Thanks for avoiding clickbait, thanks for using a human for narration. These things are so important on a good you tube video. It's the way to get likes and subscriptions!
Thanks for watching!
Mondays are SBU days. Always a great way to begin the weekdays. Thank you Jack and everyone at NSF.
You need to call the new teststand the SFT
Ahh I can watch and finally go to bed. Can’t sleep without starbase updates
Ya lol 😂
Thanks for the great commentary Jack, Also thank you Mary, Jack, Sean, & SBL, for the awesome video footage! Thank you NSF!!!
The shot at 5:43 really gives a perspective of how big that is, towering over the power lines!
Brilliant to see Jack back in the saddle...lol excellent!!
Jack is back! And sporting a beautiful beard! Thanks NSF for your service!
Always til' the end to hear your phrase Jack ^^ thank you all for another spectacular starbase update
🍻
The enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks for the update.👍
Tks for not using clickbait tactics like your competitors
This was main reason I switched to NSF in the past, stayed because od great hosts
Totally agree. That click bait stuff is a turn-off. NSF does such a great job of covering things that it speaks for itself.
Clickbait. What about it?
love ya work jack and NSF team. Thanks for another great update!
Nice work as always Jack and the NSF Team :)
Another fantastic presentation of the week. Jack and all of the team do such a great job.
Finally an update. Its midnight here whenever they posted an update. Usually nsf posted update 11pm here, so watching this before sleep had already become a routine😅
Great start, Jack
A lovely Monday = great video ❤
Love to NSF team❤ Jack is my favourite 👍🏻 looking good and sounding good my dude😎👊🏻
Great update thanks Jack and NSF team.
Great update. So much happening there!
Richard Feynman fan I assume?
Congrats on a million 🎉
Jack... NSF could design a Visor that was in the style of the Hotstage Ring, and then it would indeed be your Hotstage Hat! 😉👍
Could even make it so the band has cutout slots like the ring has. 😊
Awesome progress
Fast building!
made a concept for a hotstage ring hat for jack. picture is on the discord in party chat
*Saruman Voice*
“A new Tower is rising!!”
I wish they would let the NSF team to put a camera inside the mega bays and in other places around Starbase.
4:20 When they touch Starhopper only to move it a little bit left or right, it wound be ok for me.
The legs are imbedded in the concrete.
MAGNIFICENT UPDATE SIR JACK!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!! GOD BLESS & MIRACLES DAILY TO EVERYONE!! AWESOME!! BRAVO!!👍🇺🇸 ❤ ❤️ 🚀 🚀
According to that NASA diagram, this year they have to build the hardware necessary for orbital refueling. Cant wait to see that
Static fire stand = Grill
Hi Jack your're great and wonderful explanaitions and very very nice. ❤
thanks jack
Yes! SpaceX, Don't touch Star Hopper. 😅 Seriously! don't touch Star Hopper
awesome jack as always
Nice work NSF
Hot staging ring sounds like Spicy Onion Rings recipe.
I think a hot-stage ring is the ring you give her when you first start doing the wild thing but before the engagement ring.
Great Starbase update. But how could you have a complete Starbase update without mentioning the fact that SpaceX headquarters might be moving to Starbase, TX???
Good job Jack, keep it up
Come on, SpaceX, you’re only the fastest rocket company in the world!
Should call the static fire stand the "Tintin stand". Kind of makes the ship look like, well, the Tintin rocket :)
Thank you Jack! Thank NSF!
Crab Stand?
Back in the day for the shorter rocket launches there was the: Apollo Milk Stool...
As a tip of the hat to that, go with something like: Starship Test Stool...
If there's still aspirations of a bar and brewery above the High Bay, they could call it Starship's Bar Stool.
Great info 👏🏻😊👍🏻
Jack ! Can we just keep it tower 1 and Tower 2 ! 🥓🥓
Tower 2 is in Florida. Tower B should be fine. Or, the second tower at Starbase. Or, ...
There will always be people naming things the way they want no matter what anyone says.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 Hmmm...
I see your point, but like... I feel like if we talk chronologically, it IS Tower 2.
If we go with letter designations, then there flat out ISN'T a Tower 2, as it would then be:
*Boca Chica:* Tower A & B
*KSC:* Tower A _(& B & C etc)_
_But then..._ you ALWAYS have to include the location designator. Whereas numerically naming them by chronological order, you automatically know which tower, and where, is being talked about.
(just my completely unbiased 2¢)
Sun, wind or weather...
The show must go on...
Spicy Crab Stand!
Always look forward to Mondays
It’s got to be called “Mr Crabs stand “
And the Test Article that goes in it is called "A Crabby Pattie."
I loved the update 😊
Hi Jack
SHARK - Starship Heavy Assembly Rig for Kinetic testing
My 2 cents worth: Digging out the dirt by the Tower2 to stop what happened at OLM1 with ground liquefaction. May fill it up with rocks and heavy gravel and pack it down before adding reinforced concrete and the water deluge plate.
Let's do this SpaceX!!!
