- 0:01I'm not really ready. But should we just do this?
- 0:04So we just do this. I'm not really like this is.
- 0:06Do it. Whatever cares?
- 0:09Who cares? Who cares?
- 0:10Let's just do this. Let's just get this going.
- 0:12This isn't this isn't rocket science here.
- 0:15This is a podcast. What's up everybody?
- 0:18Just getting going. I'm ready.
- 0:21Mentally. Ready, physically for this?
- 0:25Just hanging out. What's up?
- 0:26Bob Rigg? Welcome back, dude.
- 0:28Welcome back to set some stuff up here.
- 0:30Getting everything. Thing ready here in the studio
- 0:32studio? A back here in New York and
- 0:36yeah, getting ready. Got a lens cap for my camera,
- 0:39not going to use that. Had to get that out of the way.
- 0:41They had to get that off my keyboard.
- 0:42I don't know why that's on my keyboard, but thanks for
- 0:46stopping by everybody. I know I haven't done a lot of
- 0:51live shows lately. I've been trying to get
- 0:53resettled in the Northeast, so I apologize for that.
- 0:58And I hope everything is going well with you guys and you stick
- 1:01around. Around and hang out and hit the
- 1:02Subscribe button if you're not subscribed and also hit the
- 1:04thumbs up if you haven't yet just so we can boost the signal
- 1:07of the show because it's going to be happening more.
- 1:11So, you know, we're gonna be doing more live shows and all
- 1:14that stuff. More videos in the more, you
- 1:16guys, like the videos easier, it is for you to pick up on them
- 1:20and we have to get the signal out so we can show the world
- 1:23Starship SLS. We can show them super heavy.
- 1:25Show them all the cool stuff that's happening in space
- 1:28flight. Because I'm super pumped about
- 1:31it. So if you can just give this a
- 1:32like, they'll be really great. What's up space baller?
- 1:36How you doing, hope? Everyone's doing great out
- 1:38there, too. That's not space.
- 1:39Baller, but, thanks baseball, or for chiming, in, in the chat.
- 1:43Okay, here we go. Let's talk about some SLS stuff
- 1:49real quick. This is pretty cool.
- 1:52Actually I want to show you this.
- 1:54We got a I got a kind of rearrange some stuff here and
- 1:56then we'll start doing this thing.
- 2:00NASA has SLS back on the pad which is the Artemis one
- 2:04program. It's back in the pen, the wet
- 2:07dress rehearsal will be happening soon.
- 2:09So let's take a look at what NASA Kennedy Space Center has to
- 2:12say about that. The next artist, wet dress
- 2:15rehearsal attempt is targeted for no more earlier than June
- 2:1819th and it's kind of coincides with Nothing else that's going
- 2:21on with SpaceX because it's it's all happening really, really
- 2:27fast, right? So like the SLS stuff, the
- 2:30Artemis stuff and also Starship stuff is all kind of happening
- 2:34in June July August. Like this summer, might be
- 2:38possibly the most insane summer of spaceflight that's happened
- 2:45in a really long time because you can have some Falcon heavy
- 2:48stuff going on. There's four flights coming up.
- 2:50Really. Yeah, I think it's four flights
- 2:52coming up at the end of this year and Artemis is going to be
- 2:56ready soon. And also Starship is going to be
- 3:00in the picture as well. Hopefully if all goes well with
- 3:03the FAA and I'll go as well with their systems, it could be an
- 3:06incredible like crazy crazy time for spaceflight this summer and
- 3:12going into late, you know, late summer of this year.
- 3:16So we have some predictions, you know, future.
- 3:20Addictions for Starship and just from the stuff that I know from
- 3:26actually being next to Starship and being near there and living
- 3:3020 minutes away from there, I have some predictions of when
- 3:33everything is going to happen and what needs to be done and
- 3:37stuff. So I'll get to that a little bit
- 3:40later on in the show. But for right now let's talk
- 3:42about some SLS. The mega rocket, the Artemis
- 3:47program next wet dress rehearsal attempt.
