AMBIENT AUDIO ENJOYERS: In the video toolbar/controls, click the gear, click "Audio Track", and select "English (United States)". You should get the ambient-only audio with no commentary. To go back to commentary, choose "English (original)". Experimental idea... Let us know how it works! - Das
Wow this is awesome. Great solution. As previously mentioned, I like both the ambient only audio and commentary versions. Now I get to watch these videos twice. Thanks Das.
Thumbs up for adding commentary on these updates - I know Das wasn't always sure how to fill the air, but he pointed out many things I would not have noticed, and he was entertaining!
I've been watching since there was nothing but a couple of steel pipes sticking out of the ground which now support the OLM. Still amazing how far Star Base has come in such a short period of time. Star Hopper a big part of the catalyst for going forward! Congratulations to the Space X community of people. Well done!
Again Das, an amazing update. Keep up the amazing work. As well as many thanks to the whole NSF team to keep the updates and streams coming. You all are truely amazing. Thanks.
Scheuerle Fahrzeugfabrik, now known as TII SCHEUERLE, developed the Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) in 1983. The SPMT is a heavy-transport technology that has become a global standard. The SPMT's technical basis includes: Hydraulically supported oscillating axle: Invented by Willy Scheuerle in 1956 Electronic multidirectional steering: Invented by Willy Scheuerle in 1972 The SPMT's modular design allows it to be combined into different transport units of any size. Each module can be configured with 3, 4, 5, or 6 axle lines, and can have its own drive and control system. The SPMT's load capacity depends on the version, but can reach up to 60 tons per axle line. The SPMT is used to transport a variety of goods, including luxury yachts, industrial plants, mining vehicle components, offshore wind turbines, hotels, and cultural assets. In 2022, Mammoet and Scheuerle developed and employed the world's first electric SPMT. 😊
The whipping sound of a cable is what Star Wars used for a blaster sound (after much alteration). Godzilla's roar (from the original film) was a circular saw on sheet metal.
Best coverage Ive seen so far, been watching from very early StarHopper test days and NSF doing a great job, but if you can replicate this coverage with voice over its entertaining
Hey Das, you were talking about SPMTs. I worked in the electric utility industry my entire career, and I saw SPMTs being used to move very large electrical transformers. It was amazing how they could get around tight turns going into substations. BTW, I love your commentary.
The entire system, pad rocket and all is a giant WIP. Expect modifications and changes in each version for a while yet. The point of the pathfinders it to learn.
@@wendyhood1006 I actually been watching the development of Star Ship since they where briefly building rings in Florida back in 2019. Then out of the blue Boca Chica was announced as the new home for Star Ship development. Then came Star Hopper and I knew this was going to happen
Aha, so there is an area to fly a drone near Starbase not covered by the TFR. More drone video, more better. Thank you Das and NSF for the latest daily.
More WSBR from from DAS at dawn. It’s dawn somewhere in the world. Crush Newton’s? WATER TOWERS CAN RIDE!!! Again thanks for or the extra the work for the voiceover video. Hopper museum is go
Starhopper as a camera, links and observation platform, given how thick the steel was that it's made from (IIRC, 12mm), it's like having a Abrahms Tank protecting the gear.
Best way to learn how to use those lifts is to just press every button a few times to find out what it does while you are still close to the ground and then you are good to go lol
The drone shots are amazing! Would it be possible to take drone footage around the launch site? It could provide beautiful aerial views beyond the flyovers, and you could do it more often and at key moments.📸
I would guess that the chopsticks were originally designed for the stresses of a proper catch with some margin. But now they are super-reinforcing them because they've realized that the first few catches could be brutal. They've got a huge amount of time, effort, and money invested in that particular stage 0 that isn't worth losing just to try and catch one stage 1.
You know I’ve been slacking keeping up with SpaceX. However, this was the first post I’ve see in a month or so they better keep my boi safe!!! (My profile pic)
I'm just waiting for the KSP references from Das. An ode to those diehard spaceflight fans. Also, Das, what is the crush force (in Newton's) on those steel Newton's? 😂
Now that the "Newtons" are placed, they make a single unit. Call it what it is. A bumper. Each arm now has a bumper. They are even shiny, like a bumper is supposed to be.
If NSF put up a radio station I’d be all in. Would be happy to help build a tower, set up the transmitter, and deal with all that fun FCC stuff given that’s my specialty, however towers are incredibly expensive and FM radio is slowly dying so it probably wouldn’t be a great investment nowadays. Pretty sad to see the slow demise of traditional radio. Also side note, those outlets in the manlifts almost NEVER work. Seems to be a very common occurrence unless the lift is brand new. Best to run an extension cable.
If they recently graded (especially raised) that land just before the 10' mark, it's probably a good idea to let that settle as long as they can before building anything on it to let it settle naturally.
Anybody knows who's ever used the lifts There's some basic connections usually electrical on all of them.And if you're doing specialized work, you'll have hydraulic hoses.Air hoses high voltage.Low voltage Water lines fluid lines signal wires.Communication lines pretty much anything you can imagine If you're doing specialized work where you need a variety of items it's a lot better to have it attached to the lifting mechanism, then try to support the weight of those lines hanging down from the basket. We once tried to extend a piece of polytubing up a boom lift from a keg, but we could never get enough pressure. All it was was drippy foam when I hit the top. We couldn't even get it to effectively Feed the fourth floor at the third floor was barely trickling out
Appreciate the insight! A lot of.people don't realize that the mass of a dangling hose doesn't magically levitate, its got to support it's own weight. See: riser cables. Same with pumping a fluid up multiple stories of height... you've got to support the mass of all the fluid in the hose. Cheers!
At ¬10:38 there was something interesting it appeared they ware sticking load cells to the underside of the main left side connection plate, the right side appeared to be covered by thermal insulation all ready.
I find it hard to believe those things are cushioning pads. You could make the case the I beams (the one with the dampeners / shock absorbers) has sharp edges, so you need those pads. But then not the whole length of the beams if we consider the precision of the booster steering during landing. New chop sticks are therefore shorter.
they did not place hopper straight it was on a lean when they left it and fenced hopper off i reckon a entrance somewhere they can drive under with cars or at that new fancy entrance to the factory for people to walk under would be awesome

