[@MrKellymcilrath]

Thank you NSF for another great SpaceX Boca Chica Update!!!

[@Lexington-Concord1775]

Beautiful shots of the field around the launch site, happy that Space X is demolishing the tanks farm !

[@xxredshiftxx]

Man , watching almost n real time heavy duty groundbreaking engineering in Rocket and Space Science is truly satisfying.Thank you .

[@MalcolmCrabbe]

The more you look at the tower with its chopstick arms de-stacking SN29, the more it resembles something out of Thunderbirds...

[@cjlamber]

It just needs the Thunderbirds theme and the "Hood" posing as a technician.

[@MrKellymcilrath]

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

So pumped for IFT 4 in june 1st!

[@hughshikarii]

Is June 1st being targeted

[@thomashayden804]

​@@hughshikarii Seems like it. They have closures at the right times marked "flight closures" scheduled for June 1st so they're at least trying for it. We'll see if they hit it or not though!

[@JimMZed]

Thank you for continuing to provide such excellent update videos. But, PLEASE change the orange border for the thumbnails for these videos to some color that has less red in it. On some screens it is very difficult to distinguish between the orange border and the red KZbin history bar.

[@mattfgln]

Jesus Christ. What a first world problem. Orange bar may be confused with the red bar of youtube. Are you serious man ?

[@Mr_Battlefield]

​@@mattfgln They have a valid point. You don't have to use Jesus Christ in the wrong context either. He deserves more respect. You don't always have to disagree with everyone that doesn't fit your point of view.

[@mattfgln]

@@Mr_Battlefield I can use it and I do it. It’s called freedom of speech. You got offended by that? Your problem.

It would be fun to do a decal or stencil or vector fie of Starship for cornhole boards.

Gse ground zero, version 0.1 working great😂😂 nice can’t wait

[@alanwanchorlytellc194]

Are those parts for Frankencrane II?

[@sgreen9056]

Even though it’s not finished and basically a prototype, isn’t boca chica launch complex the most impressive and next level compared to anything else in the world at this point? Crazy

[@Huntervr894]

The flight 4th is on June 6th

[@paullangford8179]

According to who?

[@Captain_Jebediah]

@@paullangford8179I looked it up and saw it as June 1st as well, although of course it all depends on regulatory approval

[@BCR81]

@@paullangford8179a closure scheduled for flight

[@thomashayden804]

​@@paullangford8179SpaceX has flight closures scheduled for then so they're certainly targeting June 1st, but we'll have to see if they can hit it!

[@Huntervr894]

They canceled the launch from June 1st so there going to be launching on June 6th

[@Cruiser_Adriatique]

👍👍👍

[@gordonstewart5774]

Thunderbirds!

[@dougaldouglas8842]

Not that long ago that man had barely taken flight, and now this, beyond anything that the Apollo programme had

[@simoneyoga7743]

1.6.24 ❤❤❤

[@robert-brydson-1]

so if they are going to attempt a practice a booster catch but in the ocean, then they must have an exact spot to aim for ( as they would have in a real catch ) and could therefore have cameras waiting ?

[@undertow2142]

MERCH IDEA: SpaceX trading cards?

[@Dallemations]

Well I do hope the launch is soon. Maybe early-middle of june?

[@parislikesliners]

June 1st per flight closures, backup windows for June 2nd/3rd.

[@owensparks5013]

SPMTF Stick a raptor on the tanks, and they can hop to the next desired configuration or scrap themselves...

[@vimlajoshi3094]

From India

[@recoilrob324]

It's just AMAZING how much work is accomplished at Starbase every week! Compared to ULA and Blue Origin is no comparison....SpaceX ROCKS!!!

[@-TheMaskedMan-]

So when is the launch?

[@TheMoonwatchers]

Lol can't wait for Flight 4 because a lot of that perlite is all over the place but not for long ...

[@lucababnik141]

No timelapse?

[@libardomiguelcortesforero3465]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AhmedAli-kr9bc]

Imagine its 4th flight 😁

[@samos_sainz]

6:32 What are all those pictures about the landfield... Are those the marshes at low tide, that have been fill with earthmovers? Boca Chica has a so cool low tide/hight tide marshes landscape... It would be sad if they drain and flatten the whole bay. 😢

[@zanelittlegray]

Yes, white liberals have been saying what a shame it is to drain a small part of a marsh for Man's interplanetary evolution, when it can be enjoyed as a marsh by unemployed Mexican-Americans. How DARE Musk elevate & heal one of America's last remaining geographical "pockets of poverty" which is the lower Rio Grande Valley! 😈

[@Targus28]

Wen flight?

[@gordonstewart5774]

How can they work INSIDE of a tank during full-stack? Doesn't structural integrity require pressurization?

[@thomashayden804]

Not anymore it seems. Older boosters did but we haven't seen it in a while

[@craiggbrown]

Do they use liquid nitrogen in the WDR or LOX and CH4

[@owensparks5013]

The real propellants, hence the local evacuation.

[@januaryman3004]

tower section roll, is this a new type of sushi?

[@rbnf1]

Go

[@Pintuuuxo]

Tooooooooooo slooooooooooooooow !!! If Jack worked at Starbase things would go much faster (you just have to see how many words Jack can say per minute).😄

[@cipedead0777]

When do you think? I think 06/06/2024

[@atemoc]

So it seems the early July timeframe I keep giving since months ago was correct. I remember until recently some telling me that I was pessimistic or a hater (the latter making no sense), but I, like many true tank watchers among this comment section, simply deduced this timeframe from what we could see at Starbase and behind the scenes. Excited about a potential launch in the weeks to come. Let's hope for better weather.

[@andrewfayi9448]

When launch!????

[@ninjasfs2849]

Tenative date is June 1st.

[@AlainMulder]

Wen hop

[@billycharlson]

Wouldya look at dat, just look at it!

[@MegaRomull]

Why are they destroying the vertical tank farm?

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

They have been replaced by the horizontal tank farm. Plus they were vulnerable to damage from the starship launches.

[@NOM-X]

You can see the pile driver doing its busies @9:40, I think?

[@vaneng5082]

Ok

[@paulmoffat9306]

At the rate they are going, all the GSE tanks should be removed well before IFT-4.

[@bobbreit5244]

Always good to see our friendly neighborhood white vent hoses survive another day.

[@officialwildcardadventures]

@NASASpaceflight will SpaceX send some "sacrificial" Starships to Mars with the sole purpose of delivering propellant and staging in order to build an OLM on Mars, and then build a propellant storage base as a Phase 1 plan for Occupying Mars?

[@Lu.capuchino]

only 5 real comments lol, KZbin bots getting outta hand

Ift3 was 2months ago! This is taking far too long.

[@Ingo3112]

wtf are you talking ? Its 2 months ago

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

ITF-2 to ITF-3 was almost four months so if they launch in the next couple weeks it would be less than 3 months since the last launch. That's an improvement of a month!!

[@notarealperson9709]

does anyone ACTUALLY believe this will land on the moon with astronauts in the next decade?

[@zander_the_space_nerd]

Yes

[@bryanillenberg]

100% yes. I'm calling it now: The long pole for the moon landing will be SLS/Orion.

[@mabettaja]

This, not next 😊

[@motokid6008]

Define "this". A variant of this will land on the moon within a decade, yes.

[@JULIANAHASSANI]

[@VloggRJ]

Early?

[@samos_sainz]

What's happening in Boca Chica it's so cool that I'm tempted to cross the Atlantic and spawn there, just to show my curriculum and ask if I can be part of it. 🦾🥰
