And today, Elon Musk little bit of little bit of news, little
1:05
bit of 9.2 percent. By on Twitter, it's almost 10
1:10
percent and we can talk about that.
1:12
We're going to be talking about the wet dress rehearsal for the
1:15
SLS. We're going to be talking about
1:16
booster, 74, Starship. We're going to be talking a
1:20
little bit about some stuff going on at Starbase that some
1:24
other people may not have shown you yet.
1:26
There's a little bit of behind-the-scenes stuff.
1:28
There's maybe a A delay for some stuff happening at Starbase that
1:35
we were kind of hoping would happen in the next week or so.
1:39
So the might get pushed back a little bit, so stay tuned for
1:43
that. Thanks everybody for tuning in
1:45
today. What's up Andy?
1:46
What's up, Michael? NASA's continuing with SLS wet
1:49
dress rehearsal after 24-hour reset?
1:52
Yes, yes, I'm excited. I am one of those people, right.
1:57
There's people that are strictly Starship Then there's people
2:00
that are like go NASA go SLS go Artemis they don't care about
2:04
Starship you know and then they make it about blue origin they
2:07
make it about a whole team thing and they'll fight about it and
2:09
I'm like why can't we just have nice things?
2:13
Why can't we have? S LS we can have Starship.
2:17
We can have blue Origins big Rockets.
2:20
We can have all the big Rockets I think that's important.
2:23
I think it's important to have more than one launch provider
2:25
for these things and have more than one version.
2:28
NASA's SLS does cause Has billions of dollars more than
2:31
the others but, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do.
2:34
Right? You know, it's a they create
2:37
jobs, Etc. It's a whole, it's a whole
2:40
thing. We could get into that some
2:41
other time, but right now we have to talk about what's going
2:44
on with the Elan. Because what in the heck is Elon
2:51
doing? What is he doing with Twitter?
2:54
It's kind of funny. What's up Neil?
2:58
You're looking at tan. Thanks for putting in the hours
3:01
in the house. A time.
3:02
I am getting tan. I am like the whitest.
3:05
Like, my skin is so pale and I'm, like, I've been out there
3:08
for the last, like, two or three days and just, like, baking in
3:12
the Sun, and not only is Starbase.
3:13
I've been going to the island and like, hanging out, and
3:15
stuff, and finally, it's coming around.
3:18
So I tan Thai bird and then I tan.
3:21
So, so it's like it's finally coming around.
3:24
So it's pretty fun. It's pretty fun here.
3:26
I actually enjoy it and I'm finally enjoying this.
3:30
On again. Yeah, Elon Musk.
3:33
Mesas investment at Twitter only because over 95% of his
3:36
followers repaid. Twitter, Bots, just being real.
3:39
It's, I mean, we don't know. You know, who knows?
3:43
I mean, we're not the engineers at Twitter, so jet.
3:47
That's what jet Eisen said. Michael Maxie.
3:50
I'm concerned about what delays, with SLS will affect axioms.
3:54
A x1's falcon 9 launch on Wednesday.
3:56
Oh yeah. I'm a little bit concerned about
3:58
that too. Little bit concerned about that
4:01
too. I hope it all works and I hope
4:05
it's hope it's all good, you know.
4:08
But you never know what the SLS stuff because for NASA, that's
4:11
the most important thing right now and the X1 mission is kind
4:15
of it's important. You know for other reasons it's
4:19
a private space flight but also SLS is super important for
4:23
everybody else. If you think about it it's like
4:26
NASA is such a big deal. SLS is Such a big deal for NASA.
4:31
Also for the country to get people back to the Moon.
4:34
That I understand, you know why they might push back other
4:38
launches because SLS is such a huge, huge deal.
4:43
But I am concerned to Michael, and if they keep doing that, you
4:47
know, if they keep pushing things back, it's going to be
4:51
kind of annoying. I mean, if you were going to X
4:53
One participant, like if you're going to be in the Dragon
4:58
capsule, How annoying would that be if they're like, oh yeah,
5:01
you're going to go Wednesday and then they're like, oh wait we
5:05
never mind. Hold on, hold on.
5:06
You were going to make you go Sunday, you know, instead and
5:10
then they're like, oh yeah. By the way, because they keep
5:12
getting pushed back and that's the that's the problem.
5:15
With private spaceflight working with NASA is that NASA stuff
5:19
always takes precedent but they know that going into it too.
5:23
So it's kind of a, you know, it's a thing, you know, that
5:26
they that they sign up for. So, They understand it.
