  • pretty hands-off

    Given that the single admin @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org hasn't been active in two years, yeah, I'd say that counts as "pretty hands-off". The SDF organization as a whole will probably be around for decades to come, but they don't seem to care that much about their Lemmy instance.

  • Starbase activities (2025-06-04):

    • Jun 3rd cryo delivery tally. (ViX)
    • Build site: Overnight, S37 moves from Massey's to Megabay 2, and B16 moves from Megabay 1 to the launch site. (NSF 1, NSF 2, NSF 3, LabPadre, ViX 1, ViX 2, Starship Gazer)
    • Sheet piling rig begins work on the Gigabay foundations. (ViX, Anderson)
    • Aft flap 2 of 2 is lifted towards S36 in Megabay 2. (video)
    • Box labelled SN08, presumably a Raptor 3. (Hardcore Electric)
    • Launch site: B16 is lifted onto the Pad A launch mount. (NSF 1, LabPadre, ViX, Starship Gazer 1, Starship Gazer 2, clwphoto1)
    • Pad A chopsticks rise to the launch position and the SQD arm swings in. (ViX)
    • 12-hour road closure is posted for Jun 5th or 6th from 07:00 to 19:00 for non-flight testing activities. "Should SpaceX not complete its planned space flight activities on June 5, 2025, then SpaceX may use the alternate date to complete its testing activities". I suspect "space flight activities" is a typo.
    • Other: Linde to build an air-separation plant) at 7245 Industrial Circle, Lot 6, in the 72-acre North Brownsville Industrial Park. (myrgv)
    • Ship and booster upgrades comparison infographic. (Vikranth)
  • As long as you are subscribed to the community before lemm.ee shuts down, any interactions you have with the community will be preserved on lemmy.world.

    However, any interactions you attempt to make with the community after lemm.ee shuts down will be visible only to other lemmy.world users.

  • Starbase activities (2025-06-03):

    • Booster transport stand arrives at Megabay 2. (ViX)
    • B16 prepares for rollout to the launch site, S37 prepares for rollback to the build site. (NSF 1, NSF 2, LabPadre, (ViX))
    • Massey's: B18.1 (Test Tank 17) timelapses of long-duration (27-hour!) cryo testing. (ViX 1, ViX 2, ViX 3, Anderson 1, Anderson 2)

    • Launch site: Following the move of the continuous flight auger drill, more piles drilled at Pad B. (ViX)
    • Pad A chopsticks are raised slightly to facilitate installation of cladding panels to the tower base. (ViX)
    • Other: New render from Killip of Pad B booster quick disconnect system, based on observations of B18.1 and hardware at Sanchez. (May 2nd, June 3rd)
