This week at Starbase, Booster 13 is cryo tested, Ship 30 is brought to the launch site and we see our first glimpse of testing for a potential booster catch attempt. All this, while crews continue with the rapid pace of construction on the new office building, parking garage and Starfactory expansion. Meanwhile, over at Cape Canaveral, Falcon 9 fills in for a delayed Ariane 6 program by launching a pair of Galileo satellites, as teams stay busy with launch and recovery operations for SpaceX's Starlink program.

Thanks for watching this week's LabPadre Update!

    Thank you Lab Padre for another Great Spacex Weekly Update!!!
  • @atptourfan
    Best weekly review. So detailed with time and captions.
  • @FutureAIDev2015
    SpaceX looked at NASA and Congress and said, "Fine, I'll do it myself."
  • Thanks for consistently cleaning the rover cams and providing these information packed updates for us !
  • @ThexBorg
    The pace of construction is amazing. Thanks as always padre.
  • @atptourfan
    I also have to say I appreciate the clear, technically accurate language used to describe events in these weekly updates. I find I’m learning the proper names of equipment and construction techniques just by enjoying the video. Thank you, LAB and team!
  • @Liberty4Ever
    Another week and another couple of Falcon 9 launches as Starship development churns along and Spaceport continues to grow. This is how humanity makes it to Mars. We are living in the future and it's great. There is so much bad news everywhere else these days, but these weekly SpaceX updates never fail to make me happy and hopeful. Thank you so much, LabPadre!
  • @WG-tt6hk
    Just like SpaceX, Lab Padre is the best at what they do.
  • Great channel, no unnessary content, keep it up one off the best.
  • @goodwinhull2751
    Lab's weekly update has become my favourite. Just straight facts, no fluff. Great job!
  • @dnarnhoj
    Best weekly update on SpaceX progress you can find anywhere!
  • @guyrovella8402
    Great Update! Just one thing: When showing the tower arm movement it would be helpful to say when the video is showing x1 speed. Since almost all the other video is sped up it's hard to tell. Thanks.
