Glass engineer here!👋 that yellow contraption connected to the glass is held on by pure suction! Amazing how strong a good vacuum seal really is! That’s how we primarily lift and move smaller pieces of glass as well! Love this new format btw with the narration!!!
I guess it has lots of redundancy and the glass is very clean? Thanks! - Das
Can't commend enough the narration of John Galloway. A perfect mix of information, technical knowledge and humour. Thank you!
2:57 I love when Das goes on one of his camera nerdout tangents. 😂
Das, you make these videos a pure delight! I am so glad you are continuing to do the narration on them. I was one of those viewers who had a hard time “connecting the dots” on how different shots fit together. I learn so much watching each video now!
Thanks Debra! Appreciate you taking the time to say so! - Das
12:00 The reflection of the booster in the starfactory windows is absolutely awesome.
Safe travels John. I love your added commentary on what where looking at.
Thanks DAS for another awesome SpaceX Boca Chica Update! & thank you NSF!
I like camera facts
NSF Camera Facts / Airplane Facts with Max crossover when?
Laser Focused ones, sharp facts.
'course, could have just been a Parfocal lens, already set to the right focus before the zoom.
I've said it before, but absolutely the best narrator ever!
Your narration on these is excellent. You have the perfect balance of a good voice and contextual background knowledge. It's the nitty gritty details which you impart that makes these videos a special treat. Outstanding. What an amazing world our young generations are growing up in...
Probably better than the regular videos. Lol
Obviously not a construction trash member
Excellent job Das! You could have narrated what was going on at the airport and I would have kept listening.
Careful what you wish for hah - Das
@@NASASpaceflightgreat idea for a new “stream of consciousness” group of videos. Does Das fear flying???? Safe journeys friend!
As always Das amazing update. Quick turn around for new testing on b13. Thanks NSF team for everything you do.
"Nasa Space Flight confirms UFOs. This is a serious video!", Das says as he laughs. lol The commentary definitely makes the videos fun to watch and pay attention to, as opposed to skipping through (guilty of doing that previously).
Thanks Das for taking the time to narrate this while at an airport! UFOs were 😂 and explanation 👌
I love camera facts Thanks
Thanks, Das & crew!
I just now learned of the alternate audio track feature on youtube, so I can still chill to the ambient sounds of the build site. Nice!
It think they are very motivated currently. I think the more we encourage, the more they like to accelerate. So let's keep encourage them!
John, your commentary is simply delightful. Sure, it’s informative and relevant, but it is sooo much more. 🙂
These are so unhinged i love it
Hope you're. traveling somewhere lovely ...Great commentary as always . Thank you and safe journey 😊
Das, great stuff. Mary thank you!
Yes, it's just suction used to lift the glass, most times. Far less risk of damage than lifting it with something that may cause a chip/crack.
They typically have vacuum sensors that sound an alarm is vacuum drops
@@oof_Dad yeah, always important to know, right
@@oof_Dad And vacuum pumps to keep up the suction.
Love your videos Dos. Thanks for the commentary.
Starship Airbnb.. fantastic idea ❤❤❤
We all love DAS
Thanks Mary and Jack!
Loved this style of commentary.
Quickly has become my favorite segment
🤩Thank you, DAS, for this recap. It’s nice for relatively😊 new members here, like me, 🤔trying to understand better what’s on screen. (Ps:😄As you said, if somewhen they wouldn’t use a booster, 🤓one could make a multi-stages boutique- motel inside of it, decorated with 👌🏻SpaceX stuffs inside and very upscale harmony✨. It could be a premium escale for the future SpaceX tourists, before going on their extraordinary space trip afterwards.)
Glad it's helpful and thanks for watching! - Das
4:53 I worked setup/teardown crew at tingley colosseum in Albuquerque, NM, one of our responsibilities was setting up the walls and glass for hockey games. We used something similar, but it is essentially suction cups.
Well, that's certainly a positive sign by rolling out Booster 13 and the state of the improvements they've made to the OLM. Rinse and Repeat
Bring on the S26 Airbnb!!!
