SpaceX Starship SN9 Launch Updates [ Also More Elon Musk, SpaceX, Blue Origin, NASA News ] · Elon Musk Podcast

0:01
So, let's, let's get into this a little bit.
0:03
Let's get in this a little bit. We got some, some news, the nro
0:07
L 108 was successful, the launch was successful and a couple
0:15
highlights from it from the SpaceX twitter account.
0:22
Let's do that. Let's not do the new transition
0:24
because it looks weird, but here's a cool.
0:26
I found this cool went on her Twitter.
0:29
It is a a helicopter shot of the launch and there's actually a
0:34
better the better version better quality version but this is from
0:38
their Twitter, of course Twitter has really horrible video
0:41
quality but look how cool that is.
0:47
What a cool shot. Yeah, super cool.
0:55
That's sick. The mission was a success and
0:57
rol. 108 was a complete success. They deployed it this actually
1:02
here's a landing to check this out.
1:04
Look at this. Wow.
1:13
Yeah, that's pretty cool now. Okay.
1:14
So I'm going to rewind a little bit here so you can hear the
1:17
sound like booms. Watch this like right around
1:20
here. I'm going to turn this way up
1:22
and you won't be able to hit it. It's not going to be super loud.
1:24
So don't worry about it, but check this out.
1:41
But they're pretty sweet. Yeah, pretty sweet though.
1:48
Sonic booms, whoo. Anokhi I'm doing great today.
1:52
Thanks, how are you doing? Hello from Hannover Germany.
1:56
Can't Candace. Thanks.
1:59
Hello from New York. This was a launch.
2:02
You want to see in person because the landing.
2:04
Oh yeah, these Landings are so cool man.
2:07
There's another one they have. Another shot of this Landing.
2:09
Here's another, a different angle of lz1.
2:19
Stage, one Landing, like deploy stage.
2:21
Mr. Of terminal guidance to get out of the way.
2:25
Dang, I missed. I missed.
2:29
You can't you can't really see it too.
2:30
Well I'm trying to dodge all the way but I have all this stuff
2:32
behind me. So stage, one Landing like a boy
2:36
stage to start of terminal guidance.
2:38
Yeah, pretty cool. And then shortly after that,
2:41
they stop the broadcast because it's basically a secret mission.
2:46
You know here's a lift off again for a pretty cool man.
2:59
So and rol 108 is in the books and you know they they did it.
3:05
They have a bunch of actually they have a bunch of cool
3:07
pictures on their Flickr to which we could just check that
3:10
out too. Because I have some neat, if a
3:13
couple of neat pictures that they posted on their Twitter
3:15
account, From their Flickr. But look at look at how great
3:18
that shot is. Like that's an awesome awesome
3:24
shot. So detailed.
3:30
And look at how. Used that rocket is.
3:37
You see the charring on the side, right before, right
3:42
before. The Flames, hit the ground.
3:47
It's like just heating up the pad.
3:50
So cool man. So check out SpaceX is Twitter
3:53
if you want more of these things legs are fully deployed.
3:56
What a great, great image. Yeah, SpaceX the got some good
4:01
stuff going on there. So they got an awesome Flickr to
4:05
where you can find images that like, you wouldn't, they usually
4:09
don't post on social media. There's a bunch of other ones.
4:14
Matthew. It Landings are so normal now,
4:16
it's kind of get it for ya. Kind of bought it.
4:18
It's routine. Right?
4:20
Like Matthew, that's what we want.
4:21
We want it to be routine. We wanted to be like airplane,
4:26
right? We want it to be like, okay, so
4:29
they did another launch. You know, it's routine but it's
4:33
never boring. Yeah, right, exactly.
4:35
Neil, that are never boring. But the routine, they're getting
4:38
to a place where we kind of know what to expect and if something
4:41
goes weird, we're looking, oh no, it tilted a little bit.
4:45
You know, it's something like that.
4:49
Yeah, I'm I'm excited about the new stuff but yeah.
4:54
Felt every Falcon launches, amazing and every Landing is
4:57
amazing. So I'm happy about those thing.
5:02
Hank, airplane, landing when you're inside the planar.
5:04
Always exciting. I totally agree.
5:08
I totally agree with you. My favorite part of flying is
5:12
the take-off in the landing. Those two things are my favorite
5:14
things. Everything in between is this,
5:16
like, whatever. I'm just thinking they can take
5:18
a nap for eight hours or whatever.
5:21
And yeah, it's a the, The Landing.
5:26
It's always such a rush. It's like a little roller
5:28
coaster ride Starship. We see you, man.
5:31
Just chill out, dude. So like The Landings are cool.
5:37
Because there's like that like the dive, you know but you can
5:41
feel like the the g-forces you sit in your seat, you're like
5:44
alright almost there man almost there then I got to spend 30
5:47
minutes in the airport getting all my junk.
5:50
You know, that's that's the key right there.
5:54
That's the key is like like the flight could be routine.
5:59
Now, right? So these Falcon nine flights can
6:01
be routine and eventually. I mean already there already
6:06
were courses in there are these so reliable that NASA and you
6:11
know, secret agencies the like the nro they they launch spy
6:17
satellites and stuff with Falcon 9's because they know they're so
6:21
reliable. So it's really cool man.
6:24
It's really cool that they are so reliable.
6:27
So there's a another thing that we should be taking a look at
6:30
today the Of course the the cleanup of sn8.
6:40
So here we have Ilan with Marvin.
