Your weekly update videos continue to astound me. It doesn't escape me that someone has to trawl through multiple hours of videos, from multiple cameras & to know (with some certainty) of what's going on & identify each 'discussion worthy' events, write a blurb about it, collate the videos and the blurbs into a script, edit the video, dub the script over the video, preview & post. Just the production levels of these 15 minute weekly updates is (to me) very impressive! 👍👌✌
for the reinforced concrete pour area, my vote is parking lot currently because we didn't see vapor barrier go down, so not a building and we don't see the electrical stub-outs for running power to each spot that would be needed for Tiny Homes or an RV Park.
@avgjoe5969 The level of engineering marvels going on over there is crazy. Spacex is so lightning fast that they blow everything out of the water. SLS was what nearly 30 billion for a single rocket? Has less payload? Expandable stages? Runs on a much more problematic fuel, hydrogen? Nearly 15 years for the first one? Then you look at starship... Failed first flight, so one could argue that sls was more successful... However, for what 2 billionish? They built prototypes They launched and landed a second stage They brought engine production to whole new levels They built an entire product facility (which were tents to be fair) They built the tower/mount They launched 3 times, even if it didn't do everything, still wildly successful tests. All this in that a decade... Spacex for the win, NASA for the bureaucratic red tape.
Concise status report as usual, professionally delivered. Takes me back to the great days of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. Serious business discussed seriously. Thank you 👍👍🚀🚀
A lot of this isn't rocket science, but it's impressive how much engineering and fabrication is advancing SpaceX toward the goal of Mars colonization. The pace of the building is impressive. It reminds me of when people in the US dared to do great things. The world is a meeker place now, but SpaceX is bucking the trend.
How can anything resist that blow torch! What a monster! The shockwaves alone are a killer! I dream to see a multistage version with this booster as a first stage. Easy peasy to the Moon!
I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR LAB PADRE VIDEOS. THEY ARE MY “GO-TO” FOR SPACEX ACTION, ESPECIALLY BOCA CHICA CONSTRUCTION. THE PACE IS JUST RIGHT AND THE LINGUISTICS ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR. IF I NEED TO STOP OR BACKUP TO LET MY BRAIN SPOOL, THATS EASY ENOUGH. KEEP ‘EM COMING PLEASE.
Good news about stage 0, it has much less weight restrictions than the rocket itself... Good to actually see the damage so they know where additional protection is needed.
Did you see the whole rocket wobble before liftoff of the Soyuz vehicle? The rusty towers are bad enough but a stack like that wagging around is not my ride. Thanks, Lab.
SpaceX may need two super heavy quick disconnects. One to disconnect and vault itself like 5 seconds BEFORE they start the engines, and a smaller quicker super heavy disconnect to disconnect and hide shortly AFTER starting the super heavy engines.
@@LabPadre It would be a big project, but they could elevate the platform like in Florida. For rapid reusability, it seems like the current design allows for too much potential damage to surrounding infrastructure.
While I enjoy these weekly updates, you shouldn't deceive with the video screen capture making it sound like the damage is insurmountable. It's like click bait videos.
I don’t think it’s bad at all. The screen capture highlights some of the damage and the title simply says stage zero is damaged. Not even close to clickbait imo. People should understand that channels that have more than a few thousand subscribers are businesses. They do need to market their product to some extent.
I'm sure I saw somewhere it was championed that concrete was the most significant invention of modern civilisation, looking at construction works like this it's hard to disagree.
They've got to do one heck of a lot better than that. Those are like, literally on the order of ~10,000 MPH winds generated by those 33 Raptor engines, and pummeling Stage 0. There can be absolutely no exposed hoses, wires or lines of any type on the OLM, or they will be destroyed.
I don´t get it. Untill now, all 33 raptor rockets was ignited at same time during the launch of all 3 IFT. Why SpaceX do not fix it for the 3 IFT? It will be fix to the 4th???
It's fascinating to see how science fact can overtake the perceptions that science fiction once had: Remember how movies and tv portrayed rockets landing? All slow and steady until touchdown? Reality is that they streak earthward at an incredible pace and then at the very final few hundred meters or so, fire their engines and slow rapidly to a "gentle" touchdown. Of course, that's with no living beings on board. Wonder if it will change when people are on board...
For booster don't change, but for ship, probably bigger header tanks and much slower approach. But we will see. We are long time before first attempt of ship catching. It will require much, much more precise models for re-entry. I don't expect any attempt at least for a year and more. For booster I am confident that first catch we will see when second tower becomes online, so probably end of the year
Rocket scientists were talking about what we call "suicide burns" in 1950 and earlier, as the most propellant-efficient way to land. They were also saying that propulsive landings were technically difficult to do, would require automated systems, and could not be controlled by a human pilot.
❤❤❤❤ I could listen to Elon talk about work all day long if I was his by his side I would never b bored he could talk to me for ever about anything I love his voice ❤
New thumbnail? Nice! I agree with the other guy, previous one was approaching clickbait territory. Not that you should care, but from my perspective it's always sad to see channels going that direction.
Emergency!!! Baffles will not work to prevent the slushing problem, because the tanks of the starship system are too large. That is the only reason why the starship will explode every time. The solution: The tanks of Starship and Superheavy need 2 disk valves, expanding the diameter of each tank. One of the disks, the one on top, rotates above the contiguous disk to close the overlaping holes on the surface of the disks; to reduce the Size of the tank by dividing it, before any rotation or acceleration of the rocket. This will prevent slushings and protect the plumbing, if located 10% above the bottom section of each tank. Large telescopic pistons can be attached below the bottom of disk valves to control the fuel pressure as the piston expands into the fuel tank. I have built a model that works perfectly. The second disk valve can be located 10% below the front of the tank, to also protect the front of the tanks from the slushing forces. The gridfins are too flat and too small to be effective enough and will not be able to control the booster. Why is Elon not using four pins instead of three to secure each heat shield tyle? Four anchor points provide far more stability to secure a tyle, not three.What is more important than securing the heat shield? Four anchor points would eliminate the problems of tyles falling off the ship every time there is an engine ignition. Please get this message to Elon. Thank you. Also, Spacex needs 3 actuators to move the payload bay doors correctly, not two. They have only two now, one at each end of the payload bay. They need one at the center position. Three will guarantee that there will always be enough support to open and close the doors, even if one of the three fails. I know the spacex engineers can see these problems. It is like ignoring the elephant in the room. Musk needs to hire people who can be trusted and who will not continue accepting bribes from Jeff Bozo to sabotage spacex.
I love your reasoning. "They need 3 actuators because it's better than 2" "4 pins are better than 3". And the genius idea of dividing fuel tanks (just imagine the weight penalty) and modifying the grid fins - I'm sure you did CFD analysis of all that stuff.
The problem is the volume to control cavitation during launch vibrations. Most people have no idea why we have EFI on cars. They think it is for fuel economy, but they have no idea of the fuel cavitation in the fuel bowls that caused so many problems with the carburetor. The carb was the best design for low maintenance and easy to work on, but fuel cavitation would pop holes in the fuel float. All it took was a pothole to cause a car to start running rich. A solution for the tanks would be full length dividers that would appear to be inner tanks about 4" in diameter. The manifold at the bottom would have to limit the cross-section of the fuel area to reduce air bubbles from forming. The added resistance may become a problem, as the added weight of the inner tanks. Fuel cavitation is a major issue with upscaling rockets! Fact is, most people aren't good engineers, even though many of them have a college degree in engineering. They never learned to get their hands dirty and relate directly to the problem. People want to sit in a clean room and dictate as if they are a god.

