The bird and other labels are great additions.

[DarkTranqz]

This new format is awesome. Appreciate the labeled segments on the timeline as well.

Thanks NasaSpaceflight! I really like the clear shots and specially the new feature of marking the specials spots with info...

[jasoncasey]

The new information bubbles are such an awesome addition! Thank you so much for capturing all the great footage

[timothypirnat]

Thanks for labeling pertinent parts. It really improves my understanding of the processes taking place.

[adamwheeler]

Ps. its great don't stop

[pipersall]

Great opening shot, Mary. Thank you for another great video. I like the overlays. 'Bird' was cute.

[GypsyTinker]

I'm LOVING the adding info bits! Awesome work, Mary and the gang! Thanks for all you do!

When I was little my family went to a science museum, and after looking around a bit we stopped at the indoor cafe for lunch. The entire ceiling of the main lobby/cafe was a giant marble run with 16 inch marbles. I sat there for about an hour just staring at the thing. It was by far the coolest lunch ever. And now SpaceX flexes on that by eating lunch under a flying water tower.

[GerardHammond]

One of the best doco's yet! Solid. slow pans. Machines everywhere. This is the nitty gritty of manufacturing. Great stuff

[rocketman]

Man it gives me the chills every time I see new equipment, material and the large amount of people buzzing around. Really gives the impression that SpaceX is working hard to develop Starship and the infrastructure for it

[aarongoens]

seriously, what kind of human gives this video a thumbs down?? The new labels are mint. Thank you Mary!

Elon : reusability is key to enable a Mars civilization

SpaceX workers : *reuse Starhopper as lunch room*