6:43
The Martian clean up right after its soon after I should say not
6:48
right after soon after sn8 cratered and they started the
6:54
cleanup process almost immediately but they do have a
6:57
few things that they're working on.
7:01
Here's one from the nurdle cam. Padre.
7:05
Then you can just see all the all the mechanical giant
7:09
machines out there. Excavators, backhoes cranes.
7:14
There's front loaders over here. There's just stuff moving in and
7:18
out of the whole like the whole day.
7:21
So, go over to the nurdle cam on lab Padre stream because if you
7:27
want to see how this stuff is done, It's a constant feed, a
7:33
constant feed of Starship content over there and just like
7:40
of how the things work, right? So if everything, you know, if
7:46
everything goes well, they should have the pad cleared, I
7:49
don't know. Probably I don't know.
7:51
I'm thinking two days, maybe two days, maybe, but they also have
7:57
to move. That knows coming in that no
7:58
skills huge. And there's there's kind of a
8:00
skeleton crew right now because the holidays not a skeleton
8:04
crew. There's just less people there
8:06
right now so they're going to continue working on it and move
8:10
forward with you know, the cleanup of that.
8:13
And also they have to fix the pad because it got crushed.
8:21
Literally got crushed by the By the, by The Landing.
8:29
So check this out. I'll so I know we talked about
8:32
this the other day, but here's the Tweet, Ilan.
8:34
Can you please save this nose cone as a monument to remember
8:37
from space Padre, Pio on YouTube, or on Twitter.
8:42
And this is the SN a nose cone, right?
8:44
And then Ilan, you know, there's another picture of it here right
8:50
there, but Elon Check this out. Ilan replied.
9:00
Somewhere down here in this thread, I don't remember where
9:04
it was but Elon replied o agreed should be preserved in memory of
9:09
sna. So Starship, monolith Evelyn
9:13
right that's exactly what needs to happen.
9:15
Like I think they need to keep this thing because this is this
9:18
is history in the making we all saw it.
9:22
Yeah I think I think there could be a place for this and I'll
9:25
maybe they have a little Rocket Garden at SpaceX Boca Chica.
9:30
Because I don't really have anything like that yet or maybe
9:32
they can repurpose it and make it into something cool.
9:34
Like Star Hopper, you know start Harper does a lot of cool
9:37
things. Now even though it's flight was
9:39
successful, it's like well we don't need it anymore.
9:41
So let's kind of reuse and repurpose it.
9:43
Make it into a Weathervane, it has like, batteries on it, run
9:46
cables, through it, all sorts of stuff.
9:52
Matthew, the sn8 Lego model was demolished.
9:55
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, kind of a kind of exploded
9:59
a lot though. Let's just let's just say it
10:01
exploded a lot. That was one of my, one of my
10:04
favorite Landings. This year was the sn8, this show
10:08
is brought to you by backblaze, I use back place to back up my
10:12
podcast. My video files, all of my
10:15
writing stuff, and all my photos.
10:17
And you get unlimited computer backup for Macs and PCs for just
10:20
$7 a month. You can backup your own
10:22
documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
10:26
data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
10:29
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
10:33
to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
10:36
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
10:38
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
10:42
to your door. It could come to your business
10:43
to and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
10:47
hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days.
10:51
And get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
10:54
hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
10:57
it. Which is the perfect program for
10:59
somebody who has huge files and you don't want to waste days and
11:02
days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
11:05
And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
11:07
files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
11:10
history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
11:14
Files comes in super handy. So seven dollars plus two
11:17
dollars nine dollars a month, and you get everything backed
11:20
up. He's a mind for, uh, To a year.
11:22

11:44
I defied mac and more and it's recently been listed on the
11:47
NASDAQ stock exchange under be lze.
11:50
So, you know, they're legit. That glaze is committed more

you with it it's really powerful in is really easy to use.
12:10
So go to back place.com slash Ilan, back plays.com Ilan
12:16
backblaze.com, Ilan. Landing May the because we
12:22
didn't expect it to come down, like, like that.
12:25
I should say, I know, Neal was really hoping that it cratered.
12:30
I was hoping that it. I was hoping that it 100%
12:33
successful rate hundred percent success rate, but I also was
12:37
hoping That it came down belly flop style, and dislike
12:41
cratered, and of the ground. And though we expected it to
12:44
come down Cal. Exactly.
12:46
Yeah, we expected to come down but not so good.
12:49
Like it came down. Almost perfect.
12:52
Yeah. And that was that was thing that
12:55
like Nobody really expected. It was pretty cool, man.
13:00
I was, I was pretty pumped. I was pretty pumped when that I
13:04
didn't even know what to do. Like I freaked out when that
13:06
landed whatever goes up must come down.
13:09
Let's see keeps going. Let's go to space.
13:15
So here's a another cool thing. Another SpaceX thing that I saw,
13:21
So SpaceX acquires frequencies for starlink in Germany, pretty
13:28
cool. Here's the translation from the
13:31
article and the article this is from Reddit slash are slash star
13:35
link and this is a German website so I can't like I don't
13:39
know German so here we go there's a translation here
13:44
probably Google translate I'm not sure 100% what it is but
13:47
basically We have created the legal frequencies requirements
13:53
of the broadband internet can be offered via satellite and
13:55
Germany, so basically getting starlink into Germany, what kind
14:01
of opened it up to, you know, broader EU base?
