Just saw this in the “Next Up” sidebar, I had been watching a clip of the big Crane 🏗 Saw it on the cover of this video so watched it and subscribed, I like your stile. Yes the construction 🚧 IS important, it will be doing on, then Pooff, gone, and the rockets will Still be here. Very good to document it all, especially the rarely seen Big Heavy Lift Cranes, very rare to see..!!

I can see it now... There is an ultimate fan of SpaceX named Chuck (aka Stumpy) and once he realizes that this observation deck is being made at high Bay he will turn around and never be able to leave because allow the ultimate view of all of the rockets taking off and such maybe he'll even have his own special room there but of course I'm only kidding
First time I've actually been able to see the high bay crane inside the high bay, and I can read the phone number on its sticker. lol This is how I like my close ups. Cheers man!🍺😁
Love your work, especially the wild life. Love those cranes going up I wonder will they all have jobs or will some go offhire as bigger ones are finished.
Yeah, it's awesome! I was there when they lit it up. I have some pics on my twitter. I have some more photos and video clips of it too that I'll put in a future video.
One man working three stand around ? Why ? BOOMERS ! I'm one but know better . Ran crews of 25 or more but was never standing around . Gave crew morning instructions in a sit down gather and dispersed them to there area and worked on my object of need for that day and walked area to see if what was ask for in days accomplishments were achieved.That was my work day!
14:42 Notice that they have removed the inner support beams and tube column from the Orbital Launch mount? I would have thought they would have waited until after the table had been set and welded.
Terrific work man! Gotta get yourself a signature back ground tune! Or allow some of the audio from the videos to continue while you show some of the pictures. I could watch this all day! 1 hr videos!! :P
Thank you very much! That's a good idea. I could play some of the video audio while showing the pics or come up with some tune. I'll add it to the to do list. Cheers!
@@StarshipGazer Please don't add background music to the main video, it's always extremely annoying; the natural sounds are so much better. By all means add a few seconds of intro and outro music, however background music for any part of the main video will come across as distracting, cheap and tacky and will detract from your excellent footage. BTW, are you able to get any shots of the inside of the mid bay? :)
@@SlartiMarvinbartfast Thank you very much! Yeah, I def agree. I much prefer the natural sounds. I usually can't get an angle to look into the mid bay. I would have to drive back into Boca Chica Village and they've been doing a lot of construction back there. It's mostly all SpaceX property too back there so I can't get out of my car and setup up my tripod.
"Starbase" is presumptuous. So is "Starship". When an ONeil cylinder gets built and sets off out of the Sol system, then we can think stars. At the mo we are setting up to explore our own planetary back yard - and even doing that is quite a task.
Yeah, those are SN15 landing legs. They are designed to crumple to absorb the impact. They are just disposable, temporary legs for use during the early test flights.
@@redmunds1565 I took a bunch of zoomed in pictures of the legs shortly after SN15 landed and you can see that there was a few inches of crumple on some of the legs. But it was indeed a very soft successful landing. The pics are on my twitter feed.
I put the date I filmed it on the title. 5/13/21. I'm not at the point where I can film, edit, upload, and post on the same day yet. I'm just one guy doing everything and 4K video takes a long time to process. I don't have a big team with a massive budget like NSF or Everyday Astronaut. :)
@@StarshipGazer If you go to the RUclips Channel, Linus Tech Tips, several years back they did a video about how they produce their videos since they got the fancy 8k Camera's and one of the things they do to speed up the workflow is they downscale to 1080p to do the video editing then export to 4k, fact is with the RUclips Compression Algorithm it's next to impossible to tell the difference between that and native 4k but makes the editing go faster. Just an idea to speed up your turn around time if you aren't already doing something similar. And to the guy talking about Live Streaming have you seen what it looks like when Lab Padre tries to live stream from his cell phone? Complete ASS because Cell Service is shit, the Robots have bigger antenna's and that shit ain't cheap.
@@DanielRichards644 I will certainly look into that. Thank you very much for the idea. I've watched a lot of LTT, but haven't seen that one yet. Will take a look.
Amazing quality. I love 4k video when it's really sharp. Thank you!

