Latest / Elon Musk Podcast / SpaceX Starship SN9 Launch Updates
Transcript
- 0:03And with me today, we have Neil Thorn my co-host for the day.
- 0:08Hello, everyone. And today, we're gonna be
- 0:11talking about Starship, sn9, we're going to do a recap of
- 0:15sn8, little bit of little bit of new information is out there
- 0:20about sn8. There's some also some super
- 0:24heavy stuff that we're going to take a look at real quick and
- 0:28that was kind of a kind of a new thing that we we happened upon
- 0:33so super heavy stuff. Super exciting.
- 0:37Super heavy, super exciting. So tone exciting.
- 0:40Yeah. It's I can't wait.
- 0:43I just can't wait. No slowing down at the old
- 0:45SpaceX. Their keep moving.
- 0:47Yeah, they feel rap. They don't stop.
- 0:49They keep it exciting. Scott, Slaughter back said, sn9
- 0:55was sad and needed a hug. Yes, sn9 was very sad because it
- 1:01is an 8. So we'll get the SN nines launch
- 1:07in a little bit, but we want to go over SN a real quick before
- 1:10we do that. We have some have some images.
- 1:15Of sn8. Let me check this out.
- 1:19Oh, by the way. Hello everybody.
- 1:21Hello, Deb's. Johan old bucket.
- 1:25All y'all Bob Brink Greg? Smith everybody everybody.
- 1:28Hello. So of course, we had the, you
- 1:35know, we had a successful successful sna launch in the
- 1:43landing wasn't so successful, but everything else was
- 1:45absolutely awesome. So many was perfect for me and
- 1:49you'll wanted that land of gold. I wanted to see some explosions.
- 1:53Yeah, what does he's after all? The after, all the details were
- 1:57recorded and Kept for Prosperity.
- 2:00Yeah, exactly. You know, the the fact that I
- 2:05said neat did so well, like, that is insane, it's insane.
- 2:09How perfect that launch was and there were so many surprises
- 2:14through the whole thing. You know, the from you know, the
- 2:19first surprise was that it actually got off the launch pad.
- 2:21Like that was, that was the first surprise, I was like, no
- 2:24way. And then it was the first time
- 2:27three raptors have lunch together, all giggling and
- 2:31whatnot, it's pretty cool. Yeah, they worked fantastically
- 2:34like they worked on rate and the thing that really surprised me
- 2:39the most was when they got to a point where they could start
- 2:43shutting off engines as they were peeking at that was when
- 2:47would 42 was a last one left? I was freaking out.
- 2:51Yeah, and I didn't expect that, I thought they were going to go
- 2:55up to Apogee, shut off and belly flop and then, you know, but
- 2:59they went one by one engine, shut off.
- 3:01And yeah, the more you think about it, the more it makes
- 3:04sense, right? They wanted the instead of just
- 3:05shutting off the engines and and coasting to apogee.
- 3:08Like, you don't really get any data from that, they decided to
- 3:12take it right to the top and shut down the engines, one by
- 3:14one, and see how they rocket controls with fewer engines or,
- 3:19or mixture. Yeah, and it's a smoother
- 3:22smoother Ascent at the very top because it's not just it Cut
- 3:26off. You know.
- 3:27So it was really smart of them to do that.
- 3:30I'm not sure if that's going to happen on every launch, but I
- 3:33think that was a smart move on their part.
- 3:35For this one, we have a couple other pictures of S8 that's
- 3:40that's some some damage there of sn8 that poor.
- 3:44Yeah that right there is inside the Lox tank.
- 3:48Looking at the top of the actually you're inside the
- 3:50methane tank looking down at the methane header tank, which is
- 3:53what that circle is. All right right here.
- 3:56Look at that. It's, that's the damage.
- 3:59That's some damage and also the tent in the back, got a little
- 4:03bit of damage to. So yeah, I noticed yesterday.
- 4:06That the tent fabric is now gone.
- 4:08Oh, okay. So they've checked the redoing
- 4:10the whole thing. Yeah.
- 4:12Okay. I didn't see, I had to know.
- 4:13They were gonna have to do that. Yeah, they're not just got,
- 4:16that's so attentive. Very awkward position for
- 4:19launches. Yeah, yeah.
- 4:21I mean, yeah, they can't just get somebody out there with it,
- 4:25needle and thread. If you fix it up, then we have a
- 4:29couple others. So, this is some shrapnel from
- 4:33sn8, and this is from RGV, aerial photography.
- 4:37By the way, shoutout to RGV. Probably the best aerial
- 4:41photographer around Boca Chica, gets amazing views of this area
- 4:47all the time like every day updates.
- 4:49So check out RGV aerial photography patreon because you
- 4:53get like Insider Stuff before everybody else in the world gets
- 4:57it. You get it.
- 4:58Usually I do 10 hours before everybody else, and you just get
- 5:03to the just look at this. Really cool stuff.
- 5:05So RGV got a cool shout out. But look at this, look at this
- 5:09damage. It's amazing.
- 5:11This is must be 100 meters from the, from the landing?
- 5:15Yeah, it's across the road. Yeah.
- 5:19So here's the, you can see the kind of, we don't know exactly
- 5:21what else this stuff is. But it looks like they at the
- 5:23sort of lower skirt as well as a one of the bottom flaps.
- 5:27Yeah, sitting there, you can see a little flap action there
- 5:30because it's a nice flat corner there.
- 5:33A nice flat surface. Another some of the Beech wood
- 5:36over here, or in the sand, couple couple small pieces and
- 5:40then this there's a there's a metal rod of some sort.
- 5:44I'm not sure maybe that's a flat piece to we're not sure exactly
- 5:47what the stuff is though. We're not sure exactly where the
- 5:51stuff is yet in the might be some other debris over here to,
- 5:54I saw this but, you know, we're just kind of speculating at this
- 5:57point. There's also big jump over here,
- 5:59Landing. I love the landing of that
- 6:01chunk. Look at that.
- 6:02It looks like it's out of a movie.
- 6:03That one. Yeah, look at rocket ship has
- 6:06landed on the earth or crashed landed under Earth.
- 6:09And that's the scarring. Yeah, it's kid all the way
- 6:13across there. That's that's awesome.
- 6:15Yeah. So there's there's some pieces
- 6:17everywhere and that's why they have the no flying.
- 6:19Zones of the left as well. There it is.
- 6:20Yeah, it's guy to you can see, you know, people walking around
- 6:24checking out you can see their Footprints in here and James
- 6:29marples at Elon should sell pieces of the sn8 as souvenirs.
- 6:33I think that would be cool. I think that would be cool.
- 6:36I would certainly want one. Yep, same here.
- 6:40But as you can see, it's that thing blew up a lot.
- 6:45So yeah, there was there was a Big blast radius from that
- 6:50thing. And there's Elon with Marvin the
- 6:54Martian, his little doggy on the pad surveying the damage.
- 6:59Yeah, that's amazing. It's amazing.
- 7:04I want to write this one off. You Lon.
- 7:07It might buff out. I don't know.
- 7:10They could probably fix it up. Something they can reuse, right?
- 7:15Yeah, they can read something downcomer pipe, that looks
- 7:18pretty good. It could ya.
- 7:19Again, I don't, that's not been too much.
- 7:20They could probably get a hammer or something and pound that out.
- 7:24Yeah, so yeah, there's there's a pile of rack is the pile of
- 7:28rubble there. Pile of rubble and here, my
- 7:32friends. Sn9.
- 7:36Lesson 9 being held up by the big blue crane.
- 7:39Yeah, okay so this is asinine fell over right fell over in the
- 7:45bay and did a little bit of damage.
- 7:49You can see here On the nose. Flap up here, some damage to
- 7:56that and they've already started bringing in new flaps to replace
- 8:01these ones. It's much as I've heard and this
- 8:04one I'm not sure. Do you know anything about the
- 8:06bottom flap? The only what I've seen it looks
- 8:10damaged to me, it looks like it took a little chunk out of the
- 8:12side of it. But overall, the ship looks way
- 8:15better than I thought it would and thank goodness.
- 8:16It's made of stainless steel and that carbon fiber because
- 8:19there's a write-off. It was carbon stainless steel,
- 8:22it probably just go into the hammer, punch it out if there's
- 8:25any dents. Yeah.
- 8:26Literally, the world's won't be any and you are so yep.
- 8:31Yeah. And that's kind of how you fix
- 8:33stainless steel. It's it's, you know, Carbon
- 8:36Fiber, the whole thing would have been destroyed.
- 8:38And, you know, I mean, it probably would have had cracks
- 8:41throughout it, Etc, carbon correct.
- 8:43You can even see to, right? Yeah.
- 8:45You'd have to, you'd have to describe it.
- 8:47I think, I think so too, because you couldn't risk it with this.
- 8:50You can actually see the dents and just like literally hit it
- 8:54out with a hammer or some other percussive you know and who had
- 8:57the worst case scenario crack formed, make a welt that and
- 9:02you're just you're back in business.
- 9:04Yeah, it's that's why they chose you.
- 9:07It's easier. It They can prototype really
- 9:09fast and if something happens to, I was worried at first, I
- 9:11was worried. They wouldn't be able to use sn9
- 9:13anymore, but it really just looks like the fins got damaged
- 9:16replace those and yep, I think they're back in business.
- 9:20Yep, they use this crane. This is from Lab Padre.
- 9:23That Padres amazing full-time. 24/7.
- 9:27You get 24/7 views of The Starship pad all the time.
- 9:34Like, all the time of the nurdle.
- 9:35Cam big fan of that channel was on.
- 9:37Well, I know we've found sn9. Did you want to show that
- 9:41labeled sn8? Oh yeah.
- 9:43Graphic you got here somewhere. I gotta find it.
- 9:46I thought it was pretty cool. Yeah, let me find it real quick.
- 9:49I got it. I may have.
- 9:52Oh, there it is. Okay, this is another one from
- 9:55RG RG V Ariel. I'm going to skip this one over.
- 9:59I put it in the end, but in the sn9, Collection.
- 10:02But this is what was that? It was nice of him to label it
- 10:07for ya. 100% because this is, if you're on mobile, this is going
- 10:15to be really hard to see ya, sorry.
