Summary

This episode of ‘Le Journal de la Starbase’ provides a comprehensive update on SpaceX’s Starship development activities at Boca Chica and Cape Canaveral. The host, Quentin, covers recent events including a pause by the ocean, a live test at McGregor, and Elon Musk’s confidence in the Raptor engines. He discusses the upcoming flight of Booster B7, highlighting the challenges of relighting engines in flight, and the progress on the orbital launch mount’s heat shield. The video also details the installation of new hardware, such as a rotating platform and drilling equipment, and the removal of the booster for maintenance. A significant portion is dedicated to answering subscriber questions, including a detailed calculation of the fuel consumption rate for 33 Raptors at full throttle, which is approximately 23 tonnes per second. The episode concludes with a discussion on the potential use of Ship 26 as a mass simulator, which the host dismisses, suggesting it will likely fly. The tone is enthusiastic and technical, aimed at space enthusiasts.
