Hey everyone! We’ve been working non-stop to get the studio FULLY up and running now!!! This is a major future proofing upgrade that will allow for major expansions without headaches. We’re doing things right so we can provide the highest quality and lowest latency show, period. Once we’re at a point where we can actually do a stream, we’ll do a test stream with you all! Hopefully by tomorrow night 🤞 Thank you all for understanding how much time this has eaten up to make this happen and for your support which has literally made it possible!! You’re the best!

Nice.. and a good-old Cisco Catalyst switch.. 😉 (maybe it's new, the color scheme is just the old..)

It’s been so much fun watching your production capabilities grow. I can’t wait to see the results of this latest round of upgrades.

Are you going to be able to sneak in a trench-cam under SN11/BN2??

Just spent 2 weeks at the Saphire and now I feel like an expert on the area :)

Did you find a place inside the village? I drove through the village for the first time three weeks ago so I have a little context finally

I see no reason why you can't film any new content...! Keep up the great work. Please tell me you have a time lapse going. When it's all set up, could you do a behind the scenes video production 101? I have no idea what any of that is for.

That cable management... I can't wait to see it all wrapped up! Thank you for being our eyes, ears, and voice in the community.

Studio B is looking sick!, I’m really looking forward to watch the next stream with that new equipment. But to be honest, I thought the white background was just a temporary thing, I don’t know why you guys picked white for the BKG, it reflects a lot of light and make the red lights looks kind of pink. Picture that logo on a dark BKG with those beautiful red glowing lights! hehe 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻

It's clear now, why SN11 was delayed... SpaceX was waiting for you to get the finishing touches completed on Mars [Studio B] prior to SN11 flight. Looks professional and awesome! Thank you for keeping the community connected to all the history being made down there.

Ha! My demands are being met - as long as the tacos and poké keep flowing, I'm good!

Looking great and love the work!! Keep up being amazing and a huge congrats to the team for setting all this up! When it’s finished it’ll be a work horse! Can’t wait!!

As a guy who used to work live sound, that looks amazing ( if a little unlabeled)

Looka like home to me! Constellation, Behringer, Patching, Atem Panel! Love you setting !!

Looking great Tim 👍🏻 missing your live coverage of space events now but your new setup will be unrivalled. That main rack gonna be toasty! Blackmagic kit runs outrageously warm...so warm it’s failed on me just before shows 😟 Also agree with Phil about labelling 🏷 but that’s my live events ocd kicking in.

Nice setup ! Love watching your production grow. Can't wait till it's done :)

I bet that room smells of socks, fresh carpet, and electrical cabling!

You may have to change your moniker to "Everyday Electrician".

That is going to be some setup! It will be hot in there so some sort of major conditioner will be needed. Don't be too quick to zip tie cables until AFTER things have been tested out as my own experience found that one out the hard way.

Thank you for complement

The techie in me is drooling right now. Looking good!

Looks like lots of learnings all the way to get this done. Keep up the good work

Major issue I noticed was the lack of cable labels. I spent most of 35 years as a maintenance technician at a TV station. You have got to have wire labels, and a functional of how it's wired. Imagine having to remove the switcher for some reason. It's going to be tricky making sure the cables are connected correctly.

Just be sure to release the inertial damper before you try to fly that thing.

Checkout GripLock Ties. They are great, much better than normal zip ties.

It’s looks like someone said for small kid go and build your Studio. Awesome!!!

This is no longer an amateur operation. Way to go Tim. Great job doing things professionally. Remember, the work you do is actually very important. Working on the effort of documenting humanity's first steps toward Mars.

This really makes me miss my days working in a TV station! Looks great! 😁

But to find an educational TV station that focuses exclusively on educating the little guy about everything related to the future of space travel ... that will no longer be possible. Like this channel, there will be others, but Tim has taking that leep, no one will ever be able to surpass that anymore..he was the first. People will always relate to the initial brand: "Tim Dodd - The Everyday Astrounaut".

That studio looks sick!
