As walls go up around both the build and launch sites, and doors are seemingly imminent on the mega bays, RGV’s videos become increasingly essential for us ring and tank watchers!
Sir They've escaped! Everybody run for your lives!! the starships are on the loose! 😂
The slide from old to new is always so fast and it's kind of impossible to get any value out of the slide, but it could be so much better. Why not put a yellow highlight box around all the areas of change so that it's easier to focus the eyes on the interesting areas.... for it then to zoom into them?
If there's aircons for the bays installed, then i'd agree days of casual monitoring of work inside the bays is over. If not, then the doors are probably weather related, meaning they will remain open for ventilation, but close when weather starts affecting production.
Also everyone is focused on rockets and big buildings but IMO the things you see painted white are final designs. I use GM as an analogy. GM builds some new electric car, they have to build the tooling for that car. Same with Spacex and rockets. They've been refining work flow to get the machines and work stations just right so that efficiency is is maximized. I expect a lot of the stands you see rockets, boosters and other parts getting shuffled will be scrapped because the finalized machine is installed in in one of the Mega-Bays
You know they're going to put doors on the assembly bays. My guess is it is a lower priority item which also has a long lead time. All one needs to do is look at the historical spaghetti plots of tropical storms and hurricane to know doors were always in those building future. Even non-tropical weather, working with rain and dirt blowing in is way detrimental to QC.
that aside, I'll bet the guys working inside have been begging for some AC too
@@Corvus.2606 Once doors are installed they might .but my guess,with how the doors tend to open a lot ..they may not be able to get A/C intalled .
@@Corvus.2606 I don't keep up with stuff nearly as much as some of these folks but at base of the Mega Bay in this very video where they stuck the white stand, there is a low roofed building on the road side of Mega Bay 1? and there are chiller units already set up outside. I would not be surprised to see floors at certain locations that see a lot of activity and on those floors will be enclosed spaces that they do provide HVAC to. You install massive chiller units that chill water way down, pump water to air handler with heating and cooling coils inside at specific locations. They certainly won't use scaffolding long term and both boosters and ships are tall.
Mauricio, good job with this episode ❤
ty sir
Thanks!
Ive said it before, an I'll say it again...i ABSOLUTELY LOVE these updates. On the Saturdays i work an miss all the fun during the live show...these are perfect for keeping me in the loop. Many thanks, Mauricio !!! 🤟
Thank you very much 👍🏽
I sure like the inserts of current info and goings on since the fly-over. SpaceX move at Mach 25 and the 172 clocks at 110kts tops. That’s a big difference. The dad jokes rock, keep’em coming.
Great pics guys ! Love your accent Mauricio haha
Thank You!
Un grand MERCI pour votre travail. ;)
Thanks again for the great work. Doors on the buildings make sense, especially lower doors to pool the air conditioned cooler air and make it more comfortable (and productive) to work at the lower levels. Complete doors for storm protection also make sense. i don't think they left headroom for VAB style doors so sliding or hinged in segements.
Great job Mauricio!!
Bravo Mauricio!
If possible, could you please do side by side photos? as it will be 100% better to see the comparisons.
Thanks
@@Erudite_TWRhe means side by side in the same frame. They don't do that.
FYI as a Patreon member they provide a user controlled slider image of the current and previous flyover to peruse at your leisure.
@@Barthhhelona oh my bad
Well done job! Looking forwards to the same-
Great show as always. I'm still impressed, but no longer shocked to discover new things that aren't covered in the 2 hour Saturday review.
Excellent job, guys!
nice pics RGV good comments thats the right way to do it
Thanks Mauricio, more great professional content :)
Thanks
The fall/winter is coming, they don't want to be exposed to the elements all the time and be able to work inside even in the bad days. Doors are definitely necessary.
They've dealt with it so far but as the vehicles become more refined and dialled the time is now right.
they have 90+ cameras now?!!! think we'll get to see all 90 views after a launch? lol
Awesome news ! Thank you :) Can't wait to see the next launch
Thanks Mauricio! Great episode as always
These are great! Thanks for doing this. Can't always make the 2 hour streams
Looking at how they are building a new dirt berm around the test article, it looks like they plan to do another test of the new flight termination system. I'm guessing it is bigger than it used to be, and that may be the reason the tents were moved farther away.
Thank you keep on swimming and flying, like crazy crazy trains .. love you all ❤
Another great one Mauricio !!
Lets hope Mega bay 1 is being turned into the Engine bay and will be the only one needing a door for cleanliness.
Great coverage as always-keep up the good work!
outstanding mauritio, love ur work! so many channels seems to be piggybacking off your work. basically only use your channel and NSF now.
Great video as always!
Poor SN15
4:45 two for each mega bay and one more for the highbay?
Excellent work Mauricio! Does anybody know why the perimeter shape of the launch site is so oddly shaped @12:38 ? Are they limited to that exact shape?
For now yes… if they wanna go beyond the area they need army core engineers to survey the land… at least that’s what I’ve heard
LOL B4 engine replacement. ok. We are off in the weeds now!
Just light the fuse.
How will there lift SN 26 without the forward flaps?
