SpaceX ramps up efforts to clean up and refit the orbital launch site for Starship's fourth flight. GSE tanks were removed and scrapped and the OLM is getting upgrades and repairs to support the next mission.

A condensed video today due to the latest events being focused on tank scrapping. If you want to watch hours of tank scrapping, nsf.live/starbase has you covered

@HighPeakVideo Месяц назад

We are true Tank Watchers - we watched them being built, watched them being installed, and now watch them being scrapped!

@bcrisp56 Месяц назад

Thanks for the update! I really appreciate all of the work all at NSF does to keep the community updated!

@MickRonald Месяц назад

🎶and another tank gone, and another tank gone, another tank bites the dust🎶

@owensparks5013 Месяц назад

Points at remaining tank : Hey, I'm gonna get you too...

@dawnofclarity Месяц назад

Love the gratuitous use of slo-mo at the start - really gives a feel for the ferocity of what the guys are doing.

@badrinair Месяц назад

thank you Mary, Jack and the NSF team for sharing these updates.

@cipedead0777 Месяц назад

How much time would be lost if StarBase was just one shift. We would be years behind. Thank you Team SpaceX

@suesue9381 Месяц назад

Stay safe for All the workers,be sure safety working ❤❤❤

@suesue9381 Месяц назад

AMEN 🌈🏆👍

@theharbinger2573 Месяц назад

I hope all the workers preparing ship 29 remember to put cover sheets on their TPS reports.

@gigimoore3738 Месяц назад

Yes, I loved the fast paced format. Thanks!

@ToddKortte Месяц назад

They are like time capsules. The look of them remind of the Texas Tank Watchers days!

@fredpryde8555 Месяц назад

that was so awesome thank you

@maineiac1513 Месяц назад

Yeah!!! Love these updates!!!

@corrinastanley125 Месяц назад

Thanks Mary🌷 , Jack , Sean and the NSF team. I love the close-up views.

@elizabethhoeppner8881 Месяц назад

Wow, lots of hard work cutting up the tanks. Great job everyone. 😊

@gregsteele806 Месяц назад

Imagine being the people who had to install all that reinforcement for the last flight. Only to be told they now have to scrap everything.

@proesterchen Месяц назад

Can't wait for v2, which hopefully will get closer to the initial goals in terms of launch cadence.

@iamaduckquack Месяц назад

Starship V2 alongside Tower V2 should be the start of faster cadence. Fingers crossed.

@MrKellymcilrath Месяц назад

Great videos Mary, Jack, Sean, & NSF, Thank you!!!

@user-no6vr4nm4k Месяц назад

Awesome work!!!

@christopherpetersen342 Месяц назад

the amount of scrapping and rework (and work-in-process) is pretty stunning. still seeing 3 shifts up on lifts with safety harnesses this far along seems pretty crazy too. one would think stage 0 (or stage -1) would be farther along by now.

@knowledgeisgood9645 Месяц назад

They only have results from 3 flights to adjust to. It will take many more before they settle on something that works the way they want.

@dissaid Месяц назад

Awesome job guys..😎😎😎

@SveaRikeBall Месяц назад

Nice

@MrX-zz2vk Месяц назад

Wake me up when a Starship or SH Booster gets a rollout to OLM.

@NehemiahVargas-td8kw Месяц назад

0:16 ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 thank you

@timbergdtedt3492 Месяц назад

They sure do demo a lot of things they built not long ago.

@artemkras Месяц назад

Oh the times when we thought future GSE tanks would be just flightless Starships )

@konkam744 Месяц назад

So does that mean we won't be hearing any other "Work continues on the orbital launch mount"?

@ghost307 Месяц назад

How often does a truck filled with scrap leave Starbase? It looks like they're scrapping stuff every week.

@knowledgeisgood9645 Месяц назад

You might even say every day. The cost of R&D.

