    It's insane how much is constantly being done at Starbase. The Starbase that never sleeps!
  • @Meister1551
    It 's amazing to not only watch the development of all these prototype vehicles, but also the development of the factory that builds the rockets. You folks do an amazing job presenting all of this to the world. Keep up the great work. Love the channel.
