Coming Up On Starship Flight 7 | SpaceX Starbase

[@jjakehicks]

I had quit watching these regularly a couple years ago, the narration brought me back... thank you guys!!

[@alesksander]

IKR its great too do something and just get know how things are going.

[@iandennis1]

I agree the narration makes a big positive difference.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Mahalo for the larger font! My ancient eyes can take a break now. These narrated visits to Starbase are aces; you make all this understandable. Aloha!

[@pugglywuggly3228]

the commentary is what makes these watchable!😁

[@wymans668]

While I don't watch on a phone or tablet I do have cataracts that I cannot afford to deal with, so anything that makes it easier to see I'm in favor of. Thanks guys and gals.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Glad it helps 👍 - Das

[@davidlang4442]

Got medicare and a supplimental? You can have them removed at no cost. Operation is nothing. 15 minutes and it's done. Hard part is putting in eye drops 2x a day for 3 weeks each eye. You will be amazed at what you have been missing! Blue skies again for one! They do each eye about one week apart. Best part is you will never have to deal with it ever again!

[@dphuntsman]

Ouch; try to get those cataracts taken care of, ok? They only get worse. Please.

[@badrinair]

Thank you, Mary, Jack, John and the entire NSF team for the updates

[@GooseDied88]

Another great update, thanks DAS. I watch all the NSF content but this is the one I look forward to seeing.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Thank you o7 - Das

[@masterquacc]

love the commentary option now! thanks nsf

[@MrX-zz2vk]

Yes, considering I watch a lot of these vids on my smartphone, i DO appreciate you increasing the font size. Thanks 👍

[@tomsheridan989]

I like the way you present it Das

[@bmoore8853]

Missed this a lot since the new year, man I can’t believe how much I love these updates

[@brianarries7852]

Thanks for making the text bigger. I’m one of your fans that really appreciate it. Thank you NSF

[@rchorseman]

Love the larger font. Another great video, DAS you had mail in the Mail Box…

[@corrinastanley125]

Thanks Das and NSF team, great close-ups by Jack and Mary 🌺.

[@timgrinton6249]

Larger font looks great, eyes aren't like they used to be. Much better for phone watching

[@victorpatalon4012]

Thank you, for making the font bigger. I watch at least half of these on my phone while I do other things

[@chickendogarmy]

Hi NSF team!!!! I’m so excited for this year and flight 7! And I can’t wait to see all the videos you guys post! Have a happy and wonderful new year!

[@PalmettoAir-cc1zi]

Thanks for the bigger fonts! And, of course, the great views and narration.

[@hazelnut11022]

Been watching these on mobile phone all time, and to me no bigger font would have been needed. that's my feedback since you asked. happy new year Das!

[@markmurphy3578]

The new graphics are great. Much easier to see on my mobile. And I quite enjoy John’s (or is it Jon’s) commentary. Excellent

[@Richjwade]

👍 for the new fonts, way easier to read. I love the Das chat 👏

[@johit103067]

Another great narrated summary! WTG Das & NSF!

[@Lycanthus]

Don't watch on my phone, but as an old guy the larger font is very much appreciated.

[@smacksman1]

Ha ha! A launch to clear the scaffolding! I have visions of scaffold poles with melted ends arrowing across the site! Ref: 3:55 Lining up 96+ holes with a ton of pipe manifold swinging in the breeze is no joke. Bolt diameter is usually one sixteenth of an inch (for US readers) less than hole dia. so only + - a thirty second play. Easier when rigging to have a bolt a size smaller dropped in each end of the manifold to guide it home. Love the commentary John.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Appreciate that! The thickness of the flange is also a huge deal... and those flanges aren't skinny. - Das

[@smacksman1]

@@NASASpaceflight Agreed. The higher the pressure; the thicker the flange; the trickier to rig. I think modern laser sight line tools have made fabrication more accurate and so rigging easier.

[@user-es8kc7lr2q]

Love the larger fonts

[@jamesf333]

Thank you senōr, once again, we are grateful for all your hard work

[@MercuryAndMetals]

I have no clue why I got so surprised to hear many people watch these on their phone. Might just be cuz im just relaxing watching on my TV

[@wizardofhoz7216]

Kackle time, how time flies when watching this stream Happy New Year Everyone!!! Thanks Das!

[@Cape_Cod_Steve]

👋 Happy New Year ! 👍 👍 ☘️ ☘️

[@curtisrendon204]

Happy New Year Das! I use a desktop and a "full size" screen, and the increased size isn't obscuring anything, so it's fine. Wanting to clearly see all the details on y'alls videos is why I use a full size screen ;-O

[@jrdaparker]

Great job DAS, Mary, Jack and the rest of NSF team. DAS, I love your narration. If anyone says otherwise, they’re probably just grumpy people who hate themselves and everyone else. They can be ignored because the vast majority of us enjoy this format.

