NSF is such a remarkable group of people. You folks have found your purpose in life, and we are all grateful for your passion.

[SebastianWellsTL]

Getting pictures from space is seriously awesome!

Finally a video that I can be satisfied enough to go to sleep after.

Thank you Jack for another great Starbase Update!!!

11:49 - well done for this use of "replete with" meaning "well supplied with".

[jaydonbooth]

The satellite imagery is a great addition to the starbase updates.

The IFT3 mishap report still isn't complete as far as we know so I think IFT4 might slip into June, but SpaceX are clearly making the most of this extra time with work on seemingly every aspect of Starbase.

I 100% agree about Highbay and Stargate getting demolished one day to make space for another Megabay but not just to take extra volume of output from Starfactory. Once Starship development gets to v3 the current Megabays won’t be tall enough to fully stack a v3 booster so I think any new Megabay that gets build will be a Megamegabay, even taller than the current Megabays and maybe also wider - perhaps space for 5 workstations along the back rather than the 3bin the current Megabays - to reflect the fact that by v3 time it would be the only building where a booster could be fully stacked.

The guy at 15:15 trying to find the correct tile was fun to watch

[curtiswfranks]

Kinda off-topic, but I want to tell people who might actually care: I am on the Space Coast (Cape Canaveral) and am looking forward to some launches this week! 😀

[richhyde]

Seeing how Jack has grown from his first appearance is great!

[EdwardsEReed]

The Hoverpen Mother's Day tie-in advert is one of the funniest things I've seen ...

[pipersall]

Man it would be amazing to see the amount of money that goes out each and every week of work at Starbase with all the building and destruction and re building and payroll of all the employees and crews and materials and on and on. Big big bucks, man.

W update NSF and Jack, thanks for giving me something to watch after a test in class

[ryanwolfenberger]

12:15am alert...come on...okay I'll watch

[jablewit]

"Now neat is that!"
"That's pretty neat!"

[LostMarkTwain]

One thing that concerns me is how those hard chopsticks rails will soft catch boosters/ships... The ship/booster "nipple" crushing in that hard rail will be tough. It will certainly damage ship/booster structure. I think they will have to come with a better idea. I imagine a kind of a steel cable, offset from the chopstick structure, that would soft catch the "nipples" and transfer the load to the cable (with some spring/pneumatic system). Like two bow arcs on each side of the chopsticks. And when the load was transfered to the cables, then it would soft lay the load to the hard rail. What do you think?

[nirbhay_raghav]

Damn! Those images look very similar to RGV aerial shots. We are now using satellites from space to report on rockets that will put other satellites.

Awesome videos of launch 4 coming soon from NSF..
