Severe Weather Doesn't Slow Down Starbase | SpaceX Boca Chica

Days of severe weather in South Texas are only a blip on the Starbase schedule, as workers continue cutting apart the Highbay piece-by-piece during demolition. The Pad B chopsticks get a hokey-pokey style workout, as construction of the massive Ground Service Equipment farm which will support both launch pads continues. The narrator is still not convinced on the effectiveness of this specific roundabout, but I guess we'll see. Commented on Earth, by Humans.

Available to members 5.5 hours before public release... trying to see if the extra time makes YT have the alternate audio tracks ready as soon as it goes out to public. Not always possible, but lets gather some data... If you see this, let me know if you have alt tracks in the comments, and we can compare timestamps. - Das

The NSF chime needs to be a permanent addition to these.

[jelynfury]

That jingle really caught me off guard 😂 Thanks Das!

[WilboBaggins-dmub]

Sneeze at will Das. Further as a retired pilot the brief shot of the front arriving made full sense to me. Like that little moment; and i watched the lightning for a couple of hours. Lovely.

[whome]

Channeling your inner Johnny Cash. If I see you carry a very large lunch box, security will need to check it out.

[BamaRailfan]

That one piece at a time, and didnt cost me a dime comment was gold! Thanks, Das!

[FutureSpace]

SpaceX never ceases to amaze—tearing down High Bay like it’s a LEGO set while pushing boundaries in wild weather, pure genius!

[brettnewbert]

Listened to that song yesterday Das, and I was born in the 90's

[lukelanyon-hogg]

I always liked "and we are back for another starbase summary" as the intro.

[badrinair]

Thank you Jack, Cesar and the NSF team for sharing the updates.

[RyanBirke]

The chime is great! They should use that when starting the raptor side chats on Starbase live!

[GooseDied]

Love the intro Das. Definitely use it going forward!

[BrandonMeyer]

What amazes me about Starbase is how quickly they change massive amounts of infrastructure.

The flown boosters look sick, way cooler looking than a toasty F9

[saplays]

That launch mount is so massive, I can't wait to see how they're going to move it.

[ronbenton]

Re: the roundabout on Hwy 4. It doesn't need to be big enough for the trucks to stay on the flat surface if they have a slopped curb and flat area in the middle. The rear axles can run up onto the curb and flat area. Otherwise, it can be used by all the smaller vehicles too. You just don't want people to think they can drive straight through over the middle at full speed!

[Jogeta]

The chime was the intro dude.
That was nice.

[nkende]

Loved the jingle lol. Crazy seeing how quickly that highbay is being torn down!

[samhalter]

Thanks again, John! Keep up the great work!

[anthonycamilleri]

great commentary John thank you Mary and Ceaser

[saversave]

I would love to see a timelapse of the entire star base from the start to current time just to see the progress and changes over time.