5:30
Passing wind said, bad weather. Wednesday to.
5:34
Yeah, the weather doesn't look very great on there, too.
5:37
So, we'll see what happens with the ax 1 Mission.
5:40
Now, Elon Musk, but 9.2 percent of Twitter.
5:46
So let's talk about that. I want to show you a tweet here.
5:48
Real quick from Elan. This is from March 25th.
5:53
I'll show you this tweet from him.
5:56
Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.
5:59
Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this
6:02
principle? And the consequences of this
6:04
poll will be important. Please vote carefully.
6:07
Two million people voted 2.0, 35 million.
6:13
People voted 70 percent said no, 29.6% said yes, Free Speech,
6:22
it's a private platform. I want to know what you guys
6:24
think about this. This, if it's a private
6:27
platform, should you be able to speak freely, since Twitter is
6:32
the biggest platform where people have the ability to speak
6:37
with each other. So, think about that.
6:39
It's not just, it being a private thing or a public thing.
6:43
It's that it's a, it's a, it's a platform where people speak
6:47
regularly, you know? So there's a I think there's a
6:51
difference to wear. You know, people people kind of
6:55
conflate it into Free Speech, you know, are you allowed to
6:58
say, whatever you want to say, sure?
7:01
But other consequences? Yes, you know, those kind of
7:03
things, but should Elon have bought this stock, or should you
7:08
be, you know, should he have made his own platform?
7:10
It's easier to buy Twitter for him, he has the money, he spent
7:14
billions of dollars getting this.
7:17
There's nothing here, not do nothing with it.
7:20
Yeah. So at this point all so let's
7:22
take it. Let's take a little step.
7:23
Up back here with this 9.2% share that Ilan has has gotten.
7:29
He doesn't have the ability to change a lot right now.
7:34
There's a board of directors. There's other people involved
7:37
that are higher up, you know, he's a stockholder, he bought
7:41
some, he bought some of the company, right?
7:43
So he does have some pull, they'll get me wrong, he does
7:46
have some pulley as a majority pull of the stock, but the the
7:52
fact that he has to go through, People democratically through
7:56
other people to make changes that still a thing.
8:01
So just take that in a into consideration with his
8:05
investment. You know, he's not in charge
8:09
yet, you know, there is a possibility that he just, you
8:12
know, he could buy people out to.
8:13
He could get a majority eventually.
8:15
But right now him and, you know, the other people have to work
8:20
together as opposed to him. Just doing whatever he wants.
8:24
He can't do whatever he wants. Not at this point.
8:27
Greetings earthlings. Greeting Bob.
8:29
What's up? My nigga?
8:30
Substantial is investment in Twitter.
8:32
Micromax has Elon, can say what he thinks about getting
8:34
restricted or sanction. Yeah, yeah, he owns, you know,
8:40
he's part of it. Now, he's part of that platform
8:42
so he can kind of he has a little bit more pull now, right?
8:46
So he can kind of do things, I mean, I don't know.
8:50
Do you think it gives them a little bit more?
8:51
Power jet says, it's The platform.
8:54
If you want to use it you can it's optional for now one day
8:57
case, maybe be that there is no option tread lightly Freedom.
9:01
Seekers so yeah. And I think that's a that's a
9:07
very valid point to it's a private platform.
9:10
You have the opportunity to just go away, I do that, I do that.
9:18
I don't use Twitter a lot. I use it sometimes but I
9:22
sometimes I I just put my phone in a drawer, I do that every
9:27
once in a while, like every day I put my phone in a drawer for
9:29
an hour and I just don't look at Twitter.
9:32
I don't look at social media, I don't look at my computer, don't
9:35
look at any screens. Do it for an hour a day, people
9:37
can not join Twitter, you know, the conversations that happen on
9:41
Twitter, aren't the conversations that happen every
9:43
place else to so free speech, functional democracy.
9:50
Is this where people communicate the most is it on Twitter.
9:53
Do people have the most influence on Twitter?
9:56
It's a business though. So you have to think about that.
9:59
Can you talk to your friends still?
10:00
Can you voice your opinions to people in your community?
10:04
Yes, you always can it. You always could.
10:07
But can you also talk on Twitter?
10:11
Of course you can. It can you reach a broader
10:13
audience on Twitter than you can in your hometown probably you
10:18
know it really depends. So, those are things you have to
10:23
take into consideration when Ilan says this.
10:25
You know, like, when he buys these things, it's the, it's the
10:30
right to speak your mind, but they're always be consequences
10:33
for how you speak your mind, you know, so that's a principle of
10:37
democracy and Ilan. Thanks free speech is essential
10:41
to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter
10:43
rigorously adheres to this principle?
