It's Mind-blowing! SpaceX revealed NEW INSIDE Starship factory manufacturing Shocked NASA...

This Aerospace company is the future. The dinosaurs are falling by the wayside.

Oh! didn't it happen?

Good Morning my Friend. Hydroforming Stainless steal on an object that massive is a technique He had to develop. That's insane. I wish I could see the process. I've been in manufacturing my entire life. This has to be a drop in the bucket to the new manufacturing processes Elon Has developed. Great Episode. Very Educational. Tell me more about the manufacturing processes. You're in my wheelhouse. Again Great Episode. Have a Great Day my Friend.

I wish I could show you!

Man, this guy can talk...

Hydroforming isn't an exact process. Predicting springback on multi contoured parts can be an iterative process. I Haven't been in the industry for quite a while but I'm guessing computers help in predicting. Also the material itself isn't always consistent.

what is inside the crew section right now when the ship is testing? empty space or prelim design with skeleton instruction?

[@alphatech4966]

it is definitely in progress

@@alphatech4966 I know. but how about now? because it will relate to balance and strength.

A starship everyday?!? Wow! Impressive.😉🚀😂

Go Elon GO! better leave Musk alone! He has already saved live unlike others that are costing them...

The "Orbital Orca" is born, it will grow a lot bigger in its life time... Also production will morph as they go. Its still crude, but they learn every day... And there's starting to be a herd of straggler startups chasing after SpaceX, and starting to be all kinds of side ventures related to it. We are looking at the birth of an actual new industry. Beyond the experimental phase and individual production era. This will go like other major industries in human history.. Ship building, Vehicles, Aircraft, now being built all over the planet. Space ships will be the same thing only different, its not gonna be limited to just Earth's surface... With them, we can start building even bigger things in orbit, on the Moon, and even on or around Mars... And as they are still figuring out, Raptor 3 engines are the new paradigm, the engine that changed everything. Evidently they recently test fired one 34 times in ten minutes, thats a 17 plus second cycle time. And likely had some off time, so firing in 10 to 15 second bursts.. What that means is they can rapid fire and space out burns, and get around the old throttling problem in rocket engines. And if burst firing two or more engines, can adjust thrust pretty steadily for a fraction of one engine, up to several full time for things like landings. Its another dimension to thrust control. Also they have finally realized the engines could be used as directional thrusters. Sure their control from the tail model will evolve over time, and eventually we'll see Raptor like remote thrusters. And when that happens the hull designs will start to advance too. And with more developed hulls, will come different construction and production methods. Which will require new factories. As the ships will be alot different in size and shape. Also going bigger, they will need thicker hulls, and get more substantial structure to them. Right now they are like flying beer cans. but the volume goes up 4x every time you double the diameter... And the first doubling is supposedly planned with V-3.... At 18 meters, around 60 ft. thats a pretty fair area in floor space per deck. Your average decent sized house. And I'm currently living in almost a tiny house at 20 ft square. Meaning a single deck would feel like a barn floor in comparision, and there will be a stack of them, and they'll fly super sonic... And we could see future models run decks the other direction, if they use remote thrusters and angled launches. Pretty awesome tech coming, and it wont be slow. And everybody else will have to jump in to get a piece of market share. Making ships and everything else to go with the Space Industry. Its a new economy. And an open ended one, infinite growth potential. the only limit is velocity, and the speed of light is more likely a barrier than an actual limit. Only gets better from here, unless you let the Cat Lady types stop it. Decision in a week... Your vote counts. We need to send the world a signal that we are serious about this. Elon has been working hard to help on this Election. This ship, makes this election the most important in history. Dont let them stop our ships from happening.

The one advantage of this system you did not mention.... point to point travel, where you can fly from lets say the UK to Australia in less than it takes to get from Scotland to London which is around 6 to 7 hrs and by plane hrs and hrs.. Every year I'd fly to the USA for my vacation, that's a journey of 10 to 12hrs, albeit I don't think I'd be able to afford to fly on it as it would cost more than it would to fly on concord and in today's prices that would be a one way trip costing about £12k. The booster itself has scope to launch all sorts if coupled with a cheap non reusable stage or two, think Saturn 5 on steroids with the main powerhouse being the only reusable unit,. heck you could send up over 200 tons probably, even a full moon shot.. The future of this system allows for many verients.
