reviewing the more than NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN comments that were submitted which of course takes time and with this new delay many observers are having doubts about ship NUMBER_TOKEN and booster NUMBER_TOKEN being the first orbital stack given that there's now realistically speaking three or four months of more delays before a flight can happen as faa environmental review approval is not permission for spacex to just launch a separate launch license will need to be applied for and acquired by spacex in order for an orbital flight test to happen and with new ships and boosters being pumped out of the assembly line spacex would probably want to opt for a new booster rather than the aging ship NUMBER_TOKEN and booster iv especially given that now even the engines themselves raptor one are soon to be obsolete i'd say these rumors definitely hold some water though if spacex can get a launch approval for march and are able to launch before april then there is still hope for flight NUMBER_TOKEN since these two vehicles are supposedly flight worthy pending remaining tests of course but let's not forget that we've now had two separate inside sources from spacex state that booster NUMBER_TOKEN will only be used for grounds testing and booster NUMBER_TOKEN will be the first to launch despite the fact that elon seems to be maintaining that booster NUMBER_TOKEN and ship NUMBER_TOKEN are still good to go if i were to place bets though i'd say that booster NUMBER_TOKEN is most likely going to be the first booster to actually fly and i'm not sure which ship it'll carry perhaps the ship it carries will be assembled in the new mega bay that's the new wider high bay that's been built at starbase in order to facilitate a more rapid production rate of boosters and ships for the starship program it spent a long time in the breaking ground and laying concrete phase but now that that's all done we've been seeing this thing spring up at a crazy fast rate and i can't imagine it'll be too much longer before it's ready to be put to work but i think that's all i really wanted to say about starship from the past couple of weeks it's of course impossible to talk about everything in my NUMBER_TOKEN-ish minute video format but i think that's all the most interesting stuff that we saw if you think i missed anything though do let me know down in the comments as this is a one-man show and i'm only a human too but if you are enjoying the show so far then do consider leaving a like and a little subscription down below it's always very much appreciated to help keep things running here anyway we had a lot of big news events from the space industry beyond star base over the christmas period let's talk about all that now the biggest launch news of the christmas period and to be honest one of the biggest launches of the year was on the NUMBER_TOKENth of december yes you all know what i'm talking about here this was the launch of the long-awaited james webb space telescope this was developed jointly by nasa the european space agency and the canadian space agency and will succeed the hubble telescope as nasa's flagship astrophysics mission and in many ways it can be considered a spiritual successor to hubble the james webb space telescope's main mirror is six and a half meters or NUMBER_TOKEN feet in diameter which is six times larger than hubble's so large in
