Awesome Drive-By !! Only wish I could do it someday ! Great footage NSF, and let's go Flight 13 !!
@
Thanks for the drive by of Star Base
@
Super cool drive past. I love the first person view seeing things as they are live so to speak. Regular weekly passenger seat videos would be an excellent addition to the channel.
@
Love the drive by gives you a good perspective of the area, thanks folks.
@
Thanks for dive by. Fascinating. Gives scale to the site.
@
Enjoyed the drive by footage! Helps give perspective and see things we don’t normally see. Would welcome more of that for sure! Thanks!
@
Love, love love the drive by - would love to see more of that, as it makes me feel like I'm actually there at Starbase. Very cool, even if I do usually come for the great commentary. 😁 Nice job, gang!

It is amazing how close the public can get to all of this
@
Drive-by of the whole property was very cool. I also liked the second line of detail under the banner titles. The whole video felt less random than usual, while the freeform spontaneous commentary preserved that essential personal flavor I love. Nicely done, all.
@
That was really good Das.
@
Thanks for that, your video really shows how vast the launch complex is.
@
I was down there. it's so awesome to get up close. The beach is also beautiful.
@
Loved several things about this video. Loved the brief highlight tease at the beginning of episode and loved the drive by segment filming StarBase during video moving practice.
@
Thanks for the ride through Starbase! It's a great way to have a good perspective on where all things are located, for those of us that have never been there!

I liked the drivethru...driveby? uhm whatever you wanna call it lol. Was honestly a nice experience to watch it like that. So kudos to the peeps involved. Was however worried there wouldn't be any venting in this video. But thankfully B21 satisfied our venting needs 😀 I'm calling it now, B21 will be a special booster - one way or another.

I love the Groundhog Day reference!
@
Drive by is awesome. keep doing this!
@
Das! I LOVE these stream of consciousness narrated videos! I want more of them!

This one in particular reminds me of every time I visit Starbase and just driving around. So cool!
@
I like the new drive bys, nice change of pace for the videos.
@
Love the drive by. For those of us who cannot visit, this is the closest thing. I wish the NSF team could do one of these every other week. I would watch a long form drive by. Terrific work, as always.

Man, the "Flight 13" loop is getting real. I’m just hoping these engine swaps actually stick this time so we can finally get off the pad. NASASpaceflight always gets the best views, but my nerves can't take another T-0 abort!

That persistence is exactly why they pull it off, June. I have a feeling this lift-off is going to be the smooth one we've been waiting for.

Good morning, everyone. There is something so hopeful about seeing those engine swaps happen behind the scenes—the quiet persistence before the big moment. I'm settling in with my tea and watching closely. Do you think we'll see a smooth lift-off this Thursday?
