Inside SpaceX's Launch Site: The Starbase

Elon Musk’s dream of making life multi-planetary becomes ever more real with each passing day. Central to his vision is SpaceX’s first working spaceport, currently taking shape at breakneck speed out in the boondocks of South Texas. So what’s onsite already, what are those giant chopsticks everybody’s going on about, and what can we expect to see springing up next?

Inside SpaceX's Launch Site: The Starbase

[@vyomsachan1687]

I am so happy to hear that Texas is supporting Elon in his approach.

[@elihavalot8111]

Texas has been happy to have SpaceX hire so many people, buy so much land and build so much infrastructure for all kinds of reasons, realizing how Elon and his team have transformed rocketry and made space travel attainable at much lower costs. The payoff down the road could dwarf the efforts of NASA and other government sponsored rocket programs when the profits start pouring in from Starlink, not to mention space tourism, moon colonization and helium-3 extraction from the moon and its use in fusion reactors both on the moon and back on earth. Launching earth-orbiting satellites electrostatically from the moon would cost much less than blasting satellites into earth orbit from the earth, and could be powered by solar collectors. I'm concerned about the lack of blast protection for the GSE tank farm, though, especially the LOX and liquid methane tanks, which do not appear protected from that blast as the booster lifts off.

Texas has a very simple approach o regulations. Money talks, Bullshit walks. In Mexico, we call that "Mordíta" Some call that "conservative."

Space has become so close to us. When I was a kid, only governments and government organizations could send people to space. Not anymore! I wonder what it will be like for my kids generations.

[@capitalismisfairfucksocial3020]

We’ll see about that

“Space is the place to be.” The dream of mankind: to travel through space, spreading ourselves all over the universe. Now it is starting to happen. Thank you, Elon and SpaceX.

Are they actually catching the spaceship with chopstick arms....holy shit that's cool

[@florenciovela7570]

we went to Baca Chica from California to see the starship getting built..it was so awesome to see it LIVE

[@Melody615199999]

BOCA, not Baca

[@melgonz.6962]

I live in Houston and visited Boca Chica last week. I was on a dolphin watch boat when they were running the wet dress rehersal on the starship. It was so cool to see with all the frost. Also, walking up and down the empty beach just viewing this huge spaceship and getting so close to it was awesome. Its such a neat area, and I'm sure as time passes it will get built up more and more. I'm going to enjoy it while it's still a simple and unassuming, but I also can't wait to see what's in store.

It's funny hearing about the FAA not knowing about the tower until they saw a video. But I think that spaceX should at least try and work with them.

[@paulmoodiecellularhealthsp2097]

It is refreshing to someone doing things the way they should be done. The rest of humanity and in particular the bureaucrats should be put on notice.... innovate or be sacked. Time is short to move from old school expensive, not reusable and slow, to, affordable, reusable, and with a quick turnaround time. Imagine if Bezos and many others ran an airline!!! You would never get to fly.

At this point I've no doubt SpaceX will achieve everything they want.

No. Shop in Brownsville or Harlingen, or Matamoras.

Elon has a totally engineering approach, "I don't know how to get there, but I know how to move in he right direction." Almost the direct opposite of NASA, who needs to know every single step on the path.

[@roy.esummersjr7688]

I once had a dream as a kid and my father told me well son you should write it down in and remember it when you get older to tell somebody well since then I've lost the pictures but the dream is still very Vivid in my mind it's a basically anti-gravity making the ability of positive positive or negative negative gravity I just found it interesting that some of the space that speaks of Wheels within Wheels involving crystals that are sequins lead round in a Landing in a singular place hit by lasers that control the magnetic poles of the Earth intern crazy in prevent humans from dying in propulsion jumps of speeds and direction of speed a few more details I could tell you but I'll just keep that to myself

Interesting that NASA has indicated that they won't send their astronauts on a Muskovite Starship, neither will they have Mission Control to rely on. Why is NASA pulling its resources from SpaceX's killer adventures?

Spaces owns 3 of the cranes and bought a 4th that has not yet been delivered. Also the quick disconnect arm is for fueling the Starship not the booster. That’s 2 wrong statements corrected and I didn’t watch any further.
