5:23 it looks like the tower segments are being permanently attached to those shorter stands that they were placed on at Sanchez. there are lots of good pictures on various sites that if you pay attention, you can see those little extensions being attached and painted. They are even installing a wider cross brace that’s how the towers getting taller each segment is growing by a couple feet.

Assembling prefabricated sections is definitely the way to go. Just look at how quickly ocean-going ships are made using that construction philosophy.

It shrinks when it gets cold? I can relate.

Most of us are naturally thinking up solutions to the perceived problems at Starbase, so no need to apologise. I've almost given up worrying about them, the incredible achievements thus far continue to lessen my concerns.

Great work, Ryan! Very clear and precise enunciation, with humor sprinkled in when least expected.

Thanks for the Update once again I wholeheartedly believe that the Hurricane was specifically placed by Blue Origin and ULA to attempt to demolish Starbase
