We are now doing weekly aerial flyovers depending on the support that we get. Our cost range from pilot fees to rental fees of the Cessna 150 that is used for the flyovers over the sites.
Thanks

Thank you!
Thanks Mauricio!
At 3:30 That looks very much like the elements of an ASU ( Air separation unit ) ( Oxygen production unit ) that I’m Comissioning for Air Liquide in Australia. The red articulated transporter delivered the low pressure and the high pressure column sections shown being offloaded by the two yellow cranes. These columns will be filled with either rock wool or perlite insulation. The side facing up will be covered before the columns are stood up vertically. The column foundations formwork are clearly visible right where the columns are being offloaded. The oxygen compressor is already sitting on its pad in the top left of the scene. The foundations shown at 4:07 could be the base for a liquid oxygen storage tank similar to what they already have at space launch complex 41 Cape Canaveral
Thank you for taking me out of the house for a fly by into the future.
It's amazing how fast is the progress that SpaceX are doing. The most enterprises only talk, but doesn't show me their progress.
Old steel rocket with new application s
At 3:35 you get a good view of the equipment being lifted by Grover on the 14th of January. Thanks for the flyovers.
I think that concrete pad will display one of the prototypes.
Or the SN8 remnants ?
@@tigertalar sn8 nosecone possibly
The larger new pad near by has some equipment on trailers that looks like a huge compressor and a gas separation column. If that is is the new LOX plant the little pad might be for a substantial holding tank.
It looks like they’re going to put a stand there because of the dark spots on the pad. I don’t think SN8 would fit on a stand, unless it’s specialized.
My guess is first one that lands from a flight, not a hop.
When it’s 3 days old and already outdated..... go SpaceX and thanks for the footage RGV
@4:00 I heard a rumor that the pad was going to be for SN5 or 6, looks like an SN platform for sure.
The small pad by the trailers could be a new water tower.
It seems like an obvious place to put the SN8 Nosecone
They built a new "water tower" near my home in San Antonio. The slab looked exactly the same with large mounting plates poured into the concrete.
I think it's a launch pad.
Giant windmill or stand for one of the old prototypes?
@@goochbootch3466 they could use SN.5 or SN.6 as watertowers. Put them on a stand and thats it.
The pad by the trailers was in last weeks flyover as well, but is not in the wide angle flyover from the 10th... my theory is it’s for the SN8 nose cone monument!
Well they crushed the nosecone last night/early this morning... so it’s not for that!
Wow... so good... RGV That is spectacular work!!! Nice.
Unless they remove the caravan park the only 2 things sensibly to place on the new pad is a water tower, display stand or possibly a raised observation deck/restaurant.
looking good sn9
Stunning details as always, cranes working on cranes. I hadn't even paid any attention to those new foundations being worked on to the west.
I still cannot fathom how aggressive the mission at hand is. I was down here over Christmas, and SN-9 is one tough girl.
Love the change in music!
Wonderful footage. Thank you.
GREAT clarity and detail on the videos. Imagine if Boca Chica was a government operation??!!
Thank you Mauricio. Fantastic footage as always!
Good luck Mauricio. Go team space!!
Let's hope SN10 doesn't go down SN9's path in the high bay!
Great Images. Thanks for the show :D
3:49 -- QUESTION: who gets to live in the 23-trailers rather than having to live off-site?
I see they're patching SN8's P.O.I.
That was awesome
Awesome video. Thank you
Excellent work.
Great work
Hardly any cars in the car park? guessing people have taking time off during Christmas/New Year break?
The future will be fantastic
: As usual outstanding photography. (Ariel). 🐢🛩🐢🛩🐢🛩
Stunning...
thanks!
Thanks for what you do. One request/suggestion, would you ever consider labeling some of the various ships seen under construction in the panning shots (SN9, SN10, BN1 etc)? Since we're mostly following due to obsession with SS development, it would be helpful for seeing the progress of each article towards completion
Doing that on my next video, Thank you for the suggestion
Love you lot thank you so much
Brilliant video, how long before they build more mid/high bays and launch pads?
I think the high bay is the last single structure like the bays. There might be a small building or two still to come but I'm expecting them to start something really big soon for the production factory.
beautiful
Great view of the site
OMG..... SO much crap everywhere. That's worse than my apartment! .... except that my apartment doesn't make rockets to fly to space and mars and wherever...... lol
That's actually pretty amazing just how much work and activity there is almost everywhere on such a relatively small site. Very impressive.
It'll be used for a fresh water storage and pressure tower.
🚀 Great Show, Keep Up the Great Work.❗ 👍
Square cut out of the landing pad.
Didn't realize they replaced the impact zone of SN8. Damage didn't seem that bad.
Damage wasn't that bad, the problem is the concrete was broken and that would allow the landing rocket exhaust to excavate chunks of it that could damage the ship.
You can see the square concrete cut out at around 6:20. SN9 isn't landing there for at least a week.
4:00 New launching pad !
Top
Thanks, the Spacex parking lot is a bit empty eh?????
Flyover was done yesterday, day off for many at the site.
Cool to see :) little bit surprised by mess allover this place
What do you expect when your building rockets at warp speed well building all the facilities to build launch and land the rockets that you're actually already building.
@@deannelson9565 professional clean work space mess = accidents trust me
4:00 Permanent display for SN8 nose cone?

