I greatly enjoy these episodes. There is no talking, no music, just straightforward action and a touch of sound effects to clearly report what is going on at SpaceX. The only suggestion I would offer is dating the work, like May, week three, 2024.😍😍😍

3:00 I love that... I've done that too: the welder sparking to light the mate's torch. 😎

More great video footage Mary, Jack, & NSF, Thank you!!

[NOM-X]

The size comparison with the sticks gives you a better understanding on just big Zilla is. Amazing! Thanks NSF!

[MickRonald]

Thank you for the latest time lapse video. Always appreciated!

Hopefully Ship 31 is repairable. It likely is.
It's been sometime since we've seen an unexpected anomaly/ damage to anything during pre- flight testing.

[corrinastanley]

Thanks NSF team, I always appreciate seeing the things I have missed while sleeping.

[RetroClaire]

Love the wide shots. It's nice to see close up details but you really get the sense of scale from the wide views from the road

[smacksman]

In the UK I get £700 a ton for scrap stainless steel. There is a few bob in those tanks.

[jcdavis]

Can there be a remembrance video for the suborbital site? I can't believe I've watched Pad B from build to demolish

[stunytsuR]

To work with that crew would be awesome.

[jonesjoyce]

Thank you very much for the report in images and in writing. You really are impeccable. Top! 👏👏💝🍀🌟🤗

[bcrisp]

Thanks for the great camera work! Will NSF have permanent cameras at Masseys now?

[RCKay]

Love this...welcome return to the old format

[sonjamarnewick]

The size of that ship keeps on astonishing me. I forget, and then i see a human walking next to that trolley 😅😳😁

[nandisaand]

The thumbnail had me hopeful for a minute cuz S29 got rolled away from the Chopstix last night. No idea where it went as yet.