- 3:51No earlier than June 19th. What is that?
- 3:53This 11 days away? No early in the earlier than 11
- 3:57days, we have to check the systems before the do the wet
- 3:59dress rehearsal. Make sure all the pipes work,
- 4:02make sure all the tubing Works. Make sure all the suppression
- 4:06systems work. This is basically like they're
- 4:08setting this thing up for, you know, basically flight.
- 4:14But without the fly. So everything that's included in
- 4:18the flight of a SLS rocket. Cuit, the space launch system
- 4:22rocket. They're doing everything for the
- 4:25wet dress, rehearsal, getting everything prepared and then
- 4:30they're just not pushing the button to let it go.
- 4:32That's pretty much it and they're going to check out on
- 4:34the system's, make sure everything works fine.
- 4:36And then from there they're going to basically get it ready
- 4:42again you know if it's on the pad and it's ready and it passes
- 4:44the wet dress rehearsal, then they can either see if they want
- 4:50to do another wedding rehearsal. Basically load it back up the
- 4:53propeller Load it back up the fuel, load it back up with cryo,
- 4:57get it ready to go and then from there there's a possibility that
- 5:02they do it again, just to make sure they're going to, you know,
- 5:07they got to run their countdown clock.
- 5:08They're going to do everything with that there.
- 5:10And then they get a recycle it to the going to demonstrate the
- 5:14ability to recycle, the countdown clock, which is even
- 5:18though those things seem sort of trivial the countdown clock is
- 5:22very important because Cuz those systems are in place in order to
- 5:26tell the rocket, what to do, when to go when to launch what,
- 5:31you know, everything all the systems in place.
- 5:33So they have to demonstrate the ability to recycle the countdown
- 5:36clock because if something does kind of go off a little bit,
- 5:41it's a little bit weird. They have to make sure that all
- 5:44the systems are in place to kind of mitigate those circumstances.
- 5:47So they're going to conduct a full launch countdown at this
- 5:51and I want to check out this video.
- 5:53By the way, this is how big SLS is, this is how big the rocket
- 5:57as it is huge, it's going down elevator.
- 6:02If the vamp at the Vehicle Assembly Building, this is the
- 6:04you know it's going to the decent clip.
- 6:06You're at the top of the SLS right now.
- 6:10It just look at how long it takes for this thing to go down
- 6:13by the way, this is insane. This is insanely huge.
- 6:16You're in an elevator, you close in this that you're not even to
- 6:19the actual propellant tanks yet. Look at this thing.
- 6:24Look at this, how big this is by the way.
- 6:26I'm so excited about this and it's so cool.
- 6:29It's so so cool. And see Davis, thank you so
- 6:31much. I don't know if you get a
- 6:32Starship. What's up, KJ?
- 6:35How you doing? Welcome everybody, if you're not
- 6:37here make sure to hit that like button.
- 6:39Maybe we can get 420 or 42069 likes on this video you'll see
- 6:45that throughout the show. But look at how long this takes
- 6:47and see Davis. You're amazing for booster
- 6:50Landings. Please.
- 6:50Let's see if we can get that for you.
- 6:52I hope I said to her. If you could just go and here we
- 6:56go. Get you at least get you a
- 6:57couple here. We'll get you a bunch.
- 6:59There we go. Thank you so much.
- 7:00And see Davis, thank you for supporting the show and
- 7:03supporting my journey into space flight through the last three
- 7:08and a half years. Basically, very cool man.
- 7:11Frank, we're just going to wait through this and then we're
- 7:15going to get some Starships, RN c--, Davis.
- 7:16We're going to wait through this video.
- 7:17Look at a long. This takes this is a pretty
- 7:20decently fast elevator, too. You know, how is that possible?
- 7:26How is that even possible? I mean this thing is gigantic.
