The spmts roll onto the test pad, the trench has a huge concrete and steel lid that covers the trench under the test stand, once stand dropped in place, spmts roll out and the lid on trench moves across to open under the ship. Merry Christmas to all at NSF 🎉🎉
Anybody else remember when a Static Fire would shake off (min.) 30% of the upper stage’s mass in heat shield tiles? 😂😂 Update: 9:10 - yes, that is exactly what it’s designed for! It’ll be a “shower head” on top of the launch mount and that plate will interface with the launch pad when installed.
In the Marine Corps I would go to briefings and the officers would spout off abbreviations left and right and the enlisted personal would have no idea what they were talking about. Nobody would ask what the abbreviations meant as to not sound stupid which lead to people being stupid because they didn’t know what was going on. The best practice is to just say the full name as if hearing it for the first time. It may be annoying but the video isn’t for you, it’s for the viewers. Keep up the good work!
I wonder if they at some point enclose the towers with concrete plates all the way up at some point. That should stabilize the tower a little bit more when connected to the tower structure, because of the additional mass, when ships and boosters are landing.
The flaps may be manufactured off-site due to manufacturing techniques such as welding titanium. Does it look like Pad A OLM be decommissioned and replaced by the new design?
I don't see why they put signs up lol. I went for flight 6 and was pretty disappointed to not get to see the Starbase sign again cuz it was blocked with cars. Waiting for that to be gone too ig
Enjoy your relaxed ‘off the cuff’ commentaries John. All the commentators at NSF are good but Jack ‘barking out’ the latest updates gives me headaches and those ‘fancy droppers’ of Aleysia can get a bit distracting on times. 😊
John/Das.. hello.. stupid question, the Pad B OLM is going to be many tonnes heavy when completed, how the hell are they going to move it to Tower Two.. Cheers and Happy Holidays from the UK.
You're allowed to _ramble_ on, Das, but also perhaps focus on video and **explain** some stuff, some of your monologues roll over three captions by your team. 😊

Merry Christmas to all at NSF 🎉🎉
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄
Those are mortar tubes for the fireworks display on New Year's Eve... not something for Pad B's OLM. It's what the fireworks are launched out of.
Must have missed that label. 🤣 - Das
Hello Nerds! 🎄✨
Yes, water cooled top plate.
Keep up the great content as always, TEAM NASASpaceflight!
Merry Christmas, SpaceX.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AT NSF 🎅🤶🎄
I'll never understand why this channel isn't flooded with people to point it's locking up from overload.
Love these updates with Das.
Yes I do believe there is a ramp that slides out at the static fire spot for the spmts and yes the deck with be water cooled on the new OLM
Really love the two audio track option! Thank you

Das, you crack me up! 😅
Oh no what did I say this time? 🤣 - Das
@@NASASpaceflightwe love you Das 😂
02:16 Mortar tubes for Fireworks ?
My very first thought. Looks like fireworks on NYE at Starbase!
awesome christmas parade great job space x
Those "palletized" tanks fall under the category of Intermediate bulk containers or IBC for short.
That sounds familiar... thanks! - Das
Thanks Mary! You always get good shots.
Nice Job John as always!
NSF,y'all rock! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, y'all! Peace
The flaps are composite structures bonded in an autoclave.
Wishing everyone a merry Christmas 🎉
John, the term you are looking for is modular.
Items that are a particular size and dimension, like pallets, crates, containers, etc.🤙
3:09 SPMTs were generally just called "transporters" in the field in my old days at work.
Happy Christmas!!!
that sounds cursed lol
Merry early Christmas 🎁
It has appeared for a few weeks that top deck of OLM B will be water cooled b
Merry Christmas🎄🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas
Post all the starbase pictures you want. We want the work to be seen by the world.

@nasaspaceflight what’s up nerds?!
God i wish i could have been there when the chrismas Parade happend
you're correct Das! the new olm will be water cooled on top
I wonder if they at some point enclose the towers with concrete plates all the way up at some point.
That should stabilize the tower a little bit more when connected to the tower structure,
because of the additional mass, when ships and boosters are landing.
PS, the top of the pancake for the Flame Trench is for Sound Suppression.
how are they going to move orbital launch mount 2?
Thanks Das, Merry Christmas to all us nerds❤️to👀,❤️Mary & all the NSF team thankful for all you do for the stream, Mr. Bergin thanks for everything!
Yes Das they announced water cooled deck
need the shirt - Work Continues at the OLM
bet that inflatable starship was the easiest load transported by spmt. 😎
Elon mentioned it a while back, the olm will be water cooled
The flaps come from "Flaps R' Us".
yay!!!!!!!
Just pleased you know what verb conjugation means. What part of Germany are you from?
The high-school Latin part? 😅 - Das
yes
the top deck is going to be water cooled
Das!
@nasaspaceflight What’s up nerds!!!
Why did one of the Nosecones have red tiles near the top?
How about a sign over the nose cone stations stating “now servicing SN:X”
ThanX NSF...
Are you going to release a 2025 Callander.???
Flight 7 will be on 23 or 26 in December 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉go for flight starship and booster 33/14 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤lets go
There is a cover that rolls over the trench Das
Orbital Launch Mount is 5 syllables. OLM is 3 syllables. Surely, 2 syllables aren't that hard.
The flaps may be manufactured off-site due to manufacturing techniques such as welding titanium.
Does it look like Pad A OLM be decommissioned and replaced by the new design?
I don't see why they put signs up lol. I went for flight 6 and was pretty disappointed to not get to see the Starbase sign again cuz it was blocked with cars. Waiting for that to be gone too ig
It's typical to flood the OLM decks during a launch even with a flame trench.

John/Das.. hello.. stupid question, the Pad B OLM is going to be many tonnes heavy when completed, how the hell are they going to move it to Tower Two.. Cheers and Happy Holidays from the UK.
Multiple SPMTs just like the first OLM.
I’M DYING!!
Y’ALL NEED TO WATCH THIS ON .25x speed!!
Das Sounds SO Sloshed!!😂🤣💀👌🏼
Hi das 😊
Hi again, Mom. It's a comfort knowing that no matter what happens, our videos will always have at least 1 view. 😅 - Das
Modular pressure tanks
Summery? Looks a bit wintery to me!
Two drums and a cymbal fell of a cliff
What's the best time to visit the dentist? Two Thirty.
We miss hearing Julia’s voice & input 🙂
We'll have to get her out to Starbase for a launch! - Das
Cascade system
👍👍👍👍
Were there two inflatable raptors on the top of that I flateable Srarship??
To the moon, Alice.😊
Hi
Das, just do a pined comment with a list of common SpaceX acronym's for those who need them.
Kleenex is what you wipe your nose with.
Conex is a generic term for cargo containers.
Stainless is a "fairly" miserable conductor.
Call the construction machines Tonka toys
Later nerds
Great footage Daz as always ...Happy Christmas ....Great work @NASASpaceflight 🚀🔥✨
When I steal your images I always photoshop out the scratch.
DOGE needs to look at how often they move their signs.😂
Hey, if you're going to build a company town out of Starbase, you might as well provide entertainment.
Haha! But all Starships are inflatable!
You definitely are leaving some folks out by your insider talk, but then, maybe it's not new folks who watch these videos?
2nd
You're allowed to _ramble_ on, Das, but also perhaps focus on video and **explain** some stuff, some of your monologues roll over three captions by your team. 😊
Hey, sometimes that's the most interesting thing. 😅 - Das
Don’t waste money on the intro. Buy more cameras.
Er, what? - Das
