You Won't Believe What They Did with a Rocket! Yes, this is real!

That Chinese rocket test building looked like a perfect hideout for a James Bond villain. "No Mr Bond I expect you to fry!" 😀

Would be awesome if your videos included timestamps for different topics.

I can't get over the resolution of the Falcon 9 flight footage. You are right, Marcus... watching these flights never gets old.

The wing pivot on an F-14 is made of titanium and is approx. an inch thick. This pivot “tang” is placed between an upper and lower titanium ‘clevis’, one on each end of the center titanium wing box, of similar thickness with a bearing. Just thought it interesting while considering chopstick precision. It is amazing that I got to see he moon landing when I was 12 years old, saw the first deep space and planetary probes, worked on the space shuttle program, and now can watch the next phase of progress off planet taking place.

Dialing in the Falcon 9's ability to go from crash and burn to flawless landings...is a great metaphor for a stumbling person (like myself) to keep 'iterating'!

That YF-100K test building looks like something straight out of Goldeneye, loving the 90's James Bond aesthetic.

18:06 - A 9 metre by 9 metre solar sail "the size of a small apartment". You can tell that Marcus doesn't live in an overcrowded city! Here in London I couldn't help smiling at that.

What a gift we’ve had watching a factory being built around a rocket assembly line. It’s amazing that most of the world doesn’t have a clue. By the way, what’s the white paint pattern for on the outside of the left catch arm?

Every time I see a booster land, I get just as excited watching as the first time. Your right. Never gets old

that long march 12 test building looks like its got a bond villains security system.

Starship catching. My suggestion is, would it be a good idea to pick up the starship loaded with the landing fuels lifted to the tower's maximum height? Then start the landing engines while held by the arms, then when the hover has stabilised, release the arms, hover around a little and recatch with the arms and recovery?

Okay Marcus, we see you coming down the ladder on Saturday! Nice job you and your team did with explaining the effects of launch latitudes.

Unbelievable just how much is going on behind the scenes. . Exciting times! Thank you MH + Team for an excellent upload.

Of course booster capture can work. The key item is that the booster can Hoover, making the falcons zero velocity at zero height unnecessary, as the booster can assist with its capture. Much easier, just be strong enough

Thanks for the update Marcus

I do love both the "weeks off" like last week where you drill down on a particular issue, but bringing in the news of the last two weeks? I so look forward to this!

That YF-100 engine is a derivative of rd-120 and it still took them >25 YEARS to develop! And people complain about Starship timelines 😂

Great video as always! What a great start to my weekend, so much news this time, and loving this longer type of video. thank you

Another great episode, Marcus. Thank you for the weekly updates and thank you to Henson Shaving for the continued support.

Awesome update. Compelling viewing. Thanks to Marcus and Team