About time we had an alternative to Mary, Boca Chica Gal. She hangs on shots forever, well she is in her 70's.

Nice still & zoomed in shots. Very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work
I am trying soooo hard to make Padre Island our next vacation. Now to convince a wife and 3 kids.
From everyone with construction backgrounds, we thank you 👍 this type of video helps a lot.
Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback! The construction work is very interesting. Cool seeing how they put it all together.
Really great having these images. Many thanks 🚀

Very nice, you're easily on par with NASASpaceFlight and the others!
Great footage!
Wow Amazing Job StarShip Gazer Team, Keep up the good work. The Image quality is extremely good
I think this is awesome - to work next to the ocean, smell and hear it constantly.
Think the only constant noise you'd hear is the reverse alarms on the plant equipment.
First time I've actually been able to see the high bay crane inside the high bay, and I can read the phone number on its sticker. lol This is how I like my close ups. Cheers man!🍺😁
Love the resolution. Thanks
I love those close ups. Thanks very much for sharing this.
Great sound! You'll soon get up to speed. Keep up the good work. I recommend some "Time Lapse" footage too.👍👍
There will be a LOT of crane operators here in Aussie with HARD ON's wishing we were there doing what you are doing.
Thanks! Great shots :)
Jesus christ this is amazing footage man!
Love your work, especially the wild life. Love those cranes going up I wonder will they all have jobs or will some go offhire as bigger ones are finished.
Good work, thank you.
12:56 An angle I haven't seen before! This was fantastic, Gazer!
The way those pieces of spaceflight history are just laying on the ground there. @6.36.
Is Boca Chica any good for 🏄🏻♂️ or too choppy. The wind seems constant. 🇦🇺😎
Have you had the chance to see the new starbase sign? It looks incredible!
Yeah, it's awesome! I was there when they lit it up. I have some pics on my twitter. I have some more photos and video clips of it too that I'll put in a future video.

Another excellent video showing us what we really want to see, thank you!
Thanks Karl! :)
SN 15 just left her shoes sitting in the middle of the floor 6:10
Great video! New subscriber
Thank you very much! I appreciate it! Lots more to come. :)
@17:23 what are those pucks attached to the bottom of the launch table? (Red Bull gives you wiiings!)
Yeah, that's a great question. I was wondering the same thing myself. :)

I agree with Jons. No background music during videos. Was just thinking some ambient construction sounds during the pictures would be nice 🙂
👏
Wonderfull, one more subscribe now!
Man. I wish this came in lego set.
11350 with the power boom - they dont get much bigger...
With that new crane they might as well hoist Starship in to orbit 🤔
"Starbase" is presumptuous. So is "Starship". When an ONeil cylinder gets built and sets off out of the Sol system, then we can think stars. At the mo we are setting up to explore our own planetary back yard - and even doing that is quite a task.
Well, we are all made of stardust and Starship is made from stardust. So it is a technically accurate name. :)
Are those damaged SN15 legs at 6:05??
Yeah, those are SN15 landing legs. They are designed to crumple to absorb the impact. They are just disposable, temporary legs for use during the early test flights.
@@StarshipGazer But how crumpled were they? Superficially they look fine - which would mean SN15 really did have a soft landing.
@@redmunds1565 I took a bunch of zoomed in pictures of the legs shortly after SN15 landed and you can see that there was a few inches of crumple on some of the legs. But it was indeed a very soft successful landing. The pics are on my twitter feed.
show!!!!
What u r showing dated today, all happened two days back! It is like reading y'day news paper! 🙃
I put the date I filmed it on the title. 5/13/21. I'm not at the point where I can film, edit, upload, and post on the same day yet. I'm just one guy doing everything and 4K video takes a long time to process. I don't have a big team with a massive budget like NSF or Everyday Astronaut. :)
There are live streams for that ;)
@@StarshipGazer ok! Don't cry on my shoulder.
