Hey Starship Everyone!!! Its time for Final Episode in the Stage Zero 2.0 Series! To wrap up this investigation we will examine all of the issues that SpaceX encountered once they introduced Starship V3 to Its New Launch Pad. This will go significantly deeper into the things mentioned in SpaceX's Starship documentaries, along with everything they left out! Join us for the premier at 7pm CST youtube.com/watch?v=ASVpnu4l…

After a long wait, Ship 43 is now airborne, testing the chopsticks, and likely the SQD ahead of Flight 15's RTLS attempt.

Almost running out of unique drone shots! It still never gets old though.

Starting Sunday off with a bang! Waking up to a full duration static fire test from Booster 22. Flight 15 is going to be epic.

I miss the days of being able to gather meaningful data from Starship flight telemetry. 😞

In other news, after roughly two months of assembly, the 420-ton bridge crane has been jacked up to the top of the Gigabay. It’s one of eight bridge cranes that will be installed in the structure. The two larger 420-ton cranes will transfer vehicles between transport and work stands and handle breakover for horizontal transport, while the other six will be used for stacking operations. 12 hour time lapse 🎥: @LabPadre

Hard to believe this is real without actually seeing it. But I imagine this is only possible by using cold gas thrusters on the straights.

TESLA ROADSTER RUNNING F1 LAP TIMES Tesla Roadster may have been setting some lap times at COTA. That’s insanely fast. The next fastest time is 1:32.029, set by Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes W10) during the 2019 F1 qualifying.

@C2k_IT in response to the post you deleted, the tire temperatures are at the lower end of F1 tire operating temps which makes sense for a cool down lap (assuming that’s when the screen shot was taken because the times lap was already completed). Even tho core temps are influenced by vertical load on the tires, surface temps are primarily a result of friction during cornering. If lateral thrusters were used during cornering I would expect those temps to be a lot lower. Could very well be wrong though, I would like to see footage/telemetry from that lap to confirm

Ship 40 has been lifted back to the vertical position inside of Megabay 2! What do yal think will be its fate after deep inspection is completed? 🎥: @LabPadre

The LOX landing tank test article appears to have experienced a RUD during testing. Its possible this was intentional, although its pretty rare for SpaceX to perform tests to failure, especially at Masseys 🎥: @LabPadre

RUD is probably the wrong word. Its more of a pop instead of being completely destroyed

Very sad I missed the launch this morning for the first time ever. But congrats to SpaceX for successfully reaching orbit!

Lools like the back wall of Gigabay is enclosed, no more views into Megabay2?
