- 0:04I live for the studio today. Heading down to Starbase.
- 0:06Hopefully later today the wind is atrocious is why you to know
- 0:10that wind is horrible? Let's just let's just call it.
- 0:13I don't need it anymore. I think I'm pretty set up.
- 0:16You know what it's podcast. I don't have to be perfect.
- 0:19The newscast, let's go for this. Let's go for this.
- 0:23Yeah. Paul Harvey, what's up man?
- 0:25Stargazer grow, welcome back to Boca Chica soon.
- 0:28Welcome back to Starbase Soon, Michael, with the new, News
- 0:31coming in hot. Dang.
- 0:33You got like a whole new show right there.
- 0:35That's amazing. I'm just going to read your.
- 0:37I'm just going to read your chat.
- 0:39Then I'll be like that's the show, but you always Michaels
- 0:43like you, you always come in hot with a news, so I'm I'm excited.
- 0:47I love, I love that your interactive like that.
- 0:49It's so cool Alessandra. How's it going?
- 0:51Nancy Davis. I am starting now because you're
- 0:53here, I'm starting now because you're here.
- 0:56Michael said, SpaceX KSC is busy assembling all the olap.
- 1:01S were calling in the bridge crane to stack them, while the
- 1:04foundation hardens work on the launch table Foundation should
- 1:07be underway as well. It took a long time for that to
- 1:11harden here at Boca Chica so I'm not sure how long it's going to
- 1:17take them if they have a different mix or anything like
- 1:19that, as far as the carpet goes, or if they're going to lay more
- 1:22concrete there. But I'm hoping they get this
- 1:27thing done as soon as possible. I think that'd be amazing.
- 1:29What's up chard? What's up Bob?
- 1:31Bob drink, how you doing? Welcome back everybody.
- 1:34So we're going to be talking about some space X, star ship
- 1:37stuff coming up. We're talking about a little bit
- 1:40of NASA, a little bit of X1, the ax 1 and Perpetual nerd, what's
- 1:45up? And other various things just
- 1:48mixed in here. So yeah, let's just let's just
- 1:52talk about stuff, it's easiest that way, right?
- 1:55It's the best way to do it. So, first and foremost, welcome
- 1:58everybody. If you're new here, make sure to
- 2:00subscribe. Sure, to give this a like, if
- 2:03you're into space flight, because I do these every Monday
- 2:06and Friday. Sometimes, Wednesday at noon,
- 2:08CST from Brownsville about 20 miles from 2025 miles from
- 2:15Starbase Texas. Where SpaceX is building the
- 2:17Starship and I went down there yesterday and it was windy.
- 2:23It was ridiculous for the first time ever in my I don't know how
- 2:29long I've been here. Seven, eight months, whatever. /
- 2:32I had to wear face protection because the wind was blowing
- 2:37sand. So hard at my face.
- 2:41That I couldn't open my eyes. It was crazy 30.
- 2:45It was like 30 knots. I think it was maybe 35 40 miles
- 2:48an hour in some gusts. So I was wearing like I was
- 2:52wearing a mask. I was taking some wear
- 2:54sunglasses and I was like, when I took those things off, I was
- 2:57squinting and I couldn't see I was like this.
- 3:00So it's a Environment to work in and me, I was only there for a
- 3:05little bit, you know. Like I'm not there all day with
- 3:07that. Like everybody else it's
- 3:08building the Rockets. I'm there for x amount of hours,
- 3:13you know, an hour to get some you know, and I got the, I got
- 3:19this, I guess he had blasted, it's crazy.
- 3:21But people were working, you know, there weren't that many
- 3:23people working because it's a Sunday and usually down at
- 3:25Starbase, there aren't a ton of people working.
- 3:28They have sort of a skeleton crew and they kind of do what
- 3:31they To do for the upcoming week and they get everything ready,
- 3:36you know, for the for the testing that's going to be
- 3:39happening in the next few days down there at Starbase and they
- 3:42have some road closures, coming up in your talk about that.
- 3:46But there's there's some some updates for booster 7 and
- 3:52booster 8 that I think may be of interest to some people.
- 3:57It's interesting to me because like they The iterate these
- 4:02designs so fast that you never know what's going to be next,
- 4:07right? So you got the, you got
- 4:09everything that's there right now.
- 4:11And in a few weeks, there's going to be a new one of the
- 4:14thing that's there. So, booster 7.
- 4:17It's, you know, it needs some engines and need some testing.
- 4:21And booster 8 is basically it's pretty close to a clone of
- 4:25booster rate or booster 7. And it's, it's very similar the
- 4:30welding. I've seen the Thing I've looked
- 4:33welding, booster 7. And there are some parts of the
- 4:36metal that are sort of wrinkly if that makes sense.
- 4:39If that I didn't, unfortunately, I didn't get it on film because
- 4:44I was in the wrong spot to get that, but I've seen it as I've
- 4:47been down. There has been walking around.
- 4:49I didn't have my camera on me, but some of the parts of the
- 4:51metal looked good in those parts that were just like a little bit
- 4:56little bit off. So that being said, Booster 7
- 5:02might not be the booster that SpaceX launches to orbit for
- 5:06their first orbital flight test, which should be coming up
- 5:10according to Elon. And may, we know, he'll on time,
- 5:14everybody knows he'll on time, and Ilan time is never correct.
- 5:18So, Let's just, let's just say maybe elon's wrong about this
- 5:24one. Let's just say that, you know,
- 5:25maybe maybe lines a little bit wrong.
