I just wanted to tell you guys you're doing a great job, reporting on everything that has to do with SpaceX it's really awesome dude and Starship, I'm a native Floridian born and raised, and you guys are representing I really appreciate it keep up the good work

I have to say that it was cool to see you guys set up across from Gate 4 when I was there for my interview last Friday. Oddly enough, the employees didn't seem to know who NSF is, so I had to educate them. Now they know why I know so much about SpaceX, lol.

Great Starbase Update Jack! Thank you & NSF!

[LuigiRBedin]

Jack is getting better and better in all these years! Love you guys! Thank you

By the time the FAA gets off its butt, there's gonna be 2 stacked and ready to go ships.

A mega crab stand for the booster would be a very interesting idea

[ninecentral]

I totally would’ve been looking for TPS tiles or other vehicle parts

There are 18 degree bends (why it can moved on a semi). and the inside is more structurally sound. That is either the legs or the legs. My money is in the on the the OLM ring. But anticipation is the best part of this whole engineering marvel.
Thanks Jack, you rock! Me and the wife love, and support ya. And Grocery shopping sucks.

Hello Jake, I must thank you and the rest of the team at @NASASpaceflight for all the great work you do. As someone who follow your work every day from North Yorkshire in the UK, Its just so good to see.

[Pintuuuxo]

I totally agree with you, Jack: the booster and the ship are gorgeous!!!

[andrewlawther]

I have to say, you have a future in commercials, that was the best ad I have watched a YouTuber do 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[garyhorner]

I'm guessing that there won't be a launch "table" for the second launch tower because the booster sits at least 60 feet off the ground. SpaceX has indicated that the third version of the starship and booster would be a total of 50 feet taller yet due to an FAA ruling the second tower can't be any taller than the first one therefore if the launch platform is only 10 feet high there's the fifty extra feet.

[MimuMaki]

Excited to hear more about the booster kerfuffle.

[bobferranti]

It would be awesome to see a retractable arm for the booster, like the one ship has. It would make a lot more sense if they are going to go with a mobile launch platform. I'm also surprised that they haven't done anything about how they load the FTS explosives, I would have thought that they would install them facing the launch tower and designed a working platform that moves into place, rather than removing the ship and lowering it all the way to the ground.

i can not believe how much rybbish they got from the beach people should really clean up more and look after beachs and wildlife that are affected by this trash

[NickForslund]

I miss when I could watch these during lunch.

Nice drone (?) shots of the salvage ship @ 10:08 😁

[flawedperspective]

Speculation: Structural reinforcement resulting from the flex in the tower found during catch testing.

[OhShiitakeMushrooms]

How many starships will be built and ready before the FAA stops kicking the can down the road?

[GerardHammond]

I love this sponsors food..University focussed guy here. It helps me study. I will succeed and run middle earth - S