14:06
So Germany kind of taking the reins here and saying, oh yeah,
14:09
like this is possible. Bring your business over here.
14:12
It's a commercial business. I think about that.
14:15
How many people are in the world?
14:18
Billions of people in the world and if they get all of you if
14:22
they get they won't get China. Of course they probably won't
14:25
get Russia but you know, other other countries in the EU if
14:31
they continue to build this starlink system out it's going
14:35
to be a huge moneymaker so they can fund something like, you
14:39
know, a bunch of launches for Starship, you know, and keep
14:43
their business going. Like they have to have money
14:45
coming in in order to build new stuff.
14:47
So That's why this is important because it can't just be the
14:50
u.s. If it's just the US they have a
14:53
limited customer base. And once those, once those
14:55
customers kind of shift in and out, because once you're in a
14:59
rural area, like most of the time, you don't get a new
15:03
provider, you know what I'm saying?
15:04
You don't or you, you might move out or people might cycle
15:09
through, but if you have people all over the world, doing
15:11
they're doing that. Then you have a really good
15:15
chance of making a ton of money billions.
15:18
Probably trillions dollars. So Germany, its kind of their
15:23
kind of their like step into the EU so hopefully they can
15:29
continue to expand over there. But basically it says like in
15:34
this article, in addition to the cellulite that works starlink is
15:37
also receive frequencies for several Earth stations in
15:39
Germany, which ensure the transition and connection to the
15:42
internet basically. Private satellite internet,
15:46
operator in Germany, they have the ground stations ready or
15:50
they have the ground stations approval and they have the space
15:53
approval. So, pretty cool, pretty cool.
15:57
For starlink there's a so the EU, you know, that's a that's a
16:01
thing. Have you heard about the channel
16:07
Common Sense? Skeptic.
16:08
I have not but I'll check that out after the show.
16:12
Bob break what's up man? Happy holidays man.
16:16
I didn't see the nro. Well launch.
16:18
I was busy Kyle. Me too me too.
16:20
I was busy and I didn't get to catch that until a little bit
16:23
later so I'm going to same boat as you man.
16:26
I had family stuff to do all morning so I didn't get to catch
16:29
it. It was at 9:00 in the morning,
16:31
nine ish in the morning here and I just couldn't do it.
16:35
So, I saw It's on my phone, but I couldn't actually like, sit
16:38
down and like, like, actually enjoy it right away.
16:43
So, I got you, I got you, man. Let's move on to some things.
16:50
Some Starship dates Starship, sn9 launch dates.
16:55
So they're not going to be using The sn8 Landing Pad.
17:00
They're going to use another pad.
17:02
I briefed that in a video that I've released last night and so
17:07
check that out. That has more like more in depth
17:11
about what they're going to be doing with this, you know, with
17:14
the pad and everything. But the sn8 pad is like it's
17:17
cratered like it's torn up so they can't land there and how
17:22
they're going to do that, how they're going to, you know.
17:25
Accomplish The sn9 Landing as they have another pad.
17:29
That's pretty much it. They don't have to fix the first
17:31
one. In order to land this thing.
17:33
They have another pad pad to so sn9 is going to land on pad to
17:38
when it actually launches in the best way to figure out when sn9
17:43
launches is usually through road closures for camera County.
17:48
And as you can see here today, tomorrow Wednesday, we have all
17:54
these dates. Or road closures.
17:58
It's not going to launch today, probably gonna get out to the
18:03
pad tomorrow or Wednesday and you know, some of these these
18:09
road closures are for probably cleanup Crews as well because
18:12
they have to bring in big trucks to move all this stuff around.
18:15
So there's probably probably closures and they have to haul
18:18
some stuff away probably to. So and big cranes.
18:22
They have to have a big crane available for sn9.
18:25
So sn9, probably not going to launch, probably not going to do
18:30
much this week, probably moving out to the pad.
18:34
Maybe do some initial testing but we have other days, 28th,
18:42
29th, and the 30th of next week. I'm the reason why we're not
18:46
having more for like this week, is because it's the holidays,
18:50
and like I said, before Boca Chica everybody else down there
18:55
has As a little holiday break. So there's not as many people
19:01
the on the site as usual. So, probably next week we'll get
19:08
we might get a moove, sn9 to the pad to this week, which we
19:12
probably will, we probably will by Wednesday and then, you know
19:17
we'll get some start. Getting some tests next week.
19:20
Maybe a static fire pressure tests Etc, probably next week.
19:24
So one, static fire this week, ranked Supreme.
19:28
Maybe I mean, if they if they really do it, I mean if they
19:31
really push it and they get us in nine out to the pad today,
19:34
Day. they could really push it out to a You know, to a static
19:40
fire this week, but I don't think they will.
19:42
I think they're going to have to do a bunch of other, you know,
19:47
prerequisite testing and things like that.
19:49
And make, I mean, I don't even think the bottom fin is on yet.
19:54
I haven't seen anything. Any updates about that, it's
19:56
actually like, on the ship yet, because it was crumpled in the,
20:00
in the wreckage. So, see if I can find a picture
20:04
of that, Real quick. There's there's a rumpled fin on
20:10
the bottom there. I don't have a picture of it off
20:13
the top of my head or off the top of my tabs here.
20:19
Oh, and also, speaking of star ship, we have a really cool
20:23
shirt in the shop. This is the Starship sn9 belly
20:27
flop. Oh no not again shirt.
20:31
This is the this is the sticker but it's sn8 belly flop.
