7:22 this amazing bird is used to help stop other birds nesting. A lot of airports use them.

7:30 Bird mitigation. This is common practice at functioning airports. Predators will make the local bird population avoid your construction zone and landing/launching sites. Good for the birds and good for the function of your airspace. One falcon won't put a dent in the population but it will keep them away by a zone around the space.

Birds are not a problem. These rockets don't have fans that birds can harm. As long as vents are covered birds are just fine.

@@knowledgeisgood9645 Bird mitigation is also used for keeping nesting birds off tall structures. SpaceX do have a lot of tall structures, that they probably don't want birds nests and bird droppings on.

Another great SpaceX Starbase Update, Thank you NSF. Thank you Mary, Jack, Sean, & NSF for the great videos!!!

Jack, love the Starship chase down hwy4

That is a busy place! Thanks for the video teamwork to keep us informed ❤️🚀🚀

That's the coolest stuff ever watching a massive spacecraft roll down the highway heading to work 😁

Great shot of the falcon!

Falcon doing tricks?! Never seen that before, love it!

Beautiful. Sounds like something we haven't heard before. Launch sounds next: starts at gnition and goes on and on

Must be v satisying working at Starbase with so much bldg and development taking place as well as part of the team testing/launching new rockets into Space !

I❤NSF

I hope Starhopper is going to be OK. Thanks for your work NSF.

Thanks NSF team!

Very cool update thanks NSF team and especially Mary🌻 Jack and Sean . Trained birds have been used in the past to deter other birds from area's like airports and sports stadiums. Just having them fly in the area regularly seems to work.

Cool, it's bring your Raptor to work day!

9:20 Whoo!...... whoo! whoo! lol

Starship catching. My suggestion is, would it be a good idea to pick up the starship loaded with the landing fuels lifted to the tower's maximum height? Then start the landing engines while held by the arms, then when the hover has stabilised, release the arms, hover around a little and recatch with the arms and recovery?

@spacemanmat

I thought a tethered hover would be a good idea.

Starbase looks a lot different than it did a few years ago. New Megabays, Starfactory, parking garage, new office building, and the second launch pad all being built so quickly

The rockets, namesake!

That look of total concentration in those eyes. The slightest movement on the controls, but still had time to turn on smoke.

Is the falcon for keeping the high bays clear of birds? Plastic owls probably not doing their job right.

@dphuntsman

Ай бұрын

That’s what I was thinking as well. As often as the doors are open, it’s not just the outside areas you want bird control of: you especially want to the inside of those big bays controlled.

Elon heard that the plastic owls were planning on unionizing...

Flying Falcons in an area like that helps stop birds nesting nearby, this can be a concern if they are a protected species as you then have to stop work until the chicks have fledged. Far easier to persuade them not to nest nearby in the first place as well as there being less debris / mess to clear up.

Awesome!

I think it would be great to hop a booster from the launchpad into the catching arms. If the booster can hop, not even clearing the tower, and maneuver itself to the catching arms and have the catching arms grab it and put it back on the olm I imagine that such a test would give a lot of valuable data on catching the booster. Whereas if it would go wrong there is valuable lessons to be learned there too. If they can successfully hop the booster multiple times catching it after a full flight would mostly be an exercise of avionics or balistics which is by no means easy but it would make the odds of success a whole lot better if you already knew the hover and the arms would work.

Flight 5, and I feel like I've either missed an inside joke, or been asleep for a few months.

The original "reusable" Falcon!

One the Parking Garage is finished could SpaceX is the area in front of the build site wide enough to make it another road to run the equipment along and not block the road so much ?

is there no border control on the river?

Launch date yet? I might need to call off work! 😂

Falcons are sometimes used to "shoot down" unauthorized drones. Have there been problems in that regard lately?

It seems that the launch mission in the first half of 2024 is very busy.

is the sqd retraction realtime?

Nine total sections, but 8 and 9 together are the same height as sections 1-7. So you can think of 8 and 9 as 8a and 8b which they were called at one point
