0:04
90s. Nice.
0:07
You can't beat it. I was Heading, I got in about
0:12
10:00 last night and it was still probably 85 when I got
0:17
into the room last night. Dang, itõs.
0:21
You know the oh, yeah. Bloodsuckers that just Eat You
0:27
Alive. Yeah.
0:29
Are out there out. So oh, that's no fun.
0:33
Yeah, when I move to Brownsville it was like I got there at like
0:38
8:00 at night. It was 110.
0:40
It was so hot. Yeah, yeah.
0:45
It's always hot. It like never is not hot, right?
0:49
Well, I'm gonna like, I hurt some nights where I've been kind
0:53
of cold and where Macton wear long sleeves because I'm cold.
0:57
So it there in that transition stage right now where were hit
1:02
were just hitting his summer spring time and yeah, that's
1:05
true. You know, you got a point.
1:08
I agree with you. Then credible down here.
1:11
I love it. So, okay, so that was just like,
1:15
I recording just to test it. I think it works so yeah.
1:20
I think we're good. Okay.
1:23
And I can't test it either. Really Can't really test it
1:26
until I guess done. So if it works it works it if
1:28
not then we just had a cool conversation whatever.
1:31
So okay, so I guess we should start this thing and so I guess
1:40
the first thing to do is to introduce yourself.
1:42
Tell everybody who you are, what you do, while you're a Starbase
1:46
and we'll go from there because this is a like a huge event
1:50
that's happening on Monday and you're there, like that's crazy.
1:55
Daisy. Yeah, that's actually and I'm
1:59
from Oklahoma Oklahoma injections.
2:02
Now I had to go back and forth I am down.
2:07
You documenting SpaceX, I've been coming down for almost
2:11
three years. Now, I originally came down
2:15
after the deer moving projects, first launched, their campaign
2:20
and I had applied for it. Got accepted made it to the
2:24
third round of that and That? Well, let me go on a vacation.
2:28
Let me go. See what this is about.
2:30
I'm text Berg and I came down to day trip, journey to die.
2:36
I refuse to be the island. I came down as in 15 was on the
2:42
launch pad. I I sat outside the production
2:47
site every day, there was only one tape at that time at the
2:51
tank farm a pile of dirt. That was it, there was nothing
2:55
else there. There wasn't even dotted line on
2:59
Highway for yet. Wow, that's early.
3:01
Yeah, yeah, the pothole 500 didn't exist at that point
3:06
because as my favorite, my favorite saying out here, it
3:12
literally the road was perfect back.
3:14
Then I ended up having to get home to my service dog.
3:19
And the launch happen. Three days later, special. but,
3:25
My first night, I got it in about nine that night and I
3:29
didn't know what I was going to find.
3:30
I'm driving to the end of the highway and all of a sudden I
3:33
see water and I'm seeing this rocket off to my right.
3:37
Oh my gosh. Oh my God!
3:39
I'm I climbed it at stand do. And, you know, we're trying to
3:45
talk about the one right thing in there.
3:48
Yep. And we hit my head and began to
3:52
be as I'm staring at this rocket for the gonna cry, right?
3:58
Like yeah, it changed my life. I had been down here about every
4:04
six months then then I've made a total of five trips now.
4:10
Two and a half years. Wow, I I did lie, I moved down
4:14
here this past summer, you had just left the area would not die
4:18
down here like yeah, each other. But under your dock.
4:25
Something changed it. And I found clearly that I never
4:30
found before and I've been a part of Astro acts does trying
4:37
to Make sure we can facilitate all human baby.
4:44
I am, I have. I was born with a learning
4:46
disability and they didn't pick me to go on the person pitching
4:52
the show access and I understand why, but that doesn't mean I'm
4:56
stop. There were trying to implement
5:00
new ways. That space will be accessible
5:04
for everyone. Am I with my disability?
5:07
It may be far-fetched. we may be another 20 years down the road,
5:12
but Could be a part of this. It's life-changing.
5:20
I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people down here.
5:24
And when you stand in front of that rocket, You just you just
5:30
can't describe it. There's no word to describe what
5:33
this place does to a person. I totally agree with you.
