John, I love your perspective of StarBase! The close ups of the GSE frosted was a great touch! Keep the Timelapse of Tower B coming! Quoting Felix “You Rock”!
I could see where 3x stadium sized tents made with ballistic fabric would be constructed as dust storm shelters to allow construction of dust mitigated landing surfaces that are free of FOD as well. It is much easier to control dust if you can keep it out to begin with. The problem hard to tackle is the stiction prone particles (due to small size) that works its way into all types of joints. And, that problem is likely going to require costly solutions at the beginning while new solutions can incrementally reduce the cost of managing dust.
The question now is how will the crane assembly be safely lowered to the martian surface, assembled, and mounted upright? Would the parts be parachuted in bouncing balls and rovered together? Or maybe the first human landing involves an assembly project and tent cities till more permnent infrastructure is constructed.
I worked on Delta IV Heavy launch complex in 2000, specifically the cryogenic propellant piping as a union pipefitter/welder, the propellant piping being liquid oxygen and hydrogen,was insulated by hermetically sealed jackets (a pipe within a pipe) with a vacuum drawn in the jacket to ensure proper flow of the propellant,even around the flanges and valves,was this overkill? I see exposed piping super cold..
Vacuum insulated pipes have been spotted at the ground fabrication facilities for the new tower, so they definitely seem to have concluded that they are the best choice of propellant piping.
Excellent with very nice relaxing music. Most enjoyable.

Stack! Stack! Stack!
That's pretty awesome

CAN"T WAIT!!!!
They're so big that they look super close to each other😂
I was always wondering - why they don't apply thermal insulation on pipe joints, after it had been welded together?
Dude can you imagine a private company outcompeting governments, governments..in the space industry.. it is just awesome beyobd words..

We should have a full tower by September early october..chopsticks by early January...I'm so excited I could🫛

Like the videos. How about "welcome" instead of the "no comment" placeholder label that opens the video.

no stacks till qd fixed..upper..but by monday..its spacex
👍👍👍🇮🇳
Who is the music name in the video?
What a good 'no comment' upload! This is bolt porn😅
