@akt3000 Visiting Starbase and seeing a launch is an amazing experience. Thanks for incorporating the public interviews and crowd shots. It’s important that we continue to show that this work is inspiring the next generation!

@ProgisFrog Alright!

Buc-ee’s partnering with SpaceX for first lunar travel center!

@Blobifie It blew the flame off of the flare!

@CSI_Starbase I just finished Episode 3 (great take on the water system evolution!). The staining from the water tank vents is a clue that the grackles are running with excess methane which will make a lot of soot/smoke. As this is run closer to stoichiometric, soot production will decrease. There may still be some tuning needed to dial in the O2/CH4 ratio.

@ProgisFrog Nice!

@otherside_X42 Can only stay in air for 7 hrs. Already been flying 5:15 hrs. Not gonna make it without a refuel to lunch??

@Alexphysics13 You mentioned an LNG pipeline this morning on NSF. I haven’t heard of LNG being transported very far via pipeline. Was thinking they’d install a typical natural gas pipeline to Starbase for purification and condensing to liquid methane on site.

Wow, the emotions of a scrub are really hard. Rocket engineers have to be amazingly resilient humans I’ve learned.

[Aaron @txagO5]

@TheRocketFuture Where are you setting up?

[Aaron @txagO5]

@AnthonyFGomez Starbase quicksand!

[Aaron @txagO5]

@StarshipGazer Glad to see you back. Thanks for what you do!

[Aaron @txagO5]

@CSI_Starbase NASA could sure use your help!

[Aaron @txagO5]

@CSI_Starbase Sounds like cryogenic fluid hammer to me. Like water hammer, but with cryo liquids.

@DJSnM @johnkrausphotos Had me questioning whether this whole moon mission really was fake! Thanks for the explanation.

[Aaron @txagO5]

@NASA @NASASpaceflight When was this taken? Since it is a fully illuminate earth, would have to be on one of the apogee passes, right?

@BadgedPatriot Here’s the solids from our 50 gal tank. I drain each year.

Elon Musk: SpaceX is building GigaBay to produce 1,000 Starships per year

At GigaBay, SpaceX is massively expanding production and integration to reach an annual output of 1,000 Starships

The structure itself is enormous, by some measures, it will be the largest building on Earth

It’s designed specifically for rapid Starship assembly at unprecedented scale

SpaceX is building two GigaBays, one in Texas and another in Florida, bringing Starship production to the Space Coast

When you see a human next to these buildings, the scale becomes obvious

It’s hard to grasp how massive they are until you do

This is industrial capacity built for one purpose: making life multi-planetary....🚀

@StarbaseSim Could it be the result of film cooling where propellant is ejected from a few tiles up front to help dissipate heat?

[Aaron @txagO5]

@r3a9an_k_ Maybe these were film cooling nozzles??