5:37
The first time that I went down, and I rounded the corner, you
5:41
know? Like when you turn like it's a
5:43
left-hand corner and there's like some Shrubbery, it's a
5:46
bushes. Then you can see the high Bay
5:47
right afterwards. You know that spot that I'm
5:49
talking about. Yeah, when I first saw that, I
5:51
was like always there. Now, stop light right there.
5:55
Now is that because construction or did they just put that in?
5:58
Okay. Okay, so it's temporary.
6:00
Okay. Kind of weird?
6:03
Yeah, because because people are going really fast at that point.
6:06
Like when they're hauling butt down highway for.
6:09
Like you go around that corner, everyone's going super fast.
6:12
And when they did some, they did some road work.
6:15
When I was down there, they had a stoplight down there, right
6:18
before the high Bay and then they write paved everything from
6:21
the high Bay all the way down to launch site.
6:24
And everybody was like, cooking through all of Highway for and
6:26
then they had to like stop Like head.
6:29
Like what? It's like 100 yards away from
6:32
where they turn in any way as like, I mean, that highways
6:36
horrible. Yeah, the traffic jams right now
6:40
are ridiculous, bumper-to-bumper traffic coming in and out of
6:45
there. Oh, I bet it especially the
6:49
other night with the one with the licensing came through.
6:53
Oh my God. Yeah, when we got the news, I
6:57
mean this guy. And running down the beach and
7:00
he's like, we've got the license.
7:02
We got the lies that it's and there's another YouTuber down
7:06
the road down the ways. From me, I send talking to him
7:09
and he's like, yeah, we got it. We got it.
7:11
Everybody on the beach. Just starts screaming.
7:14
I mean, it was incredible. It's so cool.
7:19
That people are like, this is a community man.
7:22
Like this isn't just like you know we're not supposed to nerds
7:25
that like rockets anymore. Like this is a this is a real
7:28
Community that's getting together and they have, you
7:31
know, they have get together as they have, you know, dinners and
7:33
things, and it's a friendship, you know, people make friends
7:37
through this. Everybody is a community, it's
7:39
really cool. And I found the same thing when
7:42
I was down there to. I downed I found my place.
7:47
Yes. We're if I'd your people, yep.
7:49
Yeah. I feel the same.
7:52
You know, being a female on my own down here was a bit scary
7:58
for my family. Of course, you know, I'm living
8:01
on the Mexican border, I don't banish very well at all.
8:06
I've never felt safer in my life.
8:08
Yeah, it's great. We had a good time last night on
8:12
the beach. I mean, people from Australia
8:16
Germany Montana and they drove. Of from Montana.
8:23
Wow, I thought I got my dried was a long ways.
8:26
You know, 13 to 15 hours. They drove from Montana down.
8:30
It was crazy. Yeah, so yeah.
8:33
It's a great Community. Everybody helps everybody.
8:38
I just never seen anything like it before.
8:41
Yeah. A very friendly people.
8:43
Everyone, that I've met even by happenstance or just random
8:48
people. I kept, I met somebody from
8:50
Australia. I was filming.
8:52
Hang on, one of the dunes in the guy just walks up to me is like
8:54
hey what's up was like, oh hey I'm because I wasn't expecting
8:58
anybody to be there, just like walked over and he was like,
9:00
hey, what's up as I got? Hey.
9:01
Wow. You doing?
9:02
You know and then we had a conversation became friends.
9:05
We email each other back and forth every once in awhile, you
9:08

9:10
now. It's really nice.
9:12
You know, it's a, it's a nice Community last night.
9:15
I'm just standing around taking pictures.
9:18
Brian in the ocean. He's like are you hungry?
9:24
I was like well I'm always hungry and so he hands me some
9:27
grilled corn on the cob. This is why I don't like that
9:31
works. I'm hungry.
9:32
So yeah, and it's kind of like, so when I was down there to, it
9:37
was like survival and you help each other out, you know?
9:40
Like we know it's a very remote place.
9:43
There's just so many people there.
9:45
Like, just a few people that are like, on the side of the road
9:49
filming or doing whatever they're doing.
