Ho, hum; another Sunday, another excellent report by LabPadre (!!)😊

Thank you Lab Padre, Great SpaceX Weekly update!!!!!

Excellent update, thank you and your team!

SpaceX & LadPadre both examples of par excellence in their respective fields.

Great one as usual! thank you for all the hard work.

These weekly updates are such a treat. Huge thanks to LabPadre. Compared to the rapid entrepreneurial development of SpaceX, other aerospace companies look like they're moving backwards. I can't wait for the fourth Starship test flight! Soon, I'll be riding my little adventure motorcycle to Boca Chica to camp on the beach and watch a Starship liftoff. It's great to live in the future.

Thanks, Lab.

Another awesome update Lab! Thank you!

Thanks LabPadre team!

Thank you for the update! I can't wait for IFT4!

I cant wait to see SpaceX try to catch a booster. Need a new launch deck just in case the catch doesn't work, and the current launch deck is destroyed!

Superb! How you did not win an award for these,I'll never understand!

Wow! One year gone by. A whole trip around the Sun. Awaiting IFT-4!

Can't wait to see how much fast the new arm actuaters go.

Always tight and concise 👍👍👍👍

thx for the update

I loved that4-way split screen. Clever editing!

Another fine Update . Thank you Lewis and the LabPadre team .. !! 🚀

Hi labpardre space thanks for the information on star base David 👌❤️🇬🇧👍🚀

Excelent. Thanks

Thanks Padre.

Thank you.

Best weekly update!

Thanks for the update Louis. I hope you and the old gang are doing well. I'm still fighting my old nemesis but I'm prevailing. Hope to reach out to you soon. Joe

Kills me every time I see Hoppy, looking at his grand children

Terrific roundup of all the base's activities. Just a whimsical thought, but would the Droneships be capable of landing the Starship's Booster as a pre cursor to being caught in the Chopsticks? Cheers and "thanks for all the fish" 🤓

Lot of stuff happening at the flame trench! Nice to see all the progress. How many more updates do we think we'll have until IFT4?

Usual outstanding job... No other site comes close, IMHO...

The largest most powerful rocket in history….. so far! 😊

420 Gone and almost forgotten

"OLIT", "OLM", "OTF"... Why? We're coming up on 3 years since the conclusion of the sub-orbital flight campaign with SN-15. It's all orbital now, and I think it's time to retire the distinction.

..... the arms are moved like that to work the air out of the fluid system...

Fight? xD It has to fight, to make the flight :P

“Port side” 🤣 I was Air Force. Have no idea what you said.

👀🚧🚀👍

When is the next Starship launch from Boca Chica?

I wonder how many state inspectors work full time at Starbase just to keep up with this level of innovation.

I don't know why we like to watch all these mundane no-need-to-know activities. It's all we could do to contain our excitement for the next test flight! 🤣

👍👍👍

Good job, no click bait just actual facts. It's just this channel, NSF and Marcus house now, lost all interest in all others.

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.

Chopsticks, blue whale at Mach 1...good luck, Elon.

when they get rocket to work 100%, you think Elon will change booster form stainless steel, to a carbon hull like falcon 9. would save a massive amount of weight. expensive yes, but if its all reuseable would pay for its self over time