20:37
So if you're familiar with Hitchhiker's Guide to the
20:39
Galaxy, kind of a nod to that. Oh no, not again, not again,
20:46
Shut Up. And Take My Money.
20:47
And if you exactly, that's yeah. Anil design, S2.
20:53
So you can get it delivered Before Christmas with super rush
20:55
shipping so we don't I don't physically deliver these myself.
20:59
We get to made through Teespring and you know, they do all the
21:03
shipping and things so I think there's going to be a small
21:06
image. Yeah, it's the same size as
21:08
like, this might be cool. We could come.
21:09
I mean I might be able to show it.
21:11
Let me see if I can zoom in. You can see any man, not, you
21:14
can kind of see. It looks like that.
21:20
Petunias. Oh, no, not again.
21:22
And then instead of whale, it's a sn8, pretty cool.
21:27
We have another shirt coming out to, and a little Ode to 42 to
21:32
engine 42 for sna to. So, that's the thing that we're
21:36
working on is. Well, measure will showing up at
21:39
your door, right? I think I'll creepy with that.
21:41
Be Blake. Oh hey.
21:45
Here you go just hand. You a like a package package
21:48
full of shirts. And Starship fall faster than
21:52
the pot in hours. I think it.
21:55
I think they, they fall. Similarly, when you can only
21:59
fall certain, I think they actually actually fell as fast
22:05
as they can fall last time, so they got that all checked off
22:08
the, off the list to Disney. Eddie, what's up, man?
22:14
I'm getting an Amazon gift card. Do you guys sell through Amazon?
22:17
No, we don't. We sell through Teespring.
22:21
I'm not sure if you can check out through Amazon.
22:23
Let me see. let me see real quick because you might be able
22:28
to check out through Amazon Now it's PayPal or cards only.
22:37
Super rush shipping is 1599 but you'll get it before Christmas.
22:43
So yeah, pretty cool. Pretty cool.
22:46
I thought I was going to bring up all my credit card
22:48
information, but, you know, and so that's why I clicked off that
22:53
screen, the pot would fall faster the flaps.
22:56
Oh, yeah, true, true. True Good call me.
23:00
You see, Neil design that whole thing.
23:03
It is a cool shirt. I'm pretty stoked on it.
23:06
The 49 shirt that's coming into, that's coming in hot.
23:09
That'll be up. Next, we have, you know it's not
23:12
just sure it's all sorts of, you know, stickers and sweatshirts
23:16
and long sleeve tees. All sorts of goodies phone
23:19
cases, think the phone cases, pretty and the cup the mug.
23:23
There, one school, another phone case, that's where Samsung,
23:26
that's for an iPhone. So yeah, we're getting a little
23:28
bit of merch. A little bit of extra merch
23:30
doing our own, our own specific things.
23:33
You know, instead of, you know, you know, we're being creative
23:38
with it because and we're having fun with it too.
23:42
Could we have a situation with sm9 like we had with sn6 where
23:45
they try to get from being put on the pad to launch as soon as
23:49
possible? I mean the great thing and also
23:54
the bad thing about space X is that you never know.
23:58
So like they could I mean Andy line is said in a tweet like
24:02
that's like the nro L 108 launch was I don't have to treat handy
24:07
but the and rol 108 launch was the last launch of this year.
24:11
So it's possible that they could just be like, well, let's give
24:17
everybody a break, you know more than likely, that's what's going
24:21
to happen. They're going to give everybody
24:22
a break down in Boca Chica, did a great job with, sne take some
24:26
time for the holidays. I go hang out with your family
24:32
and, you know, they could. I mean, I'm not, I'm not going
24:37
to put it out of the realm of possibility.
24:38
They could, they could sew. Anything's possible with them,
24:45
anything's possible by Brick. Did anyone see the angry
24:48
astronaut show yesterday about the common sense guy?
24:51
Oh man. I caught the literally, the very
24:54
last five minutes of it Ike. I tuned in a little bit too late
24:58
like out the last five minutes and I was like well I gotta go
25:00
watch that today. I didn't watch it.
25:02
Bob was a good. I was so angry astronaut has a
25:06
great channel. So check out angry astronaut
25:09
when you get a chance. Yeah, he said means a lot of
25:14
things to SpaceX, right? Kyle.
25:16
Yeah, I mean ASAP could be like, let's get it out this week and
25:20
launch this thing and just like, whatever it's asinine is
25:22
probably gonna blow up. Anyway, it tilted over in the
25:24
high Bay. Yeah.
25:31
There's a lot to go over before they really need to have it on
25:34
the pad January. Yeah, Kyle, I agree with you
25:37
January, seems like a better, they need this, they need to
25:41
take the time to do it, right? You know, that's one thing that
25:43
SpaceX is good at is they've had a history of like working really
25:48
hard breaking stuff, blowing stuff up and then kind of, you
25:53
know, stepping back and learning from their mistakes, you know?
25:55
That's the, that's the key to base.
25:58
Isis success. Is that Not only do they blow
26:02
stuff up and they don't mind failures, they don't mind
26:06
failures at all. They actually like it, they're
26:08
all Engineers there. So the, you know, the next phase
26:14
for these guys is to just go do it, you know, go do it.
26:18
But do it safely because they don't want to ruin millions of
26:20
dollars of Hardware to, you know, like what are they going
26:23
to get, if the thing blows up too quick.
