Items moving along Highway 4 look big. Then they arrive at the launch site and suddenly look tiny. It's all relative! It took my breath away seeing the size of the launch tower when I visited from 🇬🇧 last year about a month after IFT-1.

Great Show - Thanks

I love your video! No "fluff" - you tell us what happened and that's it. Thank You!

Great channel. I'm not sure why though you guys have to insist on the click bait headlines. Launch Tower rises? Not quite.

Amazing

Wow.

the rise of the 2 towers'........ lord of ring nerds will understand its been fore told

Good video

By FAR the best weekly summary...Thanks so much!

Mystery Object, maybe a Ship QD Hood?

Wonderful ti hear/listen to this, no big elaboration or BS, just facts, so very refreshing !!!! Keep it up, well done !!

I love the launches and flight test videos but the impressive construction of new infrastructure is the unsung hero of SpaceX that LabPadre covers so well. These are great behind-the-scenes views of SpaceX development that will be valuable to future aerospace historians.

Still no word on why spacex had to abort the falcon 9 launch ?

Do we think this looks like it helps to cool the environment or heat the environment? I heard something about caring about our Earth and global temperatures.

Thanks for another great SpaceX Weekly Update Lab Padre. Also thank you and all your staff for all the hard work you all do to make this happen every week! You allways seam to catch something the others don't, thank you again!

Side topic: I’ve been wondering from the start why the shorter chopsticks for tower 2? Is it possible they will use tower 2 as a primary launching tower and tower 1 as the primary launching & catching? I’m not saying tower 2 has too short of arms to catch, but they might be?.?. It seems they will need as much length as possible to catch a booster or ship.?.? Any thoughts out there to my input? Or has someone already learned why they designed the shorter chopsticks?

No word salad here trying to sell rehashed SpaceX news. Always informative, always setting the bar for other channels covering Boca Chica. Thanks to Mr. Padre and Crew for their diligence ! 😊

Space x should just paint there boosters black….

I'll be a liiiiitle disappointed if the new OLM looks exactly the same as the old one

Space X , terms of employment, when working, Run, don't walk.

Great update. Thank you

What took spaceX to get thing done in a few months. Nasa took 10 years lol

Best review... No soggy under-crust, like some of the other websites have...

Must be a civil engineer's dream working there, they get stuff built so quickly

Launch base will be cool to see if it was redesigned

SpaceX shows Hollywood how the fabrication of a next gen spaceship would look like, in case of an emergency asteroid deflector mission (or something like that).

Instead of catching the Starship and Booster in the chopsticks, there is a better idea… Dig a large, deep hole… Construct a huge, elastic net… Place the net securely over the hole… Pull one side of the net back… Throw Biden and all the rest of the democraps into the hole… Piss into the hole… Fill the hole back up with dirt…. Store the elastic net for future use… Use the original tower and chopsticks as originally designed. Have a great day…

What I love about SpaceX is that they waste zero time getting things done...They formulate an idea, and put it into practice...no bureaucracy and endless meetings. Its mainly why they've been able to advance the technology as much and as quickly as they have. NASA would still be having 10 meetings a day about various aspects of the new launch tower, and then putting forth proposals for bidding, waiting for bids, picking a winner, holding a press conference to announce the winning bidder, then more meetings with the contractor to put forth more ideas and changes to the design, and it would be 2040 before the first piling was driven into the ground...

Precise and concise! Thanks, LabPadre!

Thank you so much for the great vid

The mystery item is a personal toilet for Elon.

great recap! especially the cc8800 and towerparts

I would be willing to bet that the next tower is almost exclusively used as a catch tower for the near to mid term.

Thanks LabPadre team. I look forward to your videos every week!

Another brilliant update . Lots of negative shite on KZfaq from others . So only Lab for me . Keep up the good work and many thanks for all you do .

New (old) Missile Command game for workers taking breaks.

Seems like the new crane needs more parts than the actual launch tower !😂

Alot are asking is it to early to catch a booster ? And risk damaging the tower or is it booster suicide if there was an anomaly like elon stated !

Good job, no bull just very factual. Great channel.

I much prefer Louis's style and accent to any of the others even after seven years of watching his channels. He sticks to the facts with no added fluff or self aggrandisement like the other channels.

Your one weekly episode is enough to get so much about starbase .

Thanks Lab!

Patio umbrella on the lift . Brilliant . Why wait for design , fabrication , dellivery.

Keep thrusting, balls to the wall, ask the correct questions..!

thanks for the great update

It's going to be quite the sight when the 8800 is fully assembled.

(Whew!) Just when you thought that SpaceX could speed up any faster...😲

The trucks hauling detention water show the lawsuit against SpaceX for water pollution to be without merit.

Although the content is good, I think you are missing out by the monotonous reading style. If you could take inspiration from NSF and WAI and hire a narrator, you would gain more viewers.

Bonjour de France 👍😉
