Transcript
- 0:00Hello everybody. Welcome back to the space, news
- 0:05pod and live views of SpaceX Starbase.
- 0:12Ship 20 booster for. We got happy, we got other
- 0:14booster there to pad B is where Starship SN 20 ships, 20, is
- 0:21that right now. They have six Raptor engines on
- 0:26that thing regular Raptors and R of X.
- 0:30And possibly, possibly, we're going to do some more testing
- 0:36down at Starbase next week. coming up in the next few days,
- 0:42we have some road closures between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
- 0:47November, 29th, 30th and December 1st.
- 0:51So, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, SpaceX.
- 0:55Maybe doing some more testing Starship possible testing on
- 1:00booster or they may be moving some heavy equipment from the
- 1:03production facility to the launch facility.
- 1:06We're not quite sure exactly what they're going to be doing
- 1:08next week, but we're going to be stayed saying tuned and have
- 1:14this feed going during those times.
- 1:16So we can Of a live feed of that for everybody.
- 1:21So Monday from 10 a.m. at central time till 6:00 p.m.
- 1:28central Time. So that's a long time, that's
- 1:29eight hours of time, but the will be doing something not
- 1:35exactly sure what. But they'll be doing something
- 1:38down there at Starbase and you never know what they're going to
- 1:40be doing. You can kind of get you got kind
- 1:43of have a guess, you know what's going on?
- 1:45They could be doing pressure tests.
- 1:47Could be doing more tests with the launch platform.
- 1:56They could be doing you know the olm purge like they did the
- 2:00other day that was pretty cool. Could be doing, you know, catch
- 2:06arm tests. Mechagodzilla tests.
- 2:10And, you know, they have to have a have to get a lot of stuff
- 2:13done before they launch. This thing, I mean SpaceX is
- 2:21Starship is with full stack as 400 feet tall, it's about 30
- 2:27meters around or 30 feet around. So it is absolutely massive and
- 2:33they To take their time and do it properly or things.
- 2:37Just they're not going to work it.
- 2:40Even though Ilan has always said.
- 2:43You know will be ready in two weeks that seal on time, that's
- 2:49seal on time. We'll be ready to weeks ship,
- 2:51will be ready in two weeks. Well, you know, the I think
- 2:55he's, you know, when he says those things, he's kind of
- 2:58memeing himself and kind of goofing off because The, the two
- 3:04weeks thing has been his thing for years.
- 3:08Our two months even has been a thing.
- 3:10There's two weeks, it's an engineering thing.
- 3:13We'll get this done in two weeks and then it takes months to get
- 3:16it done, so we'll see. we'll see what's happening, but Yeah, I'm
- 3:25the the 8-hour test window is it's a big, big window for
- 3:29testing. So they could be doing a bunch
- 3:31of stuff. I mean, could they be doing
- 3:32another possible static fire of Starship?
- 3:36They could. I mean, there's no reason not to
- 3:41other than it takes time away from them building other things
- 3:45because they've already had a full.
- 3:46Static fire a successful static fire test.
- 3:51Felix is here. Yeah, I saw that.
- 3:53The what about a crew was here? That's pretty awesome.
- 3:55You did a live stream I think was earlier today, right?
- 4:00The beautiful day today, too. It's like 60, some degrees
- 4:05today, 66 right now. So yeah, what a beautiful day to
- 4:11be down there. I still have to heal up, my
- 4:14ankle, still messed up a little bit, but it's getting better
- 4:16every day and luckily, you know, luckily, I'm in a good spot
- 4:23where I can wear, I can take care of myself and Continue
- 4:30doing this from my home which is really nice, but I really want
- 4:34to get back down to Starbase so, and I'm only like, 30 minutes,
- 4:3730 35 minutes from there. So, you know, not too far.
- 4:42But the bad thing is, it's my right ankle, and my right ankle
- 4:46is my gas and brake ankle, you know?
- 4:52So it's like, well, that's not cool.
- 4:55I can't drive down to Starbase and it's fine.
- 4:57Like, I'm okay. Just being here right now.
- 4:58Doing this for a while. Because this is what I is what I
- 5:00was doing for years. So I'm totally cool with that
- 5:03even though I'm in Brownsville and I'm close by SpaceX and
- 5:06Starbase will be there when I when I get back to healthy and I
- 5:10have to be as healthy as possible.
- 5:12I can't push it because then you impede your healing for whatever
- 5:18weeks. Possibly a month another month.
- 5:20And that's not good. So The.
- 5:26Just got to take it easy, man. That's pretty much it at this
- 5:29point. Nothing wrong scented goal even
- 5:31though, you know, it's not possible.
- 5:32Trying is where it all starts. Yeah, exactly.
- 5:35You gotta go for it. That's why I moved down here.
- 5:39that's why I moved to Brownsville because, man, You
- 5:45got you got to set your goals high and you got to just you
- 5:48gotta go for it if you don't set those goals and if you don't set
- 5:53yourself up for Success there's no success in your future.
- 5:57So that's why when I was doing this up in New York and I was
- 6:02doing something similar to this and I was doing the daily
- 6:04Show's, that's cool. But of course, I always want
- 6:08more. Is your ankle in a cast?