@JohnSmith-kv1uo Месяц назад

Because the damn base it getting bigger and bigger need room lol tanks are easy to remove and cheap to build

@tomasbenedictomaza Месяц назад

Dios mío con lo que habrá costado fabricar y colocar esos tanque la verdad es que yo siempre pensé que estaban muy cerca de la plataforma orbital en caso de accidente o explosión de una Starship como casi sucedió en el primer vuelo sufriendo daños estructurales en fin perdiendo se aprende que el proyecto siga adelante y vealos pronto el cuarto lanzamiento este es el camino

@ryann6919 Месяц назад

Does anyone know if ALL of the vertical GSE tanks (just the big ones) are being scrapped or will some of them still be used?

@David-yo5ws Месяц назад

The Tanks closest to the OLM are GSE-3 (LOX) GSE-6 (LOX) Water (H2O) Methane (CH4) The Marcus House Team believe the LOX and Water tanks will stay as extra storage. The Tanks closest to the road are GSE-5 (LOX) GSE-1 (LN2) GSE-2 (LN2) GSE-7 (CH4) The CH4 tanks will go. Not sure about the Nitrogen tanks. Keep an eye on the next few days.

@nenadkatic3081 Месяц назад

@saskcanada94 Месяц назад

Why would they scrap a stainless steel tank

@mac_uk5464 Месяц назад

Why have they scrapped the GSE inner tank, they could of used it as water storage for fire system. They will probably need to have some somewhere at buikd site for ship factory & office block?.

@David-yo5ws Месяц назад

Yep, could have re-purposed it and put it next to the Fires Station.

@alancadorette3447 Месяц назад

with those towers gone, whatever was hitting them before is going to fly past and take out something else

@knowledgeisgood9645 Месяц назад

Except for IFT1 the things hitting them are shockwaves. They don't harm much that is not in their way.

@romec3435 Месяц назад

👀🚧🛠️👍

@oldmanstumpie1061 Месяц назад

Noice.

@HarryNicNicholas Месяц назад

i do wish there were a better way to heat shield the craft, that tiling seems enormously labour intensive. spray it on? i dunno.

@knowledgeisgood9645 Месяц назад

They would have if it were possible - it's not. Large shields crack and cause large parts to be unprotected. Small tiles are labour intensive, but it is supposed to be done once (to be reused without too many problems). They also need to be cheap, easy to remove and that they can be mass-produced.

@niri2506 Месяц назад

This is so insane 😅 To think we witnessed all of this being built from nothing and we have long reached the point where even big structures like the tanks or what we once considered the high bay are gone now 😂

@Shivaho Месяц назад

The forever in need of repairs olm!

@knowledgeisgood9645 Месяц назад

It still is part of the research and development. Every time they see a problem they try to fix it. Then new ones are found. Until they no longer can find any.

@VasylRabokucma Месяц назад

😊😊😊 Love UA 2024

@not2busy Месяц назад

Don't call it view of the bays. Call it "Valley of the Bays"

@antonybastin3432 Месяц назад

👍👍👍🇮🇳

@ActualGab Месяц назад

FIIR- oh wait, this isn't 2020 anymore

@mbt2310 Месяц назад

Why dont make a starship out of te heat tille material....

@OlafGodredsson Месяц назад

2:51 anyone else wish they just dropped the tank on the ground to scrap it?

@NOM-X Месяц назад

Do they recycle their own metal?

@ghost307 Месяц назад

I'm sure they do whatever makes the most financial sense. The day it's cheaper to make their own LOX they'll stop buying it.

@vergil-__ Месяц назад

short vid today

@plus1727 Месяц назад

Bye!

@k20Fritz Месяц назад

I had a girl fighting with me that torches were the wrong tool for the job. She wants a multi million dollar tool to cut the tanks instead.

@nenadkatic3081 Месяц назад

Ms t

@qwadratix Месяц назад

Why do they call this thing a 'Starship'? It's pathetic, barely gets off the planet surface.

@donscheid97 Месяц назад

This video made me realize NASA gets the very best no matter the cost, while Elon gets what works. Congress makes a show of talking about the annual budget but doesn't really care about it. How big is the deficit now?
