Wow awesome stuff again! And along with all of the detailed knowledge and information I also appreciate your method of storytelling. Really draws us up to the punchline in an exciting way. I’m also comforted because sometimes I get the feeling that SpaceX is floundering right now. But your vid’s always reveal that they’re not floundering, they’re just having to solve a huge number of significant problems that are very difficult for most people to notice and understand. Thanks for your work!

Zack, in a 100% oxygen environment, you can light that stainless steel on fire with enough heat/pressure. The flame arrestors are likely made from Monel which will not easily burn even in 100% oxygen. They are also called Monel Stops and are very common in GOX systems. They aren't typically found in LOX systems as the cryo temps will usually put out any fire that could start inside the pipe.

Each vid you produce is denser and more thoughtful than the last. i paused this so many times just to think about what you had said. You really are critically thinking here. Also, and I hope this doesnt offend others, but of all the youtubers I see reporting on Starship progress (who by the way do a very good and entertaining job), its so clear that not only do you have an engineering background but years of experience to draw on. It takes a lot of studying and maths to end up having an intrinsic grasp of physics in action and once gained, it never leaves you. You see life through the lens of physics rulesets and that comes across really clearly in your presentations. Lastly, Im really happy you have eased down on the skits. Throwaway jokes are awesome, as is some of the self-referencing of you and other contributors, but the videos just have so much more gravitas now. As another commenter has said, you went from unknown to someone whos words many other large platformed youtubers should pay very close attention to before releasing a video, lest they make themselves look a bit daft. You are going to be huge Zack, once you get the secret sauce of depth of information, presentation, production quality and joking dialled in. Your vids are just as much an engineering masterpiece as the OLM.

@@CSIStarbase Hey Zack, what do you think of my "catch-only-tower" theory: I think the 3rd tower being built in Florida, might be a catch-only tower to be constructed on a "landing-zone" to practice booster/ship catches, without risking damage to the OLM and all the plumbing. Indicators: Lack of plumbing being installed inside each section (plumbing should have been done by now), given prop load to the QD arm is not need. In fact, no QD arm is needed at all for this tower which is given why we haven't seen a QD arm for this 3rd tower. But the catch-arms for the 3rd tower is visible if in pieces. Further, this tower is shorter, which makes sense since this tower won't be stacking a full ship so a full height tower isn't needed. Thoughts? Also, I still haven't gotten the goods for the discord channel. Cheers mate.

That would be the location people expect it to occur. However I believe its actually coming from the bottom of the LOX preburner. Its filled with LOX during chill down sequence and then CH4 is introduced during startup. There are 3 LOX drains, but the diagram only shows two. Thats the catch