10:45
Most people say, know the consequences of this pole will
10:50
Be important, please vote carefully.
10:54
So bring that up in the first meeting Elon, when you're
10:57
meeting with a bunch of people. Here you go, buddy, like here,
11:00
look at this pole, over two million, people voted, you know,
11:04
voted for this thing. Here you go.
11:08
So, you know, maybe there's the show, is brought to you by
11:10
backblaze, I use back place to backup my podcast, my video
11:14
files, all of my writing stuff, and all my photos.
11:18
And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs and PCs for
11:21
just $7 a month. You can backup your own
11:24
documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
11:27
data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
11:31
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
11:34
to iOS Android apps all covered. And This is the cool part.
11:37
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail or
11:39
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
11:43
to your door. I could come to your business to
11:45
and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
11:48
hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
11:52
and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
11:55
hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
11:58
it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
12:01
You don't want to waste days and days downloading terabytes and
12:05
teraflops of data. And if You're worried about
12:07
accidentally deleting your files to bucks extra month.
12:10
You can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
12:14
it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.

13:11
So go to back plays.com / heel on back plays.com Ilan,
13:17
backblaze.com heel on the maybe there's a sort of in-between
13:23
thing, you know, where there's there's free speech on Twitter.
13:26
Maybe there's another part of Twitter that's like completely
13:28
free. I Know Jack Dorsey has talked
13:30
about this before. There's another part of Twitter
13:32
that is just the wildlands and you can do whatever you want.
13:37
Whenever you want, talk about whatever you want, and then
13:40
there's the regular Twitter, you know, there's the wild Twitter
13:43
and then there's, you know, the wild crazy Twitter where
13:46
everything goes and then there's the other Twitter, which is the
13:50
normal Twitter where everybody like myself.
13:53
I'm just like I just want to. I just want like a space News,
13:55
man. I don't want to deal with
13:57
anybody's stupid political opinions or anything like that.
14:00
Like, I don't care. I just want to look at space
14:02
news, I wanna see what's going on at Starbase.
14:04
I wanna see what's going on with SLS.
14:06
I want to see what's Going on, you know, with all the launches
14:08
and stuff. So now I you know like I don't
14:14
want to go to the wild west of Twitter.
14:16
I want to stay in like this kind of this subsection.
14:21
Well I guess the normal section where it's mainly just either
14:26
friends and family and space news.
14:28
That's all I care about. That's it.
14:31
And I don't want to see the other stuff.
14:33
You know the Free Speech Advocates which I do believe in
14:37
free speech. Of course I don't I would never
14:39
want to help or anybody's. Free Speech.
14:41
But I think it's important that we may have to have other places
14:45
where free speech is, okay. And there are platforms out
14:48
there for that. So of Elon wants to, you know,
14:53
get a bunch of other investors together and kind of take over
14:56
Twitter. Is that a thing in the future?
14:59
To let's talk about a little bit so 13g filing released today,
15:05
according to the finally must purchase the steak on March
15:08
14th. So, on March 25th, that's what
15:10
he tweeted this. So he bought it on the 14th musk
15:14
has long been, what have, you know, as 80 million followers.
15:18
He's, he's a huge deal on Twitter.
15:23
Let's see. So musk tweeted also that given
15:26
that Twitter serves as a de facto Public Town Square,
15:29
failing to adhere to free, speech, principles,
15:32
fundamentally, undermines democracy.
15:36
And he's also said that he wants to build a new platform.
15:39
So, here he is buying part of Twitter, 9.2 percent stake in
15:44
Twitter and also Twitter's price has gone up the stock like shut
15:49
up a little bit this morning, he's a free speech.
15:52
Flutist thinks it should happen, no matter what Free Speech
15:55
should be available to anybody. And also, he said, at one point,
16:00
that his starlink SpaceX is starlink, would never hit her
16:04
free speech. That communication can go
16:06
through Star Lake. And there will never be any way
16:09
for him to stop people's free speech.
16:12
So, you know, he's had his his problems with the SEC due to
16:17
Twitter and that now, you know, he said some things I've always
16:22
had I have it here somewhere. I wrote it down in a text box,
16:25
somewhere was in 2018. Oh, yeah.
16:31
Ilan said secured funding or something like that in 2018.
16:35
And then the SEC came after him, and that Tesla's lawyers have to
16:39
pre-approve all of his tweets pertaining to Teslas.
