Usually don’t comment, but sorry to say this episode was really annoying with the 420 joke. Just distracted me from the video. Ended up skipping loads. Please limit the amount of attempted comedy and focus on the amazing news and content.

They finally bought a tiny piece of land surrounded by finished building? That sounds like some weird Texas land stuff. I'm wondering... What about it? 🤔
I don't think this is just a Texas thing. You see people clinging on to a tiny piece of land surrounded by a massive development from time to time. When I was a kid, the council wanted to build a new car park behind shops in Camberwell, an upper middle class suburb of Melbourne, Australia. There was one old lady who didn't want to sell the house she had been living in for decades, and who could blame her? So for several years, there was this little old house with a little rose garden smack bang in the middle of a shopping car park (an open one; l I think this would be called a parking lot in the US). Eventually, the old lady died and the house was pulled down and there was a nice, big, boring car park instead. Sometimes you see pictures of massive highways in China swerving around a house (surprising that the Chinese government could not compulsorily acquire the land). In the Boca Chica case, I suspect the landowner had been hanging out for a big payout from SpaceX and when he saw that they were just going to build around his land, he gave up and sold the land to them.
They have an antenna on top off the tower and on both catch arms to locate the exact position off the starship or booster coming in. Each chopstick arm moves in individually separate control. Keeps the same distance between the starship and the chopsticks.
[How to fix the soundtrack] My German is a little rusty, and my Hindi is not the best either. As there isn't an option to select English I figured out a way to get the original soundtrack though. I started the previous episode (and it started in German as well) and there I could switch to English and when going back to this video it was the original soundtrack once more. Phew!
A catch only tower makes absolute sense given orbital refueling, Starships would be returning relatively soon after boosters giving little time to free and test the tower that catches the booster.
Those panels are maybe proximity sensors. Accurate within millimeters. The chopsticks ideally must touch only the catch hard points, while avoiding contact with other parts of the rocket. Those panels may intead be short range transmitters, as a point of reference for the stage as it approaches the chopsticks.
The devices on the chopsticks are indeed to prevent ship damage. Booster 5 seemed to be squeezed pretty tightly as it slid down to the catch pins. This much have caused some damage and would decrease rapid usability. These new decides could measure the ships location very quickly And accurately allowing the chopsticks to close with just the right amount of pressure OR no pressure at all. They may allow just the catch pins to grab the arms. After all the best part is no part. Why grab the ship if all the weight rests on the pins.
The astrobiology team leader for the dragonfly mission works at my school! She gave us physics and astrophysics students a talk about that mission! It’s super cool and exciting!!
RE plates onchopstick arms, Proximity sensors, one sending and one receiving. Not there permanently, just temporarily to measure distance and closing speed.
@Whataboutit what is going on with the audio track. The audio track is on German and you can’t turn it off. I can understand German enough to understand what it’s about. But the voice is unbearable to listen to. Is it an issue with UA-cam or could it be an upload issue?
Brilliant Felix. Four hundred and twenty times brilliant. The guys (and blokes) over at NSF have some fun but I always seem to end watching your channel with a smile on my face. And goodness knows not much that's going on currently can do that.
Those things on the chopstick catch pads look like strain-guage sensor pads. They measure how much force is placed on the booster by the chopstick arms when they contact it. Now that they know exactly where the arms will contact the booster, they know for sure where to place them.
I would say that those pads are pressure plates. Probably to either measure the contact force with the booster or actively use that data to provide feedback to the actuators to dampen the bounce or just to keep the chopsticks from crushing the booster...
Did you know 42 is the expansion constant for the universe in miles per second per megaparsec? It is also the number of galactic years before the sun ends.
I don't know if this is what spaceX does but when I see an orange hose line it is usually because it has a fire resistant fiberglass insulation sleeve on it
About the time I was beginning to think the "We've looked into our channel metrics" part was pre-recorded and reused each episode, you got and throw a wrench in my assumptions
Many of us don't partake. We come here for space news and insights. If we wanted stoner references we'd go watch Jay and Silent Bob. It's not rocket science, HAHAHA. You see what I did there? That's a pun that's actually funny!
420th episode… okay, thank you. I was sick of hearing the phrase, rage quit and came here to complain. Now I can simply go away until next Tuesday. I got the gist of this episode.
The joke did wear a bit halfway through, but I get it: "to" & "for" show up only a little less than "the" in English, so since there'd already be a bunch in the script, play up the joke for the celebration. After all, big part of why we watch is how you share our quirky nerd humor. Just... trying to tuck in 420 jokes in 21 minutes? Oww.
One of the pads recently instaleed is for re entry. Back-up system. Thats what I was told. but you don't know until it happens. Thanks' for the episode.
Those devices on the chopsticks are definitely not for precision distance measurements, for that, you’d use retro reflectors and a total station. It’s a mystery to be sure!
Congratulations on your 420th episode, Felix. I don't think there are enough 4 2 gags in the video. You had a chance around 3:30 "They can be used to get very precise distance measurements" could have been "They can be used 4 getting very precise measurements between the 2 catch arms". I have a protest: "These could be Starlink antennas from Ship 32 and Booster 12; that makes 42, by the way". 32 + 12 = 44 when I went to school. I also have concerns with your counting ability: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 68, 68, 36, 37, 38, 38, 39, 39, 40, 41, 42, 68, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56, 57, 58, 68, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 62, 68, 69'.
If they built a tower in Australia, probably one of the longest distances and easies to get approval, they would instantly have a massive import export income.

Those things on the chopstick catch pads look like strain-guage sensor pads. They measure how much force is placed on the booster by the chopstick arms when they contact it. Now that they know exactly where the arms will contact the booster, they know for sure where to place them.
Can't wait for those 25 launches next year.
I think those pads on the arms are load cells to measure pressure and feedback to the system as they are clamping down on the booster/ship.
Where is the english track?
They will have to have a parking garage for all the finished boosters and Starships when the design is finalized and they ramp up production.
2:52 Missed one. "When a booster or a ship is coming in *FOR* a landing, the *[TWO]* arms close around it."
At 12:19 / 12:23 he missed another one
I would say that those pads are pressure plates. Probably to either measure the contact force with the booster or actively use that data to provide feedback to the actuators to dampen the bounce or just to keep the chopsticks from crushing the booster...
they are starlink dishes

it's possible they're starlink antennas to communincate with the vehicle as the chopsticks catch it so SpaceX won't lose communication last second.