- 6:10No, Michael. It's not.
- 6:13It is, it's healing up though. It's going up, it was an acute
- 6:16sprain. So sometimes accused sprains
- 6:19take months to heal and luckily, you know, I'm a bit about the
- 6:22one month range right now, So it it's it it's getting better
- 6:27every day. So it's just been wrapped up,
- 6:33you know, compression ice elevation, all that normal stuff
- 6:37rested up, don't walk on it, kind of thing I got crutches so
- 6:41I can hobble around my house. I got a cane so, Hope you're
- 6:49happy and Brownsville. Kevin keep up the great work.
- 6:52Thank you so much, I appreciate that.
- 6:53Yeah, I am happy here. I think it's cool here.
- 6:59It's a great little town, man. It's a great little town.
- 7:02So, where I came from in New York, there was literally
- 7:05nothing. I was out in the middle of
- 7:06nowhere. Sound the middle of a state
- 7:09forest, basically. Beauty.
- 7:12Absolutely beautiful. It's about up there.
- 7:15Rolling Hills trees, valleys Wildlife streams lakes, rivers.
- 7:23You know, all the, all the stuff that you see in.
- 7:28You know, like a Rockwell painting or something.
- 7:32That's where I lived. Those little cabins and others
- 7:35ski resort stuff like that. and, Then moving down to here.
- 7:44It was a big change. It is flat, it's flat with like
- 7:47sand everywhere, there's palm trees, it is beautiful.
- 7:52So, I'm happy. I'm happy.
- 7:56One hand on the camera and one of the crutch, right.
- 7:59Yeah, that's what I get. I mean I could use the tripod.
- 8:02The tripod is pretty steady. Maybe I could use that as my get
- 8:05as lean on it. Where's this camera located?
- 8:09This is the Sapphire Hotel on the island.
- 8:16Just about five and a half miles away, we also have the wide cam.
- 8:22Which is this one right here. But shows the whole facility.
- 8:33The show is brought to you by backblaze, I use back place to

- 10:52Totally fine because I don't have a lot of, like, I don't
- 10:55have a lot of Space to go to, you know, like I just have my
- 11:01little apartment here. I really do appreciate though.
- 11:05That's awesome. Yellowstone's on volcano, watch
- 11:08really. Oh that's not good.
- 11:12Is that a gigantic? It's not a gigantic volcano at
- 11:19Yellowstone. I'm not very familiar with
- 11:29Yellowstone's volcano status at this point.
- 11:37Yellowstone's, huge though, right?
- 11:40Isn't it like, is it like a couple of States big?
- 11:46I've never I think I went to Yellowstone when I was a
- 11:48teenager. Yeah, I think I did.
- 12:02Thanks was over by the tank farm, he's at the beach now with
- 12:05wife and kids. The cool thing is the tank farm.
- 12:07You see the tank farm on the left side, you literally just
- 12:11drive like half a mile down the road.
- 12:15In your at the beach. Like literally, this is the
- 12:18coolest thing ever. Like when I saw the first time I
- 12:20went to Starbase and every time I go there I'm just like what is
- 12:23what is going on here? So you drive past, you see the
- 12:29the tank farm on the left there? He does keep driving past that
- 12:34and the beach is literally like half a mile down the road.
- 12:40You can't, you shouldn't drive on the beach.
- 12:44Mainly because if you get stuck, it's a pain to get you out.
- 12:48And if you don't have the right kind of vehicle then freak out
- 12:54of tires Etc. Then you're going to get stuck.
- 12:56I've seen three or four trucks. Get stuck on the beach like in
- 13:00the sand and they kind of just look around and they're like I'd
- 13:05help one guy actually him and his buddy were coming down for
- 13:08spring break or some break spring break fall break and they
- 13:16were, they brought their bikes and they were going to go to the
- 13:18beach and it was going to be like, one of their best like fun
- 13:21times. I could see it.
- 13:22I could hear them because they were, they were near me at the
- 13:27At the production facility up the road and I was filming and
- 13:29they were talking across the street about what they're going
- 13:32to be doing. And like how about you know how
- 13:34many places are going to go to party and all this stuff like oh
- 13:37yeah we're gonna go down to the beach because we just saw this
- 13:39and then they headed down to the beach.
- 13:42I came down here to the launch site and I drove down to the
- 13:45beach because I was going to get a shot from the beach of
- 13:47Starship. And those guys drove past me.
- 13:53Drove it like and I'm not laughing because it's funny.
- 13:59I'm laughing because it is the most absurd thing you could do.
- 14:03When you go to the when you go to the beach in there's a bunch
- 14:05of sand around is like the biggest mistake you can make is
- 14:09drive into deep sand. So these guys just like head for
- 14:16like blasted into the deepest and with there's tire tracks and
- 14:21everything and they just got stuck like almost immediately.
- 14:25The front of their truck got in in barely the back tires, got in
- 14:29and they are just completely stuck.
- 14:32So the beach is a, it's, it's absolutely beautiful.
- 14:36There's miles of beaches, like you get his walk for miles and
- 14:40they're barely anybody there ever.
- 14:42It's I think I love it there. So, So, yeah, hopefully, Felix
- 14:50didn't get stuck in the sand. That's all I'm saying.
