The Super Heavy Test Tank was removed from its test stand today for rollback to the Production Site. Meanwhile, Booster 3 was moved within the High Bay and the next Launch Tower section is prepared for stacking. Video & Photos from Tyler (@TylerG1998).

    @NASASpaceflightمنذ 3 سنوات SpaceX has dropped the SN/BN naming convention. The vehicles are now referred to as Booster # for Super Heavy boosters and Ship # for Starships. id="hidden2" class="buttons"> />Time Stamps!

    @Kneichionمنذ 3 سنوات Would love to see a Documenty one day about Massive Logistics. The Engineering and planning, Manufacture.
    We are so lucky to have an update every id="hidden3" class="buttons"> day. It's exciting to see the progress. Looking forward to the Launch table being lifted into place.

    @Earlofmar1منذ 3 سنوات this might be the only documented progress we ever get, but I would love to have the insiders take on all of this. As an ex-construction manager I know id="hidden4" class="buttons"> the difficulties involved when working on multiple fronts, procurement, lead times, etc, but this takes things to a whole new level. Congratulations to those involved. ....وسعت 11

    @j.davidbogue3961منذ 3 سنوات I’ve been following this channel for a very long time…when the site itself was so very crude, as were the emerging structures. Were you to make an hour long daily visual summary, exactly as you format them now, I would watch every minute. Thank you all who make this idea work for all of us out here watching. I suspect we are a large and highly supportive crowd. ....وسعت 11

    @Lythroxمنذ 3 سنوات Suggestion for the channel. Make summery videos each month of the progress of each item in check and make new video and then have series dedicated to those pieces being created.

    @happyhome41منذ 3 سنوات Height estimation is fraught with error potential, particularly with parallax present. In other words, my eyes may be deceiving me, but it would appear id="hidden11" class="buttons"> at first blush the Liebherr crane is not tall enough to stack three more sections. How will they stack sections seven and eight ? What is truth here ? ....وسعت 2

    @danmcburney1290منذ 3 سنوات Great work as always, guys. Thanks for the daily construction updates. Point of clarification: Elon has tweeted that the formerly named BN3 is now called id="hidden13" class="buttons"> Booster 2. You've been referring to it as Booster 3 in your last couple videos. BN2 became the test tank BN2.1 so what was to be Booster 3 then became Booster 2 i.e. the 2nd booster to be fully assembled. ....وسعت 1

    @topsecret1837منذ 3 سنوات SN/BN wasn’t very helpful anyways. So for now, I’ll refer to a four digit system for version number, block number, and 00-99 for individual vehicles. So SN20–> Starship 0520, 0(Prototype)5(Mark I-III was 0, SN3-6 was 1, 8-12 was 3, 15-16 are 4, thus SN20-23 will be block 5) and 20 for serial, up to a potential number of 99.
    Starship 0520 and Booster 0103 then.
    Once production starships are produced, then we start at 100x, and onwards to 1999, hopefully with no block improvements within a hundred produced to keep this simplified.

    @bog6282منذ 3 سنوات Just read an article saying that booster 3 is a prototype and will not fly. Booster 4 is the orbital model. Is that right? New news - or just fake news? If true it puts us still months out before even thinking of flying 1

    Sorry high-bay. Now that I've been checking out the launch tower you don't seem as tall as you used to.
