- SpaceX is preparing a test of a Chopstick Test Article B14.1, which will likely verify some of the forces the Chopsticks will have to endure during a catch attempt. Meanwhile, over at the Production Site, Ship 30 is receiving more and more tiles, while at the launch area the second tower is advancing.

NSF is a serious part of my daily entertainment fix! I just love diving into the superb content 🏆
Mary is a superb videographer. Also, watching her current tower construction clips makes me feel 4 years younger. 😉
Dang the end of an era with those vertical tanks being gone. That CC8800 crane is hot.
never heard of someone having crane fetish lol
That "Ablatve" layer looks just like a silicon baking sheet, but larger 😅
Thanks for the close up views NSF team. Much appreciated 👍.
Thank you Sean, Mary, Jack and the entire NSF team for sharing his amazing updates. I really can't wait for the next few weeks for an attempt number five
I like this video format the best. You can really see and hear what it is like at the site with uninterrupted audio from the site. I prefer this to having a voiceover or presenter. And Mary is a great videographer, photographer.
Awesome video footage Mary, Sean, & SBL, Thank you so much!!!
That concrete pump boom at 6:49 looks like a creature's proboscis as it feeds.
Mini 14.1's would make great earrings for Elysia!
Thank raw footage is brain candy for this bedbound shedding so thank you.
It's good to be born in the USA and have the chance to work at the Starbase...
that new Edome is beautiful
Huge investment, hope the data pays off. V2 and Raptor 3 on the horizon. Catch baby!
That strange dome is for the in space fuel depot
how much more mass/weight to the starship with the underlay, makes it much harder to reach orbit!
thank you mary
if theyre starting to work on the tower sections, then surely that means stacking is getting pretty close
Tell " Star Hopper " their doing a Great Job
Keep it Up
8:43 bottom right dude looks like a train robber lol
9:38 HLS?
Driverless high-speed rail and drone transportation systems need to be established here to facilitate logistics transportation.
So the weird e-dome; reinforced booster dome for starship separation?
There are already a couple of capsules docked at ISS. Those would be a better choice to use to get those two astronauts back home.
4:00 The flap is so much bigger than i realized 😮
very nice 👌
At 2:50, plasma deflection tiles?
When is next shipment arrival from KSC due? (tower sections and attachments) TIA
what modification they done on tiles?
I have just 3d printed a SpaceX Starship & I don’t know which Ship. 24 or 29? What’s your recommendation?
Llike parachuting speed is 70 mile hour + wait increases over the cable snaps all the chopsticks lower itself to compensate for Speed.
In one of my post l said the tower need to be higher.
some of those tiles look really, really, really thick.
That’s a big crane
Pretty sure spacex has about half of the man lifts in Texas now
The new crane shall be named BIG BIRD
GODZIRRA!
What’s up with Ship 31?
Double skinned “thermos” tanks maybe needed for orbital fuel depot.
So can u zoom onto them now pls
Will they test catching other boosters first or just the next starship launch catching that booster
They will launch S30/B12.
I'd love to see a special booster and special Starship with 3 engines and small fuel and oxidizer tanks launch and land over and over.
Sorry, but that will not happen.
👍
Actually a V2 edome
Heavy crane work at night, all pro
Hey bro i heard you like cranes, so i got a crane to help build the crane that builds my crane.
🥂🥂
I hear Elon says the new tower will have extra sections added to make it taller for V2 Starship.
Well they’re going to have to make it taller sooner or later, especially for V3!
Yeah, which is interesting because we haven't seen any materials or work for more sections. I guess they'll be made once the start stacking the existing ones!
When it comes to the heat shield tiles I’d just love to mess with those guys, like you missed one over here😂😂😂
Will minitank hover, and get caught by the chopsticks?
Maybe it will do a virtual hover if it's lowered by the LR 11,000 crane?!
No it will remain attached to the OLM and the chopsticks will be lifted up simulating a catch.
I really love all of your content and am very vigilant to ensure I watch every video. The new orange band you guys are using on your thumbnails is making it very difficult to see if I have or have not seen the video though. This may be intentional to make people click a second time on a video to double check if they have seen it, but personally, I really don't like it. Keep up the excellent work, coverage and research!
: Loving the CC-8800-1 CRAWLER CRANE. Does it look beefier than the original crane? Will they add additional sections like the last time to complete the job?
🐢 🏗 🐢 🚀 🐢 😀
Yes. There is an additional section for the double wide span and several others for the latter single wide section. They will probably only need those for the last two tower sections.
@ericpaul4575 : I enjoy watching them assemble and add on more sections and disassemble the Liebherr 1100 crane or 11000. I'm not sure about the number. LOL. And, of course, building the tower. I love watching them build this space stuff. 🏗 🚀 🏗 🚀 🏗 🚀
👋🥰👍
There’s a bunch of hard-working, smart motherfuckers working for Elon, he’s one of the few companies out there that are making life great for a lot of people!
Stubby booster
This is 10 minutes of my life I will never get back.
You stated you weren’t going to talk and let us hear the engines, and six seconds later, you started talking as the rockets left the pad. Disappointing
