0:20
Appreciate it. How are you guys doing today?
0:22
I'm just chilling today. When is he s N9?
0:28
Test launch. We will find out today.
0:33
Well, what kinda that's the that's the SpaceX Mantra there
0:39
if we don't. Ya, we'll figure it out.
0:43
Kyle, thank you so much, I appreciate it, man.
0:45
You are awesome. New member, Kyle memberships.
0:48
Help the channel. We're going to be doing live
0:52
coverage of SpaceX in Boca Chica eventually and memberships, help
0:56
us fund those Trips. So, those are coming up in the
0:59
next couple months were planted. It all out.
1:02
So those are that's going to be a big deal.
1:05
So hope you guys, you know, can help out with that Super Chat.
1:10
Super stickers also helped out too.
1:12
So thanks Kyle for that. Definitely going towards a good
1:15
cause of, you know, getting down to Boca, Chica to do some more
1:19
live coverage eventually. So I'm just putting that out
1:22
there. I don't know when it's going to
1:23
happen, but we're working on it. So, We're talking about some sn9
1:31
today, we're talking about some is it going to happen?
1:40
It's it going to I don't know, I don't know.
1:43
That's the that's the thing. Like when is this thing a
1:46
launch? We're not 100% sure.
1:51
We do have some ideas, but I want to go over a few things
1:54
before we actually get into the sm9 launch because the some new
2:00
information out there, okay? I got to do one thing real
2:05
quick, going to finish that up there and then we can get into a
2:08
few things because some stuff is happening.
2:13
Like, some really fun stuff is happening this weekend and I
2:15
want to share that with you guys before we get to the SpaceX
2:18
stuff because Like this is really huge stuff that's
2:22
happening this weekend for human spaceflight and I want to make
2:25
sure everybody knows about it because it's might be it might
2:30
be human changing thing you know like some cool stuff.
2:34
So something happened yesterday. Would you do?
2:39
Look at that blue origin had a successful flight and this is
2:45
their first flight of their crude vessel, right?
2:49
So and I know we're here for SpaceX so Fanboys, be careful of
2:54
what. So there we go.
2:58
The blue origin launched yesterday.
3:00
It was a success and that's awesome.
3:03
You know? Why it's awesome?
3:04
Because we all want human space flight to happen.
3:08
Right? Like you me everybody, we all
3:11
want human space flight to happen, so we want to get in
3:15
this thing, right? And we want to launch ourselves
3:19
into space. Who doesn't want to do that?
3:24
If you don't want to, if you don't want to do that, then
3:28
that's cool. But this is also Well, I gotta I
3:35
gotta meet that because they do some commentary but if you don't
3:40
agree with the origin, that's fine.
3:41
But you gotta understand that blue origin is doing cool things
3:45
and that they're going. They'll be launching people.
3:47
Hopefully, this is NS 14. So into more launches, they want
3:53
to have a test flight with people in there.
3:56
In the rocket. So NS 16 they have one more
4:01
launch, right? So they have NS 15, which will
4:03
probably be the same thing as this, which is a test
4:06
everything, because they know the rocket Works.
4:08
They've already had so many successful flights.
4:11
Of new Shepherd and they just have to put a human capsule on
4:15
top of it, right? That makes sense.
4:18
That makes sense rocket works great.
4:21
I have to make sure that they can separate.
4:24
They can get up to apogee, they can use the parachutes, the
4:27
rocket can land, the rocket seems great.
4:29
The parachute seat parachute seemed great yesterday and scrub
4:32
forward a little bit to see that.
4:34
See the landing is cool man. Watch the way.
4:36
This thing is reorients. Hold on will scrub through a
4:39
little bit back here to check. This out going to go full screen
4:43
on this one so you can see it a little bit better but check this
4:46
out. Watch this thing land.
4:49
You really surprised by how clean the product is.
4:52
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was the dude.
4:56
The the Drone cams were amazing. Watch this.
5:07
Watch this Landing. This blew me away the way that
5:14
it reorient itself on the pad like like feet away from
5:20
Landing. It was absolutely amazing.
5:24
Absolutely amazing. Yeah, got to keep it fit
5:26
family-friendly. There people just to make sure
5:29
that, you know, we got a bunch of kids in here too.
5:32
So you got to make sure that we keep it family-friendly please.
5:36
And if not we'll just band you not a big deal.
5:41
So watch this thing land. We're almost there.
5:44
Yeah, it almost didn't make it JL exactly.
5:46
It almost didn't make it but the fact that they pulled this off,
5:54
okay, I think there's no commentary coming up.
5:58
There's a sonic, boom. Kyle the control?
6:01
Yes, it's automated. There's nobody with a joystick.
