Ship 33 Test Campaign Begins | SpaceX Boca Chica

[@zapfanzapfan]

Really interesting counter weight management on that crane.

[@AmgineIX]

Verticated is my new favourite word!

[@uunter]

Love the Richard Scarey reference. What a nostalgia hit! ❤

[@CandaceWatson-n8w]

Thanks again, Das. Merry early Christmas.

[@StevenIngram]

What catches my eye is how much cleaner the welds are on the upcoming starships. They seem almost seamless.

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

The rings in each 4-ring section are laser welded. I don't think they use lasers when welding the sections together.

[@jjamesh714]

Love these updates!

[@jeffreydrees1254]

Totally get the Richard Scary reference. One of my favorite childhood books. When I had my kids I made sure to read them the Richard Scary series.

[@loopy1957]

Look at the flaps on that! Das, that is the funniest thing ever! You are a star Sir!

[@thedogfather5445]

Too much time spent looking at space hardware Das!

[@ChrisS-k4p]

Das-ism of the day: 0:24-0:28 "when i joke about that i'm not kidding"

[@NiteCourt]

Hats off to all those guys just hangin around. Rigging is an awesome job. Every challenge is different. Those crane operators are the boss too!

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

Hi Mary i love all your work

[@Bqd23]

Das always enjoy your commentary. A few laughs😂 and more info on whats happening at starbase. Thanks for all the hard work to the whole NSF team. Amazing.

[@synthguy91]

9:02 I know exactly what you mean Das. I also had these picture books with construction sites and stuff I used to love to look at when I was a little kid, watching SBL is just like that for me.

[@julianblake5266]

Richard Scarry books are awesome for kids. Lowly Worm FTW.

[@NASASpaceflight]

We loved those things. Even had a Lowly stuffed animal. 😅 - Das

[@larryyost7411]

I do like the look of the almost seamless new boosters

[@BenjySparky]

Das and NSF, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Thanks for the update. Peace 🤘

[@AlexandarSterling]

Thanks John - it’s been a joy to see you all grow these last five years. When do we get the next jet washer video for the new FT design?! 😅

[@DavidToyzan]

Good stuff. Go Starship, go SpaceX. 🇺🇸

[@SkylerinAmarillo]

I loved Richard Scarry when I was a kid. All the details in the drawings were fun!

[@NASASpaceflight]

100% it was the details, always more to see, kinda like Starbase. - Das

[@AcidDotCom]

Nothing better than a good chuckle :) Also, spin primes are still exciting. I remember sitting for about 6h, watching tanks to see a little puff of 'smoke' under a water tower.

[@lordleonusa]

I really like your commentary, it's about the best on youtube, no clickbait unlike some of your peers. You are doing a great job.

[@NASASpaceflight]

High praise, thank you. - Das

[@benjaminrickdonaldson]

Something something sounds like why something something

[@DingosnutsTDB]

Das' commentary Rocks!

[@barometricfunk]

9:17 Das - Yes! I read Richard Scary a lot when I was a kid! Probably still have those books in a box somewhere. They did a cartoon series on it in the early 90s on Nickelodeon too. Good memories!

[@dphuntsman]

You’re continuin’ to do good, Das!

[@samwisekoi7574]

A Richard Scary Big Book of Spaceflight would be awesome. "Look Dad, it's the banana for scale!"

[@kAPNAk]

Really like and appreciate your commentary!

[@fritzbloedow29]

Richard Scary fan here, loved those books, TY for the memory and smile.

[@kennethworkman4918]

Das, Richard Scary was a reference I haven’t thought about in 20 years. Thanks.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Same, random neurons just fired when I saw that "busy" scene. - Das

[@jodakada]

Lol Spin prime tests... The Crane was cool. I appreciate all you guys at NSF, since before Star-hopper. The narrated updates are great and always crack me up. Lowly Worm!!

[@NASASpaceflight]

I mean, let's be honest about spin primes right? 😅 - Das

[@Feszy_]

9:01 Talking about Lowly Worm driving an apple in the Richard Scary books. I loved those. We know what you are talking about. And then followed by "Look at the flaps on that!" Cheers Das, I loved your KSP streams on twitch.