- 7:30300-plus feet tall, almost 400 feet tall all together, you
- 7:34know, with the with the launch platform and everything it is
- 7:38huge, you don't realize how big these things are until you're
- 7:42actually there. So that's why in I included this
- 7:45video today of just going down this elevator and how big it
- 7:48actually is because you can see a person next to it, right?
- 7:51But then you don't see how actually like big big it is
- 7:57because you just see kind of like a little Tiny person and
- 7:59then you can God be like, okay that's pretty big, but if you
- 8:02see it from the top to the bottom of the elevator, you're
- 8:05like, oh dang, okay, I see this. This is huge Seda, was I think
- 8:11we're at like six rocket launches.
- 8:12Now, look at that. And then you have the
- 8:15transporter right there at the bottom with the tank treads.
- 8:18Look at that right at the bottom there.
- 8:20All the way down from top, to bottom.
- 8:23Absolutely insane. Very cool.
- 8:25Let's see, Davis, thank you so much again for the super that $4
- 8:29for booster Landings, there you go.
- 8:31Then we get a little extra here, get a little extra.
- 8:37Let's go up a little bit, let's go up.
- 8:42How about you go down, then you go up.
- 8:43This is how big this thing is. It's insane.
- 8:46It's insanely huge. So the the Artemis program, if
- 8:51you will, the reading it for another wet dress, rehearsal
- 8:55Engineers will conduct a final test known as the wdr, the wet
- 8:59dress, rehearsal of the space launch system.
- 9:02The Orion spacecraft in the exploration ground systems
- 9:04before Artemis one We will launch a pad 39b at Kennedy
- 9:10Space Center in Florida. We're still run the Artemis one
- 9:14launch Team through operations to load, propellant into the
- 9:17Rockets conduct, a full launch countdown demonstrate, the
- 9:21ability to recycle the countdown clock and also drain the tanks
- 9:23to give them an opportunity to practice the timelines and
- 9:26procedures. They will use during the launch
- 9:28cycle because if something were to go wrong.
- 9:31So this is the thing with these gigantic Rockets, Anything is
- 9:34Possible. So if something were to go
- 9:36wrong, they need to be able to drain the tanks immediately.
- 9:40They need to just reset everything immediately, get all
- 9:43that propellant out of there because if they don't get it out
- 9:45of there in time, if something were to catastrophically happen.
- 9:48Bye-bye rocket. It rides.
- 9:50It, it immediately goes the show is brought to you by backblaze.
- 9:55I use back place to back up my podcast.
- 9:58My video files, all of my writing stuff, and all my
- 10:01photos, and you get unlimited computer backup for Macs and PCs
- 10:04for just Seven dollars a month, you can back up your own
- 10:07documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
- 10:11data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
- 10:14using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
- 10:18to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
- 10:21This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail or
- 10:23hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
- 10:27to your door. I could come to your business to
- 10:28and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
- 10:32hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30.
- 10:35D days and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
- 10:39hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
- 10:42it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
- 10:45You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
- 10:49teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
- 10:51accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
- 10:54can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
- 10:58it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
- 11:01So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
- 11:04you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.

- 12:03He'll on bye-bye. And billions of dollars go down
- 12:08the drain and they have to start over again.
- 12:10The Artemis to is a little bit of different configuration from
- 12:13artists one. So they'd have to restart with
- 12:17Artemis to kind of that's a back-up plan.
- 12:20If Artemis once something happens on the pad and it runs
- 12:22or if it runs in the air Artemis to can take over from where
- 12:26Artemis one rutted. So it's going to be a two-day
- 12:30test though. And this is what's going to
- 12:33happen. They're going to be activating
- 12:35the Silat. He's, I'm reading this off,
- 12:37like, I have some notes over here.
- 12:38So, if you see me glancing over here, that's why because I can't
- 12:40remember all this stuff. It's just, it's immense.
- 12:42Amounts of information would be activating the facilities for
- 12:47the launch. And beginning the countdown
- 12:49sequence, they'll still staff the control center as well.
