Good job catching this! I always wanted to see this process up close.

[jamesp]

Great video, amazing how you’re able to get so close

Good to see these Flawless Vids again! Cheers!

Seem to be on there proper, or just taking it gently for a demolition job?

I wonder how heavy this insulation can get if it is soaked with rain and fog and how long it takes to dry again?
Thanks for the cover, SG!

[StephenShard]

They sure look really hard to remove. Good thing they only have to take them off around the weld line where the stainless steel barrels are connected together, before the ship can be cut into pieces and be pulled apart on the ground. Thanks for the very insightful short video!

What is the job title for guys like this?

[GarajPif]

Why wouldn't they use airguns?
In most cases they just love working around the rocket garden and OLM.

I imagine Elon standing at the bottom making rocket noises and doing arm movements and declaring “no we lost too many tiles on take off AGAIN! Back to the drawing board….”

Seriously how many insulation tile iterations have they gone through before even getting off the ground!?

[Jonathan_McD]

Not being delicate, that's for sure.

The method of installing this protector is very important, the space shuttle exploded because there was loose ceramic. With Elon's poor track record compared to the space shuttle, it's just a matter of time before someone dies
