  • @michaelotoole1807
    seems like anyone could see that the tanks were in threat of damage.
  • @mikegardner107
    “The workers decided to cut the tanks…” No. No they didn’t. The workers decided to keep their jobs and do as they were told.
  • @audistik1199
    I still don’t understand why they put the new tanks so near where a starship could fall on them.
  • @Urlhere
    I'm not a rocket scientist or engineer but even I know you don't store fuel next to a raging inferno.
  • @thatjoeguy7348
    The first time I saw the layout of SpaceX's Launchpad I knew those tanks were too close. I still think they need to build a separate isolated landing tower versus having the OLM in danger of major damage if Starship were to crash. A crash at the OLM stops all launches irregardless of whether they planned on landing the booster, a crash at a landing tower would still give them the option of launches.
  • @defaultHandle1110
    Everyone always was a little concerned (in their gut at least), at how close all that stuff was to these test rockets!🚀 💥 and we’ve had a few starships go boom already!!
  • "So where should we build these high pressure tanks that store highly flammable fuel? Hey, how about right next to the launchpad?"
  • @MDSBock
    Thats what I said about putting this tank farm so close to his launch pad and once Elon starts catching rockets he should build just a catch tower away from all his expensive fueling equipment and tank farm.
  • @nezaujato
    Bullet tanks is also not good idea. The cold and warm cause a scratch and leak. They will return to vertical, but this time buried 78 percent underground.
  • @Eatswell
    "tank farm" "torch party" these are some of my favorite things. Whennnnn Space X..... Okay you finish the song
  • @mariano7699
    Looks like a successful in home sabotage 😮
  • @kilmarde
    Why didn't they just put a protective housing around the tanks? Like a warehouse or something with fire resistant coatings...
  • @wettale
    I feel like someone could have told them that their tanks would be in a dangerous place being next to prototype rockets
  • @fett4life250
    This is why SpaceX is not in charge of Superchargers
  • Why didn't they build a super cheap heat shield deflecting the hot air from the tanks in the first place?
  • @rifqitaqiuddin
    Who would have thonk? I know, it could be budgetary, testing, Scale creep, or just Land limitation. But its been 3 orbital launch test. Not counting many static fires. Everybody has been saying this since the begining.
  • @ed4141
    That's against Osha sitting on the second rail😅