- 5:27So here this road closures to, for this week, there was a
- 5:31primary date set for Monday. The road closure was canceled
- 5:35for today, not sure why we don't know exactly why it was closed.
- 5:40The winds are still kicking up, there's some bad weather.
- 5:44Let me see. Actually, let me check this real
- 5:46quick, just to make sure that I have the weather.
- 5:52Proper. But we do have, you know, we
- 5:53have high winds today, hazardous weather outlook for today.
- 5:58And let's see. There's current rip currents
- 6:01High, rip High Tides, elevated risk of high, winds Breezy and
- 6:09Gusty, Southwest winds 20 to 25 miles an hour with gusts of up
- 6:14to 40 miles per hour. So we have some high winds today
- 6:17could be one of the reasons why they postponed the testing.
- 6:21It could be Tuesday sunny and Breezy high of 87.
- 6:25So the weather for this week is looking better, looking hot
- 6:30Wednesday. It's going to be 97 degrees
- 6:33here. That's hot, 97 degrees superhot
- 6:38Thursday, 87 degrees, that's tolerable, you know, at the
- 6:42night time it's about 72. So sometimes they get it already
- 6:45during the day and then they test her in the night.
- 6:48Sometimes they test throughout the day all this week it's going
- 6:50to be around 90 degrees or higher.
- 6:52So if you're planning a visit, I know.
- 6:56The Stargazer girl was planning a visit, bring your sunscreen
- 7:00bring a lot of water and a bring Appropriate clothing for the
- 7:06weather because it is, it's hot here.
- 7:11Yeah, it's for me being a Northeast guy.
- 7:15I'm like, 97°. Really, like you want me to go
- 7:17outside? You want me to go outside, do
- 7:20anything? No, I'm going out later tonight.
- 7:22You know, I'm going out later in the night.
- 7:24I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna hang out in the sun all day long
- 7:26because I'll burn up. So the weather could be a factor
- 7:34today. Winds are so ghastly that maybe
- 7:36they didn't want to chance it, I don't know the everything seems
- 7:41okay. But knots of up to 40 miles an
- 7:43hour, you know, 40-mile 45 mile an hour winds could be a factor
- 7:47of them canceling that or they just weren't ready.
- 7:50So tomorrow we have road closures, you know, we have road
- 7:54closures from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday & Wednesday also.
- 7:59So, over the weekend, they were connecting GSE lines to
- 8:04boosters. Seven.
- 8:04So it looks like they're going to be doing some testing on
- 8:06booster 7 coming up soon. Some structural testing it looks
- 8:10like they're going to be doing sir, pressure testing maybe
- 8:12we'll do some more cryo testing soon, we'll see.
- 8:15But also maybe booster 7 isn't the one maybe booster 7 is a
- 8:19kind of a Pathfinder for booster 8 and that's what I want to
- 8:22touch on a little bit. Is that booster 7 to base rate
- 8:25are very, very similar. Booster 7, a booster, 8 are, you
- 8:29know, they're pretty much the same booster.
- 8:32Booster, 8 has some refinements that A little bit better and
- 8:36there's a few rings missing from booster eight right now.
- 8:39So they could possibly do Boost her seven testing just to kind
- 8:43of path find for booster 8 and then move was straight down to
- 8:47the launch site. You know if it's a better model
- 8:49there's no reason for them to hold back because booster 9 is
- 8:53right around the corner. They test a booster 7.
- 8:55See, what's wrong with it. Maybe there's something wrong
- 8:57with it. Maybe everything's perfect.
- 8:59Who knows? But booster seven maybe isn't
- 9:02perfect. So The move on from booster 72.
- 9:06Booster 8 and use this as just a, you know, Pathfinder for
- 9:11booster 8 and future boosters. So I'm looking around here and
- 9:14I'm trying to find. There we go.
- 9:15Booster 8 pretty close, you know, pretty close facsimile to
- 9:22booster 7. So the it's possible.
- 9:26It's really possible that booster 8 and booster 7 gets
- 9:29switched out eventually and I know you'll on wants to fly in
- 9:33May. What's the fly?
- 9:35The orbital flight test in May, but if they going to be
- 9:38switching out, booster seven and eight.
- 9:40They still have to build booster 8, that takes a few weeks, and
- 9:45then they have to test it, which takes a month.
- 9:48Maybe. So looking to June June, July,
- 9:53something like that, April, May, because we're beginning of
- 9:55April. What I like April 11th right
- 9:57now. So April 11th, if they build
- 10:00out, booster 8, still, let's give it.
- 10:03Let's just say roughly, Roughly a month to boost up to test
- 10:06booster 7 to build up. Booster ain't about another
- 10:09month, so maybe middle of May for booster 8 to be completely
- 10:14ready. They move booster 8 down middle
- 10:17of May April, or May 15th. And then they have to test
- 10:21booster 84 a month by then boost our nine is, you know, it's
- 10:28already going to be done by then, so why wouldn't they?
- 10:31So it seems like an endless cycle of boosters Being upgraded
- 10:36and moved to move to the launch site.
- 10:39But if they're, if they made any significant upgrades to booster
- 10:438 and boost or nine which we haven't seen yet everything on
- 10:47booster 9, we've seen most of it, you know, most of booster
- 10:50booster 8 so what they're going to be doing with it.
- 10:53But the, if there's, if there's any reason why they should skip
- 10:58booster 7 to go to booster 8, then I think they're just going
- 11:01to skip those 47. I think they're just going to go
- 11:04Stray from booster 72, booster a and that's just my, you know,
- 11:08this is my hot take on stuff and I was down there this weekend
- 11:10and like I said, there was a skeleton crew down there.
