  bags and I'm your host will Walden.
• 1:31
  And on today's episode, we're going to be talking about the
• 1:34
  Ukraine. What SpaceX and Elon Musk are
• 1:37
  doing to help out the ukrainians and let's get right into it.
• 1:42
  Michaela of fedorov, the Prime Minister, the vice prime
• 1:47
  minister of Ukraine and the minister of digital
• 1:49
  transformation of Ukraine reached out to Elon Musk on
• 1:52
  Twitter the other day. Said at Elon Musk.
• 1:56
  While you try to colonize Mars, Russia, tries to occupy the
• 1:59
  Ukraine while your rocket successfully land from space
• 2:03
  Russian Rockets attack Ukrainian civil people, we ask you to
• 2:07
  provide Ukraine with styling stations in to address seeing
• 2:11
  Russians to stand. So, basically, reaching out to
• 2:15
  Elon and saying, we need your help.
• 2:18
  We need Communications equipment.
• 2:20
  Can you help us out with anything with starlink?
• 2:23
  And if you're not Miller with what starlink is.
• 2:25
  So starlink is a revolutionary satellite internet provider.
• 2:30
  Basically you get a dish at your house.
• 2:33
  If you're in a rural place, you get high speed, internet fast
• 2:37
  enough that you can play online video games, you can stream
• 2:39
  movies through music, you could communicate across the world
• 2:44
  with starlink and that's what the Ukraine vice prime minister
• 2:49
  was looking at Elon for so Ilan, tweeted back Star Lake.
• 2:54
  Service is now active in Ukraine, more terminals in room.
• 2:58
  So basically Ilana saying service is ready.
• 3:02
  We're going to get you more terminals.
• 3:04
  We're going to get you ready, ready to get you set up with
• 3:06
  some more dishes and you'll be able to communicate with the
• 3:08
  world in these rural places and Ukraine where you might not have
• 3:14
  internet access. So this could be to help the war
• 3:19
  effort out there. It could be to help civilians
• 3:21
  communicate with people across The planet.
• 3:25
  Who knows? What people be using this for
• 3:27
  but basically communication don't let them get cut off.
• 3:31
  If something happens on the ground, you know, to their
• 3:33
  infrastructure space is up here and you can't really mess with
• 3:38
  space unless you get to the terminal.
• 3:39
  So starlink can the communication between the the
• 3:43
  satellite in the dish. That's the only way that you can
• 3:46
  cut it off basically. So Ukraine has Sterling
• 3:50
  satellites now, has internet connection through star-like
• 3:54
  Through space X. So that was one of the major
• 3:56
  things that has happened. Just recently with Elon Musk and
• 4:02
  start like now, let's go down, let's go down to the Starship
• 4:07
  area. Okay, let's go down to the
• 4:09
  launch site of Starship. Next few days, very important,
• 4:13
  few days. There is a few things.
• 4:14
  We have to talk about here. SpaceX is Starship successfully.
• 4:20
  Did a cryo test the other day? It looked pretty great.
• 4:24
  The thing was getting pretty Frosty booster also did a cryo
• 4:29
  test, a little bit ago. Looks pretty good.
• 4:31
  The show is brought to you by backblaze.
• 4:33
  I use back place to back up my podcast.
• 4:36
  My video files, all of my writing stuff, and all my
• 4:39
  photos. And you get unlimited computer
• 4:41
  backup, for Macs and PCs for just $7 a month.
• 4:44
  You can backup your own documents photos videos,
• 4:47
  drawings projects, all of your data.
• 4:50
  Access your backed up data from anywhere in the world using the
• 4:53
  web app and you can access the files on your mobile to iOS
• 4:57
  Android apps all covered. And this is a cool part.
• 4:59
  This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
• 5:01
  hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
• 5:05
  to your door. I could come to your business to
• 5:06
  and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
• 5:10
  hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
• 5:14
  and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
• 5:17
  hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
• 5:20
  it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
• 5:23
  You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
• 5:27
  teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
• 5:29
  accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
• 5:32
  can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
• 5:36
  it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
• 5:39
  So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
• 5:42
  you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.

• 7:42
  floors. They continue to test the lift
• 7:45
  arms, and the QD arm, they had to release the other day of the
• 7:48
  QT arm. Starship.
