SpaceX Prepared for Upcoming Starship Flight 5 | SpaceX Boca Chica

[@MrKellymcilrath]

Thanks DAS awesome commentary! Thank you & NSF!

[@yakirgr]

We NEED a joint DAS+Jack commentary!!!

[@locomanjim1554]

Thanks Dos for coming back to the announcement side of the channel along with all the other things you do for NSF...

[@ryanhamstra49]

Love the narration!! I listen at work so a video with no narration is pretty useless unless I really focus. With narration I can look at it when something interesting happens

[@WilboBaggins-dm7ub]

1.14M subscribers would so love to count the blessings the staff at NSF have become used to. Keep counting them. You are truly blessed to be so close to the action at Starbase. You deliver to the rest of us both reality and dreams. xx

[@geraint8989]

I love it when a plan comes together [🎶 DUN, DUN-DUN… 🎶]

[@t.a.r.s4982]

Amazing shots with the turtle and the dolphin! Thx Das and the team

[@johnwiebe8581]

I love this guys talking! Thank you Das for doing the commentary.

[@corrinastanley125]

Watch out David Attenborough, Das and Jack are coming for your job. Great video by Jack and Mary🌺🌺🌺 , thanks NSF team for another informative update.

[@davidg3944]

"Here we see a Pancake Plate in its native habitat".

[@KerbalsandWackMacs]

Thanks for another update! Wow, things changed so quickly

[@toddincabo]

Those "pancake plates" looked as if they came straight from a NY suburb. The dolphin escort was cool. That was a Long Turtle.

[@konkam744]

all my thought encapsulated in a single comment, what a day

[@rchorseman]

DAS in Boca is great to hear…

[@CT_Nea]

The UFO joke was S tier comedy btw. 😂

[@scottwheeler2494]

When they load pyro to the self destruct devices i will know that SpaceX is serious about launching.

[@BrianMoore-tc2xe]

A dolphin named Tank would give a whole new meaning to Tank watching.... Sawyer take note... lol

[@realfoggy]

Great pun. Here's a token of my appreciation!

[@DebraJean196]

Maybe a turtle named Tank? Easier to keep track of lol

[@lyricbread]

8:28 Mary is the best! 😂

[@jrdaparker]

Love the Das commentary! Otherwise I probably wouldn’t have looked for the dolphins or the sea turtle. Very cool!

[@DebraJean196]

All too true! I watch on an iPhone and miss a lot of things I think, but now that they have these narrated versions (thanks Das!) I can more easily “see” what extra details the pics are focused on. Makes me wonder what I’ve been missing all this time 😢

[@fredpryde8555]

thank you to all the team for there hard work getting these views to us to see how progress going

[@DebraJean196]

Das commentary - DOLPHINS!!!! Awesome!!!!!!

[@MyNameisRahl]

I love this guy talking!

[@bryanillenberg]

So, if B12 gets caught, will it be static fired, or just put on display? Hoping for a Static fire of all 33 engines once more

[@EMichaelBall]

Probably just torn apart and studied.

[@garner6583]

You can tell, because of the way that it is! Love the VGG shout out!

[@johnmeleen9065]

Dolphin watching is more exciting than tank watching 😀

[@war_fish]

i was drinking cola with ice and accidently swallowed a ice "cube" lol my throat is freezing, luckily it wasnt big enough to get stuck

[@michaelcox1071]

Thanks for the update, Das!

[@zerofox9900]

Das been watching VGG

[@caseysimon2098]

the way dos critiques the video edit is great! Dolphin and pancake plate watch hahaha.

[@shanghai264359]

More brilliant shots from Mary!

[@roxy5265]

As always super informative, you voice is just pure gold for this narrated part of nsf. Keep this up!