- 11:12There were some people down there but not every, you know,
- 11:14there wasn't a full wasn't like a full run of employees down.
- 11:19There's a few people here and there, there are people at the
- 11:25bottom of booster for, they were inspecting something and there
- 11:28were people at ship 20, which I'm not sure we're going to be
- 11:31doing ship 20. So the other day, I was down at
- 11:36Starship or a Starbase, sorry at the construction site and they
- 11:40were doing some road work. And I went down there yesterday
- 11:43and the roads were still ripped up and there's a big big lump in
- 11:48the road as you go down towards the construction site from
- 11:53Highway for. If you coming from Brownsville
- 11:55into into the production site, there's a little bump going down
- 12:01in a bump, going up, or bump going down, either one because
- 12:04they ripped Up the road, there's a bump in and out of that
- 12:06construction, so they might not be moving.
- 12:10Booster booster for and shipped, 22.
- 12:16This show is brought to you by backblaze.
- 12:19I use backblaze to back up my podcast.
- 12:21My video files, all of my writing stuff, and all my

- 12:59and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
- 13:02hard drive and then you ship it back in.
- 13:04You don't ever pay for it, which is the perfect program for
- 13:07somebody who has huge files and you don't want to waste days and

- 13:13And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
- 13:15files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
- 13:18history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
- 13:22Files comes in super handy. So seven dollars plus two
- 13:25dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.

- 14:29Garden anytime soon just because that road is ripped up.
- 14:34That's possible. You know, maybe they'll get it
- 14:36done to the next. It didn't look like that much
- 14:38construction going on, so maybe they didn't dig down too much,
- 14:42so maybe they'll get that repaved in the next week or so.
- 14:45So we might see some movement a booster for and ship 20 in the
- 14:48next week to just like move them out of there.
- 14:51So be on the lookout for that. That's for the for the next for
- 14:56the next week. This is a worker at the stage
- 15:01zero there. He's just walking around.
- 15:03I don't know exactly what he did.
- 15:04Did I didn't see it can't really see from the footage but just
- 15:09walked around did one thing? And then went back, it's pretty.
- 15:13It's pretty cool to see, you know that sometimes there's just
- 15:17like there's not a lot of stuff going on.
- 15:21But behind the scenes, there's a ton of stuff going on.
- 15:23Like that guy could have done. Could hit a button, you know,
- 15:26could have flipped a switch or whatever, you know, in fixed 10
- 15:30things, but we're not exactly sure what he did.
- 15:34I looked over it with a few friends and they're like, oh,
- 15:38these are people that go down to Starbase and hang out a star
- 15:41because there's hoppy to, by the way.
- 15:43I know some of you guys like hoppy.
- 15:44So I decided that when I was down there, it was a really good
- 15:48idea to film happy for a little bit.
- 15:50I love happy, man. It's just, it's so 1950s sci-fi.
- 15:55When you go down there, it really is.
- 15:57It's like they're building. This crazy sci-fi World down
- 16:00there, and yeah, happy It's just it's so cool.
- 16:06I can't get over happy, I love it but it's big.
- 16:09You know some people some people think you know happy happy is
- 16:12kind of small but you know because we've seen videos and in
- 16:16the videos it's like it's a Faraway thing you know like
- 16:18happy is not that big in the videos so you see happy flying
- 16:25through the air but the thing is gigantic the thing is huge.
- 16:30So you try passing you're like Whoa man this thing's huge Pat
- 16:34big On the wall, you know, it's just, it's a big thing.
- 16:37So I thought it would be fun to get a little bit of footage of
- 16:39happy for you guys. Always thinking about the show,
- 16:42I was thinking about you guys, there's booster 7, the other
- 16:45reason why I think booster 7 might just be Pathfinder is
- 16:48because there's they didn't put on the grid fans yet and I would
- 16:57assume they put on the Griffins before they moved it down there.
- 16:59Unless there's unless they're going to move it back to the bay
- 17:01and put them back on. But there's no real reason to
- 17:03move it back. And forth like that because it
- 17:06takes, I mean, it takes a couple hours to move it back there, but
- 17:10I get, I mean, I don't know, I guess it depends on what their
- 17:13schedule is and how they how they, how they put everything
- 17:17together. But if they move booster seven
- 17:19down there for all, this testing for 23 weeks, then they move it
- 17:22back to the bay, to put the grid, fins on, or if they put
- 17:24the Griffins on, you know, maybe they could probably put the
- 17:26Griffins on possibly at the launch site with a crane, but I
- 17:32don't think they're going to be moving it back anytime soon.
- 17:34Do move it back. They're going to bring booster
- 17:36it down in its place so it hits Ted brand by bring says happy
- 17:42has so much personality. And Michael Maxie says happy
- 17:45need some Rust treatment badly. Yeah, 100% that thing is looking
- 17:49nasty. Now it gets pelted with sand all
- 17:52day long. Like that's that's one of the
- 17:53things that I was talking about earlier, the, the sand and like,
- 17:57the abrasiveness of that environment is it's gnarly.
- 18:02Sometimes, like, I don't even know.
- 18:04Any other words there was to describe it but it is gnarly
- 18:07even late at night when it's like, peaceful and calm and it's
- 18:11really nice. It's like 70 degrees with a
- 18:14slight breeze in your like, this is perfect.
- 18:17Like this is the perfect weather and you can smell the Gulf of
- 18:20Mexico and it's like you can smell the water.