I’d stay in it. I might even say its the best airbnb. But i wouldn’t say it’s the best ship.
Meanwhile...SpaceX is unstoppable, and one success after another!! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏💖🚀🌟🗽✊💐
so happy you started narrate these, love from sweden!
Great job - love the narration Thank you
Awesome video! Thanks Das and the NSF team! As others have said, the camera faces are always welcome. Definitely would stay in a Starship Airbnb! Maybe instead of scraping s20, they could move it to Rocket Ranch and turn it into an Airbnb!
Great commentary, info and amazing camera work. Thank you!
Great commentary! Especially like the comment about the ufo. Never would have seen the camera artifact otherwise.
👍 Nice job, thanks. When The Dark MAGAt toured the Everyday Astronaut through the factory that last time there was no music but there were individuals wearing ear buds, who knows?
I absolutely love this narrated format. Please keep making them! I do not go on UA-cam to read 😊🇺🇸💪
I would stay at a BnB made from a Booster or Starship. Was actually thinking about how someone could make a home out of just one section when you brought up the overnight stay in one. Great narration, as usual!
Ahhhhhhhhhh 16 minutes of calm.
Cool seeing the reflection of the booster in the Starbase windows
Thank you
Laser focused cameras. Very cool and clever tech
I read the title too quickly and thought hostages were recovered
😂
The entrance through the jetties is formally know as the Brazos de Santiago Pass (literally "Arms of God") and takes you eventually to Port Brownsville.
NSF is going to be busier than 1 legged man in butt kicking contest when Starship comes online and so many new spreadsheets to track booster and Starship reflights
Going to be?!
Thanks, Mary!
Thanks, Das!
Thanks for the update!
Love the camera facts. What lens are you using with the fancy AF.
Hey Das - when you have some spare time, I would love if you could make a commentary version on the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, where you only comment on the camera equipment used and effects in the scene. That would be spectacular 😅
Love your work - keep the pointy end up 👍
I like the idea of turning an old booster into an apartment building, then you can say "It's been to space!"
I read that five times before I realized it didn't say HOSTAGE
yes, there are multiple suction cups, used to use a smaller scale unit to change the hockey glass...
great vid!
It's just insane to see the return of the space flight heyday's..
So NSF confirmes UFOs at starbase then plays it down. Clever 😉
Yea I bet they're playing Oompa Loompa music in the starfactory xD
😂😂
Each time I'm down there with the kids, Test Shot Starfish, Annu, and Everyday Astronaut can be heard coming out of my car. 🤣🚀🎶
Yes! Starship AirBnB!
8:48 The place I work there's lots of people bitching about not playing music...the postion that both Management and myself take ( odd to be in agreement ) is that not everyone likes the same thing, and nobody should have to spend their 8+ hour shift being forced to listen to music they don't like while they work, just because the majority of their co-workers like that music. If you're in a work environment where earbuds/headphones are ok, then sure, listen to what you like. Cleanroom I work in those sorts of things are a no go though.
The ability to hear what is going on around you is good for safety and catching problems that otherwise could be masked by music.
Amazed the hot staging ring is intact after hitting the water probably going close to supersonic.
yeah, a Booster hotel, please do it !
1:14 Dan Blocker was also known as Hoss Cartwright, so Hoss sounds about Wright.
But not filmed in Texas
Magnificent ❤ Beautiful
gracias desde España por realizar estos magníficos reportajes
este es el camino
@tomasbenedictomaza 🤔hablas de España y de camino, en solamente 3 lineas, y en tu pseudo, son nombres catholicos 🧐=estas tu del OpsDi😳?