6:05
Watch this view too. Landing gear goes out.
6:11
Watch this right here. It was like 40 degree angle.
6:20
Holy cow, almost mr. Pad.
6:22
Yeah, Kelly. Yeah, exactly.
6:24
Look at how close it is to the edge of the pad, right.
6:27
That like it didn't hit the circle the center there then at
6:31
the center but it was, you know, it made the pad so that's good.
6:38
You can watch Once the touchdown event has 14 once the Smoke
6:44
Clears, you can see how far away it is from the center.
6:47
It's not too far as like like all rocket away.
6:52
Right. It's like rock man.
6:54
Maybe a rocket and a half away. Maybe you should make a bigger
6:56
landing pad. I mean it might make sense to
7:00
make a little bit bigger landing pad.
7:03
I don't know why they make Landing Pad so small for these
7:04
things. But watch this thing, reorient
7:07
itself, one more time, we'll look at the angle.
7:09
This is watch this, okay? That's a beautiful shot.
7:15
How cool is that blue origin up their game so much?
7:20
Okay. What look at that angle, what
7:21
does that like? It's like a, I'm just doing some
7:25
back of the side of the hand. A bath here, probably a 25
7:29
degree angle. And then it goes tips, even
7:34
more. So side of the hand math,
7:37
probably 30 that. Yeah, well, maybe maybe that's
7:41
about 25 there and then it goes there.
7:44
He goes a like, 35 or the show is brought to you by backblaze.
7:48
I use back place to back up my podcast.
7:50
My video files, all of my writing stuff, and all my
7:53
photos. And you get unlimited computer
7:55
backup, for Macs, and PCs for just $7 a month.
7:59
You can backup your own documents photos videos,
8:01
drawings, X, all of your data and access your backed up data
8:06
from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can access
8:09
the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
8:13
And this is the cool part. This is my favorite part.
8:14
You can restore it by mail, a hard drive will come to your
8:17
house with all your data shipped to your door.
8:20
It could come to your business to and you can restore return
8:23
refund program so you can buy a hard drive restore, send the
8:26
hard drive back within 30 days and get a full refund.
8:29
So basically they ship you this hard drive and then Ship it back
8:33
and you don't ever pay for it. Which is the perfect program for
8:36
somebody who has huge files. You don't want to waste days and
8:39
days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
8:43
And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
8:44
files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
8:48
history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
8:51
Files comes in super handy. So seven dollars plus two
8:55
dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.
8:58

9:50
Ilan back plays.com Ilan. Backblaze.com Ilan something,
9:58
holy cow, crazy crazy. How that And then the cool
10:03
thing, the crazy thing in the really good thing.
10:08
As it landed. Like that.
10:14
What in the actual what it writ landed that good that's nowhere
10:22
near 35 degrees. I know I'm just I'm just doing
10:25
the back of the hand math. It's not actually 35 degrees 35
10:29
or 15 tops, you probably. Yeah, probably 15.
10:32
It's definitely not 30, not 35, but it's over exaggerated their
10:36
a little bit because it was insane that it actually pulled
10:40
that off. And so that's another So people
10:45
people compare this to a falcon 9 it's much smaller than a
10:48
falcon 9. It's very agile.
10:52
It's a small rocket has one engine.
10:54
It's it only has one goal and that's to take things past the
10:58
Karman line, right to space. And you know they pop the top
11:03
off this thing, you know, since then people have been to space
11:06
for a couple minutes or minute, maybe it's not that far.
11:11
It's not that long. It's so that's the that's the
11:13
thing. Yeah, I think that's what it
11:15
does. Sends people up into space real
11:17
quick. You get the views as you're
11:18
going up and then you get waitlist for a minute.
11:21
Come back down. It's awesome.
11:23
You get chucked up into space cariann.
11:25
Starship watch I can't wait that's going to be so good
11:27
Deb's. What's up?
11:29
Look at those space pants. Have you heard about the two
11:34
Raptors needing replaced? Yes, I have.
11:38
I have and it's good. It's good that they're not.
11:42
Just going for it. We'll get to that in a second.
11:46
It's think I should be like hold my beer River.
11:48
So yeah, that's another thing like sn8.
11:52
Did a belly flop. From 15K.
11:58
And the belly-flop was perfect. Everything was great.
12:01
Made it to the pad didn't land, but it's like, do that think
12:05
it's huge compared to this little guy, right?
12:11
What are the odds? Blue origin forgot to account
12:13
for the rotation of the earth. So we're off on the landing,
12:16
maybe that's cool. That's a good idea.
12:20
Never thought about that. The Ultimate model rocket.
12:24
Did we get inside capsule views dim?
12:27
We did actually there's a there's a blue origin tweet.
