Thanks for the narrated flyover review! Although the weekly deep dives are useful, the narrated review is my preference. Thanks for all the work assembling the video and script.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!!!! This is how it should be done no endless talk about things they have no ideas about, just strait FACTS. Keep up the great work and replace the 3 hours of talk with this type of content. Awesome narration Mauricio
Mauricio, I had no idea how good these videos are. This is the first episode I watched and I watched it twice! Lots to absorb since I'd never been exposed to an in-depth video on all of the infrastructure. I look forward to learning a ton going forward. SoCalFreddy
Altough I love the deep dives, I still like to watch the narrated flyover. Both formats capture new things and for comparisons and a second thought the narrated video is the best. Keep up the great work!
Thank you again! Outstanding work. I'm not yet convinced that only 3 manifolds will be used. The diagram proposed, however, does lend itself to water collection instead of it spraying everywhere. I'll be interested to see how pressure regulation will happen so that no place on the plates lacks cooling. Don't want gas ingestion but do want 'warm' water to flow away. Interesting engineering challenge to be sure. Thanks again!
If you notice, they might plan a continuous mono rail gantry inside and outside to allow them to maneuver ships and stacking to go without a crane outside to transfer building to building until final mega inspection and then put on spmt to go to testing or launch area..watch for parts to be found
Wow! I hope that’s their plan! I’m just still trying to figure out how they possibly build space-vacuum ready Starships in a swamp in dust and thunderstorms ☺️
Thank you Mauricio. Great views and observations, as usual. I have to say that Elon Musk and his SpaceX Mars project is akin to the Manhattan Project for it's complexity and amount of effort. The big difference is that Elon's Mars project is for the good good of mankind.
19:46 This method of aerial reconnaissance reminds me of how this was done during World War One. A pilot steering and a photographer holding his camera. Simple but effective.
Thanks Maurico! Great video... and I always think Elon is waaaaay over optimistic in his timelines. He says 2 months, I automatically think 4 months... and in this case 6 months.
I was earlier thinking same approximate thing with those solid plates with radius cuts and one with chamfer. Maybe they are stiffeners? Still unanswered question for me is what supports the water cooled plates, underneath the plates. You need to isolate any vibration to prevent weld cracking on all those elbows feeding the cooling plates. It won't be but a few seconds worth of pounding and I thought I heard Musk say rocket came off OLM too slow but those plates are to absorb the same or more energy than the first launch. I'm wondering if some sort of flame diverter is also in the works based on the wedge looking structures in yesterdays video. Same amount of energy rolling out of those engines and this needs to be a permanent fix.
Surprising to see the large scale production factory here instead of Florida. Once they start making a rocket per day, they will never get permission to fly that many out of Boca Chica.
I like the pipe idea as without suffivcient outflow, i rekon the water in the waffle would flash to steam, which i doubt is good for the structure - you need the basic cooling effect of lots of water flow to cool the plate -- its like fans and airflow accross heatsinks
So much contractions! It’s amazing and stressful (for me) I just want them to test and build rockets… Buildings are fun for civil engineers… not me lol Great job guys
It is very good to see and hear these narratives. I would like to ask for more of them to be done you know just for people like me that can't afford a donation to you at current time this kind of keeps us in the loop of what's going on at star base and I was watching the lab Padre cam when that metal fell in the tower. I thought at first bottle lightning-struck but then again, I was half asleep.
Just a minor request which is happening so far. I'm deaf as the proverbial post so Closed Captioning a major benefit. I'm sure I'm not the only deaf person who is watching this project so keep people with disabilities in mind when editing. All of you that are editing, doing voice-overs keep us in mind.
