Let's go
godspeed IFT5
What is the speed of god?
Looks like starbase avoided Beryl which is great and I see cranes standing back up already! :)
Im from Chile, but there is no way im missing watching the chopsticks catch B12, my credit card will hate me.😂
Mom nsf uploaded!
change my diaper
@@saintuk70 bro wtf 💀
mom I need some milk
A great update as usual thank you very much.
Ryan and NSF, y'all rock! Peace
Can't wait to see a catch at the pad!
💯. The chat will very likely go nuclear 😅
5:23 it looks like the tower segments are being permanently attached to those shorter stands that they were placed on at Sanchez. there are lots of good pictures on various sites that if you pay attention, you can see those little extensions being attached and painted. They are even installing a wider cross brace that’s how the towers getting taller each segment is growing by a couple feet.
I hadn't seen that before. If that's true, then it would explain a lot about Tower B construction. I hope this gets picked up and mentioned in the next update.
Assembling prefabricated sections is definitely the way to go.
Just look at how quickly ocean-going ships are made using that construction philosophy.
It's a little deceptive. The parts have been around for a long time before final assembly.
Great video footage Mary, Jack, Sean, & SBL! Awesome commentry Ryan!! Thank you NSF for another awesome Starbase Update!!!
Happy to watch this on my birthday❤
Happy Birthday.
@@danielalejandroochoaalvare590 Happy birthday !🎁
@@ghost307 thanks!
Happy Birthday.
From one Dan to another, Happy Birthday.🥳
It’s been about a year now, don’t think we still need “formally known as Twitter”
Most of us are naturally thinking up solutions to the perceived problems at Starbase, so no need to apologise. I've almost given up worrying about them, the incredible achievements thus far continue to lessen my concerns.
Hurricane Beryl just "Beryling" down the coast...
I'll see myself out...
Thanks for the Update once again
I wholeheartedly believe that the Hurricane was specifically placed by Blue Origin and ULA to attempt to demolish Starbase
Bezos hiring witch doctors to make that happen isn't as ridiculous as it really should be. I could see him doing that
Love these updates. Thank you for the great work you all do!
CONGRATS ON 1,000,000 SUBS!!!! LOVE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO!!! KEEP IT GOING!!!!!
Great work, Ryan! Very clear and precise enunciation, with humor sprinkled in when least expected.
It shrinks when it gets cold? I can relate.
thank you for keeping us informed
Great job
Thanks Ryan and NSF team. Great update.
Thank you Ryan, lots of great information on many aspects of Starbase and Starship! You do a great job!
Thanks
The ablative survace below the actual heatshield looks genious. It would absolutely remove most risks involved with plasma passing through the heatshield as well as missing tiles, but since it's just a backup layer that hardly would take all the heat it wouldn't need to be replaced everytime like other capsules, making it reusable.
A centimeter off at one, two or three of the corners at the base can lead to a huge issue by the time you reach the top of the tower causing leaning or massive stresses on the structure.
I am sure they will have better tolerances than that.
1 cm difference between two corners (about 150 cm apart) would become 100 cm at the top of the tower.
No engineer would ever accept that.
Always with the armchair engineers
Sorry but I am an engineer.
All hail the mighty CC 8800-1!
They need to start calling the CC8800-1 crane "Big Yellow"
Yea, it's painful hearing him and WAI insist on speaking every number... 🤣
Granted, I admit it's because I'm an American and am used to the fact we streamline stuff like that. It's not a Ford _Eff-Three-Five-Zero,_ but an _Eff-Three-Fifty._ Same with Chevy... their equivalent pickup is a _Thirty-Five-Hundred_ (3500) 😊
As such... _Eighty-Eight-Hundred Dash One_
So yea... I'm onboard with Big Yellow, or Super Mega Crane _(ala SuperHeavy Booster)_
That cc something something number crane can more easily be called "T Rex" 😅
Ship 31 is Sparky!
nice video.
Guessing Flight 5 will happen within the first few weeks of August, or the middle of said month.
Early September for sure for IFT5. Things never happen quicker in giant projects.
8/8 works for me, but I was really hoping for a July 20 launch to honor Apollo 11.
I think the work will be done on tower 2 by the end of August. IFT-5 I think will fly the second week of August
Perhaps the tower itself won't be taller, but maybe the OLM will be shorter?
Elon said the tower will be taller. If the sections are only a few feet taller, that will add up.
Zack Golden said the base is 1.5m taller than the original.
Early to mid august is my guess. Hurricane delays not accounted for.
2:38 yes
Landing the Starship Booster on the Oil rig platform using the Mechazilla's Chopstick would be a much safer option in case something does go wrong.
Four to five weeks in Elon Time. Even in Elon Time, that's quite a conservative estimate if we only had to add a couple of weeks to Elon's estimate.
That new crane can be called Sissy Spacek (CC SpaceX)
Report all of the bots everyone
Heh, YT has a problem with the boob and arse bots that always throw in the first 10 comments. We hide them every time, but there's a lot of them!
Boob and arse bots lol , yep going to be 49 this year hopefully I'll make it to 69
Would make sense to make a high bay at massey's for engine installation and what not so ships don't have to go back and forth between production and testing sites
Perhaps the tower will be, for the time being, the same height as pad A but will be upgraded with additional sections (oops, modules) later on when needed.
