When Elon started Space X he tried to hire rocket engineers but as he had no history in that field no one capable of doing the job would Hire on. Elon studied physics in college and decided to train himself. he read up on rocket designs and went to work. It was only after he had his initial success, his third rocket launching, the first two blew up, that he gained the required credibility that enabled him to hire good engineers. THIS MAN CAN INSPECT ROCKET ENGINES - HE BUILT THEM!

IF NOTHING ELSE , ELON is putting on full display what happens when you employ potentially some of the best human minds around .

What you didn't discuss was the obvious partial failure of the fill valves on the booster that were leaking both oxidizer and fuel to make the flame shooting from the side of the booster. This may have been an over pressure mechanism, but that has not been stated. There was also, clearly, a small engine bay fire above the engines themselves that burned for a good 15 minutes post engine shutdown. I've not heard or read anything concerning that fire as well.

I suspected the glowing engines were descent friction or compression heated. So cure might be a few more thrust hits coming down to lower those temps, or pumping water into the combustion chambers to use the heat to create free retro thrust using steam. This would at least keep bell temps down and reduce velocity. Also reduce fire chances. Could be emptying ships reserve potable water as a positive. Elon at one time was talking water cooling for re-entry. I'm really happy with the whole flight 5, they didnt get perfect, but close enough to not need much improvement. Another question I had was on chopsticks to landing points allignment, if there was an adjustment, or just relying on ship's positioning system? From the looks of things, hop staging might really be possible. which would speed things up and reduce crane and tower dependency. And am seriously looking forward to Raptor 3/V-2 Starships. They should be impressive... And maybe if you had them operating throttled down during backwards coming in, the cooling system could turn the generated air heat into increased thrust for fuel at an idle... More physics free lunch, paid for during ascent. What I am expecting on flight 6, is quicker lift off from Stationary zero, observable increase in ship's acceleration. Less unburnt gasses in plume, and Pretty blue flame.... Also on Starship re-entry, more long high glide time. and less over heating during final landing phase start. From what I saw flight five Starship was not being damaged during high glide. And only took stress for maybe 30 seconds during switch over into landing manouver. I have 100% confidence in it being easily improved. And a bit of tweaking on booster coming in will have it looking professional. Basically zero doubt next flight will look even better. I'd say we are over the hump on the defeat of the Malthusian Paradigm. Now we just need to increase funding by at least 10X, increase production, and start branching out from this tech foundational point. I think flight 6 will be that point. And that the Raptor 3's will convince the last Old Guard types. Its gonna be a new Space Navy soon, things develope surprizingly fast. If I were the DOD, I'd have Elon and Gwen on the horn, and talking about financing a second Raptor 3 production facility, as soon as the bugs were out of the first one. None of this was lost on the Chinese.... And sure they will grok Raptor 3's instantly. Best to hit the ground running on all combustion chambers...

Given EMs philosophy about the best part being no part, I suspect that the coating of R3 is a heat resistant substance vs just paint. Looking at a picture of the R3, the coating atarts at a particular point where heat wiuod be generated. It would've been easier to just leave that portion bare. I just had a thought. The "coating" may not be an applique at all. It might be a special alloy. Did SpaceX 3D print the dark colored portion of the R3? EM did say that they printed a portion of the engine to reduce plumbing conplexity. They could tweak the alloy to increase rigidity and/or heat resistance. Could it be that they only built one R3 to see how much more it would need yo be tweaked from the data and inspections of IFT5? I wouldn't put it past them to have built and tested the R3 as a proof of concept, expecting to tweak it from the observations of IFT5. Thoughts?

The cone warping was most likely caused the the heat of re-entry. Some videos reveal it was glowing red hot even without the engines on. That's a problem. Although those engines are designed to work at incredibly hot temperatures but that includes super cold fuel flowing thru the engine and cones. The re-entry without any cooling would be a problem. I suspect it could be solved by leaking some super cooled fuel into those cones in order to prevent warpage -- provided they have sufficient extra fuel to do so. In the worse case one could dump the supercool Nitrogen into those cones too (although it adds plumbing complexity)

Imagine the cost of an airline ticket if the aircraft and engines were tossed after every flight. The massive global airline industry we have today would not exist. Currently this tossing away is what we do with each space flight. Until now. Space and all it contains just got a lot closer.

The information is heavily restricted of course because the USA government made it clear that actors such as North Korea, China, and Iran must not acquire the design info to make ICBM missiles which Falcon/Raptor can clearly do. And the deployment of maneuverable communication satellites is basically the same as war missiles depositing multiple warhead re-entry vehicles loitering in orbit until commanded to drop down on a target.

All objects fall with constant acceleration, called acceleration due to gravity (in the absence of air resistances). It is constant and does not depend upon the mass of an object.

the correct answer to this is altitude, and the lack of an entry burn. on a return to launch site landing of falcon 9, it begins its boostback burn about 20 km lower than what superheavy did, so superheavy spent longer accelerating because it spent longer in the thin atmosphere where air resistance isnt enough to slow it down. falcon 9 will also relight its engines to reduce some of that velocity that it had picked up, before hitting the thickest park of the atmosphere to reduce the amount it has to bleed off as heat, but starship being stainless steel can withstand that heat so entry burn isnt neccessary. howd i do?

3:10 “ Given that Super Heavy is considerably greater than Falcon Nine it’s decent speed is significantly greater”? Hang on, I thought all objects in a vacuum fell at the same rate regardless of weight.

nether of these rockets are accelerating during free fall, they are slowing down do to drag, falcon9 has more surface area to weight ratio, so it slows down much faster, so less heat. its like dropping a brick vs an empty soda can, they will fall at different speeds unless they are in vacuum. Edit: the rockets are not in vacuum, they would not be generating any heat from friction or slowing down from it if they where

The super heavy has a much greater surface area in its engine bay, and therefore, much more air is displaced at these high speeds. Therefore, much more displacement and heating occurs.

Someone needs to drop a feather and a rock on the moon (wait, that's been done) before stating that the heavy booster falls faster than the Falcon 9. You want to be talking about air resistance and angle of atmospheric re-entry, not weight. Granted, since it is a monster they probably don't want to lean it too much to make it act more like a "wing."

Paint? No, paint would not last a tenth of a second during firing. The black Raptor 3 is a different material. Perhaps only slightly different - anodized maybe. Though it could be a different alloy. As to why black? Not necessary for short-duration missions. But if you want engines to work reliably over the course of months, on demand, you want to avoid extreme cold temperatures that could warp or embrittle components. Black absorbs sunlight. A combination of temperature sensors and maneuvering will keep the engines in a nominal temperature range all the way to Mars and back, or in long-duration moon orbits.

It was supposed to fire three of the engines to slow down before it landed on the water. There was something that ignited the leftover fuel after it landed. That has to be worked on.

Doesn't look like slowing down was an issue. They might think of doing one to protect the nozzles. I'm guessing they are becoming deformed because they are heating up during decent without pressure on the inside to prevent them from becoming deformed.