- 18:23It's so good. I can smell the beach and also
- 18:26like there's no you can't really smell SpaceX.
- 18:29You like it doesn't really have a, they're not burning anything,
- 18:32it's not like rubber or like gasoline.
- 18:34Clean or anything like that. It's very clean down there.
- 18:37Still it does have a distinct smell because it's closed.
- 18:40Like I said to the gulf but also down there.
- 18:43Late at night, it gets windy and sand is just shooting
- 18:46everywhere. And also these things have been
- 18:49out in the sun for, you know, how he's been out there for a
- 18:52long time. So, You know the fact that you
- 19:00know, one of the things that's cool is the fact that SpaceX and
- 19:03Starbase, you know, it's not that smelly I was assuming as I
- 19:07was coming down here because I've been in, I've been
- 19:09environments where it's you know, construction I've been in
- 19:13you know, where they're building houses which also smells good to
- 19:15me because all the all the raw wood but also, you know, where
- 19:19they're burning tires and stuff like that.
- 19:21Like, that's nasty, that's gnarly or when they're burning
- 19:23oil or fuel or whatever. But SpaceX doesn't smell Like
- 19:26that. So but it's also gnarly because
- 19:29the sun is out and it's beating down it like 100 degrees every
- 19:34day. Chard baby.
- 19:36Thanks for becoming part of the cosmo crew, but that puts wear
- 19:41and tear on something like happy or something like a booster or
- 19:46ship 20 over time. So I think they, I think they
- 19:50just need a little bit of time to fix that road and I think
- 19:53they need to get the, you know, They need to continue working on
- 19:58booster 74, what they need it for.
- 19:59And then there I think they're going to ditch it and go to
- 20:01booster rate to be honest with you.
- 20:05Yeah so that's the I think that's the plan going forward.
- 20:08So this yeah like I was saying this is just it's a it's a
- 20:12gnarly place down there and I really hope that they move on
- 20:15from 7 to 8 and ship 24. 24/7 would have been cool to launch
- 20:23but 24 8 or 9 Fine that is catchy but still, it might work.
- 20:32Bob breakouts watching the documents we can.
- 20:34And then they started talking about a possible leak a bit
- 20:36nervous until they got it figured out.
- 20:38Yeah, I heard about that too. And the leak.
- 20:40You know, it was it wasn't super big of a deal I guess would be a
- 20:46good way to say it so the it was just a cautionary kind of thing
- 20:52so we can get into that a little bit too.
- 20:53Let's talk about ax, 1 Mission. So here's Little, here's little
- 20:57tweet from NASA. Where was it?
- 21:01I got a scroll down here for it. I guess I lost the tweet.
- 21:06I would go X1 Mission from axioms face with four astronauts
- 21:09aboard the SpaceX dragon and ever docked to the station today
- 21:12at 8:29 am that's April 9th. 20, 22 April 28 29 a.m. eastern
- 21:20time, this is pretty cool to look at this shot SpaceX dragon,
- 21:25and ever occurring for A X1 astronauts, approaches the
- 21:30station above South Africa, or South America, just after
- 21:34orbital sunrise. So check this out.
- 21:37You can see how small that thing is.
- 21:38Can you see? Like, you can't even see that
- 21:41you're watching that. But here's the, here's a
- 21:43close-up of the dock. So yeah, there's there's a scope
- 21:49back here, but it's very it takes forever for these things
- 21:53to dock, right? So it's a very complex
- 21:58mechanism, that makes sure that these things doc properly with
- 22:02the space station, but fortunately for us, Michael
- 22:06lopez-alegria, Larry O'Connor 8, in esteem and Mark path.
- 22:12I arrived at the International. Space Station, unscathed.
- 22:16So they're about 260 miles above the central.
- 22:20Atlantic Ocean. When they docked with the
- 22:22International Space Station, it was delayed about 45 Mission or
- 22:2745 minutes as a space station teams, including Michigan,
- 22:29trollers at SpaceX and NASA work to troubleshoot an issue.
- 22:33Preventing the crew members on station from receiving views.
- 22:36Choose from dragons Center Line camera of the harmonies module,
- 22:40docking port. So the mission teams work to
- 22:43root video using a SpaceX ground station to the crew on the space
- 22:48station Long Dragon, to perceive a docking.
- 22:50How crazy is that? So, they rebooted video just so
- 22:56they could dock this ex1 Mission with the International Space
- 22:59Station. So they lined up with the
- 23:02module. Astronaut NASA, astronaut
- 23:05station Commander Tom marshburn, pressurize, the space in between
- 23:10the dragon and the space station hatches and perform a leak.
- 23:12Check before opening the hatches to welcome the private astronaut
- 23:15crew. So yeah, very cool, very, very
- 23:19cool. What just happened?
- 23:20What did we get? Happy Cappy, holy cow, I wasn't
- 23:23paying attention. Happy can't be.
- 23:25Thank you so much. Thank you so much for that.
- 23:28Super Chat. You get some Starships for that.
- 23:30Thank you so much. And again, thank you, shared
- 23:33baby for becoming a member of the cosmos crew.
- 23:35Welcome, welcome. Cim is very cool to watch the
- 23:37docking Bow-Wow 21 plus h, and a small thing.
- 23:40Yeah, could you imagine? I mean, it's an amazing.
- 23:42It's an amazing feat that happens, right?
- 23:44You've launched from the earth. And then from there, you have to
- 23:49go all the way to the international space, edge of the
- 23:50catch up to the space station and then you have to dock with
- 23:54it. And you know, the the initial
- 23:56day is like a 12-hour workday of you two sitting around, you
- 24:01know, you know, don't sit around.
