FONDAG Removal?! Starbase Flyover Sneak Peek

We are now doing weekly aerial flyovers depending on the support that we get. Our cost range from pilot fees to rental fees of the Cessna 172 that is used for the flyovers over the sites.

Concise but tantalizing... well done job!

Thank you! These short fly over videos make me feel like I'm up to date. Exciting times!

[MayaPosch]

Tents 1 and 2 are already torn down at this point. Seems the Star Factory expansion is headed into its final phase soon.

Happy Birthday, Mauricio!!! keep up the excellent work!

[MrWillywillmore]

That deluge system is soooo going to be expanded out in all directions!

Awesome Job Mauricio! Really like the quick update so that we can see what’s in store for the weekly show. Question: Any word on what is happening with the patch of real estate near the Star factory construction. There was supposed to be a court hearing on August 8th and I’m wondering what happened there

[robkeshav]

Thank you for the nice quick update. I was wondering if the quality of the still picture can be improved?

[fabixy]

Happy Birthday Mauricio! You make a good job <3 Greetings from Germany!!!

Maybe the Fondag didn't cure properly and thats where the cracks came from ???

[darwinboor]

I'm not sure of the time for Fontag, but it typically takes 28 days for each inch of slab for the to get the excess water out of a slab after it is poured. This may have contributed to the Fontag failure in the heat exposed regions just outside the deluge box.

Masseys new building could be a Highbay for assembling test vehicles?. What is the footprint of midbay, does it compare to the new Massey building footprint?.

1:20 B9 is receiving the hot stage ring as we speak. I guess they are continuing the booster testing campaign as normal unless anything major happens at Masseys

Time index 3:30. Is that just perspective messing with me or is the new third big water tank not quite lined up with the other 2? To me it looks as if the third tank is sitting very slightly more towards the sea than the other two.

Sometimes I wonder if SpaceX do this deliberately to mess with people's OCD, e.g. the last tank to be added to the row of hotdog tanks isn't quite the same size and isn't lined up very well with the existing tanks as Zack and others commented on in the three hour show a few months ago just after it was installed

[OlafGodredsson]

I wonder why they don't cover the fondag with steel plates?

[CRZ_GNGE]

Is the new pad work as Masseys for Power Packs? I saw Tesla is turning them out now.
