• 0:02
  Hey everybody. Welcome back to the space news
• 0:04
  pod. This is a show about SpaceX NASA
• 0:06
  and space flight. I'm your host will Walden.
• 0:09
  And in this episode we're going to be talking about SpaceX
• 0:12
  Starship. Some of the testing is being
• 0:15
  postponed for a few days and also there was a test the other
• 0:19
  day that I got to witness about four days ago.
• 0:22
  Where SpaceX was checking out the nose of Starship with a
• 0:26
  drone which is really cool. So I'm going to show you that
• 0:28
  footage. Also, what's going on with crew?
• 0:33
  The next crew mission to the International Space Station on a
• 0:36
  falcon 9, and also what's going on with starlink.
• 0:40
  So, let's take a quick look at the road closures for SpaceX
• 0:46
  Starship. So the building Starship about
• 0:50
  20 minutes that way from my house at Starbase.
• 0:54
  So we're down here or try to get as much footage as possible and
• 0:57
  bring it to you every time that I can.
• 0:59
  But Right. Now, there's some road closures
• 1:01
  that have been canceled, so Monday.
• 1:04
  So these are, these are all the road closures from October 28th
• 1:07
  until November 10th, November 1st, 2nd, and 3rd have been
• 1:12
  canceled. And those are long road closures
• 1:15
  from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. that's an all-day ordeal usually.
• 1:20
  With these all day ordeals seems like a static fire might happen.
• 1:25
  They may be doing some pressure testing, things of that nature.
• 1:30
  And these three days that they postponed, Monday, Tuesday and
• 1:34
  Wednesday, that's three days that they're not going to be
• 1:36
  doing these tests. So the good thing is Thursday of
• 1:40
  this week. Closer still schedule from 10
• 1:42
  a.m. to 6 p.m. so possible, static fire test, not quite sure
• 1:47
  what's going to be happening but we'll keep an eye on it for you
• 1:50
  also. Next week Monday, the 8th 10
• 1:53
  a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and it looks like
• 1:55
  Wednesday of next week as well. So it looks like they took
• 1:57
  everything from this week. It just kind of went like Like
• 2:00
  hey, let's just wait a week and then possibly, they can do the
• 2:03
  same test next week, if something or if everything goes.
• 2:07
  Well, so that's pretty cool. That's happening.
• 2:09
  Now, let me talk to you about what I did the other night.
• 2:13
  So I went down, this is before I got injured and I can't go down
• 2:16
  right now because I have a sprained ankle or foot and so
• 2:21
  about four days ago, three or four days ago, I was down there
• 2:23
  at about 8:30 at night and they had the flaps open on the nose
• 2:29
  of the Starship. Was really beautiful anyway, but
• 2:32
  I noticed that there was a drone hovering around the nose of the
• 2:36
  Starship and I was like, what are they doing up there?
• 2:39
  There's a, you know, there they have a spotlight and they are
• 2:42
  testing some stuff out there, looking at some stuff up there
• 2:45
  and then I noticed they were honing in on one.
• 2:47
  The show is brought to you by backblaze, I use back place to
• 2:51
  back up my podcast, my video files, all of my writing stuff,
• 2:54
  and all my photos, and you get unlimited computer backup for
• 2:58
  Macs and PCs for just Seven dollars a month, you can backup

  data from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can
• 3:10
  access the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
• 3:14
  And this is the cool part. This is my favorite part.
• 3:16
  You can restore it by mail, a hard drive will come to your
• 3:18
  house with all your data shipped to your door.
• 3:21
  It could come to your business to and you can restore return
• 3:24
  refund program so you can buy a hard drive restore, send the
• 3:28
  hard drive back within 30 days. Days and get a full refund.
• 3:31
  So basically they ship you this hard drive and then you ship it
• 3:34
  back and you don't ever pay for it.
• 3:36
  Which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
• 3:39

• 5:00
  I'm going to show you the footage of it, but the one
• 5:02
  certain section it's like a dent on a seam of the Starship, so
• 5:08
  they were there for about at least an hour with that drone.
• 5:13
  They would fly around for about 20 minutes.
• 5:16
  Fly the Drone back to the command center, put more
• 5:20
  batteries in it. You know, whatever they have to
• 5:22
  do fly it back over. Check it out some more.
• 5:26
  They would do that. They would come back back and
• 5:28
  forth all night long. And I got to witness some really
• 5:31
  cool stuff but let me know what you think.