They could 3D print the vulnerable flap hinge metal parts in Inconel, which should provide much greater robustness against hot plasma than stainless steel, without much additional cost or design changes and no significant mass or cost increase.
👍
I wonder if they will end up with flaps more like the space shuttle with the pivots not exposed ?
In Ver2, the nose ones will be further back and out of the slipstream.
However, Elon said that one the camera was on, was actually the only one that burned through. _(which makes me wonder if it was intentional, like the other test points where they removed tiles in order to see how resilient things are, but they're not admitting it 🤷♂️)_
So with thicker tiles AND ask ablative mat, this might be enough to prevent it from happening on the tail flaps.
End of July for flight 5
Extra parts for pad B may not exist - they may be fabbed on site.
🥂🥂
Traditionally the crane would be pronounced "CC Eghity-eight hundred"
And the " felt" is basically the same idea as fiberglass but made with ceramic. it's called kaowool, its used in furnaces and foundries
and oh boy, you want to talk about dust that's not good for you, that's up there (new sheets aren't that bad, but once they have been worked they start to turn to powder
Why are station fires still being done at the launch pad instead of Masseys on the new test stand? I thought that was the whole point of the test stand
So glad that Beryl is coming as a tropical storm to Starbase and not as a major hurricane. Can't imagine what Starbase would look like after what it did to my country as a Category 4.
good to see ships cadence decrease exponentially
"hurricun"
Considering the sucess of flight five, It's tge 1st time I actually see Elon's "4 weeks" as an actuall possibility. Although slipping one or teo would be most likely
*draws a path of the hurricane over Starship with a sharpie*
Crane Looks Like Big Bird...
How do the people in the factory that make the CC 8800-1 talk about the crane?
"yeah Phill, we need those 2 3/4 plates for the cc 8800-1 in the back ------- yeah, serial number E1042 ----- no, I said the CRANE CC 8800-1, Phill. not the part... no... the CRANE --- the CRANE Phill --- the CC 8800-1 serial number E1042 in the back"
September please.
It would be crazy not to make the tower taller. Better for catches even if they don't build taller rockets.
Hurrican 😂 love your accent brotha keep up the good work!
It will launch by labor Day. next one wont be ready till what?, November?
what ship and booster is next to fly? by the way the throat mounted mic is too bassey
8-8-2024
Still amazing engineering/luck with the flap having that much heat damage, yet still maneuvering, AND held on!
hurruhcun
In regards to the taller tower situation, I don’t think there will be any extra “modules”, if they are going to be building a flame trench could it be possible to resemble the one over at the test site (but way bigger)? And if it is it will have a much lower profile to the ground unlike the current OLM, bringing the base of the stack way closer to the ground. So instead of going up there going down? Just a thought. 🤔😁
If you watch the Elon interview, he said the tower will be taller.
@@dogbreath6974 oh yeah I’ve seen the interview, it’s just the lack of the extra module/ parts for said module. That’s what got me thinking, as the OLM is on essentially stilts and the flame trench will possibly be much closer to ground level.
👍👍👍🇮🇳
they never catch it next laucnh it will destroy the pad bad idea
Nah. It's only 3 engines and much higher up.
@@motokid6008 I know it’s not a lot of fuel but I bet you they will not try it if the next tower is not ready or almost ready for the next launch
Idea why don’t Space X build 4 towers and run High tension cables in between the four towers creating a square in the centre of the four towers to catch the booster. So the booster drops into square and the four cable close using a horizontal mechanism. Then once the booster is caught it can be lowered by releasing the tension on the cable onto the moving platform and then moved back to the tower to be lifted by the arms back onto the launch pad. Seems a lot safer than risking taking one of the towers out. I don’t know what the physics implications would be to construct something like this but it seems it would be hell of a lot safer that what their going to attempt. Don’t be harsh on me if you think it’s a stupid idea, just would like to know if this would be possible by someone who’s in the know.👍
China is working in this idea but with a much smaller rocket. They created an animation for it.
Would be far more challenging to build it in a scale needed here.
The easiest solution is to add landing legs like the do with Falcon 9 booster.
They are not looking for anyway to land it but rather a way to land it that maximizes mass to orbit and minimizes turn around time.
Perhaps we can abbreviate the crane name by calling it CC-8? xD
Under 1 hour gang

"...there's a good chance booster 12 will be on the pad, or in Oz on a whitches house..."
👀🚀🚧👍👾👾👾
It's the National Hurricane CENTER (not SERVICE).
The Tower is already going to be higher isn't it, they just built an additional 1st section at the bottom
Your a pretty boy .
Houston, you have a problem
You Brits, always butchering the English language. It's hurri-cane, not hurri-cun. I should know, I'm American and my wife's English. 😂
Macbeth, method, metal, petal, why are we pronouncing methane as meethane?🤣
english is Dumb
He is Bri’ish.
How THIS for odd/comical...
I'm American, but have watched so much space stuff that when it comes to _celestial objects,_ I say MEEthane... (at least I do in my head 🤔)
When it comes to cows, garbage dumps emissions, or SH/SS's fuel, I say METHane! 🥴😅
Zero views in 14 seconds … bro fell 😮
Dude you need to fix your hair.
🤜@Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro); awesome show. How about a permanent on-screen-display, in a corner maybe, showing the next Flight, Ship and Booster config (e.g.: F5-S30-B12)? I'm too slow to keep track of all the numbers you talk about😁