[@georgem1290]

The very best part in this video @ 06:00. Das Beatboxing.. I just love that ^^ Techno Das.. Welcome to Thunderdome =)

[@hashmagandy2012]

@ 1.57 “as the clouds ROIL in the background” - exemplary use of the English language. 👏👏👏Well dun DAS, ewe mustv gon to a gud skool. 😊

[@NASASpaceflight]

Lots of SAT vocabulary worksheets! 😅 - Das

[@robertvanrees]

Could the parking garage cladding be sound suppression? It's mainly on the launch side of starbase.

[@rednammoc]

That cladding is on the south-west wall (facing Sanchez), so facing away from the launch site.

[@AmgineIX]

It’s actually facing away from the pad

[@DebraJean196]

Mary, it is so totally cool to meet another female structure “geek”. I would have wandered around that truck looking at the pancake piece for the longest time I could get away with! And I would totally sit watching traffic at the port with Julia for hours as well!!! I can dream of being there with you two someday as part of a bucket list vacation!

[@anthonycamilleri7297]

thank you DAS and Mary

[@MoonlytSonata023]

Suggestion: put a "no commentary audio track available" as an overlay at a very start of the video and maybe include a brief instruction on how to switch to that. BTW, I preferred this narrated format of "not so daily" Starbase updates. This is just for those who wants the "old" format and not fond digging into youtube settings.

[@derekmillar5407]

Come on NASA ,, it is time for you to step forward and take over the Licencing of Starship launches if you want to reach the Moon anytime soon. 😂✌

[@DuaneThompson-hw8xz]

"Anything can be a UFO if you're not very good at identifying flying objects"....😂

[@ThePhantomRocket]

Waiting for dolphin cam. Just a camera at CC or Brownsville for watching boats come in and out

[@JaneGrimshaw-kp7vn]

Thank you Das...great as always.😊

[@causewaykayak]

9:28 How do they weld those things in such confined spaces. (pancake plate with welders code scrawled on).

[@Pintuuuxo]

I really think that SpaceX should ask NSF for some collaboration in the future footage of the 5th launch of Starship. There are always a bunch of details that you guys show and talk about, but SpaceX is focused on other things. Well, it looks like we won't have to wait until the end of November. Some relief with that! Let's all help with the show. 🚀

[@BenjySparky]

Jack and NSF, y'all rock! Peace

[@oldmanstumpie1061]

Nice work NSF.

[@skunkworks1]

Thanks NSF team

[@Calmarius]

10:35 You can see the Lyra constellation and head of Draco constellation in the background. It gives a hint which direction the camera looks and what it's field of view is.

[@lynnekingsley9319]

@NASA love to hear you again, miss you 😅

[@peterhobson3583]

The numbers on the I beam could indicate the welding sequence to minimise distortion.

[@NASASpaceflight]

Huh, that's interesting! Never thought of it, but makes sense 👍 - Das

[@MyNameisRahl]

That internal railing on the office building is more than likely safety glass like a car's windshield, Das.

[@toddincabo]

👍 Will it go 'round in circles? Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

[@KarenBaker616263]

My Next Spaceflight app say " Starship Flight 5" Starship - Super Heavy (Prototype) Starbase Texas, USA Sunday 5am!!!

[@slabrankle9588]

Das said the quiet part out loud about UFOs.

[@Nauttoo]

Full steam ahead !

[@Prime_Aviation]

Boca Chica Airforce 😂😂

[@WilboBaggins-dm7ub]

Perfect

[@nicepixels8076]

YEAAH FLIGHT 5 HYPE IS REAL 🗣️🔥

[@jhill4874]

Imagine "strapping" 2 Falcon Heavy side boosters to the first stage.

[@dougisherwood]

Those look like sections for the launch table hold down clamping system

[@JasroopSinghhh]

Where are the olm 2 parts coming from??

[@eeclarkutube]

Looking forward to it

[@johngunderson5463]

what are the odds SpaceX recovered the business end of the booster as much to keep the raptors out of the hands of foreign competitors as for their own post-mortem investigation?

[@tomsheridan989]

Special!

