Its easy forget that whist all this construction is ongoing this is the busiest space rocket company in the world. It is truly amazing how Space X employs the right people to make this happen.
I think over 100 capture towers and more starship factories/fuel factories need to be built. Musk aims to build at least one Starship per day, but current infrastructure and manufacturing facilities are woefully inadequate.
Those ears on the piston in the hydraulic cylinders where some of the thinnest I've seen, just look at the much thicker ears in the cylinder end. I think they should be very happy this happened in such a low angle of the lift! More crack scanning feels needed!
My understanding is those pistons are always under compression during normal times and so dont need beefy ears. Only when something goes wrong and they are put under tension do those take any force, immediately failing.
@@imconsequetau5275 I don't know, all I saw was the short clip of a sudden yank in the truss and the guy by the wheel trolley for the tip jumping 3 feet in the air sideways!
0:01 - 0:17 Those interlocking panels don't just drop down. The device is hammering them down into soil. In a follow-up stage, they will be pounded even deeper.
Its about dang time they got rid of that raggedy dumpster they held high explosives in... Needed to happen 2 years ago. Ive been waiting for this day. Good on ya Spacex
Cool seeing the crane re configure and fix. The chopsticks catching that enormous booster is sci fi. It's going to be a must see. I wonder if SX is catching ship 30, too?
4:58 (Zoom In) Looks like the eye mounts (eyelets) were designed to *_fit within_* the cross-sectional area of the piston. I wonder if that was necessary? It would be if the piston and eye mount were cut from solid bar stock.
2:51 do the window areas of any of the bays actually get used for anything at all? Seemed like they were gonna set up offices or clubs or something but afaik it's just empty space with a nice view. Also what damaged that window, did a bird fly into it?
I'm not sure what's up there but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an event space for visitors. We sometimes see colored lights flashing up there and they have a cool view of the work going on in the bays. Definitely an impressive view for investors I'd imagine.

I recall seeing a truck pulling inwards on the end of the boom (on wheels on the ground). Was that because the eyes were torn out - or was that the cause?
I love SpaceX and am excited for their version. What I like less is having to listen to Elon Musk kissing Trump’s butt on X. Come on Elon, you’re better than that.

Thanks NSF team for the extra views of things we missed.

Thanks for these continuous amazing supercuts 💯
these videos are very satisfying
Love that they brought this back! Keep up the good work
Brought what back?
Love these non vocal clips!
I am glad the crane did not fail during a critical lift. I mean this in a positive way… they will have built the Twin Towers of Starbase, TX.
Mr. President... another Starship has hit the catch tower

Awesome as always!

I don't think drugs are hidden inside the crane.

@@Vatsyayana87 So they are only buildt for pushing forces? That might work, but something went wrong, a slipping cable?
I also want to know. Did it happen before or when a truck was pulling inwards on the end of the crane tip?

A larger factory (150-280 meters in height) needs to be built to accommodate possibly even larger starships in the future.
What a monster of a crane.
Thank you for all the hard work in making these excellent videos
Thanks for a great Boca Chica update NSF!
They must be anticipating some huge loads and stresses on the tower if they're reinforcing it.
Cool that the elevator works before stacking is done.
Lots of activities and the raising of the yellow crane is impressive ❤
Love these video clips.... the detail is amazing. Like the simple videos with captions and no speakers. 🚀🚀🚀🚀
Good job, keep it up, thanks.
That is one BIG crane part.
Love cranes - especially big yellow ones!
WoW tower segment 7 was quick on the scene after the crane was repaired.
Thanks Mary and Thomas!
Cool!
Ah yes, the FTS storage unit! The only part of Star Base that looks like it's already been hit by a bomb! 8-)
Great!❤❤
You guys rock

Seeing those rod ends pulled out like that gave me chills! That could have been a real disaster!
Looks like Kurtis from CEE Aus will have an emergency job delivered this week.......

No ship 30 will perform a soft water landing.
no
They won’t attempt a starship catch until block 2 has been flown with a successful & precise soft water landing.

@@thomashayden804I think its a restaurant or lounge for the workers to relax.
Is it where Zak films his videos? 😂
Cool
They got rid of the Boca Chica Boom Box?!
LOL 😂
4:58 - 4:59 How would you make the eye mount stronger in tension?
That is one big azz crane.
0:07 is going tomorrow
4:15 are those beer bottles😂
There the end of pipes. You can see them continue below the beam.
Concentric pipe stubs?

How did they manage to break the eyes of both cylinders. Something must have been set up wrong!

Thankfully, they did not call Boeing to make repairs….
Oh no the crane was damaged a second time???
Its the only damage i recall. Few days ago.
@@Vatsyayana87 oh ok but they already showed the footage of the crane damaged last week. This seemed like something new but maybe not.

Block musk and focus on SX. It's just better that way.
First
Are they going to fly into the South Tower first?
They are landing at the old tower. The new one wont be anywhere close to finished by flight 5.
Bad joke of the day imo.
Really needs naration
Well, we have the "Starbase update" every monday. It's very quality content
No it's fine just as it is