- 10:18But, you know, you can check this out, we'll post it on
- 10:22Discord to but there's a Tesla battery right here and I'll try
- 10:29to go through it all. Let's go for the top.
- 10:31Left kind of to the, you know, kind of go clockwise around
- 10:34here. So, Was that see opv.
- 10:38The top left. Yeah, which is essentially a
- 10:41reinforced pressure vessel. Yeah, there's a bunch of those.
- 10:45This one right here, this one right here.
- 10:47This one right here, I'll see a peavey's.
- 10:50And then we're going to go and of course there's the nose cone
- 10:53in the middle, you can see the nose cone but the fins are still
- 10:56kind of there. And it's, you know, they labeled
- 10:58it with upper fins, just take that one off and put it on
- 11:00asinine. If it doesn't look bad like
- 11:03honest with you, it doesn't look bad.
- 11:04I I'm pretty astounding That that actually survived like that
- 11:08is a, that's in really good shape, considering what
- 11:11happened? Yeah, there's a Tesla battery
- 11:14right here in the middle after finding attachment or something.
- 11:19What was that? It looks like the battery leak,
- 11:21perhaps. Yeah.
- 11:22Oh, yeah. Like it laughs don't bottom
- 11:27right here. My favorite part is the imprint
- 11:29of the, where the legs were present at the imprint of where
- 11:32it landed. The big circle is white circle,
- 11:35they're not on the On the right side, right in the middle and
- 11:38right side. I can't find it.
- 12:00Yeah, that's great. They must have dug out a nice
- 12:03little trench in there. With all that heavy metal coming
- 12:09down. Maurice official says it runs on
- 12:11test the batteries. Yeah, there was a Tesla battery
- 12:13on there to run a lot of the instrumentation and whatnot.
- 12:18It takes a lot of electricity apparently to run last night.
- 12:21Yeah, I guess so, there's an imprint of the legs right here.
- 12:24And right here, you can kind of see them.
- 12:28You can see very clearly on desktop, but on mobile, it might
- 12:31be hard in the impact part. Is this whole circle right here,
- 12:34so Atlanta, so it impacted their In this stuff all over the
- 12:38place, like all all across the whole landing area, their leg
- 12:44attachments, right open in some spots.
- 12:47Oh yeah, it's just ripped ripped apart, Morsi opv down here,
- 12:52possible. Leg down here in the bottom
- 12:54right underneath me. You can't really see it.
- 12:56But pad guys, actually, like, if you look around, yes, there, but
- 13:03there's some attached up top as well.
- 13:06They're like, Like it. Oh man.
- 13:09That is yeah, that's incredible. Like there's a leg.
- 13:13Yeah. Pad gouging, possibly caused by
- 13:17aft fin to the left. So I looked at that are, there's
- 13:21a higher res version of this. I looked at that, it looks like
- 13:23a piece of metal to be honest. I don't think that's catchy.
- 13:25Okay, okay, but it looks like right here.
- 13:28If you can see this, this area, this looks like the pad was
- 13:33damaged right there. I can't tell what that exactly
- 13:37there, but it looks like metal to, I can't really tell it read.
- 13:41This is all reinforced concrete, this is very strong.
- 13:43There's not really any gouging of this little crack and break
- 13:48perhaps but I can't see gouging of this.
- 13:51Yeah, I mean the only thing that I can really see that was like
- 13:54a. That's right Bob.
- 13:55Cobb says it can't believe Atlanta.
- 13:57So close to perfect. Yeah, yeah.
- 13:58It looks like it was almost dead straight up.
- 14:02Yeah, and like for the First Flight of the thing with two
- 14:06Raptors at the bottom. You know, at the end of the
- 14:09flight like to still be able to land this thing up, right?
- 14:14Is absolutely incredible engineering.
- 14:16So if only all the ends engines were working Bob.
- 14:19Yeah, I agree. I agree that we, I think we had
- 14:23to Revel in that explosion because it may be the last one
- 14:26we see from Tesla for a while or not Tesla SpaceX.
- 14:30In Tesla, with her batteries, I was reading that.
- 14:36Yeah, so, so, as an eight, rip in peace, if you'd like to pay
- 14:41respects, of course, you can put F in chat and, you know, we've
- 14:45had that before, as sn8 crashed during the live show, and that
- 14:50was really fun, but let's get back to sn9.
- 14:58So space flight or NASA space flight has a bunch of images,
- 15:04bunch of pictures, bunch of YouTube, videos of thank you
- 15:07very much for the deaf and chat. Thanks for paying your respects
- 15:09to sn8, appreciate your support. So they use this crane.
- 15:14Zillah hear, I don't really want to play the video but we can
- 15:19skip through it. And as you can see, It was it
- 15:25was way crooked. What it was tipped over way
- 15:29crooked in the crane, propped it back or brought it back up.
- 15:34Let me get this thing. It's not work.
- 15:35It's not scrubbing now. Anyway.
- 15:37Yes, not scrub and properly, I don't know why.
- 15:42I was just working a couple seconds ago, that's what life is
- 15:45all about. But basically, crane brings it
- 15:47up to vertical and bro, seems to be okay.
- 15:51Like, I don't think it had any really bad damage to it, to the,
- 15:55to the hall to the to the rocket part of it.
- 15:59Basically. It's, it looks like it's going
- 16:01to be all right. Now we haven't heard.
- 16:03We don't have any official word on that.
- 16:04Yeah. But we're just making guesses
- 16:08and basing, our judgment on what we're looking at.
- 16:11Just the same as you. Ooh, s'mores official says, how
- 16:15did it fall over? Okay, so the amount at the
- 16:20bottom, his legs on it in those legs collapsed.
- 16:23It wasn't. I don't think it was ready for
- 16:25the girth of the sn9, so it just kinda just fell over those legs
- 16:30collapsed. Well, as Syrian done it, sure go
- 16:34ahead. You have a picture of Elon
- 16:36standing in front of sn9. Correct.
- 16:39Yeah, let me try to find that. Let's see here.
- 16:44So we got a picture of Elon here standing in front of sn9.
- 16:49Look that guy air is so proud. So there's a couple of things to
- 16:56look at in here. There was another one with this
- 16:59arms race. Do you have that one by any
- 17:01chance? A little bit?
- 17:02You can see the ground or he looks so cool, though.
- 17:07Yeah, let me see if I can find it.
- 17:08I see if I can find it. Is it from the same tweet storm
- 17:13there? Yeah.
- 17:15Okay. With his arms raised.
- 17:21Just this one of him taking his taking the picture, that's the
- 17:23only one I have. I don't know where the other one
- 17:26went because I saw a to I'd find it real quick, sorry.
- 17:31Okay everybody that's all right we can look at that guy.
- 17:36I mean it's an AR it's on our chat.
- 17:39There wasn't okay. Let me try to find it here.
- 17:48Let me see here. Oh, there it is.
- 17:50Okay, I found it. I found it.
- 17:53I seen it. I'll see you later.
- 17:57Okay. There we go.
- 17:59So that's left. I believe these pictures are
- 18:02taken before the damage happened, but you can see
- 18:07they're right behind them. There's a roll of Steel attached
- 18:10to the stand. Yep, there's no reason to do
- 18:15that, unless I thought that stand was off balance or week or
- 18:18something like that, right? Yeah, I guess.
- 18:22And it looks like you see that the point that is attached to is
- 18:26missing from the front of the stand.
- 18:31Oh maybe. Yeah, right.
- 18:32So my guess is that there were they detach that structure that
- 18:37trust I guess or whatever you want to call that to install the
- 18:40Raptor engines, which you can actually see as well that are
- 18:42installed in that shot there. Yeah, it's so cool.
- 18:46I just, I really hope the bells of the Rapture didn't get
- 18:49damaged or the Raptors themselves and get damaged.
- 18:51It's quite possible. The the changing the stand to
- 18:54add. The Raptors might have weakened.
- 18:55It is my guess, and they knew something was wrong because
- 18:58they've got a roll of Steel to Is this thing?
- 19:01A really heavy rule of Steel. Yeah.
- 19:03So incredibly yeah they're trying to see.
- 19:06Do you think they're trying to counterbalance it?
- 19:08Is that what you think? I think so.
- 19:10But again I without being there and looking at it it's hard to
- 19:13end being a whipping an engineer.
- 19:15It's hard to see. Yeah.
- 19:16And also why won't they do this? Otherwise there's no reason to
- 19:20have a rule still there? Yeah.
- 19:21Unless they thought something might be wrong.
- 19:24Yeah, exactly. Like what you don't just tie,
- 19:28you know, a ton of steel or whatever, you know, how much
- 19:31ever many pounds of steel? This is to, you know, I'm a
- 19:35raptor like to a rocket Mount. Just cuz because you felt like
- 19:39it. I mean, it's not like, Yo dude,
- 19:41I'm gonna prank everybody. That you're fret this up, you
- 19:44don't do that, not in this sort of situation, but anything, but
- 19:47seriously saying, there's another rule of Steel tied to it
- 19:49at the back. Hmm, the other is to over here.
- 19:53You can see it over here. Now, the left side of this first
- 19:56roll, there's another. So it's pull probably the
- 20:01opposite direction that the stand failed at.
- 20:03So the clear that you something was up or this is after it's
- 20:07happened. We can't really tell because we
- 20:09can't see any damage. This show is brought to you by

- 23:23they're just trying to make sure it doesn't happen again.
- 23:24But my guess is that this is before.
- 23:27Yeah we're hoping we're hoping it's before and then we kind of
- 23:30get an idea. Andre thank you so much for that
- 23:33for that. Super Chat.
- 23:34The hey you it's super chat. Thank you.
- 23:38So we have yes oh yes we have we know.
- 23:43So we know that there were engines on this thing we can see
- 23:49them. Yeah you can see them the right
- 23:51here and there was speculation for days and days and days
- 23:54about, you know, if this thing can just go to the pad and
- 23:56launch and if it didn't tip over, it's possible that that
- 24:01could have happened that they could have just roll this thing
- 24:03out. Set it up and then in a week or
- 24:05two, we could have had a launch. But now, you know, we have to
- 24:09wait, we have to wait until the damages assessed they fix up the
- 24:13things, they ding out the dance actually looking it up pictures.