• 5:34
  There's some dents on a seam that I noticed in those dents on
• 5:38
  a seam, it doesn't seem like they're working on it currently.
• 5:41
  So I think everything is okay there.
• 5:43
  But let me know what you think down in the comments below.
• 5:45
  I think it's a pretty cool thing.
• 5:47
  So, here's that footage. All right, if you like Starship
• 8:51
  footage, make sure to give this video a thumbs up because I'm
• 8:54
  going to be doing more of that on this channel in the coming
• 8:58
  days and weeks. So we can catch up with what's
• 9:01
  going on down at Starbase. Speaking of catching up.
• 9:05
  There's a ship chip shortage there we go.
• 9:08
  How about that a chip shortage that is impacting starlink So,
• 9:14
  the star league orders are been impacted by a chip shortage ship
• 9:17
  shortage. It's everywhere from mobile
• 9:21
  devices to computers to gpus and computers all over every
• 9:26
  industry. Chips are being shorted right
• 9:28
  now and it's a tough thing for Starling because they're just
• 9:32
  hitting their stride. And this is one of those it in a
• 9:37
  very inopportune moment, where starlink could just go crazy.
• 9:42
  If they had enough stuff, Right. If they had enough materials, if
• 9:46
  they had enough supply chain, they could go absolutely berserk
• 9:49
  and they're already ahead of everybody, but they could even
• 9:53
  go further in, this is an article from ARS Technica John
• 9:57
  Brad. Can I wrote this article?
• 9:58
  And here's a few things these. I'm just going to point out some
• 10:01
  of the highlights here. Silicon shortages have delayed
• 10:04
  production, which has impacted our ability to fulfill orders
• 10:08
  please. Please visit your account page
• 10:10
  for the most recent estimate on, when you can expect your order
• 10:13
  to be fulfilled. Old SpaceX said in an a in a FAQ
• 10:17
  at the starlink support website, the language is added to the
• 10:21
  starlink website, Thursday and Stanley has apparently just
• 10:26
  existed in beta status. Elon Musk said September that it
• 10:30
  would emerge from beta in October, but we'll see,
• 10:34
  especially with this chip shortage going on and here's a
• 10:37
  few quotes from somebody else. My account still says,
• 10:40
  mid-to-late 2021 from me, but I went to the home page and put my
• 10:43
  address in. As if I were to order again.
• 10:45
  And it now says late 2022. So about a year, some people may
• 10:51
  be waiting a year when they could have had stuff heavy
• 10:55
  equipment and had their starlink service possibly in the next
• 10:58
  couple months. So, this chip shortage is a real
• 11:02
  deal. And we have to kind of, you
• 11:04
  know, we'll monitor for you and see how it's going, but it looks
• 11:06
  like people are being kind of pushed back, but if your orders
• 11:09
  in there, you're still in line, you're good to go.
• 11:11
  Don't try to change anything by the way.
• 11:14
  If you change any delivery dates, or anything like that or
• 11:17
  any addresses, I've heard bad things that happen.
• 11:19
  When you change your address, you have to talk to support and
• 11:22
  then they have to it. It's just a big ordeal, so don't
• 11:25
  change anything if you don't have to.
• 11:28
  So take that as a warning about spacex's starlink into your
• 11:33
  account because that's serious business.
• 11:36
  Now, another thing that's serious business, sending people
• 11:40
  to space, the International Space Station, astronauts, NASA
• 11:44
  SpaceX all working together to send the next commercial crew to
• 11:50
  space. Crew 3 is now targeted for
• 11:56
  November 6th, Saturday November 6th at 11:36 p.m. eastern time
• 12:02
  due to a minor medical issue, involving one of the crew
• 12:07
  members. So here's NASA commercial crew,
• 12:11
  tweet launch update, NASA's space.
• 12:14
  X, true. 3 mission is now targeting to launch.
• 12:16
  Don't earlier than 11:36 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, November
• 12:20
  6th due to a medical issue. Minor minor medical issue
• 12:23
  involving one of his crew members.
• 12:24
  They have to give them a little bit of time to recuperate.
• 12:28
  I know how that is. I'm going through that right
• 12:29
  now. Mine's not minor.
• 12:32
  My well mines, it's that bad but this is a minor thing.
• 12:35
  They just have to postpone it a few days so it's not a big deal.
• 12:38
  Then they'll be heading up to the International Space Station
• 12:42
  11:36 p.m. Eastern time, Saturday November
• 12:45
  6th. So if you're up late at night on
• 12:48
  Saturday, make sure to tune in and check that out.
