SpaceX Covers The Launch Site in Armor to Protect Against 33 Raptors! - SpaceX Weekly Update #99
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 січ 2024
- This week at Starbase Starfactory expansion rolls on, SpaceX continues reinforcing the launch site and carpenters have a little incident during a concrete pour. Preparations are also being made for the fabrication of SpaceX's next launch tower, while Starship and Superheavy construction continues to move forward. Also, over at Cape Canaveral, we see teams at NASA beginning work on the installation of the emergency egress systems for Artemis II.

I like your well organized, concise straight forward updates. I often learn more from LabPadre than others with voluminous commentary. Good job!
All week events neatly bundled up in a short video. Such talent shouldn't be ignored... much kudos!
Absolutely the best weekly update out there with a "just the facts" approach! 👍
I am going to say the crane is being configured with the dual truss configuration, getting it ready for construction of tower 2!
Could be but they haven't even started ground work yet.
I'd also thought that, but IIRC the crane originally used to build the first tower was a LR13000? and I wonder if the LR11000 has the same tonnage lifting capacity and height capability as the LR13000?
I’m going too say the same thing. Soon is flight 3 tower will probably start going in.
@@robbannstromNo, it's weaker
Just like SpaceX , LabPadre is getting better & better.
It baffles me how you can keep up with all that goes on at StarBase. Do you people ever sleep? Thanks for such detailed updates.
It is still amazing to see how much is happening at starbase!
I always look forward to these updates. Very informative! Thanks, LabPadre!
Protection to hardware is vital, for containment and people safety. But progress sometimes comes with learning.
I believe the LR-11000 cranes boom is being disassembled and will be reconfigured with the double boom or “Power Boom” to start the build for the second tower.
I'd have to agree with that. Given how their going with second tower. I'd imaging that's what going happen. Unless the upheaval of park services landswap back fires (it sounds like it did) causes the delay in 2nd tower.
I have been wondering if it is going to be reconfigured with a power boom for the new launch tower. I have been watching for any posts on the subject.
@@Doug_Morgan I did look back to the assembly of the first tower as well as the OLM. The Rasta Crane had a double boom the whole time. It makes sense. The weight of the tower sections could easily cause a single boom configuration to “pop-out” under heavy load. I’m sure the reassembling will start soon. I also feel it will built close to the first tower as all of the fuel and plumbing is already in place.
@@Wrangler-fp4ei it does suck that the land deal has been held up. But I think the second tower will be in the area of the suborbital location they just dismantled.
@@Powerhead1000 Looks like they are putting the same boom back on. They may rent one for when a double power boom is required or re rig it later.
Excellent update! Many thanks!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for the great update. Always kills me when I see Hoppy. Like seeing an old friend, and a reminder of how far SpaceX has come
Amazing how much SpaceX gets done in a week, week-on-week, and it is notable how the pace and quality of the development at Boca Chica has improved dramatically since Musk hired Kathy Lueders as general manager based at Starbase. Gone are the days of the Elon "get something done and we'll see how/if it works" mind-set and we're now in the new SpaceX age of intense but careful management of the entire SpaceX/Starship development in engineering, infrastructure and site planning. Well done, Kathy, for a splendid and ongoing job!
I would love to be a fly on the wall in the logistics planning office - just keeping one thing out of the way of another has to be incredible.
Great update. Many thanks. Greetings from the UK.
Excellent update!
Wow so much happening so fast.
The mind boggles to think this is barely the beginning as the Starship factories ramp towards building 1000s of Starships :)
Maybe using an Army of Optimus robots that build the ships that they will get on to set up a base on Mars.
What a time to be alive.
Thanks Chief and the LabPadre team. I look forward to your reports every week.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you for your continiouse work. I can't wait what the 100th Update will bring us. Maybe a stack of booster and starship :D We look forward and keep goig with ur work. Its always a pleasure what u put into the video to inform us.
The prefab blast wall segments are very similar to those that were the Berlin wall. There are 2 actual pieces of it on display in Dallas.