9:51
But we know we're like, Like 30 miles away from everything and
9:54
he sort of services everything. So if anybody ever needed water
9:57
anybody ever needed food? Like people were offering that
10:00
stuff all the time. Like hey, you need some food.
10:03
Hey, you need some water. I mean, I I kept a extra food
10:09
and water same here. Yeah, sure that I have extras to
10:12
give away to people because you know what II camped on that
10:15
beach for chewy and that was brutal.
10:19
Yeah. Living in a tent for two weeks
10:22
on a beach that high tide comes in and takes you out.
10:25
Yeah, I think that's insane. That that's amazing.
10:30
It's amazing that you get to do this.
10:32
And what you were talking about before like when we first
10:35
started this conversation is like this is this is like you're
10:38
you're doing this for a reason, you know like you're doing this
10:41
because you're people are here but also like you're trying to
10:45
raise awareness in some sense for other people that like don't
10:49
really know about this stuff in Like need a place to go eat a
10:52
community and want to make it accessible for everybody because
10:56
eventually it will be but right now it's in the very baby
10:59
stages, you know, it is it just and like I'm a part of a group
11:04
called The Inspired for and have a bunch of us are getting
11:08
together tonight so stoked to meet everybody.
11:12
But these these this group Is empowering me to fulfill my
11:21
dreams and to better myself. And I'm learning so much about
11:26
myself. I'm becoming stronger and that's
11:30
what I hope to bring of all of us to bring that to others.
11:34
I live in a small town in Oklahoma where stem education is
11:40
not accessible unless you have money unless you can afford
11:45
$250. For the, you know, summer
11:49
vacation, time of it. You don't get to do it and to me
11:53
that's where I have a big issue. I want every kid to be able to
11:58
do this um and so it's just I don't even know how to describe
12:05
all of this. The opportunities are endless.
12:09
If you just try, I I say I'm turning my dreams into reality.
12:19
I have no clue where old ghetto read at all, but I know it feels
12:24
right. And I know I'm growing as a
12:26
person and I can bring that to somebody else in that, it
12:30
didn't, all of us will be worth it.
12:33
I just hope to encourage others to not give up on themselves.
12:37
Especially those of us that do struggle with disability of any
12:42
sort and mental health awareness.
12:44
That is my Big, big thing here is mental health, awareness and
12:48
Kim education. I know what this place is done
12:52
for me and having a purpose. Like my passion has a purpose
12:59
behind it. I am driven to keep moving
13:02
forward to better me and to someday help somebody else get
13:07
to space even if I don't ever get there, that's what it's
13:12
about. So yeah, that's that's cool.
13:15
Its Channel 2 because hearing somebody talk about the things
13:20
that not a lot of people talk about, will inspire those other
13:23
people that don't have a voice, you know, in the reach object.
13:28
Yeah, yeah. For a lot of people that is yeah
13:32
and I met so many great people know how Mike Mongo if she know
13:39
Mike Mongo fee. He is incredible and I've been
13:44
it. I'm in space.
13:45
Kind I took the space kind course.
13:50
These are these people have had been there, like Yuri's Nucky
13:57
was last night in Florida and last weekend in California.
14:02
And that's what it's about. Just keep inspiring each other
14:05
to keep moving forward. No matter what, when I left,
14:10
when I left Starbase, Back in October, I left against my will
14:15
basically, that is why I say I feel against my will.
14:18
Yeah, we know I was here but I had health issues that had to be
14:23
addressed and I thought my world was ending.
14:27
I really did. And if it hadn't been face, kind
14:31
course, and the people in my class, I don't know how all that
14:35
would have turned out. You know, they really got
14:38
through some of my darkest days and kept encouraging me to
14:41
ghettos. Your yeah.
14:43
And now you're back in your your Natalie, like back a Starbase.
14:47
But you're here for the freaking launch of this thing, which
14:51
isn't the, which is so cool. Yeah.
14:54
So your and you've never seen a rocket launch before, right?
14:56
This is your rocket. What what?
15:00
And this is your first one. This is literally the biggest
15:02
rocket ever. So, this is the DAC.
