Thank you Sean, Jack and Mary for the amazing coverage. so many things happening in parallel. Great work keeping us all engaged
Great close-ups. Thank you Mary and the operators of the Starbase Live cameras.
Love waking up to starship updates. Thanks NSF team!!!!
I love Bocachicagal's imaging
I'm old enough to remember when the OLM was being built.
Good job teams Space X NASA 🚀
Great video NSF, Thank you!!
Thanks for the updates and close ups NSF team. Much appreciated .
Great work Mary
Great work Mary. I always enjoy your updates
Thanks NSF Team, from Bula an, Phils.
Amazing as always!
Hey NSF! I have watched these videos from the very beginning. I still remember the demo ship all alone in the sand dunes, with a chain link fence.
It is CRAZY how much the weld lines and construction has improved. Mind boggling. Thanks for all you do - you guys ROCK! ❤
I remember the shouts of “Water Tanks Can Fly!”
Further back, I remember the sight of the empty field, undergoing soil stabilization.
15:16 give this man a raise
It’s the same guy that threw the metal balls at the cybertruck
i doubt "throw cinder block onto it if it doesn't separate" is any sort of manual lol
Peter Beck disliked this
@@Holographic_Meatloaf252 Peter Beck is great though
@@Holographic_Meatloaf252 LOL Nice one. Kiwi David
And, just like that, the work at starbase continues
Thanks Mary!
So nice to have that 'daily theme' of Mary back again. I wonder if she will do one of her 'Drive past the whole base and alongside the solar farm' trips again. Haven't seen one for well over a year.
Guess it's been replaced with the Fly-overs. I feel glad that Mary is able to do some filming again. ❤
Toss some flex seal on those tiles and let's go for launch!
This is awesome.
Amazing
This workforce know they are at the tip of the spear.
Used to Launch on Thursday, Today is Thursday..
Wish u All the best Mr.Musk. VRS. from India..
Seems crazy to me that they’re still working off cherry pickers to install the heat shields in the high bay, looks very challenging for such precise work…
Feel the Berm!
Awesome...😎😎😎
Congrats to a million subs!!
Cannot imagine seeing chopsticks trying to catch booster.. Will be amazing moment to experience. Anxiety 100% :D
📈 Off the scale for sure. 😰
Man you guys really went all in on that guy cutting the barrel.
Not enough shout outs to the actual Laborers 🤔🤔👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️☮️♾
Days and nights ❤
I had no idea how huge that thing is.
The guys installing the tiles are very careful with their work. Great to see everyone wants this to succeed
This video is a Rush song... :D
Is the possibility there to produce 'large panels' of heatshielding, for larger areas on starship that aren't instrument'ed'?
How long before we get a Mega Mega Bay installed to house all these completed booster and ships.. an indoor rocket garden!
There has to be a better way to fitting heat-shield tiles on a nose-cone than being precariously perched on a bouncing man-lift.
Tiles could potentially be dropped or maybe not attached with complete precision. I'm assuming the worker is tethered at least.
Given the importance to saving the vehicle during re-entry, I am surprised at this clip. I hope this will be resolved once the star-factory is fully operational.
True. I said something similar about that 3 days ago in previous upload.
This is not the first ship they make. They use any method that works. The simpler the better.
I'm increasingly amazed they don't hit the tiles with the lift more often. Especially with how it sways around up there
@@thomashayden804Yeah, I’m surprised there are no bumpers on the lift.
A "better way"? You have a suggestion?
Where is there a schedule of future liftoffs?
SpaceX is metric, good!👍 look on 7:19 and 7:24, mm is for millimeters
does anyone know why the engine covers are open?
how are the tiles attached to the ship? bolts?
Bolts or glue.
Two ways. The large part are attached to welded studs (fork-like pins with barbs). 3 studs to each tile (the tiles have imbedded steel strips the studs hook on to). They also add a thermal blanket between the steel and the tiles to reduce vibrations and as extra insulation.
The tiles needed on difficult areas like the nose cone are thicker and are glued. No thermal blankets are used blow those, but I think they could have material between the tiles to fill the gaps (not sure about that last bit).
A shame they can not use some of the scraps as cladding on the office or build buildings. Would be kind of cool to have a bit of the past on the buildings.
16:47 white tiles on the nosecone? Or are they to check the fit?
The underside?
Probably a template for the actual tile
@@borntoosoon4867 Last tiles on each row probably need to be custom made/fit to ensure there are no gaps. The white "tiles" looked to be Styrofoam templates that they were custom fitting.
Surprising how many SpaceX workers not wearing hardhats.
Hi 🇨🇵
👋
I’m surprised they don’t use a one piece nose cone cap that’s pre formed ?
Straight lines on the nose?
Take your time but hurry up! 😏
♾️
when launch?
ETA: May
Lets all hope that these flight pair won’t make an mishap investigation
No big deal. Every flight is investigated anyway (by SpaceX).
