  This is the smell of the leftover tuna.
• 0:01
  Fish sandwich. You left in your lunch box over
• 0:03
  the weekend in a wimpy trash bag.
• 0:06
  Happy wimpy wimpy blah, and this is the smell of that same
• 0:11
  sandwich in a hefty ultra-strong trash bag.
• 0:14
  Happy happy happy smell the difference, Hefty.
• 0:18
  Ultra-strong has Armand Hammer with continuous Odor Control so
• 0:21
  no matter what's inside your trash You can stay one step
• 0:25
  ahead of stinky and for bigger jobs, tried the superior
• 0:28
  strength of Hefty, large black bags.
• 0:30
  SpaceX has been doing extensive testing on Starship, SN 20 at
• 0:35
  Boca Chica, Starbase Texas, over the last few weeks have been
• 0:39
  doing substantial cryogenic testing.
• 0:42
  They've also been doing crowd genetic testing for booster for
• 0:47
  in that time frame as well. And it seems like everything is
• 0:50
  going well for booster for now apparently, Lee a few days ago,
• 0:56
  SpaceX is Starship. SN 20 had a little fault during
• 0:59
  the cryogenic test and it looked like something kind of went
• 1:03
  wrong inside the ship. We're not exactly sure what
• 1:06
  happened there but they did have a crew working on ship 20 over
• 1:11
  the weekend here at Starbase there were people going into the
• 1:16
  manhole covers so to speak the the crew area where they can
• 1:22
  look inside of the ship and see. What's going on with the
• 1:25
  internals of the ship? Now it does this mean that ship
• 1:28
  20 isn't going to fly? We have no evidence at this
• 1:32
  point saying that ship 20 is not going to fly now ship 20 and
• 1:38
  booster for are supposed to be the first super heavy stack.
• 1:43
  That does a suborbital test ship 20 would be landing at Kawaii
• 1:48
  and booster for would be landing in the Gulf of Mexico.
• 1:52
  Now let's see what's going on. In the next week, see, what kind
• 1:55
  of road closures we have? So we can take a look at what
• 1:58
  the testing schedule is going to be like, for SpaceX down at
• 2:02
  Starbase Boca, Chica Texas. There is a road closure, the
• 2:07
  primary date road closure, March. 7th 2022 from 10 a.m. to
• 2:11
  10 p.m. now. That's a pretty normal schedule
• 2:15
  for SpaceX to test anything Starship related.
• 2:19
  Now, they're going to be testing cryogenic tests, of course, with
• 2:22
  booster for hopefully and hopefully Again, with ship 20
• 2:26
  and they'll probably do ship 21st because it seems like
• 2:30
  everything kind of passed the test.
• 2:32
  They weren't really working at it today.
• 2:33
  As you can see, from this footage, there was nobody at
• 2:36
  ship 20 doing any testing, and it seems like whatever may have
• 2:41
  happened. The other day, wasn't that big
• 2:43
  of a deal? Something just kind of got shook
• 2:44
  up. We're not exactly sure what
• 2:46
  happened down here. Now, they do have a secondary
• 2:50
  date, Tuesday, March 8. And then you have another
• 2:53
  secondary day. The Show is brought to you by
• 2:55
  backblaze. I use back place to backup my

• 3:22
  You can restore it by mail a I will come to your house with all
• 3:26
  your data shipped to your door. I could come to your business to
• 3:29
  and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
• 3:33
  hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
• 3:36
  and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
• 3:39
  hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
• 3:42
  it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
• 3:45
  You don't want to waste days and days downloading terabytes and
• 3:49
  teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
• 3:51
  accidentally, deleting your files to Buck.
• 3:54
  Extra month, you can increase your retention history to one
• 3:57
  year and I use it for all of my video.

  back plays.com Ilan backblaze.com heel on Wednesday
• 5:06
  March 9th in both of those are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• 5:12
  CST. So that's an all-day thing.
• 5:15
  That's a 12-hour test schedule. Now SpaceX has been known to
• 5:19
  cancel these tests and it cancel the road closures at the
• 5:24
  Minutes. So it's possible that these 10
• 5:26
  a.m. to 10 p.m. road closures. Just aren't a thing over the
• 5:30
  next few days. If they have a few more things
• 5:34
  to do Bishop 20 or with booster, for before they actually do the
• 5:38
  testing. Now, what else are they testing
• 5:41
  here? They're testing.
• 5:43
  The lines are testing the cryogenic lines and they're
• 5:45
  testing the new tanks that they got at Starbase.
• 5:48
  So they install some new tanks, a few new tanks the other day
• 5:52
  about a week ago. And they have lines running out
• 5:55
  to ship 20 and booster for and they had to test those tanks out
• 5:59
  now shift 20, they have had, what is this?
