    Without a doubt, it's not even close. Of all the shooters who've ever recorded & posted Starbase video stuff online... BocaChicaGal is far & away at the very top of the apex. Unlike none of the others (who keep coming & going) she keeps finding sophisticated compositions in all that construction chaos and creates beautiful imagery. Truly an artist. And a Boca original! Big thanks from a big fan.

    Hello, Sean. I don't remember the time stamp. Hurry, but the one viewed that you took from the distance showing the launch because of the launch facilities. That was a really a great sbut in my mind. I was thinking something is out in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing around. And no ships, no nothing, and it just looks to the animal.I just kind of have that feel

  • @user-ThomReec8587
    @user-ThomReec8587 Місяць тому

    If repairs to the OLM & Tower take a week or more to complete after every launch. Then SpaceX is going to need to build at least 4 or 5 Launch Pads (a OLM & Tower) a both launch sies (Boca & the Cape). In order to faciltate the numerous launches that they are proposing to make in the near future. Maybe even add more Launch sites

    Some SBL cameras exhibit edge enhancement, noted by a light halo effect between dark colored things like cranes or tower components, and sky at 2:16, 7:50, and 13:24. Jack’s static fire footage at 1:34 has a smooth gradation from the ship’s nose tiles to the background sky. Similar footage at 7:50 has a light halo a few pixels wide, there. It could be camera-specific. Some SBL cameras don’t have or show it, like at 6:33, 6:41, 6:55, 7:41, maybe 18:10 and 18:29, and all the nighttime footage. None of Mary’s, Jack’s, or Sean’s footage has it. Watching a 720p feed from my phone casted to a TV.

      Good news, most of this money is from SpaceX's other profits (Starlink is designed specifically to fund this) so the NASA money gets spent on more HLS specific things. Of course regardless how you group it I guarantee you we'll have an absurdly capable and reliable rocket before we know it