12:31
Actually let me find it for you because I wanted to show that
12:35
today too. And I didn't have it brought up.
12:37
There's this one right here. I had and my other browser.
12:43
So let me get this up for you. You can see the views from this
12:46
pick this out. It's kind of it's on Twitter so
12:52
you can kind of see it. But you get to see how big those
12:57
windows actually are. And there's mannequin Skywalker
13:03
over there on the right side over here is behind me so you
13:05
can't really see them, maybe we can do.
13:10
Let's see here. Let's grab this guy.
13:12
Maybe can see this. You see Madigan Skywalker on the
13:16
right, but that's what you'll see. when you're in, A blue
13:22
origin rocket. Do you think blue origin will
13:30
ever have a nighttime launch the good question?
13:36
I think, I mean, eventually, I think they will.
13:37
It's like, it's like planes. You know.
13:40
Planes have nighttime launches, you know, you can, you can fly a
13:43
plane from New York to Paris anytime.
13:46
So there's nighttime launches a plane.
13:48
So I think eventually Rockets will have nighttime launches.
13:52
So yeah pretty cool man pretty cool that there is a there's
13:56
other competitors in the human spaceflight industry.
13:58
Now it is just like a You know, that's a small rocket.
14:04
It's not some gigantic rocket, that's going to send people to
14:06
Mars. You know, there has to be
14:07
everything in between to, you can't just have like there's
14:11
economy class flights, right? So you have economy class and
14:14
you have first-class. So economy is this like what I
14:17
buy? It's like a couple hundred bucks
14:20
if I got to go you know, from here to New York or something.
14:24
And then, you know, you fly from here to New York.
14:28
Like hundred bucks, or you can get first class, and it's like
14:30
thousand bucks, not first class. So it's like, Starship compared
14:34
to Blue origin's. New Shepherd, right?
14:40
So, yeah, well, yeah, well think about that in a future, like a
14:45
night, launch will be pretty cool.
14:47
There's some upcoming launches to, so, this is the stuff that I
14:49
was talking about earlier. Check this out, too.
14:52
We're going to be using NASA's or next space, flight.
14:54
Sorry, for the launches the launch schedule for this week.
14:57
End, huge, huge amount of stuff going on the Jeff.
15:01
Ooh, there's an electron launched January 16th Saturday.
15:07
7:30 8:00 UTC. You can get more details.
15:10
Of course, we're going to have the launch if it's available in
15:13
our time, zone launcher, one virgin orbit.
15:17
Cosmic girls going up. And this is, this is a cool one.
15:20
I'm pretty stoked about Virgin and all of their all of their
15:26
offerings because there is a there's potential for other
15:33
space, flight companies to get in there.
15:35
You know, to get in this sector. There's a starlink launch on
15:38
Monday. So, the next couple days,
15:40
there's like a bunch of stuff going on.
15:42
So the starlink launch on Monday and we'll have all these on the
15:45
site, you know, on the YouTube channel.
15:47
Well, I'll put them all up today.
15:48
So we have reminders for everybody to go watch and we
15:51
have transporter one, we have a long march launch tube which
15:55
probably not going to do that one.
15:56
It's hard to get a channel feed but the block 5, transporter,
15:59
one is on Thursday on the 21st and that's just in those zone of
16:04
a star link which will be happening in January.
16:06
So the 21st, which is next Thursday.
16:08
So in about a week we have one, two, three, four, five, five ish
16:13
plus maybe Starship possibly Starship.
16:16
We'll see. See, we'll see.
16:21
So that's going to be. That's a, that's a thing that's
16:23
going to be happening. They used to have Starship
16:26
Launches on here too, but not any time today.
16:31
They don't have anything on there because things keep
16:33
changing, right? Things keep changing for
16:35
Starship, and that's okay because it's a test vehicle, we
16:39
have two new engines for Starship as well.
16:46
Here's a tweet from Jon Kraus. Awesome, awesome.
16:53
Photos from John all the time. Look at this beautiful shot from
16:58
John. Absolutely stunning.
17:04
Watch this. Look at how beautiful that is.
17:06
Like, come on, dude, this is real.
17:11
This is real, this is real. Like this is a real thing that
17:15
we actually get to. Like we get to be a part of in
17:18
one way or another brother we watch it online or we get to go
17:21
travel there and like see it. You can actually like dry past
17:25
this thing. There's videos from Was it, I
17:34
think lab Padre has some and there's a bunch of others to
17:37
Boca Chica girl has some videos from like, driving past.
17:42
But it's amazing. It's amazing that we actually
17:46
get to watch this. So let's go back to the tweet.
17:49
I check it out. Starship Under the Stars by John
17:55
Krauss. Ilan says, nice shot.
