Oh man! After 2+ years of following Starship developments (it helped keep me sane during the early UK pandemic lockdowns) I thought that I'd found all of the SpaceX/Starship channels worth following but today I find that this one had escaped my notice until now. I see that it's only been 5 months since you started posting videos so I don't feel quite so bad but even so, this is such fabulous content that I think it is now vying for my favourite channel or informed commentary on the stuff I find interesting. I agree with other commenters - you deserve many, many more subs. I'm now subscribed so at least I've done my bit to try and make that happen.

[nathanielepps]

The level of detail and insight in this video is incredible! Made the decision to subscribe a no brainer, Great job!

[sfxtd]

This is the first time that the algorithm sent you my way. I am impressed with the detail and quality of your analysis and focus on some things that are not covered elsewhere. Your writing style is also a nice addition to the commentary mix. Liked and Subscribed.

[housemouse]

Thumbs Up and a Sub. Finally, someone with Value Add to SpaceX news instead of monitizing free videos from others and not saying a word. Well done!

[garypeak]

I consider myself lucky and blessed to have found this channel. Thank you!

[jotchava]

I'm 5 minutes into this video that just popped up on my feed, and I've subscribed. Excellent detail and shots and commentary.. You just don't get all this in the other spaceX info channels done so well.
Keep up the great work!!

[billhart]

Love the creative “Jetson’s” into. Your level of detail in photos and matching commentary is orders of magnitude better than and other site! New subscriber!

[denisszwarc]

This is amazing, you should have way more subs than the main SpaceX news channels

[tremainpryor]

I've been waiting for this video lol I've watched all you posted to date keep them coming bro

[obsey]

Thank you! This episode was amazing! You are the only person to explain all the water vacuum tanks, and then the water transport tanks that have been arriving at the OTF every day. It was so puzzling that I never even commented on them, and you know I comment a LOT on the nsf live streams.

I've been following many space-nerd channels for awhile, but this is the first time YouTube "served me" yours. As a frequent RGV flyover viewer, I was surprised that you had your own channel! Anyhoo, that's a long way to say: Great content! Subscribed!

[joeyc]

Excellent video. Your format is so interesting to follow, the information and notes are so well thought out and the humour is great especially the start! Keep up the good work.

[bertschb]

I've been following activity at Starbase since day one and thought I knew quite a bit about it. But, your video showed up in my feed today and wow!! You do a REMARKABLE. job breaking down details I've never heard anywhere else. Pretty amazing. Very well done sir!!!!

[leeroyhibbs]

This is a great potted history of a long running saga with the water tanks. Thanks. It also explains the inner turmoil we could hear in your voice during the RGV livestreams every time we went near those pipes!

[Rightin]

Great style and pace. I really appreciate the time and effort you are putting in. Amazing quality vide and very entertaining. Thanks bud.

[epicdaniel]

Great video as always! There’s so much work that goes into these videos, you really deserve a lot more attention. Keep it up!

[boatbyrd]

OH MY GOSH! I just discovered you. What a refreshing addition to the already fantastic cadre of SpaceX vloggers! You rock!

[straighttalk]

I'm totally blown away by this video.
Everything has had a lot of effort and detail put into it.
The intro sequence has been thought out and well acted.
The room you present from has been well designed and even the TV has another SpaceX YouTuber on it, how cool was that.
The detailed information you provide was so interesting and the best on YouTube.
Letting us know about your mechanical engineering background was also very useful and last but not least is your great sense of humour.

Keep up the great work I'm already subscribed and now I've hit the notification button.

[ophello]

High quality content with actual information. This is sorely needed. Bravo.

[scottpeabody]

I appreciate your eloquence and knowledge. I really like the depth that you go into with your narration. I subscribed just now and will be a regular visitor. Great work !!
