Hats off to the guys working the steel on HB! 🎩

Crazy how these videos are part of people’s everyday lives.

Wow Mary has some class A cams working there. I can't believe you were able to zoom in on that build ticket so that we could read it. You are just TOP SHELF Mary. I'm sure it's safe to say "thanks" from all of us.

Also, we were live with Mary (also chatting with) during sunset with SN5:

Very nice work Mary! Thank you so much for what you are doing for us. I hope they invite you and your camera inside the facility one day so we can see it as well, ...take you on a guided tour. Wouldn't that be nice! Much appreciation Mary.

You got to think there's a new sense of "Let's go, we got this $#!t NOW!" around Boca chica after the hop!!

The video quality isn't good, it is gorgeous i think i can see the ants on the floor amazing tnx u so much

At 2:20, that guy in the yellow shirt was amazing! When you switched to time-lapse, I just about had heart failure. Some movie executives should snap him up as an action double. Taking a longer view, these contractors are doing a very sophisticated job of safely building a huge new structure on the seacoast, right in the middle of the hurricane season. This entire construction job is a real class act.

Amazing. A huge incredibly expensive crane to lift the panels but it is still the roughneck construction worker who has to pull the panel into place with a simple rope tied to it. I hope people appreciate seeing how hard the roughnecks work.

Thanks to all of NSF members for the timely updates. Especially Mary. :) :) :)

[marycope]

I Love watching how in time lapse the machines seem to be operating themselves instead of under human power! Soo Cool!!

5:25 Sweet effect, and very useful; literally illustrates how these parts fit together. Allow me to express my elaborate thanks.
I was already musing writing the following: I saw your vid of SN5 on the pad, was fascinated by the state of the landing legs. I'd surmised how they'd function way back when Elon tweeted SN4. Great to see I was pretty accurate. Scrutinized them on your vid, and in one of Mary's pics posted on reddit, been involved in discussions about landing details on both forums. 

At one point, when scrutinizing them and the TPS tiles, it occurred to me - *this is incredible!* I'm in my recliner, analyzing a beyond-cutting-edge spaceship, and have been for months, thanks in large part to Mary and you folks. When I was a kid I had to be satisfied with a few official drawings/diagrams in magazines for the details of Gemini and Apollo. Then watched the events on a B&W 19" TV. But now... *this is just beyond incredible.*

5:40 Look Mary, we left a note for you and your cam!

[LarsPallesen]

Excellent footage once again, Mary. Thank you!

[lspringerjones]

You can bet this crew is pumped after the successful hop!

[davidcampbell]

Schweet!!! Thanks for the great video and consistent updates.

[lamincra]

Such a lovely overlay with SN 7.1. Keep up the great video production! :)

[Ogre]

Mary, you are awersome! What a nice coverage, thanks a lot! @NASASpaceflight guys, thanks to you too! P.S. Wheee!!! ;)

[everydayspacenut]

Great video I love watching this construction and what Spacex is achieving, we are at the forefront of a new space age and your videos will have a great place in history. Keep up with the great work so people from all around the world can see what’s happening, thank you again from across the pond in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 the U.K. 🇬🇧
