    Such fantastic footage! One of my favorite parts was seeing the helicopter deliver the HVAC unit.
  • @Elda301
    17:42 nice spot for worker to watch the helicopter..from Highbay 🙂

    Love the image clarity in this episode guys! Such a credit to you all and the efforts to show us the progress at Starbase. Thank you
  • @evanfine9453
    That parking garage seems to be manifesting out of thin air! The speed of progress at Starbase is staggering.
  • @NOM-X
    The chopper delivery was (what we call in the Military, is a sling load. Thanks for the video. You guys rock!
  • @DebraJean196
    Great pics Sean! So jealous of you guys getting to see this stuff!!! Great jobs you have!
  • @boballen9095
    An arial photo time-series walkthrough of all the infrastructure being rearranged/moved would seem like a really helpful way to wrap people's heads around all the change that is taking place. Just a suggestion. If anyone can pull off such a "I think this is how it's going to play out" that would be you guys NASASpaceflight. Starting at 15:05 segment, coolest helicopter, and helicopter footage EVER! Well done Bocachicagal and Jack.
  • @rkr9861
    Mild panic at 15:33 when you changed the speed of the heli footage. Took a moment to realize that that's what happened, not a fight control issue.
  • @clay-tw5gc
    0:45 Give that booster a ticket for not stopping at the stop sign!
  • @jac0m1n0
