SpaceX Troubleshoots Problems with Full Starship Stack

Ship 24 was lifted off Booster 7 and repositioned so that the Ship QD could be installed properly. Meanwhile, Booster 9 received its Grid Fins and crews inspected Ship 24's heat shield as SpaceX attempts to test the full stack.

Just the fact that one is able to view (footage on a almost daily basis)the development and transformations of this amazing engineering feat alone...speaks volumes ...

[MarcAus]

This heatshield looks absolutely mint. I cant wait to see how it fares under the next testfire

[animations]

Thanks for bringing the music back at the end.👍

[Rxke]

Full stack with the OLM venting had my heart racing, not gonna lie.

[bartwaggoner]

That inspection job with the cherry picker fully extended is death defying!

[blackterminal]

I love that Starship is so like a 1950s science fiction rocket

[RetroJack]

Every time I see the progress SpaceX is making, I think to myself, "What a great time to be alive!"

[badrinair]

THank you Nic, Jack and NSF team for sharing the video with us.

[bideford]

Like the way your photos/videos make me feel like I'm standing right there experiencing the excitement, sounds and amazement of Spacex's fantastic engineering feats they're developing. Witnessing the future technology today. Thank you!

Thanx for adding the music at the end again!

[brenerjog]

Fix when you can, I am always supporting the future of space exploration

[smooth-juice]

Love it. Big thank you for keeping these going and keeping us updated. Also thinking of you, Mary xx

Awesome update, thanks! And YAY return of the ending music!!

[roshanmahale]

Hey @NASASpaceflight I am regularly watch video to know the updates. I am thankful to you. Your recording the process of Humanitys great revolutionary steps to save Human. One day everyone in future will take reference of your video to explain next generation what was we do in past. Thank you once again.

Thanks guys. These "Dailies" are very helpful. We continue to pray for Mary and her family. Y'all be blessed! And, as Tim Dodd always says, "Keep the pointy end up, and the flamey end down."

[jimcabezola]

Again...mahalo for bringing back your outdoor music! 👍

[seank]

Thanks Jack, Nic and Justin. Your work is very much appreciated.

The sight of a full stack is still stunning even after seeing it many times and on the stacking livestream
Also would be interesting to know where the claw arms of the ship qd arm went and if/when they’ll return

this documentation will be a piece of history
