The fast motion filming coupled with the ambient sounds has a magical and joyful quality

What impresses me the most in SpaceX. Is them building infrastructure, facility and prototyping rocket all at the same time at insane speed.
Like always love you videos great job guys!!

[BryanBlock]

I CANNOT get me enough of high bay construction!!! You guys (and gal) ROCK!! And wow, it's got a huge footprint! A lot will happen in there in a short while...

[petrokansis]

🚀🦖Thanks Mary and NSF, Really anticipate these updates, its first thing I do every day!

[Naultarous]

6:30 That is an amazing shot. Construction in the for foreground of what will be the tallest structure and far in the background the current tallest things, MB and Bluezilla. Just a spectacular view.

I misread "expansion" as "explosion" and it scared the hell out of me for a second!

[kevinmartin]

Mary, with your long term experience of observing the facilities from the beginning, I wouldn't mind hearing your personal comments or feelings about what's happening or what we're looking at in your videos! Keep up the great work!

[haydenarchambault]

Cool stuff.
Windbreaker= Fairing sections.
Mid bay= Starship tank sections.
High bay= Supeavy boosters.

Eventually: Starship tanks roll out from the mid bay to be integrated with fairings from the windbreaker, then roll to the launchpad where they will wait for superheavy to be rolled from the high bay to the launchpad.

Thanks BCGal & team; you're the best at what you do.

[GeneSimonalle]

Mary, did you get a shotgun mic? The audio of the two guys on the chain hosts at the top of the high bay wall was great!

[tauraspace]

Thanks for all the great footage NSF Team! 👍 from the UK 🇬🇧

[karlepps]

This is totally absorbing - I wait for the daily update to see how this site and the SNs are progressing. As someone else has said, putting in the infrastructure at the same time as developing the Starship is amazing. It would be great if Mary and the team hooked up a 24/7 feed for the High Bay and SN5 work but in the absence of those I will continue to have a look at the daily feeds. Well done Mary and the team :-)

@4:15 To hell with that wobbly lift. 😱

[kroshtron]

8:36 - is CH2 supposed to be CH4? Their storing methane not methylene, yes?

[creenation]

Just jaw dropping!! Very nice watching all the Wonderful work & efforts that are going into this!!

Thank you very much and Take care. 🦅

Looks like they’re really getting close to completing the first bottom section of the new high bay now. I still can’t get my head around just how big this thing is actually going to be once it’s completed.

[istiles]

Wish they'd find a way to utilize the wind break, surely they could stash something in there ... glad Mary is friends with SpaceX security. Also, I pretty sure we're going to find it boring when all the construction is done and they're just focused on building amazing, civilization expanding Starships.
