1
And it's time for another Starbase summary here folks.
2
Dude a couple different things this time.
3
We've got some work happening over at pad two.
4
Things rolling back and forth as parts come over there for pad one.
5
We're gonna show you some Raptors rolling around McGregor.
6
Remember Starbase does not exist in a vacuum.
7
D-d-d-ch.
8
And we're gonna have a S-26 Ghost coming back from the grave.
9
That's S-43.1 headed out to Massey's for some testing.
10
But it's Starbase summary.
11
Let's jump right in over at Orbital Pad 2.
12
Got a fantastic shot from Caesar here.
13
Got that nice blue in the background.
14
But here we're looking at Pad 2, and we've got these burn plates.
15
I was going to make a joke about them being holy.
16
I don't think that it would land.
17
Wow, there's another joke you could do there.
18
Hey, let's just move right along.
19
Good grief.
20
It's basically...
21
Sorry.
22
It's too early in the video for this.
23
Basically, some additional shielding placing that they're adding in over there at Pad 2.
24
Some nighttime shots there.
25
Is that a Cybertruck with something in the back of it?
26
No way.
27
That's probably the most rare thing you actually see in one of these videos, is a Cybertruck that's carrying something in the bed.
28
Uh, got some detailed shots underneath here.
29
Trying to see exactly, eh, just a little elevator action.
30
Looks like we've got some ambiance, we're not pointing out any specific exact things, like, oh, this lift ran over this way and did this one thing.
31
It doesn't always work out that way.
32
Sometimes it's just sort of checking in with what's going on, especially the last couple days.
33
It really does feel like, if you're watching Starbase Live, there's a little bit of a post-flight lull.
34
We know that they're getting ships' boosters ready for that next flight that's coming up.
35
But in terms of work around the pad, it doesn't seem like they're trying to make any huge drastic changes, reinventing the wheel, any big disassembly, right?
36
Like they may be polishing some things or replacing some light bulbs, but they're not uninstalling the engine from anything that would cause a huge delay.
37
They don't want the pads here to be the long pull
38
if they can get those ships and boosters ready for the next flight.
39
here we've got a little wow that
40
that blinking is on the tower behind it
41
but it's just lined up exactly right where it's just sort
42
of flash banging you right in the middle of the screen
43
so there's a little bit of work over on the are they pipe raceways i think i've talked about
44
that before i call it a pipe rack
45
but it's like an installed i feel like pipe rack is
46
a pipe that's not installed yet right it holds pipe
47
that could be installed or used uh but anyways raceway is It's more for electric cables and server rooms, that sort of...
48
I don't know, hey, maybe that's what they're supposed to be called.
49
But anyways, there we have a little bit of groundwork.
50
Remember, we put these together a little bit more cohesively these days.
51
We're not just pure chronology.
52
We're looking at work that's happening on the pads here through a couple different days.
53
Then we're going to go check in with McGregor.
54
We're going to go check out S26.
55
Well, it's not S26.
56
It's 43.1.
57
Whatever. But CH4.
58
I like it.
59
CH4 offloads in all other traffic.
60
Nice.
61
Every time I see a little sign, it usually grabs my attention.
62
I don't know if that's a human thing, but there can be a lot of stuff happening if there's a little sign.
63
Sometimes it's like, oh, what's that sign say?
64
So here is a flame diverter support beam ostensibly heading for pad one.
65
Remember, they've been putting those parts together.
66
They're not building it all from raw components over at Pad 1.
67
We've seen them sort of, let's call it a sub-assembly, assembling sub-components or parts, partial parts,
68
that they then transport over and put together, either in the yard over at Sanchez or other places.
69
We see them come in from out of town.
70
It's not necessarily all just raw steel beams being put together over at Pad 1.
71
But the work at pad one continues.
72
You can see that big support gantry structure there that will form the basis of that Tyrell Corporation slant that you see.
73
Up at the top of tower one, we still have our weather station up at the top.
74
But you can also see a little bit of a safety sort of scaffolding.
75
It's almost like a drop deck.
76
There you go, that's a great shot actually.