The pacing of these videos, and the language and vocabulary range of the construction activity is impeccable; please continue!
Nice video straight to the point cover all the work no endless talking.👍

He posted before he watched it according to the time stamp but after watching it I agree.
The pace of construction and expansion of the facilities is truly amazing. 🤯
Great video footage Chief & Lab Padre, Thank you!!!

Thanks for the ongoing updates Lewis and team. I'm amazed how you can keep up with all that's happening with SpaceX.
Our pleasure!
The best coverage of these sites on the internet. Thank you.
Glad you think so!
Thak you...I don't know about anyone else..but I prefer the type of update. Thanks again
Insane that not much more than what 6 years?

That new pad at the old solar farm: no plumbing or conduit in the pad, so I'd expect a large warehouse.
Thanks for the updates!
You bet!
Star 🌟 factory rocks. We look forward to seeing you soon K 💞🗽🫂💋🤴🤗🔱😇🏦💲
🎉NASA and 🌟Labs make n cook up the best shit. Y'all rock hard
Thanks Padre
Great update as usual! Thank you for everything.
Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the updates
Thanks as always.
Very nicely done. Great images.
Many thanks!
Best weekly narrated review by far!! thx LAB
Wow, thanks!

PARKING SPACES FOR THE OFFICE WORKERS AND NICE LITTLE STUDIO APARTMENTS ❤❤
Thanks Lewis.
You bet!
The QD arm probability could use a good dose of water or an inhert gas to help keep it cool !
Great segment. Gee but things happen quickly at SpaceX.
Thanks!
Thank you too!
Interesting pix ; Appears the "damage" you described is all cosmetic and easily/readily 'fixed' !
Let's hope so!
With so many boosters at flight 19, what are procedures for certifying for more than 20 flights? Is FAA part of the process? TIA
A new tank farm EVERY launch!
😄
QUESTION.
does anyone know how long it takes a ship/booster, to get from the highbay to the launch site?? how fast do those things move??
About an hour.
This power is including my country 🇪🇹?
when does the comment section think ift4?
my guess: star wars day
I wonder if they'll ever pursue a flame divert trench? That would solve a lot of problems.
I don't think the ground can accommodate. The water table is very shallow.
@@LabPadre ok, thanks for the reply.
@@LabPadre It would be a big project, but they could elevate the platform like in Florida. For rapid reusability, it seems like the current design allows for too much potential damage to surrounding infrastructure.
But I doubt they could get approval to extend anything beyond their current boundary.
Now add a payload and watch how much more thrust/damage will happen
4 items will screw up the test stand every time. 1.) Thermal Energy 2.) Compressive Energy 3.) Corrosion 4.) Engineers
I hope they start armoring the launch mount with sheets of tesla's martenized stainless steel.
it for a new gym?
