I've watched almost all of the events used in the making of this video and the insights and information provided on each stage of testing here is amazing. So much additional detail I've never even thought of asking questions about. Absolutely great video. Appreciate the level of detail and effort put into this video(documentary). 10/10
-
Seriously this is like watching the last few years of my life in a qwik review. Been following this work so close with such anticipation. This is such a great documentary
-
So much nostalgia. That was great. A great balance of humor and education.
-
What a trip down memory lane, with quite a few blanks filled in.
The B4 flaw was a lot worse than we thought back then.
Well done Jax.
Well done Zack and team CSI.
✨️❤️🙋♀️ -
I know you were hesitant to upload a video over an hour long, but I'm REALLY happy you did. Fantastic video as always! Can't wait for part 2.

YESSSS A CSI STARBASE EPISODE
Edit: Great watch, absolutely packed with information on the structural history of Starship. Great job. -
Thanks for taking the time to compile all of this history. A well produced, important and well documented summary of early Starship development. Like CSI Starbase's other productions, this is a time capsule which will be referenced for years, and if Starship succeeds, for generations of future engineers.
-
CSI Starbase killing it yet again! 🤙
-
I still get goosebumps when I see how SN15 Landed. I feel like a little kid again watching this.
-
Great episode. You mentioned the first Falcon nine made a random rotation. Elon Musk said they didn’t take into account the turbo pump exhaust which exerted some torque that stabilization gyros removed. This is rocket science.
-
It's a shame I can't watch and like this a million times, because if I could, I would.
Your work is simply amazing and astonishing. -
Zack understands that a solid stance is a prerequisite for a successful Jedi Mind Trick.
-
Wow! 4 weeks since last update had me worried! Deep dives are insanely well researched and compiled. You my friend, are a valuable resource for the die hard Starship fans like me. Keep doing what you bro!
-
5:07 WHOEVER MADE THAT IS AN ARTIST 🎨 👏 Omg it looks so good I can't wait to see this launch
-
Ready for part 2!! It's wild that I've been following Starbase since Mk. 1 in 2019.
-
I thought I had found all the good, grown-up stuff on Starship but now I have added this channel to my portfolio. Thanks a lot, it is quality material.
-
I literally just went to check your channel to see if a new video was up, thanks for the great videos Zack!
Edit: Just finished watching and wow, it's super interesting going back and looking over the structural test campaign that most glossed over. Can't imagine the amount of digging you guys had to do to figure all this out, also really highlights just how complex each vehicle is. Also the jokes do not go unappreciated lol, can't wait for part 2. -
OMG the production level of these is insane! Keep up the great work
-
I know your work takes longer to develop due to the quality, knowledge and information on SpaceX that you put in. What you do is special and I connect with your work the best. Thanks for everything that you do and share with us
-
This is probably my favourite CSI Starbase episode for far, and that’s saying a lot as the bar has been set HIGH.