Make it even cool 😎 on the video. Just some lines indicating where’s what on the picture, it’s bound to draw a lot of buzz and superb views, you rock boss, just the right music amazing 🤩
Looks like they are building an ASU near the old gas well. They're going to need the LIN and LOX volume.
If you mean an air liquefaction facility (Air Separation Unit?) then I agree. A recent environmental impact statement said they'll be installing one.
I agree. That looks very much like the elements of an ASU that I’m Comissioning for Air Liquide in Australia. The red articulated transporter delivered the low pressure and the high pressure column sections shown being offloaded by the two yellow cranes. These columns will be filled with either rock wool or perlite insulation. The side facing up will be covered before the columns are stood up vertically. The column foundations formwork are clearly visible right where the columns are being offloaded.
Hey man thanks! Any way I can support you non-financially?
New pad near build/old gas site possibly wind turbine?
Without certainty, the Sanchez site will possibly be a future liquid oxygen plant.
Looks like landing pad need to be repaired before next flight
4:00 place for snd-8/5/6 mabey ?
Blue
Looks like a pad for a very large gas processing tower.
do they have any RAIL access to that site
Is that new pad for the BFR super heavy?
also is there a archive one can access
When sn8 crashed did it crack the concrete or weaken the slab i know they used a lot of rebar?
it looked quite messed up! Looked like the engine bells got quite a bit through the concrete.
water tower maybe?
@ 4:00 water tower.
Answer to question asked 4.05. Engine testing stand.
Whats the expected launch date/week ??
These shots give a new meaning to "turns on a point"!
Avoid the "moose spiral", OK!?
Get your PPL, and soon!

What day will the Static fire take place in case you know?
January, 4th.
@@KarinMurati Oh ok thanks
Are you staying at 1000' ?
172 or 152 ??
I think he has to stay above 1800’.
We fly at altitude of 2100-3000ft msl (above the tfr)
@@RGVAerialPhotography what is your homebase/departure airport, please?
@@Gruxxan Harlingen, I think.
@@Atomsk102 thanks i just want to fly in MSFS 😁
I love how they are building a high-tech rocket on a construction site.
White
Why not just use a DJI ? save $200 per hour ...
No public drones allowed.
only a decent camera combined with a telephoto lens allows you to take that kind of footage from afar. with the drone you would have to fly much too close to the facility.
4:20 Bottom left, someone is illegally parked
Not explanned.
Boca Chica rocket p__n.
Water tower 100%
comment
A question, why is there no one in the top-management who make these workplaces look like
a proffesional rocket factory?
Sorry but in my eyes, it looks like an old Iron junk-yard, what a unorganised mess.
I had aspect a more organised place from Elon like His Tesla factories.
Management will be in the way of progress, they have no intention building rockets, only their job
They are prototyping! They don't yet know how they are going to manufacture and launch and land the final product. When they have all that nailed down they will build a super efficient facility (and not necessarily here as I believe their permit is to build and test only, not launch). This is still an ongoing construction site.
Blue Origin built a professional rocket factory for their New Glenn rocket. Took them years and years to put it up because they had to have the rocket design done and frozen so they could design the factory. SpaceX has been building this shipyard as they go along. They're doing several construction projects at once simultaneous with building and launching rockets.
Have you even seen a makerspace? Maybe Adam’s Tested cave? That’s a makerspce for rockets
because looks are not that important, results are :).