26:25
So so, you know, they have to fix the flaps, make sure they
26:31
all work right, you know, they're probably going to do
26:33
flap tests for a couple days, you know, you know, they're
26:36
going to do flap tests not for a couple days but they'll do them
26:39
on one day and then they'll probably be pressure test
26:42
possibly the same day. Then static fires.
26:45
They'll probably do a few static fires and then, you know,
26:49
they'll get ready for launch and everything.
26:51
So there's a kind of a process to this whole thing.
26:55
And during launch days it gets really really crazy down there.
27:00
So they have you know they have a couple years before they go to
27:03
the Moon with dear Moon. So hopefully you know hopefully
27:07
they can get that in in in the bag soon because even though
27:12
we're like right at the beginning, super heavy stacking
27:16
sh1. So super heavy stacking hasn't
27:21
flown yet that still has to fly, that'll fly this or in January
27:24
or not. Did we're after January at some
27:26
point. Probably I'm thinking March for
27:30
super heavy flight for the first top.
27:32
I think I would love to say February but I think they have a
27:36
lot of other stuff going on down there too.
27:37
And I just don't, I don't know if they don't if they have time
27:41
to do all that stuff that they have like they star like our
27:45
Starship launches, right? They have all the SN SN 10 after
27:48
sm9 and then they also have to stack super heavy.
27:51
But it's just you know you think about it is it's just a tube.
27:57
Yeah, so the it's just a tube but it's a gigantic tube but
28:04
they're going to have to hop that higher.
28:06
Hop higher, hop, higher hop, you know, and then get all that
28:09
stuff, ready before they actually launched people into
28:12
space. It's going to be it's going to
28:14
be a wild ride for the next five years.
28:15
I think we're going to get dear moon in 5 years. 2 years is
28:18
really fast. Two years is really fast.
28:21
Be in 14 booster. Oh yeah, Dougal good call.
28:24
Good call. Yeah, they're running on Ilan
28:28
time, right? It's just go.
28:29
Go, go, go, go. That's pretty much what they're
28:32
at. You know, they're always at like
28:34
the go, go, go. Let's just get this done.
28:37
Let's go for it. But yeah, dear Moon and two
28:42
years maybe sooner. I don't know how they have to
28:44
have a bunch. You think being one will do the
28:50
entire lunch, to 100K, what know, they have to hop it.
28:54
You think so? I think they have to hop it,
28:57
man. They gotta hop that thing a
28:59
couple times. So, let's think about this.
29:07
What about? What about blue origin?
29:11
What about new Glenn? Do you think new Glenn will
29:15
launch before fully stacked shot?
29:18
Starship because we don't know what's going on with new Glenn.
29:21
Like, we've had a couple new gland glimpses And I mean they
29:29
got the, they got the contract with NASA.
29:31
So they got this contract with NASA. - Awards launch Services
29:36
contract to Blue origin for new Glenn, launch services.
29:39
So this is pretty much a big deal.
29:43
It's kind of like a letter of intent, you know, if you can
29:47
make this thing, go to orbit and you can make it, you know,
29:50
reliable, we're going to give you contracts basically.
29:54
So this is from NASA, this is warded, NASA, launch services
29:57
and LS2 contract to Blue origin and their new Glenn launch
30:01
service in accordance with the contracts on-ramp.
30:02
Provision, the new And launch service will be available to
30:05
NASA's launch Services Program to use for future missions in
30:08
accordance with the on-ramp provision of an LS2 multiple
30:12
supplier. Multiple award, indefinite
30:15
delivery indefinite quantity, contract vehicle with an
30:19
ordering period through June of 2025, overall, period of
30:23
performance, through December, 20 2007.
30:26
So if they actually, Get new Glenn to work in the next year
30:33
or two like you get these contracts, the multi
30:37
multi-million dollar contracts. So I mean, they could be
30:41
launching things to Mars for NASA, that could be launching
30:45
people to the Moon. They could be launching supplies
30:47
to the mood or whatever, whatever, new Glenn, whatever
30:49
they want, new Glenn to do, they'll make new Glenn, do it.
30:54
And I'll give him the money that good NASA.
30:57
Money Nero 2006 has new Glenn will launch this year.
31:04
Wait, like the next week. I don't think it's gonna launch
31:09
this here. I mean, it felt if Nero if it
31:11
launches in the next like, what is it, how many days we have
31:15
left? We got like a week basically.
31:19
Yeah. We got like a week in a couple
31:20
days. So like 10 days I don't know, in
31:25
10 days of new Glenn. Launches us this year.
31:26
I'd be really pumped. Vanch will SpaceX ever start
31:32
their own Astronaut training program, apart from NASA?
31:35
Yeah, I think so. I think they will, I think they
31:37
might contract it out to somebody else, but I think
31:40
they're going to start it. I think they need to, I think
31:43
they need to because Starship is going to be launching people.
31:46
You know, hundreds possibly thousands of people to Mars and
31:50
the moon, Etc, the future, and they can't rely on.
31:53
Just NASA to supply them a lesson with astronauts.
31:56
So, yeah, I think they're going to do it themselves.
32:03
Make sure to tag me and all of your all your questions to do at
32:08
space news pod, not one word, space, one word news, another
32:15
word, and then pot, another word and I should be able to see them
32:17
easier. New Glenville launch next year,
32:20
okay? Okay.
32:21
That's better. I was like, dude, Ted days, no
32:24
way. The art of his crewmates were
32:27
announced maybe yesterday. Yeah, there's some there's some
32:31
NASA info about that. Where's it at?