• 7:51
  Booster QD arm all going well down at Starbase now.
• 7:57
  Also they're building a wall around the the tanks that will
• 8:03
  be feeding fuel to Starship into the booster Etc.
• 8:07
  And this wall is pretty big, you know, I was there today.
• 8:10
  It's really cold today. By the way, it was 42 degrees
• 8:12
  Fahrenheit. That's pretty cold for this
• 8:15
  area, but also, the windchill was really cold for this area.
• 8:19
  So, I was assuming zooming, I had to put on a winter coat,
• 8:22
  gloves, and everything is about 30 degrees, sick today,
• 8:25
  Fahrenheit. Let's just say it's about there,
• 8:26
  it's cold. I know what 30 degrees feels
• 8:28
  like, it's pretty cold. So these people were working out
• 8:32
  in that cold building this wall around the tanks.
• 8:36
  Now this is because the vertical tanks at Starbase got shot down.
• 8:41
  Basically, the the powers that be said, you don't have the
• 8:45
  right things in place to use these tags.
• 8:48
  OSHA was like, yeah, it doesn't work.
• 8:50
  Them. So they had to rebuild it, they
• 8:52
  brought in some new tanks the other day and now they have to
• 8:55
  build a wall around these, a retaining wall.
• 8:57
  Basically and that's what they're doing today.
• 9:00
  They're working really hard on it and a couple people down
• 9:01
  there today. Build this wall, in the freezing
• 9:03
  cold. And now, there's road closures
• 9:07
  for the next. Let's take a look at when they
• 9:09
  are these road closures that are coming up.
• 9:13
  February 28th, Monday 2022, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. that's an All
• 9:20
  day 12-hour road closure, secondary date March first.
• 9:25
  Primary date next one Wednesday March 2nd 10 to 10 12 hour day
• 9:31
  Tuesday March 3rd 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• 9:35
  Friday March 4th 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• 9:39
  Now they've been changing the Friday times a little bit
• 9:44
  recently, they've been moving them earlier on in the morning
• 9:47
  from 6:00 a.m. on 24. Mainly because Boca Chica Beach
• 9:52
  is open in Boca, Chica Beach on the weekends is a hop in place.
• 9:56
  People really like to go down there.
• 9:58
  They like to hang out and they like to party and they want to
• 10:01
  just have a good weekend. So that's why they closed them
• 10:03
  down from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. because they want that Beach
• 10:07
  open at night. That's what Brownsville in
• 10:09
  Cameron County. Struck a deal with Elon for is
• 10:13
  that they have the people, the loves the beach.
• 10:16
  You want to go down and hang out and they're just regular people.
• 10:19
  They just He might just drive by SpaceX and not really care that
• 10:22
  much, but they want to get to the beach.
• 10:24
  They want to party and hang out with their friends, so between 6
• 10:26
  a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday March 4th, there will be a road
• 10:31
  closure but all the other days 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. all week,
• 10:35
  next week, if they get the primary stuff done on Monday,
• 10:40
  that's cool. The secondary date on Tuesday,
• 10:42
  might get cancelled primary. Day is on Wednesday.
• 10:45
  If they get that done, they might cancel Thursday.
• 10:48
  And if they get all done, they might cancel everything, even
• 10:52
  Friday of next week. So what could this be?
• 10:57
  Could it be? Another cryo test Starship?
• 11:00
  Could it be another crowd test of booster?
• 11:05
  Could they be moving something from the production facility to
• 11:09
  the Flight Facility don't really know.
• 11:13
  It only takes about an hour to move something from the
• 11:15
  production facility to the flight facility, and the road
• 11:18
  usually doesn't have to be closed for that.
• 11:20
  The other day, they were moving a tank and that tank was going
• 11:23
  about 5 miles per hour, but they had a police escort and there
• 11:26
  was a line of cars behind it but it wasn't that big of a deal.
• 11:29
  You know, I was behind it for a good 20 minutes, just getting
• 11:34
  down to Starbase and it was fine.
• 11:36
  It wasn't that big of a deal. I was just like hey, what is
• 11:39
  that thing that I couldn't see what?
• 11:40
  Was until I get white down to the launch site.