- 12:55So there's a bunch of people hundreds of people that are
- 12:58involved in this process. So, the command center at
- 13:02Kennedy Space Center, it is, Intense what they're doing with
- 13:07Artemis one, it's the biggest rocket that NASA has ever flown,
- 13:11and it will be if it launches before Starship, the biggest
- 13:16rocket that will ever fly and one star ship launches though.
- 13:20This thing is, you know, there it's in the same league, it's a
- 13:24super heavy rocket, there's no like, what's better, what's
- 13:28worse? You know, they both do the job,
- 13:30right? So, They have the staff this
- 13:33place up, though. So they go through all those
- 13:35settings, they go through everything they stay, put
- 13:37everybody. It basically it's a dress
- 13:41rehearsal for a movie, you know, but they do it instead of a
- 13:44movie you know, reading the script and all that stuff, you
- 13:47know. And you talk to your friends and
- 13:48talk to your your other actors and stuff.
- 13:51But instead of that, it's for Rocket, the biggest rocket that
- 13:55will ever fly. If it flies before Starship.
- 13:59Of course. So this is, this is an insane
- 14:02thing that they're doing. So they're going to be
- 14:06connecting staff at the Mission Control Center at NASA Johnson,
- 14:11Space Center in Houston. Space force Eastern range in the
- 14:15SLS. Engineering Support Center at
- 14:18Marshall space. Flight center in Huntsville,
- 14:20Alabama. So it's not just happening at
- 14:22the pad. It's happening all over the
- 14:24United States. Launch controllers will power on
- 14:28different Rock in the spacecraft systems along with ground
- 14:31support equipment, for this crazy wet dress rehearsal.
- 14:35Now, if it happens June 16th, Could possibly launch sometime
- 14:40this summer. August/september.
- 14:44Probably more more. So, in September I'm assuming
- 14:48late late August early September.
- 14:52I'm thinking, let me, there's a, there's a chart that I didn't
- 14:58bring up. Unfortunately, But I know it.
- 15:05I know where it is, so I can find it real quick.
- 15:14Give me a second here for the launch opportunities of artists,
- 15:17One mission availability, here we go.
- 15:22July 26th of August 10th, 13, launch opportunities, August
- 15:2623rd, through September 6. Let's check this out.
- 15:29I'll show you guys this. Real quick.
- 15:34Let me go back to this other thing too, by the bye.
- 15:37Let's do this. Then we'll go back here.
- 15:39It will go like this Mission availability.
- 15:43So let's go down this list here just so I can show you guys.
- 15:45This. July 26, through August 10th, 13
- 15:50launch opportunities. No launch availability on the
- 15:521st 2nd and 6th August 23rd through the 6th of September
- 15:56preliminary. So we could start July 26th but
- 16:00I'm assuming it's going In August August 23rd, through
- 16:03September 6. It's because there's just so
- 16:06much to do after this wet dress rehearsal.
- 16:08It's basically a full reset. After the wet dress rehearsal,
- 16:12getting all the systems ready. There's 12 launch opportunity
- 16:14between August 23rd, and September 6.
- 16:16August 30th, 31st and September 1st, not going to work September
- 16:2020th. So they have a little break
- 16:23here. So, September 6th to the 20th.
- 16:26They have a 14-day period. There was a not going to do it
- 16:30until October 4th. 14 launch opportunities, October 17th
- 16:35through October, 31st, 11 launch opportunities.
- 16:38And then November 12 through November 27th. 12 longevity has
- 16:42ended December 2011 opportunities, December 9th
- 16:45through the 23rd. How cool would it be if they
- 16:48launched it on the 23rd of December?
- 16:50Sort of like a like a Christmas thing, I think that'd be pretty
- 16:54sweet but you know, you never know.
- 16:57Really, you know, there's There's a lot to there's a lot
- 17:02to do in between the wet dress rehearsal and the actual launch.