@@sandrineponcelet8jan1974 No entiendo lo que dices si te refieres a mi
mi nombre osea TOMAS y mi primer apellido BENEDICTO si son nombres de santos católicos
el primero Santo tomás de Aquino fue uno de los doce apóstoles
el de Benedicto es apellido pero se puede usar como nombre 16 papás lo usaron el primero en 575 el segundo apellido Maza proviene de mi madre de una población de Cantabria
cuando me refiero al camino NO es el camino de Santiago
y por ultimo NO SOY DEL OPUS DEI entiendes
la frase este es el camino la he cogido prestada al personaje de Disney El Mandaloriano
mi comentario era de agradecimiento para las personas que componen NSF
no dudes en volver a comentar si no lo as en tendido
este es el camino
Das, are you on your way to install cameras in New Zealand?
Bring all the hotstages home!
yes
I fully read that as hostage instead of hot stage
Regarding the insane power of a vacuum, I recall the story of an inventor from way back who was messing around with vacuum..
He had a cast iron sphere made, about the size of a basket ball, in 2 halves, with ( I believe), a leather gasket between the two mating surfaces, it was held together while a vacuum was drawn in it, and then it was hooked up to 2 teams of horses, with the demonstration being, that the dozen or so horses could not pull the 2 halves apart.
This was about 3 hundred years ago, and even with a pretty meager vacuum, (it wasn't a full vacuum, since the equipment used was pretty basic), there was NO WAY for the horse teams to pull it apart.
Air pressure is amazing.
Now days I have a small, $140 vac pump which will easily remove 98% of the air from the stainless chamber when I'm doing epoxy resin work.
Lol. Kept reading Hotstage as Hostage.
Goooo Flight 6 full return and catch of hot stage and water landing just off shore of Starship!
November 11!
Lmfao glad I ain't the only one! I was like what?! They stuffed Tim Dodd as hostage?! 🤣🤣
Regardless so excited for IFT-6.
Recovered the hostage from the bottom of the gulf. Lol
Please get a Sony a7s series for the night shots! Great video as always, the commentary really ads a lot of value
Equipment acquisition is fully dependent on donations and merchandise sales.
Imagine if 50% of subscribers would donate $2 a year to NASASpaceflight? Whaat kind of views they could give us?
Real cameras die rapid deaths on the beach... and if you try to protect them with an enclosure you totally nerf the image quality. It's tough! - Das
Hey Das, I noticed new cladding on the launch tower. How far up will they go?
How are they going to get the block 3 boosters in the mega bays? It seems like they are too short to fit the taller rockets
the UFO comment made me laugh, thanks Das :D
they need some "GIVE WAY TO ROCKETS" road signs
@ 1:51 they lowered crane to put th second part (th “ bent piece) was connected
Probably a third will follow maybe not 🤷♂️
Man ive got so many question on how you are powering all thoses camera electrically & receive data in same time are all the camera on UPS & Starlink ?
A Twofer 😂 Awesome stuff…
How deep (roughly) is the water where the Hot staging ring was recovered and for the previous booster parts that were recovered?
Im amazed the hot stage ring is in largely in one piece.
Booster 12 is taken hotstage!
Star Factory Music:
OOMPA LOOMPA DOOPITY DOO
I’VE GOT A STARSHIP NOSECONE FOR YOU…
By WascallyWabbit.
🤣 - Das
Any chance you guys could include a small video speed indicator on screen? Like 1X or 1.2 5X.
Das
In the star factory the workers are singing "Everything Is Awesome" from the original Lego movie 😅
I wouldn't put it past them hah. - Das
if Das says its UFO's then its UFO's
Be cool if they reused the"Hostage ring."
Read it as Hostage Ring and was very confused for a couple of seconds as to where SpaceX was taking hostages, lol
its funny that the cladding on tower 1 slowly grows, mostly driven by need rather than covering the entire thing for designs sake
The HSR is probably good for cooking bacon on! 🥓 🥓 🥓
Speed tape on the chimes 😂😂
Air B&B "The Towering Inferno"
No timestamps 🥺
Did they re activate the deluge system during the catch?
Yes.
next flight around thanksgiving i bet or sometime in december i mean why not they got plenty built and being built it is starfactory after all lol lets go SpaceX lets go NSF
when will the raptor 3 engines be used ?