You could call it the master blaster stand
_"Who... run.... _*_Barter_*_ Town....?"_
😊

Will the towers need to be taller? Block 3 of the booster/starship is projected to be a lot bigger, and I wonder if the increased size means the current tower solution can't stack them.
We don't know how the launch stand is going to look. It could very well be just 5 m above ground, with a trench below it (one, two or three trenches).
I think the arms can just grab lower on the sides of Starship. And the ship QD will be raised higher.
i'm not on 100% of the time. 100% like a good moderated update tho. thanks jack and team. :D
you missed the starship v2 parts tho. lp got them. :)
Awesome.
Jack with his "this many..." math skills! LOL
The "Crab Stand" would make, you nice "Coffee Table" hint hint
Yup
The digging by tower b right now probly isnt for a flame trench but I think in the future tower b will go with a traditional flame trench
Let’s goooo
I’m a long time nsf subscriber but will in south Texas at the end of December . Is there enough to see there to make a trip?
Call the transport stand the "Starfish"
The second tower, is actually the third tower ❤
How do you get the audio so good in that constant wind?
Careful settings, experience, a big honkin windscreen for the lav mic, and a dash of luck. I dont always get it right (see last week)
Word of the day is “ integration “ great video …. Keep em coming👍🏻
Crab Stand should be called the Hot Pad.
Who else spotted the cameras on his glasses 🕶️ 📸
Good eye

Oh well. Thanks Jack, love your hard work. Keep going and looking forward to another road trip with 🥓 Kiwi David 🇳🇿
Vote for "the crab-stand"
👇🏽
Poor 4-legged crab.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 Hihihihi!
I wonder what it would take for SpaceX to get some heavy train rails installed along side Hwy 4? being able to move stuff without road closures would have some obvious upsides.
Once upon a time there was a railroad line right through the launch complex. You can still see some of it in aerial views. But I believe that SpaceX intends to widen the highway to 4 lanes.
Mecha 1 and Mecha 2
Time to get a SpaceX mat and start my Elon morning prayers facing Mecha1 and evening Elon prayers facing Mecha2. The Starship is our new Mayflower Ship to another world.
Will flight-5 include an actual orbital insertion?
Most probably not! Everyday Astronaut's after flight video states "The only payload this year is data"
So there would be no need to do orbital insertion.
@@RohitSharma-wx2ky I was thinking that if they were close to orbit, they might want to do a couple of laps to verify onboard systems and de-orbit procedures.
Orbital insertion has not been 'a problem'. Making sure it does not get stuck in orbit has.
Next flight has to show how good the new heat shield is and repeat the landing of the booster (at sea or on the chopsticks) and improving the precision of the ship's landing. Anything else would be a bonus.
I think they will try firing the Starship engines a couple times, but stay suborbital.
Soon "Boca Chica SpaceX: The Two Towers". Would that be a good movie?
im pretty sure that just a work platform not the pez dispenser
Its a work platform for working on the Pez Dispenser
FYI-HBO max added a documentary called wild wild space. All about small sat launchers.
Seen it. Its great
How many total number of tower module should be stack ???
The Thunderbird stand like in Thunderbird, three
fun fact: the folks who live around that area fkn hate all that noise
this video duration is 18min but it felt like 5hours lol and the sun it going down
What about "the Grab Stand" coz it dont let go!
MegaBay 3 finally in play. Soon u will see the hints!
Oh UA-cam, 360p is not "highest quality", unless you're watching this in the 1980s.
Crab Stand, Claw Stand, 4-Legged Hot Stand?
Ship SF stand is not too hard to say.
Mr. President, a second tower has risen.
So, seems SpaceX is "Productizing" land towers ... which makes sense if they really want point to point rocket transportation.
The spider stand
AND - the booster didnt takeoff at static fire like the chinese one. ;)
Has Elon or SpaceX given any kind of estimate on when launch 5 will happen? Any day? Next month? Later this year? Any RECENT hints?
RIP lifting squid
Let's call it the Stand of Height
Beng excellent to others 👍
They're not wasting any time because they want to get all the super-high lifts completed before the crane rental period ends.
Because the towers are so tall they extend into airspace SpaceX has notified the FAA of the schedule. SpaceX seems to be about a week behind the announced schedule.
I still dont understand why Booster is doing static fire on OLM. Is the test stand built at Massey's (with the flame trench) not able to do boosters?
That test stand is only rated for ships, too small for the power of 33 Raptor engines
@@ale131296 Ah. Thanks. Amazing that for all the Starship content I watch, I missed that detail.
Only the OLM can spin up the outer 20 engines.
What if the landing pad could actually move so that the chopsticks would have extra room to catch the first stage Rock
Are those Chart vaporizers?
Anyone know how many shifts are working on the tower? 2, 3, 4?
Can't be one... 😅
I would think building Tower 2 to be able to catch would spare Tower 1 and the launch infrastructure if an attempted catch is non-nominal.
Nope.
With how things have gone, I've shifted to thinking catching with Tower 1 is better suited. Why risk the brand new one? _Especially_ if it will indeed have the flame trench!
