Today we are talking about SpaceX Starship being delivered to the launch pad. Starship's progress is amazing and we are soon going to be seeing plenty of exciting tests going on. On top of that, we’re also talking about the amazing X-37B that SpaceX launched in 2017. What is exciting about that you ask? Well, this secret little military test vessel has been in orbit for all this time and this week.... it has returned. So yes, lots to talk and explore today.

SpaceX Starship Intel Drop From COO Gwynn Shotwell | SpaceX in the News Episode 60. Today we take a deep dive into Gwynne Shotwell's recent comments concerning both Starship and Starlink, and investigate the latest Crew Dragon news.
Today I’m going to cover over a bunch of new information dropped this week. The SpaceX Starship Updates keep coming and the Mars Plan is developing with new information from the Mars Society Convention 2019 dropping this week. Gwen Shotwell attended the International Astronautical Congress this week also with some interesting new information. Firstly we are talking about SpaceX’s Starship on Mars and what plans are coming together to create the first mission. There was a fantastic talk by Paul Wooster at the 2019 International Mars Society Convention in Los Angeles last weekend. Paul is the Principal Mars Development Engineer at SpaceX so we’ll cover over some interesting information shared there. Along with this, we’re also going to cover some exciting new updates on Starlink and Starship development including some great information discussed by Gwen Shotwell at the IAC2019 event.
SpaceX's Starlink division is on track to offer satellite-broadband service in the United States in mid-2020, the company’s president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell said Oct. 22. Getting there will require the company to launch six to eight batches of satellites, Shotwell told reporters during a media roundtable. SpaceX also has to finish the design and engineering of the user terminals, which is not a minor challenge, Shotwell acknowledged. SpaceX’s proposed Starlink constellation of thousands of satellites, which are designed to orbit at low altitudes above the Earth and beam internet coverage to the surface below. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted two tweets that show he's testing the broadband service. Elon Musk has a Starlink terminal at his house and he used it to send a tweet early on Oct. 22. ”Sending this tweet through space via Starlink satellite,” Elon Musk tweeted to his 29 million followers. Two minutes later, Musk sent a follow-up tweet that said, "Whoa, it worked!!" In this video Engineering Today will discuss SpaceX’s plan to provide internet coverage with Starlink constellation as soon as mid-2020. Let’s get started.

SpaceX, led by tech billionaire Elon Musk seems to be leading the way for humanity, when it comes to space travel. Founded in 2002, space X started off as a small ambitious space company. Today it is the leader in space technology.
Speaking at a quick series of interviews with commercial space companies at this year’s annual International Astronautical Congress, SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell shed a little more light on her company’s current thinking with regards to the mission timelines for its forthcoming Starship spacefaring vehicle. Starship, currently in parallel development at SpaceX’s South Texas and Florida facilities, is intended to be an all-purpose successor to, and replacement for, both Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, with a higher payload capacity and the ability to reach the Moon and eventually Mars.
SpaceX continues to make progress towards launching crews into orbit, but several critical tests remain before those plans can come to fruition. The company is developing the Crew Dragon spacecraft to transport crews to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. SpaceX has posted a video showing the static fire test of a pod of Crew Dragon SuperDraco abort thrusters, indicating that the complex system has been successfully redesigned and upgraded to fix the faults that caused a Dragon capsule to explode in April 2019. The capsule, known as SpaceX Crew Dragon, is SpaceX’s spacecraft to carry as many as seven people to the International Space Station and more. In this video Engineering Today will discuss SpaceX's next Crew Dragon test which could happen next week. SpaceX preps upgraded Crew Dragon for the static-fire test. Why this test is a critical milestone for SpaceX after April explosion? Let’s get into details.
All the space news you need, happening in October. Several more videos coming this week, next video should be up on Friday, Starship Moon and Mars schedule moved up. Exciting stuff.
