New Wide High Bay Foundation Work Continues | SpaceX Boca Chica

Crews are hard at work clearing the area for SpaceX's new, wider High Bay. This new High Bay will dramatically increase Starship & Super Heavy production and assembly cadence ahead of regular orbital missions. Meanwhile, work continues on Ship 20 to prepare it for testing.

I love the closeups of the tiles where we can see the broken and chipped tiles... AWESOME!

[jamesturk]

You guys do great work.
Thank you for helping us live in this science fiction movie.

[badrinair]

THank you Mary, Stephen and NSF team fro brining this amazing footage to us spaceX fans .

[dphuntsman]

Watching these cool, no extraneous music videos of space workers going about their work is my “moment of zen” on these days. Please, keep these coming,

[catbertz]

Thank you gentlemen for the quality footage!

[thechanceogden]

Love the cinematic feel of that last shot! 11:45

[aAcCeEkick]

Thank you for keeping us all up to date.

From looking at the condition of the tiles during the close-ups, I think I have the tape color-code worked out.
I think Orange is 'replace the tile' as many of the orange marked tiles are visibly damaged.
Green seems to be 're-mount the tile' to get it properly lined up with adjacent tiles.

10:51 I really kinda wonder what the inside of the Starship looks like through that hatch. Maybe nothing special, but still curious what the internal structure looks like at this stage of development.

[casualtie]

something about the last shot in particular was really well done, awesome job!

[loslaynes]

I've always loved the Sunrises from over the Gulf. I get to see Sunsets of the Pacific and it is a very relaxing setting

[MikeGriffiths]

Can't we just call it the WIDE Bay? We already have a HIGH Bay.

[thiesenf]

And now we can transition to become Texas High Wide Bay Watchers... :-)

[MrEd]

2:00 Watched all the vids... Had no idea HiLifts could go that high!!!! You'd never get me in one...

[TechMasterRus]

We should call it "Wide bay")

[harrygordey]

2:20..any thoughts on how S20 will be lifted assuming that the lifting eyes will be removed to allow the TPS to be completed? Thanks NSF team as always

[AcapulKero]

What a wonderful place to work! I wish I was younger and living over there to be part of the future.

[mr.ripley]

Sheldon: We must build a Foundation for future species to evolve from the darkness and..

Spacex workers: Yep, we’re on it, no problem!

[marvinmartinsYT]

The boom lifts (elevated platforms) they’re using are crazy high.
