Ship 29 Rolled Out for Full Starship Stack Testing | SpaceX Boca Chica

Ship 29 was rolled out to the Orbital Launch Site and was being prepared to be lifted for full stack tests, before later retreating to allow additional Booster 11 testing. Also, SpaceX continues to prepare the launch site for the fourth Starship test flight.

I greatly enjoy these episodes. There is no talking, no music, just straightforward action and a touch of sound effects to clearly report what is going on at SpaceX. The only suggestion I would offer is dating the work, like May, week three, 2024.😍😍😍

[@samos_sainz]

3:00 I love that... I've done that too: the welder sparking to light the mate's torch. 😎

[@smavtmb2196]

Hopefully Ship 31 is repairable. It likely is. It's been sometime since we've seen an unexpected anomaly/ damage to anything during pre- flight testing.

[@MrKellymcilrath]

More great video footage Mary, Jack, & NSF, Thank you!!

[@clayel1]

heh, i love the nudge by the crane at 4:07

[@NOM-X]

The size comparison with the sticks gives you a better understanding on just big Zilla is. Amazing! Thanks NSF!

[@corrinastanley125]

Thanks NSF team, I always appreciate seeing the things I have missed while sleeping.

[@MickRonald]

Thank you for the latest time lapse video. Always appreciated!

[@jcdavis5871]

Can there be a remembrance video for the suborbital site? I can't believe I've watched Pad B from build to demolish

[@smacksman]

In the UK I get £700 a ton for scrap stainless steel. There is a few bob in those tanks.

[@meinking_sensei3807]

just finished work and see a new Vid. always sweet

[@rustynuts89836]

To work with that crew would be awesome.

[@sonjamarnewick3438]

The size of that ship keeps on astonishing me. I forget, and then i see a human walking next to that trolley 😅😳😁

[@bryanillenberg]

And it's only going to get bigger!

[@bcrisp56]

Thanks for the great camera work! Will NSF have permanent cameras at Masseys now?

[@RetroClaire]

Love the wide shots. It's nice to see close up details but you really get the sense of scale from the wide views from the road

[@Behnanovski]

Wonderful

[@Excalium]

Awesome video on starbase progress!

[@jonesjoyce1215]

Thank you very much for the report in images and in writing. You really are impeccable. Top! 👏👏💝🍀🌟🤗

[@nandisaand5287]

The thumbnail had me hopeful for a minute cuz S29 got rolled away from the Chopstix last night. No idea where it went as yet.

[@IsabellaIsabella-mc1tx]

Hi NSF team wonderful video ❤

[@RC30Kay]

Love this...welcome return to the old format

[@ThexBorg]

All that beautiful steel.

[@danapeck5382]

Thanks!

Go Space X go Starlink

[@jennysalerno4625]

IFT-4! Soon?!🔥🚀

[@SteveC84]

When? I try to look it up but I get 3 to 5 weeks..

[@bryanillenberg]

@@SteveC84 Thats all the info we have. Predictions vary from 5/31/24 to 6/28/24 (with less realistic predictions both earlier and later)

[@hontiveros1445]

w0w so they already made almost 30 ships?? i remember watching the SN1 , i wonder how many more they will make until this ship can be fully do its supposedly purpose like falcon 9

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

They have skipped many on the way.

[@GlennTillema]

"Raceway Anomaly" is the name of my new band

[@Dunkaroos420]

It’s…. It’s beautiful

[@Dunkaroos420]

😢

[@chris_d-triple_three]

Where was the full stack?

[@cipedead0777]

Will the FAA need to look into that little fire?

[@C1DIP]

Almost time to drive down from Houston.

[@berkiaskyclan2948]

They really are getting them to move faster aren’t they

[@Bratfalken]

Exceeding the speedlimit on the straight! 🤣

[@ingridhohmann3523]

You don't realize how big the rocket is until its. Inside

[@420Susthings]

Hear me out lab created diamonds for the heat shield? 😅

[@audriusg1536]

Are there will be some improvements with second tower?

[@theonlyalan731]

Probably

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

Undoubtedly.

[@joshuaholliday2517]

So no full stack yet?

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

fly ship29 fly free

[@antanask5038]

🙂

[@mongolloyd8310]

The orbital portion (Starship), is tested on a sub-orbital mount, while the sub-orbital portion (Booster), is tested on a orbital mount? I feel like I am taking crazy pills.

[@bryanillenberg]

The OLM is used to launch orbital vehicles, and can interface with the booster. The suborbital pads were used to test the upper stage, as they were built for early hop testing, which weren't even suborbital. They were atmospheric

[@michig10]

First maybe

[@BETTERTOMARROW]

Made in America 🇺🇸1st

[@owensparks5013]

Elon : Let's make humans multiplanitary. Americans : Merica 🇺🇸🏈🦅 🤦‍♂️

[@timreed353]

Unfortunately it's been moved away from the olm

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

Just to give them room to fix the chopsticks.

[@bryanillenberg]

And it's back (EDIT: S29 is on B11 now for potential WDR)

[@00kt86]

Will Elon have a penthouse apartment put on top of the new office building? He should at least have a bed put in so he doesn't have to sleep on the couch!!

[@antonybastin3432]

👍👍👍🇮🇳

[@JimMZed]

Pease do away with the orange border on the thumbnail. It is difficult to distinguish between it and the red history bar KZbin inserts on the thumbnail.

[@actionstachman1925]

According to their timeline with NASA, this program should have them landing on the moon by now. They're not even close to fulfilling that!

[@johnfisher7143]

They’re building a time machine to fix that

[@bryanillenberg]

And according to NASA's original timeline, Artemis 1 would have been in 2016. So, don't point at just SpaceX and say 'your holding up the moon landing", cause Boeing and Northrop Grumman are far more guilty than SpaceX.

[@actionstachman1925]

@@bryanillenberg You should learn about the profound level of corruption that led to SpaceX being awarded the contract. Jaw-dropping.