16:47
Money basically sales delivery numbers and stuff like that.
16:50
So basically, he was kind of like, I shut off from by the FCC
16:54
it by the SEC due to that which, you know, you can't make jokes
16:59
about that stuff, that's just part of the deal.
17:01
Like, if you're, if you're a CEO of company, if you have that
17:05
kind of stuff going on, don't do it.
17:07
It doesn't make sense. So 10 man, says, if we've
17:13
already seen major changes in communication between because of
17:15
Twitter, for example, Ukraine asking for help from Elon was
17:19
start like business deals have been made on Twitter and other
17:21
social media. Yeah, yeah.
17:22
Clear communication with politics especially political
17:27
stuff. That's a, that's a big deal, you
17:32
know? So the Free Speech there, you
17:36
know is Eli going to have a point, you know, to prove and
17:40
push that through where everybody can speak their mind
17:43
freely. And I know people politicians
17:46
have been banned from Twitter due to their policies.
17:49
So you know is that That, is that what's going to happen with
17:54
Elon Musk? I mean, there's so many thanks
17:56
things that could happen. The quantity of Vlad, dracul
18:01
says, the consequences of speaking?
18:03
Your mind is being cancelled or not.
18:07
Well, I guess scroll up here because it just popped up here
18:09
and not being able to speak your mind.
18:12
Sounds logical. Hey, happy Cappy.
18:14
Thanks so much for that. Super Chat, man, I appreciate
18:17
that. Let me get over here.
18:19
Let me, let me get this out there.
18:21
We got to get you some Starships, buddy.
18:23
Happycabbie, anything will always be better than Facebook.
18:27
I'm 100% with you there. Dude, I am 100% with you.
18:31
Thank you so much for that. Super Chat.
18:32
Appreciate that the strips to Starbase funding secured funding
18:39
secured four trips to Starbase. Thank you so much for that.
18:43
Yeah, anything will always be better than Facebook.
18:46
Yeah, I had to use Facebook the other day.
18:47
Let's get, let's go on a little little side like side tangent.
18:51
I do use Facebook. The other day because I was
18:55
selling something and I was like, well, the easiest way to
18:57
do is through Facebook Marketplace and so I so I did
19:01
that I did the Facebook Marketplace thing and I just, I
19:05
hated everything about it. I don't know, but I hate
19:08
Facebook is horrible and I go out.
19:10
I only want on there for that thing and then I left, like I
19:15
sold the thing and then I left, so I was like, I'm never I'm
19:19
never going back. It's just like our people people
19:22
post. Edge on there.
19:23
It's like Twitter to Twitter does the same thing but Facebook
19:25
is just horrible. So I'm there with you happy.
19:30
This is this is an AI played by Elon.
19:32
People are all missing this part of it, Twitter and social media
19:34
cannot function. Without AI is the next step past
19:37
test based AI o dang okay. Okay.
19:44
So Jude that's a very interesting, very interesting.
19:50
Take out everything. I like that up to, you know, if
19:54
you want to elaborate, that's cool.
19:55
But I haven't looked into that yet.
19:57
That's really, really interesting.
20:01
Huh, task-based. He's a, I am not a big.
20:04
A, I like, I don't know, a ton about a ice F, so I can't really
20:08
get into that. But that's really, really
20:11
interesting and I'll take that in consideration, but I look
20:14
into this a little bit more. That's very cool.
20:17
So he Lon And that Elon tweeted us, check this out, Ilan,
20:22
cheated tweeted. Oh hi lol, what a troll, what a
20:28
troll. Oh hi lol.
20:31
April 4th 11:04 a.m. so that's about an hour ago, an hour and a
20:35
half ago. Actually exactly an hour and a
20:38
half ago. Oh hi.
20:39
Lol, lol. So I was like, yo, he Lon video
20:44
playback is horrible on Twitter. Please talk to engineering and
20:46
help out content creators. I want to Ice cream from
20:49
Starbase on Twitter but not worth it.
20:52
Yeah. That.
20:54
I mean, like, come on, dude. You got some pull now talk to
20:56
engineering. So Scott Manley says, so do we
20:59
start asking you for an edit button, right?