Works well! Love this feature thanks
This is great!
It works! Thank you, it's so cool that you listened to the opinion, even if it was in the minority. You are doing an amazing work!

Oh, I could fill the entire video easily, just trying to give yall some time to breathe. 😅 - Das
@@NASASpaceflight Haha! Anyway, I appreciate it - keep doing it when you have time.
NOOOOO Starhopper deserves a higher level of respect! Don't just put him in an old age home!
Rumors were they were going put it INTO the new office building. I think this is better, so it's still visible.

I'll never forget seeing starhopper fly for the first time ! And hearing somebody yelling the water tower fly's ! Not %100 but sounded like tim dodd !
It was Tim! The audio is featured in our intro montage for livestreams. - Das
Thanks Das and NSF team, great update. Jack's got friends if Starhopper is in danger.
I
Ha ha I laughed at chaining Jack to Star Hopper 😂😂
I love this format! Simple commentary over the daily worksite updates... *chef's kiss*
Thanks DAS, for the commentary!. And for the Sunrise Mary, and Jack picks!
Thank you to Das and the entire NSF crew.
You are appreciated.
Peaceful Skies
Again Das, an amazing update. Keep up the amazing work. As well as many thanks to the whole NSF team to keep the updates and streams coming. You all are truely amazing. Thanks.
These are so much better with Das. Thanks, man!
great job DOS. Thank youth both you and the NASASpaceflight team.
Thanks again John(DAS) great commentary!!!!
Another great example of the Das touch!
Thanks Sam! Good to hear from you! - Das
I think it's cool having both options of just audio and DOS as choice.

thank you for fixing the ambient track!!! so nice to have that option
sunbelt rental has a safety and operation training course that you must take before renting one. I'm sure you could work something out with them.

Appreciate it! - Das
Those slap absorbers look clean
Starship Snugglers?
Booster Blankets?
Booster Boop-ers?
i like steel newtons.
or maybe rubber newtons
Love your commentary Duss, great putting technical things into layman's language, cant wait for the next one👍
Appreciate it! - Das
@@NASASpaceflight Apologies for getting your name wrong - Das
No worries, you learned it by listening to commentary. Zero complaints there, thanks for watching! - D
I love that sound of the cables...that's the wildest thing I remember from visiting starbase a couple years ago...That and seeing 24 on Pad A... :(
Good Morning Boca Chica!! ☀️☀️☕️ Great Video, 💙 GO NSF, , GO SpaceX!! 💙🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
I missed Das's voice. It's good to hear him. Dwl at chain Jack to it 😂😂
Dos and NSF,y'all rock! Peace
Excellent update, Das. More like this, please.
All this frantic repair work on the chopsticks is a sign of redesign and upgrade of the system.
The entire system, pad rocket and all is a giant WIP. Expect modifications and changes in each version for a while yet. The point of the pathfinders it to learn.
I love Starbase Radio
I'm actually coming around to the live commentary. I appreciate that you do it live as you are watching it and I find it funny.
Agreed 100%!
Huge piece of space history, I remember watching her fly
Same here good old Tank Watching Days 😊
@@wendyhood1006 I actually been watching the development of Star Ship since they where briefly building rings in Florida back in 2019. Then out of the blue Boca Chica was announced as the new home for Star Ship development.

