My cuzn was driving one of those tugboats!

Wow! Awesome update. Thank you!

The arm don´t stop. inertia makes it shake...

Lab's weekly update has become my favourite. Just straight facts, no fluff. Great job!

I work with the company, that t-minus 2 seconds on IFT-3 with the ignition of that booster is something I’ll never forget.

You don't really need to keep calling it 'Test Stand B' There is only one test stand. How about calling it 'The Test Stand'?

It looks like the atmosphere just under the Top Clouds was very turbulent and cause the loss of control. Need additional control unit adjust to more gyro units triggering upper jets at the fin level maybe. also we should look closer at wind currents and jet stream patterns and land avoiding this fast moving column of air

Lol at 8:46 You can hear Kates timer for Starship engine cutoff go off in the background.

What highway is this on,I want to take pic in front of this sign,going tomorrow,thanks!

5:00 --> May I propose: As it seems, "Chop-sticks" beams should be stiffer horizontally, but even now they can fix this. They can install some horizontal steel wires to external side, to stress-up these beams so not to wave horizontally at sudden stops. These wires will automatically extent or contract to follow the movement of beams and must be always in tension. The cables must be in some angle with main beams to be able to hold them. So, maybe will need also some smaller horizontal beam around the base of each main beam, going outwards.

Why show us sped up footage when talking about the chopstick speed test?

Emergency!!! THE ONLY SOTUTION! Baffles will not work to prevent the fuel slushing problem, because the tanks of the starship system are too large. That is the only reason why the starship engines have been exploding every time. The solution: The tanks of Starship and Superheavy need 2 disk valves, expanding the diameter of each tank. One of the disks, the one on top, rotates above the contiguous disk to close the overlaping holes on the surface of the disks; to reduce the Size of the tank by dividing it, before any rotation or acceleration of the rocket. This will prevent slushings and protect the plumbing, if located 10% above the bottom section of each tank. Large telescopic pistons can be attached below the bottom of disk valves to control the fuel pressure as the piston expands into the fuel tank. I have built a model that works perfectly. The second disk valve can be located 10% below the front of the tank, to also protect the front of the tanks from the slushing forces. The gridfins are too flat and too small to be effective enough and will not be able to control the booster. Why is Elon not using four pins instead of three to secure each heat shield tyle? Four anchor points provide far more stability to secure a tyle, not three. Also, each type should be constructed with the bottom half of the brick consisting of an interwoven latice of steal mixed into the silicon, to provide a foundation of strength and durability to each tyle. What is more important than securing the heat shield by providing the maximum stability and strength to each tyle? The interwoven steal mesh lattice mixed into the bottom half of the bricks, and the four anchor points would eliminate the problems of tyles falling off the ship every time there is an engine ignition event. Please get this message to Elon. Thank you. Also, Spacex needs 3 actuators to move the payload bay doors correctly, not two. They have only two now, one at each end of the payload bay. They need one at the center position. Three will guarantee that there will always be enough support to open and close the doors, even if one of the three fails. I know the spacex engineers can see these problems. It is like ignoring the elephant in the room. The solutions should be a no-brainer. Musk needs to hire people who can be trusted and who will not continue accepting bribes from Jeff Bozo to sabotage and cause unnecessary delays to the Spacex Statship program.

Thank you Lab Padre for another Great Spacex Weekly Update!!!

thanks for the catch up

Why has only one actuator on the chop sticks been replaced? Are they going to replace the other one before flight 4?

I think any Catch testing done now is for the new tower. The new tower will make the first catch attempts. Cant blow up the only launch tower. I have said this since the first of the year. We will see.

The pace of construction is amazing. Thanks as always padre.

Won’t be surprised if they trim the catching arms down, it would reduce the inertia greatly.

Nice camera work got some great shots.

This is INSANE

Another week and another couple of Falcon 9 launches as Starship development churns along and Spaceport continues to grow. This is how humanity makes it to Mars. We are living in the future and it's great. There is so much bad news everywhere else these days, but these weekly SpaceX updates never fail to make me happy and hopeful. Thank you so much, LabPadre!

Thanks!

WOW, those chopsticks are moving fast! And at that size, it almost seems impossible! But that’s SpaceX for ya. Making the impossible possible.

Usual good job...

5:53 Are the people in the excavators okay while being hit by the purging from the tower? Maybe the excavators are air-tight?

They should stick a couple Draco thrusters on the chopstick arms to cancel out the rebound

Is anyone else so sick to death of Elon Muskrat that it's starting to have a major impact on their excitement and interest in Starship development? He just poisons everything at this point.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Thanks for consistently cleaning the rover cams and providing these information packed updates for us !

Think they would want to test the catching a booster with a falcon 9 rocket

A excellent recap Of the week's events,thank you Lab and team... !!

9:51 “Media offline” message briefly flashes on-screen for a few frames.

keep it simple, maybe try a very big damper rod between the arms, a hydrawlic damper would sort out that wobble during arm move

I am a little confused about the doors going in the high bay 2. Could you show us how they work in the space and still leave the large opening for the ships

They want to get some RCS on the ends of those chopsticks so they can rocket-punch them to the catch position

Best weekly update on SpaceX progress you can find anywhere!

What if catch arm actuator breaks during landing....? No redandancy?

Hi guys, i love your content but please be careful with your video titles. You create quality content, that's what we are here for, please don't fall in the same pattern as WAI with their clickbait titles. <3

Great Update! Just one thing: When showing the tower arm movement it would be helpful to say when the video is showing x1 speed. Since almost all the other video is sped up it's hard to tell. Thanks.

Elon has shown the world how much government programs pillage from its citizens without shame.. absolutely insidious..

Wondering about landing legs for starship? How big would legs need to be to support a 50 story building? How much would those weigh?

I find it amusing that there is an audience that’s so fascinated by SpaceX that they want to be kept up-to-date on the progress of the new SpaceX parking garage.

Another great episode, many thanks

I think SpaceX need to get the Tesla suspension design engineers in, to sort out how to fully dampen the arms.

What I love most about this channel is that it was there before there was a there there. 🚀

this is another busy update as the next flight gets ready

SpaceX looked at NASA and Congress and said, "Fine, I'll do it myself."
