Booster 7 Explosion - A Detailed Examination of the Complex Mechanical Systems Involved.

[@steveo6034]

This channel is ridiculously good. Zack can just hold your attention with his detailed yet simple explanations. Well done sir!🚀

[@blakek1043]

One of the best channels for Starship content. Big fan. Zack is the real deal.

I’m blown away too! Been watching the other mainstream ones for a while and missed his!

Absolutely! Great info (and funny!)

This is among the greatest things ever put on KZbin. What Tim Dodd does for rockets you're doing for infrastructure.

[@dannyunixanalyst9018]

What he said. Yeah sure it's a year old, but I'm here and I just saw this. God damn this is good stuff.

[@johnomeara7240]

Great episode. The intricate detail you provide really shows that the channel name is very appropriate. I've learned more about the Starship system from your videos than any other source.

[@John-jr4dj]

It's not a great episode. It's much more than that, in all seriousness. It's proper journalism. The critical examination, and most crucially, *re-examination* of the available evidence to give crucial insight not otherwise available. They've given lesser journalists prizes for less and that's a fact.

[@chrisquinn8150]

I loved the deep dive into the launch mount, I had heard that much of the launch infrastructure for the booster was going to be integrated into the launch mount to save weight and space on the booster but had no idea how extensive those systems were. the legs was an obvious one but all of the priming and starting system for 24 of the 33 engines is quite alot more. Thank you, this was an excellent episode!

[@myyklmax]

The reason why the igniters for the 20 outer boosters are on the mount is because, once MECO and SSEP, I suspect that those 20 engines do not get relighted for Boostback and/or Reentry Burns. The center 13 (gimble) engines would handle those tasks; as well as the Landing Burn.

[@ChristopherTurner1982]

This is going to be so good. You should be getting a Pulitzer for your investigative work.

[@Krishnajha20101]

I agree. STEM journalism is extremely underrepresented in Pulitzers.

[@jonathanmuntz433]

Great job, I love the deep dive explanations and engineering viewpoint. Solid work Zack/Zach!!!

[@MrAltairantares]

That is insanely good info. To be honest I think it's the single best starbase video I've watched, and I've watch quite a few. You turn so much complex detail into understandable info. So freaking cool.

[@chloedance9316]

Dude that was, by far, the most fascinating SpaceX video I have ever watched! I had no idea that Stage Zero was so incredibly complex. Incredible work!

[@tekish7682]

Lots a work here. And damn good work too. Thanks! I can't wait to see the changes in the Launch Table 2 if we are ever gonna get a peek. Great Job Zack

[@AlienVibesss]

This was an AWESOME video Zack! I've been following you on Twitter for a while, and was extremely excited when you uploaded your first video when B7 tried to implode on itself. Thank you, SO much for continuing these amazing deep dives! I am OBSESSED. Please don't even worry about long videos again. 55 minutes? No problem. I'm gonna watch it all regardless of how long it is! I actually prefer the longer format, and if you started doing 2 hour videos, I'd still love it just as much!

[@jackgregory9014]

Really excellent work. Backing up what you say with images (like the QDs moving from the shop to the OLM) really makes a difference.

[@kewlkeith]

"The over pressure is the notice" I'm in stitches hahaha. Thanks for another incredible dive into Stage 0 and the infrastructure around Starbase

[@JeremyVinny]

This was a treat. So much detail I watched it twice.👏

[@mikederrenberger5372]

I am left nearly speechless after this video. Zack, this is an enormous and consequential amount of work/insights! Thanks for sharing the detailed investigative process that you use to piece together progress at stage zero Star Base stage. It is both highly entertaining and hugely informative. LOL, you should definitely watch your back as you clearly have the knowledge and talent for sluething out engineering details! If you need someone to vouch to your boss after your abduction, I and many others would be happy to stand up for you.

[@edgareler]

Man, you''re the best! 55 min is wild, congrats to you and the editors for the hard work! You created by far the most entertaining space-related channel on KZbin.

[@t.a.r.s4982]

Unfair! You deserve so much more members on your channel, your work is really astonishing and so interesting!

[@adriank8792]

This was so good! I don't know how you do what you do, but i love it. We're getting so close to a 33 raptor static fire. These next few months are going to be exciting

[@tedhammond3631]

10 thumbs up, Zack! You are an incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable engineer with the additional talent of being able to effectively communicate the subject matter to an average person. Thank you so much for your contribution to our understanding of SpaceX's accomplishments.

[@munster5192]

Ive been waiting!!! I WATCHED THE OTHER EPISODES OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!

[@dslinger7897]

Zack, I needed to say that your insight into the building and daily goings on of all things Space X is second to none. You truly are a phenomenal detective! You put Felix, Tim, Marcus and Scott to shame. Your ability to notice such obscure details when piecing together the extremely complicated parts that the Space X personnel a building. To do so without any blueprints for prototypes of never built before equipment, nobbt T-Mobile mention the complexity of it all truly boggles my mind. Because of this. Your abilities earned you the prestigious honourable of being the very first channel I subscribe to. I’ve watched KZbin for years and although I have many favourite channels that I watch on a regular basis I have never deemed them worthy of my subscription. God speed Zack.

[@lenhumbird]

I joined today. I've only seen a few of your videos, but it was enough to convince me that you had worthy content. Looking forward to the next informative video!

[@GoCoyote]

You are the kind of person I really appreciate: Brave enough to be goofy, serious enough to do great work, detail oriented to catch all the details, and with the kind of intelligence that can put it all together when it just passes the rest of us by. Thank you for helping me understand such a complex structure, and in such a fun way.

An incredible effort which leaves no question unanswered - well, not of any consequence. Zack deserves every space nerds subscription.. do it now ! (Please)

[@Rxke]

The quality of your material blows my mind. It really really does.

[@bgdx.5049]

The complexity of the job you do is mind blowing. I always expect something challenging before each one of your episodes, but this one surpasses all previous ones. I must admit, that due to your insight and talent, I can grasp the complexity of the jobs which were taken away from the rocket itself and transferred to Stage 0. The principle is remarkably simple, yet the actual launch table that resulted is the most complex orbital launch mount ever built by far. This also explains the delays that pushed 1st orbital launch date so far.

This channel is one of, if Not Thee Best channel there is. Zack is a Brilliant and very insightful and picks up on the smallest of clues to figure out what is going through the minds of the engineers at SpaceX. To be Honest, I can’t believe that Zack is Not working at SpaceX in their engineering department. With his brilliant translation of the clues that he sees and his common sense approach to every angle there is available. Zack really thinks things through and doesn’t speculate on anything until he has proof to back up his theories. I really love this channel and enjoy every episode that comes out. I know it takes a lot of work to put videos out, but I can’t help but want more 😎

[@CSIStarbase]

Pfftt.. I'm not going to watch a one hour video on a spin up test. One hour later. THAT WAS AMAZING! Really loving the videos. The only thing I would appreciate is summaries/clarifications as you're going along. Things might seem pretty obvious but a lot of people won't understand. I had to stop and think a bit to know what exactly you were talking about. Think of your story like buliding a multi story cake. After every layer is done summarize and clarify it. Then go on to the next layer.

[@CSIStarbase]

I can see what you mean. I kind of thought by not giving summaries it would motivate people to rewatch. A lot of things that can get missed the first time around
