Im so glad Lab does these voiceovers himself. He has great tone and punctuation that begs excitement about the subject.

I just wanted to say that’s like the non-fat version of SpaceX updates. No quirky gimmicks just straight facts, very well presented. Good job

Last shot with the octograbber your mind goes first like 'that's a big Roomba...' until you see that forklift to the right of it and it hits you just how massive those octograbbers are.

Amazing detail in these reports, Lab. Its one of the best new outlets for space based news. Thank you!

[waynelevett]

Thank you. What a great video. That was my first good look at octograbber. Your coverage is amazing. Very well done.

[brucehanna]

[bradleyjohnson]

Awesome!!...Thank you for the channel..🤓

[karlrestall]

I love you're synopsis of the week. Excellent summation.

[gobfranklin]

Great job. I was down at starbase to check it out and was impressed how friendly the security and sheriff's were. I made sure to say high to them and ask permission to loiter around a bit as the closure took place and they said no problem. Still had to leave but we'll run opp. Keep up the great work!!

It's Space Saturday for me, been waiting all week to watch this episode and I was not disappointed (It's not like I was going to be). Thanks Louis, awesome update 👍

[allen]

Lab and team great update, well done as always..! 👍 🚀🛸🚀

[Barthhhelona]

Great update! It's really fantastic seeing all the commercial space companies working toward reusability and getting access to The Cape. I admit when Obama was pushing the public/private partnership model on NASA I was skeptical, but I have to admit he revolutionized America's space industry. Credit to SpaceX as well for jumpstarting the reusability path and fanning competition.

How're the chopsticks at Starbase looking now? Appreciate you covering all rocket companies as well. TONS of actions across the space industry.
