So a few people noticed Jack's scarf.... It's the Starship Tankwall Neck Gaiter (made from an actual photo of a Starship)! shop.nasaspaceflight.com/products/starship-tankwall-neck-gaiter

[@jefferycaples6041]

I noticed it right off, made me think he was endorsing something else

[@caldodge]

@@jefferycaples6041 me too. Good to know it wasn't that.

[@caldodge]

@@1947662 It's not that. It's a product sold by their store.

[@alweber11]

Thanks for the posting and the website to corroborate .

[@Ingens_Scherz]

@@1947662 Me too. Utterly disgusting. And these clowns also seem to think their audience is stupid.

[@Midcon77]

NEVER let them fade out details on Sky Crane - that's an amazing machine! We see them here in Chicagoland a lot too! LET JACK GEEK OUT from time to time LOL!

[@SuperS05]

I've used it before

[@wonderingmind28]

That was both hilarious and great editing. Kept it up over there. You all are doing such great work on the content!

[@kenibarwick]

Thank you, very funny.... NOW TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE SKY CRANE 😂❤

[@bideford7099]

We all just enjoy our "Jack and his antics". Starbase would be boring without his sense of humor. Keep it up Jack!!!

[@jtjames79]

I would like to know more about sky crane.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Thanks Dan!

[@antigravity2206]

به از این باش با دَن !

[@pandrico]

Thanks Dan!

[@RedTideRTS]

First:
The helicopter info piqued my inner nerd.
Second:
I think a video that summarizes the entire Starship program from inception until now would be awesome.

[@ericacidtreat101]

NSF has done a few videos that were like that actually. But of course, they probably only do one per year, so if the video came out 6 months ago, then it's going to be really outdated by now. The pace of work is just crazy!

[@lancekilkenny721]

Vietnam feels intensify.

[@alexisdespland4939]

@@ericacidtreat101 maybe talk to the people who run thevideo picking algorythms for youtube so they ofthen will pick the videos thar explain the history of space-x nasa or an nsf itself for new suscribers.

[@fritzbloedow29]

yes, i did want to hear all about Sky Crane, love that machine, the fade to black hurt...
I've mentioned before, but i wish you had the timestamp in a corner for ever slice of video, this is for the history books, people will go back and analyze this stuff one day.
edit: Thanks Dan!

[@corrinastanley125]

Thanks Dan 😂🍻.
And thanks Jack and the NSF team for another excellent update.

[@David-yo5ws]

Thanks Dan. {S h o v e } 😅

[@trex0113]

i want to hear more about the Skycrane!

[@BrianKelsay]

Yeah, full video of skycrane with lift and placement video. I saw one lift a big A/C unit on top of a high rise in KC in the 70s. It was a really big deal.

[@rsc9520]

Me too !!!

[@kerbalgaming1808]

Thanks Dan! Always love Jacks updates and energy

[@alexlabs4858]

Those sky cranes are wild. Used to work with them stacking towers. Problem is that if you’re sitting at the top of the tower and they fly you up something, as soon as you touch the tag line on the load you ground yourself to the helicopter, which generates a massive amount of static from the blades whipping through the air as it flies. It’s quite a jolt.

[@mikegardner107]

You’ve tried using a lineman’s pole to drag that line over to the building’s steel frame and let it dissipate there?

[@miguelurrutdarkorangefan2750]

That chopper was AWESOME!!

[@rusticthumper5500]

A big shout-out to those spmt's and all the hard work they do. They are the unsung hero's at Space X

[@hkpmedia4940]

As a former flight crew on Sikorsky H-3 I loved hearing about the helicopter

[@CraigCholar]

I, for one, have been subscribed to this channel for years solely for any mentions of Sikorsky Sky Crane helicopters.

[@milehunter227]

What we need is MORE "Sky Crane."

[@DebraJean196]

Sky crane is a seriously cool piece of equipment that I would geek out over too!

[@AKjohndoe]

Great video, thank you Jack for your multi hour recording sacrifice! You're a hero amongst mortals sir!

[@grumpygreg7505]

Always such great content. Jack's delivery, the scripting, editing and everything make this easily my favorite NSF production (they're all good). I loved the humor both with the skycrane and with Dan. BTW, Thanks Dan! P.S. Thanks Chris & the entire crew for such informative stuff.

[@billhamill]

And the humor with Starhopper.

[@ottergod]

Thanks Dan! And a great update from Jack and the rest of the NSF team, as always - this week in particular seemed to have so much to cover.

[@dphuntsman]

Absolutely, would like to see a segment clearly illustrating the differences between the different types of engine tests. Guaranteed you’ll be able to refer back to it for a long time. -Dave Huntsman

[@Bqd23]

I think one of the best updates ever. JACK is amazing and the writers and jack added some humor here and there, and we can not forget Dan. Be excellent to each other. Lol. Awesome update NSF team. You all work so very hard.

[@NickCohn]

Go into as much detail of the Sky Crane as you want 👍😉

[@lakeside67]

Thanks, Dan! Oh, and that sky crane is very cool 😁

[@SteenLarsen]

Hello Dan, nice to meet you!

[@jennysalerno4625]

[@GetAgripp]

[@nine8central]

Well. I did want to hear all about the helicopter 1:57

[@CTCTraining1]

Thx Dan! Best guess for next launch date ... 4th July anyone??

[@kenkahn138]

People ask why there is such a monstrously sized torque gauge in a skycrane,, that's so you can see it while everything is shaking at maximum torque

[@MrKellymcilrath]

Great Starbase Update Jack, Thank you!

[@Sidarathon]

Thanks Dan! 😆

[@nine8central]

3:12 I don’t know why seeing this hardware going for a stroll just cracked me up😂

[@SirDeanosity]

I see what you mean...LOL! I'll give it some of my thought and comment.

[@Lenny_Melzer]

Thanks Dan!
New film suggestion:
Jack and Dan’s excellent adventure! 😎

[@SietzeFliegen]

Thanks Dan! and Jack! Great update video 👍

[@curtiswfranks]

I want a primer on the various test campaigns.
Also, maybe a video of maps which go through what each thing on them is. Having some good introductory, systematic material would be helpful.

[@badrinair]
