Almost There! SpaceX Prepares to Catch the World's Largest Rocket - SpaceX Weekly #129

This week at Starbase SpaceX completed the stacking of the final module for their new launch tower. The catch arms on tower 1 also underwent a rigorous series of testing, and over at the build site, we get our first look at fuel system changes for the block 2 Starship. At Cape Canaveral, while Starlink launch and recovery operations continue at their usual pace, excitement builds ahead of the upcoming Polaris Dawn mission.

Thanks for watching this week's LabPadre Update!

Imagine being a steelworker and somehow finding yourself spending year after year at Starbase building awesome structures. What an opportunity.

Really enjoy your videos. They are so professional, comprehensive yet succinct and efficient. They don’t get overly emotional which it great, science is serious. This is not your everyday kinda of channel. Thanks again.

Starship's internal plumbing running down the middle seems like it will limit the type of payload it could carry.

Was hoping next episode would feature BO's new barge coming in Aug 30 but Marine Traffic now says it is heading to Norfolk arriving late Aug 28.
