Thanks for Watching! - Наука та технологія
The logistics aspect of all of this construction is incredible.
Understatement!
It amazes me everything we see has been brought in on that narrow road.
Mind-boggling.
How so. It's normal assembly logistics. Perhaps incredible to a shrimp farmer.
The scale of this operation is staggering. Even if they weren’t occasionally stopping construction to launch the world’s biggest rocket, the construction project itself would qualify as a mega project. But then they also build rockets on a construction site. It’s mind blowing how they manage all these sub projects and still launch.
Just Think of the Logistics involved! This is more than an Army in "invasion" mode!
I’d love an inside interview of the logistics just insane to building rockets, buildings for the rockets, cryogenics, launch licenses, Jesus Christ
They're doing everything at once.
Yes, these people are very strong, I think they are surely passionate about their work and this SpaceX 's adventure ...
That's what struck me most about it
When they first started here was little more that welding rings together in the dirt
Great flyover update RGV, Thank you so much!!!
Your welcome
Boca Chica, TX: A construction site that also builds and fly's prototype rockets on occasion.
12:25man thats crazy how the plasma builds up like that..
just from the friction of the air.... and being that the air is so thin at that altitude at that .. its just mind blowing!!!!!!!
Great summary of progress.
Thank you so much for this update!
I like your way of "getting high" and "seeing things".
😂😂😂😭
Inspections are not getting High and seeing things, they are about getting close , 2ft and closer. Claiming this is an inspection is ridiculous . The first Starship launch had such bad damage you could say it was irresponsible and stupid.
@@mikewallace8087 I think you missed the joke my man 😂
@@_LightningRod_ Definitely. His sense of Humor has Flatlined.
@@otpyrcralphpierre1742 It Most definitely has! 😂
Thanks for this (as always) amazing update!
Well done job documenting all this! Eye grabbing graphics and illustrations are excellent! Much kudos to RGV team!
Glad to see them resuming a rapid development pace.
what a beautiful update. thank you very much team. you guys are fantastic
Needed this info. Brilliant 😊
Thanks so much for the upload. Loved it
lovely voice over!
@RGV I really enjoy your videos and narration. I like the highlight zoom on things but could, when you zoom in on a particular object, you zoom in the whole image and then just highlight the thing you want? That would allow us to better enjoy all the details around the highlighted object in zoom view as well. Thank you and keep up the outstanding job!
Thanks for this latest flyover. Lots going on at StarBase.
Love your videos, thank you very much and keep on doing these awesome flyovers!
Thanks for the awesome video!
Great as always!
My Tesla was built in a tent. I love it.
Was a amazing and comprehensive video thats a definate sub ❤
excellent
woot RVG
I am always curious what types of camera are you using so that the aerial photo looks like flat and has no sense of 3d.
I'm pretty sure that the amount of work that gets done at SpaceX in a day is more than the total amount of some countries.
6 to 9 more Starship launches this year.
Anybody else get the significance of those #s? lol
I don’t think the gas thrusters worked properly in order to keep the ship from rolling out of control
That is a leading theory
What part of Scotland is the accent from? It doesn't strike me as one from the big cities of Central Lowlands, but I'm no expert.
I grew up on the east coast near Edinburgh, moved to Glasgow for work, 30 years later I sound like this lol. But I do make an extra effort to make the voiceover clear and concise. Do you find it ok to understand?
@@geoffallansuper clear and easy to understand.
@@geoffallan No problems
@@geoffallan As a Sassenach, I find it quite pleasant.
(Actually my father's side of the family hails from Inverness.)
As with all accents from the UK/Ireland, the real pleasure comes from the combination of local accent with proper use of English.
I love some continental accents.
Why do these views remind me of Roller Coaster Tycoon?
Congrats to SpaceX for making orbit, maybe they can stop doing the pad powerslide maneuver soon 😂
That diagonal movement really seems to be torching the tower and the cables on it so I do hope they figure that out.
6 - 9 more flights _this_ year? 😳
Quite unlikely but even if we 'only' get 3 more that's still plenty.
👀🚀👍
👍👍👍🇮🇳
6:33 - 3 engines only?
Could the mystery ring at Massey's be the start of the new OLM?
It's the ring for ship static fire stand
There's evidence of 2 other OLM rings already in existence from satellite imagery (in Florida). Ring sections were spotted outside of Hanger M at the Cape Canaveral SFS on different occasions many months apart. If you have a look on Google Maps you can see them maps.app.goo.gl/S8tMD3EkGo41hior6
Just joking - but Stonehenge?
Do you want me to speak like Spinal Tap?
Correction: S28 *attempted* 2 out of 3 milestones, it *completed* none (maybe one, but I doubt the transfer test was successful).
What are the milestones as you think of them?
@@TheEvilmooseofdoom The 3 described in the video: Actuate cargo door (failed) propellant transfer (results ambiguous) Raptor relight (skipped).
So at best 1 out of 3, which is fine, because the only objective that really mattered, nominal (sub)orbital insertion, was achieved.
@maxwellquebec8675 I think you are forgetting a few. It finished its orbital insertion burn (almost orbit) and it also rentered. Those were major accomplishments
You also should not forget about the Booster!! It nearly landed on the Gulf of Mexico and even had an engine relight! It also survived the hot stages and the flip manuever. This flight was really successful. Starship performed everything a non reusable rocket could do and it also achieved a bit more. They are probably only a few flights away from full reusability
@@Imagine_Beyond I'm using the terminology of "3 milestones" as used in the video. Obviously orbital insertion and boostback were far more important objectives; that goes without saying.

SpaceX took three (?) tries to get Falcon working, and almost went bankrupt. Elon gambled his fortune ( again ) - and won! He hires the best people, ang gives them what they need to succeed: Lots of money, authority, responsibility and accountability.
Someone should tell Elon that Bora_H takes it without lube.
Though Starship isn't generating revenue yet!
They got Falcon on try four.
Can you say skunk works ?
@@cube2foxif they keep this pace up, we should see commercial starlink launches by end of year, and then customer payloads by end of next year (pending the large payload door version of starship obv), so I wouldn't worry about revenue
Instead of having trailers and several individual houses, shouldn't they build a proper residential complex, that can house hundreds of workers, not just 10-20?
The starship collection area looks like a trophy area. Appears they have 3 designs to test in microgravity. So far, they have proven the fins on starship don't work to control spin in space. I wonder if the spin of flight 3 created gravity on the starship? The changes in the center of gravity with the fuel transfer could have caused the spin issue.
To early to say if problems were from fins. But I doubt it.
The fins are not meant to control any thing in space. They are meant to help starship once it enters the atmosphere and guide it to a landing zone.
I thought they were experimenting with rcs gas thruster and that cause the spin but as aforementioned too early to say
Think future generations will learn about this in school?
Turning point in space flight
I know a lot of people don't like Elon
I just hope they succeed with this so we can move forward to something
Re usable is a waste of time and effort. It got scrapped for a reason before.
It may not have visible damage but the integrity can be compromised. "Good enough" isn't acceptable in this field.
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.
Is this a copy paste from the first flight?
So you start off topic... gone.
Careful, that gate sticks a little