[@cosmicninjaSN8]

Beautiful pictures of the OLM! Thank you so much!

[@bcrisp56]

There’s so much going on in the world, font size is not an issue. However, thanks NSF for the beautiful camera work that your brilliant videographers bring to the community!

[@bournemouthbill]

Just wanted to say thanks to John, Jack, Mary and the whole background NSF crew for all the Starbase videos over the past four years I have been watching. Great coverage. Sadly I cannot watch SpaceX streams any longer as the goal of the project has now become far too disturbing. I look forward to future NSF streams featuring other launch providers.

[@Starchface]

I for one enjoy the color commentary Das! Good show old chap.

[@KevinHarrington1979]

My old eyes thank you for the bigger font ❤

[@basbekjenl]

I usually watch these on phone yeah. It's great for keeping up with the positive news on the move.

[@BenjySparky]

Das and NSF, y'all rock! Peace

[@Creadence]

I like the DASsplaining!

[@NASASpaceflight]

More Dabservations on these videos. 😅 - Das

[@trentonlaub5076]

Thanks for the bigger font. Great idea

[@Trish_Stevens]

Yes yes yes!, I watch on phone and tablet, thank you for thinking of us with no TV or desktop computer,, thank you

[@DebraJean196]

Love the new font size - from an old pair of eyes!

[@jswebbproductions9785]

thank you so much for providing the ambient track!

[@bicycle697]

Let's light this candle!!

[@spacekrebel2331]

LOVE new captions 👍🫡

[@tejalnaitikml5666]

Can't wait for the launch

[@Amowund]

the thing with different soundratcks is actually genius idea! (i'll always listen to your voice but still)

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

G'day John, watching from Melbourne Australia

[@NASASpaceflight]

Greetings from North Carolina! - Das

[@Cape_Cod_Steve]

👋 🇦🇺 Oi ! Oi ! Oi !

[@rjswas]

Hello from Tasmania.

[@CelikDeluXe]

Thx 4 the red team Membership how ever give it thx ❤

[@rjswas]

You would have got it from watching and being active in a live stream chat, it would have told you on there, i think you can also look in your profile to see who you got it from, they are randomly handed out to active people when someone does a gift sub drop.

[@kobuspitzer1868]

Narration is awesome as well as new sizes for fonts.

[@maryellensuter4301]

I really like the larger font.

[@elizabethhoeppner8881]

Yeah! I watched them take down the scaffolding on the launch mount. Launch day almost here!

[@MsPatti1606]

Happy New Year Das 🎉🎉

[@stevecoffman2559]

Love the narration!!

[@tommiprami]

Better to watch on phone now. Thanks

[@annsederquist]

Love this coverage!!

[@SuperiorDave]

0:48 "If you think you know everything about Starbase," my wife and I both fell out on the floor laughing at that one. Why would anyone want to miss comedy like that while watching paradise?

[@NASASpaceflight]

Heh. - Das

[@whodatcatt]

Love the commentary Thank you

[@anonymoususer3561]

I think all phones now are at least 1080p, but if it helps some people, oh well. The font isn't too big. Now it's very readable on the preview on the red line.

[@JoyceLynn-q3m]

Great takes ✨ Excited for launch. ❤️‍🔥

[@davidlabedz2046]

NSF, the larger font is much easier to read using a smartphone. Thank you!

[@fritzbloedow29]

I like the larger font, easier to read quickly, but I'm going to campaign for something else. Timestamps, this is for historical record, put the running timestamps on the footage, I know you could do it, then we can tell how long things actually too. Absolutely love all your hard work! Thanks again.

[@goodisgoog]

I just wish those red placeholder TPS tiles were permanent. Would be cool to see a red heat shield... well red before it hits peak heating

[@bideford7099]

Love the new don't size!!!

[@NASASpaceflight]

The what now? 😅 - Das

[@rjswas]

Font*

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

Love the content,well presented

[@user-jw7uv3ci3i]

Us older tank watchers appreciate the larger fonts!

[@sergiomg8500]

I❤ NSF

[@m.m.bruining7562]

I watch this episodes on tablet and tv. Big enough.

[@JakeSilvester]

New font size works!

[@chuckoak9027]

Like the font size

[@yulanshi8135]

Awesome 👏

[@Jackgtd2]

I agree that you should drop "orbital" from the pad name. Since there is no sub-orbital pad/mount there anymore there is no longer any reason to make a distinction between types. They are both just launch pads now (or mounts if you must).

