Whoops!! Stage Zero Sustains Some Damage During IFT-3 - SpaceX Weekly #107

This week at Starbase was all about repairs, inspections and construction, as various systems were checked out following IFT-3, and work progresses on the next launch tower, a new parking garage, new office building, Starfactory expansion, and test facilities at the Massey Outpost, while over at Cape Canaveral, SpaceX launches a Cargo Dragon from the new facilities at SLC-40, and welcomes Crew Dragon Endurance back to port following the return of the Crew-7 team.

Nice video straight to the point cover all the work no endless talking.👍

[primordial_platypus]

The amount and speed of the design, engineering, specification, fabrication, construction, installation going on at these sites is simply amazing.

[InterstateTechno]

The pacing of these videos, and the language and vocabulary range of the construction activity is impeccable; please continue!

[BusstterNutt]

Thank you, a great synopsis as always.

[Anamnesia]

Your weekly update videos continue to astound me. It doesn't escape me that someone has to trawl through multiple hours of videos, from multiple cameras & to know (with some certainty) of what's going on & identify each 'discussion worthy' events, write a blurb about it, collate the videos and the blurbs into a script, edit the video, dub the script over the video, preview & post.
Just the production levels of these 15 minute weekly updates is (to me) very impressive! 👍👌✌

for the reinforced concrete pour area, my vote is parking lot currently because we didn't see vapor barrier go down, so not a building and we don't see the electrical stub-outs for running power to each spot that would be needed for Tiny Homes or an RV Park.

The pace of construction and expansion of the facilities is truly amazing. 🤯

[MrKellymcilrath]

Great video footage Chief & Lab Padre, Thank you!!!

[johnfisher]

The best coverage of these sites on the internet. Thank you.

[mrmeanyu]

Thak you...I don't know about anyone else..but I prefer the type of update. Thanks again

[oldmanstumpie]

Thanks for the ongoing updates Lewis and team. I'm amazed how you can keep up with all that's happening with SpaceX.

I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR LAB PADRE VIDEOS. THEY ARE MY “GO-TO” FOR SPACEX ACTION, ESPECIALLY BOCA CHICA CONSTRUCTION. THE PACE IS JUST RIGHT AND THE LINGUISTICS ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR. IF I NEED TO STOP OR BACKUP TO LET MY BRAIN SPOOL, THATS EASY ENOUGH. KEEP ‘EM COMING PLEASE.

[renesoucy]

How can anything resist that blow torch! What a monster! The shockwaves alone are a killer! I dream to see a multistage version with this booster as a first stage. Easy peasy to the Moon!

[LibertyEver]

A lot of this isn't rocket science, but it's impressive how much engineering and fabrication is advancing SpaceX toward the goal of Mars colonization. The pace of the building is impressive. It reminds me of when people in the US dared to do great things. The world is a meeker place now, but SpaceX is bucking the trend.

[teds]

Great to see things moving so quickly... thanks for your continued coverage!

[Jehu_Absalom_Divine]

A amazing work guys. Well done. Keep up the great news about this and the excellent quality products and services of workmanship ❤❤

[johnd.]

Good news about stage 0, it has much less weight restrictions than the rocket itself...
Good to actually see the damage so they know where additional protection is needed.

[Jehu_Absalom_Divine]

PARKING SPACES FOR THE OFFICE WORKERS AND NICE LITTLE STUDIO APARTMENTS ❤❤

[atptourfan]

Best weekly narrated review by far!! thx LAB

[ThatsDave]

Excellent work as usual! All week condensed into less than 14 minutes, my time well worth spent!