- 24:18From that same series, you can see that it's not damaged so
- 24:21this would be for the damage happened.
- 24:23Okay. Pre failure.
- 24:25Then so pre failure. Okay. so yeah, we're kind of
- 24:30figuring out, you know, as we go as well, you know, like, how
- 24:34much is this thing damaged, when will they When will they launch?
- 24:41This thing, is it going to be too damaged to actually fly?
- 24:45You know, and that's all going to happen.
- 24:48You know, in the next couple days we're going to try to
- 24:49figure that out. Is it too damaged?
- 24:53From what we've seen though? When you said earlier, it looks
- 24:55okay. You know, it doesn't look like
- 24:57it's really, you know, it's not bent or anything like that, you
- 25:01know. It doesn't look like it's like
- 25:02structural Integrity is depleted.
- 25:05It just looks like the the flaps in the fins were kind of, you
- 25:09know, a little bit. A little bit dented and then
- 25:11they can at least those, it's a nose.
- 25:13Can someone has it then that's not really going to affect the
- 25:15flight. Right?
- 25:16Branch right. And the or if it does, the
- 25:18Raptors will be able to compensate by gimbley.
- 25:21Yeah. So it's really whether the tanks
- 25:23have denser. Whether the tanks have any
- 25:25damage. That's where they're going to
- 25:27have real problems. Yeah.
- 25:28So we're yeah we're going to we're going to keep an eye on
- 25:31that for you because the possibility that this thing
- 25:36doesn't fly in the have to They have to move on to SN 10 you
- 25:42know that's it's a possibility, you know, is this thing going to
- 25:45be able to you know be able to fly basically you know do they
- 25:50have to trash it? We should say as well as photos
- 25:53by Steve jurvetson at Future jurvetson and Twitter.
- 25:57So have that covered. He's also got a great shot of
- 26:01the interior of a nose cone which I thought was pretty cool.
- 26:03I've wanted to see that for a while.
- 26:06Let's see this, I have a. There it is.
- 26:09Okay, so let me find that for you guys real quick.
- 26:15Here's a really great shot of the, the Tilted sn9.
- 26:20By the way, this is how bad it was.
- 26:22It has fallen over. Like, that's not good.
- 26:26I get it all. That's not good, but imagine if
- 26:29it felt any other direction. Yeah, and that's for Michael
- 26:31Baylor. Yeah.
- 26:32If it felt any other direction, what is it fell right here?
- 26:35Outside of the building? It could have hit somebody if it
- 26:38felt the other way. Inside that building, it would
- 26:41have taken out super heavy. Yeah, that would have been
- 26:43really Really bad. So yeah we're thankful that it
- 26:49landed there you know that didn't really land.
- 26:52It just fell over it where it is and there's there's another shot
- 26:55this shot from earlier to of Ilan was really good.
- 26:59High res shot. But the engines does anybody in
- 27:04chat he chat. I need a I need some help from
- 27:06you guys. Does anybody know the numbers on
- 27:10the engines? That's what we're looking for.
- 27:13Last time we had 42 and two others, I'm not sure exactly
- 27:16what they are off the top of my head, but 42 is, you know, is is
- 27:21the hero of all the engines. Ranked Supreme says 46 Ferguson
- 27:31there. Says nine joke.
- 27:33Okay, yes, we're looking for the numbers on on these Raptors
- 27:40between 1 and 1000. Good job, thanks.
- 27:43Thanks Bobby. You guys are really helpful
- 27:44today, thanks, Sam. Yeah, so if you know, just, you
- 27:50know, just just hit us up, hit me up on Twitter, too and a
- 27:54steal on, on Twitter yesterday. But he Get back to me funny
- 27:57enough weird that's weird. And why wouldn't strange also
- 28:03can? I'm just going to jump back to
- 28:04SNA for like two seconds. Two seconds for sn8 SpaceX has
- 28:10really great pictures on their Flickr account of SNH launch.
- 28:18Just really great high-res photos, the belly flop Etc.
- 28:21And so they have a you know like probably five six photos but I
- 28:24want to show you guys that before we moved on.
- 28:27How to new things. It's beautiful.
- 28:30Yeah, absolutely stunning. I don't know where I put that
- 28:33other photo here. Let me, let me go back to these
- 28:35tweets, but I want to show you guys some more of these s N9 s,
- 28:40N9 pictures. We got from Steve jurvetson
- 28:47jurvetson. I'm not sure.
- 28:48Sorry, Steve, I'm sure one of those two things but there's,
- 28:53that's what you're talking about earlier, right?
- 28:55Inside the nose cone. Yeah.
- 28:56So that's likely to be Be on one of the stands just after it's
- 29:00been built or something like that you can see right up to the
- 29:02top so there's no locks header tank at the top there yet.
- 29:06Oh yeah. Yeah that's crazy.
- 29:09That that's it. That's the amount of space that
- 29:11we're dealing with. We're looking at it interior of
- 29:13Starship but you're also looking at another four rings underneath
- 29:17him. Yeah.
- 29:18So another another 15 feet and other four meters 5 meters
- 29:23schnapps. All right, that M?
- 29:25That's so much sense. Yeah.
- 29:27So massive, it's going to be huge.
- 29:31Yeah, that's a shot. We haven't seen yet.
- 29:33I wanted to really see a shot from inside.
- 29:35Sn8 snows to see what it looks like in there but we never saw
- 29:39one. See if we get any more detail in
- 29:40here. It's kind of fuzzy above his
- 29:42head but can't really see much in there.
- 29:46It's pretty empty. The attachment points for the
- 29:52fins. Look interesting.
- 29:54I'm assuming those are, I'm not sure to be honest.
- 29:57Like seems like it. Yeah, possibly.
- 30:04Yeah, that's pretty cool man. Pretty cool stuff.
- 30:08And then he had a shot of the attachment points for the heat
- 30:12tiles as well, which is pretty interesting.
- 30:14And there's an outside shot of sn9 with the flaps folded and
- 30:19secured. There you can see, there's no
- 30:21damage to the flaps. Yeah, it's our Neo pork logo up
- 30:24there. I think there's a Neo pork logo
- 30:26up here. But yeah, you can see the
- 30:30Raptors below as well down here. I'm like looking down here like
- 30:33I'm going underneath the rocket but there's Raptors below.
- 30:38So the Raptors were definitely mounted there and some people
- 30:41hanging out the Stargate. Where was this?
- 30:46There was a whole series of the stuff.
- 30:48And then these ones right here, I think it's massive I think is
- 30:52absolutely massive s'mores officials as my model sna.
- 30:58I lit it on fire so don't be like real life.
- 31:00Oh, don't do that, don't do that.
- 31:05And I'm not sure what this is. I'm says, SN 46 is on site.
- 31:09There's no more information. You can find any information on
- 31:12Reddit are SpaceX. Look at our ship element thread.
- 31:16Thank you very much for that. I thank you.
- 31:19Check out Reddit SpaceX Lounge to.
- 31:21It's kind of a, a bit of a cold, but be the attachment points for
- 31:23the heat tiles. Okay.
- 31:25Which is quite interesting. So that's probably just a
- 31:27mock-up. I don't think that's good.
- 31:29That's probably inside that Building but yeah.
- 31:34So there's going to be when they put these details on there's
- 31:36going to be a little space behind the heat tile.
- 31:39They're not going to be right up against the stainless steel and
- 31:41that's to allow for air movement to cool things down a little bit
- 31:45as well. Oh cool.
- 31:46So the heat on the heat tiles. Doesn't directly go straight to
- 31:49the stainless steel. Okay, so so the heat, the heat
- 31:54tiles will absorb the Heat and if there's anything coming off
- 31:56the heat tiles towards the rocket itself.
- 31:58It could have little chance for it to.
- 32:00Yeah, there's a chance for it to get blown away like a thermal
- 32:04cooling things or like a like, heat sink on a CPU on a
- 32:07computer. Okay, Cashman points.
- 32:10Yes, thank you Edmond. Very cool.
- 32:15Whoo, look at that. Look at that.
- 32:16Beautiful, are those? I haven't really I don't know.
- 32:23That would be one of the domes for that tank.
- 32:26So there wouldn't be anything inside that.
- 32:28It's just those are just boxes for like rates.
- 32:30Yeah, such there would be anything in there that that's
- 32:32just for this, just for the looks like a cup or Dome.
- 32:36Perhaps yeah. I was like I was like this is a
- 32:39Tesla battery under there but no it's not it's definitely not.
- 32:44But you can you can see how like so this is this is handmade.
- 32:48Like these are people making this thing these aren't robots.
- 32:51This isn't 3D printed or anything people, write on here,
- 32:54right? So, during the process of
- 32:56building this thing, they see things that you know, they have
- 33:00to make marks of, you know, what they've done basically proofing
- 33:04their work. And for the next person that
- 33:06comes with the comes along in the works on these things as
- 33:08well if the show them what happens what the what they
- 33:12already worked on. And what means well done?
- 33:16I'm sorry. What was that?
- 33:17Well, it's look beautiful. Yeah, and yeah, they're just
- 33:20getting better and better at it. Yeah.
- 33:22And there's some, I saw some shots yesterday of What were
- 33:28they that the flaps and they were just absolutely just
- 33:33beautifully built beautifully smooth and you know compared to
- 33:39the S8 I got to find. Those are comparing this.
- 33:43Beautiful no shots were ahead of the other nine to show it.
- 33:46They're really, really smooth compared to what sn8 had been
- 33:50the gateway to Mars. You get that.
- 33:51Cool cool thermos. Who wants one of these this
- 33:55point. It doesn't look exactly like SN
- 33:575 & 6. Let's go but you can kind of see
- 34:04in this like how that's going to look at how smooth that bottom
- 34:08flap is. Yeah.
- 34:09Compared to what sne was a snake was buckling and all kinds of
- 34:12like even judge one iteration. There's so much better at it.
- 34:15Yeah. So they're going to get better
- 34:18and better. And you can see up there to like
- 34:21it's very smooth on the top 12. So yeah, they're just going to
- 34:27get so much better at it. The process like they have to
- 34:31figure out the process, and that's an eight. was first in
- 34:35the long line of Of ships that they'll be destroying.