• 6:03
  This is for, I believe 45, cryogenic tests of ship 20.
• 6:09
  There were some in February, a bunch of February, like, 3 or 3.
• 6:14
  I think, three in February and there's one so far this month.
• 6:19
  So that's for at least of a cryogenic says they've had a
• 6:22
  static fire. A bunch of static.
• 6:24
  Too. But for static fires, they've
• 6:26
  had a pre burner test and these tests go back to September 29th
• 6:32
  of 2021. So this ship has been tested
• 6:34
  extensively. Now, booster for on the other
• 6:37
  hand has been tested as well cryogenically tested, but it has
• 6:41
  not been tested with the F, no pre burner test and no, static
• 6:48
  fire test for booster, for they just can't do that quite yet.
• 6:51
  So what's in store for ship? and booster for For the next
• 6:58
  week, let's just take a look so you know, boosted for his head
• 7:02
  up to five cryogenic tests, it seems like booster for is
• 7:05
  holding up really well. So could they be moving from
• 7:09
  ship 20 back to booster for and then they could go back to ship
• 7:15
  20 on a secondary dates. We'll see what happens but it
• 7:18
  seems like everything is okay with both of these articles now
• 7:25
  booster for Like I said, head cryogenic test and that goes all
• 7:28
  the way back to last. December December 17th of 2021?
• 7:32
  So booster for has been cryogenically tested ate a lot.
• 7:35
  There's been five tests of booster for as far as I know,
• 7:39
  and If they're going to do anything they'll probably do a
• 7:44
  cryo test of either booster for or ship 20 the next week.
• 7:48
  There's probably not going to be a full stack.
• 7:51
  If something were to have happened to ship 20, they will
• 7:55
  move ship 20 off the launch site in the move, it out of there so
• 8:01
  they can get another ship down there to start testing of that
• 8:04
  ship and that'll be fast. You know, could they be moving
• 8:08
  ship 20 on Monday? Get it out of there.
• 8:11
  If something were have to happen to it.
• 8:14
  That's a possibility. So they have 12 hours to move
• 8:17
  ship 20. They just did a bunch of road
• 8:19
  work today. Actually, I was down there today
• 8:20
  and this is the kind of kind of a great thing because the road
• 8:24
  between the the build site in the launch site is absolutely
• 8:28
  much better than it was even a week ago.
• 8:32
  So the road is great, they can transport things from the launch
• 8:36
  site to the build site of from the build site to the launch
• 8:38
  site very easily now. So I don't see a problem with
• 8:43
  them if they need to they need to move ship 20 back to the
• 8:48
  production site or if they have to move another ship down to the
• 8:52
  launch site so that doesn't seem like it's going to be a big
• 8:55
  problem here. I want to tell you guys about
• 8:58
  something I've been doing in the background with Neil.
• 9:00
  We you started start. Shirts.com, that's our merch
• 9:04
  store. Anything Starship related,
• 9:06
  anything, Elon Musk inspired is going to be on that shop.
• 9:10
  So Starships shirts.com place to go to get merge, it's really
• 9:16
  good actually. So Neil his tested it out, he
• 9:19
  said it's really great because run it through the wash a bunch
• 9:22
  of times kind of messed with it. Seeing if it's up to par and he
• 9:26
  said, it's great quality and we ship worldwide.
• 9:30
  And if you want A few want to Discount.
• 9:34
  Look at the top of the page Starship shirts.com.
• 9:37
  You can get 20% off and that's any order that you do.
• 9:41
  So, keep coming back for the 20% off.
• 9:44
  So that being said, I believe they're going to be doing a test
• 9:49
  of either, you know, ship 20 or booster for this coming week.
• 9:55
  I don't think they're going to be moving moving ship 20 out of
• 9:57
  there because if they were to have had something wrong with
• 10:01
  it, I They would have made plans to move it out of there and got
• 10:04
  the equipment in place to move it out of there over the weekend
• 10:08
  because he does have to have the device mover like so they have
• 10:14
  to have the Mover that ships the ship, I guess.
• 10:18
  Would be a good way to say it back to the production site.
• 10:22
  In from the production site back down and that's not that hard to
• 10:25
  do with. It's just a really slow roll you
• 10:27
  know. And that's not that big of a
• 10:29
  deal so I don't think they would close down a road for that.
• 10:31
  They just have to get them down there to move ship 20 back to
• 10:35
  the production site if something were to have failed on ship 20
• 10:39
  but what I could see today All the entry hatches were closed
• 10:46
  and it doesn't seem like anybody was working on the ship and if
• 10:49
  something were to actually happen, they'd be in there.
• 10:51
  Fixing it over the weekend. Thanks everybody for watching.
• 10:54
  I appreciate your time and I appreciate your support.