77
That makes it easier and safer to work on those undersides there.
78
It's not a permanent structure.
79
It's just a temporary structure that they can use to more easily gain access, because you ain't going to be in a lift all the way up there on the top of the tower.
80
Here we've got that 11,000 raising up, and if I'm not mistaken,
81
that's a new configuration, so getting ready to do some different work than it normally does.
82
It's lunchtime for the wildlife here.
83
One of these days in my copious free time, I'm gonna I'm gonna get a wildlife person on here to talk about what we see all right
84
So let's run over to Central Texas like I said Starbase Not everything for the Starship program happens at Starbase
85
In fact quite critically a lot happens over at McGregor in here.
86
You can actually see uninstalled our Vax
87
Going around we saw our back 181 you can see gosh
88
a different angle scroll back a little bit You can see the 181
89
Central there you can see the one eight and the last numbers of one But they rolled it out, and in just a couple of hours they rolled it back again.
90
Now, that doesn't really mean anything.
91
Two hours isn't particularly enough to do a test.
92
Maybe they rolled it over, they found something different, they wanted to bring it back, maybe the stand just wasn't ready.
93
It doesn't mean that there's any doom or gloom happening.
94
There you can see it rolling back out again.
95
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
96
But you've got to make that noise.
97
We also see some of the Raptor C levels.
98
Those RVACs have the big horizontal transport thing, and there's another RVAC going.
99
The little vertical engine was a C-level.
100
There's an RVAC.
101
It's interesting that they tow them backward, and it has to have something to do with just the efficiency of putting them on or off the trailer.
102
You'd think that, like, bugs would get in there, but maybe they have a.. hopefully they have a plug or something.
103
Also, at McGregor, this is where they hotfire the Falcon 9 cores.
104
These are usually new cores that are coming into service, and here you can see this is 107.
105
That's something that you won't see a lot of the times on the launch broadcast, but here we have these great shots of the cores going by.
106
They have a stand where they static fire these.
107
They'll run up all the engines.
108
You can really tell the difference between the RP-1 powered Merlins here and then the vacuum powered?
109
No, I almost said RVAC.
110
The methane powered Raptors, the differences in the stands, the plumes look really different.
111
But I bet you we see that doing some launches.
112
In the future, it is one of the things we try to keep track of.
113
Hey, we're getting back over to Starbase.
114
There's a good fin test rig, but big thanks to the McGregor Live.
115
All those views that you saw there, we catch those live as well.
116
The team over there, Rex with the cool Raptor treks, Rhino getting a lot of those stats together for us.
117
We appreciate them.
118
Little known, all the work that goes out at McGregor, both on our side and on SpaceX's side.
119
People should know it's not all Starbase.
120
But, hey, look at this.
121
It says, nothing was visible, though we did see a plane.
122
Oh, no kidding?
123
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
124
All right.
125
Well, we did.
126
We got a lot of cameras.
127
A lot of them are dome up.
128
That's a booster cryo stand going.
129
Dome up just means that they can point above the horizon.
130
They can point at things at the sky versus on the ground.
131
And so all of our dome up assets will aim at the moon whenever there's a re-entry or something with the moon.
132
We can aim them up at the sky.
133
It doesn't mean we're necessarily going to catch anything, but why not try?
134
And I know we had a couple assets aimed north, or aimed up.
135
It's not really north, sorry.
136
I'm trying to catch that, but we didn't really catch too terribly much.
137
Here we're rolling around nose cone pieces, as it turns out.
138
There's that S43.1 nose cone.
139
Testing header tanks, catch points.
140
It's not subscale.
141
That's not the right way.
142
It's not a complete starship, but it's components of the starship being tested, right?
143
You can test how flanges, mounting points, attach points, quick disconnect plates, how a bunch of different things,
144
how tanks work, how plumbing works, how piping works.
145
And subscale is not the right term, but it's like a partial.
146
It's not a fully integrated starship.
147
Almost more of a partially integrated starship, I guess, is the way you could say it.
148
Like, where are the flaps?
149
I don't know.