- 14:53I'm sure he's fine though. Super volcano.
- 14:58Okay, we don't want you. Also do a rupt would be
- 15:00devastating for most of the u.s. That is not good.
- 15:03Yeah. Is it true that China is
- 15:07launching at least two rockets a week?
- 15:10They are launching a lot of rockets.
- 15:19And they do have some upcoming launches.
- 15:22Let me see if I can find those for you.
- 15:23There's a soyuz going up soon. Arianespace.
- 15:26Couple soyuz going up. There's a falcon 9 December 9th.
- 15:30Actually the I-X PE the Imaging x-ray.
- 15:35Polo polarimetry Explorer going up from Kennedy, Space Center.
- 15:43There's a new Shepherd launch coming up to for blue origin.
- 15:48So, these are those are some new ones coming up from Other
- 15:58providers. But yeah, they're launching a
- 16:02bunch of rockets and thing is they don't really announce them
- 16:05that much. So yeah, it's a It's a, it's
- 16:13kind of, it's almost difficult to get to them.
- 16:17To see them. But there are a bunch.
- 16:37There's one coming up in a December 6th.
- 16:41For China. There is another one.
- 16:45Let's see at the park when the Space Center satellite launch
- 16:49Center in China. There's another one coming up.
- 16:53I think it's a little bit later this year.
- 16:57Yeah, there's one in another one.
- 16:58December 22nd Long, March 7, a December 22nd at 10:30 UTC and
- 17:07then there's another one in Des, another one in December.
- 17:12And a possible, one more in December so they're launching a
- 17:16bunch like maybe four launches by the end of this year.
- 17:24China is building the space station and then making their
- 17:27move to lunar. I think so too.
- 17:29And then they'll make the move to Mars.
- 17:33And he's are moving, very fast. Yeah, and it's, you know, I
- 17:37think it's great to have competition.
- 17:45Who's going to get to Mars, first, that's the thing who gets
- 17:48to Mars first because we can get back to the Moon, you know, the
- 17:52next couple years, China's just going to go crazy and launched
- 17:56everybody to the Moon. It seems like they're they're
- 17:58heading towards just going rapid-fire Pace as fast as
- 18:05possible building these rockets that are not building a rocket
- 18:09but building a space station, I should say that's going to house
- 18:14a bunch of people. Oh and then they get the
- 18:16information from that of course. And of course NASA shares all
- 18:19their information as well but getting their own information
- 18:24from their own space station is super important, especially if
- 18:29they gonna be sending people to the Moon, what if they have a
- 18:33moon base? We have a moon base, you know,
- 18:36is a competition or domination. I don't know.
- 18:38That's the other thing. We did the same thing with
- 18:41Russia, right? Was that competition, or was
- 18:43that domination? Do we need to dominate?
- 18:49Do we need to dominate space? We need to dominate the moon in
- 18:53order to be more effective. I mean, we did, we did the moon
- 18:57landings for military purposes, Department of Defense stuff Is
- 19:02it a threat? Oh this.
- 19:03That's the other thing. Is that a threat?
- 19:05We don't know. So far, we haven't seen anything
- 19:08as far as a threat goes is is far.
- 19:10As I know, I haven't seen anything.
- 19:12That would be considered a threat from China.
- 19:15Other than that they're building at a rapid pace.
- 19:20Think China's space program will cause Congress to up the
- 19:23funding. That's possible, John totally
- 19:25possible. I mean, fear is the biggest for
- 19:33aggressor, you know, when you when you show somebody that
- 19:38another Another country is going to be better than you.
- 19:44Then. Like we can't be beat like,
- 19:48that's some like, you know, you think about it.
- 19:50It's super competitive. We don't want them to have The
- 19:53High Ground. We don't want anybody to have
- 19:55The High Ground and I'm talking as a US citizen here.
- 19:57You don't want anybody to have The High Ground in no more than
- 20:01you do. And have the ability to do
- 20:06things that you can't do this in your behind.
- 20:09So, Competition. Sure, but also you know is it a
- 20:17threat possible? China steals for and Tech and
- 20:32use it as its own. Yeah, they've been known to do
- 20:34that. They have been done it.
- 20:36You can't do anything about it, you know, we have no sanctions,
- 20:39you know, that'll stop them from doing things like that, they're
- 20:43making a falcon 9. Clone so to speak.
- 20:48See them try that. And maybe they'll get it done.
- 20:52I don't know it's possible. But also, what is the advantage
- 21:30of having a Propelled landing on a vehicle like that.
- 21:46Save a bunch of money per launch.
- 21:49I mean do they do? They care that much about it?
- 21:52I'm not sure. So we'll see what they do in the
- 22:05next year or so think they're going to be making a lot of
- 22:08progress on their space station. Asimo progress on a moon
- 22:16landing. if they get to the moon before, the u.s. gets back to
- 22:22the Moon Congress is going to Up NASA's game, there's no way I
- 22:30wouldn't give it more funding. and especially by this point,
- 22:36NASA should be using that as a kind of a Talking point.
- 22:42Okay, you want to get the moon, we need more money.
- 22:48Do you want to see it to move faster?