- 24:02I mean there's a lot more to it than that but a lot of is a lot
- 24:05of it is Is waiting for everything to happen.
- 24:08You know, you sit in the in the capsule for hours possibly and,
- 24:13you know, eventually I was having a discussion with
- 24:15somebody on Reddit the other day.
- 24:16Actually, this is a fun thing to think about a little mental
- 24:20exercise. They were saying, The that the
- 24:26Billionaire's in the Millionaire's right now are
- 24:31doing these flights right there, go to the space station, they're
- 24:34doing their own thing, doing the blue origin thing and they're
- 24:38doing the, you know, they're doing all that all the private
- 24:41space flights for rich people, right?
- 24:42So you think about this the rich people know it's like 55 million
- 24:46dollars to go to the space station or whatever, you know,
- 24:48hundred thousand hundred million dollars to say that just say all
- 24:51together with the training and everything how to million bucks.
- 24:54That's a lot of money. If you get four people that's 25
- 24:57million. Each is split, right?
- 25:00And if you're a multi-millionaire hundred
- 25:02million dollars in the bank and you have 25 million to do one
- 25:05thing for one time in your life, right?
- 25:11That's it. Like that's going to be the most
- 25:13amazing thing you ever do in your life and it's 25 million
- 25:15dollars out of your hundred million dollars in the bank.
- 25:18Yeah, of course, you're going to do it.
- 25:20Why wouldn't you do it? If you're an adventurous person,
- 25:22I would do it, but at the beginning of human flight,
- 25:26Wright brothers era, in then commercial flight, only people
- 25:30that were wealthy could afford it.
- 25:32Right? So it so in the beginning,
- 25:35remember, I don't know if you seen the videos, but there's
- 25:37people that were, like, dressed to the nines, like super wealthy
- 25:41people that were dressed up in like top hats.
- 25:43They're smoking cigars in there. They're doing all the things
- 25:47that you would do in a really fancy schmancy Like old school
- 25:53party time, right? So these rich people pave the
- 25:57way for you, and me to get a flight from New York to LA for
- 26:00400 bucks, right? That's affordable, 400 bucks.
- 26:04And I'll, and you can get a beer, you can get a steak, you
- 26:08can get, you know, you can get Electronics, you can get
- 26:12anything you need at the airport because these people that were
- 26:15super rich mega-rich did it in the beginning, and they paid The
- 26:20way for us to do it not paved, they also paved but they also
- 26:24paid the way to bring the cost down because more people do it.
- 26:29The more cost-effective it's going to be.
- 26:31So this ax 1 Mission, it costs a lot of money but they're Paving
- 26:36the way and paying the way for us to get there in the future so
- 26:40SpaceX and NASA work together, you know, blue origin, does it
- 26:44by themselves. They have some other partners as
- 26:46well. They also, you know, there's
- 26:51Virgin Galactic Etc. There are a bunch of providers
- 26:55that will facilitate these flights in the future and then
- 26:58we're providers, we have the different styles of flight, like
- 27:02a blue origin. Fight is basically like burp.
- 27:04You come up, you go up, you come back down and SpaceX flight is
- 27:10you stay up there, you fly up, you see up there for a couple of
- 27:12days you know, with the with the Virgin Galactic you're up for a
- 27:20Couple minutes. You know, you get weightless,
- 27:23you hang out and then you fly back down in a plane like you're
- 27:27in a plane, the whole Timeless space plane.
- 27:30How crazy is that? You're in a space plane and then
- 27:33you fly back down to earth safely.
- 27:36It's insane. So, the inspiration for mission
- 27:38was what I was talking about earlier where you fly up to
- 27:40orbit, and then you come back down with a, in a pod with a
- 27:45parachute, you know, that whole thing, it's pretty crazy to
- 27:49think about that, but This ax 1 Mission going to the space
- 27:53station. These people Paving the way for
- 27:55the rest of us to eventually becoming a space Society.
- 28:00You know, we're going to have more people in orbit than ever
- 28:05before in the next ten years because we'll have private space
- 28:09stations like the Axiom space station, I'll private space
- 28:13station. Maybe other providers will jump
- 28:16in and make their own space stations to maybe, there's going
- 28:18to be a giant space station. In between the Earth and the
- 28:22moon, the LaGrange Point sometime in the future.
- 28:25Who knows, who knows where it's going to be, but it's going to
- 28:28be the next 10 years are going to be absolutely incredible for
- 28:32spaceflight. And I know that if SpaceX can
- 28:36figure out Starship, it's going to change everything.
- 28:39So this ax 1 Mission change the game completely, change the
- 28:43game, and next up will be Starship.
- 28:48Once they get that figured out. So, that's going to be Laris
- 28:50missions and that's going to change the game again.
- 28:53You know, one SpaceX launches this thing launch a Starship and
- 28:57make sure that it actually works.
- 28:59Yes, it's going to be insanely, insanely Progressive for the
- 29:02next 20 years, 30 years, and then it's going to be pretty
- 29:07normal. You know, it's taken 100 years,
- 29:10you know, to get regular flight to where it is now and, you
- 29:15know, spaceflight like it was pretty much like overnight the
- 29:19way that regular flight. Commercial flight started, you
- 29:24know, it was like Wright brothers and then, oh yeah, I
- 29:26can go to Hawaii. Now this is it was like, if
- 29:29seemed like, it was a couple years, right?