15:10
Yeah, it Didn't they're ready to go.
15:14
And I'm looking at this day and I'm just, like, how fortunate am
15:19
I? Yeah, I'm truly really was.
15:23
I like I said, I don't know where this is all going for me,
15:26
I have no clue but I'm gonna ride it out till the and the
15:32
loss of life waivers, you know, I know that if they were
15:37
legitimate risk, we're taking down here right now.
15:43
And I've talked to my family about it as well, and they
15:47
understand. Yeah.
15:49
And just something I have to do. I won't find peace.
15:53
I wasn't finding Pete's back home.
15:55
Yeah, and moment, I got back down here and I'm okay again
16:01
unclear, I'm focused again. I am back on my mission.
16:08
I'm just I'm super excited to be here.
16:11
Love, ya works. I'm super excited that you're
16:13
there too. Because I know that feeling, you
16:16
know, for the longest time, you know, and I struggle with mental
16:18
health too. So it's it's not like Beyond me
16:22
that something like, this could be life-changing for you.
16:25
Like, when I went down there, I had a purpose.
16:28
If, you know, for the longest time I was just kind of
16:29
stagnant. I was doing my show and I was
16:32
still trying to contribute in my only way that I knew how which
16:36
was hey, I I knew there were people that were similar to me,
16:40
you know, out there somewhere and I wanted to give them a
16:42
voice and I wanted to talk to them and give them a place where
16:45
they could feel comfortable. And the, you know, when I was
16:50
just like my YouTube channel doesn't make any money.
16:52
You know what? Get, I'm not rich.
16:55
I'm not that I'm not one of the big channels.
16:56
I'm a small Channel but I have a pretty good reach and because of
17:01
that, I want to make sure that I keep contributing back, give
17:04
people what they need. And when I went down there
17:07
myself, I was like, oh, this is what everyone talks about.
17:10
Like when when you go see, like I've seen a rocket launcher
17:13
before I saw the, I think was the demo to Mission, I think it
17:17
was. But I've never seen rocket
17:19
launch since then, but when I went down for the first launch,
17:22
I was like, oh, these are my people.
17:24
You know, when I saw my first rocket launches, like, oh, I
17:26
get, I got some homies again. I guess some people, you know,
17:29
because you grow up in like all your friends move away, and
17:32
we're you move away, you have to find new friends.
17:35
And like it's a struggle for a lot of People and myself
17:39
included and you go through parts of your life where you're
17:43
like questioning a lot of things and then you find some people
17:48
and you're like oh I got some I guess some people.
17:50
Now I got some I guess I'm back up.
17:52
So going back down or we're going to Starbase.
17:55
I felt the same way too like I was in Brownsville.
17:57
So I was pretty close and I was going down every day and filming
18:00
and meeting new people. Like the Australian gentleman
18:04
that I was talking about earlier, I think it might have
18:07
been actually from New Zealand. So I don't want to get it wrong.
18:09
So I'll just say a broad abroad like somewhere around there.
18:13
But, you know, in, you know, a bunch of filmers and
18:18
videographers and photographers and YouTubers, and everyone was
18:22
just cool. Everyone was cool.
18:24
I mean, there might be beef between like, some certain
18:26
factions in this thing that's like, dude, come on.
18:30
It's so silly. Yeah.
18:33
You don't see it and you don't feel it out of here.
18:36
No. Not at all.
18:36
Everyone's super nice. Everyone's really nice.
18:39
I didn't. They're hanging out last night
18:42
with like three different channels.
18:44
Yeah. And and it was great.
18:46
No. Be we had any problems and we
18:48
were just, I was actually from my trip in Oh, April last year
18:58

21:05
going on down here and that was, that was a great feeling to be
21:12
able to comprehend and to relate to people, down here.
21:17
Here's my hometown. It's a, it's a good town, but I

place where I can be myself. I'm not ashamed of what I've
21:43
gone through. Is my mental health and my
21:45
learning disability, only made me stronger.

23:15
pradana, couldn't read. But I can remember carrying that
23:19
book around with me as a child and blowing things up.