[@MarcusSHere23]

Great work, thank you NasaSapceFlight! Cheer John! 0:00

[@T-rent2018]

Been liking the Das narration on these videos.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Appreciate it! - Das

[@JasonGerbes101]

+1 for featured comments

[@WilboBaggins-dm7ub]

WOW thats a way more interesting LR11000 with the awesome counterweight hydraulic mechanism...not to mention a smashing colour. In action at last!!

[@basbekjenl]

Is it okay to still be shocked that every starship made it through re-entry so far? The catch was amazing but the re-entry is still the event that shocks me the most out of everything. From the little flap that could to the new heatshield that did so much better to the aggressive re-entry on a skimpy old version heatshield. Like what an insane event to renter something the size of shuttle, I guess that is also why people adored the shuttle so much.

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

Have you forgotten IFT1-3?

[@searay390my]

Das, I watch all our narrated videos, keep up the good work, you do a great job.

[@AllThingsSpace33]

love these videos Das is Awesome as a commentator

[@michaelmergens1424]

Happy to help with the acronym video.

[@NASASpaceflight]

It's already recorded 👍 - Das

[@fastamx069box8]

Hey Das, You do read all of the comments and I know that we appreciate you for this.... PS, I'm the one that took you up on the offer to have you do a video on the Math. Are you guys doing calendars for 2025??? Kindest Regards and God bless you and your family. ThanX

[@NASASpaceflight]

Yeah, calendars are a bit late, but on the way. - Das

[@maineiac1513]

Love the commentaries, and love the updates! I don’t think I’ve missed one of these updates in over a year! Thank you team for doing this and keeping us up to date on what’s going on in Starbase, helps keep us in the loop from the opposite side of the country! ❤

[@smassky]

Dang it, i saw the short about the static fire and some how missed the premiere for this. Great work all around! 😃🚀🤓

[@NOM-X]

Need to make a short of 33 static fire. Thanks Das. if you still want some Military gear, let me know. "work only with Irion sites."

[@articlev7472]

Of course, CHICKEN LEGS got first. Well I got my Flight 6 patch today!!!

[@NOM-X]

Das, how long have you ever watched a tank? Its like watching a rock grow.

[@riparianlife97701]

Yes! Richard Scarry's Busytown!

[@iandennis1]

Thanks for the update Das. You are the David Attenborough of rockets

[@NASASpaceflight]

I'll take it 😅 - Das

[@texastopshotsphotography2997]

Loved the Richard Scary books. I believe his name was Lowly Worm.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Yeah that was it. With the apple car. 😅 - Das

[@patgalloway2228]

Hi das 😊

[@rjudge5505]

Love the "verticated". Great narration as always. And I am a 61 year old nerd.

[@MightyUnlikely]

Das making reference to Richard Scarry books (and the Worm driving a car) made me 🤣 for a while. "Those of a certain age" know, and if the Galloway household included these GREAT educational resources it clearly turned out well (Das is much smarter than the average Bear). BTW> wasn't a Scarry book character for a cop = Bear? I guess that was era appropriate as well (CB radio slang = "Smokies").

[@NASASpaceflight]

Right? 80s kids, probably. Between Richqrd Scarry, LEGO, hot glue and cardboard, and living in the country, seemed to work out ok. 😅 - Das

[@dancingdog2790]

Ship 33 flaps are in Hug Mode

[@michaelcox1071]

Thanks, Das!

[@renebbenny-yc3jj]

nice work

[@eva.alsoofi]

Hvala NASA 👍🇺🇲🚀💫💫💫

[@lyricbread]

Hi Das!

[@scottymoondogjakubin4766]

Pretty soothing video !

[@pic_liam]

4:42 The stars at night, are big and bright, 👏👏👏👏, Deep in the Heart of “Starbase”… 🎶🎵

[@Cosmo_Sim]

Has there been any known progress on the ship catch pin systems?

[@ferdi5407]

GO SpaceX! Keep DAS busy

[@joemillar7469]

Probably missed it, but have the bumper pads on the chopsticks that were damaged on the catch been replaced?

[@chrisbatherton]

love the crane stuff it was soooo cool

[@redmunds1565]

So what are the two animals running around between 1:45 to 1:54?

[@dianetoombs868]

Fascinating ❤

[@Raptor_Engine]

amazing the scale of the workers on chopsticks!

[@lukepearson4899]

Are the vertical tanks for the air liquifaction plant that spacex were planning on building?