- 34:43Probably maybe not destroying. I think I think maybe after this
- 34:48I think they're going to do. Okay so let me ask chat real
- 34:52quick don't think we're going to see another crash?
- 34:55Yeah do you think okay. I want to see in chat, do you
- 35:01think sn9 will make it to the pad we need in chat?
- 35:06Y for yes or n for? No.
- 35:08And that means full mission. Like they're going to land
- 35:12perfectly for us. A nine y for yes.
- 35:15And for no, we're getting a bunch of yeses.
- 35:18We got a couple knows, we got a couple of those Patrick Stewart.
- 35:22Got some a bunch of wise, Patrick Stewart.
- 35:26Welcome welcome captain. Andre can't read that.
- 35:37So yes, it's got some noise out there.
- 35:40People saying, Before it stood upright I was in the no category
- 35:46but now that I've seen what's it looks like I think that they're
- 35:48probably okay. Sakura says, no structural
- 35:55failure on pressure, really you think it's going to just it's
- 35:58not going to make it off the pad?
- 36:01They are going to test the pressure on this a thousand
- 36:04times nitrogen before they go anywhere near something that's
- 36:07going to explode. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:09They're going to so that that kind of brings us to, you know,
- 36:12the next phase of this whole sn9 thing, you know, now that we
- 36:16have, they have it up right now, the third check-in it out and
- 36:19they're fixing it. When is it going to launch?
- 36:23And, you know, I've heard rumors of, you know, I've heard rumors
- 36:29of today, right? But that's not going to happen.
- 36:32That was, before the act that was before the accident, right?
- 36:35So we have Boca Chica road, closing, closings, and Monday,
- 36:39December 14th 2020. The closure has been canceled.
- 36:44so, This was the document on the 10th proposing that the road, be
- 36:51closed, basically, for space operations, but now it's been
- 36:54canceled. So we're not getting a launch.
- 36:56Today, we know that much, we know that we're not getting a
- 36:59launch today. Now, speculation here about the
- 37:05launch, if everything is okay, they get those flaps replaced
- 37:12They need to do some testing, right?
- 37:16So we they have to do failure, testing pressure testing a lot
- 37:21of pressure testing. If the they have to go over this
- 37:24thing with a fine-tooth comb and make sure that you know other
- 37:27than the flaps when is this thing going to launch?
- 37:30We you know your guess is as best as good as ours right now
- 37:35but taking some things into consideration I would I would
- 37:41think with in Three weeks. We're going to get a launch of
- 37:44SN night within three weeks. I know everything.
- 37:49Yep, I agree with that. I think it's on the pad end of
- 37:51this week. Yep.
- 37:52I think so. Do I think they'll move it out?
- 37:54Put on the pad and of this week is long as everything's.
- 37:57Okay, the History either a good sorry that you can either Skip
- 38:03sn9 and finish that sen 10 or they can use the parts that were
- 38:06going on as antenna put on - and 9 and continue on.
- 38:10Yep. And if they, if we, if we get
- 38:15this thing, you know, fixed up. If we get the flaps fixed up,
- 38:19then I in there's no structural Integrity damage that they can
- 38:22see and they get these, you know, they can move it out there
- 38:26with a crane and they can get it to the pad.
- 38:29Yeah. Within I think three weeks man,
- 38:31I think within two weeks they could within a week, they could
- 38:34start testing it within a week. So my guess some closures over
- 38:38this weekend. Doubly, so we'll see.
- 38:41We'll see. Yeah, but they have to have to
- 38:47do a lot of checking to make sure they will either scrap 9 or
- 38:51move on to tense as nickhun. Yeah, Yep for sure.
- 38:56And SN 10 and even 11 or too far behind sn9 right now.
- 39:00Yeah. So if s N9 isn't capable of
- 39:03launching SNS and 11 will be out within, you know, within three
- 39:08weeks. I assume they could get them
- 39:10done in three weeks and probably start testing as well.
- 39:13As I said it but it was going with the flaps on it sitting in
- 39:16the wind breaks. Oh yeah.
- 39:19It's ready to go. Yep.
- 39:21John going says will they do a hop first?
- 39:25They're gonna do this thing. Is going to be another you know,
- 39:29either 12.5 or 15K hop. So you know they won't go back
- 39:34then we'll do a small hop. They'll just keep moving
- 39:37forward. They're going to do a big launch
- 39:38on this one unless they find exact same program.
- 39:41Is sn8? Yeah.
- 39:43I think so too. I think they have to test the
- 39:45flaps properly. Get, they have to make sure that
- 39:47the rockets reignite at the Landing, everything has been
- 39:52assembled, it wasn't funny, right?
- 39:54Yeah. Yeah, they want to make sure
- 39:56that essay was just, you know, it was a one-off and then
- 40:00physically write this thing a hundred times before they put
- 40:02humans. Do so it's one of those times
- 40:05and other ones that we have one so far.
- 40:07Yep. Yeah yeah.
- 40:11Yeah we need we need 99 more so that being said you know s and I
- 40:20were thinking three weeks ish somewhere on there.
- 40:24SN 10. Well, that's an 11 have spinners
- 40:26on. It says, Benny welcher wasn't
- 40:29having it Spinners rims. Oh, nice nice, Margie bees on
- 40:35there. How cool would it be if there
- 40:37are jeebies on a set of other than me,
- 40:56Compared to a falcon 9. The absolute like the
- 41:01massiveness of this rocket. It's you can fit like three
- 41:06Falcon 9's side-by-side out of this and it's it's this massive.
- 41:11So when you see this thing doing its thing, when you see it
- 41:14launching you, think back to the really skinny Falcon 9.
- 41:18But Falcon 9 is also huge but Starship SN not 89, Etc.
- 41:24Are nine meters in diameter, so it's pretty big.
- 41:28Like, it's a big place to live on your way to Mars, for sure.
- 41:33So there'll be be testing these things in the next, you know,
- 41:37next year, two years, maybe, and then launch it towards the moon.
- 41:43So everybody in chat, there's a ton of questions coming through
- 41:47and we can't keep up with it. Can you, please make sure that
- 41:49your tagging space news pot at space, news pod to make sure
- 41:53that will cease your questions the very helpful.
- 41:56Yeah, it's even easier to see super chance but obviously,
- 41:59we're not going to expect that from you.
- 42:00If you can least tag him, that'd be great.
- 42:02Yep. SN 9 flight date system Jones,
- 42:07we're not sure. Yet, to be honest with you, we
- 42:10had our jeebies. What was it that the RGB is on?
- 42:14Landing RGB colors are wait, we had RGB thrust.
- 42:20Yeah, for sure, green, anyway, yeah.
- 42:25When do we expect a super-heavy hop?
- 42:28Oh, that's that's good. That's a good one.
- 42:33Very good question. We're not sure.
- 42:36We're not sure yet but we do have a picture.
- 42:40Yeah, we do have some super heavy news for you that again
- 42:46from RGV aerial photos on Twitter.
- 42:51Let me bring this up for you guys.
- 42:53This is this is really, really big.
- 42:59Well yeah, this it's also really big.
- 43:02It's a pretty big rocket but look at that.
- 43:06Super heavy stack. Beautiful.
- 43:11There's people look at how small those people are.
- 43:13These people, these are people. They're tiny.
- 43:15They're tiny, tiny people. Now I'm not sure whether that's
- 43:21you're looking at two to starships are two super heavy is
- 43:24there or parts of one. Yeah, so we have this this ring
- 43:29down here and then we have these other Rings aggregate reaction.
- 43:32I could just be a stand down there.
- 43:33I'm going to can't even tell right now.
- 43:35Yeah, we're not exactly sure about that.
- 43:38So but there's some super heavy stacking going on which is in
- 43:44sane Yeah, this thing is going to be so huge, so huge, it's
- 43:51going to be so cool when they do a hop for this thing.
- 43:55But that's that's what we have right now, for super heavy.
- 43:59But I mean, they're stacking this right now with the rate
- 44:05that SpaceX goes, let's just kind of speculate a launch time.
- 44:10The launch date, I think. Late January, early February,
- 44:16first two weeks of February, like January 9 and 10 off the
- 44:24ground. And then they might start
- 44:26looking super heavy but super have is going to be a long
- 44:29process as well. You're going to see a lot of
- 44:31asset and five and six type hops first.
- 44:34Yeah, just to make sure that it works.
- 44:36It is going to be, it's huge. So yeah, this thing this thing
- 44:42is absolutely Insanely massive. So when we when this thing
- 44:47actually flies, Oh my gosh, I don't even know.
- 44:51I'm gonna freak out how many Falcon 9 launch is.
- 44:56Did it take until they put people on it?
- 44:59Well, it was at least it was around eight years eight to ten
- 45:01years of launches. So I'm not exactly sure how
- 45:05many, what the launch number was.
- 45:09But let's just equate it to years at this point, unless if
- 45:13us Neil knows anything else about that, but I'm not sure.
- 45:17No, I don't know the exact number.
- 45:19Okay. Yeah, ten years.
- 45:21Yeah. And then we got Ferguson up
- 45:24there. Why adding shielding if he'll on
- 45:25still plans, transpiration 'l, cooling.
- 45:31He said, he's a fan of it and he would love to do that, but it
- 45:36might not be logical quick search here, says it's launched
- 45:39105 times. So, two of those have been
- 45:45humans. Yes, 100 100, 100 like around
- 45:51100. Let's say, around 100.
- 45:53Yeah, so the last lodges, yeah, so that's what they think about
- 45:55Starship to. They want to do 100 launches and
- 45:57then they get people in it. So that's, that's pretty cool.
- 46:01That works. Yeah.
- 46:06So let's say 10 years. Haha, and they want to get to
- 46:08Mars in 2024? Yeah, it is.
- 46:10Certainly a very ambitious schedule for sure.
- 46:13Very much sell. Yeah, but they've got ten years
- 46:16underneath the belt and who knows?
- 46:19Whether we can actually make this happen?
- 46:21Yeah, they have a, they have a ton of experience now.
- 46:24It wasn't like before when they had, you know, Falcon one.
- 46:28And they were I think just throwing praying awful lot of
- 46:32money at this thing now to, yeah, a lot more the fucking
- 46:35night. I got ya.