- 22:49We need to build more stuff. Can you see elon's influence in
- 22:53Brownsville and how does the community react?
- 22:56Kevin? That's an amazing question.
- 23:00Yes. So, The answer to your question
- 23:04is I can see I can see its influence.
- 23:11I've only been here a short time though.
- 23:13So I can just tell you what I know, As far as I know, most
- 23:19people are okay with it with Elon and SpaceX and everything.
- 23:25A lot of people that I met In regular just a normal day life
- 23:30when you go to the store or whatever. you know, you talk to
- 23:34the talk, the checkout person and they, you know, cat
- 23:40conversation. you know, they'll we'll talk about whatever, you
- 23:50know, how are you doing today? And you know what's going on or
- 23:54whatever and Most people that I've talked to have been really
- 24:02kind of either so it's cool. What he's doing, you know what
- 24:05they're doing down there Starbase or they have no clue
- 24:07what's going on. Literally they have no clue
- 24:12what's going on. And yeah it's weird knowing like
- 24:21me being such a big fan of space flight and then talking to
- 24:25people who have absolutely no idea that they're building
- 24:27Rockets down there. Like there was I went to get a
- 24:32hot spot so I could stream from Starbase.
- 24:34This is a great example 1282 get a hot spot and the person that
- 24:40was checking me out she said She said, oh yeah, you know, like
- 24:46are you going to use this in your home?
- 24:47And I was like, well, I got to ask you actually like, what's
- 24:50the coverage down in Boca Chica Beach and that area because I'm
- 24:54going to be straight live streaming from Starbase is
- 24:57SpaceX. And I would like to know the
- 24:59coverage and do you have like a legit coverage map?
- 25:02Not like you know something that the corporate puts out in like
- 25:07makes it seem cooler, you know we make you see better, she's
- 25:10like oh yeah we do totally. Let me bring that up for you and
- 25:13she's like your Street Live. Dreaming from SpaceX and I was
- 25:16like, oh yeah, you know. Yes, what I'm going to be doing
- 25:18this with, or what? I'm going to be doing with this.
- 25:21She said, oh cool, I haven't been down there yet.
- 25:25I was like, really okay. I was like, so you should
- 25:32definitely go down there. It's amazing.
- 25:35You get to see these rockets at their building and I was like
- 25:38and if you have kids, this is one of the best things you can
- 25:41do. For them is to bring them down
- 25:42there because this is literally they're literally building
- 25:45rockets that are going to send people to Mars.
- 25:47And you'll be one of the first people to see these rockets and
- 25:51she was like, whoa, like mind blown.
- 25:55She's like I'm gonna go this weekend.
- 25:59Because I didn't even know they were doing that down there.
- 26:00I thought they were just building like missiles and
- 26:02stuff. I was like, nope.
- 26:03They're building literally rockets that are going to send
- 26:05people across the solar system, and she was like, that's crazy.
- 26:10Okay, I gotta go. So she's going to pack up her,
- 26:13she was gonna pack of her family and go that weekend.
- 26:15So I thought that was kind of neat that as much as I'm into
- 26:19this stuff like normal everyday, people don't know anything
- 26:24that's going on with the Starship thing and they live, 20
- 26:28minutes. That's away, you know, they're
- 26:2920 minutes, 30 minutes away from this.
- 26:31It's like knowing that NASA exists when you live in Orlando,
- 26:35you know, old Norland is a little bit farther away, but you
- 26:38know, if you're in Orlando and you're like, oh NASA, builds
- 26:41Rockets here. That's weird.
- 26:47Yeah it's kind of a it's kind of a weird thing but that again
- 26:49space you know starships and experimental program and it's
- 26:53not very good, not very public, you know.
- 26:56But there are there signs in Brownsville that, you know, say
- 27:01come live in Brownsville the future home of martians or
- 27:05something like that. So I've seen those that it, so
- 27:09that shows that the city's behind it.
- 27:13I know the mayor has talked a bunch about SpaceX and he'll on
- 27:17how much money he's brought in as far as As far as taxes and
- 27:25all that goes very, very excited about it.
- 27:28Tell her that SpaceX Starbase Boca Chica, is not an amusement
- 27:32park. Oh, I did, I totally did.
- 27:33I explained everything to her, you know, where you got a park
- 27:38and don't go into the facility? I was like, it's a private
- 27:41facility. So you could drive by park
- 27:43across the street, don't use the porta potty, you know, that
- 27:46whole thing. Don't get in the way.
- 27:50It's a legit and I told her it's a legit construction facility.
- 27:53So be careful. But, you know, it's it really
- 27:59isn't not even close to an amusement park.
- 28:03Seems impossible, dude. Paul, when I, when I heard her
- 28:06say that she was like I was I almost was like, what?
- 28:11That, and then I realized that not everybody cares about the
- 28:16same stuff we care about So, it's kind of its kind of crazy.
- 28:25Unknown are great except for retired.
- 28:27Folks, who can't pay property, tax, property tax, should be
- 28:31illegal. It means we're just renting, you
- 28:33don't own the land. Wait, what?