- 17:05So there's a there's a ton more for them to do for the on this
- 17:10rocket and we'll see like that's pretty much where we're at right
- 17:15now. I like well we'll see what they
- 17:16do but if they get through the wet dress rehearsal, we're in a
- 17:19good spot. So you know, Artemis Mission.
- 17:24Hopefully it works out well. Hopefully it works out well and
- 17:27hopefully the wet dress rehearsal works out.
- 17:29Well, don't really in the June 19th and when they do the wet
- 17:34dress rehearsal, I'm hoping to have a live stream from NASA for
- 17:38that, so hopefully we're going to have that and then we're
- 17:40gonna have a countdown between now.
- 17:43And then, we're gonna have a live stream countdown where
- 17:46commentary Etc, through. Probably starting, what things
- 17:51today. Let me see.
- 17:51Where's my phone? How do you know where my phone
- 17:53is? it's the eighth, so probably
- 18:01Probably start since it's not the 19th.
- 18:03Probably start like the 15th or something, we'll do a countdown
- 18:05show, and I get everybody ready for that.
- 18:08Get everyone pumped up about the Artemis program because like,
- 18:12you know, people like to choose sides, like they like, they like
- 18:15to be on one side or another. And this is kind of a funny
- 18:19thing because it's like, sure I love SpaceX.
- 18:22I think they do a insanely cool stuff.
- 18:25I also love NASA. I thought I had a sap love.
- 18:30SLS, Starship, Falcon, heavy, Ula, all of it.
- 18:33I love all spaceflight. So people like to pick sides and
- 18:37I really hope that the SLS can kind of be like, okay, we can do
- 18:42this all together. We don't all have to be fighting
- 18:45all the time like to would come on, get over yourself.
- 18:48If you think SpaceX is better than NASA.
- 18:50That's fine. That's fine.
- 18:52You can think SpaceX is better than NASA.
- 18:53And so many regards and I would agree with you in the A lot of
- 18:56lot of ways that SpaceX is working faster and cheaper than
- 19:00NASA, iterating Starship. It's such a Breakneck Pace, it's
- 19:04insanely cool. But also the Artemis program is
- 19:09going to sort of set the groundwork for future human
- 19:13space flight and also future humans, working in space so
- 19:18working together like SpaceX and NASA are going to be working
- 19:21together. So there's no real reason to
- 19:23fight. You know what I'm saying?
- 19:25Like, Sex, the NASA, their buddies.
- 19:29So why would we pick a side? Or why would you pick a side and
- 19:32kind of, like, pick a team when those people aren't fighting
- 19:37anyway? Like, it doesn't make any sense
- 19:39to me. It's like a SpaceX is doing
- 19:40things better than NASA but NASA doing might be no some stuff
- 19:44better than SpaceX. Just I mean, send some people to
- 19:47the Moon. They got to be pretty credible
- 19:49about this stuff, you know, come on.
- 19:52So I'm saying, is it can be everything.
- 19:56It can be both Ilan said for Falcon, heavy flights later this
- 20:01year by an incredible team at SpaceX, Yeah, for Falcon.
- 20:07Have you faced later this year? It's going to be cool.
- 20:09So we're going to have SLS. We're going to have the Artemis,
- 20:12one launch. We're going to have hopefully
- 20:15cross our fingers. We're going to have a Starship
- 20:18launch of some sort by the end of this year and also for Falcon
- 20:22heavy flights. If they can get all the boosters
- 20:25back, Tau P. Super cool man.
- 20:27I would be super pumped about that.
- 20:29I mean come on Falcon heavy. That's probably Why?
- 20:36I don't know my second favorite rocket.
- 20:38I don't know. I have a, I have a thing for for
- 20:42Starship. Right?
- 20:43Because of course, I moved to Texas for Starship.
