As a technical person and engineer, was glad to find this finally going into the detail i crave thats lacking in all the other coverage. Scott Manley being exception but he does not go this deep.
Amazing analytical work, but the trick here is your ability to articulate your thoughts and findings in an understandable way. Keep up the good work team!
I have followed SpaceX for years and thought I was pretty knowledgeable in the field, and then I found your channel. Your videos are hands down the most informative and well thought out videos out there. Keep up the good work, I eagerly await each new installment! Good job, sir!
Many of these channels are good in various respects. Most have people who 'tell' us what is happening and I appreciate that. You, on the other hand inform and teach me what I'm seeing and hearing. So glad I found your channel!! ☺
You are soo right! Sony times have I been able to say "I knew spacex was going to do that" because of this channel! The work they put into these videos is amazing and better yet accurate af!
Zack, you knocked this one outta the park! You've totally earned your CSI moniker, providing this 4-decade Instrumentation/ Industrial Control Systems veteran with the kind of detail that impresses every time! This new N2/H2O system, as you detailed, finally allays my concerns for the damage potential from the full 33 Raptor Test & Lauch on Stage 0 and the flat pad just 20 meters beneath the most vicious fire-breathing monster of all time. I still believe there will be considerable spalling of the pad and probable significant loss of paint and insulation on stage 0, but hopefully leaving it functionally intact. Fantastic job by you and your partners, both credited and behind the scenes.
This is my comfort channel. I watch everything you put out. I don't know much about this high level engineering stuff but i love listening to you explain it all in detail. I can't wait to see the first orbital flight attempt. It's going to be bonkers
This content is phenomenal! The scope and detail goes beyond anything else on the internet. As an original South Padre Tank Watcher from the earliest days I am totally loving this. Keep up the great work..
As appreciative as I am for all the other channels that tell us *what* is happening, listening to you explain the *why* is equally as important and appreciated. Thank you for all the time, effort, and knowledge you put into these episodes.
Thank you and your team for all of your hard work, keen intellects, and ability to communicate in keeping us all informed. I am an electrician, and consider myself to be reasonably well informed, but you knock me over with your abilities and dedication. Please keep it up! (just not at the expense of loved ones:).
Hey everyone, we can say "Thank You" buy buying a "SUPER THANKS" (like only $2 or whatever) just click the "heart", and I honestly couldn't recommend a better channel, keep up the good work guys!
Wow! Great work. Your content is so interesting and well versed. Love your writing and analysis. Clear, informative, good pace. Keep up the good work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When UA-cam first recommended your videos to me, I was thinking "Ugh... another SpaceX Starship UA-cam channel... I already watch a few of these channels and I'm tired of UA-cam recommending more of these. Most of them are incompetent, repetitive, and only partially know what they're talking about." Well, I finally decided to click on one of your videos and give it a go. And wow am I glad I did! The amount of research done and the level of technical detail you provided was mind blowing. In my opinion, you've even outdone the major UA-cam channels I watch on the Starship program. I was so impressed with your knowledge of all this too. It's almost like you're an engineer. Then when you mentioned your background as a mechanical engineer, it all made sense 😊 I too am an engineer hoping to be able to *cough quit my job *cough to make UA-cam videos for a living. I hope it works out for you. You have great potential! I'm excited to binge watch the rest of your videos. Liked and subbed.
This is hands down the most thorough and well discussed video series on starship development available outside of being an employee at spacex. Truly outstanding work
Fascinating to learn what all that OLM plumbing is for! - enjoy the way your investigations are so thorough & technically detailed, but combined with a few jokes too … Keep up the great work - in fact I’m so impressed I’ve become a patron to help with that 👍
Another great episode! (As usual) I am so happy that you go into so much technical detail, as it seems that everyone else that "could" doesn't because, well, I'm guessing "they think" that "we" wouldn't understand. So again THANK YOU AND GREAT JOB! Please don't stop! YOU ARE NEEDED AND SO VERY APPRECIATED! Thanx again!
Man, this channel just snuck up on me outta nowhere!!! A very good find! I think Felix may have been recommending you to me for a while but I never looked into it lol sorry bout that!
Lots of information in this video, really well presented with great descriptions. Obviously a huge amount of research and analysis showing a good understanding of what is actually going on, more than any other channel I have seen, subscribed.
No joke this channel has me appreciating the OLM (Stage Zero) in a whole new way, that is one insanely complicated piece of machinery, plumbing, piping, hydraulics, fluids, etc... But the less of that on the actual rocket, the better, really cool.
I just stumbled upon your discussion and am thrilled to have been so lucky. There is so much that I don't have the background to be aware of here and this was a great eye-opening lecture. Thanks so much for your work !!!!
Your work is outstanding and not equaled by any other YT channel. I think these shorter ~30 minute vids are a great idea. When people are relaxing and enjoying the hobby of following Starship they may not want to steel themselves for too long a video. Even folk serious enough to watch yr videos at all. Btw... Subscribed!
Keep up the work. We want more! Lol I love your passion. The attention to detail is amazing. I can't get enough starship. We're all witnessing history in the making. Thanks for your hard work brotha! :)
Wow, this just blew my mind! You guys did your home work and for that, you are one of the few channels covering the space industry that deserves to earn the money from our subscriptions and monetisation! Keep it up!
As a retired fire investigator, I believe you hit the nail on the head! A Fire and detonation suppression system is clearly needed. The nitrogen bubble which is created would instantly extinguish any methane left burning after a static fire ends. I am glad to see it has been installed and tested. Unfortunately, I still have concerns that 33 Raptors may be too much for the launch mount itself now that we know it is not a deluge system. Can't wait to see it go! Thanks for your insight!
I've watched every SpaceX launch since the beginning. I'm super into the engineering and full scope of the olm system. You have earned my subscription and devotion to your channel. Very impressed. Thank you for sharing your intellect and perspective.
You and your team have an amazing, mind blowing ability and the perseverance (passion) to make sense of what appears to most of us as an impenetrable enigma. It reminds me of the challenges the linguist faced in the movie “Arrival” where she had to suss out the fundamentals of the alien’s language. I'm so psyched to watch the progress of Starship, and your analysis of the all the systems is giving us a front row seat!
This was a short episode? ahah bro you can split this episode into 2-3 episodes and release them every other day! I think this will greatly help the algorithm and get people hooked more!
Congratulations Zac, this is another excellent presentation with good technical explanations, and great video work. It demonstrates the advanced Spacex engineering designwork and construction, and their flexibility/alternative flows.
Watching this episode for the 3-rd time, I completely agree with the idea of Gn2 purging al GOX and GCH4 lines. All the intricate piping/ valves systems and the tests performed show that the N2 is used both in purging and in the newly added air suppression system. What a great and comprehensive work!
Thank you Zach, your videos provide more background information into the workings of Spacex and their ingenuity and determination to resolve issues that will help everybody in the space industry, an industry we truly need.
Okay, so I’m (almost) totally convinced that the OLM will remain intact after a 33 engine static fire. I am blown away by your ability to follow the maze of piping and come up with what’s going where. You might say it takes a twisted mind to do that. Great job. You do engineers and engineering proud. ❤
I admire your work with this deep dive analysis of the OLM systems. It is impressive how much development has gone into the OLM. Looking forward to further videos from your channel.
The number off different effects that SpaceX is having to deal with on that mount is mind-boggling. Thanks for the work teasing out all the possibilities. Looking forward to your full time productions!
It amazes me how you are able to take raw captured imagery and deduce logical uses of such hardware!! I have never been any welder or pipe fitter (well, there was that one time…) but, that was for water distribution for a neighborhood.
Amazing dive into the Fire X system. Thank you for all the clear & informative look at this. It is amazing to see this monster coming to like. With your deep dive it makes each screw bolt & pipe matter. Thank you to you and your amazing team.
This is such helpful technical detail, and so well presented! How did I not know about this channel earlier?? Subscribed- will peruse past videos later when I have time... - ...okay, that was the smoothest segue into an ad read that I've ever seen. And the first time I've actually been tempted to try Brilliant, because of the precise tie-in that you demonstrated right there on screen... I had already guessed that the point was to displace as much oxygen as possible beneath the launch platform. But the detonation suppression thing was new to me!
Honestly. First I was like "what is this goofy video" And then I was like "hmm, information is made more fun in this way. Crazy drawings while getting info is more intresting"
After watching this entire video I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with your engineering knowledge and Video production skill level. As a retired V.P. of Engineering (Refinery, Cryogenic Air Separation Plant as well as Automated Fire and Explosion Suppression expertise) I was glued to the screen. My first question is WHY DOESN'T ELON hire you with impressive stock options.
Lol thank you!!! I don’t think I would work there honestly. It would suck to lose the ability to explain to people all the awesome things happening down there.
@@CSIStarbase My thoughts exactly. We don’t want you under an NDA. Although, with the level of detail you’re revealing here, I’m wondering if a bunch of black suits with an “offer you can’t refuse" might be coming your way soon 😅
Nice work. Thanks. The water spray will absorb a lot of sound energy AND heat energy. During an actual engine fire, the steam generated will displace and mix any combustible gases outward and reduce the chance of secondary detonations.
Wow! I can't believe you were able to break that down so that even I could understand it! You are a very gifted teacher! In an earlier comment, I suggested that you make shorter videos but I want to take that back. I think your forte is doing these deep dives. Thank You!!!!!
Thank you! Glad people like the format. It’s slowly getting better. I’m a lot more comfortable now so I’m starting to figure out the best way of doing different things.
The amount of research that went into this episode is insane!
indeed man
Yeah, this is exceptionally good. Thank you so much.
I agree. The automation and engineering terms are spot on. Kudos to CSI Starbase.
Super job!
As a technical person and engineer, was glad to find this finally going into the detail i crave thats lacking in all the other coverage. Scott Manley being exception but he does not go this deep.