- 28:43I'm confused. It's amazing that the era of
- 28:49information, boast people seem less informed sometimes but also
- 28:53some people, some people aren't interested in the same things
- 28:57could be like me, not knowing anything about anime.
- 29:01Like I don't know anything about anime.
- 29:03I've never, I've never had an interest in it, you know, and
- 29:07never really sparked my interest.
- 29:09So some people are just not into things but it seems like
- 29:11sometimes people you know, there's also so many hours in a
- 29:18day and so many minutes a day, you can research things So I I'm
- 29:23one of those people that is you know I'm just going to focus on
- 29:25things that I like everything else.
- 29:28Cool you know do your thing. But I might not be the most
- 29:33interested in it so I might not take my time to do it.
- 29:36So I get that though. most homes in Boca Chica, rented not owned
- 29:44Yeah, I'm not sure about that stat.
- 29:45I live I'm renting right now so I don't know.
- 29:49No house here. I like my place.
- 29:53It's cool. I enjoy it.
- 29:56And Raymond. I got your message, but I'm all
- 29:58taken care of. Thank you.
- 30:00I appreciate it though. With the ankle thing.
- 30:08Everyone knows who Elon is and also know about Falcon 9 but not
- 30:12many know about Starship or Starbase.
- 30:14Yeah. Kevin.
- 30:14It's a, it's a sort of a. So there's the broader broader
- 30:19thing of space exploration. That people are like ooh neat.
- 30:24We're going to have it eclipse. You know, and that makes the
- 30:27news, right? So, you know, something's a
- 30:31Celestial event like that in eclipse.
- 30:36Everybody can see the moon, everyone can see the sun.
- 30:41That's cool. But you see a rocket launch in
- 30:44real life. You have to go to Florida, you
- 30:47have to go to California. You have to go possibly now to
- 30:52Texas at Starbase So you have to travel to those things.
- 30:58They don't really make the news because it's nothing really new.
- 31:03You know, when Falcon 9 took Bob and Doug up to the space
- 31:06station, that was a big deal. because we're finally getting
- 31:10ourselves off, Russian Rockets, but the Other than that, people
- 31:17are kind of like their kind of desensitized to that kind of
- 31:20stuff to Rocket flights. That's what it seems like, but
- 31:24if, if there's an asteroid that's going to be between the
- 31:27moon in the Earth or something like that, you know, meteor
- 31:31something, anything that's in the sky, that might look
- 31:34different. People are interested in that.
- 31:39But he take them, take them down.
- 31:42This Rabbit Hole of like do you know what a falcon 9 is and
- 31:44they're like, no idea. It's like, all right.
- 31:47Well, that's the rocket that sent Bob and Doug up.
- 31:49Remember Bob and Doug and are like who and then you say, oh,
- 31:54that rocket, that sent the astronauts back to the space
- 31:57station from us soil on a US rocket with us.
- 32:00Astronauts, they might know that, you know, then you say
- 32:06yeah, that's the rocket that sent them there.
- 32:08The like, oh, okay, but they won't know what a couple like
- 32:12two stage rocket is. They won't know what a crew
- 32:15capsule is or what a crew dragon is.
- 32:26So something like Starship and Starbase only really hardcore
- 32:30nerds like us really care. When Starship starts flying, I
- 32:37can Envision Starship launch from Starbase.
- 32:40Yeah, Kennedy and Vibe. Yeah, I agree with you.
- 32:43I don't know if Fab has the facilities yet.
- 32:51But they, they, I don't know. I don't know if they're really
- 32:54built up, but I could see it eventually.
- 32:56Yeah. But Kennedy, Kennedy Space
- 33:00Center. Totally
- 33:1185 million on a Russian rocket per seat per is 50 million.
- 33:15Personal Falcon Falcon. Yeah, super cheap in comparison.
- 33:21So yeah, of course, like it's amazing.
- 33:24How, how many people still Still, there's people that are
- 33:28on, it's kind of weird because you can pick your kind of pick
- 33:32your team still with these, with launches and things.
- 33:37People are still haters for SpaceX out there and what
- 33:41they've done. You know there's other
- 33:45flash-in-the-pan they've only been around 10 years Boeing has
- 33:48been around since Etc. You know it's like well yeah we
- 33:53know we know that they've only been here for ten years but know
- 33:55how much they've shaken up the whole industry.
- 33:59That's has to say something about him.
- 34:03Haters Gonna Hate, right? So I think it's funny that the
- 34:07people actually take sides about these things and as opposed to
- 34:10just being an overall space flight, enjoyer.
- 34:15You know, that would be. That would make more sense.
- 34:18That's how I do it, too. I love SpaceX and I kind of
- 34:23steer towards SpaceX because it seems like they're making the
- 34:25most progress and doing the most Innovative things.
- 34:32And that's always exciting, but I'm also a fan of all space.
- 34:35Flight Lisa, thanks for subscribing.
- 34:38Lisa Hanley, thank you so much. Did you get to keep the seat?
- 34:48That would be awesome, wouldn't it?
- 34:50That'd be really cool. It's like, you get, you know,
- 34:53you pay for your seat on this flight and then we get to, I
- 34:56don't know if you get to keep the, you probably get to keep
- 34:58this suit I'm assuming Maybe not though because, you know, these
- 35:05flights are, might be a have to look into that.
