This has been a pretty wild week. Will SpaceX really get to go for that double catch in Flight 15!? We've been waiting years to see this my friends. Oh, that and a leaping rocket Roadster...
🚀 Loads to catch up on today! 😍

Rocket Lab officially explained why the first Neutron mission is now pushed to 2027. Carbon fibre is tricky. Hope they can nail the build for flight soon. 🤞

I've been quietly building a game for the past few years. and today it finally goes out the door! 🚀
Until recently, I had no idea what shape it would take. It turned into Starship Space Program: a Kerbal-like flight sim for Starship and Super Heavy. You fly the hops, hot staging, the booster catch on the tower, and on to orbit, with real orbital physics. Starbase is built from lidar, so the pads and the tower are exactly where they really are. Catching the booster in the chopsticks yourself is as good as it sounds.
It's an early alpha, and that's the point: I want the people who love this stuff to shape what it becomes from here. Things will break. Tell me what does.

I've had a copyright claim submitted over a few small Tesla clips in my latest video while talking about some of the sweet Roadster thruster footage. Obviously all fair use. How is it fair @YouTubeCreators that a baseless claim like this can be made by a company that has absolutely nothing to do with Tesla? All monetisation removed again for up to 30 days including shopping and I just need to take it until my dispute expires. Add to that I need to tick boxes in my dispute submission agreeing that
"I understand that filing fraudulent disputes may result in termination of my YouTube channel."
For creators this stuff scares them into being bullied into having their earnings taken away. It only needs a 2 second glance to see that the claim itself is fraudulent, so such claims should never make their way to a creator in the first place.
All the power is with the claimant, almost nothing with the creator. 🥺
Out of the full 26 min video, they get to claim all ad revenue if I don't argue it. Only talked about the Roadster for a little over 2 mins as it was. Sigh

Wow! 🤯 The fact it has been confirmed again that this is the plan in Flight 15 along with a catch of the Super Heavy absolutely blows my mind. This new animation is inspiration+.
Excitement Guaranteed!

About 3.42 g off the line... Great googly moogly! 🤯
A Tesla made only for Tom Cruise I guess. 🤷♂️

Awesome experience there. Fram 2 was one of my favs. I do wish we had seen much more of all the footage taken from that mission.
What a great night, when you can, definitely meet your heroes. I had the honor of meeting Aussie astronaut, Eric Philips, a man who has literally travelled to the ends of the earth, by land and space. So fantastic to chat and hear his incredible sojourn so far. The next generation of space cadets can only benefit with amazing space ambassadors like Eric, sharing his experiences from the void and the ice he stood, 400km’s beneath his space craft.
Holy shirtballs!
Many of you are talking about the “space jellyfish” following this morning’s launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
More than 6,300 scientific investigations and cargo are on their way to the @Space_Station, as part of SpaceX's 35th commercial resupply services mission for NASA.
A jellyfish happens near sunrise or sunset when the exhaust plume from the rocket becomes brightly illuminated, creating a glowing shape resembling a jellyfish.
Show us where you captured the jellyfish?
ALT A nighttime sky shows a bright rocket plume forming a large glowing halo with a wispy, swirling cloud above it, resembling a jellyfish shape. A small bright point marks the rocket high in the sky, leaving a narrow illuminated trail.

Hell yea! Let's take a ride on Ship 40! 🤯
😍
Wow! That is just incredible!
Falcon Heavy boost back burn slowed to 50% during NROL-97.

So seeing Ship 40 come home, and that new Starlink V3 deploy footage from Starship has been pretty wild this week.
🚀 As always, a load to catch up on my friends! 🥳