17:57
Still aiming for sn95 late. This weekend, Renee says, he'll
18:02
on says, two of the engines need slight repairs so will be
18:05
switched out. So two of the engines need to be
18:09
switched out. Shouldn't take long, you know
18:13
they're Masters at this. Now shouldn't take long for them
18:16
to switch him out, but there were some tfrs that were
18:18
happening, you know, this week. weak up through the weekend,
18:22
there were some road closures that were happening, but those
18:25
all kind of got, you know, they got Kind of push back a couple
18:33
days and they're going to have to do a static Fires for these
18:36
new engines to, you know, they did three static fires, the
18:39
other day, there were lab Padre. Has a really great video here of
18:47
static fires. Really great nurdle camps, right
18:52
there of the static fires from the other day and you can't
18:55
really see through the, through the back of me.
18:58
Let me see if I can get a better.
19:01
A better version of that so you can check it out.
19:04
So you can check out the actual. There you go, static fire from
19:08
the other day from the neural cam of course.
19:10
Go check out that Padres Channel, but they did three
19:14
static fires, the other day, and now they have to replace the
19:16
engines. It's so, what is that all about?
19:20
That is crazy. So now they have to go back.
19:23
They have to take these engines out how to replace them, they
19:26
have to test them again. So it's going to take them a few
19:29
days to do that. There are road closures, coming
19:32
up, and I want to show you guys the road closures in a Moment
19:34
to, but the tfrs, which is basically tells you when things
19:41
are launching, if you don't know what a TFR is, it is it's a
19:44
listing of all the launches coming up for air space.
19:49
So it, the shows you on a map where people can't go to because
19:54
there's going to be space travel in that area either space
19:58
traveler something to do with operations in the air.
20:00
So there's a lot of stuff going on with TFR is with SpaceX, they
20:03
keep moving. I'm around.
20:05
There were some for this week but they've all been moved.
20:08
So check this out. Here's some Starship news for
20:11
you. Coming in hot.
20:18
Okay, so Brownsville Texas. This is the one we want to look
20:22
for on the tfrs. This is the FAA dot-gov
20:26
Brownsville, Texas Monday, right there, Monday Brownsville,
20:30
Texas, Brownsville Texas, Tuesday, Brownsville, Texas,
20:34
Wednesday. These are the three that we want
20:36
to look at because this is for space operations, operations and
20:41
Brownsville. Texas is near Boca Chica so the
20:43
same same area. Basically, as Boca Chica, it's
20:46
real close And these are the tfrs here is the actual no-fly
20:52
area, right here. This is right here in the square
20:57
right here. This is Space X HQ in Boca Chica
21:01
where they launch things. And this is the area where you
21:03
can't fly. So January 15th, 2021 no-fly
21:08
zone TFR is set for beginning date of January, 18th and ending
21:16
date. January 18 is All day, on
21:18
January 18th. So could possibly be spaceflight
21:22
operations could possibly be static fires.
21:27
So we don't know exactly what's going to be going on in the next
21:30
2. 3 4 7, 12 days what's going on with SpaceX, but we can get a
21:36
few more hints about what's going on.
21:38
So, we have more one for Tuesday here, same thing, same thing,
21:44
Tuesday 19th from 1400 UTC, 223, 59 UTC.
21:49
So we have one for Wednesday, January 20th. 2021 is same
21:55
thing. Same thing, same, same area.
21:57
You can't fly over it excetera. So don't go out there with boats
22:00
either. Don't just wander around there.
22:05
Yeah so yeah it's kind of a kind of a thing, right?
22:12
In the next couple days, we have to be watching these tfrs to
22:15
make sure that everything goes as planned.
22:18
And they don't switch stuff out on us again, because you never
22:20
know what's gonna happen with these next two engines.
22:22
If they static fire room, static fires, don't go.
22:25
Well, then we have to wait more which, you know, for us.
22:30
It's not fun to wait all this time because I want to see this
22:32
thing fly too. I want to see this thing fly.
22:38
Because it's the next cut is like the next step of human
22:41
spaceflight. That's pretty much it.
22:46
Don't they have to replace rap or do they have to replace
22:49
engines though? You think they can still keep
22:51
that schedule? I think there was another tweet.
22:53
I have to find it. I saw it earlier today and I
22:56
meant to let's see. I think here's one actually Neil
23:03
sent this to me little bit earlier today, Neal team stick
23:06
to space. So check this out to.
23:10
There's a was a tweet from Elan here that actually gives us a
23:16
little bit more insight when sn8 this from everyday astronaut,
23:20
Jim Dodd, great Channel. Check them out.
