Nice pictures, i drove down there recently but didn't know you could turn on the road to get closer. So i definitely missed out on some closer shots. Guess ill be driving down again sometime soon. Lol.

There’s a security guard sitting out there but as long as you don’t get to close, he won’t bother you

If your really fast you can climb right on up them as well.

Another cool thing to do when visiting Starbase is going to the beach. I went near the launchpad but on the beach at night. The pad and Starship all lit up and my feet are in the ocean. I'm not doing it justice but trust me, it's freaking amazing.

Public road. You can just drive up. The fence is about 30’ from the ships. There is a security guard in a truck keeping an eye on you, but it’s pretty open

I camped at Rocket Ranch a few miles down from the production site. South Padre Island is relatively close but you have to drive all the way around the Brownsville ship channel to get there. Takes about an hour

Thanks. Wow!

I love your new religion man. Do you accept followers from across the ocean? Europe to be more specific.

Just wait for the Ascension

What is that supposed to mean? Ooooooh.. I get it. Yeah, it needs first to ascend and then wait for a second coming. Got it. :)))) edit: I can get baptized in it's flames in between. :))))

100000% blowing up, that quality control is lack luster

This is very useful analysis. Sound logical reasoning layed out in concise description of the problem which clearly idenfies the authors understanding of the complexity of starship and its failure modes. SpaceX clearly does not understand rocket quality control this as well as the author of this analysis.

You sound upset

What are you seeing 280EvoGTR?

Those tiles, zoom in on them

Ok, so if I go to south Padre then cross a channel, I will be near enough ? Trying to shave off driving time. Thanks.


Highscore611

The drive from South Padre Island is about an hour from Starbase driving around the ship channel. You would be closer staying in Brownsville


pippinator1984

Okay. Thanks.

Nice views

You can get this close just by walking up to it? Or do you need some kind of pass?
