This channel is from San Marcos,Texas. I am a gearhead and adventurer. My videos range from travel experiences to Hot rod how to's. My latest series is The SpaceX Starship 24 heat tile search adventure. Watch it and '"What's happening at Parkerville Today and see what I am creating right now.

Hi Ron, Jorn from Ebay here. Do you have a shop or do you sell pieces directly?
You can email me at Ronspacex@gmail. Com
Should this not worry spacex with heat tiles just falling off, I am an engineer and am sure they can come up with a better solution the problem is not hard..the forces are known and duration.
The guy who took that off the fence, was coming back for it at the end of the day. He wanted it for his garage...
Sorry have him contact me and he can have it back.
Ron, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you in my business, Copr Bar Swansea Wales. Hopefully I can catch you stateside when I’m out there visiting my daughter and if you need any help with your Son’s potential move to Swansea just let us know! Have subscribed and will watch your work. Cheers mate.
Thanks, my pleasure to meet you and see your awesome place. I have a new main hang in Swansea. I have been enjoying your books. We will have a lot to talk about when we meet again. Swansea is a very special place. I am at Starbase now getting ready for the launch of Starship 29. It should launch between 1 and one 2 pm your time. It can be sent live at SpaceX on X or the Everyday astronaut,WAI , or NSF on KZread.
The launch is tomorrow June 6 th. D Day and my birthday!
Likely from one of the suborbital vehicles, based on where you found it. This is a bracket that goes underneath the slosh baffles within the Starship's tanks
It is from a suborbital Starship but no way to know which one.
Are u crazy !
He came out of nowhere. He must have been trying to make a u turn.
That’s a piece of SN9. Saw a few pieces just like that the morning they let us down to the launch pad after it exploded. There were parts eeeevvvverryyywhere that day haha, so you likely will find more! Good luck!
It could be any suborbital that exploded. Each starship has dozens of these baffle brackets.
I think the bend is intentional! It's probably designed by generative design, and made using a metal 3d printer!
I The bend is not intentional. I have 8 more. They are stainless plate cut with a water jet.
@@ronhardrock468 ahh okay my bad, just speculating here. Probably way cheaper that way!
Where did that guy think he was going? He’s lucky to be alive.
Nice work! Love watching your KZreads!
Thanks, it’s been so much fun.
Excellent Video! Thanks.
It seems unfair. There should be a law that says it became public property when SpaceX stopped looking for it. It was found on a public beach.

Did Elon or SpaceX get back to you? You should at least get compensation for cleaning up their rubbish!!! That sucks that it got confiscated! >:(
Have u found any pieces of the booster or the starship other than heat tiles?
I found 6 COPV tanks from Starship 24 and lots of pieces of the suborbital Starships.
has SpaceX contacted you to get any samples back for analysis? I feel like those would be useful to study in a lab to note how they ended up
I sent SpaceX a photo of the first one I found . They were not interested .
Bro's gonna build his own starship fleet
Saw you on Marcus House channel. Keep up the good work. Very cool!
When did you start looking for pieces? I started hiking the dunes around the launch site on January 9, 2021, exactly 30 days after SN 8
I started after SN 9. What did you find?
@@ronhardrock468 I could use a full heat tile to add to my collection!
@@ronhardrock468 about 10 pieces of SN 8
Nice!
Do you sell these?
Yes, Yoy can email me at [email protected]
your sn10 guy from australia here, dont think I knew you had a youtube till marcus house mentioned it, hope your doing well
For the standard hex heat tile that you show in the upper left corner of the table, how much does it weigh? You've got the perfect sample.
I will weigh it and reply later .
It weighs 390 grams
@@ronhardrock468 Great! Thanks
Great show-and-tell! Thanks for the explanations and background.
same here I would love a chance at least to bid on it on EBay, but couldn't find any that wasn't just random people claiming they was heat tiles
I have some on EBay, my seller name is Ronhardrock from San Marcos Texas and you can email me at [email protected]
@ronhardrock468 couldn't find you on Ebay... so sent you a email with the same subject heading 😅😁
I have not received it yet
Hello! Do you still have some to sell? I would love to have one 😍
Yes on EBay under Ronhardrock and you can email me at [email protected]
This is sweet. I’m amazed there’s not more people watching.
In 50 years that thing is worth a 100k atleast
Outstanding!
That is nice!
Super nice find in a beautiful place!
Did SpaceX get their meth back?
Met Ron at Starbase today. Very nice guy and plenty of heat tiles you can acquire.
Funny how they want the tank back when it's on land but they wouldn't go fish it out the water so it's not polluting the ocean
Are you sure that this is from S25 and not S24? Because S25 exploded more than 8 minutes into the flight so it was quite far away. But if it really is from S25 than the sad thing is, that it fell off so early and so close to the shore.
At least they let him keep the nuclear bomb.
wont do that again i guess EH
its funny because he has on a space x hat
I think you handled this situation really well. It can’t have been easy considering there was a camera pointing at you and they took your stuff. I hope Elon is enjoying your COPV.
Where are you living? KZread blocked this in the US .I took the other 5 COPV's back to SpaceX and they paid me for them. I would still like a thank you from Elon.Thanks for watching.
@@ronhardrock468I’m in the UK.
I wonder how long it’ll take the tiles from IFT-3 to wash up on Madagascar and La Reunion islands. It could be very similar to MH370 debris in it’s path and timescale.
According to chicken little, the sky must be falling.
Cool! Perfectly situated 👌
What a cool adventure. Hunting the Caribbean for starship parts. Keep posting, we’ll keep watching.
It's so awesome seeing how many of these you've have found🎉
Perfeito para coleção 🇧🇷
Are there some defects that cause it to keep falling out ?
Send me a link to your school
So awesome! I would love to join you in your hunt for these wonderful bits of rocketry/SpaceX history. I can't wait to share this find with my students and hopefully someday a tile as well.
Are these bad boys going on eBay when you return from your travels?
At some point