21:06
Yeah. It's it's a it's a tough play by
21:10
Elon here. He buys a stake in this if it is
21:13
for AI stuff. I know Tesla, of course, is an
21:18
AI company. You know, the robot, the cars,
21:22
everything. Of is a I you know they want to
21:25
be as opposed to a car company be an AI company make the future
21:31
basically. So if that's if that's the case
21:34
and there's something going on with Twitter and getting data
21:38
from Twitter for something or, you know, whatever it is, I'm
21:42
not sure what it is, what they would use the a i play for for
21:46
Twitter, but it would be really interesting to see where that
21:48
goes. And if he buys the whole thing
21:51
eventually, If he if he dislikes Like scoob's up all the stock,
21:54
he had 9.2 percent, maybe he'll get 51% 50.5 or whatever
22:00
whatever you need. Then do an AI move.
22:05
That's pretty smart, man. I like that.
22:08
Jess said, it's not easy moderating chat but before you
22:11
go hiding people's comments just because you don't agree member
22:14
that, that's the problem with Twitter.
22:15
Now, I have mods to. Yeah, I have mods to and also
22:22
hiding people's tweets. It's automatic sometimes on
22:24
YouTube. So just so, you know, some most
22:28
of the, most of those things they get automatically held in,
22:30
then I do. Do anything with them if they're
22:32
held. Then that's not my phone.
22:35
Not my, not my deal. So Dave's with the space pants,
22:39
Jude Jack Dorsey only has two point eight.
22:43
Yeah, and Jack is the man, right?
22:45
So Jack is the Twitter man. So Jack is, you know, he's a
22:52
huge part of Twitter and I know him and he'll on our friends.
22:56
So, do you think, maybe they talked about this beforehand?
22:59
I don't know, speech recognition for future Vehicles, simplified
23:03
commands, for users in their speech patterns.
23:06
That's good. I like that.
23:07
Yeah, there's got to be so much data from Twitter.
23:10
Do they could the Elan could use for other things?
23:14
You know, is this a strategic positioning from Elan to use
23:19
data from this for as other projects, possibly possibly?
23:28
I only have two people in my tutor Elon and a news guy.
23:30
It nice. Nice, nice nice.
23:33
So the The fact that Elon bought this, it's going to be a wild
23:41
ride for the next few months to see what else happens.
23:44
And I know there's going to be some, I hope there's going to be
23:47
some changes at Twitter from this.
23:49
I mean it's got me only says the edit buttons, kind of funny but
23:53
the video playback of course, is somebody who creates content and
23:56
would love, I would love to stream from Starbase out of
23:59
Twitter, right? They make it difficult to do
24:02
that, you know? It's just unbearable how you
24:08
would do that. So I get it live streaming from
24:11
your phone is a cool idea. But if you have gear, you know,
24:15
it makes sense to make it easier to stream on Twitter and to
24:19
monetize it. So for me, for me, that would
24:22
make a lot of sense. That's what I'm hoping for.
24:26
So, if there's anything else, I mean, I would tweet Elan right
24:28
now and ask him for a stuff because I know he probably looks
24:33
at the embassy. How many retweets?
24:36
As to what a 31,000 point. Six likes sixteen point three
24:40
thousand retweets. So you know whether their Bots,
24:44
whether spammers whether they're real people, 16,000 people, he
24:47
has, how many, how many files are they have?
24:49
Let's find out 80 million followers, 80 point two million
24:53
followers. Yeah, so yeah, 80 million
24:57
followers. And, you know, 16,000 retweets?
25:02
232,000 likes. That seems about, right?
25:04
The ratio is pretty good. So that's not, that's not too
25:08
bad. I'm sure there are Bots, though.
25:11
I know this the tech a political show biz.
25:14
Motivations are also about the censorship issue of Twitter yet
25:17
and he said it to you said it before a storm storm D that, you
25:20
know, he thinks it's free speech.
25:22
You know, everyone should have a voice.
25:24
It should be nobody gets censored Free Speech, advocate.
25:28
He wants that to happen to. So do you Elon Musk?
25:33
Give me back my Twitter account. I hear you.
25:38
Yeah. Twitter has a bandwidth memory
25:39
limit of how long a video could be.
25:40
Exactly. Exactly.
25:42
So there's that, there's that to like I would love, I would love
25:45
to upload my videos to twitter and to YouTube, you know, make
25:48
it a make it a whole platform and I know Twitter is a really
25:52
quick news, right? Likes.
25:55
You're supposed to get You know, get stuff really fast, but I
26:00
think 10 minutes is, you know, if you're doing a 10-minute
26:02
show, or if you do a three minute show, if you do a
26:04
four-minute show five minutes, show, whatever I think it should
26:07
be available on Twitter as well, but that's just, you know,
26:10
that's my take as a content creator myself.