Fairly sure the LR11000 (Maarvin) is only down for maintenance. No parts have left, nor arrived at the LC to suggest anything else is going on. 2 years of salt spray and dust cannot be helpful! Great video, once again @LabPadre. Thank you so much for all you do!
You are awesome 🎉
You rock!
Love your content keep it up team always great to see your uploads ❤
I'm surprised they're going with a SN 13, with all the bad luck they've been having. More please.
Thank you for three updates. Great job
Thank you, Lab.
Booster 13 stacking 🔥🔥🔥
Much appreciated Lab.
Another excellent review! Thanks guys!!!
Brilliant summary as usual, thanks! :)
Thanks Nate. Lots of information. Exactly what I was looking for.
Nice work L.P.
As usual!
I love this update method!
It's like a camera on an ant colony....fascinating
"Close the blast wall!"
Number 99! keep em coming!
Hello LabPadre, Just to say thank you and your team for the super coverage that you are previding. Only sorry I am not in the position to help more.
I wonder if they ever thought of just over-pressurizing the interstitial space of the dented tanks in the tank farm rather than point loading against the strongback members and using tiger torches? a few psi can go a long way. They have done that a few times with the SS when they buckled them having vacuum issues...
IMO, I see a few problems. I won't speculate on who is at fault, but there appears to be some cases of crews taking shortcuts probably to save time. Another is that the strength of concrete and steel for construction I think have been overestimated because they are rated using tests which do not include exposure to high intensity rocket blast. The water deluge works because it does not rely on material strength and is continually replenished as it gets "burned off"'
They should have kept the two unused vertical tanks as Shields. Let them take a Pummel and uninstall them later
I think the LR 11000 is going to Massey's and another new spacex crane will take it's place at the launch site.
Thanks, Lab, another great episode.
got all my money on a february 30th launch
99 problems but LabPadre aint one.
Doesn't it seem strange to expand the factory toward Rte 4 in only one area?
Any plans for a special episode 100?
For peopke who do such excellent cutting edge engineering. Some of the smartest people on earth.
Some of these failures should of been common sense from a 10yr old..
Can the LR11000 (Oreo) be configured to build the 2nd tower?
No, they have to bring another LR11350
when orbit?
Why not a steam channel for most power rocket
I am wondering if the LR 11,000 is being dismantled to the point where it can be transported down to Massey's
It's being assembled again now. It was for maintenance
what a colony of ants
Is anyone else impressed with how much work SPACE X gets done in a week? They get more done in the week than NASA does in a month or two,or even a half a year in some cases! It goes to show how much more efficient private enterprise is,over the government. No (well we need to form a committee,do an analysis,have hearings),yada,yada and low and behold projects are delayed by years. To say nothing of the $$$! WAY TO GO SPACE X!
👍👍👍🇮🇳
Almost 100!!!
I wonder if Elon watches these recaps.
Methane let's pollute (it's a rocket I mean Ultra pollute)because hydrogen is not available or maybe its more expensive...😑
It's the truth, coupled with the fact that you can't physically launch from Earth with electric rockets
They should've dug up a proper flame diverting trench.
Welcome to the future time traveller
@@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882The future is patch jobs? When will duct tape make an appearance?
When will they collect the water they spent thousands of dollars from the launcher to use in 3D printing machines to build chiper Starchip 3.0 A 4.0.👈👀👀
First
Is Mental Musk ? ...... gunna Redesign his BF , 6 Legged ,Toadstool , Lunch Pad ... which has been a constant Headache since he Built it and Rebuilt it and Fixed it and blew it up and rebuilt it again ... Now it's a mess of Pipes , Patchwork , and Fixes , that MacGuiver would be proud of ...... Or is He gunna go to Something totally different and Better ?
It's a terrible launchpad conception. Keep patching away but eventually the only thing that works is a flame diverter.
Because flame diverter has been damage-free since its first launch /s
the reason i can't watch this is because you are talking about every little boring thing, like that they moved the counter weights and that another ring was stacked, i mean come on, who cares about that. just give me the good stuff.
The narration is so monotone and bland, I had a hard time not falling asleep. Put some emphasis and energy into it.
