Unusual Starship V2 Hardware Spotted | SpaceX Boca Chica - 13-17 Aug 2024

Narration version:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Zo_4zcxvhEU

Ambient Sound version



Aug 18, 2024
The chopsticks made contact with B14.1 as part of catch testing, Raptor engines were removed from Ship 26 (but it went back to the rocket garden), heat tile work continued on Starships 30 and 31... and a new Starship V2 methane header tank design was loaded on a truck bound for McGregor. Now with limited, experimental voiceover... leave feedback in the comments below... we promise we'll read them.

Module 9, the final section for Tower 2, has arrived at the launch site ahead of stacking. Another test tank has been installed at Masseys, and preparations continue ahead of Flight 5.

More experimental commentary by Das... we read ALL the comments on the previous video and made a couple changes. Let us know if you like this better, or worse.

I expect this post to get deleted, but there appears to be no other place to post feedback about the videos. Posting replies in the videos does not let every voice have a say, it ends up being a group think and popularist opinion only.

I wanted to express my frustration with the new approach, and how it's being determined whether commentary being added is a good or bad. My personal viewpoint is that we have enough hype talking and joke making on all the other videos, it was nice to have a refuge from all the noise where we could get a summary of the progress.

If NSF is monetarising the videos, then I understand, the popularist view wins if you wish to maximise your returns. But if not, then can we please have one place where we don't need to listen to someone?

Sure, I can turn the sound off, but I enjoyed the ambiance and I miss it.

If NSF is monetarising the videos, then I understand, the popularist view wins if you wish to maximise your returns. But if not, then can we please have one place where we don't need to listen to someone?

Sure, I can turn the sound off, but I enjoyed the ambiance and I miss it.
There is an ambient sound track in the latest video. So you can unmute. ;)
