We're Getting Close!!! SpaceX Preps For Starship's 4th Launch - SpaceX Weekly #116

With crews working to dismantle the former suborbital tank farm and make way for a second launch pad, SpaceX performs a full stack wet dress rehearsal this week. Scrapping also continues on the orbital tank farm's old vertical cryo tanks, and segments for the next launch tower continue arriving at the Sanchez site. Meanwhile, at Cape Canaveral, a special delivery arrives aboard a French cargo vessel while SpaceX continues along with Starlink launch and recovery operations.

I never thought I'd see the day that there were two launches in 24 hours and from the same pad never the less. It was so rare as a child to watch a shuttle or other rocket take off anywhere. I'm blown away by the frequency of launches and landings. Real progress on a human scale.

Almost like one of the original Dragnet narration. "Just the facts Ma'am." Well done.

THanks for great and detail update, LapPadre and Crew!

These awesome updates feel like science fiction becoming reality. Finally. Humanity has waited decades for aerospace technological development to happen at the pace of early aviation development, or early automotive development. We had a 50 year interruption in aerospace before SpaceX took the reins. There is currently a lot of scrapping but it feels like early development that needed to happen as part of the learning process that is inevitable when developing new technology, that's now being corrected as development continues along the corrected path.

Flight 4 soon and I can't wait! Huge thanks to LabPadre for each of these extremely valuable weekly updates. Future aerospace historians will find these videos to be extremely valuable.
