Hey Starship Everyone!!!

Its time for Final Episode in the Stage Zero 2.0 Series!

To wrap up this investigation we will examine all of the issues that SpaceX encountered once they introduced Starship V3 to Its New Launch Pad. This will go significantly deeper into the things mentioned in SpaceX's Starship documentaries, along with everything they left out!

Join us for the premier at 7pm CST

@mcrs987 Wish I could say I’m surprised. You can’t put a logo on information so he’s never felt the need to site sources. And more often than not there is something in the title that seems meant to direct a middle finger to the face of the true source.

@OelliDE How can any help fill in telemetry that is not shown on screen?

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

I miss the days of being able to gather meaningful data from Starship flight telemetry. 😞

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@strafstrudel These plots show the data that is shown during the broadcast. Telemetry stops when engine diagrams appear on screen, hence the missing data

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@CommentIsOpt @C2k_IT The cool down lap assumption was just based on when a human occupant in the car would most likely remove their hands from the o-shit handles to take the picture.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

Hard to believe this is real without actually seeing it. But I imagine this is only possible by using cold gas thrusters on the straights.

TESLA ROADSTER RUNNING F1 LAP TIMES

Tesla Roadster may have been setting some lap times at COTA. That’s insanely fast. The next fastest time is 1:32.029, set by Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes W10) during the 2019 F1 qualifying.

@mnmcsofgp In F1, you get a five second penalty after 4 track limit violations,10 seconds after the 5th.

@crashrider Supply chain managers have one job lol.

In other news, after roughly two months of assembly, the 420-ton bridge crane has been jacked up to the top of the Gigabay.

It’s one of eight bridge cranes that will be installed in the structure. The two larger 420-ton cranes will transfer vehicles between transport and work stands and handle breakover for horizontal transport, while the other six will be used for stacking operations.

@crashrider 4 to 6 for each floor, multiplied by the number of cells?

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@AveryFrantzen And you would describe that nothing less than your kid flying through the air. There is no hang time limit attached to the definition.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@BluthCapital Maybe just…listen to the entire livestream?

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@QuencyGuizmo_YT @TaiigerBlue Hmmm I suppose the gains from full-throttle exits and thruster-boosted straights could offset the cornering-G deficit. But that’s pretty wild considering how the Esses make up such a massive percentage of the track length.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@TESLA_winston They know exactly where the cameras are pointed. Simple as that.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@8753cFan It’s more likely that’s structural reinforcement for the chassis to allow it to withstand the immense downforce. Interesting you skipped the more logical explanation

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@elontimes @LunarCitizens @RGVaerialphotos Between XAi, Tesla and SpaceX there are data centers in Texas, Nevada, California, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and Oregon

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@TaiigerBlue Despite having comparable downforce, I highly doubt that.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

@MatRancourt @SardinasFelix You probably haven’t been paying attention to the problems with the current generation of F1 cars. It’s been completely ruined by AI systems.

[Zack Golden @CSI_Starbase]

🤯 I’m not sure what the practical application of this is but….WOW!!!