[@chrschmitzi]

At 8:55 it reminds me of "find Waldo"🤣

[@moodyblues1365]

the 2 lift pins you can see on ship 33, do you think they will be sticking out like that for flight, or will they fold out when it's ready to land?

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

I doubt they can use removable pins. But welding on internal pins that would pop out during landing is not out of the question. They have to be as strong enough as the ones on the booster, but remember those on the booster are immovable. Will be interesting to see the solution.

[@JB4Cycling]

Did the cryo stand go "Wee wee wee" all the way there? 🤣

[@Impractical_Engineering]

What is that light under one of the chopstick arms? Is that new?

[@S24-Lee]

@NASASpaceflight - Das you've labeled this as ambient again 😂😂

[@NASASpaceflight]

No, seems to be correct on this end? - Das

[@S24-Lee]

It's in the main description the video says narrated in orange but when you open it it says ambient

[@joscubadiver]

It's not we don't like listening to you it's that your soo Happy with your tech 😳

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

hey John i want to use the new word in my vocabulary if i could, verticated i love it

[@NASASpaceflight]

Hey, it's an easily understandable word! Hah. - Das

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

@NASASpaceflight cheers mate

[@mikegardner107]

Why do they have vertical tanks again?

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

Hi John

[@MrCocoriver]

the outer shell from welding is slag just sayn. we use a chipping hammer and wire brush to clean the weld

[@tylerfrench2402]

Do you guys think they will update the OLM to the same one on tower two?

[@MakersEase]

Is that the space x logo on the ship disconnect - as the stiffening ribs?? Imagine working there and saying - hey you know this brace could be moved a little bit - and it will work as a space-x logo too?

[@o0shad0oo]

Will OLM1 be scrapped after OFT7?

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

Only SpaceX knows. Unlikely, because OLM2 is far from ready to replace OLM1.

[@AgentLeon]

Why would it be? Its fine!

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

@@AgentLeon Elon has said it will be, that's all.

[@HomerKM1914]

Why are they putting up more Vertical tanks when they took the 8 BIG vertical ones down?

[@TheOnlyAnji]

Is RRT-1 today or rescheduled again?

[@BeautyPawnTV]

If i were to choose a location where to film a terminator movie, i believe that starbase could be a perfect place for the scene where the terminator arrives from the future, at times it really has that atmosphere especially at night.

[@Krypton-ct7kn]

What time does it start?

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

"it"?

[@nirbhay_raghav]

This format is the best thing ever happened to NSF after that IFT-1 van assault! By the wayyy, always wondered about something, Das is an Indian surname. So anybody Indian on your parent's side or is it something else entirely!

[@hazelnut11022]

The crab stand at 0:41 min looks like Darth Vader!!! Anybody but me seeing this? lol

[@Trish_Stevens]

Look at the flaps on that....Das classic!! 😂😂

[@chiron9948]

They removed the vertical tanks for horizontal ones, now the construct them again; why?

[@Waikatotek]

“Look at those flaps” 😂😂

[@stargot1]

00:30 I always disagree with you when i sleep. i am always sleeping 😂

[@seanplaystoomuch]

It’ll be so interesting to see how much less work the new launch mount and deluge system will require. Too bad we can’t see how much maintenance the Masseys setup requires

[@StephanCorbin]

Majestueuse

[@aco2518]

Vertical tanks at the launch site?? They must feel very confident about the new flame trench!

[@YouT-DJ]

Its like watching software that evolves hardware/bioware. In the old days - okay it flew don't touch it! SpaceX - It flew keep changing stuff!!

[@MrCocoriver]

huge counter weights

[@Chickenlegs836]

BOK BOK 1ST:)) Lets Gooooooo🚀🚀🚀

[@articlev7472]

My phone says I have to translate your comment to English. LoL

[@furkandincerov5807]

Hello

[@eva.alsoofi]

Bravo SpaceX 👍🚀🇺🇲👏👏👏

[@WernherVonKerman.]

They should put the ares 1 rollercoaster in for crew escape

[@Tmccreight25Gaming]

Do we know yet what booster will be the first V2? Booster 20 perhaps?

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

Not yet.

[@furkandincerov5807]

Hiii

[@timelord7566]

No 200 but I Take My Time ✌⌛😎

[@slevinshafel9395]

3:15 i like more this coments. THank you for improving.
