Ship 29 Tested Ahead of Starship Flight 4 | SpaceX Boca Chica
Work on the Starfactory and other new structures at the Production Site continued, Booster 4 was scrapped (finally), and was readied for a second static fire after completing one earlier in the week.

Kite Cam is a really cool touch!
It is so good to see Mary's work on the channel again lately.
I love the footage of the surroundings and sunsets, it adds environmental context.
7:10 I had to remind myself to "Breathe" watching that brought back bad memories of craning heavy items in the wind.
Looked scary
yeah, looked pretty dangerous for a moment there
that one guy got real lucky he had a helmet on
Grab it Grap it! I'm not going to grab it you grab it !
Woah! Is that normal procedure?
Wow kite cam is great. Keep it coming!
Good to see the use of other forms of lofting a camera when drones aren't allowed.
@@cricri7066 Absolutely. Though hopefully they don't start banning kites too now lol
@@_LightningRod_ There is also a pole cam, that would be even harder to ban!
@@cricri7066 yeah it would be "appolling" if they banned that too 😂
Thanks Mary, Sean, Jack and Thomas. The sky shots and moon shots were fantastic. Great work Sean!
This is incredible. Watching history being made. Watching a completely ground up view of life going solar.
Always busy, busy, busy at Starbase. More Kite Cam 3:32 please! Who was flying it? :) Thank you NASASpaceflight.
Thanks NSF team ❤
I LOVE KITE CAM!!
Always impressed by the insane amount of work that is being done there... And so fast as well. Bravo and much respect for all those workers. Well everyone at SpaceX
Kite Cam FTW!
Thanks NSF team great update.
Thanks for you content Nasaspaceflight 🔥🚀 i can wait for the starship IFT-4!🔥🔥 👍
Some really beautiful footage in that video. Wow the colors in the sky. Like a painting Fantastic job.
Kite cam is neat.
Thank you for more kite cam!!! ❤
no one should miis the "Office Building Construction" part-> 7:05
Watching Office Building Construction was more exciting than SF lol. Thanks NSF for awesome update as always.
Sean’s shot of Sun is UNBELIEVABLE!! 😍
This is a fantastic update video guys! Thanks for all the great images #TeamNSF. I loved the Kitecam shots, keep the, coming!
Love kite cam
I've missed these videos.
The description implies that B4 was scrapped and readied for a second static fire which doesn't make sense. I think it's supposed to say Ship 29 was readied for a second static fire.
Great catch up - So good to see kite photography has made a return, especially these days with drones; though it is especially useful in areas where drone flight is not permitted - I guess the trick now is to come up with some kind of stabilisation system that reacts to the movement of the kite, and keeps the camera pointed exactly where you want it.
Wow, that tiny piece of the booster dwarfs everything next to it lol. at 18:50
Beautiful sunset pics Sean!
loved the shot of the moon!
Aw cummon guys. Who gets the credit for Kite Cam piloting? Not sure when that started but today was first time I noticed it. Well done. I'm assuming a 2-string maneuverable kite. Those are fun.
Great job everyone...😎😎😎
Congrats for 1M Subscribers ❤🎉
I don't know about y'all but at the 3:38 it feels like a liminal space with the soothing sound of either drone propeller or the wind.
The algorithm is pleased with this comment.
I love Kite Cam. Great idea. How long did it take to get SpaceX approval for that.
more of that 👍
RIP Legendary booster
That’s a amazing look at the moon
Kite cam looks like CGI! :) but it's amazing!
Kite cam is sick!
MOON! MOON! MOON!
Very hood spaxe👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We need 24/7 kite cam ;)
Wow ❤️❤️❤️☀️☀️☀️👍👍👍
Nothing good comes without hard work...
12:23 a landing tank? Never heard of this component. Is it like a header tank or reserve for landing burn? Is this brand new?
Yep reserved for landing burn now I can’t tell you which booster it was first integrated on but it had to have been on b7 I think definitely b9 and b10 and all to come
0:26 Shiny shiny...Me like shiny 👹🤣
❤❤
👍
how does kite cam work? btw i love the camera
I suppose it is mounted on a kite. Likely remotely recording. A nice workaround not being able to use drones.
Is it possible that Booster aft section and header tank is for Booster 15 or B16?
Boca chica gal…here’s my request: Sunrise behind SpaceX sign☀️ Please?
Hope that the top of Booster4 is of to some place with the fins. Or it can come to my house
At 7:45 Definitely NOT OSHA Approved methods being used with those beams!😬
I can't see Booster 11 recent days.When will it roll out?
When the pad is ready for it.
Have they figured out why the last second stage kep rolling (tumbling?)? Have the figured out why the booster didn't successfully relight?
probably both are RCS issues
@@bryanillenberg The booster could have encountered wind shear too much for its RCS and grid fins to counter. But we should just wait for SpaceX to tell the FAA and us (through them).
@@knowledgeisgood9645 "The booster could have encountered wind shear too much for its RCS and grid fins to counter" I don't think that wind shear caused the landing failure, but it definitely could have contributed. "But we should just wait for SpaceX to tell the FAA and us (through them)." Where is the fun in that?
@@bryanillenberg Why does it have to be fun? 😉
RIP B4
It’s hilarious that they’re building this crazy technological rocket to bring us to deep space. And here they are assembling it in the parking lot. 😂😂😂😂
is kite cam a drone?
No, Part 101 drone restrictions do not apply to a small kite. -Das
Really bad safety practice to see them working under a suspended load in the "Office Building Construction" part. How much time are you really saving... not worth it the day a beam comes raining down killing the two guys in the work basket.
👍👍👍
You can run, by you can't glide!
NarTion would nice
Where are my grid fins? I don’t wanna be like B8 without them and be scrapped :(
I was just wondering, did it look like ship.29 was leaning when sitting on the orbital pad.Lea looked like it was leaning to me.A couple of different views.But I wonder if anybody else saw what I saw. Also I would like to know if anybody knows how to go back in the library and watch the first videos in SFDN and through that I've tried going back through the list, but it doesn't even take me back to when they were doing.The orbit sub orbital but launch attempts
did you find what you were looking for
Nope
RIP Booster 4 means Rest in Peaces
when's somebody going to invent crow cam🙃
Prepping foe another Static Fire foe today? 😂
Kite Cam?!!? Is that literally a camera strapped to a kite?
I'm retired Love your content! How to apply for a gifted membership?
What is the use of vapourizer? 13:27
They use them to heat up some of the propellant to back fill the storage tanks. A big limitation on loading speed is how fast you can repressurize the tanks (or else you create a vacuum at the top that causes issues), so if you can head up a portion of it to put back in as a gas you can load faster
👍👍👍🇮🇳
rip b4 2021-2024
It occurs to me that the Chinese will be pouring over these videos and cloning the whole site...
Elon has known that from day one. He doesn't care.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 It is obvious now that you mention it. I do love the deep dives videos.

RIP Booster 4 *Comment "F" for respects*
What the point in testing,we already know it is going to blow up,tiles fall off, starship burns up, booster explodes
Thoroughly enjoyed!
👍
