[Whataboutit]

What are your thoughts? Could the second tower in Florida be planned for SLC-37 or LC-39A?

[thetobi]

Can't wait to see a super heavy catch. Seeing one of those glorified grain silos launch is already mind blowing. Watching the tower successfully catch one would probably make me spontaniously explode

[jockeb]

Catching the booster could be a mind boggling sight

[simonnicholls]

"Ten launches a am I supposed to stream that LOL

[GamePar]

Injury law firms seem sleazy. I wouldn’t want them as a sponsor.

[ctznlack]

Don't know how many people know this, but the tighter packaging on the raptor 3 components is thanks to the advancements in 3D printing over the years and SpaceX's experimentation with what they could acomplish with it.

[mattfromwiisports]

Knowing SpaceX they’ll build a mechazilla in the ocean.

[douglasempie]

Since the tower is always getting beat up by the fire, maybe they should put tiles on that lol

[TheMotoracer]

I believe SpaceX needs to separate launch and catch functions. A dedicated tower for catching won't need any launch support hardware and won't require stopping rehab on the launch tower every time a booster or starship needs to land.
Another reason would be to prevent damage to the launch tower if something goes wrong during catch operations. it's not the same as landing a falcon, the booster has to basicly hover while the arms move in to capture.

[RussW_Comments]

A big concern will be the length of time for an accident investigation if there is a RUD during landing … I hope they plan to always have a launch tower available, i.e., don’t land until the second tower is able to at a minimum catch …

[kevin]

You would think they'd build a 'dumb'/simple tower for the first booster catch attempts, seems a bit crazy to risk damaging the launch mount, tower etc

[allenlane]

The Super Mario power-up edits were awesome! I literally laughed out loud both times. Love the channel! Keep up the great work!

[Rocketman]

Excellent content. Between you and Marcus Howse I feel like I am always on top of what's going on at SpaceX.

[Ordo]

The high bay is quite rusty already. It seems those weather conditions are quite harsh there.

[texan-american]

Honestly, they should just dedicate a tower to just "catch" the rockets instead of possibly losing the launch and recovery pad at the same time.

[aloisiorosa]

Cada lançamento é histórico, muito emocionante e com imagens simplesmente maravilhosas!

[HarryNicNicholas]

i find it amusing that spacex always seem to be botching things together, like all those tiles looking like junkshop cast-offs, but then it turns out it was all going to plan, even if that plan was for something to fail so they can make sure it doesn't fail next time. and once again shout out to all the people involved in building this dream, 24/7 dedication.

[Klaus]

It must be amazing to be part of SpaceX.

Wow, this is going to be two years of incredible progress. Go go SpaceX.