- 46:36Yeah, because they know. So basically, what he line is,
- 46:39said in the past is that super heavy can replace Falcon 9.
- 46:44It's going to make Falcon, 9, and Falcon, Falcon heavy.
- 46:49They're not going to need to use them anymore, they don't need
- 46:52to, but they still can, of course because they'll have a
- 46:55fleet of them. Okay, nine will have customers
- 46:58still. Yeah.
- 46:58Yeah, I felt really heavy. We'll probably not.
- 47:01Yeah, I think Falcon heavy is going to be phased out because
- 47:03there's, there's really no need for it.
- 47:04When stars Is fully operational going to launch her.
- 47:08Basically the same price and have many times the capacity.
- 47:12Yeah. And you could launching the same
- 47:15price and also you think probably launched numerous
- 47:17customers at the same time. So the probably make more money
- 47:21in the long run. I'm assuming business, you know,
- 47:23in the whole business of space launches.
- 47:25You want to save as much money as you can, so then I guess any
- 47:30business, but space launching especially very expensive for
- 47:34new people out there asking But the launch today or when it's
- 47:36asinine launching, we're not sure when SN is going to launch
- 47:39their just straighten it up in the in the high Bay and they're
- 47:43looking over the damage and assessing that.
- 47:44So it certainly won't be early this week.
- 47:47Perhaps the next week we'll see it on the launch pad and they
- 47:50can start doing some tests. Yes.
- 47:51But we're hoping hope so advice on this.
- 47:54Yeah, thanks for that. There's a falcon 9, super heavy
- 47:57launch from California soon, like February.
- 48:00Can we confirm or deny this. There is a Falcon heavy coming
- 48:07up. Let me let me see if Not sure,
- 48:12exactly which one it is, which flight is?
- 48:15But I'll take a look at it real quick.
- 48:16He's asking when the launch was supposed to be before it tipped
- 48:20me, there were supposed to move. Sn9 to the launch pad today.
- 48:23Did you start doing tests? Yeah, and that would have been a
- 48:25couple of weeks before throughout assume.
- 48:29So the February launch I think has been pushed back to me.
- 48:31That's a space force. Launch space force 44 and it's
- 48:36going to be launching from Kennedy Space Center in.
- 48:39It's a net of May 20 21. Now, so I had to push it back.
- 48:45That being said, you know, it's kind of fluid flight times or
- 48:49fluid, if something happens and they needed to be pushed up for
- 48:52like closer than they could probably figure that out.
- 48:56Due to, you know, according to, you know, launch ability or pad
- 49:02availability and Etc. So if they need it they'll
- 49:05probably they'll probably pushed out to space force things.
- 49:07So they have a lot of have a lot of pull there.
- 49:11So that's that's as you know, that's the one that I know
- 49:13about, but that's that's as much as we know at this point.
- 49:20So yeah we're getting maybe they will skip 2s and 10th are down.
- 49:26Sm9 deck you that's a good that's a good comment.
- 49:33I don't believe they're going to go to SN 10 though because it
- 49:39really depends on the damage. Yeah, that's a good deal.
- 49:42Assess whether anything is structurally been compromised in
- 49:45the tanks? Yeah, I think.
- 49:51I think they're going to really. The you take a really good.
- 49:57Look at sn9 before they make that decision to go straight to
- 50:00a cent in so, but a sentence really close as intense, really
- 50:04cool. Hey, thanks for all the new
- 50:05Subs. By the way, we're going to get a
- 50:07ton of stuff today. So we appreciate all the
- 50:09support. Almost 50,000 is M so being hung
- 50:15up by that crane. So yeah, they're nowhere near
- 50:18putting it on a new newsstand or anything like that.
- 50:21We're still a ways away. Yep.
- 50:24Still a ways away. We have we have tons of tons of
- 50:27time to figure it out. You know.
- 50:29They don't need to rush this thing.
- 50:31I mean they kind of do but the kind of dog they want to make
- 50:33that 2024, Mars date. They need to rush these things,
- 50:37but they also be very safe because an explosion on the pad.
- 50:41It's very in a especially before liftoff they don't get much data
- 50:46from that, right? So they have to make sure that
- 50:48they launch something because that's Edith has already
- 50:50launched. They've already been through
- 50:51that process so they want to give it up to apogee belly flop.
- 50:55It get it down. They want to land it.
- 50:57So getting to that point, you know, to launch something is
- 51:02important. So scrub the sn9 move on to SN
- 51:0610 if sn9 is broken too bad then that makes sense, you know?
- 51:11I've got a question from naoki Pink.
- 51:13Sorry if I butchered your name. Why did sn9 tip over?
- 51:17Anyways, let me see if I can find that graph or find that
- 51:21image. Again, one of these guys over
- 51:25here. We're on it.
- 51:28We're on it earlier. And I want to show you this
- 51:30graph or this image, Make sure I get the right one here.
- 51:41So, we have this image of Elan. Oh wait, not that one.
- 51:46There's a different image that you want that the one with his
- 51:48arms raised that the one that it's at.
- 51:51Yeah, this one right here, you can see you so much. $20 is why
- 51:55we just thank you. So, we went to, we went into
- 52:00this a little bit earlier, but this area right here, look at
- 52:05this, there's a bunch of Steel role of seal right here,
- 52:08attached to the stand, right? And they were installing, we
- 52:13believe they were installing the engines right through this
- 52:17basically, through this hole right here, like, through this
- 52:20whole they were, you know, they were installing the engines
- 52:22through this area right here and they had a counterweight it with
- 52:25these with these roles of Steel. With chains on them.
- 52:28So they chained rolls of Steel to the to the mount.
- 52:34And they were kind of like counterbalancing it and you
- 52:37know, that's that's as much as we know.
- 52:39And then it failed we believe because this area was open and
- 52:43it wasn't structurally supporting we're speculating.
- 52:50So but that's what we think. That's what we think.
- 52:55Yeah. Hey thanks for all those new
- 52:57Subs, everybody. Dave Browning so many.
- 53:00Yeah everybody. Thank you so much.
- 53:01Run a sub train here. Jeez.
- 53:04What are your thoughts on Starship Factory says SS?
- 53:08I know it's a long time off, but do you have any thoughts about
- 53:10location sighs? How long it would take?
- 53:16Like a factory factory. Like like there's actually build
- 53:20the machines that build the machines.
- 53:22Oh wow. Ten years from now.
- 53:27I think somewhere around there. Yeah, I think so.
- 53:32I think we'll just crank them out.
- 53:34Yeah. And I think that we'll see at
- 53:37various stages of orbit, and transit to Mars.
- 53:40And one night, you're going to see hundreds of Starships,
- 53:42eventually. Yeah, it various places.
- 53:45Yeah, launching every hour is Elon, wants it.
- 53:48Yep. Well thanks for the onslaught of
- 53:52Subs there. Thank you as much.
- 53:54Yeah. You think five years.
- 53:56Me two things, five years that they'll have a factory Starship
- 54:00Factory that basically like an assembly line kind of factory
- 54:03where they make like how they make a car, right?
- 54:05So that's what we're talking about, you know, an assembly
- 54:08line where they make, they just make hundreds of Starships.
- 54:11That's going to be expensive. It's going to be an expensive
- 54:14process. To build the factory.
- 54:16But it's also going to be an expensive process to build a
- 54:19Starship like that many Starships.
- 54:21Yeah, they won't have a factory built, until they know exactly
- 54:23what the pocket looks like, and how it's going to be built.
- 54:26Yeah, that's a long way off for still.
- 54:27In testing phases here, earliest testing phases.
- 54:31So there's a long way off. I five years is very ambitious
- 54:34for sure. Yeah, that's really ambitious
- 54:36and it's gonna take a long time to build a factory to yeah.
- 54:39In five years will hopefully be launching to Mars ish.
- 54:45Yeah, you know, so if he's saying two to four years, to
- 54:50start launching the Mars, they may need this Factory by then
- 54:53they're not going to send two rockets to Mars.
- 54:55Are going to send several to, to make that there's enough support
- 55:00there when humans go. Yeah.
- 55:03Yeah. Huh.
- 55:03Boots is asking, have they cleared the crash site from sn8
- 55:08or they still investigating? A little bit of both the still
- 55:13working on it. There's a lot of debris so it's
- 55:15definitely still there. Yeah, it's still there.
- 55:18They're clearing it happen. Turning it off and trucks and
- 55:20what not, but it's definitely not there.
- 55:22Still. Yep, they do have a just looking
- 55:25at lap Padre stream. Right now, there's a crane there
- 55:27now that probably is going to be used to carry away some of the
- 55:30larger stuff and they're building a larger crane as well.
- 55:33A new red larger crane. I'm not sure what that's going
- 55:37to be useful. I mean Super heavy is big.
- 55:40So maybe four maybe for moving the whole thing.
- 55:45I heard that the Ukraine can go 70 meters which should be large
- 55:48enough. Yeah that's big.
- 55:51That's a big train only count. Daniel Sutton says a billion.
- 55:56Starlink customers at $50 a month is a lot of money to make
- 55:59Starships. Yes sure is.
- 56:02Yeah start link is going to be one of the things that they're
- 56:04used for future future funding, for all the future projects.
- 56:10So what Starship is built? You know you kind of go.
- 56:14Okay, so what's next Superstar ship?
- 56:17Extra big Starship extra large, super extra heavy.
- 56:21Yeah. Max you put four boosters on
- 56:24instead of one, you know, how do you do that?
- 56:26Like, what do you what do you do at that point?
- 56:29Also date. A Peter sense.
- 56:30What you do? Also, if you could tag me in the
- 56:33questions, that's really going to be helpful at space news pod,
- 56:38it's really helpful. I can, it's For Super Chat.
- 56:41That's helpful to super-heavy excel, there's guide, right?
- 56:45Pilot skydiver says, or asks going by how phenomenally SN /
- 56:49SM, 8 performed, what are your new personal ads for sn9,
- 56:52succeeding, where sn8 failed eighty percent eighty really
- 56:58Okay, so you think about full complete flight almost, there's
- 57:02a twenty percent failure rate you think 80% I'm a little bit
- 57:08skeptical. I'm still before the last one
- 57:11sna I was at about 20% that it was going to land and completely
- 57:16like complete the mission right land and not you know landed a
- 57:20fireball Now I'm I'm more the camp of 50%.