32:36
Let's see here. Artemis.
32:40
Oh, this is cool too. This is a really cool thing.
32:43
That's kind of like a little side thing.
32:44
But I saw this in this is really, really cool because I'm
32:48
super excited about James Webb Telescope, the sunshield
32:53
successfully successfully successfully unfolds intentions,
32:57
in final tests. So that's really big milestone
33:01
for For the James Webb Telescope, which will peer into
33:08
the past of our universe, which is mind-blowing.
33:12
By the way mind-blowing, this is one of webs biggest
33:17
accomplishments and 2020. We were able to precisely
33:20
synchronize the unfolding Motion in a very slow and controlled
33:23
fashion in between is critical kite.
33:25
Like shape signifying. It is ready to perform these
33:28
actions in space. So another cool.
33:30
So okay so Starship new Glenn. Anybody any big rocket is going
33:36
to carry people? It's kind of coincide with this
33:40
in a way. So if we can show that SpaceX is
33:44
Starship or new Glenn, or any of the big rockets that have a
33:47
super heavy Rockets can launch people around the moon.
33:51
So this is this nuclear, you know, Glen the James Webb Space
33:57
Telescope is going to be on the other side of the moon, right?
34:00
It'll be in the LaGrange point, I believe.
34:04
I think that's right, but it's going to be on the other side of
34:07
the moon and we don't have access to it.
34:10
It's not like Hubble where we can launch the space shuttle up
34:12
there and have some daring astronauts go out and fix the
34:14
thing. But if we have a Starship that's
34:18
actually functional, we may be able to fix this.
34:21
If something goes wrong because if this if something goes wrong
34:24
with us and we don't have access to it, we can't fix it.
34:29
Like we can't get out there. So You know, the the fact that
34:36
they're actually this close to it and also Starship is getting
34:39
ready to launch. Like that's kind of, gives me
34:41
hope that. If something does go wrong they
34:43
could do a daring rescue of this thing and have some astronauts.
34:46
Go out there and fix it. I think that would be insane.
34:49
Debbie, insane. Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
34:55
It's going to be crazy. I hope this.
34:57
I hope that works. I hope this really works because
35:00
James Webb is amazing. You added a tweet.
35:04
Oh cool. Okay, let's see this.
35:06
This tweet. Yeah.
35:09
Thanks Neil. And live shows.
35:14
There it is. Okay.
35:19
Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, there it is.
35:24
Where is it at here? Why is it sending me a send me
35:31
to a weird thing? Let me there we go.
35:34
It just send me to it a different thing.
35:38
Bunch of stuff. There's a thread.
35:42
The end of this year. Just days away works at
35:44
announced dancing. Web is cleared one of the most
35:46
important Milestones. They it's five layers sunshield,
35:49
okay? So we already talked about that
35:50
final series of deployment checkouts test.
35:53
Before the observatory is packed in the shipment, the French
35:55
Guiana, the specific tests involve turning on and moving
35:59
139 different actuators and eight Motors along with the
36:03
thousands of other Once I going to get it this back here,
36:10
components unfold and stretch the five, membranes and
36:13
sunshield check this picture out.
36:15
That's going to see into the past of the universe.
36:20
Crazy, crazy. I have a James Webb t-shirt, I
36:23
should probably wear that sometime.
36:26
So here's an animation of the orbit.
36:29
Yeah, so it's going to be out. So it's an L2.
36:33
So it says the animation shows where web will be positioned in
36:36
space and how the sunshield will always contend with a bright Sun
36:40
that never sets by keeping it sensors and mirrors.
36:43
In the shade they are much more able to detect faint thermal
36:47
signals or signatures humans have never seen before.
36:51
So it's at the L2 point out here and The Shield's kind of How
36:59
crazy is this? So the shields are always
37:02
pointing towards the Sun so, it's kind of like Earth is kind
37:08
of in between Most of the time it seems like earth is most of
37:13
the time in between James Webb and the sun, you know.
37:18
But yeah there's a sunshield as you can see that's wicked.
37:23
That's so cool. That's so cool.
37:27
But how do you get out there? If something happens, right?
37:34
How do you get out there? Something happens.
37:35
You don't like not. Not right now.
37:37
You can't. We don't have anything to will
37:39
take us out there, Orion eventually.
37:42
But that's, you know, years away from being complete, probably
37:48
SLS, not quite yet. Yeah, not quite yet.
37:54
So yeah, there's a There's a, you know, there's a, there's a,
38:02
there's a risk involved with launching this.
38:06
So, It's nice to mitigate that risk, the grunge points just so
38:14
like. So I know he just asked about
38:16
this vanch but LaGrange points are.
38:20
Here's the Wikipedia of it, the garage points are orbital points
38:24
near two large Co orbiting bodies.
38:25
At the LaGrange points, the gravitational force of the two
38:29
large bodies cancel out in such a way that that was the old on A
38:38
small object placed in orbit, there is an equilibrium in at
38:41
least two directions relative, the center of mass and large
38:44
body. So basically as its orbiting
38:48
stays in its spot as it spins around Earth and Beyond the
38:53
Moon, is that Lee? Is that what I'll do is that
38:56
beyond the moon to is beyond the Moon instead?
38:59
Yeah. Then it'll stay there as opposed
39:04
to, you know, continuing to to go someplace else.
39:07
So it's sort of like a dead zone like a gravitational dead zone.
39:13
Sorta I guess it's the easiest way for me.