23:22
If you don't know who everyday astronaut is, do you say for do
23:24
yourself a favor and check out his channel amazing stuff when
23:27
S8 had to swap a raptor. It was 26 days between Raptor,
23:31
swapping and flight. I might head home for a bit if
23:35
the replacing to So 26 days to replace these Raptors on an sna,
23:43
it was like a whole month that you have to wait for this thing.
23:49
Elon says, we're making major improvements to ease of engine.
23:52
Swap needs to be a few hours at most.
23:56
So could they do this in a couple hours?
24:02
Maybe maybe but then Toby Lee says, need another static fire.
24:07
Then I'm assuming you'll on says, probably wise meaning,
24:11
yes, they're going to do static fires.
24:17
And then, you know, he goes and there's memeing and etc, etc.
24:22
So they go on about this for a little bit but basically he
24:26
wants to be able to do this in about a couple in a couple
24:30
hours. But right now it's probably not
24:32
in a couple hours. It'll probably be days before
24:34
they get these in. They may have been able to
24:37
figure out how to do it in a, you know, over the weekend.
24:42
So these tfrs, possibly for Brownsville Monday, Tuesday, and
24:47
Wednesday, there Here, these ones Brownsville Monday, Tuesday
24:52
and Wednesday, as possible. We get static fires early next
24:57
week and then we get some other closures and they can change
25:00
these things to. So these aren't concrete.
25:03
They don't have to fly on these days.
25:05
These can move, they can move them around because they know
25:08
it's a test vehicle. Yes, I can share this, share the
25:12
Discord link for sure. I'm more than happy to do that.
25:16
Let me get this, I just saw that.
25:19
Let me see. Check out.
25:20
Oh, there you go. Neal nice.
25:23
That's a different one. There's two different ones.
25:26
Same same Discord though. Saved us Gordon.
25:30
Yeah. Thanks for hanging out and
25:31
joining the discarded. Got a bunch of really fun people
25:34
in a Discord and we shared tons and tons of information over
25:37
there that you won't get on the live show.
25:39
It's like the little Intricacies of a really great crowd of
25:42
people about 300 people. It's very small still, so you
25:46
don't get lost in the shuffle and it doesn't just go go, go,
25:48
go, go. So it's really fun to hang out
25:51
over there and just like talk space nerd stuff and thinking
25:55
about doing a voice Channel, but we'll figure that out as well in
25:58
the future little behind-the-scenes, kind of stuff
26:01
there. We're going to do a voice
26:02
Channel, we have to be able to moderate it.
26:04
And that's the thing that we have to really worry about.
26:08
So the launch schedule, Is up in the air.
26:12
We're not sure Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
26:15
They have space operations, road closures.
26:18
Let's take a look at those though road closures because
26:21
road closure another hint that we can take to kind of see
26:27
what's gonna be going on, right? So these are all the road
26:30
closures for SpaceX Cameron County and today is the 15th at
26:34
a check that real quick. So there's no road closures for
26:36
today. The next road closure is Monday.
26:40
Then Tuesday, then Wednesday. Okay, remember, we have tfrs on
26:46
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, right here.
26:50
These ones right here, whoops, these ones right here, Monday,
26:53
Tuesday, Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday could we
26:58
get Could we get static fires over the weekend?
27:03
Probably not to be honest with you guys.
27:05
Probably not going to do a static fire over the weekend
27:07
possibly but Monday Tuesday Wednesday.
27:13
That's probably when they're going to static fire if they get
27:15
them in over this weekend. But like Tim said, everyday
27:19
astronaut said it took so long to get the the other ones in
27:26
there that like, how long Is it going to take these ones?
27:30
Ilan? Said, few hours.
27:36
So we'll see, we'll see what they're going to be doing.
27:38
There's yeah there's no room closure zero over the weekend so
27:42
we'll see. They can change these things
27:44
though. That's the that's the beauty of
27:46
this is that they can change anything at anytime with Cameron
27:50
County because there's been a 24-hour turnaround before.
27:54
But more than likely, it's not going to happen.
27:56
Steady fires are probably going to happen sometime next week if
27:59
they get those engines and if they don't, we're probably going
28:03
to wait another week for this thing to launch.
28:05
Unfortunately, and I want this thing to launch, I'm just, I'm
28:09
there with you guys. I want this thing to launch as
28:11
bad as you guys do. So, you know, I would love for
28:18
it to launch early next week but probably not going to happen.
28:23
Unfortunately. Lee.
28:24
So we're looking at probably two weeks from now.
28:29
Probably. But that's, that's a really,
28:32
really cautious estimate either. Two weeks, two to three weeks
28:37
from now, depends on when they can get those Raptors in.
