still says it’ll start 35 minutes before

[oblique osprey]

Earlier I meant

[main patrol]

so at most 10 minutes late of schedule

[vapid sable]

Basically, we’ll see when we see

[oblique osprey]

Stream should start earlier but they accidentally changed it to start later

[outer bobcat]

if we are going by the stream then launch will be around 10 mins past the hour

[vapid sable]

Bc they don’t know how to be consistent

when will spacex stream starts

[outer bobcat]

in about 30 mins

[true flame]

There’s an app ?

[vapid sable]

Either 35 or 25 minutes before we don’t know

[main patrol]

the discord app

[twin magnet]

probably between 11:30 and 12:00 depending on when in the window they're targeting

[frosty timber]

If they are still targeting the opening of the window, propellant load should start in 5 minutes

[unkempt coyote]

You know what would happen

[outer bobcat]

yep, i think thats when OLM and tower vents stop, right?

[scenic delta]

discord

[vapid sable]

I’ve got a big goofy grin on my face

[frosty timber]

At least OLM, tower I'm not sure of

[scenic delta]

whats going on

@frosty timber

[worthy rock]

what's the expected time utnil they use the new OLM?

[unkempt coyote]

It's dying

[worthy rock]

venting you fucking imbecile

[unkempt coyote]

What did you do

[frosty timber]

They are conditioning the propellant lines

[scenic delta]

Flgiht 8 im sure

[outer bobcat]

lmao

[vapid sable]

Geez

[outer bobcat]

its normal dw

[scenic delta]

shut up

[verbal fern]

[scenic delta]

i meant, does that vent mean Fueling has started?

[scenic delta]

okkkk

[outer bobcat]

when it stops it means fuelling is underway

[worthy rock]

watching boca chica streams reminds me of how atrocious the reception out there is

[frosty timber]

No, if that big vent stops, that's when propellant load starts

[outer bobcat]

for the booster

[scenic delta]

ok buddy

[worthy rock]

I don't know if this was intentional but this sounds extremely passive agressive

[outer bobcat]

real

[main patrol]

but ship loading starts before booster loading 🤔 im guessing vents from the tower are ship related and vents from the olm are booster related

[outer bobcat]

yes

[scenic delta]

noo

[worthy rock]

igw really provides the best camera views

[twin magnet]

[vapid sable]

Not shaky I guess

But

[outer bobcat]

starting to get nervous

[vapid sable]

I feel the nervousness in my bones

[outer bobcat]

yeah it wont go at the start of the window

unless vents have stopped

[main patrol]

as soon as olm vent stops, we’re at t-50min?

[outer bobcat]

i think its something like t-48 or t-49

but ye

[main patrol]

49:50 says website

oh wait thats for ship

[outer bobcat]

very small activity tho

[main patrol]

loading a little propellant

[frosty timber]

Yup, should grow bigger again

And then stop when prop load starts