39:15
I'm not a I'm not astrophysicist so I not 100% sure but that's
39:20
kind of how I understand it, but it would be good for you to look
39:23
it up. That's all I'm saying is I'm not
39:26
that good at lagrangian right now and it's also what time is
39:31
it 12:42? So it's still early in the
39:33
morning. Still early in the morning.
39:40
I guess SP earned my like this money.
39:41
Thanks Kyle. Yeah, it's sort of it's sort of
39:44
like a dead zone. It's there still.
39:50
It's still orbits though. Yeah, it's a gravity Dead Zone.
39:53
Exactly, so nothing really affects it, but it also kind of
39:57
just hangs out there. what's the status of hls of other companies
40:04
who It's a good question. We're not sure.
40:10
Like that's that's the easiest way to say it.
40:13
We're not exactly sure. You know the it's a lot of them
40:17
are in secrecy SpaceX. They put it right out there in
40:21
that field like they put it. All right out there in the in
40:24
the parking lot. So we all know what's going on
40:26
there. Yeah, so, I hope, I really hope
40:33
that we can figure out a way to fix that thing.
40:35
If, if something goes wrong, so that being said, there are other
40:42
launches coming up, you know, coming up this year or next
40:47
year, I should say, in January of 2020.
40:51
Check this out and this is from next space flight.
40:57
Look at all these launches for next year and these are all to
40:59
be determined, you know, their net times net days.
41:03
But we have Turks at 5:00. A, it's a falcon 9 block, 5
41:07
January, fifth block 5 again, transporter 1 January 14th.
41:14
We also have to starlink missions in January.
41:16
They're going to continue to do two missions every month and
41:21
they also have the Prototype that right here the suborbital
41:24
high altitude test flight of Starship.
41:28
Sometime in January we're not sure the Sarah one and ride
41:31
shares for the Falcon 9 block 5 that's in February continues on
41:36
all pretty much all year long that 26 launches this year 2020.
41:41
So 2021 maybe even bigger because they're going to
41:46
continue doing starlink and they're going to keep pushing
41:48
those out is, you know, just continuously push out starlink
41:52
launches because they need the need the money to keep funding.
41:57
Starship and it's going to be billions of dollars going to be
42:00
billions of dollars for Starship.
42:02
So, I'm really excited. Of course, I'm excited about the
42:06
Starship launch and also all the starlink launches because I know
42:10
that's going to that's going to fund everything.
42:12
All these other ones to Cape Canaveral SLC 40 launches.
42:16
But there's one from Vandenberg, here we go, the Sarah one, this
42:21
one right here, Vandenberg always has really great
42:23
Landings. So yeah, So that's a that's
42:28
going to be a really good one. This one right here.
42:30
Falcon 9 block, 501. Thanks for whoever just bought
42:34
something on the store to. I don't know why the alerts
42:36
aren't working but thank you so much for that.
42:38
Thank you for all the support so that's going to be in Vandenberg
42:43
and there's another one down here, Kennedy Space, Center's.
42:47
All it's always cool to. But this is a crew to Mission.
42:50
This is March 30th ich of 2021 depending on launch days.
42:56
Etc. And what happens in between
42:59
them. But yeah, roo-roo to, which is
43:02
going to be happening next year. And then there's going to be
43:04
crew, three of you to send out the astronauts for that.
43:07
So cool. So, exciting to see this stuff
43:09
happen in, you know, in the next couple of years, like how crazy
43:13
and Falcon heavy, we might see another how Falcon heavy
43:16
launched in May from Kennedy Space Center.
43:19
That's going to be insane if I can have.
43:20
These are so cool. The Landings are so cool.
43:23
I love that thing. Where's the crew?
43:25
3? Yeah.
43:27
So anyway there's a there's a bunch of stuff going on for next
43:31
year for SpaceX, a lot of launch is going on.
43:34
Kyle Falcon, heavy is the coolest.
43:36
I mean Starship was pretty cool, but Falcon, heavy is pretty cool
43:39
as a fully. Functional operational,
43:41
heavy-lift rocket Falcon. Heavy is amazing.
43:45
It's like the landing man. The landing of Falcon.
43:48
Have you the boosters if they land?
43:50
All three, holy cow. Man, it's going to be crazy.
43:55
Happy Christmas. Andy.
43:57
Happy Christmas. Happy holidays, everyone.
44:01
So cool to see the five plan for March, in 54 May really started
44:05
to pick up. Yeah, I hope they lock.
44:08
They hope they break the launch record because this Heroes 26.
44:11
Right? Is that right?
44:12
26, 25 26. And hopefully they get more than
44:16
that next year. And that doesn't count all the
44:19
stars links. So, Do The Landings of Falcon
44:25
heavy NASA actually has some really cool.
44:30
Whoops, really cool. Videos of Falcon heavy Landings.
44:39
Let me see here. It's scrub to these real quick
44:45
from the initial. They have some isolated views.
44:51
I think. There we go.
44:54
This one right here. Check this out.
45:00
This is kind of a Kendall side topic because Falcon heavy is
45:04
Brad, but they have the isolated views.
45:08
You don't usually see on their live streams.
45:31
25 seconds into flight. T minus 15 seconds.
45:36
Nine, eight, seven. Yeah, check out images.
45:40
Five, four, three, two, one. Isn't all those people chanting
45:53
Images that are currently next event coming up.