- 57:26I'm very skeptical that it's going to land perfectly but I
- 57:32wanted to land very close. They were very close.
- 57:38Yeah. But they just need to ignite
- 57:39that last booster. And you know, that was that was
- 57:43the I think that was the only failure really is like the
- 57:46readmission, very trying to launch off or relayed?
- 57:49All three. I think they might have been
- 57:50trying to land with two. Ooh, and then they read pressure
- 57:53in the header tanks. I don't think that at 42 was
- 57:55supposed to relaunch free reignite.
- 57:58Really. Okay.
- 57:59I'm wrong. But again, I think they're just
- 58:01with three of them going at once.
- 58:03I think there's probably too much thrust and they probably
- 58:05can't make enough to land that may be.
- 58:10Yeah I mean it does make sense. So 42 even though we loved 42,
- 58:17you know, rip in peace engine 42 its job.
- 58:21Often have to do anymore that his or her job, their job, their
- 58:24job, anything. But Syria says, what do you
- 58:28think? They'll be using the lift
- 58:30Starship on to super-heavy some sort of Mega cream movie?
- 58:33Yes, the mega crane. That's 70.
- 58:36M. Crane.
- 58:37I think that's what they're doing.
- 58:39Yeah. And we've got we've got the
- 58:43super heavy launch pad being built as well.
- 58:45Nothing's changed since they've really put the concrete into the
- 58:49tubes but I think They might just build a permanent in place
- 58:53crane at that point, right? Beside it.
- 58:56A chart. Thanks so much for that
- 58:58membership. Receipt that really doesn't buy
- 59:00the channel when people become members.
- 59:04Raptor, 69. Nice.
- 59:10Yeah. So so we're not sure you know
- 59:13we're not sure when they're going to stack this thing up on
- 59:15super heavy but it's looking it's looking, I don't know.
- 59:21Mid-next year. Do you think?
- 59:22They'll stack it up? I'm being optimistic.
- 59:25Oh my goodness. Mid-next year.
- 59:28I get my whole body tingles when I that's going to be just
- 59:34incredible. It was Wednesday announced.
- 59:40You guys at Texas? I'll be there this covid XT and
- 59:44come soon enough, really? Yeah, that's, I'm waiting.
- 59:47Okay, so how 10 a 1028 says how how big will the refueling Fleet
- 59:54for Starships? Need to be to get one Starship
- 59:56to Mars. I think they only need to refuel
- 59:59once in orbit now, they'll launch it refill in orbit and
- 1:00:03then on their way. Yep.
- 1:00:06But now that being said, how many starships are going to go
- 1:00:09to Mars the first time they're probably going to, I don't know.
- 1:00:13Okay, chat let's ask this chat. How many Starships do you think?
- 1:00:15They'll send a Mars for the first mission?
- 1:00:19Give me a number. Give me a number.
- 1:00:20What do you think it has? No humans on it though.
- 1:00:24Humans there's gonna be no humans.
- 1:00:26We got the fours. We got the threes one so look
- 1:00:28how okay, this is going to be the Scoobies, spammer rific.
- 1:00:31Okay, we got a bunch of numbers 1 3 5 6 9 3, we got a bunch of
- 1:00:37Threes bunch of fives as much as I can tell.
- 1:00:39I'm going to get I'm going to get vertigo from trying to read
- 1:00:42all this 420 says it's Aunt. Okay we got 12 12 Starships, 12
- 1:00:5013 There's a lot of 420 420 Starships in the First Fleet
- 1:00:552020. Wow there you go. 69 has 420.
- 1:00:59That's a lot of Starships. Three Robotics and Advanced
- 1:01:06Equipment, okay? So you think it's going to be a
- 1:01:07robotic flight think is going to be a robo flight, okay, over
- 1:01:11similar equipment to land on Mars.
- 1:01:16Greg Smith consensus average 4.75 Greg.
- 1:01:20Yes that thank you very much. It's pretty close, pretty close
- 1:01:23and kid personally, I think they're going to be somewhere
- 1:01:26near 10 Really first flight. First flight to Mars.
- 1:01:31Yeah, they're not going to, they're not going to do this
- 1:01:33halfway. Let's look, they're expected to
- 1:01:35lose a couple on the way. Yeah.
- 1:01:37Whether they lose it on in transit or whether they lose it
- 1:01:40during Landing, they want to have duplicate redundant
- 1:01:44equipment and I think that they'll have extra I think
- 1:01:49they'll have you think you're going to send 10?
- 1:01:51No, that's a lot. That's a lot of Starships but
- 1:01:54maybe I mean so we're gonna have to figure out that it is too if
- 1:01:59it's two years from now, maybe not if it's for you I think so.
- 1:02:02Yeah I mean if it's four years from now and they decide to send
- 1:02:05stuff to Mars in between now and then they're going to have oh my
- 1:02:09God I can't I need to move to Texas man.
- 1:02:11I need the moved to Boca Chica area.
- 1:02:14I need a bit of moved to Brownsville because I just want
- 1:02:16to see this stuff stuff house in Florida and I have some book
- 1:02:21chica. Yeah, I need a house by NASA.
- 1:02:24I need a thousand in Brownsville.
- 1:02:27Anybody want to donate a house or two houses?
- 1:02:32That would be amazing. So, yeah, by the time they
- 1:02:34launched this thing, it's going to be absolutely Like this
- 1:02:40isn't, I just want to reiterate, like I've said this a bunch of
- 1:02:43times, but this isn't just like changing the space industry,
- 1:02:49right? This is literally changing
- 1:02:51Humanity. Like Elon Musk is literally
- 1:02:55trying to change Humanity by making super heavy Starship and
- 1:03:01making life multiplanetary because we've been to the Moon.
- 1:03:07You know, we are here on Earth. But humans have never set foot
- 1:03:11on another planet so him as a private space company, you know,
- 1:03:17Ilan and SpaceX. They move forward with these
- 1:03:21plans and it changes Humanity. People can go to other places in
- 1:03:26the solar system whenever they want to, if they have the money,
- 1:03:29they can go. So it's we're not going to be
- 1:03:31stuck on Earth anymore. so, and really Really sensitive with us.
- 1:03:39He's trying to save Humanity. Yeah, from itself, yeah, a
- 1:03:43little bit. Yeah, but I mean, Rockets would
- 1:03:45be here at 9:00 will launch. We don't know when exactly when
- 1:03:48SN is going to launch has been a setback, of course, it with the
- 1:03:51damage when it fell over, and we'll have to fix that, fix that
- 1:03:53assess, that and get back on track.
- 1:03:58It was supposed to go to the launch pad today.
- 1:04:00Speculative speaking, but that's not going to happen.
- 1:04:03So they're moving forward with a new plan.
- 1:04:05We just know that is. Yeah, we're working on it.
- 1:04:08We're trying to figure it out. S'mores official.
- 1:04:11We go. By is road closures at this
- 1:04:14point. Yeah, pretty much Iceberg.
- 1:04:17Thanks for that new sub. Appreciate everybody's do subs.
- 1:04:19Today we're getting blasted by Subs.
- 1:04:22So thank you so much. Yeah, appreciates your support,
- 1:04:26s'mores officials has. I will go to visit Mars but not
- 1:04:29live there. Yeah, I'm in the same boat if I
- 1:04:32can I will if I'm if they allowed trip, it's a long trip
- 1:04:38and if I'm in shape weights it comes down to that like if I'm
- 1:04:42in good shape to go to Mars and I have the money to do it, I
- 1:04:46will go. I'll go to Mars as long as I get
- 1:04:48to come back. I'm ready.
- 1:04:54I don't know that. I want to go to Mars, but I'll
- 1:04:56go to the moon, for sure. Yeah.
- 1:04:57Moon will be fun. That would be a fun trip
- 1:05:01terrifying but fun, her skin is asking just a comment.
- 1:05:05I guess I've already predicted that Starship.
- 1:05:07And super-heavy will officially make the first launch at the end
- 1:05:10of next year. That is ambitious.
- 1:05:13Full stack in. Do full stack next year.
- 1:05:16Holy cow. Yeah, that's crazy.
- 1:05:20Why not live on Twitch? Sergeant Glatz class.
- 1:05:24Don't know last name, we're live on Twitch every Tuesday at noon.
- 1:05:27So check that out on Twitch. Space news pot onto issue.
- 1:05:31If you're a gamer Etc, we do different shows on Twitch then
- 1:05:34we do over here. It's similar, but a little bit
- 1:05:36different. We play games too.
- 1:05:37So that's fun. You are already too old for that
- 1:05:42project, maybe your children, you never know.
- 1:05:45I mean, in the Research. I've been doing for some of our
- 1:05:49upcoming videos, I found out that they like old astronauts
- 1:05:53because the radiation doesn't affect them long-term, so why
- 1:05:57they don't have a long-term to be affected by the radiation.
- 1:05:59Let's put it that way. That's horrible.
- 1:06:02But also this true, you know, it's true.
- 1:06:04If the true. Yeah, that's the risk of
- 1:06:07spaceflight, you know, a lot of radiation on your way to and
- 1:06:11from Mars. So got is only so much
- 1:06:13radiation. You're allowing your lifetime
- 1:06:14and it's older that answer are preferred because They don't
- 1:06:18have as much life time left, so they can absorb more radiation
- 1:06:20now. Yeah, Kevin Tran says, what is
- 1:06:23your opinion about Virgin? Galactic my opinion about Virgin
- 1:06:29Galactic is that? It's awesome and I can't wait
- 1:06:32for it to work, you know, the latest scrubbed mission is just
- 1:06:37a minor setback. No big deal.
- 1:06:40They'll launch again and they will eventually send humans to
- 1:06:45the outer edge of space. And I think any sort of people
- 1:06:50in space is a good idea. Except for, I want to start Trek
- 1:06:54future though. I don't want a warring Star Wars
- 1:06:56future. So anybody that's peaceful, it
- 1:06:59would be great. If all of these companies talk
- 1:07:01to each other and share their War Stories and help each other
- 1:07:06out, help each other get to their goals because it's the
- 1:07:09only way we're going to propel the entire industry.