- 35:09You get to keep your space suit. Let's doctor Proctor.
- 35:14Doctor Proctor's pretty good on Twitter about this stuff, that's
- 35:17that's ask you right now. Proctor dr.
- 35:23Proctor like to Sian Proctor. Let's tweet it.
- 35:29Real quick. Back to side Proctor quick
- 35:33question. Did you get to keep your space
- 35:38suit? would be cool to just like, Make
- 35:48dinner, make dinner Lodge around the house.
- 35:55House and like walk the dog. In it, while wearing it.
- 36:04There you go, it. So here goes there, tweet to dr.
- 36:07Proctor will see if she answers quick question, did you get to
- 36:10keep your space suit? Would be cool to just like make
- 36:14dinner lounge around the house and walk the dog while wearing
- 36:17it. There we go.
- 36:21Sent. Let's see if she answers,
- 36:23they'll be amazing. There's a little bit of thing,
- 36:58guys. T FR has been issued for
- 37:05Starbase. Space operations for December
- 37:161st, through December 31st. Okay, so this is a renewal I was
- 37:20just I just got an alert about that.
- 37:32Let's see. November 30th through December
- 37:3531st. So it's just, it's a whole month
- 37:37of space operations, so it's just for the Starbase area,
- 37:41okay? I heard that the you suits are
- 37:47used for training new crew. Oh that makes method makes sense
- 37:51out. They all custom fit though.
- 37:57So basic Starship, Just a shell and just an orbital orbit
- 38:01capability custom boxes. One of the for SLS engines, they
- 38:04use for their booster. Basically yeah, Starship is
- 38:09cheap. This is as far as.
- 38:23You know, as far as spaceflight go start, Starship is going to
- 38:25be ridiculously cheap TFR. Must mean a boost static test?
- 38:30Yeah, possibly because it's, it's there.
- 38:34So the next couple days are going to be insanely, cool.
- 38:37Hopefully, it works out, I mean, it's from November 30th through
- 38:40December 31st. So it's a it's a big range.
- 38:45So, It's possibility that you know it's just starts December
- 38:5131st or just issued this November 27th and starts
- 38:56December 1st. Through the 31st of December
- 39:01altitude is 10,000 feet. so, Yeah, should be should be
- 39:09interesting to see what happens in the next couple days.
- 39:11And then, because the road closures are coming up but also
- 39:16the whole month of December, they have to do these tests
- 39:18anyway, because FAA is going to be ready to roll December 31st.
- 39:31I guess he not making you a suit until you pass training.
- 39:36I mean, yeah, I mean, I could see.
- 39:39It depends on the depends on the flight as well, because NASA's,
- 39:45okay, with with paying, for a space suit for, for training,
- 39:49and for flight, but I'm sure they have a training suit and I
- 39:53have a flight suit. Probably a different suit.
- 39:57It's good question though. Thomas Garner, hit me up with
- 40:08the Hit me up with that TFR. Thanks Thomas.
- 40:35It's Starship. Large enough to hold the Hubble.
- 40:38It is. I don't know exactly if it can
- 40:42fit, perfect. I think I can fit in there.
- 40:53Let me see how big the Starship hearing is just to see.
- 40:59To make sure I believe it is, but we'll see.
- 41:04Payload volume height. Is 59 feet.
- 41:11And 30 feet. Diameter size of Hubble.
- 41:17I mean yeah I think it'll be pretty sure it has a lot of 43
- 41:23feet long and it was pretty long and 14 feet diameter.
- 41:28Yeah so it'll fit I thought it was like 50 something feet but
- 41:32it's 43, feet long. See ya.
- 41:36So it'll fit, we have about 16 feet, ish, length, and 15 ish
- 41:48feet diameter. So yeah.
- 41:53Will SpaceX make an Eva suit. They've talked about it.
- 41:56You'll on said, he'd be happy to look into it so it's possible.
- 41:59They do in the future. So, there's a possibility. as a
- 42:10probability that You know, NASA contracts them to do some space
- 42:17suits movie A suits. In the future.
- 42:24Moon suits. How cool would it be?
- 42:27If you're I mean this is this is another thing to if you if you
- 42:33have astronauts going to the Moon the whole SLS thing, the
- 42:40whole Artemis program, the hole Docking with the moon station
- 42:47and then going down to the surface on a Starship, wouldn't
- 42:50you want your spaceship suit? Your spacesuit to integrate with
- 42:54your Starship because that's the suit you're going to be wearing
- 42:58while you're on the moon. So you want that suit to
- 43:02completely integrate with your Starship.
- 43:05I'm assuming that's what they want.
- 43:09So possibly, I mean, it's totally possible.
- 43:16That SpaceX builds the next suits.
- 43:32Nothing from Doctor practice yet.
- 43:35Excuse me. So, the T fr.
- 43:50For Brownsville Texas, temporary restriction.
- 43:53It's a first and 0001 UTC to December, 31st from the surface
- 43:57up to and including 10,000 feet MSL.
- 44:00This is not a flight test. This is for ground test events
- 44:04only So, this is for the next month.
- 44:09Yeah, Ground events only This is a no flight zone.
