Building Starbase MEGA BAY 2 (9 months in 10 minutes) 

you're not alone!

The first time I watched I did the same. -kmr

same

Me not even the building - the part construction 😂

Honest mistake, as the building to watch didn't exist at the beginning of the vid 😅- Das

Something that really surprised me was just how hard working with 70,000+ images was. File operations just aren't designed to work well with such quantities so it's soooo slow. After I got those sorted everything felt comparatively easy lol!

@@thomashayden804 At least you learnt something new, handling this amount of data! Great work, mate!

@@thomashayden804Crazy respect for your being able to juggle that much content. Don't take personal my criticism about mixing in the vehicle movements. I'm just some rando on the internet, after all. 🙂 Cheers.

@@thomashayden804I can’t fathom how much work that was. I imagine building the Mega Bay was easier than documenting it this way!!! Beautifully done. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😮😮😮

Yeah right? It's crazy how they built this bay in 10 minutes!

haha yeah, depends if they had static cameras for that long

@@bobthegreat297 doesn't have to be the same camera, the same angle... - just, timelapse of progress

Not sure I could bring myself to walk across that, as much as I trust the SpaceX engineering teams!

What exactly did you think we meant by "build timelapse" and "9 months in 10 minutes"? - Das

I started that way and then had to restart the video when I realized I was focused on the wrong thing lol

@@DebraJean196 I was already practically done already so I didn’t feel like watching it again lol

Post something more interesting to justify your first lol

I think you are the only one :/

The alternative was to skip huge sections where there wasn't much visually happening with MB2, which broke up the flow even more and made ot rather boring. We.went through quite a few versions of the vid before we found the best balance. We also removed most nights, because 270 flashes between dark and light was really not fun to watch at high speed.

@@NASASpaceflight Obviously, editorial discretion is completely up to y'all ... but my counter is viewers can never be bored by the content you leave on the cutting room floor. If a given stretch of footage isn't visually interesting (because nothing was visibly progressing with the MegaBay) and isn't essential to telling the story, there's no harm in leaving it out. To me, the vehicles randomly moving around aren't essential to the story of how MegaBay 2 was assembled ... yet the footage is undeniably amazing it its own way (check out all these rockets as big as buildings, yo!) ... part of a uniquely different story that 'just happened' to be caught in the same time-lapse. Undoubtedly, teams will someday sort through //all// of NSF's footage to tell the "definitive" stories of these first steps humanity took (alongside a public highway, no less) to build the first infrastructure and systems enabling earth life to become multi-planetary ... but how lucky have we all been to see it unfold in real time thanks to your efforts? Thanks to you lot, I know StarBase better than my own hometown ... and I've never been within 1,500 miles of the place. It is a shame that so much of the major assembly took place at night, but I accept your reason for omitting it. In most all cases, strobing video no es bueno.

Yeah, the strobing effect was tough to work around. You'd think it'd be cool like a scene from "The Time Machine" but... definitely not. 😅 - Das

@@NASASpaceflight 😀

So far, a significantlt higher number of folks are posting that they like the music vs dislike it. It's ok that it's not for you, but a lot of folks don't agree. - Das

@@NASASpaceflightI love the music myself. Much prefer it over the metal stuff you were playing on live streams when commentators were taking a break. I don’t need obnoxious metal music at 2AM central time while killing time waiting for a launch delay to end. Keep it peaceful please! And Hi Das, love your “on scene” stuff at different camera setup locations!

Thanks,, I have a lot of fun! - Das!