- 29:31You know, and now we can jump on a flight and go anywhere in the
- 29:34world if you want to and pretty soon, we'll be able to jump on a
- 29:38rocket to go anywhere in the solar system because of these
- 29:42people, the ax 1 missions, so groundbreaking and so.
- 29:48So forward thinking of them And they also did experiments, you
- 29:51know, they're doing experiments on the ISS.
- 29:53They're not just there for a fun ride, they're there because
- 29:59they, you know, because they wanted to make a, make a, make a
- 30:04change, you know, make a difference.
- 30:06So yeah, I really appreciate those guys doing that, because
- 30:10it's insane. How cool it is Bob, bring says,
- 30:14it is crazy to think they're all traveling. 17,000 plus miles per
- 30:17hour to make everything. Yeah, I'm right there with you.
- 30:20You like I might have blown I go 70 miles an hour on the highway
- 30:23and I'm like, you know, this is crazy, you know like but could
- 30:28you imagine going 17,000 miles per hour, flying above the
- 30:31Earth. Kenneth thank you so much for
- 30:33that. Super Chat to, by the way.
- 30:36Uh, amazing. Thank you so much.
- 30:38You get some Starships. Check this out.
- 30:40You get some Starships. Happy is finishing up with his.
- 30:43Then we got, Kenneth are naughty, thank you so much for
- 30:47that, Super Chat, appreciate it. I like the Hat on the guy,
- 30:50that's Cool to and Little Hippo man Micromax has NASA estimates.
- 30:55We will go to Mars by 2040. Alana wants to be on Mars by
- 30:582030. Yeah, that's gonna be cool.
- 31:02I am excited about that too. If they can send people to Mars
- 31:062030, you know, it's 2022. Now if even if it's even if it
- 31:11is 2040, if it's 2050, you know, we still have 30 years, I hope
- 31:16I'm around still then, you know, 30 years, who knows, but If I
- 31:20get to see somebody step on the planet Mars in my lifetime, I'm
- 31:25going to flip out. Like I've already flipped out
- 31:27enough, you guys know me. I flip out all the time so if
- 31:31somebody actually steps on Mars in my lifetime and I get to see
- 31:33it, I will I'll flip out. So that's the plan for SpaceX
- 31:42and NASA in the future is to get somebody there in the next 10
- 31:4715, 20 years. So what else do we have to do?
- 31:52Today was to have to cover. There's some other stuff too.
- 31:57Yeah, that's the docking again. We got that going on.
- 32:00We got some Artemis stuff to Artemis.
- 32:04One moon mission, update Nest. Kennedy will conduct a modified
- 32:07wet dress rehearsal in preparation for launch with
- 32:09taking operations, no earlier than April 14th.
- 32:13SLS and NASA, Orion will then return to the Vehicle Assembly
- 32:17Building. Yeah, April 14th, a couple days
- 32:22from now. It's the 11th today, but I also,
- 32:25I gotta show you guys this too. And I these, we partnered with
- 32:31The yours app and they're helping us out with the show.

- 34:05Thanks so much for your Zap for partnering with show.
- 34:07Now, let's talk about some actually, you know what?
- 34:10The Artemis, wet dress rehearsal.
- 34:11Let's talk about that for another second here.
- 34:13Artemis, and NASA is planning to proceed with modified wet dress
- 34:16rehearsal. I want to, I want to show you
- 34:17this because it's directly from NASA plan to proceed with
- 34:21modified wet dress rehearsal, primarily focus on tanking, the
- 34:23core stage and minimal propellant operations, the
- 34:26interim cryogenic propulsion, CCI CPS But the ground systems
- 34:31that Kennedy due to changes in loading process procedures
- 34:34required for the modified test. This is the important part.
- 34:36Wet dress rehearsal, testing is slated to resume with calls to
- 34:39stations on Tuesday. April, 12.
- 34:41And taking on to Thursday April 14th.
- 34:44So, they're going to start it up again tomorrow.
- 34:46Call the station's, get everything ready, and then a
- 34:49full, or a wet dress rehearsal on the 14th opportunity, to
- 34:53refine the countdown procedures. So they're going to be going
- 34:55through everything. They already did with the wet
- 34:57dress rehearsal before. And I'm going to get into
- 35:00everything else. So that's the plan for the wet
- 35:04dress rehearsal. Going forward, Engineers are
- 35:06identified a helium check valve. That is not functioning as
- 35:09expected. Requiring, these changes to
- 35:11ensure safety of the flight Hardware.
- 35:14So yeah, they're going to do a modified test and the gonna hope
- 35:19it works then I guess send it back to the Fab.
- 35:21So that's sort of the latest from the Artemis program and one
- 35:27more thing before we We go one more.
- 35:29One last thing that I got a tick off as a lot of stuff.
- 35:34I got do behind the scenes today.
- 35:36Hello Marina. How you doing?
- 35:39Finally back, welcome back. Not sure if it's true.
- 35:41But can SLS go to Mars? It's going to be a deep space.
- 35:46I don't know why that's not showing up there.
- 35:48It's going to be a deep space flight Hardware.
- 35:52So, yeah, it should be able to go around the solar system and
- 35:54send probes and things all over the place.
- 35:57So it can Ali. Go to Mars.
- 36:01I predict 2034 fused first human on.
- 36:04Mars says happy. I hope so.
- 36:06I really do. I really hope it's pretty early
- 36:08like that. I think would be really cool.
- 36:10The next eight years to see somebody on Mars.