- 44:19Through like a basic TFR. So yeah, pretty cool.
- 44:35Pretty cool. That it's a monthly renewal of
- 44:37SpaceX is standing T FR, which covers all ground test events.
- 44:41This is not a flight to fr so it's not, you know, it's
- 44:51basically Guarantees SpaceX that they can do tests on the ground.
- 45:08But not so bulky. As NASA, presently approved.
- 45:10Yeah, the NASA seats are big. I mean, they can't I mean I
- 45:14don't know if they have to be that big but they're pretty big.
- 45:18They're quite large, Vanessa doesn't have SpaceX build suits.
- 45:21It's in their interest to make their own Eva suits.
- 45:23I agree. John, I totally agree.
- 45:25I think they should if they can get them approved by NASA and
- 45:30the governing bodies then. Yes, I think they could use
- 45:32them. Hello from Tampa, Florida.
- 45:36Hello from Brownsville Texas. Starbase Studio B.
- 45:42But I expect a mini probe that can operate with his own arms to
- 45:44take over primary Viva, which were spaced at UVA is great last
- 45:48option. It shouldn't be the first
- 45:50choice. Yeah, I so I'm a big proponent
- 45:55of robots. I love robots.
- 45:58I think it's a really cool idea to send robots.
- 46:01The planets, really cool idea to send robots to Mars to the Moon,
- 46:06Etc. I think that's I think that's
- 46:10our first choice. No possibility of orbital test
- 46:15until EPA closes. Yeah.
- 46:17Rocky, you're right. You are exactly right.
- 46:19There's not going to be any orbital, no flight tests until
- 46:22next year, Yeah, I'm a huge proponent of robots of Mex,
- 46:29whatever you want to call them. But I also think that, you know,
- 46:34how long does it take for a robot to pick up a rock and look
- 46:36at? It could take weeks for a robot
- 46:40to do that? And if you're a person, you just
- 46:45kind of bend over, pick it up, look at it go.
- 46:48Huh, this is cool. Put it in your bag.
- 46:50Take it back for verification. Check it out.
- 46:59Pretty cool. Remember NASA experiment with
- 47:06robots in the ISS, Michael, I saw a thing the other day, you
- 47:10know, it's not a Netflix documentary about robots and AI.
- 47:16About that same thing and I remember you know I've seen them
- 47:21in the past as well, but there are robots on the you know they
- 47:26were have been robots on the ISS and it's super cool.
- 47:30You know, you have your little buddy, you know, they have a
- 47:32little face they talk to you. And there was a really sad
- 47:37moment, but I can't remember which astronaut it was.
- 47:41But the They asked the astronaut.
- 47:47What's the? What's the what you going to
- 47:54miss the? Most of the ISS?
- 47:56And the astronauts said they're going to miss the robot, the
- 48:00they miss leaving. They're going to feel bad
- 48:03leaving their the robot up in space and I was like, like so I
- 48:09was like, oh my God, I got emotional.
- 48:11It was like 2:00 in the morning when I was watching this thing.
- 48:12I was like that is the saddest thing I've ever heard.
- 48:20Leave your little robot, buddy in space.
- 48:21You'll never see him again. That's sad.
- 48:26I would laugh though. Like I was like that is the
- 48:29saddest cutest thing we can be on mars or the moon and control
- 48:34robots from safety of the capsule from orbit.
- 48:36They never have to land. Yeah jet.
- 48:39Exactly. That's another thing we can
- 48:41control the robots from like, really close by Which is great.
- 48:48We could also have a base there. You know, we can have a base on
- 48:53mars or the moon and we could control robots from inside that
- 48:56base. So the robot could bring it
- 48:59back, like, they could go pick up a rock, put it in its
- 49:02container bring it back to the base.
- 49:04They could be facilities in the base where we could check out
- 49:07the rock. See what its composition is and
- 49:10then send the robot back out to do more work while you're
- 49:12examining it. Ever met ocean Camp guy, he's
- 49:17something else, Kevin, I've driven past him, I've driven
- 49:22past him once or twice and he's I'm always going.
- 49:27It seems like he's always going someplace or coming someplace
- 49:31and I'm always going the opposite way.
- 49:33So I haven't stopped to talk to Paul yet.
- 49:36But I've seen him down there. I've only been down here for
- 49:39about a month and a half, two months about two months now.
- 49:42So Yeah, I'm sure I'll run into him.
- 49:49Same with Jessica Kirsch, I'll meet up with Jessica.
- 49:53Some point, we have plans to meet up and hang out at Starbase
- 49:55and chat and stuff. So, Go hang out with her.
- 49:59She's cool. Her her channel is really cool.
- 50:02So Yeah, go check her out. She does a lot of live streams.
- 50:06If you're feeding for a live stream that's has an actual
- 50:09host, not just robots, then Jessica's probably my favorite.
- 50:16Talking about must never linked to a semi autonomous robot.
- 50:21I would be cool. So fun, how you doing?
- 50:30Guys, I got to leave in a couple minutes here but I appreciate
- 50:32you stopping by swinging by and hanging out.
- 50:36Look at that. The Sun is setting down here in
- 50:38Brownsville at Boca Chica. Setting soon.