26:13
There's other things that are probably more important than
26:16
that Twitter in engineering and the what not just to kind of
26:20
iron out in the background. So, let's move on to NASA.
26:24
So there's a lot of lot of NASA stuff happening, the SLS.
26:29
We talked about it a little bit earlier, they're doing the wet
26:32
dress rehearsal, and if you're not familiar, this is when they,
26:35
they basically do everything they have to do, in order to get
26:41
the rocket ready for launch, but they don't launch it.
26:45
That's the easiest way to put it, right?
26:47
So, the, the easiest thing to say is they just don't push the
26:51
launch button. Ian, but it's ready to go if
26:54
they need it, too. So this is the test before the
26:57
launch. So here we go.
26:58
This is this was tweeted earlier today.
27:01
I'll show you this real quick and then we'll go out and we'll
27:02
move on a little bit. NASA.
27:04
Kennedy teams are go to proceed with the Artemis.
27:06
One wet dress rehearsal, the pre-launch test, for NASA, SLS
27:09
rocket, NASA's Orion spacecraft weather is looking good fellow,
27:13
NASA, ground systems. And here's a update from the
27:17
NASA Artemis program. Cow dung for the wet dress,
27:20
rehearsal has resumed at 10:52 a.m.
27:22
Eastern daylight time and clocks of pick back up at T-minus six
27:26
hours, 40 minutes on the clock, seven hours, 10 minutes, new
27:29
plan to t- O of 60 2 p.m. has been established.
27:36
So, this is the get into this a little bit too.
27:37
And I want to show you guys this to.
27:38
This is, this is pretty. This is telling of what just
27:42
happened. Dems.
27:43
Thanks so much for that. Super Chat.
27:45
You are awesome. You are awesome.
27:49
In earlier issue with an outage with a Under of gaseous nitrogen
27:54
required for techie. Preparation has been resolved.
27:57
Happy! Why is you're still going Deb's?
28:00
There you go. You got your Starship.
28:02
You get your Starship finally. Right.
28:04
So, let's keep going with this. You get this for the whole
28:06
paragraph, overnight teams also resolve the issue with a
28:09
malfunction of the fans used to provide positive pressure to
28:12
enclosed areas in the mobile launcher and keep out hazardous
28:14
gases. They have a plan for operating
28:16
the fans to prevent issues from reoccurring in the team, was
28:19
able to successfully bring up and One primary fan through the
28:23
night to provide confidence and it's configure to configure the
28:26
secondary fan to run 80% capacity support tanking
28:29
operations. So, there we go.
28:31
SLS is being updated right now and, you know, we hope that the,
28:40
the whole wet dress rehearsal happens and everything goes Goes
28:47
well and up-to-date. You know, they get ready for the
28:52
SLS, launch the Artemis, one launch.
28:55
It's important, you know, as much as some, you know, some
28:57
people are doubters. They're haters about this thing.
29:00
But it's very important that we get people back on the moon,
29:03
because in those people that have been sent to the Moon that
29:06
data, that information helps people get to Mars in the
29:11
ultimate goal is to get to people to Mars, right?
29:14
So, that's the thing that's the I think we're working for
29:17
getting people from the earth to the moon and then from the Moon
29:21
to Mars. So that's the, that's the plan
29:24
for the next 15 years. You know, like just keep doing
29:28
that keep working on it. And this is the small, you know,
29:30
a small hiccup. You know I don't think the SLS
29:36
launch Tower was well grounded when it was hit by lightning
29:38
says Michael. Yeah, I think it was I don't
29:42
know exactly the technical What about that at this point?
29:47
But yeah, it's I mean, it's a huge possibility.
29:52
That's a thing that I could have had an effect on one of the
29:55
system's there, right? Just hit the SLS locks
29:57
temperature issue during chill down.
30:00
I'm not sure. I didn't hear about that one.
30:02
So I can't comment on that but I can't comment on booster 7.
30:07
So booster 7 Starbase, we're talking about Starbase now,
30:11
we're talking about Starship, booster 7 on the The launch
30:16
Mount. Now on the olm orbital launch
30:19
Mount and this is from footage that I took from Starbase that I
30:24
got from Starbase the other day. Let me, let me actually pause
30:27
this real quick right here. I want to show you guys these
30:30
covers, right? The arrow covers on the side of
30:36
of the booster. See this kind of like this line,
30:38
see this, where my, where my cursor is right here, I'm just
30:40
moving down this thing. Those are huge.
30:44
They're about the quarter. They're about a Order of the
30:46
size of the, of the booster, right?