23:24
My dad likes rockets and and we Used to do model rocket, we used
23:28
to blow things up and had a blast.
23:31
So hopefully nothing here blows up.
23:34
Just I think they're going to be okay.
23:38
I think they're going to be okay.
23:39
What do you? So I'll go ahead.
23:41
I think yeah, I have all the faith in the world in same here.
23:48
I have seen the progress that they've made even even down to
23:54
the reinforcements, on the olm. Yeah, Didn't I do bold.
23:59
What to, you know, when I first started coming, it wasn't even
24:03
there. I mean, it was nothing.
24:06
There was no Allah LM when you first started now it's just,
24:09
doesn't it? That's not that's here early
24:13
days, man. That's like the very beginning.
24:16
I've got so many photos. Toes and late where the tank
24:20
farm is there, literally. So, if you're on the beach,
24:24
looking up, the only tank that was there was the one on the
24:28
right hand side. First one?
24:30
Oh, wow. That's wow.
24:33
They're your was rebar everywhere.
24:37
Dozers backhoes. And I'm like, what are they
24:41
doing with all this dirt? And sure enough.
24:44
There's State Farm now? Yeah.
24:48
But yeah, watching the progress has been amazing.
24:52
I was down here for the I think it was just six or seven engine
24:58
static fire we had over the summer.
25:02
I was three point eight miles away.
25:05
Let me tell you. That was incredible.
25:11
They I didn't understand different in a me on down.
25:17
Mmm, Yeah down. Its you for, you know, a good,
25:21
20, 30 s l--. Yeah.
25:24
For you heard anything. Um, the dogs knew it was
25:28
happening before. I did, like I barely on my
25:30
camera up and going again. The watching how how the ground
25:36
broke up Alvin Concrete broke up around are um, I was here for
25:41
the massive fire that scary. Oh yeah, the fire.
25:45
I forgot about that. I was here for the whole
25:49
duration of that and so it was scary.
25:52
But going down there now and looking at all the Improvement.
25:55
They'd me dear. There's no fears.
25:59
I just think the engineers, his crew has got this together.
26:04
Yeah. And they know that if anything
26:07
goes wrong, Wrong that that, I mean they're working closely
26:11
with the FAA, they're working closely with the government
26:14
bodies. So everybody knows that this is
26:16
a experimental rocket and things could go wrong in the FAA, you
26:21
know. They're so confident and SpaceX
26:24
is Technologies in their engineering that they gave them,
26:26
the go-ahead to launch this monstrosity of a rocket in.
26:31
It's so big. Like, I don't even understand
26:36
like I Can't put it into words. What it feels like to be that
26:41
close to that rocket because it yeah.
26:44
Because I've seen, you know, I've seen stuff at Kennedy Space
26:47
Center and you're like pretty close you know in Rockets are
26:50
100 and whatever feet tall like the smaller ones and we write
26:54
that you get close to Starship and you can be like a couple
26:58
hundred yards away from Starship and it's still like the biggest
27:03
thing you'll ever see. It's a skyscraper.
27:05
They're basically launching an apartment building like a 40s.
27:07
Apartment building into the air and then trying to land it.
27:11
It's just this crazy heart. I am so stoked about soon to be
27:17
able to see this thing lay in, but I don't eat, I can't even
27:22
comprehend it really. I'll be honest is, can be, I
27:27
can't comprehend what gonna be light.
27:30
Yeah, it's insane, the excitement of it, but like, when
27:35
you can go up and over the Rock, Get Garden.
27:39
You know and you walk down the road and you course you're like,
27:42
oh my supposed to be here. I didn't walk it on down that
27:45
road down the place. It's a bother me when they're
27:48
gonna kick me out. They'll kick me out so far as
27:50
right, right? Right.
27:52
They have their signs just as long as you don't get like on
27:55
their side of the things that you're fine.
27:57
It's just incredible what we're about to do.
28:01
It really is It's it's like in that's just the top of it.
28:08
Like that's just like, not even half of it because it's what 300
28:13
feet at the bottom. And then it's 150 like well
28:16
about 250 feet at the bottom, like the boosters 250 and then
28:19
the ship is like 150. So about 400 all together?