28:40
That's all I got to say. We're currently a 666,
28:43
concurrent viewers, by the way, that's pretty evil.
28:46
Thanks guys for being so evil. The county doesn't like weekend
28:53
testing but they could yeah they don't really they love the, you
28:57
know, they love the beach. You know they want to keep that
28:59
Beach open for the weekend for the people.
29:01
So yeah we got to we got to make sure that we keep up on the road
29:07
closures and stuff because yeah like you said most likely not
29:10
this weekend. I think.
29:19
Yeah, couple weeks a couple weeks pretty good.
29:23
Sam missed the first bit. Did you mention that?
29:26
It's only flying 10K. Now, I was getting to that
29:29
actually good call. So we have a tweet from where I
29:33
sit here. I got it.
29:34
There we go. Everything SpaceX.
29:37
Everything SpaceX has a tweet, sn9 flight will also reach an
29:43
apogee of 10K. This time, it comparison to SN 8
29:46
is 12 .5 K flight and the reason why they would do that, the
29:51
reason why they would only do a 10K flight is because they don't
29:54
need to go to 12.5. They know everything works.
29:57
They know the engines work, they want to test the landing.
30:00
That's pretty much it. You know, if it's only 10K they
30:03
don't need those extra 2.5 k. It wastes time.
30:07
Fuel Etc to get up there. Don't need to do it.
30:12
They just don't need to. So they want to test the
30:14
landing, make sure everything works fine.
30:18
Test the belly-flop, Etc. so, Although the weather is looking
30:24
pretty Garbo. That's not good.
30:30
Yeah, I hope they don't have high winds again because that's
30:32
what cancel them the other day had some high winds and they
30:35
were just like, now we're going to scrub all the Statics.
30:39
You miss that? Sn8 launch.
30:41
Oh man, you gotta watch the sn9 launch.
30:43
It's so good. It's like so for me like I don't
30:47
like sports right? I'm a skateboarder, I'm a
30:49
snowboarder. So I'm not worried like into
30:53
team sports or anything like that.
30:55
But like watching a launch, like this, any sort of launched
30:58
actually is like, that's my sport, right?
31:01
So I watch, you know, I'll watch a SpaceX launch.
31:04
I'll watch it. S, N9 launch, and I'm like,
31:07
rooting for this thing to win. I wanted to land out of anybody
31:12
else is out there, too. It's doing the same thing.
31:15
Like, do you guys like in your head?
31:16
You're like, come on, go go. Go.
31:18
And I see people do that for real Sports to like they're
31:21
watching football and they're like, go!
31:23
Go, go, go, go! Go in the like the do is running
31:25
towards the The End Zone. That's me for a Starship launch.
31:29
I'm like go go, go! Go.
31:33
Oh man, where'd you buy the hoodie?
31:35
I got it from SpaceX. Any word on the flying debris
31:40
during the static fire. I didn't know though.
31:42
I haven't heard anything about that.
31:43
I actually was in Labs Channel last night and their voice
31:46
Channel. Like right before I went to bed,
31:49
I was there for like 15 minutes trying to talk to people about
31:53
the static fire and wasn't getting any sort of info.
31:56
Nobody really knew anything. So this is, yeah, I hope
32:00
everyone's like is pumped. As I am about, you know, team
32:04
space here because it's pretty cool.
32:09
So new launch dates, not sure it's like, yeah.
32:14
We don't know, we're not sure what's going to be going on with
32:17
this launch. So hopefully they swap out the
32:20
engines this weekend. Don't know if they're going to
32:25
we'll see. But next week probably probably
32:31
going to get some action over there, but I'll keep my ear to
32:34
the ground to let everybody know what's going on.
32:36
I wanted to Show you guys a shirt to check this out.
32:42
Little plug. We got a little plug, okay?
32:45
A little plug here. Got t-shirt.
32:47
A belly flop shirt. Hitchhiker's Guide to the
32:50
Galaxy. Shirt.
32:54
Check it out, belly flop. Neil made this Neil made this
32:58
design, so it's designed in house.
33:00
Oh, no, not again, Potter. Petunias falling with sn8.
33:05
If you've read or watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the
33:07
Galaxy, then you'll know what we're talking about.
33:11
So that's also a little nod to Look not to the old Starship SN
33:18
whatever. That's an ASN 9s and 10s N15.
33:21
We'll see. We'll see how far this thing
33:23
goes but yeah, check it out in our shop at space news, pod.com.
33:29
There we go. Any shirt that you buy any
33:33
Mercy, you buy helps with all the costs for the show.
33:38
I wish it were free to do the show, but it's not.
33:41
So, so we gotta gotta make a little bit of Money doing this
33:46
stuff. So we can go forward with our
33:48
next plan which is getting me to Boca Chica.