- 50:42I should say Sun's going down though.
- 50:46It gets dark pretty early here. Welcome to Winter.
- 50:57And JB's, afraid of aliens, Jeff who speaks will have their own
- 51:01suits. Just one suit because of 50
- 51:03times more than their own and force Reliance on outside
- 51:07vendors. The spies do to complexity.
- 51:09Yeah, it outside vendors for SpaceX is the worst option
- 51:15because everything should be integrated.
- 51:18It's like having an Apple phone, you know, it's like having a
- 51:21phone with its own ecosystem. It makes sense.
- 51:25You know, why would you rely on an outside vendor?
- 51:29To design different parts of your phone.
- 51:34I know they do, you know, the internals of course, are built
- 51:36by other companies but it's all built and designed by Apple and
- 51:42what place, like just like SpaceX.
- 51:44They'll SpaceX would build all the things, but it's easier to
- 51:47manufacture everything in-house plus, they already manufacture
- 51:50their own suits so they have the facilities there to start with
- 51:55So they could do it themselves. I guess.
- 51:56The Apple thing was a really bad example.
- 52:01I think that back. It'd be dark in another hour.
- 52:05Yeah. How long do you think the
- 52:09orbital launch Mount to be complete?
- 52:11I'm not sure. Hopefully by the end of this
- 52:14month, hopefully by the end of December, I should say.
- 52:19Because I know they'll be ready for.
- 52:24Ready for flight. When the FAA says go go.
- 52:31Go because right now it looks like ship 20 is ready booster
- 52:36for With its 29. Raptors.
- 52:41Looks pretty like looking looking really good and really
- 52:44good shape booster 5. Stacked up.
- 52:53The Raptors that we know of yet on their ship 21 is in the mid
- 52:57Bay few more parts left to go on that.
- 53:00So You know, once ship 20 sales booster 5 and ship 21 should be
- 53:07should be just plop it on the spots.
- 53:11Test it out, booster six and seven are also pretty, you know,
- 53:18they're they're getting built booster.
- 53:20Six has, you know, a couple parts on it already, couple
- 53:25couple stacks there. Ship, 22 is still, you know,
- 53:29being built to in the mid Bay. So ship, 21 still needs its
- 53:36bottom flaps and a piece near the nose that sure what the ring
- 53:40is called, but it needs that it needs its skirt as well, so
- 53:44except only ones pretty close. Oh, LM, it's getting there.
- 53:50So, I'm guessing. I'm guessing by the end of this
- 53:56month or well then we'll be pretty close or the end of
- 53:59December. Sorry.
- 54:04Must contract, the Hollywood designer of Marvel DC superhero
- 54:07suits for the Draco suits. Yeah, and they look awesome.
- 54:19Don't forget the Spacek has to coordinate repairs from their
- 54:22own mission control, Houston isn't involved.
- 54:25Yeah, that's the big one, right? Something happens, sharing of
- 54:31ideas is always a good thing. Sharing of information as always
- 54:37a good thing. But if you have the engineers
- 54:39that built the things Bob, I'm just leaving in a couple minutes
- 54:43here so you got here. Nice welcome, welcome!
- 54:47Welcome. So if I love the idea of sharing
- 54:51of sharing of information of course, share it with NASA.
- 54:54Share with everybody involved with the project but also have
- 54:58your engineers. If your SpaceX work on your
- 55:00suits, if something happens. Because if, you know, if you
- 55:09know a part inside out it's like, giving somebody like, I'm
- 55:11a coder. So if somebody gives me a code,
- 55:14gives me a bunch of code, that's not commented.
- 55:16I don't know where to look. I know where to look, where any,
- 55:19what anything is. So, knowing the SpaceX works You
- 55:25know, in-house for all these things, super important for them
- 55:29to continue to do that. I reckon SpaceX is secretly
- 55:42developing an Eva suit? Yeah, it's possible.
- 55:45They are. I mean I'm sure they're, they're
- 55:47toying around with it. Because why not?
- 55:52You know, there's no reason why not to
- 56:08So during this whole time that I've been down here, you know,
- 56:11I've only been here for about a month but I've been boosting up
- 56:15the studio space and like kind of rebuilding everything from
- 56:18scratch because back in New York I had had my little room, you
- 56:24know, my little little studio room, had a major upgrade moving
- 56:28down here. Luckily I've had a major upgrade
- 56:31and I'm in a much better spot than I was when I was up in New
- 56:36York. So you know I that's what I'm
- 56:42going to be focusing on for the next month or so is Studio stuff
- 56:45and making better videos, making more videos making more,
- 56:49informed videos better editing, things like that and just kind
- 56:53of mastering mastering more of the craft of creating content so
- 56:58we should have better content coming in the future.
- 57:02Got a little bit of Hardware picked up before I moved down
- 57:05here, so I could film and everything done at Starbase.
- 57:07So, That's all taken care of. And I have for the launch for
- 57:11the orbital launch. I have a whole studio setup that
- 57:17I plan on using, so we should in theory, I'm saying in theory
- 57:21because there's always something it might go wrong.
- 57:23But in theory, we should have a really good live feed for the
- 57:28for the launch. So stay tuned for that.
