Historical Super Heavy Full Stack Time Lapse

Показать описание

02/09/2022 SpaceX successfully stacks Starship 20 on Booster 4 using the Orbital Launch Integration Tower. S20 was rolled into position on 02/08/2022. The following day the catch/lift arms were put into action. The article was lifted and rotated into place just before lowering it and securing it by what seems to be radio communication as no humans were in sight. The entire stacking event lasted the entire day with the majority of the activity happening after dark. This event marks a moment in history in which the world's largest and most power rocket has been stacked by the world's largest robotic tower.

A big feat for spacex! It's not always that you see a company making a giant robotic arm tower to stack their massive rockets!

And again, the time-lapse magic shows evolutions that ar much harder to catch in real time. I'll go back to watch this historical stack again.

Wow the stabilizer really moved the booster a lot when it reengaged itself. I wonder where all that play came from if the base was secured. Did the booster bow that much?

Another amazing view from @Labpadre. . . .in Krazy Kaarl speed no less....thx for the visual experience ▶️〰️🎬

Wow, you had all the best angles... seeing the qd claw in operation was so cool!

Love all the technical details showing the SpaceX Booster 4 & Starship rocket, including the quick disconnect arm👍.

Anyone else get a kick out of the elevator going up and down every couple seconds? lol

Been around this for a while but, I'm stumped! Are they having to keep the stack fully fueled so it doesn't collapse under the weight?

Grats! This quality beat NSF by a long mile!

Well, the "4/20" reference for this video has a big hidden meaning doesn't it now

Congratulations to SpaceX team. But I d'ont trust at black shields. Hmm!!!

It's terrifying to see the arms moving so close to the heat shields.
Do the arms have to come that close?

долгое, но потрясающее центрирование 🚀

If you watch it like this and think about how fast it will be in the end, I would say the fastest would be average elevator speed, so it is still comfortable for people ...asuming that they would board before stacking. But I guess there will be a third boarding arm in future set ups