- 36:13Yeah, I would go crazy. I have to watch the replay
- 36:17there. Do some go do some work, stoop,
- 36:19responsibilities things and see, Davis.
- 36:21I hear you. That's what I'm doing after this
- 36:23to in a couple minutes here. I gotta go do some
- 36:25responsibility stuff. I'm a Axiom one.
- 36:28I missed their lunch though. Yeah, I watch the launch.
- 36:31It was, it was cool. It's like you hold your breath
- 36:35for them and you hope that it works.
- 36:37And, you know, it's it's going to be it's going to be cool when
- 36:42they come back to and they have all their stories and I have all
- 36:45the press conferences and stuff first person on Mars, but the
- 36:47end of the decade. I think that would be awesome.
- 36:50And I would be, I'd be pretty happy.
- 36:53Michael Maxie says the SLS launched, our suffers a broken.
- 36:56Catch valve. That prevents fuel back slow.
- 36:58Yeah, I hope I hope they get everything figured out with the
- 37:01SLS like I'm not team SpaceX only.
- 37:04I'm team spaceflight and you know there's team space and all
- 37:09that you know all the all those space people that are supporting
- 37:13each other out there. So I'm a supporter of all space
- 37:16flight. So I think it's important that
- 37:18we get this thing done and I hope they get all the testing
- 37:20down by the 14th and they fix everything and they move on to
- 37:23the next testing procedures one last thing though.
- 37:27Okay, so this is Is it just the cool tweet from Elon convert
- 37:32Twitter? San Francisco headquarters to
- 37:33homeless shelter since no one shows up?
- 37:35Anyway, 91% Point ninety. One point three percent say yes,
- 37:42support homeless people, homeless shelter at the Twitter
- 37:48San Francisco headquarters. Since most people use me, most
- 37:52people at Twitter, our remote now Twitter switched over.
- 37:58To a remote work environment. Mania remote work environment.
- 38:03You can show up if you want to, but the Twitter headquarters is
- 38:07huge. So you Lon since he is a
- 38:10shareholder he can kick and kind of ask people to do things now
- 38:16and hey guys, do you think we should do homeless shelter
- 38:19because we take up a bunch of real estate, we own this real
- 38:22estate, why don't we help people if we're not using it, you know,
- 38:26should we rent this out? Or should we give it give back
- 38:29to the people? Of San Francisco.
- 38:32So Ilan, says convert Twitter San Francisco HQ at a homeless
- 38:37shelter since no one shows up. Anyway, 91.3% say yes, eight
- 38:41point seven percent say, no, I don't know who those people are
- 38:44like, why wouldn't you want a homeless shelter?
- 38:47You know, why wouldn't you want a homeless shelter?
- 38:51Don't understand it. But 8.7% people are horrible,
- 38:54people, and don't want a homeless shelter.
- 38:57So The fact that Ilan has some pull at Twitter now and he also
- 39:05declined his his seat for the Twitter board there's some other
- 39:12stuff going on there which is it some other stuff but Jeff Bezos
- 39:17in Ilan check this out. Jeff Bezos the me Lon you know
- 39:19we all wanted we all want to yell and fight about Jeff Bezos
- 39:23and Elon Musk being a mortal enemies till the end of time.
- 39:28Jeff Bezos. Reached out to Elon on Twitter
- 39:30said, or do you portion? Worked out great and makes it
- 39:33easy for employees who want to volunteer.
- 39:36Elon Musk says great idea so it's portion.
- 39:38So you click through geek wire has this Amazon's new eighth
- 39:44floor. Family homeless shelter,
- 39:45attached to a Seattle headquarters, in-depth coverage
- 39:48of Amazon from data attached to one of Amazon's downtown Seattle
- 39:52Office Buildings this from Geek wire in the heart of the tech
- 39:54Giant's headquarter campus, a new homeless shelter, built by
- 39:57the company company is now open and servicing people in need
- 40:01eight, floors, 200 people per night and more than 1,000
- 40:05families. Emily members per year they can
- 40:08help people you know eight floors but look how cool this is
- 40:13like look it look at how beautiful this is as a as a
- 40:16homeless shelter like there's a little school in there.
- 40:19It's a really nice place. You know, they're doing, they're
- 40:22helping people out and I think they should because they have
- 40:25the room to do it. I mean that's a that's a nice
- 40:28cafeteria. Why do you say so like I would
- 40:32eat there, it's he's like, it's a great way to do it.
- 40:35It's an easy way to use this space to help people out.
- 40:41Be nice to people. It don't just worried about all
- 40:45the money, you know, like because they're San Francisco
- 40:48headquarters. Probably not a lot of people
- 40:49there, but little story, you know, there's like clothes, you
- 40:53know, you can pick out clothes, whatever.
- 40:55There's a full kitchen, which is amazing as little A place to
- 41:01hang out. Yeah, it's beautiful.
- 41:03And also like if you're homeless and like this shows up, like,
- 41:07this is, this is like a blessing.
- 41:11For you so you know the help families out do it up, you Lon.
- 41:16So what I think what I think is going to happen so this is so
- 41:21Ilan said no to the board assignment, right?
- 41:26So let's see here. And I'm going to I'm going to
- 41:28show you this too which is I think, is this one?
- 41:30Yeah, there we go. Team, this is directly from from
- 41:33the Twitter board team. Elon Musk has decided not to
- 41:37join our board. Here's what I can share about
- 41:39what happened the board and I had made discussions about you
- 41:42Joining the board in, with the Elan directly, we were excited
- 41:45to collaborate and clear about the clear about the risks.
