MINDBLOWING Analysis on SpaceX Starship Stage Zero CHANGES EVERYTHING
We will tell you in detail about SpaceX Starship's Stage Zero progress and all its important parts. Whether the launch tower, mount, propellant tanks, flame diverter system, we will cover all of that, so stay tuned.

If you are unfamiliar with the story due to being here for the first time, SpaceX is working around the clock to prepare for the first orbital Starship flight test. It will be the first time the company launches the 394-foot-tall launch system comprised of the Super Heavy rocket and Starship spacecraft. The stainless-steel vehicles will soon undergo a series of pre-flight tests meant to assess if all is ready for an orbital flight. During the debut orbital flight attempt, Super Heavy Booster 4 will propel Starship SN20 to orbit from the Starbase launch pad at Boca Chica Beach, Texas. Starship will continue its orbital flight above the Florida Straits, then re-enter Earth’s atmosphere to splashdown off the northwest coast of Kauai, Hawaii, near a military base.
In a recent interview with science communicator Tim Dodd, Everyday Astronaut on YouTube, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said they do not plan to recover Starship SN20 during the first orbital flight. "…For the first orbital launch our goal is to make it to orbit without blowing up," Musk told Dodd, "And frankly, […] if the booster does its job and something goes wrong with the ship, I will still count that as great progress," he said. "To be frank, if it takes off without blowing off the stand, Stage Zero, which is much harder to replace than the booster – that will be a victory. So, ‘please do not blow up on the stand,’” Musk added. He explained that ‘Stage Zero’ is the launch pad support structures, which include the launch tower, mount, propellant tanks, flame diverter system, among many other things surrounding the launch pad. Musk said Stage Zero is much harder to build than a ship and booster.
The Mammoth Launch Tower!
It is the company's largest building to date, and it will serve as a model for future "ocean spaceports" that Elon Musk hopes to construct next year. SpaceX has made substantial progress toward the next Starship launch, which will see a prototype of the Mars-bound rocket fly into orbit for the first time.
The Launch Tower was built using the Gigantic frakencrane. The tower's principal objective, which is now nearing completion just a few months after construction began, is to provide a sturdy platform capable of steadying Starships and Super Heavy boosters during final integration when the two stages unite to form one launch vehicle. The task of precisely mating two parts of what amounts to a few hundred-ton skyscrapers will be significantly more difficult than it appears, as it will be located within a stone's throw from the Gulf of Mexico on the windy South Texas coast.
The final segment of the orbital tower was stacked, and the 370-ton launch table was placed onto the orbital launch mount. These elements are still far from completion, however. The catching mechanism still needs to be installed on the tower and a great deal more plumbing work is needed.
QD swing arms
Soon after the launch tower was ready, SpaceX stacked its Starship vessel atop Booster B4 for the very first time. One month after, the company has installed the first arm on what amounts to the backbone of ‘Mechazilla.’
At the end of July, after less than four months of work, a team of SpaceX workers and contractors installed the final prefabricated section of a ~145m (~475 ft) tall tower meant to support orbital Starship launches. SpaceX’s first custom-built ‘launch tower’ is a sort of backbone or anchor point for several massive, mechanical arms that will accomplish the actual tasks of servicing – and, perhaps, catching – Starships and Super Heavy boosters.

Greetings from Australia, Perth...///

Things have come a long way since my late father, God rest his soul, went to sea in WWII
aboard HMS Seagull, a Halcyon-class minesweeper and *the First entirely Rivetless ship.*

Sounded like you really enjoyed that :) Thanks for sharing!

Hi lift off thanks for your update great 👍 video of starbase David 🇬🇧🚀❤️👍

[markknister]

So much more done since I was there in mid July 2021.

[davidbeyer]

This is ancient history. Please only present new news - not old news….🥵

[MrUnderseconds]

Upon takeoff the frankencrane could help lift the whole booster and starship upwards

[kevinmccarthy]

O
Of course you need stiffeners on that big tube structure. I wonder how much weight will be added to the ship..

[tirfing..............]

I'm so glad there's an Elon. What wonderful changes are in store for the next generations

[spyeatte]

Elon Musk does not get bogged down with endless garbage. "Peddle to the Metal".

[michaeljohnson]

Wondering, why would Musk not want to recover SN20 after delaying launch forever, for all that heat shield work?

[pobembe]

Faker----This Really old news other video channels already showed about 3 wks ago. It is now being repeated here as though news. Everybody wants to capitalize on Space-x clicks and subscribers.

HI EMS ME THAT IS DISPLEASED😢✌👌****8888****
