Its easy forget that whist all this construction is ongoing this is the busiest space rocket company in the world. It is truly amazing how Space X employs the right people to make this happen.

I think over 100 capture towers and more starship factories/fuel factories need to be built. Musk aims to build at least one Starship per day, but current infrastructure and manufacturing facilities are woefully inadequate.

Those ears on the piston in the hydraulic cylinders where some of the thinnest I've seen, just look at the much thicker ears in the cylinder end. I think they should be very happy this happened in such a low angle of the lift! More crack scanning feels needed!

@Vatsyayana872 ай бұрын
My understanding is those pistons are always under compression during normal times and so dont need beefy ears. Only when something goes wrong and they are put under tension do those take any force, immediately failing.

A larger factory (150-280 meters in height) needs to be built to accommodate possibly even larger starships in the future.

2:51 do the window areas of any of the bays actually get used for anything at all? Seemed like they were gonna set up offices or clubs or something but afaik it's just empty space with a nice view. Also what damaged that window, did a bird fly into it?

I'm not sure what's up there but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an event space for visitors. We sometimes see colored lights flashing up there and they have a cool view of the work going on in the bays. Definitely an impressive view for investors I'd imagine.