• 11:42
  So that being said, there could be something pretty significant
• 11:48
  going on this next week. I'm assuming cryo testing of
• 11:53
  booster again, maybe another Starship test, just to test the
• 11:57
  pipes, with the new tanks, the new tanks need to be tested as
• 12:00
  well. So, they need to test those new
• 12:02
  tanks. So that could be any one of
• 12:04
  these road closures for next week, could be the tank test.
• 12:07
  They got to check out the guts, they got to check out the pipes.
• 12:09
  They got to check out the flow, everything in between they have
• 12:13
  to test that out. Make sure it all works, okay?
• 12:15
  Now if that All goes. Well, the next step.
• 12:18
  I'm assuming the next step would be a full stack cryo test for
• 12:22
  both ship and booster again gets ship up again.
• 12:27
  You know they might have to test the the arms again but that
• 12:29
  doesn't have to be a road closure.
• 12:31
  So if they're doing the, the tank tests in the booster test
• 12:35
  in the ship test, they could be testing the arms in between
• 12:38
  setup times. So that shouldn't Road shouldn't
• 12:41
  close, the roads, a lift of ship 20, possibly close a road.
• 12:46
  So probably no lift this week, that's what I'm guessing.
• 12:51
  Probably a little bit more testing at the tanks.
• 12:54
  Maybe test their ship 22 booster for of course, but we'll see
• 12:58
  what's going on there because we're going to have thickened
• 13:00
  have to test those tanks first before they lift anything else.
• 13:03
  And then when they do left, shift 20 on top of booster.
• 13:06
  For again, it's going to be a huge, huge deal.
• 13:08
  And then they're going to do a full stack cryo of both wet
• 13:12
  dress rehearsal. Check those out.
• 13:15
  And then possibly will have to check out the stability and the
• 13:23
  rigidity check out all the systems and ship 20 and boosted
• 13:27
  for, make sure they run all the data for that and then see what
• 13:29
  happens going forward. And if that's the case and they
• 13:32
  can they do have some time left for this.
• 13:35
  FAA environmental study going on.
• 13:40
  They do have some time so if they get through with that,
• 13:44
  March, the end of March. They still have plenty of time
• 13:47
  before they can launch this thing.
• 13:49
  Anyway, the FAA has to approve a launch of this ship, as well.
• 13:54
  So could be April, May June before lunch.
• 13:59
  I've heard so many people say numerous things about a time
• 14:04
  where that's going to launch in the truth of the matter is, we
• 14:08
  aren't sure I'm down there every day.
• 14:09
  I talked to a bunch of people that work there talked to a
• 14:12
  bunch of people that are in the know so to speak and nobody
• 14:18
  really knows nobody can give you a straight answer.
• 14:21
  So at this point, you think okay, what's going on here?
• 14:25
  And you don't Nobody really knows but I'm assuming April
• 14:31
  May, I'm thinking maybe we're going to if everything goes
• 14:35
  absolutely perfect between now and the end of March April,
• 14:40
  we're going to wait for the FAA approval.
• 14:43
  And then once they get approval, they're going to have to get
• 14:45
  everything ready down there, get everything good to go.
• 14:48
  And then announce it, it's going to be a whole thing.
• 14:51
  Everyone's going to set up, I'm gonna freak out.
• 14:53
  Hopefully you're going to freak out too.
• 14:54
  And then we're going to get this launch of Starship, SN 20 and
• 14:58
  420 or these components won't fly together.
• 15:02
  That's a whole other thing. It's a whole other episode.
• 15:06
  So I would say thanks everybody for tuning then just want to
• 15:08
  drop in here and tell you guys also that my trip was Postponed.
• 15:14
  I guess would be the best way to say it.
• 15:15
  It's a good thing. It's everything is totally fine.
• 15:17
  I know I said I was going to go on a trip this weekend.
• 15:20
  I'd go see some family but all is good.
• 15:23
  Just want to let you guys know. Everything is cool and
• 15:26
  everything is good and I'm back. I'm still here in Brownsville.
• 15:29
  So I'm going to be doing more coverage of ship, 20 and booster
• 15:34
  for going forward in the next foreseeable future.
• 15:39
  So I'm super happy. Thanks everybody for hanging out
• 15:41
  and being part of the space now. But if you like this subscribe
• 15:45
  and give it a thumbs up. Thanks, bye.