[@Mitsuolevel]

Oh god now someone is going to make a stl of OLM 2 and im going to have to print it

[@jblob5764]

Has a time window for launch been released? I am crossing my fingers that I won't be at work yet 🤞🤞

[@bryanillenberg]

7:00 AM CDT

[@jblob5764]

@@bryanillenberg NICE! That's only 5am my time I'll have plenty of time 🚀

[@bryanillenberg]

@@jblob5764 Thats rough. Launch is 8:00 AM for me.

[@equation1321]

Imagine the hurricane headed for boca chica

[@SeanChYT]

Pumped!

[@minibeefcake]

So far we’ve only seen pez dispenser for starship. Has SpaceX say or show how they plan to do cargo door for regular satellites ?

[@Tesserae]

How is the main stage secured to the booster? Explosive bolts? I realized I have no idea even how Apollo did it?

[@matthiasgrunwald895]

Launch on sunday?

[@EMichaelBall]

Unlikely - let alone the regulatory process, SpaceX needs to prepare the rocket, including FTS charging, and perhaps a wet dress rehearsal.

[@paulhathaway6292]

Love your channel but some of these closeup shots of parts are being scrutinized by our near peer adversaries. Please use a wee more discretion.

[@Bluth53]

Dolphinwatch :D

[@jordanhenshaw]

Have we seen FTS yet?

[@EMichaelBall]

No

[@123cind]

Did I like it, "Yep"!

[@boballen9095]

Spray on the lens in the "Ship 30 Press Plate Removed" segment??

[@johnhjic2]

Hello, Great video

[@davidmasefield6520]

12.50 'wt up is going on' lol

[@JohanMsWorld]

SoaceX to FAA: Na, thats not us flying. Its UFO. Nothing to see here.

[@13bigerdave]

those pancake parts kinda look like water plates like they did on tower #1 water deluge plates with all the holes

[@supersonictsunami8768]

Stop the comments. Leave the recaps to jack and that beautifully handsome brit!

[@tomsheridan989]

I think people who think ambient audio is better are smoking better weed than me.

[@patgalloway2228]

Morning das 😊

[@zarl5238]

Question-with all the prep for catching the booster-what about the Starship itself. I mean will it be discarded into the ocean or are they going to catch it after a few catches of the booster to see if the catch goes according to plan??

[@astrogeo1]

Seems like they will try and retrieve it off the coast of northwest Australia..

[@allanrose3661]

So how long does it take for the FAA to pull their thumb out of their ass? LOL

[@MrVorticose]

Must have been a slow day, half of the video was dolphins and close ups of the same steel plates welded together lol

[@FerociousPancake888]

Did somebody say pancake?

[@mikerat88]

Did dpoddolphin edit that dolphin segment??

[@derpett9999]

Does anyone know how the chopsticks system works? That is a lot of weight to quickly move and lower. If anyone has any resources to look at, that would also be super cool!

[@FkfjLocita]

Cool

[@Bluth53]

DnB FTW!

[@joelatimer3078]

Boca Chica Air Force! 😂😂😂

[@laurarexroad4521]

YEET

[@techiheed1845]

14.25? More engines ;-)

[@revy1063]

Narration is perfect! without it sucks xD

[@lcstarchaser]

Look at that big beautiful bastard ready to launch!

[@stevenlewis7669]

No drill holes for deluge in the plate

[@nelsonlanglois9104]

Try L👀king through a Periscope on a Submarine and seeing 🐬 Dolphins... Way Cool...

[@rickrasmussen5637]

Is Hurricane Milton going to affect Boca Chica?

[@EMichaelBall]

No. KSC is a different story. Hopefully they can get Europa Clipper off in the planetary window.

[@pksmadusanka4804]

Can I know about launch date

[@gfopt]

Can Alejandro make a third audio channel in Español?

[@DarenLee]

Pls don’t show too much dolphins and turtle giving wildlife authorities ideas for more regulations 🙈🤣
