SpaceX Doesn't Stop Building Ahead of Starship's Flight 8 - SpaceX Weekly

This week at Starbase the launch site was a hive of activity, with crews hard at work on the new launch tower, the ever expanding tank farm, and managing a continuous stream of concrete equipment and other deliveries. With the frenzy of work at the launch site continuing throughout the week, SpaceX also sent Test Tank 16 back to the Massey Outpost, did some landscaping outside the new Office building, and prepared for Booster 15's relocation to the launch site. Meanwhile, out in Florida, with thick fog putting a damper on any launch viewing opportunities, marine traffic indicated that it was still business as usual for Falcon 9 operations.

Just can't get enough of these updates. Thank you!

[@grumpygreg7505]

Thank you for another outstanding summary! I really enjoy these. Thank you for stopping the jerky scenes that broke my eyeballs.

[@Liberty4Ever]

Thank you LabPadre. I love these weekly videos and they're going to be a boon to future historians interested in the sudden explosion in aerospace development half a century after humans first ventured into space. Eagerly awaiting IFT-8! Go Starship! Go SpaceX!

[@OhShiitakeMushrooms]

Super Bowl? Who cares, I’m here to watch the star base weekly update.

[@moodyblues1365]

Thanks LabPadre team! You cover a lot of information concisely.

[@LabPadre]

You're welcome!

Space Kerens death trap tin can will never carry any humans. Just stop with the nonsense. Humans can not live on mars and they don’t like crashing into the Indian Ocean.🤪

[@peterbretherton3546]

Any update on when the next test flight might happen?

[@erickdanielsson6710]

Thanks!!! Great update. Question? The road into Boca Chica, what condition is it now? I visited there in 2021 and the road was narrow and had some bad sections. Has it been Widened, or new surface. So Much heavy traffic.

[@carlossarasty1050]

When are they releasing the starship model SS ?

[@ianPedlar]

Workers, they should at least be called engineers, they'ze working on spaceships man!

[@BRO0O0O0DER]

11:35 I also have a poster of the planets of the solar system in my bedroom but doesn't mean that my number one goal and purpose is making life multiplanetary

[@RosinaMarquezez-v1g]

Very interesting topic! Looking forward to more videos from you! 👅💋

[@OGcomputer11]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@clyderainsbury2868]

What a pity that musk has turned into the orange monster’s sidekick.

[@farmerpete6274]

this SpaceX, not politics etc. Obey the site rules!

[@menothjohn]

So...in the 1930's and 40's, a certain leader was building rockets that were at the very forefront of technology for the time. The V1 and V2 were truly revolutionary...would you be here worshiping at the feet of that leader the way you are this current fascist? Just asking.

[@johnd.7792]

Recent activity has proven that Musk had little to do with speed and precision of spacex... This is the work of thousands of people like you and I, not from some fraudulent nitwitted billionaire.

[@therealchrislamont]

its a shame the whole team is tainted by Musk, shareholders need to get rid of him

[@farmerpete6274]

This is a SpaceX site, not a political platform. Obey the site rules.

[@therealchrislamont]

tough shit, nazis dont get a free pass

As usual with lab padre-- news that is 2 weeks old!

honestly? Don't you understand what comprises a 'weekly' update?