“Vapes installed”- but why? So they can say there getting lit and vaping at the same time!!!
17:09 tile guy be like "but if the attitude system is broke light flt 3 I have no purpose"
Que hay que hacer para trabajar en SpaceX ? Yo voy gratis.😅
Those welds lookin kinda rough Elon..... 😐
Always wondered why SpaceX hasn't made a rail track running between it's facilities. Would make transport of these massive rockets more convenient.
I have lost count of the comments about this very subject, over the 3 years and 10 months I have followed NSF on You Tube.
Believe me, it's been well researched. The SPMT's (Self Propelled Modular Transporters) are the best thing since sliced bread.
@@David-yo5ws…yeppers… so true… SPMTs rule. They can go (literally) anywhere. A rail system is totally bounded by the rail.
👍👍👍🇮🇳
Walking the ship or booster back and forth wow, try mowing your lawn with it. Just crazy talk.
Glue it well. Last time most of it fell out.
12:30 are they removing the clips?
That makes very little sense, as the glued tiles are the ones causing issues.
That patch was all glued. Certain areas like that doubled up section rely entirely on glue
@@thomashayden804 So, are they switching to clips then?
Or would that not work due to the external stringers?
@@bryanillenberg I'm not sure what makes them not work for this part, but it seems like they're just replacing the adhesive - same as the nosecone. Must have found something during testing or from S28 that they didn't like
The clips are still used on the ring parts of the ship.
obviously it's a climbing wall.
Elon not playin no games. He just get out there and make the damn thing happen.😎
Why don't they do a entry burn for super heavy booster?
They tried that on the last flight, but some kind of technical problem prevented a full relight.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 not the landing burn, the re-entry like falcon 9
@@dennisschrock8556 You did say entry burn so I don't know what else you are referring to?! What else is it about the Falcon 9 you are referring to??
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 nevermind
It's just designed to not have to do one. I think it comes in slightly slower than Falcon 9, but also its structure should be able to handle it better. By avoiding one they get to save on all the fuel it would otherwise take
these bots are out of control lol
👀🐔👀🐔
Why nobody builds launch sites in mountains, like Everest? It would save 30-40% of propellant. Or they could build a structure like 10 km tall with the launch site(s) and then no flame diverters would be needed as well. Also the air temperature at the altitude of 10 km is -50 oC, so less energy needed for cooling propellant.
everyday astronaut has a video on this i believe
Яйца можно отморозить а потом зажарить, пытаясь отогреть болгаркой от табуретки 😅😮😂
@peaceofmind2769. You should have been a comedian writing absurdist humor if you aren't already.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096друг, не обижайся, идея отличная. Русские сегодня даже порожняком не смогли поднять свой А5. Это какой то позор ( по Швондеру из собачьего сердца, Булгакова) трагедия. Я понял это крах. Кажется у них кончился керосин в ракете. Или забыли заправить. Мне вообще пришла мысль, но ее нельзя публиковать.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 -47°с замерзает керосин, потом его только на хлеб можно намазывать и резать ножом как масло для бутербродов. Я из северной страны, построить и запустить ракету, когда на улице -47. Невозможно не при каких обстоятельствах, одну гайку завернуть не получается, металл хрупкий становится, температурные зазоры, ветер, лёд это все создаёт проблемы. Ботинки к железу примерзают. Не позавидуешь строителям на Эвересте.
Is the lack of innovation on the heat tiles something that is addressed later do you think?
If you have a better innovation I am sure SpaceX is happy to listen. The heat shield has to fill many requirements: 1. Manage the heat of reentry at high speeds. 2. Not expand or contract too much (causing cracks). 3. Be very light weight. 4. Be cheap to produce. 5. Be simple to install. 6. Be possible to replace when needed.
There are innovations regarding the materials used in the tiles, the way they are made and much more. The process of R&D has not stopped.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 I get that but they still feel a bit 1970's tech overall, still fragile, still look an effort to attach correctly. There may not be a better solution and we are stuck with tiles for many decades.
Maybe like tiles the size of the ship rings so they have alot of support and take less time to put on? I guess the hard part would be making such a big tile tho@knowledgeisgood9645
@@yujinhikita5611 Yes. Ovens have to be that size to make the tiles. Not practical. Also, tiles that large would crack due to thermal expansion and contraction. Add to that the problem of losing a tile - at once you have all that area exposed. On top of that, installing them would be a nightmare.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 what happened to the method using small pores on the skin to leak liquid to dissipate the heat?
Hey, RUclips ALGO BOYS..... STOP IT, with this construction crap in my autoplay feed..... EFFING annoying!
If you don’t like this channel, and don’t want to watch, then ask youtube to “not recommend this channel” and you will never see it again.
This is something I’ve done with hundreds of channels. Especially the ‘flat-earthers’ and ‘green men found on Mars!’ and ‘God is watching you’ and ‘lizard-men’ and ‘sports’ and ‘hip-hop-rap-rock-music’ channels. My choice. You also have a choice.
