Why SpaceX Was Forced To Completely Redesign Stage Zero! | Part 2

n Part 2 of this series we will continue with our investigation into the refurbishments and repairs required to return Starship's launch mount to operational status after each launch.

In Part 1 we covered Flights 1 through 3. In this episode we will cover flights 4 through 7. There will be a major focus on upgrades to the hold down clamps to prevent them from binding up and destroying the booster after liftoff.

By the end, I think you will agree that SpaceX has officially maxed out what is physically possible with version 1 of the Orbital Launch Mount.