I agree!! 100%👍👍👍
Didn't even know about this UA-cam channel. I plan to watch all of them, and thanks for all your great work.
Wow. You blew my mind man. I've never seen such an incredible level of detailing of the launch mount and more exciting stuff to foresee. Thank you.
You are making some of the best Starbase content out there. Thanks for the great analysis and clear presentation.
You are my Geordi LA Forge ...your updates are brilliantly done, researched throughly and edited...I thanks you for making these...bravo !!!
WoW! Someone’s been doing their homework and explaining it ever so lucidly. Great work, man.
This format is the sweet spot. Please keep up the great work. Thanks Zach!

This content is phenomenal! The scope and detail goes beyond anything else on the internet. As an original South Padre Tank Watcher from the earliest days I am totally loving this. Keep up the great work..
This channel just kinda appeared and is now the best starbase content on yt wth
You have great humor. No click bait. Interesting information. Great, thank you and keep going!
You, Sir, are amazing. You have an unique talent of explaining complex subject matter in a way that informs and entertains. This channel is fantastic.

Fascinating episode. I feel like I'm watching science fiction, the details in this are enough to make me strain my brain. Love it
Amazing video, It's nuts to see how much complexity goes into the OLM. Can't wait for the next video :D
This is my new favorite starship breakdown channel
The explanation for using nitrogen gas instead of compressed air in the firex and detonation system is simply brilliant.
Excellent work, Zak. Simply excellent. Please keep it up!