33:51
So I my plan was to go to all these SpaceX launches in Florida
33:55
because I live on the east coast.
33:57
And now, it's like man Boca Chica is where it's at.
34:03
You got to go there. So that's my plan.
34:08
Like that's the plan that the next within the next five
34:11
months. We're going to get there.
34:13
So coffee coffee cup has been calling me.
34:15
I won't lie. Do the coffee cups.
34:17
Sweet, man. I actually want to get one of
34:19
these coffee cups. I haven't ordered one yet.
34:21
I have a shirt and I have a sweatshirt.
34:22
I have a hoodie. The hoodies are really comfy by
34:24
the way, but yeah. Here's the, here's the coffee
34:26
cup. It's pretty sweet.
34:29
Same thing. Same design.
34:30
This out, a coffee cup. And the coffee cup.
34:33
Mel has a coffee cup, I believe and really high-quality.
34:37
I haven't got a coffee cup. Yeah, I probably should the max
34:40
Q cup. Okay.
34:42
Is it build quality heavy milk? Because I haven't bought one
34:44
yet. I haven't gotten one hip.
34:47
Got a sample? Andre, what's up, man?
34:50
Get a little fuzzy on there from.
34:51
We're Scrappy was hanging out Sports and SpaceX of the same
34:55
for me. Mario, I agree.
34:57
I agree. Right there.
35:00
Right there. It's the it's my sport to like,
35:04
this is my sport. This is where like I root for
35:06
things to happen. I'm like everyone has to have a
35:09
thing right there. One has to have like a thing
35:11
that they are passionate about and this is my passion.
35:14
So that's why I'm like that's why I always do these things is
35:16
why I always do these these shows because I want to I want
35:20
to spread the love basically. It's a good mug.
35:25
Standard size, standard weight, nice.
35:28
Nice, nice. You're trying to stand dark
35:31
mode? Andre, no, you got called out,
35:33
man. Starships were meant to fly.
35:36
I know. I wish Chris.
35:38
I wish I wish. We had Starships.
35:41
Flying today. You know.
35:46
Mario. It is our thing, man.
35:48
This is our passion and I'm so happy that I'm part of it in any
35:51
sort of way that I can be blue shift launch in T minus 124.
35:59
Nice, nice, nice. I will.
36:03
Oh yeah, there's a static fire to do.
36:04
You guys hear about that the SLS static fire this weekend.
36:09
For Artemis. Check this out.
36:11
I want to show you guys this too and I know it's not SpaceX, but
36:14
it's also a super heavy lift rocket.
36:17
Tomorrow, we will be firing NASA.
36:19
S LS engines for the first time, one of the final steps before
36:22
the corestates integrated into the rocket that will Propel
36:25
Artemis missions to the moon. It's an eight-minute test-fire
36:29
of these giant are these giant Rockets.
36:33
It's going to be at stennis Green.
36:35
Run hot, fires going to be here. Pretty freaking awesome
36:39
Facility. By the way, been used a ton. but
36:45
these are the engines, the set a fire will be firing four engines
36:52
this weekend. And it's going to be steady,
36:56
fire of like I was saying before a super heavy rocket.
36:59
So we have to have all these different rockets doing
37:02
different things. Because, you know, even if they
37:04
can do similar things, It's okay it's okay to have more than one
37:09
giant rocket like Blue Ridge and has one SpaceX.
37:12
Has one. Ula is going to have a heavy
37:15
lift rocket. NASA is going to have their own
37:18
rocket etc, etc. So it's always good to have
37:21
competition. That's always good.
37:22
To have, always good to have more rocks to do more things
37:28
because then you can, you can just do a lot of stuff.
37:31
You know, that's basically what it comes down to.
37:32
Like you could do a lot of experimentation to have tons of
37:34
launches going all the time. It's like having, why would you
37:37
like, why would you have one commercial aircraft, right?
37:43
Then you can only fly 100 people at once.
37:45
Why wouldn't you have a fleet of them?
37:47
So that's kind of what this is doing is like different things,
37:49
different planes, do different things.
37:51
Different Rockets can do different things and these heavy
37:53
lift Rockets can do a lot of cool stuff and these ones are
37:55
going to be sending people to the moon.
37:58
The rs.25 is the engine core stage engine space launch
38:04
system. I wonder what the PDF has that
38:06
has any Information. Yeah, as a ton of information
38:10
about the engines here. So I'll send that like, here's a
38:13
link to the PDF. If you guys want this, there you
38:17
go. But they're going to be using
38:19
rs.25 engines. They've been used.
38:21
These engines haven't been used before they've been built,
38:24
there's going to be four rs.25 engines along with to five
38:28
segment. Solid.