150
So rolling this out to, I almost said to McGregor, wow, I'm going to have to keep this stuff straight a little bit better
151
if we start adding in some other bits of the Starship ecosystem here.
152
But rolling out at night to Massey's, at least they start with the same letter.
153
You can at least give me that.
154
But you can see some of those attachment points.
155
you know, you'll see a lot of load testing, you see flanges, you see, alright, we're going to connect some stuff here, then when we cryo-test this or whatever, we're going to push on it,
156
we're going to pull on it, we're going to do this.
157
We've seen all sorts of different weird contraptions and passageways
158
that you wouldn't normally seem to see on a ship or a booster, just so that they can put those loads in those specific parts of the vehicles to do the testing, to do the work up front,
159
because they need to understand it's great to fly them.
160
Don't get me wrong.
161
There's no truth like flight truth, right?
162
But that doesn't mean you just cut out the entire part of your program where you're simulating it, you're subscaling it, you're unit testing it, you're doing partially integrated parts,
163
testing out all the different things.
164
Just because flight data is the best data does not mean that you only get flight data.
165
And that's really honestly where Massey's comes in.
166
You see all of these tests not only proofing and qualification that sort of stuff But just testing like hey, what if we welded this this way and then it got really cold and we pushed on it, right?
167
How does that work?
168
You see the same thing out at McGregor They put those
169
engines through the paces before they ever come down to starbase and we even saw
170
Before flight 13 we saw after the the pad abort right where they fired up the engines
171
and stopped them before they let that thing go we saw engines from that end up at McGregor within days.
172
You can drive it in a day.
173
You just put the stuff on there.
174
It may take longer than that to take it off, but it's not like they have to transport this stuff halfway across the country to the test facility.
175
They can run it up to, it's near Waco, Texas, which is going to put you, what, is that seven hours north of Starbase?
176
See, I'm from Corpus, so I usually stop in Corpus, so it's like, wait, how long is the drive straight through?
177
Because I've got to stop in to Mom's house and get some carrot cake when I'm driving through.
178
Anyways, here is that test article going into the test stand test structure.
179
And again, nope, nope, okay, never mind, put it back out, it's all good.
180
Oh, okay, now we'll put it back in.
181
Somebody had to go in there and sweep it off or something.
182
You see it a lot, you see fit checks, then they make sure it's going to work the way they need, they need to readjust something.
183
When you see a little back and forth like that, it never really means that it's a big issue.
184
This is interesting, it says painted white there.
185
It looks like a really nice coat, honestly.
186
But I'm wondering if this is a new aesthetic, or is this a primer, like a base coat, something they're putting under this.
187
I guess we'll continue to see what happens with it.
188
Here's the Gigabay.
189
If you've been keeping up over on the Space Coast, that Space Coast Gigabay has almost all of those panels all the way up the top.
190
But over at Starbase, we're still sort of three, well, I'd say three levels.
191
Those aren't really levels in there, but they continue to make progress.
192
There's all those cranes in the background.
193
This is looking from the Margaritaville Hotel over there, South Padre.
194
And these are some tanks just coming in to the port.
195
But that's your view.
196
That's the Gigabay and the Megabays and the Star Factory and the Rocket Garden in the background.
197
That's the Border Patrol imaging dirigible, whatever you want to call it, in the foreground.
198
There's your two launch pads.
199
Those are some metal structures on the barge itself, metal structures from the Cape.
200
But pad 2 is on the right here.
201
Pad 1 is on the left.
202
And you're sitting over there at the Margaritaville.
203
You get one of those south-facing rooms during a launch.
204
That's literally how you watch the launch.
205
So it really is a cool thing.
206
Massive thanks to the hotel for working on us for how many years has it been?
207
We've been working with the hotel there for years.
208
But in any event, folks, that's a Starbase summary.
209
Let me know.
210
Every now and then, Starbase is a little bit slower.
211
We'll maybe toss in some McGregors.
212
Maybe I'll get you all an engine firing or something like that next time, a static firing of an engine.
213
They do those all the time over at McGregor.
214
But as always, appreciate you all hanging out, and we will see you nerds later, hopefully down in the comments.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