- 1:07:12Yep. Tikis.
- 1:07:14Everyone asks should should by Elon should buy Boston Dynamics
- 1:07:19out and use their robots for advanced Martian infrastructure
- 1:07:22development. Yeah, that's certainly that's an
- 1:07:27option for sure. I think Boston Dynamics.
- 1:07:29Isn't that associated with? Is it Harvard?
- 1:07:32I think they just got bought out by somebody actually.
- 1:07:34I think it's old. Yeah, I think they soldiers who
- 1:07:39I think it's a car manufacturer. I'm not sure though.
- 1:07:42Oh, by the way, if you guys haven't seen this yet, little
- 1:07:47little side little side note here.
- 1:07:49This is scrubby scrubby. The rocket engineer / wizard
- 1:07:56Chihuahua. She makes an appearance every
- 1:07:59once in a while on the show and we asked her questions,
- 1:08:02probably, but her actual name Scrappy.
- 1:08:04Yeah, they sold the Hyundai. Okay.
- 1:08:06Thanks Ben appreciate that. We asked her questions and
- 1:08:11usually she doesn't like Jeff Bezos.
- 1:08:13So let's do that real quick. I got it.
- 1:08:15I got to see if she likes Jeff Bezos today.
- 1:08:16See congratulated SpaceX on the rest and eat Scrappy one lick if
- 1:08:22you like Jeff Bezos to licks if you didn't like Jeff Bezos.
- 1:08:27And Go. And go.
- 1:08:36She has no Apache. Has no opinion on Jeff today.
- 1:08:39All right you gotta get down like you know I didn't like Jeff
- 1:08:42before but now now he's congratulate SpaceX will maybe
- 1:08:45he's back, maybe he's not, maybe it's not that bad of a guy.
- 1:08:50She's like welcome she's not Sean John wlwt's asking what
- 1:08:56Raptor iteration of the currently at.
- 1:08:58Whoo good question. I'm not sure.
- 1:09:00Yeah it's going to be probably in the 50s.
- 1:09:02I would think Who knows what they're building in Hawthorne.
- 1:09:04Yeah. Have you heard of momentous that
- 1:09:09merged and will work with SpaceX?
- 1:09:12And I have not heard of them? Momentous off to look.
- 1:09:15I do it. I wasn't sure if they didn't
- 1:09:19hear about any merger. I'll take a look at it though.
- 1:09:25Let's see here, but thanks devs. Appreciate that.
- 1:09:28Appreciate the little puppy. Thanks for the Super Chat, Super
- 1:09:31Chat super stickers, help the show with ton.
- 1:09:33So thanks so much. For those everybody who's helped
- 1:09:36with the show today, Andre Arash Arash.
- 1:09:40Sorry and charred and Deb's. So far have helped out with
- 1:09:44super chats and super stickers. So thank you so much for that.
- 1:09:47Do appreciate that. Sorry, we go just punched my
- 1:09:50microphone and accident. And violet sky diver says, how
- 1:09:55long will it be? Until lunar Starship starts its
- 1:09:58test campaign with its side mounted engines.
- 1:10:00And space-age, crew quarters, whoo.
- 1:10:04Starship this thing right here. Oh, by the way, we're sponsored
- 1:10:08by bohemes. Oh, and they do all these all
- 1:10:10these models, bohemes OBO hims, oh, and they're on Etsy, check
- 1:10:14them out. Really good quality stuff.
- 1:10:17So this is the lunar Starship that they make and yet the site
- 1:10:22engines these, These mounted engines here that's to not use
- 1:10:27as much of the Raptors on the bottom because they need to slow
- 1:10:30down on the surface of the Moon. But they don't want to kick up a
- 1:10:32lot of dust and stuff. So so side mounted engines.
- 1:10:37When will they start that campaign?
- 1:10:44Let's see. Two years.
- 1:10:49I mean, I think they'll, they've already kind of started it.
- 1:10:51During with all these, I think they want to see what NASA comes
- 1:10:55up with. Yeah, there's any money coming
- 1:10:57from them and if not, then they will move on in their own,
- 1:11:00probably at plans I think. Yeah, I think so too.
- 1:11:03I'm going to post a link in chat to the bow him so store, make
- 1:11:07sure that leave them a note and say this space news pod sent you
- 1:11:10along because it helps out a ton but on the and there's just
- 1:11:15super good. People to does super good
- 1:11:18people. Another Super Chat from a rash.
- 1:11:21Thank you very much for not calling me a rash.
- 1:11:27You're welcome, thanks for that, appreciate that.
- 1:11:32What do you think? Start?
- 1:11:33The first Starships will carry Demars.
- 1:11:35Kyle cut through. That's a really great question.
- 1:11:42That's supplies supplies for people think that's what they're
- 1:11:47going to be bringing the first time anything.
- 1:11:49Anything remotely related to life support on Mars?
- 1:11:54I would think they're going to be robots.
- 1:11:56It's going to be supplies, there's going to be even Rovers.
- 1:12:00Probably there's going to be anything that they might need to
- 1:12:03do. Be obviously some power
- 1:12:07generation of some kind solar panels or whatever happens.
- 1:12:11To be and there's going to be some way to store that energy
- 1:12:13and it probably actually start making fuel almost immediately
- 1:12:17as soon as I can, they'll start producing fuel to come back.
- 1:12:21Yep. Yeah.
- 1:12:23And you know, they're, they're maybe Rovers people might buy
- 1:12:27time on might buy space on a Starship that's going to Mars,
- 1:12:31somebody like, you know, somebody like NASA, might buy
- 1:12:34some space on this flight, they might send, you know, a
- 1:12:38prototype Rover or something like that.
- 1:12:40Tomorrow's to see if Starship can actually take their take
- 1:12:44their cargo safely to Mars, or they may just send like a big
- 1:12:50block of bricks, who knows, but mostly most of the, you know,
- 1:12:54like they might send a Tesla but probably not.
- 1:12:58But yeah, I think it's going to be sized stuff in those in those
- 1:13:01star ships from all kinds of companies.
- 1:13:04Yeah it's good, huge conglomerate of of different
- 1:13:08Technologies. Different people, coming
- 1:13:10together to make this happen. Ian.
- 1:13:13Yeah, Dougal says any interest go ahead so I cut you off.
- 1:13:17It won't just be SpaceX as what I mean.
- 1:13:19Yeah yeah I agree with that. Any interesting job openings at
- 1:13:22SpaceX that might hint at their plans, perhaps an offshore
- 1:13:25launch and landing pad. There have been.
- 1:13:28There are some listings, there are some job listings.
- 1:13:31I know it's SpaceX for people that are working on offshore
- 1:13:37rigs, right? So we kind of came up with an
- 1:13:40idea or a size. It basically three oil rigs kind
- 1:13:45of stuck together, is what they're going to need to do the
- 1:13:49super heavy, the super-heavy like full Starship launch.
- 1:13:52So that's a, that's a big, big job.
- 1:13:56So those logistical people there's welders offshore welders
- 1:14:01you know under underwater welder is ETC.
- 1:14:03I don't know the correct terms for these things so you know
- 1:14:08that's what we've seen so far though.
- 1:14:11If you have any of these skills, any engineering, or welding or
- 1:14:15electrical, or anything like this, any of these skills and
- 1:14:18you're interested in SpaceX apply.
- 1:14:22They're hiring people constantly.
- 1:14:24Yeah. And they want the best people.
- 1:14:25So if you're good at what you do, if you're really good at
- 1:14:28what you do, apply to SpaceX, they and if you don't have a
- 1:14:32degree, they don't care. As long as you can do the job.
- 1:14:34Yep. Long, as you got proven track
- 1:14:36record of being awesome. Yep.
- 1:14:38Just like Gardens asking anybody why would they put Put a header
- 1:14:41tank with top of the nose cone. I have to know that.
- 1:14:44So, I'll jump on that one. They put the header up there to
- 1:14:47offset the weight of everything on the bottom.
- 1:14:49So there's a little bit more weight of the top of the of the
- 1:14:51ship. Yep, Violet sky diver says, do
- 1:14:56you think lunar Starship is a purely, Artemis offshoot,
- 1:14:59Starship or will SpaceX continuous development?
- 1:15:02Even if they are not chosen as the Artemis hls.
- 1:15:05I think they'll just skip the moon, if they're not chosen.
- 1:15:08I think they'll just be like, whatever.
- 1:15:10And just go to Mars because I agree with you.
- 1:15:13There's no reason to really no real reason to watch.
- 1:15:17Anything doesn't look to me, like the putting a lot of effort
- 1:15:19into it, to be honest with you either they just have a nose
- 1:15:21cone. That's painted at this point.
- 1:15:23Yeah. You know, and it looks cool.
- 1:15:25They didn't do a full mock-up or anything like that, though.
- 1:15:27The full mock-up would be expensive and huge but it would
- 1:15:31be pretty cool to have a lunar Starship.
- 1:15:33I think that'd be really neat, but who knows?
- 1:15:38Who knows. S, n, 10 orbital.
- 1:15:40No, I don't think so yet. I don't think you're going to go
- 1:15:42I sent over, but all I wish, but I can't do this.
- 1:15:46Listen, 89, to be honest. Yeah, I think up to Probably 15.
- 1:15:52I think they're going to be doing the short.
- 1:15:54Well, not even short but yeah, I'm okay.
- 1:15:57Okay, pushing up and up the other way.
- 1:15:59They're getting a lot of details out of 12 and a half kilometers.
- 1:16:02Not going to get a lot more out of 15 or even 30.
- 1:16:04Yeah, yeah. Just kind of, you know, it's not
- 1:16:07that it really isn't that much further like between 12 and a
- 1:16:10half to 15. They'll probably bump it up to
- 1:16:1215 for sn9 maybe. I don't know.
- 1:16:16But they might have, they might want to make sure that they can
- 1:16:19land it to 0.5. Before, you know, make sure that
- 1:16:24the engines are ignited and everything.
- 1:16:26You know, the pressure is proper and Etc.
- 1:16:28So, yes antenna, as a 10 orbital.
- 1:16:33No, I don't think that's going to have.
