We are now doing weekly aerial flyovers depending on the support that we get. Our cost range from pilot fees to rental fees of the Cessna 172 that is used for the flyovers over the sites.

I watch about 10 different UA-cam channels that cover SpaceX starship and you are by far my favorite and ur knowledge your pictures totally on point every time. Keep up the good work.
I feel you...Rocket fever is a terrible and fascinating disease xD. I cut by half because of click bait. Now I watch roughly 5.
my go to's, are NSF, Marcus House, Lab Padre, RGV, Scott Manley
if im really desperate ill do WAI, but i find him a bit cringe, so I usually turn off, as I cant take it.
@hupekyser I like WAI, my desperation shot would be Great SpaceX. There you'll find all the fanboy stuff.
Well done editing job with excellent narrative, and concise. Always my favorite!
Great job of registering the before/after photo pairs.
I like those the best. I constantly rewind those to see other changes from week to week.
Good work as always! Thank you and the whole team!
Thanks Mauricio, excellent coverage as always
if you run the before and after photo quickly back and forth 3 or 4 times it would be easier to notice the differences.
Right-click on your browser tab and click "duplicate". Freeze both instances and toggle between them by typing CTL-PG UP, CTL-PG DOWN as long as you like. (Windows -- dont know what the keystrokes would be on a Mac)
@@stjohns0 that's a lot of extra work when you can just pause the video and use the arrow keys to jump between the pictures.
there's more crack in that concrete than a 80's block party
Thanks
Extending the metal plating around the launch pad, would protect the underneath concrete layer from the extreme temperatures as the abrasive erosion from the engines thrust.
I agree, it would seem that 3/4" plate steel in sheets could be laid down and welded continuously for the first 100 feet in all directions. This would make future changes a pain in the arse below the plating. Fondague was a fun experiment but probably the wrong material choice.
Love the content, the narration, the editing. It’s amazing ❤❤❤
One of the videos of all time
Thank you
Another great video Mauricio, your content gets better all the time. 👍
Very good fly safe
Nice job Maricio, I always tune in to get the latest information from you
Great as always. Mauricio, could you also include some ground shots in these episodes?
Thank You! T
Great stuff!! Thanx.
Great updates!
Thank you for the update!
Great and very informative as always
Thanks RGV team!!!
Great update Mauricio, thanks!
Seems to me the black ones are for booster test fire stands, while the left was for the installation of rockets. They've got no visual stylings, typical of testing mounts and we DO need them
Awesome mate thanks again for all your hard work!!
Great stuff... there is no bullshit on this channel.
No extra filler high energy chatter. Just the facts, Jack!
Awsome as always.
Cool stuff 😎👍
Nice video!
7:50 Wait a minute, are we just gonna gloss over the VOLLEYBALL COURT? how long has that been there?
A fat little minute
I doubt the concrete removal is related to the static fire - the removal is not in areas directly hit, probably related to something else..(?)
Clean your wing strut boy. “a stain is a vice”
Great job Sir. Thank you. When you do the slide wipe to show the changes though, I am sorry, but it is too quick. It is hard to see the changes. Can we slow this down, maybe multiple slower wipes? But apart from that, great video :)
I do rewind often, but maybe slowing it down would help.
Fondag sounds like refractory like we used in big multi-megawatt power house I worked at
Wonderful in dealing with RADIANT heat.
Not worth a hoot against a high velocity blowtorch type flame.
If it is in fact a radiant heat refractory it will never work because wrong application
👍👌
Where are those holes relative to the pilings near the launch mount?
Get that bird into the air!
Fascinating how much they are messing around with that fondag, I would love to know what the issue is. Thank you so much for these videos!
It's going to take 5 days to cure, so no launch this week.
8:27 Am I the only one scared of how close that many methane tanks are from the lauch pad? A big boom during lauch, or a wrong turn while leaving the pad could easily beat the record of biggest explosion of spaceflight history...
I agree it is close, but I am guessing that at that point most of the methane will be in the starship and the risk at the tank farm will be mostly structural and not as a contributor to making an explosion at the pad much worse.
