How SpaceX Stage 0 Changes will shock you!

Seven weeks have passed since Starship's first orbital launch, and while SpaceX has kept a relatively low profile regarding the mission's specifics, one thing has become evident: the tireless efforts of the Starbase team to address and enhance the launch pad have been truly remarkable.
Indeed, how SpaceX Stage 0 Changes now will shock you!
Find out everything about this in today's episode of Alpha Tech:
Just a few days after SpaceX’s launch pad was damaged, the Starbase team began excavating the dirt and concrete beneath the orbital launch mount to make room for the new water-cooled steel plate that will be used.
They completely dismantled the previous pipeline system of the launch mount.
Over 30.5 meters (100-foot) long rebar cages for the foundation were recently dismantled, showing that the piles have become stronger.
Besides, significant excavation work has taken place around the orbital launch mount (OLM), accompanied by the installation of sheet piles throughout the ground. These sheet piles play a vital role in safeguarding the area against potential cave-ins during the ongoing excavation process. By providing additional strength and support, they create a secure foundation for the installation of rebar, which will in turn accommodate the future placement of water pipes.
This week's progress on the OLM is evident as the pile caps are now exposed, and the compression ring has been cut all the way around, revealing the rebar underneath. Notably, the addition of dewatering pipes can be observed, with drilling taking place around the perimeter of the site to facilitate water removal. These developments signify significant strides in the construction process.

It’s awesome seeing spacex overcome obstacles, especially with how fast they work. Never understood the critics negativity everytime spacex has a problem. They are by far the best at what they do and it’s part of the process

Wow. Only 7 weeks and the launchpad is a hive of updates.

Just shows what can be achieved when the will is there and it’s not all about committees but there is someone at the top who just says “do it”

Sure it still may have issues but you have to admire the focus and dedication.

They've done an such amazing amount of work in such a short time, hope it all works out!👍👍

[billgallaher]

Sheet piling is not a structural component. It is a dewatering and bank stabilization component. It would be necessary for deeper foundation work with the high water table at Boca Chica. They can be removed or left in place depending on any ancillary benefit of having them there.

Here's to hoping that SpaceX's new solution or the next will hold firm for many launches so development can progress at the breakneck speed they have planned!

chrome kiwi looks like he needs to have his chrome polished..

Falcon payload heavy to orbit = 63.8 tons (not 90 as you suggest here)

Incredible I'm glad Mr.Musk is on our side 💚🤪

One of Elon's SpaceX visions is to operate starship as regular commercial flight. I don't think that's completely viable. However, with OLMs at some large hub-to-hub routes like London to New York or Singapore to Los Angeles, travelers get two for price of one. 1) travel time to their destination cut from 12 hours to about one hour, (2) 3G-liftoff, zero-gravity LEO space, landing experience. A business class seat on an ordinary airplane already cost 10K. If say they charge 20K and with starship configuring say 200 seats, that's 4M. I am sure it will have 100% load factor on every flight. Like airlines and airports, spacelines and spaceport authorities will be sharing the cost in building the infrastructures (OLM etc). Once these flights become regular, I can already imagine business (jets)spaceships/spaceliners where they can remain in orbit longer than the business jets in the air, or travel to-from space-cities like the 2001 space odyssey, etc...

Environmentalists like my SpaceX launch pad redesigned of which I emailed SpaceX and posted on social media.

I am not sure how SpaceX is going to safely deflect the enormous downward then 90° angle horizontal blast shock wave without another horizontal sand blasting event, one of the environmentalist’s major concern that my design prevents.

SpaceX new design should prevent blasting another hole below the launch pad, but doesn’t appear to address the horizontal shockwave issues.

Without the FAA approval to launch, it’s going nowhere fast.

Solve for second Starship launch attempt E=mc² where: E=date of launch, m=Actual amount of time needed, c=(Time Elon states it will take which is 1 half actual time needed)

[chrislong]

I wonder if the legs on Starship will be self-leveling on the Moon's surface!
It seems like any tilt would be extremely hazardous as hell!

[johnd.]

I find it crazy that environmentalists have a problem with this. Being that with something like starship could allow space mining, and mining is one of if not the biggest environmental impacts we have.

SpaceX's iterative strategy for testing Starship exposed a flaw in the design of the Orbital Launch Mount that left the underlying pad under-supported. The major foundation upgrades being implemented address this flaw, while incorporating a novel water deluge sound suppression and pad protection system that will prevent a repeat of this failure mode. Replaceable sacrificial elements in the upgraded design will also protect the OLM's underlying superstructure from the normal wear associated with the launching of super rockets.

After Starship's IFT1 performance on 2023/04/20, the rocket's design is evidently able to withstand shockwaves that the redesigned pad may still reflect back up. With this upgrade, we will also get a clearer view of the next launch, without the giant cloud of dust and debris that the first launch of this super rocket generated.


With the successful next launch of Starship, we will be taking another step forward into humanity's future of interplanetary travel.

33 engines problem will not go away. Expect many more failed launch. The new launch stand will hold up until they change the rocket.

I'm shocked this channel has any viewers.

[kishoremehta]

I dont think this water cooled steel plate will work, why not have simple flame diverter

[khanfauji]

Too much repetitive info to make the video longer.

[bazoo]

What shocked me that SpaceX gambled the future od Starship program by hoping that the Universe will obey Musk's pronouncement that they don't need a flame diverter or water deluge system.

[markjeghers]

"Shock" me? Stop the exaggerated click bait BS in the titles. It reduces your credibility.