- 1:16:34That would be cool but that's a little bit too fast for SpaceX.
- 1:16:41Sam Powell asked why is Mars better than the moon for SpaceX?
- 1:16:45Is it just for them to try and be the first to get there by
- 1:16:49Brink? Also, thank you so much for
- 1:16:51that. So a chat.
- 1:16:52Appreciate that. Yeah.
- 1:16:55Bob's are really, really good supporter this Channel and a
- 1:16:59member of the channel for a long time.
- 1:17:00So thanks Bob. Appreciate that, man.
- 1:17:02Thanks for your support. Why is Mars better in the mood
- 1:17:05for SpaceX? It's bigger.
- 1:17:07It's just go go fast. Fast Break Stuff, get some stuff
- 1:17:10done. You know it's a it's a big goal.
- 1:17:13I think it's a human goal as opposed to like we've been to
- 1:17:15the Moon before we want to set up a civilization up there, some
- 1:17:20basis up there but also why not? Like that's the question that
- 1:17:24you always have to ask is like, why not when I do it.
- 1:17:29Is lot to learn from Mars, for sure.
- 1:17:32Last prayer, 3:16 Says, momentous will basically be able
- 1:17:36to repair satellites will be able to move satellites to
- 1:17:38specific locations. If wanted the way they will fix.
- 1:17:41The satellites will be with a robotic arm.
- 1:17:43That's interesting. So, do you think momentous and
- 1:17:47SpaceX working together? Do you think they're going to be
- 1:17:48repairing starlink maybe maybe have like because end-of-life
- 1:17:54start like now they just deorbit them and they burn up and like
- 1:17:57there. No, big deal.
- 1:17:58Do you think they might use it for repair of Starlet question?
- 1:18:01It's a very good question. I don't know that.
- 1:18:03I don't know that it's startling, could be worth
- 1:18:05repairing. I think that they probably just
- 1:18:06deorbited and put another one up there.
- 1:18:08Probably yeah, yeah. It's kind of like an assembly
- 1:18:10line now. They just they have tons of
- 1:18:12these things. Satellite that sweater the size
- 1:18:16of a dinner table kind of thing. Yeah, we just deorbit it and
- 1:18:20start another one is my idea, but but it's interesting that
- 1:18:25they could theoretically The cathedral could do a James Bond
- 1:18:29on these Satellites with with Starship, right and come up to
- 1:18:32them and sort of just totally grabbed them and put them inside
- 1:18:35the bay and fix them in there perhaps.
- 1:18:38Yep. Yeah.
- 1:18:39I mean, I don't know if they would waste the time.
- 1:18:42I don't think they waste their money on start, starlink because
- 1:18:46they could probably make one cheaper than they could make in
- 1:18:49launch one cheaper than they could actually repair it.
- 1:18:52So, I mean, it might be cool for something like Mars, you know,
- 1:18:56like Mars repair There's because they're going to probably do a
- 1:18:59star links. A similar starlink system on
- 1:19:01Mars. So yeah.
- 1:19:05So the maybe maybe that's for that.
- 1:19:08I don't know where we'll find out though.
- 1:19:10Angry astronaut the angry astronaut.
- 1:19:12Hey, what's up man? Anger is not.
- 1:19:17What's the closest launch date were thinking?
- 1:19:21A week or two it's going to go out to the pad, probably early
- 1:19:25maybe by maybe by the end of this week, if all is good with
- 1:19:32sm9 we're speculating here. So we're not sure because we
- 1:19:35don't know when or we didn't know.
- 1:19:37We don't know exactly what happened to us at 9:00 yet.
- 1:19:40You know what's the structural Integrity of the ship?
- 1:19:43So would be cool though if they get it out there by the end of
- 1:19:47the week. Did you hear about blue origin,
- 1:19:51moon lander. It's like Lander from 1970.
- 1:19:56Like you. It's like you just summoned the
- 1:19:58angry astronaut to our Channel with those.
- 1:20:08I think you're doing something and it's not just blue origin,
- 1:20:11that's a combination of diff three different companies for
- 1:20:13that one and they're just doing what works, they know it works.
- 1:20:16And they're sticking with it. Yep.
- 1:20:19It's a different way of doing it, you know, it's the same way
- 1:20:21too but it's it works Trident really works.
- 1:20:27Yeah, so thanks also, thanks for all the new subscribers today,
- 1:20:30by the way. Is it feasible to use Starship
- 1:20:35to retrieve Hubble and bring it back to Earth?
- 1:20:41I mean I probably can but I don't know why you would want to
- 1:20:43bring Hubble back and probably use that merger that they just
- 1:20:47stand with and try and fix it. Yeah, oh yeah, get a little
- 1:20:50robot up there. Fix it up.
- 1:20:52I mean, You bring it back to Earth or you decommission.
- 1:20:56And I mean we're going to have James Webb soon.
- 1:20:59Hopefully next couple years, it's a little bit different than
- 1:21:03Hubble, but we're going to get some really great views from
- 1:21:06James Webb. So maybe maybe move forward
- 1:21:11instead of fixing up old Tech. Oh man, cater taught gaming.
- 1:21:17Hello? Hello.
- 1:21:18Kitty, Cat gaming. Let's see what's going on.
- 1:21:23Favorite Forum to discuss this sort of stuff.
- 1:21:25Thanks, Neal. And melt toothpicks Kyle
- 1:21:28appreciate that. Yeah.
- 1:21:31And hip are going to sit down and talk about Titan.
- 1:21:35Oh yeah. That'll be fun.
- 1:21:38That would be fun. The 10-meter ladder angry.
- 1:21:43Oh man, that is I hate that. I hate ladders on the moon,
- 1:21:52Percy 10-meter letters and your ladder.
- 1:21:54Yeah. That that was one of the things
- 1:21:56I was like, wait one of the reasons for that is to make sure
- 1:22:00all the dust gets kicked off the boots before they get out into
- 1:22:03the capsule. Yes, pretty funny.
- 1:22:05Yeah. They say it's safer for the
- 1:22:07people and I'm like yeah it's not really safe to fall off a
- 1:22:1010-meter ladder. Yeah, and you're going to be
- 1:22:13strapped on and, you know, of course, you know you safety
- 1:22:16precautions etcetera, but still the centimeters up and that is a
- 1:22:19huge, huge climb for an astronaut that she's like when
- 1:22:23you just make it to the Moody don't want to climb down a
- 1:22:25ladder to like that man. Yeah, it's something else.
- 1:22:32The letters for exercise. Yeah.
- 1:22:35Keep some keep them in shape. Man terrible Chris says, Kerbal
- 1:22:42taught me. You don't need a long ladder.
- 1:22:44Yeah, you did. Yeah, you don't need a long.
- 1:22:46Well, mainly because my Kerbal is taught me that I don't need a
- 1:22:50ladder because most of my carbons end up exploded.
- 1:22:53So you don't really matter if it's pretty brain stuff right
- 1:22:57there. Yeah, Lottery.
- 1:22:58Don't make it to the moon. Yeah, I'll never make it there.
- 1:23:00I'll never make it. So I don't need a ladder.
- 1:23:02Never put one on my ships. Okay, so when okay.
- 1:23:08So Paul Godfrey says, when I assess retires, do you think
- 1:23:11Starship version will build the Next Generation space station?
- 1:23:16Who That's a, I think that Starship will do anything that
- 1:23:24gets them money. So if NASA wants to pay for a
- 1:23:26new gen, Next Generation space station, they were up for it or
- 1:23:30if if the next version of a sort of commercial space station,
- 1:23:34wants somebody to get it up there.
- 1:23:36They will definitely be there with bells on.
- 1:23:38Oh yeah. Yeah.
- 1:23:39And it's going to be big enough to do the, to do the job to.
- 1:23:43They're going to go with the money's.
- 1:23:45Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's not like NASA, like
- 1:23:48they're not taking It's dollars directly so they don't they just
- 1:23:52do whatever they want. Whatever they can make money
- 1:23:54from. Yeah, I think I think the, I
- 1:24:01think we use the thrusters on the moon.
- 1:24:06That would be fun. Sounds dangerous than a ladder
- 1:24:09little bit more dangerous. Yeah, I agree with you.
- 1:24:11Now the you can't hold on to anything.
- 1:24:15You might fly fly out of the Moon looks like way.
- 1:24:18If something goes wrong, just keep jettison like just jet keep
- 1:24:22getting and just fly away. As opposed to a ladder where you
- 1:24:27just kind of hold on to it. And that that is a big ladder,
- 1:24:30dude, that's going to get me going.
- 1:24:33Every astronaut has a great, great video about that on the
- 1:24:37channel. So check out the channel angry
- 1:24:39astronauts channel. It's a little different take
- 1:24:41than ours, but it's pretty cool. I'd like it, I watch them all
- 1:24:45and I laughed the whole time in a good way.
- 1:24:49And I like, oh yeah, I didn't think about that kind of way.
- 1:24:55Starship can replace the ISS. I don't know if it'll replace
- 1:24:59it. I think it's a it's a different
- 1:25:02thing. Maybe if you put a bunch of
- 1:25:06Starships, together, it can make its own space station.
- 1:25:11But I don't think it's gonna replace the space station.
- 1:25:14Yeah, they've got plans to add to the space station as it is
- 1:25:19right now that are going to be commercial.
- 1:25:24Additions, I guess is what you want call Axiom, space is going
- 1:25:27to be building those, they've got a sort of a plan to build
- 1:25:30three or four new modules, for the space station.
- 1:25:32And the idea is that eventually those modules might separate
- 1:25:35from the ISS when they decommission it and become their
- 1:25:38own space station along with other things.
- 1:25:41So the ISS is slowly but surely moving towards a commercial
- 1:25:45Venture. Yeah, one of these days.

- 1:26:40Uh, petunias Just pop into existence above above a planet
- 1:26:45and they have a funny exchange, well, that the whale was talking
- 1:26:50to itself, trying to figure out what it is and what's going on.
- 1:26:53And at the end tries to make friends with the ground, it
- 1:26:57doesn't go so well form. But after the whales done all of
- 1:27:02his, his talking, the pot of Junior says, oh no, not again,
- 1:27:08he's been through this before. So, we're exchanging the sperm
