By popular demand, we are releasing all of our playbacks from the Live Broadcast of Starship Test Flight 2. This video ends at the morning of launch. If you're looking for Starship Test Flight 2 in flight, check our our other videos: Here's a few: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJyG2dpxmNLWmJc.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/mmagxsOzgarNhqQ.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4WMqKmRcc3RfNY.html

The fact they went from basically no launch infrastructure and hoppy tests to a full blown rocket factory that has already supported 2 flights of the worlds largest rocket in just 4 years is insane.

For real !!! 4 yrs...lookin back at Hoppy and his lil dirt patch...to a full-blown launch and production facility....seems like a lifetime ago....but it's ONLY been 4....short....years....It is truly mind blowing!!!!

I was really hoping this would be a video all about the infrastructure rather than the rockets. There has been so many videos on the history of the rockets and this is just that again. There was no mention of the tents, midbay, star command, the main office building or how most of the houses have been bought by SpaceX for employees and most have also received full solar roofs from Tesla. So much more than this, especially at the launch pad. Again, I’m really wanting a timeline of all of this incredible infrastructure that was built over 4ish years and it definitely seemed like this video would do this, but it didn’t. Just another history of the rocket tests.

Nice overview of the history of Boca Chica and Starbase. Didn’t realize the village origin only went back to 1967. Also wondered why there were just about 30 homes built. Thanks NSF.

We want more of Ian Atkinson!!!

I had hoped this video was about the relationship between the village and the starbase, i.e. what it's like to have a rocket industry come to a small town.

Unverbelieverable. Great respect for what SpaceX has achieved in so few years.

"SPOILER ALERT" I know already what's gonna happen to Flight 2.

That was a great overview for someone like me who tried to keep track of what was happening with the rocket testing at Boca Chica but never connected the dots for the overall big picture. So thanks, NSF, for that excellent historical snapshot and keep up the good work ... it's much appreciated.

Thanks for this! I miss the vibes from the 2019-2020 era! It's fun now too but I remember checking on it each day back then because we never knew what was going to be happening.

I really hope to visit there one day. Really a magical place

My recollection was Hopper (or one of those) was built to full height, but a storm blew the top half off?

0:43 . . . Where were the other 6 potential Starship factory & launch sites ?

@michaeldeierhoi4096

6 ай бұрын

You misheard something because I heard nothing about 6 potential launch sites. It said they "considered" seven sites around the US before deciding to build at Boca Chica, Texas. You know you look at seven houses and decide on one closest to the bar so you can walk home at night!! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

NSF y'all rock! Peace

Really impressive 👏 and important, as a lot of us watching today as well as me weren't following the development of the program by that time.

I was looking forward to Boca Chica in depth, sorry but title a little misleading, this is more a Starship history

My only suggestion to help viewers would be to have dates at the bottom of the screen of each flight, but amazing video nevertheless.

Does anyone else remember the nosecone that was built along side starhopper that blew over in the wind....

Did we just go back in time?

that's a "scrapped" video? nice recap tho. appreciate the late upload. gotta say, ian got a good recording voice for this documentory style of footage. yo :)

This is more about the rockets than the building site.

SpaceX needs to build a lunar lander for Falcon Heavy, just in case the space ship is delayed for some reason.

You're kidding right? It would take longer to design and build that lander then for Space X to complete testing of starship to ready it for the Artemis 3 mission which will be late of course, but not as late as Heavy lander.

Yes, ITS was scaled down into BFR before the announcement that Boca Chica would be it's birthplace.

Over the next year the amount of building will be crazy.

I dont think must people realize is starbase was supposed to be tor falcon heavy

What are the environmental damages caused by these rocket launches and is Space X and others taking responsibility? I am sure the people of Cameron County would love to know about that as well.

I thought it was Sawyer commenting, through a voice changer. Smoothing out the high and low pitch, slowing his speech down, and deepening his voice a tad. Sawyer gets too carried away when talking about Boca and starship, he just gets too excited...lol. But yup, its a good synopsis of Boca Chica. I reckon the Texas Govt sold Musk a pup with Boca Chica and offered incentives. It is the worst possible site to carry out Rocket Launches. But he is using it as a research and Dev site, and will end up being a quite limited production site. Until the next hurricane rips the site apart and SpaceX moves to another suitable location.

The lawsuit by the The Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation claiming Boca Chica is their sacred land is laughable. They Claim to have come from Northern Mexico and were they were known as the Comecrudo. Here is what makes there claim of scared land such a joke. They say they moved into the area in the 18th century from Tamaulipas, in North East Mexico. The problem is this area in Mexico was first inhabited by the Olmec and later Chichimec and Huastec tribes. Finally the Aztec took control. The Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation is not recognized by Texas, the Bureau of Indian affairs, or any other recognized Indian nation.