46:00
Sorry but there's a bunch if you search for How Can I Endure
46:03
Falcon heavy? You can see on the left and
46:06
right side boosters have ignited the center for continues Under
46:11
full power. Everything watch this.
46:15
This is so cool. Good beers are the two side
46:18
boosters under the first A380 together slowing down.
46:21
The velocity and coming back towards Cape Canaveral coming in
46:25
half hours.
46:52
Burn has completed before the call-out for sale.
47:19
That's it. We're just living in the future.
47:22
That's all I gotta say about that.
47:24
This like went who thought this was ever going to happen?
47:30
Yeah, Whoever thought this is really going to happen because I
47:33
didn't think I was going to really happen in my lifetime.
47:35
I was like, well, I'm going to keep doing the same old thing.
47:39
You know, and yeah, it's a it's cool that we get to witness in
47:44
booster to, Bro, racing to the pan.
47:46
I can land faster rank. I'll exactly exactly what's
47:50
reach, March Mars, establish a colony, then what would be next
47:53
for space exploration? We can't go further due to
47:55
nature of planets. Boo, that's a really good
47:58
question, moons moons of planets that might be a good Next Step.
48:05
Also we don't have to go there. We can send robots to other
48:07
places. So, So you know, the the fact
48:11
that we can get to Mars and send people to Mars, that's great.
48:14
But from Mars, we can use that as sort of like a like a jumping
48:17
point we can use that as sort of like a Mars base where, you
48:22
know, you could launch your Starship or any other super
48:25
heavy booster to tomorrow's land it refuel in situations and then
48:32
continue on you know continue on out you know into the outer
48:37
solar system and check out Other, you know, moons of giant
48:41
planets of the gas planet. So it's going to be crazy.
48:47
How crazy? Europa?
48:49
Yeah. Tighten your rope.
48:50
Exactly. Exactly.
48:54
Yeah. It's gonna be so cool.
48:57
This is so unfortunately, this stuff takes a lot of time.
49:02
So I probably won't see us have a base on Mars, that's launching
49:09
and Landing vehicles. And also, you know, launching
49:13
things to the outer solar system until like we figure out how to
49:16
mine asteroids. Because once that happens,
49:18
there's going to be money in it. And these corporations like the
49:21
bigger bigger corporations or people that want to make money
49:24
and mind these things. Yeah, they're going to make a
49:26
ton of money through that. What is s N9 going to launch?
49:31
Says skm mid-January. Probably first.
49:36
Probably second week of January. I'm thinking somewhere around
49:40
there maybe first week, possible possible, first week, but
49:45
probably second week in January that, that is going to be a cool
49:51
cool time too. We got a couple things for me
49:55
line as well. A couple tweets from Elon, check
49:57
this out and I says, thanks to everyone who worked so hard to
50:01
make Tesla successful. My heart goes out to you.
50:04
Very nice thing for him to say some CEOs and I just realized
50:17
Elon musk's new profile. Says, former CEO of Dogecoin.
50:23
Don't know what Dogecoin is. It's like a meme cryptocurrency.
50:27
But, anyway, didn't have to say this stuff, you know, he doesn't
50:33
have to say this stuff. Most CEOs, they send out like a
50:35
form letter that was written by their secretary or something.
50:38
You know, somebody in their PR, you know, HR people or whatever
50:42
it was like, happy holidays to death, whatever Ilan to said,
50:46
thanks to everyone who works so hard to make Tesla's to that
50:48
successful. My heart goes out to you.
50:49
It's very sweet. Very sweet thing to say, So that
50:54
in the Dogecoin thing just got me, then he has another thing.
50:57
I love all you crazy people out there.
51:00
So, you know, at this time when we've been through such a, you
51:04
know, such a weird year, the Elan comes through at the end
51:08
somebody who's super successful and it doesn't have to say these
51:12
things like he just says, hey, you know, thanks for helping me
51:16
out. Thanks for being weird.
51:17
That's a really nice thing for him to say.
51:19
And, you know, those, those kind of things go A on way for people
51:24
who work with you, I know because I've been a companies
51:29
where the CEO doesn't care or where CEO is just like cares
51:35
they're just workers you know. And but with him saying you know
51:39
hey I care about you guys. Thanks for all the help, that's
51:41
really nice. Yeah, I think I think it's going
51:47
to be a crazy crazy 2021 in regards to space exploration
51:52
because there's a lot of there's a lot of If that can happen.
51:58
Yeah, I can't wait. So I think I think next up we'll
52:03
see you next time. 9 launch mid-January.
52:07
You'd Rockets coming in 2021. We got new Glenn.
52:14
We got Vulcan we get, you know, Starship of course.
52:19
But also what else is next? You know, Ono's after Starship
52:27
super heavy. Super super duper Starship,
52:31
right? And then we move forward and we
52:34
make bases on Mars and we go out to the outer solar system and we
52:38
just keep going. Pretty interesting.
52:41
Pretty interesting time. We are living in right now.
52:44
I also want to say, thanks to everybody who subscribed today.
52:47
You know, we're at a pretty good spot right now to end out the
52:51
year. Where at Fifty-four thousand
52:53
seven hundred and seven were trying to make it to 55,000
52:56
before the end of the year. So we're really really close to
52:59
50 5050, 4700 7 so we need like 300 ish, people to subscribe to
53:05
get the 55,000. That's my goal.
53:07
Like that's a pretty cool girl to meet and I'm really, really
53:11
excited and really happy that everyone's support the show and
53:14
continues to support the show and keeps coming back and super
53:16