38:29
Rocket boosters will give SLS approximately, eight point eight
38:32
million pounds of thrust more lift than any current law.
38:37
Each vehicle and 15% more than the Saturn five rockets that
38:40
launch astronauts on the journey to the mood. 15% more.
38:42
And those things were freaking, massive thrust is five hundred,
38:45
twelve thousand pounds for an RS, 25 14, feet by 8 feet.
38:50
These things are huge twice as tall as a person.
38:53
Almost three times as tall if you're short, sort of than me,
38:57
I'm 58. So if you're like five feet tall
38:59
almost three times, as tall, operational thrust, 109 percent
39:03
operational time, 8 minutes. So we're going to get an
39:05
eight-minute. Just check tomorrow.
39:09
We're going to it's at 4:20. I think 4:20 p.m. okay.
39:13
Make all your jokes now, get it out of the way. 4:20 p.m. watch,
39:18
it 4:20 p.m. Eastern, hey, yo, okay, so all
39:23
right NASA, that was funny. Are they try to catch the SpaceX
39:27
crowd there? Is that what they're doing?
39:29
They're like, hey 420. So yeah, at 4:20 tomorrow
39:36
afternoon. We'll be bringing you that as
39:39
well with commentary. It's going to be fun these
39:42
things. It's these things are insane.
39:44
It's impressive to see these giant rocket engines just Blast
39:50
for so long. They do some of these tests
39:53
every once in a while and you can see them on our Channel as
39:56
well. So make sure to subscribe.
39:57
We're doing a We're doing it tomorrow.
40:01
So make sure to come back. What do you think Boca Chica
40:06
Mission Control? Looks like probably not as good
40:08
as the SpaceX main mission control, but I'm sure it looks
40:13
okay. It's still kind of a skunk works
40:15
out. There are still kind of just
40:16
like people in a People in a kind of a shipyard, that's what
40:22
it seems like. Doesn't it to me?
40:24
It looks like just people in a shipyard building ships, It's
40:29
like a bunch of stuff everywhere, you know, it's kind
40:32
of in a parking lot. So guess what are always reminds
40:36
me of it reminds me of when I visited shipyards in San Diego
40:39
it's like giant cranes just like stuff, moving all over the place
40:45
construction stuff all over the place Benson we're not sure when
40:49
the Happens. I wish we do, wish we knew but
40:56
yeah, we have some, we have some ideas, but no solid concrete.
41:04
Plans for right now, we have some tfrs for Monday Tuesday and
41:09
Wednesday of next week. And we also have road closures
41:11
for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
41:13
So we're just kind of have to wait till SpaceX does something.
41:18
They have to have to replace two Raptors now because they weren't
41:23
performing well. So they have to replace them and
41:27
we're gonna have to wait a couple days.
41:31
I live in McAllen. Oh, cool.
41:33
That's awesome. That's awesome.
41:36
Yeah, if anybody has any photos, we're also looking for a
41:39
correspondent in Boca Chica because we I can't get there
41:45
right now and I would love to get information in Boca Chica
41:49
from somebody who's actually there on the site and has a
41:53
camera. There's all sorts of things.
41:55
Hit me up on Discord with some information if, or on Twitter,
41:59
actually Twitter's probably better, so you can hit me up on
42:02
Twitter. I'm going to type that out for
42:03
you. There you go, hit me up on
42:10
Twitter. Also follow that Twitter to
42:12
because I retweet a bunch of people and to you about some
42:15
stuff Mary. Yep, where I'm opened everybody.
42:18
Whoever, whoever wants to do it, we'll figure something out.
42:21
But hit me up. DM me on Twitter or a disk or
42:23
check out the Discord to, by the way.
42:25
It's like pumping up the Discord now as well, because I love
42:31
hanging on Discord and watching everything go by like people
42:35
have so many great ideas over there.
42:38
It's just cool to get inspiration from everybody and I
42:41
hang out there sometimes and just kind of just watch.
42:44
I watch the like train of thought, go through.
42:46
You know, people talk about SpaceX engines and what's going
42:50
to happen next. And you know what actually like
42:53
what's it going to be like when we get to Mars and all sorts of
42:55
fun stuff like that? So it's pretty cool, man.
42:59
Pretty cool. There's a meme as well.
43:01
I want to show you guys this me which is really funny who posted
43:05
this in Discord. I don't know how to pronounce
43:09
this be a je in Discord. Let me and I think I saw this on
43:15
SpaceX Master race or something on Reddit.
43:18
But I want to show you guys this This is the funny one.
43:24
I know, I'm kind of like cutting it off with my head but you can
43:27
see teacher any questions the entire class when hop, when hop,