30:51
So these Arrow covers. They seem like they're going to
30:55
be providing maybe some drag and some aerodynamic guidance for
31:04
the booster as it flies and also when it comes back down so it
31:08
doesn't have grid fins quite yet.
31:10
But I just want to point that out to you guys.
31:13
Just so you have a little reference for the future that
31:15
those Things can create some drag can kind of guide the
31:18
guide, the rocket guide, the booster and we're going to get a
31:20
couple of views of that throughout this thing.
31:23
So, yeah, there's there's a, there's a ton of work being done
31:28
on booster 7 right now. I heard that there's a and I
31:33
just like barely saw this this morning that the Cutie arm was
31:38
going to be attached today. I didn't get a chance to do it
31:41
because I was setting up for the show.
31:42
I didn't get a chance to see what's going on, but I was
31:44
setting up for the show and if the To the arm does, which is a
31:47
quick disconnect arm does attach to booster 7 today.
31:54
I think it already did, I'm not sure, but I heard I heard about
31:58
it this morning. I'm not 100% sure, but if that's
32:02
happening, then expect some cryo test and there's some there's
32:05
some other stuff going on to down at Starbase and I'm going
32:08
to I'm going to talk about that really quick because so booster
32:13
for and I don't want to spend too much time I my booster 7
32:16
because it's there's not really much to talk about other than
32:20
that. It's cool in the booster, 7 is
32:22
the next because I've covered it so many times, but booster 7 is
32:25
like the next part of Starship flight testing.
32:31
So without the flight of course, and I got to fly it quite yet
32:34
but in the future they will so they have to do all the tests on
32:37
it first. So I want to talk about another
32:39
thing that we that that right here, ship 20 so ship 20 booster
32:45
for The two, that a lot of people thought were going to
32:47
fly. Even Elan said at one point, the
32:49
booster for ship 20 are going to fly in the first orbital flight
32:53
test and Ilan. Said, you know, at one point
33:00
that's not going to be the one that's not going to be the ship
33:02
that's going to fly. That's not going to be the
33:03
booster that's going to fly. But what are they going to do
33:07
with these things? We've had numerous conversations
33:08
on the show about this. Will they take booster for and
33:12
ship 22 the shipyard? You know the sitcom the Rocket
33:21
Garden. There we go.
33:22
The rocket really take those to the Rocket Garden.
33:25
Will they take them too? South Padre Island.
33:29
Will they take them to the airport?
33:31
You know, will they lay them down and ship them someplace
33:35
else where they take him to the cape?
33:36
We don't know. Like we just didn't know for the
33:38
longest time. What's going to be happening to
33:39
them? So here you can see that booster
33:44
for is still at the pad. Ship 20 is still at the pad.
33:49
Booster 7 is on the olm. So what are they going to do
33:52
with booster for ship 20? We're not sure because check
33:55
this out. Will show you this footage that
33:56
I got the other day. I got this yesterday.
34:00
There's construction going on right outside of Starbase
34:06
production facility. There's road construction going
34:09
on. The road is being ripped apart,
34:12
they're driving backhoes, and diggers deep into the ground.
34:16
Loud right next to the right next to the production facility
34:22
at Starbase. So there's absolutely no way a
34:26
booster or a ship can get past that until they repave.
34:30
This is this all handheld footage, this is all Run and
34:34
Gun, kind of stuff. I was stuck right there real
34:37
quick. So so what I think is going to
34:41
happen because I think booster for think they're going to rip
34:44
the grid, fins off that thing if they're going to reuse.
34:46
As those and I think they're going to just do what they did
34:49
with booster three. I think they can just they can
34:52
rip it apart right there. Like they did with booster
34:55
three. It was very it was a very
34:57
actually really quick process. It only took a day to do it.
35:01
So Matthew little I think you're right, don't do you think
35:04
they'll scrap before it launch site and said I think they're
35:07
going to, I don't think they're going to.
35:09
I don't think they're going to cart it off anywhere.
35:12
I think booster for ship 20, maybe they might take ship.
35:16
Place because all the tiles, how are they going to get those
35:19
tiles off when they scrap it? It seems like a like more of a
35:23
pain to scrap it than to like card it up to South Padre Island
35:27
or like to the airport or something, or to the Rocket
35:29
Garden. Just hang it.
35:30
And then I'll put it over there near the boosters.
35:34
Right now your boots are seven but that's also might just be
35:37
what are those things that we wait for?
35:40
For a while, right? So we might just have to hang
35:44
out and wait and see what they do.