28:23
Yeah. Like War.
28:24
What iced tea? Like 4:30.
28:27
Yeah it's it's theirs. Yeah.
28:30
It's so like and not not only is it tall but it's like it's
28:36
girthy. Like this thing is is it's so
28:38
big. It's like the size of a house
28:41
like you go. Like if you walk into somebody's
28:43
house, you're like oh this is the size of a Starship, you
28:46
know? It's like Rocky, it's niche, I
28:49
can take I compared to my parrot, like my parents have a
28:52
gift. 5,500 square foot home. Hmm, yeah.
28:56
That's pretty big house. This rocket Is that big?
29:01
Yeah. Yeah.
29:02
Be early. It is like it's die.
29:05
Huge and did propellant, load is what blows my mind?
29:10
I don't even know the numbers off the top of my head, what it
29:13
can hold at full capacity. That is just insane.
29:19
Yeah, I don't I don't get it. There's pictures of somebody a
29:25
SpaceX employee next to one of the tanks inside.
29:31
It is just the biggest thing you'll ever see.
29:34
It's like this this person is dwarfed by this thing and that's
29:37
inside of the rocket. And then the rocket itself is
29:41
just it's so freaking big and I keep talking about it because I
29:46
still don't know how to Comprehend it?
29:48
I don't know how to figure it out in my head that this thing
29:50
is this big and it is literally like standing like you've ever
29:53
been. If you've ever been in New York
29:55
City and look up at the sky scrapers, it's like that.
29:58
Make this step from Liberty Irish.
30:00
Yeah, I was a kid and like I barely got to her feet.
30:05
Okay, that's as far as I was able to make, yeah, I'm begging
30:11
here. We have Starship and hit it, the
30:15
width of this thing. I know I've been over to the Bro
30:20
airport. I love saying bro, bro.
30:28
They have I think it s in he they have one of the grid fit
30:35
over that horse or some part of it.
30:38
I think they have it. They think they have a flap.
30:40
Like I think they have a wing. Yeah, are something there.
30:44
That thing is gigantic. Yeah, it's is Huish.
30:48
Yeah, I like that night and I don't know the diameter of bile.
30:54
But my understanding that things like bigger than Akita.
30:58
Yeah, yeah. They're like, yeah, they're
31:02
quite large. Yeah.
31:03
It's, it's a, it's such a massive scale and that like no
31:08
one's ever seen before. I mean, sort of Apollo like the
31:12
Apollo Rockets yet, like those are huge, but but most people
31:16
never get to see an Apollo Rocket up close.
31:19
Unless you go to the Rocket Garden at KSC or something like
31:22
that, if you go to you, Go, go to Kennedy Space Center.
31:24
You get to see an Apollo Rocket but it when it was being built
31:28
it was all in a warehouse someplace.
31:30
They're building it in a you know, Vehicle Assembly Building
31:33
and then nobody gets to see it. But here there's robot cameras
31:38
all over the place, you can see stuff like close up.
31:41
You can go there if you want to there.
31:43
So many YouTubers that are filming there and streaming,
31:46
they're constantly and it's, yeah, it's ridiculous.
31:51
Last night we had the drought. I mean, the drones going.
31:55
Oh wow, over the yeah yeah, there's one like final
31:59
inspections. I'm sure.
32:01
Yeah, lunch or even sorry, I'm sorry.
32:04
I got message. They're here.
32:06
That's right. But yes, the watching the Drone
32:10
last night was really, really cool of you and it came down
32:15
pretty low over the beat. So I think not only were they
32:19
doing inspection of everything, I think Elon just wanted some
32:23
footage of his people. Probably.
32:25
Yeah, I mean he's doing it. He's doing a talk tonight and
32:29
Twitter. He's doing it.
32:30
Twitter spaces, gonna be there. Are you okay cool.
32:33
Yeah. I should be able to make it,
32:35
which would be. I just want to listen to him and
32:37
I'm just, I'm gonna just be an observer and just listen and see
32:41
what's going to what's going to go down and what he plans on
32:44
doing if there's any backup plans, anything like that.
