Inside SpaceX's Starship Factory (Starbase)

This video takes a look inside SpaceX's Starship production line and factory in Boca Chica, Texas. We'll look at the different parts of the factory, and how it has grown from just being an outdoor space to now having tents and buildings. And what lessons has Elon Musk learned from setting up the factories for Tesla cars, that he has brought over to SpaceX to build the Starship.

Other topics covered in this video include:
• Why SpaceX is building the Starship rocket upright
• Why is the Starship pointy
• The different ways Elon Musk is making things go faster - from doubling the number of employees in one weekend, to having his rocket engineers invent new machines that build the Starship
• Why has SpaceX built their launch pad and factory so close together
• How Elon could be practicing building a city on Earth with Starbase Texas, before building his colony on Mars
• How the factory is able to build 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• And SpaceX's plans of buying oil rigs to turn into floating launch platforms

This is a very good mini docu to me. I really love what spaceX is doing in Boca Chica. I love witnessing the future being written as we speak. New subscriber here+like.

Such high quality from a channel so small! What an incredible video, nice work!

NASA: we need 10 billion dollars for a new hanger .

Elon musk: chuck a tent over there and over there .

Hey um starskip is made of 4mm stainless steel. The 3mm was tested for sn7.2 but it hasnt reached full construction yet :)

Just look at what this man has accomplished in the last 20 years. I can only imagine what he will have accomplished in the next 20 years

@4:08 for those who don’t know (including creator of this video) that large circular structure is not used! It was supposed to be used to construct carbon fiber starship; however this structure was scrapped a very long time ago. This was done because the design moved to a stainless body rather than the carbon fiber body.

0:10 Audio fits so well with the video.

[wojtekatka]

5:13 For now they are using 4 mm thick steel, 3mm steel is in the testing phase (SN7.2) for now

Can't wait to see Starship take astronauts back to the moon with Artemis!

[endergamesbr]

wow, images I've never seen before. Great quality

[Raul]

Finally, someone did a research and represented the project realistically, without the FUD.
Small factual inconsistencies can be forgiven for overall quality of the video!

"is slightly worse, but it looks better"

This is how I decide to do everything in my life. Like yea it's worse but it's worth it looking better lol.

Elon musk be playing Factorio and Kerbal space program at the same time in real life

Basically SpaceX is kicking major butt and now im subscribing to this. I like it. Very detailed.

[christheother]

I thought this was going to be another re-hash of the other channels. Very impressed.

Lots of good inside pics, takes hours of research! Appreciate the work.

Small edit: They are made of 4mm thick rings. They are testing 3mm with test article 7.2 but as of yet, have not begun constructing rings out of 3mm thick steel, yet.

This was really insightful and interesting! Thanks for the video!

Innovation is a critical word which disappeared from Boeing and Lockheed's dictionaries a long time ago.

I've followed SpaceX closely since 2014 and watch every single NSF daily update vid as well as many streams as I can catch. Most channels that make these sort of videos miss the mark and just regurgitate the same old information but I actually learnt some stuff from this so well done