Honestly though if it does go wrong and heads towards the tank farm for a crash the amount of methane in the rocket itself would make the biggest explosion period. The further away the storage is from the pad would mean more cooling was needed for the longer distance. That being said, this is a production/prototype site constantly being remodeled and upgraded. It’s amazing how fast they are actually working on getting all of this done across the multiple sites. Each one is vital to the next so let’s pray we never have to abort right after launch or have a booster come back down right after launch.
10:15 for the OLM image.
This new Tanks are Trailers
I wonder why they don't put steel over the fondag?
8:29 shouldnt it say LCH4 on the tanks ?
👍👍👍🇮🇳
Apparently some changes are being made to S25 too. The person didn’t give any evidence though
Nice job
Fondag rippers? 🤨
There will always be concrete problems until they do the thing they seem to not want to do.
Don’t say flame trench, lol
A flame diverter isn’t possible now.
@@jason_m_schmidt622flame relocation device?
Flame trench at Boca Chica can't be done without creating a tall hill - that is starting from scratch. They don't have land enough for that anyway (note the long ramp at 39A).
And, a trench is no guarantee it will last any longer than any other such alternative. Is there any trench you heard of that has handled the equivalent of 33 Raptors? They also need extensive repairs and are not convenient if rapid launching is the goal. SpaceX are still in the middle of their R&D after all.
Every Apollo and Space Shuttle launch damaged the launch pad. One shuttle launch ejected 1500 fire bricks out of the trench. A trench is not a solution.
Dude rocketing the gangster look 😢 you're better than that
… When you want us to understand your before and after snapshots, you need to move the slider back-and-forth several times. Doing it just once doesn’t help me at all to see the difference between the before and after. You’re welcome.
maybe a 5 degree turn-up at the end of the cooling plate will do it
It’s either that or SpaceX needs put in more steel plates in the area they put Fondag
@@jason_m_schmidt622 That steel would also need water cooling. Cracks in Fondag are not a problem - easy to fix.
5 seconds of info from the main title of the video. cheers.
They will LEARN that Concrete no matter WHAT strange Alias you call it is 100% useless when you put it under those sorts of stress USELESS there is way too much concrete used these but they will learn
They have it under the suborbital pads and elsewhere. They are not new to this.
I love it when you ignorant people pretend you know what you're talking about.
2 hours ago?
I have seen all this stuff in this channel before.
Good stuff, but no update at all.
Literally made the whole caption for 10 secs of coverage at the end of the video lmao really?! It looks more like just a concrete touch up..smh
Wipe sucks... Fade already
Why you didn't like the 90s. It was cool back then but now not so much.
So predictable. Musk's water cooled steel plate failed! Guess these guys will never learn that they need REAL flame diverter.
How did it fail lol? It worked
It didn't fail. The concrete wasn't given a long enough time to cure, in order to enable static fire testing of B9.
The producer of Fondag states "less than 24 hours" for it to cure. They gave it several days.
The problem is the size of the areas of Fondag. Like all concrete it tends to crack if the area is too large, which is why you can see them cut concrete with saws. Having gaps from saws in the concrete around the OLM is not something they want. So, they have to accept some cracks to show up. Small cracks can be repaired - larger ones have to be redone. It is not a big deal. New concrete is a daily endeavor at Starbase.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 interesting...
It didn't fail, but you fools are reduced to blatant lying to pretend you have a point. How you could demonstrate a weaker mind is beyond me, but I guess when fantasy is all you have you are going to cling to it. You people define pretty much define predictable, dishonest and dishonorable and yet you think you can stand in judgement of others. Disgusting.
👍
Wow it's almost like concrete cure times matter. Nsf can do a weekly podcast talking about how concrete can dry in 3 days and it won't change the reality. The thicker the pour and the higher pressure rating of the material dictate a much longer cure time than the minimum, into the magnitude of months or weeks. Let's see how much concrete achieves flight during oft-2.
Or it could be that high pressure in those pipes is causing them to move. I have seen that in water pipes.
