SpaceX Starbase 4K Launch Complex Views New Launch Tower Chopsticks, Carriage, Skates, Launch Mount

[@genemetz1945]

Wow! Excellent video. Loved all of it, especially the new chopsticks. I'm 80 this year and retired but it brought back some old memories of my being a draftsman designer of Pressure vessels, layout specialist and scaffolding draftsman, salesman, and piping draftsman and design, even worked on a computer program for Cranes setup safety.

13:20 There are 8 screws on such a shoe. Looks like they are holding the shoe together and carrying all the weight of the chopsticks and booster. There are 4 shoes so 32 of these screws are carrying everything. Impressive.

wow ........your presentation really illustrates just how much is actually going on at star-base ........we have all seen piles of work being done here..... but the first panoramic view of all the crews working along with all the equipment is impressive to say the least...

Great close-up of the carriage truck. I always wanted to see how that works. It has roller bearings and roller guides, like those used in amusement park coasters.

[@WildBillHabiki]

wow really appreciate the close up views!

[@illwind56]

Tremendous shot of that skate, ST207.

[@CATDRL2]

Thank you for the ten-year anniversary video snippet at the beginning. Your dedication to bringing this video to us is greatly appreciated and beautifully captures an adventure that is nothing short of historic. Keep up the excellent work.

Stunning views and details, thanks, Gazer. Sometimes I would like to see the bigger picture for context, like a short zoom out and zoom in again.

I interest best starbase for technical machines and tower with chopsticks… WOW ! Awesome. 🤯😍🤩🚀

[@bcrisp56]

Gazer, thanks for the close ups! Especially the linear bearings and the chop sticks seem! Stay warm!

Skate or die! Great skate pics mate

[@DesignedbyWill2084]

Awesome close ups! Finally really see how these things work.

[@co5mic501]

Information Overload! nice close up on the skates.... Cheers!

[@rayleeson6135]

Good footage but can we have a small window of overview to give context of where these closeup’s fit in?…….ahh just seeing the zoom out portion 👍

I'm sure you're aware, but I've seen your pictures and vids showing up on SpaceX FrontPage on FB and KZbin. They are crediting you, but have never provided a link to you that I've seen. Just in case they're stealing from you, I'm always looking at your work directly. Keep up the great work man!

[@StarshipGazer]

SpaceX FrontPage has permission. All good there, but thank you for looking out. :)

[@gianniqccanada6545]

wow thanks :)

in case nobody is aware there is a high chance that the first Ship catch will be performed on Tower B given that site is only in construction phase and if something goes wrong, hardly anything is damaged Also, the fake catch pin on S33 were a new design ONLY compatible with the Tower B chopsticks. They would not be able to catch the Ship with Tower A if they use that design Risking a Ship catch over the only currently operational Starship launch site would be absolutely stupid IF the booster isn't moved quickly enough - assuming the catch will happen after 1 or 2 orbits of Earth. The Ship would damage more infrastructure than the Booster given its flying in from behind the tower not from the coast The construction timeline for Pad B is very different from Pad A. SpaceX appears to be in a rush to install the Chopsticks. I wonder why.......

Skates are already in place hanging on the tower rails.