That intro was absolutely sick

Too far to show the production site or the launch site.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 Thank you for sharing that information . It looks like the only arial views of Starbase will be from the flyovers.
Thanks Das for the update!!!
Love these narrated updates. Thank you so much for doing them!
I dig the narrative/commentary. 😊
Sad to see 'hoppy' leaving the launch site, also there are a ton of bots here lol
Commentary Aprooved
I would watch Das go through lift training
good fun watching today thanks Das and the NSF team
I appreciate the narration. Good job.
More WSBR from from DAS at dawn. It’s dawn somewhere in the world. Crush Newton’s? WATER TOWERS CAN RIDE!!! Again thanks for or the extra the work for the voiceover video. Hopper museum is go
Man, nobody said anything about all of the hammered stainless steel on star hopper it just got pummeled with the last few launches amazing
KSBU radio lol
Starhopper as a camera, links and observation platform, given how thick the steel was that it's made from (IIRC, 12mm), it's like having a Abrahms Tank protecting the gear.
As always a great update on what’s happening at Boca Chica. Thanks

My work has electric, diesel and propane cherry pickers plus 3 different brands and different years, so yea each one is an experiment.
Great job das
Crane Video should go well.
0:50 - 8crane arms in one pick. i Think there's 13 Crane & Lifts -in one place- photo somewhere
The drone shots are amazing! Would it be possible to take drone footage around the launch site? It could provide beautiful aerial views beyond the flyovers, and you could do it more often and at key moments.📸
They built a giant R2D2! I love it!
One that can FLY
loving the narrations
WDAS Boca Chica Radio
The cables are singing. Like a violin.
Love the narration!
Starbase Radio. That would be awesome.
An RSS feed to audio only versions might have a smaller audience, but I would love it.
Nice that SPMTs got some love. I also think they are amazing and an unsung (until this vid) hero of Starbase. And they don’t cost $2.7B and counting.
I would guess that the chopsticks were originally designed for the stresses of a proper catch with some margin. But now they are super-reinforcing them because they've realized that the first few catches could be brutal. They've got a huge amount of time, effort, and money invested in that particular stage 0 that isn't worth losing just to try and catch one stage 1.
DAS Capital!
Goldhofer out of Memmingen Germany was the original designer of those modular transports many many years ago..
If they're ever tempted to scrap it, they should hold an auction instead. It's not only an historic vehicle, but highly distinctive from the others.
was watching the stream, poor jack was getting murdered by mosquitoes
You know I’ve been slacking keeping up with SpaceX. However, this was the first post I’ve see in a month or so they better keep my boi safe!!! (My profile pic)
I’m starting to like the adhoc narration “stickery reinforcement” I think is what I just heard😊
I'm just waiting for the KSP references from Das. An ode to those diehard spaceflight fans.
Also, Das, what is the crush force (in Newton's) on those steel Newton's? 😂
Steel Newtons! yes!

ULA's transporter was built in the '80s to carry the space shuttle around Vandenberg, when they planned to launch it from the est coast.
👍 Are you sure that was rain during that move or bugs? The guys on the live feed were going on about the amount of bugs swarming those lights.
If they recently graded (especially raised) that land just before the 10' mark, it's probably a good idea to let that settle as long as they can before building anything on it to let it settle naturally.
Das you have been talking about making a video about the lift for at least a year.
PLEASE DO IT!
It's true 😅 - Das
@@NASASpaceflight First time on a livestream when you were talking about poor yucca trees after a superheavy blowdryer breeze.
That's been a good while! - Das
really enjoying this new format
NASASpaceflight, Your content is fire, let's collab, bro!
total awesomeness!
Love this show!
Anybody knows who's ever used the lifts There's some basic connections usually electrical on all of them.And if you're doing specialized work, you'll have hydraulic hoses.Air hoses high voltage.Low voltage Water lines fluid lines signal wires.Communication lines pretty much anything you can imagine

Keep em coming
Definitely appreciate the narration. Great for audio only when driving 👍
At ¬10:38 there was something interesting it appeared they ware sticking load cells to the underside of the main left side connection plate, the right side appeared to be covered by thermal insulation all ready.
The cable sound is similar to the "ping" on Starliner.
The stands under hopper are called elephant stools.
They need to add either a HAL 9000 eye or an R2D2 eye to starhopper
Love these activity summaries. A date/time stamp on each segment would add additional context.
Timestamps would be good...the inane commentary I could get from my 10 year old nephew? That I could do without
Liebherr and Scheuerle (SPMTs) come from the same little area in Germany called Swabia. Maybe there‘s something in the water….
Bye bye Starhopper. You will be missed 😢
Yes i would like crash course about how many lifts are in base and what height tey reach?
Thanks guys…appreciate this narration!
I so prefer the narrated version of these updates
I hope Hoppy doesn’t get scrapped.

3:40 Tom clancy's: wildlands reference 😂
You have to wonder what all the extra weight is going to do to the cable that's holding all of that up
I missed something. Which cable holding what weight?
I was actually thinking the same thing the other day
@@imaginary_friend7300 that whole chopstick apparatus is being held up buy a single cable that's pretty amazing
How about MyZilla Pillows?