32:48
But I think it's going to be interesting to hear him talk
32:51
about like where if they if he does talk about it where they
32:54
came from, like what you were saying to where they are now,
32:57
and it's kind of funny. There are, I was I went down
33:02
this Rabbit Hole last night on YouTube of like, like Starship
33:06
haters. It was just like the worst toxic
33:08
thing I could have done last night, but it was like, I'll all
33:11
these people that were engineers.
33:13
That could that were saying that SpaceX could never even build a
33:18
launch site in that area. They can never build in Boca,
33:21
Chico's too close to the water, or it like there's, there's no
33:24
land underneath it. They can't support it.
33:27
It's going to be so heavy that the there was Many things that
33:31
they were saying couldn't happen.
33:33
And then seeing it launched Monday morning or Monday.
33:38
You know. Whatever is is like it's like 15
33:42
hours. Like, now?
33:42
What? Yeah, it's like that.
33:45
Now, what? Bro, nobody gonna take down
33:48
those videos, it's so funny. I did run into, you know, I like
33:53
to talk to the locals, especially the ones that live in
33:56
it. You can Village.
33:57
Yeah, yeah. These people really Lee, I met a
34:01
woman on the beach and then I met him down here, my hotel,
34:05
he's already been displaced from his home dozen Village, he's
34:09
there, 19 years and he had displaced from his home until
34:14
further. Notice spacex's put him up in a
34:18
hotel when everything and the he says that, you know, he's
34:22
talking about this spotlight. Mmm, he's on both sides it.
34:28
Yes, he loves rockets and seeing what's happening.
34:32
But his home his life has been altered forever.
34:36
Yeah. And and said that is, it is very
34:40
concerning. When you look at that, I
34:42
remember when the fire happened last year.
34:47
Big environmental people were out, and I was out there filming
34:51
it and so, they're all picking up these crabs everywhere.
34:55
And you got, I don't know what kind of crops they were.
34:58
We have blue crabs. And we have these ugly stick
35:01
fraps. Here's but But we have these
35:08
other ones that dig holes in everything.
35:11
Okay. Yeah.
35:12
And so like they were I understand the impact that this
35:17
is going to have on this area but Lord is doing it.
35:23
California's doing it. South Padre Island is not.
35:28
I believe that some man-made Island from my understanding or
35:33
at least part of this. Oh wow, I didn't know that.
35:37
It's dim lighting it. Okay so we're bringing in
35:40
rockets that are huge. Yes, they're going to do some
35:44
but look at all the people that we brought in here just to make
35:47
this a tourist attraction be dead or they're never here.
35:50
Yeah Dad's mirror that's where I'm trying to bury you in the
35:56
middle because you want to stay these Rockets are bad, the
35:59
environment all this but look at, you know, that your Liberty
36:05
all of these it L didn't shut it down from being bill.
36:10
Back whenever it was built but you can ride with the Angley be.
36:15
There's going to be an impact to the environment.
36:17
No matter what we do. Yeah.
36:19
It's just it's progress, you know, it's it's a human thing,
36:22
we progress, you know, we we also want to go to Mars and then
36:26
we want to go to other planets. So the progress that needs to be
36:30
made here in order to like further human experiments and,
36:36
you know, like just go further into the outer space.
36:39
Like we're going to And a person to Mars eventually, eventually
36:42
someone's going to go around Venus, you know, like so sunbae.
36:45
You know, someone's going to like land on Pluto or something?
36:48
Who knows? But it like this, it's equal to
36:52
here. Yeah.
36:53
To we have to have a gotta do. It started all this?
36:57
Yep. You know, I, I believe that if
37:02
we work supposed to be doing this, the powers that be
37:07
Creator. However, you want to say, it
37:08
wouldn't be allowing it. That I now I see it, you know?
37:12
Yeah, well it's just, it's just Humanity, you know, like we
37:16
always move forward, you know, every since you know, the dawn
37:20
of humans, started a fire some time and then I'm sure there are
37:24
people that were like, this fire is bad.
37:26
It's going to it's going to burn down the whole cave.
