7:10 Reminds me of the crabs on Christmas Island (Australian Indian Ocean territory). Note, it's a lot closer to the equator than Boca Chica, and IIRC has been investigated as a possible launch site.
What's funny to me is how long Starship takes to roll back from Maseys probably equals 10x the time it takes to get from the launch pad to orbit when it flies😂
time-lapse of Ship30 cat-walkin, pimp-struttin itself down a public street like it's nbd gives that 'what a time to be alive" type beat and I'm here for it
“When I was a kid, I used to look up at the stars, wondering if there was life up there.” “Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction, when Alien life entered our world it was from deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico, the Crab Rifts…”
Roads in North America require massive renewal and widening, as well as massive expansion of underground transportation corridors and underground power stations/underground fuel storage or manufacturing facilities. It is necessary to make the future rapid movement of starships between North American states a reality.
No, those are the engine sections powering the hydraulic drive. I really expected Tesla to modify them to electric for SpaceX but not so far. Electric SPMTs do exist now, hope SpaceX buys a couple.
I didn't know there were telephone polls along the route. I guess the environmental assessment people missed that at the time they were installed. Perhaps it's better to replace with underground conduits.