- 41:48We also believe that having Elon is a fiduciary of the company
- 41:51where he like all board members has to act in the best interest
- 41:54of the company, and all our shareholders was the path
- 41:57forward best path for the board. Offered him a seat, so they
- 42:02said, hey Ilan. Come on in.
- 42:04We know you spent a bunch of money.
- 42:06You just bought a bunch of stock we appreciate you.
- 42:09Come on, and join the board. Help us out.
- 42:11Out we announced on Tuesday the elide would be appointed to the
- 42:14board contingent on a background check and formal acceptance.
- 42:18Eli's appointment to the board was to become officially
- 42:20effective 49, but Elon shared the same morning that he will no
- 42:24longer be joining the board. I believe this is for the best,
- 42:28okay? So the board is saying like, oh
- 42:30yeah, this is this good we're fine, we have and will always
- 42:33value input from our shareholders, whether they are
- 42:36are bored or not Ilan has our biggest shareholder and we will
- 42:38remain open to as input. Does the power move?
- 42:42This isn't. This isn't Eli going like, you
- 42:44know, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna talk to you guys.
- 42:46This is Elon saying, because if you're sitting on the board, you
- 42:50can't buy the company. Does it heal on saying no I'm
- 42:54going to buy this place. I'm going to control it and we
- 42:59are going to change Twitter. This is exactly what's happening
- 43:04right now. It's not about Eli had taking a
- 43:06step back. This is a this is a takeover of
- 43:09Twitter for me Lon If you sitting on the board he can't do
- 43:13that. He can't buy more shares.
- 43:15But if he's not on the board, he can buy as many shares.
- 43:17He want, he can get 51% and he can have control of the company.
- 43:21So Ilan making power moves here. It's funny because they were
- 43:26like, hey, come on in Buddy, it'll come on in, come hang out,
- 43:29but then he lies like, you know what, I'm not getting anything
- 43:33done. I need to be in charge because
- 43:35that's what exactly what happened is, Eli would have
- 43:38these ideas, you know, he has, he has ideas You know, make an
- 43:41edit button work for everybody. Or if you're a Twitter blue
- 43:46person you get a check mark next to your name.
- 43:48Like that would make sense for a lot of people.
- 43:51You pay the money. You're already.
- 43:53Like you are a, you know, you might not be the best
- 43:59journalist, you know, but you paid your money to get a check
- 44:02mark. Basically if your Twitter blue
- 44:03member so he's like, those are some of his ideas.
- 44:05I'm not saying that the best ideas, but those are some of his
- 44:07ideas. So going forward, he can if he's
- 44:13majority stake owner and he could just buy people out, you
- 44:16know, he can he can buy their stocks that's how it works.
- 44:20It's not a hostile takeover, anything like that, he's going
- 44:24to buy more stocks. He's going to get 51% of the
- 44:27stock and then he's going to do what he thinks is.
- 44:32Right. And I think what he's going to
- 44:34do is make it into a platform where free speech.
- 44:39Which he considers free speech is basically anything you want
- 44:42to say, you can see on Twitter, but there might be other ways to
- 44:47mitigate the free speech, like maybe there's a down vote
- 44:49button. Maybe there's, you know,
- 44:51something like that where your wrangled in, if you are kind of,
- 44:57you know, if you're being mean to people, there's got to be a
- 45:00way to help those people. Like not, you know, not get
- 45:05harassed and not get brigaded. So, They'll figure that out.
- 45:10But right now it's all the power move by Elon to get control of
- 45:14Twitter, which is effectively where all of the news outlets go
- 45:18to post their news immediately. So aligned would have control
- 45:23Twitter, he'd have kind of what he would have control over the
- 45:26news feed at this point. And, you know, he would he'd
- 45:31make some changes, whatever changes, he wants to make and
- 45:33we'll see Elon is free to buy more stock in the open market.
- 45:39A maxi. Yeah, he can just, he's Rich so
- 45:42he doesn't have to care. The Elan is ridiculously
- 45:45wealthy. So he can buy whatever stock he
- 45:47wants to elon's. Put the ideas out there, so now
- 45:52it's up to the board to act chard baby.
- 45:54Yeah, exactly. If they want to they can you
- 45:56know if if they go like hey man we can work with the Elan
- 45:59because they know in the future Eli's just going to take over
- 46:02anyway. But the last paragraph is kind
- 46:04of kind of funny here. There will be distractions head
- 46:08but our goals. And produce remain unchanged
- 46:10decision we make and how we execute it is in our hands and
- 46:13no one else's. Let's tune out.
- 46:15The noise and stay focused on the work.
- 46:17What and what we're building, so they're building, they're always
- 46:20building. They're always always upgrading
- 46:23there's all new code all the time at Twitter so you know
- 46:27they're going to continue building what they think is the
- 46:30best platform. And if he'll end, does end up
- 46:33buying all the stock and taking over then you know, then we'll
- 46:38see where that goes. But Jeff Bezos on the Washington
- 46:41Post throughout history of the United States.
- 46:46Very wealthy. People have bought up the news
- 46:49basically all of the news you know and they control the news.
- 46:53So this is just another example of somebody who's mega-wealthy
- 46:57buying up sort of a news outlet and it's kind of an aggregator
- 47:01for all the other news outlets to.
- 47:02So we'll see where it goes. That's all we can say.
- 47:05At this point, we don't really know exactly what he's going to
- 47:07be doing but hopefully he's gonna To be doing something
- 47:10pretty amazing with Twitter in the future.
- 47:12So that's about it for now. Thanks for watching everybody.