[@k.c.sunshine1934]

00:40 Damn, that's a sexy looking booster!

[@chuckoak9027]

Great job Das!!!!

[@richardknapp570]

Kind of surprised the "chopsticks jig" was set up before IFT-7. New fonts are good. The Hippo being worked on appears to be behind a Booster Transport stand (foreground right) so that would put it at Sanchez, wouldn't it?

[@JoinTheNoob]

Watching on a phone... thanks for the bigger fonts😅

[@ericblanchard5873]

Can't wait till launch 7 and 8. Wish I could be there in person.

[@grzegorzzemojduk8097]

Boca Chica AirForce🤣 good one

[@DesignedbyWill2084]

1:28 Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that!

[@TheMrGoncharov]

Narrated is the best! 👍

[@JohanMsWorld]

Theyre checking the integrity of the wields. Perfectly normal thing to do after wielding heavy equipment. J.

[@kennethturner3160]

Very good content, thank you

[@tylorwilson9477]

Are they going to have too re paint OLM 1 after every launch? I think OLM 2 going to be way better for rapid reusability

[@imaginary_friend7300]

Maybe, some refurbishment between flights is common for most launch pads.

[@pladselsker8340]

I'm loving the new UI!

[@rjswas]

I think you mean fonts, UI means user interface, we cant use it so its not a UI... but in saying that, it does give us information, so i guess you are partly correct, not trying to be an ass, just being helpful.

[@pladselsker8340]

Well, your comment doesn't seem helpful to me. Just the usual internet nit-picking on words. You can't be just an ass, you're a human!

[@boatbyrd]

Thanks for your work. Don’t go overly corny on us please! 😂

[@GypsyTinker2012]

lmao, Thank you Das.

[@palehorse1511]

I work on the boosters. Yes, it's a VERY good sign when the OLM scaffolding is being removed, lol. Stay tuned, kids! Awesome things to ensue!

[@sandrineponcelet8jan1974]

@palehorse1511 🙂ThanX for having confirmed this huge info🙂. So maybe, 7th flight of Starship soon😃? Before BlueOrigin’s NewGlenn, then🤔? Do you know what for testing this Starship 7th flight, this time, would be? Will it still be in low orbit?

[@bryanillenberg]

@@sandrineponcelet8jan1974 Flight 7 suborbital, deploying ten starlink simulators.

[@LaurenceDunn-v6r]

If they take the alinment pins off before launch then how will they move the booster back onto the launch mount after its caught in order to catch the ship right after? Am I missing something? Colour me confused!

[@clayel1]

when the booster lands on the pad, it isnt really lined up for fueling and such

[@NASASpaceflight]

^Clayel got it. - Das

[@Barthhhelona]

Why is there a huge mess of I-beams welded to the top of the water cool deflector on the new launch mount?

[@imaginary_friend7300]

Are they welded or just sitting there?

[@rory-red]

looks great on my 75in OLED

[@dksaevs]

@ 6:00ish he was welding (MIG)

[@pj8593]

New font sites are great

[@Richard.Holmquist]

How do you turn on ambient only?

[@Richard.Holmquist]

Toggling ambient mode on in video settings doesn’t mute the narration overlay???

[@NASASpaceflight]

Change the audio track under the settings. - Das

[@Richard.Holmquist]

@ Hi, Das. That’s always worked on the longer videos, but for some reason, it didn’t work on this short video.. thanks for your reply. -Dick

[@59seank]

@@Richard.Holmquist It worked for me. It shows "Audio Track (2)" I prefer the sounds without commentary (no offense Das). It's like meditation for me.

[@jswebbproductions9785]

the way I do it is to click the settings icon and then select "audio track" and there are 2 options... select the "English (United States)" option. the "English original" is the track where dos speaks. I definitely enjoy the ambient track!

[@kevinknight6302]

I like the new bigger font

[@lezbriddon]

is it just me or is booster 14 not as shiny as previous, have we had a metal change for the rings?

[@physsed]

Font size is good

[@MongoosePreservationSociety]

i'll never turn off Das

[@johngarner6046]

Light em, catch em, and do it again. 😊

[@MiguelMunoz-wn6ic]

When is the launch?

[@DebraJean196]

I wanna know how they are going to move that huge LM to pad B. I just can’t imagine.

[@TonyStinger]

“Play in the boathole” is crazy

[@jwoak0913]

High fog or low clouds HAHA! Nice.

[@NASASpaceflight]

You be the judge 👍 -Das