They don't lift with the flaps. It's a ball and socket system on the chop sticks
@@jeremyfarmer2502 but where it picks up is under the side of the flap point against the hull of starship 26 has nothing there to do that so how then it is streamlined like a bullet ?
How are they going to lift S26 on top of its booster. Does it have the mechazilla mounting points?
I suspect that the impending doors on Megga Bay 1 are to keep wildlife out rather than to stop prying photography. Once the Starfactory is complete, ship & booster construction will be from start to finish in a clean-room(ish) environment.
No rocket has ever been built in a clean room environment.
No idea where this idea comes from - it is pretty silly if you stop and think about it. Welding is dirty, very dirty
@@joshua43214 A good point... doors should stop birds using the high bay as a giant roost though and pooing on the workers below lol ...
Also, do any of those bays have aircon? I'm guessing probably not practical with them having huge holes in their sides, apart maybe for a few enclosed office spaces around the base, but perhaps putting doors on might also allow SpaceX to get some level of aircon - or reduce the running cost of any aircon already in there substantially. I'm sure that at the height of a Texas summer the workers would appreciate that.
Landing Points
How not to take advantage of such a great opportunity: when the Starships are fully operational, we are supposed to see the same routine that we see with the Falcons. So why not take this opportunity to collect as much data as possible.
In each step that the Starship manages to overcome, there are steps that, just as the Falcons do routinely, these the Starships will do too. SpaceX should surprise us by matching these steps to the extent that it manages to overcome each of the previous ones.
And this would only be achieved with large tarpaulins with circles outlining the landing points of both ships in the sea. Surround them with cameras on rafts and drones so we can all see said spectacle. In this way it would be possible to collect all the necessary data to achieve the success of these ships. That is what I would do if I were Elon Musk or those who run SpaceX.
They will do it the same way they did the F9 and that likely won't involve overly elaborate tarpaulin sites. There is a limit to how close ships can be as well for safety they have to maintain exclusion zones but some camera drones will likely be in the area to both record and receive the telemetry and data streams.
👍👍👍🇮🇳
Quite a few people think Ship 26 is going to be used to test cryogenic propellant transfer. Has it undergone any unusual pressure testing that previous ships haven't?
It might also be to test the launch behaviour of something closer to an HLS ship which, like SN26, isn't going to have flaps or a heat shield so will have slightly different aerodynamic properties and weight distribution vs the more conventional ships that we have mostly seen so far. I'm sure SpaceX has a pretty good handle on all of that HLS stuff via computer modelling but HLS is a NASA project so NASA might be pushing for some more physical validation points (real life demos) in the HLS development plan.
I get Elon wanting to keep B4S20 but poor SN15 😭😭😭
Slow the slide of old/new shots and slide a zoom of critical changes...
Ship 20 won't need lifting hooks. It'll launch from the Rocket Garden and be the first ship to be caught by the chopsticks.😉
That is a heck of a theory. I'm in.
There's a very good reason SpaceX doesn't patent their groundbreaking innovations such as their Raptor Engines and how to re-fly and guide a booster back to a safe landing. Patents are a Scam in that they expire, then making your inventions/innovations/processes Public information. Yea, you can do slight modifications to a patent and stretch out it copyright protection, but the original idea is then released for public scrutiny.
It's the same reason Elon will interview critical new-hires as SpaceX Must try to protect against industrial espionage. EM has delt w/ industrial espionage before w/ a Subaru engineer infiltrating/spying on Tesla. It's highly likely there are others as well. SpaceX has made Great progress into perfecting their StarShip & Super Heavy assembly processes using Stainless Steel and keeping it from prying eyes is Much better than a patent.
They're developing a Much cheaper way to build rockets and If all this works, everybody in the industry is gonna want to know how to copy them if they don't already.
Have you seen China's drawings of their proposed recoverable Rocket Boosters?, they look almost Exactly like a Falcon 9. Yea, SpaceX wanting some privacy w/ their assembly processes doesn't surprise me a bit.
Nice work on this. Btw, Biden justice department suing SpaceX; it is likely that FAA will not make things easy for SpaceX.
One has nothing to do with the other.
@@TheEvilmooseofdoomreally lol. Mayor Pete reports to...
@@girkgirkus7236 You fools will buy anything. I don't expect that to change. None of you are terribly bright.
Wait .. there's more 😂😂.. positive affirmations .. Wario
It is obvious that you can't do comparisons of two pictures without putting them side by side. Showing two pictures, one after another and asking people to compare them, is very stupid, regardless of size.
It is not really pronounced "DAY-luge" it is actually pronounced "DELL-huge"
Please stop posting videos stating the FAA problems are fixed. The FAA didn't recommend any fixes spaceX did a investigation of what went wrong and fixed all the problems or are fixing them currently.
The FAA only reviews this Mishap report and either agrees/disagrees/ asks for further info of the refered fixes before giving clearance to fly once they are satisfied.
For the FAA to actually do the investigation themselves would be counter InuitIve as they wouldn't have a clue what they are looking at since they didn't design it.
Not having a go just it's kinda misleading of what the actual process is.
TO MUCH RETALK OVERR THINGS KNOWN?
EVERY ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THE TOTAL SITE
WHAT THE AIMS ARE?ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS DATE DAY TIME
SO ELONS SITE WILL BE BETTER TO CHECK