35:46
This part of the road, I would say it's about a half a mile,
35:49
maybe maybe a quarter mile of of road that was ripped up and
35:54
there's no way, there's absolutely no way.
35:56
There's no room for a booster or a ship to get past that.
36:00
So unless they do really quick pave job on this thing, which I
36:04
don't think they're going to. Because the the way that they
36:06
did the Roads from the production site to the launch
36:12
site. It took them a while.
36:16
So I think it might be another. It least two weeks to a month to
36:21
get this Construction done to get this road work done.
36:24
I mean it's a smaller piece than from the production site to the
36:27
launch site and maybe there's other things going on between
36:29
their when they're when they're building that stuff down there
36:32
at the launch site area. But there's a possibility that
36:38
they just wait on that stuff. So that's kind of like the piece
36:42
of the puzzle that I've been worrying and are like wondering
36:44
about Longest time I wasn't worrying about.
36:46
I was wondering about it for the longest time.
36:49
What are they going to do with those things?
36:51
I think it's cool that they're there.
36:52
I also think it's it would be neat if it were someplace else
36:55
so other people can see it. So I think it's pretty cool but
36:59
I think they may describe before at the launch site.
37:02
I think that's that's pretty much it.
37:04
I think that's all they're going to do is going to scrap it right
37:06
there. Tin man says SpaceX needs to
37:11
just launch a Millennium Falcon ship on top of a booster to put
37:14
in orbit. It'll be better home as a moon
37:16
base instead of cylindrical modules.
37:18
Yeah, that would be awesome. Right.
37:20
Did it get like the the Hologram chess board or whatever that
37:23
thing was? I forgot.
37:24
That's called there's like an actual name for that game but
37:27
that'd be pretty sweet. Shake ship 20 till it breaks
37:30
really test the limits of the heat tiles though they could do
37:33
the can crusher. What if they do that?
37:38
What if they shake until it just gets destroyed?
37:41
That would be awesome. Yeah.
37:44
So, all day today, there's a road closure.
37:48
Is a road closure for Highway 4 and it's it's all been blocked
37:53
off now. It's ready to, you know, they're
37:55
ready for testing their testing right now.
37:57
And I know that, you know, there's there's testing that's
38:02
going to be happening all day long from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
38:06
here you go. I'm going to show you the road
38:08
closures that have been happening that are going to be
38:09
happening today. Beach is closed.
38:12
That means a good they're doing. The doing something important
38:15
April. 4th 2022 beats closed, Road closed. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
38:21
same thing for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday, 6:00
38:23
a.m. to 4 p.m. as usual, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., so they're going to
38:27
be doing something today. We're not exactly sure
38:29
everything they're going to be doing today but yeah we'll see.
38:34
We'll see what happens. Should be interesting.
38:39
You know, I think it's, I think this is going to be really
38:44
quick. Test schedule even wants to
38:46
launch in May, right? So we have a place, the 4th of
38:50
April Ilan wants to launch in. May the Peña is done April 28 so
38:59
just give it like another 25 days there.
39:02
So we have about almost two months.
39:05
Probably of testing for booster 7 and ship.
39:09
Keep whatever they're going to use on top of booster 7.
39:12
Not sure if they're if they are going to use booster seven for
39:15
the launch that would be great. What if they just do a couple?
39:21
Maybe they have to test a certain part of booster 7, the
39:25
move on to booster eight. Maybe there's a part of booster
39:28
7 that they're like, okay we kind of figure this out but
39:31
we're not exactly sure if this is going to work, probably going
39:33
to work but we don't know. Maybe they're going to test a
39:36
certain part of booster 7 and then go, okay.
39:38
We don't need this thing anymore.
39:39
Scrap it. And then they build booster a
39:41
move that in and then booster 8 is the one, but we'll see.
39:46
We'll see what happens. But booster 7 right now, looks
39:49
like they're testing at Starbase and you know it's going to be
39:56
all day. So it's from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
39:59
it's 1:00 p.m. central Time here.
40:01
So we have another nine hours of testing at least the window for
40:06
testing. So yeah, there's there's a lot.
40:09
It can happen in the next and the next bit here.
40:13
And it looks like the cryo Farm the farm by booster seven.
40:18
And at the launch site is going right now.
40:20
So we'll see if they do a full cryo test if they're just
40:23
testing the pumps. If they're just testing the
40:25
pipes to get out to booster 7, make sure everything works
40:29
right. That would be amazing, maybe
40:32
that's the first day to test the pipes, test everything out, make
40:34
sure everything works, right? And then the next day, Test
40:40
