It's so cool seeing the clouds form over the ocean in the first section of the video. You can see the humidity rising from the ocean and forming clouds above.

You scared me for a second, until I remembered booster 4 is ship 20's one! :)

[dragnflei]

The time lapse segments were epic today. Also, boosters and ships come and go but Hopper remains immortal.

[Gab-zjxt]

Wow, you really got a great timelapse of gorgeous clouds there today, at the start of the video, I found it quite enjoyable to watch... Thank you for capturing that! Anyone else notice that?

[MichaelMacherey]

What a beautiful sunrise! Thank you Mary for recording and editing!

[WayneTheSeine]

Loved the how early the clouds boil up to thunderstorm levels.

[evilsheep]

man for a second there I was worried that work wasn't continuing on the orbital launch table

[RolfStones]

I love that like half of the comments are about the beautiful shots and timelapses of the clouds. They could do those intro timelaps morning shots as stand alone videos. Beautiful content on it's own.

NOPE. I am not an engineer but the spreader bar doesn't lower the center of mass. It is basically an adapter from one hook to 4 connections while making the angles vertical at the connections.

[samsleeman]

Love those cumulis clouds building in the early morning time lapse shots. Great video as usual. Really enjoying them from South Africa.

[opium]

12:50 that's a pretty crazy cloud blume in the background!

[fuffoon]

Some of the best cloud video I have ever seen!

[davidwilson]

Absolutely amazing sunrises that you captured every day 👍thanks

[Norminal]

Thanks again for the wonderful footage

[badrinair]

THank you MAry and NSG team fro brining this amazing footage to us SpaceX fans. ITs amazing to see the progress of the work here. cant wait to see the booster grab ams in action.

[forgilageord]

Great video! I am once again voicing my appreciation of the slightly raised text boxes, and how nice it is that they don't overlap the youtube timeline.

[delawarepilot]

The stainless steel recycling business in Texas must be booming right now.

[nathan_aus]

I've stopped the video at the 1 minute mark just to say, wow, that sun rise (or more so the clouds) was amazing. In no particular order, we are so lucky that SpaceX is doing everything so publicly, that the move so much faster than the rest of the space industry and that we have people like Mary and the rest of the Nasa Spaceflight team give up their time to document this every single day.