37:29
You know. The guys like know I can cook
37:34
food in this, we're going to be healthy because I could cook
37:36
this food and then we're going to get smarter and then we're
37:39
going to make a wheel. Oh and then we're going to make
37:41
engines in the like it's just progress.
37:43
Yeah. And that we have rockets that
37:45
are going to go, you know, 400-foot tall rocket sitter
37:48
gonna completely 100% launch and land perfectly.
37:55
Yeah, I believe with everything in me going you, I hope so.
37:59
Yeah, I really did even if the even if they make it to Stage
38:04
separation and something happens there that's fine.
38:09
You'll success. Uh yeah that's the thing.
38:13
As long as that rocket gets off the ground.
38:15
We're a success. Yep.
38:17
As long as it clears the tower and go like, goes towards the
38:19
gulf, it's 100% a success. This is to gather data like this
38:23
first. Launch is to gather data in the
38:25
more data, they get the better but if they can get any data,
38:29
that's better than none, you know, so there's no excuse me.
38:36
This is going to be, it's going to be life changing, not only
38:40
for me. Me.
38:40
But for everyone, I can remember, you know, two years
38:44
ago. People say, oh, it'll never
38:47
happen. It'll never happen.
38:48
He'll never get that thing off the ground.
38:50
Yep. And yeah.
38:53
There were like, we're less than a day away are we?
38:56
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
38:58
Gina hours. Yeah.
39:00
Yeah. In 20 hours away from this.
39:02
Yeah, that's an incredible. I got to post this tonight, so
39:07
it's not. I think I gotta put this out of
39:08
Channel tonight. I'm like, wait, I can't, we just
39:12
mentioned time. We can't post it tomorrow.
39:15
So I know we have a lot of stuff to do today.
39:18
So yeah, I'll let you get going but the rock.
39:21
Yeah, you gotta go the rocket. Like there's no reason to stay
39:23
here and talk to me with there's a rocket down there.
39:25
I totally get it. They I know I'm a rocket.
39:31
You know, you've got to go like I can just as raucous go chase
39:35
some Rockets. This is this has been great.
39:38
I appreciate you taking the time today to do.
39:40
This and well, yeah, keep in touch because I know it's going
39:44
to be an insane day, two days. Like, how long are you down
39:48
there for, by the way? And so, I don't know.
39:52
Somebody runs out. Yeah, dude, that's what that's
39:56
where I was at to. I was like, I'm gonna move down
39:58
there until my money runs out, and then it still, I can't go no
40:02
more. Yep, exactly.
40:03
Till the wheels. Fall off like that.
40:05
That's it Wheels. Follow Wheels, fall off.
40:07
That's what's that? Or until they rust, right?
40:13
From although seawater or the gulf water in the sand in the ah
40:20
it's place is brutal. I've got sand in places in my
40:24
vehicle in my computer and everything.
40:29
It is a hard life. Oh, worth it.
40:32
I've been, I've been gone from there for almost two year year
40:35
and a half two years or something.
40:37
I found sand in my trunk this morning.
40:40
Nick from It, Whatever. Probably yes.
40:43
It was like. I haven't even seen sad the
40:45
couple of years. Yeah, everything.
40:49
Everything it's just everything's handed and I just
40:51
like I washed my car regularly. Like I clean it out and
40:55
everything. Yeah, areas.
40:57
Well, you're running board up. Okay, okay, you're gonna ban,
41:02
oh, I'm sure it's gonna be a pile of sand in there now down
41:06
money. Well under mine, which was good.
41:08
That's good. But I still failed Dan me stains
41:13
and I had no clue. That could be there if it's so
41:18
nice. Yeah, yeah.
41:21
Definitely check it for sure. But this has been great will
41:26
thank you for having day. And I am, I'm stoked.
41:31
I recommend Chase rocket and do some more photos.
41:35
Got a good group of people meeting up later tonight.
41:37
So awesome, Rings. Yeah, well thanks for joining us
41:41
and I'll see you next time I guess.
41:43
And then enjoy the launch stay safe.
41:47
As always, you're a good friend. I'm so happy for you.
41:51
I'm so happy for you. Okay.
41:54
I I'm going to stop recording. Okay, bye.