- 20:48I basically just like move my whole life for a Starship and
- 20:51hopefully they're going to be doing a full stack of Starship
- 20:55soon. They have some road closures
- 20:59coming out that we'll talk about in a minute and there's some
- 21:01other stuff that's happening at Starbase with the FAA and that
- 21:06could possibly happen in the next month or two, you know,
- 21:11space like still has a lot of work to do even though you know
- 21:15Elon is very, he's always, and he always is, you know, you know
- 21:19how he is, but he's always wanting SpaceX to push so hard.
- 21:25Such a Breakneck pace and you know, the the fact that We're
- 21:33really close. Like we're closer than we were
- 21:35last year and now I want to know.
- 21:37Let me know chat. And I know there's a bunch of
- 21:39you guys here who who probably thought about this before, but
- 21:43What do you think of the FAA when they stopped SpaceX from
- 21:48testing down? At Starbase when they stopped
- 21:51and they said, okay, we got to do an environmental review for
- 21:53this thing. And do you think SpaceX was
- 21:57ready with ship 20 and booster for to launch?
- 22:02Do you think they were ready? Because I've heard so many
- 22:05different stories. So many different theories from
- 22:07people about the hardware about the software, about the people
- 22:11about the building practices. Starbase and I don't know to be
- 22:16honest with you if SpaceX was ready with booster for her yeah
- 22:21booster foreign ship 20. So for 20 and I'm I'm a huge 420
- 22:27fan. I'm a huge booster for ship 20
- 22:30fan, but I don't know if they were ready.
- 22:35You know, did they find something with raptor one?
- 22:38That is possible that they just were like, okay, well we gotta
- 22:42wait. Anyway, Raptor choose almost
- 22:45ready. Let's just push through to
- 22:46Raptor to. Is that a possibility?
- 22:51Did they find something that wasn't exactly.
- 22:53Perfect with booster for ship 20?
- 22:55Well, I don't think we'll ever know.
- 22:57No one's ever gonna come out and say it from SpaceX themselves.
- 23:01But is it possible that FAA actually kinda did SpaceX a
- 23:05favor here by postponing them so long that they have the
- 23:08opportunity to build Raptor twos and integrate them?
- 23:13To the new booster and the new ship is that a possibility.
- 23:20So it's, you know, booster for ship 20 may have read it on the
- 23:26pad. Because Ilana, said this so many
- 23:29times that Raptor to is a better rocket or better engine and more
- 23:36efficient higher, thrust safer, less complex than raptor1.
- 23:43So, Is there a possibility that Raptor like the FAA in some way?
- 23:48In some weird weird way, kind of help SpaceX in this whole thing
- 23:54and say, Davis's, I'm also a huge for 25, but I think they
- 23:56would have gone ahead and launched it.
- 23:58If they could, you'll never shies away from failure.
- 24:00Think there's a higher chance of success due to fááá's delays.
- 24:06But Elon was ready to light that candle.
- 24:08Yeah, I think he was I think he was at some point.
- 24:12I think that's a that's the differentiator between SpaceX
- 24:16and other things, you know? Is that they're willing to take
- 24:22those risks. But how far back would they have
- 24:27pushed development? If they would have read it on
- 24:30the pad? Like I like, I know I've been,
- 24:36I've been there, I've seen this thing up close, it is such a
- 24:42complex mechanism, just on the pad that self that if they would
- 24:47have, if they would have run. It it on the pad.
- 24:51Like it would have taken a months to rebuild, maybe half a
- 24:54year, maybe a year. I don't know.
- 24:56But I think they would have done it.
- 24:57I don't know. I really, I really think they
- 24:59would have done it, but I think the FAA and some way even though
- 25:03they probably didn't mean to do this.
- 25:05Yeah, they probably put SpaceX in a better spot.
- 25:09Bye. By pausing them for a little
- 25:15bit, you know, so we'll see. We'll see, I don't know.
- 25:19I think, I think in the future we'll get the answer from
- 25:22somebody like somebody's going to ask Ilan if that was actually
- 25:26going to be a thing and if it was going to be a thing, maybe,
- 25:30you know, maybe we'll get the answer eventually in the future.
- 25:34Sound is too low. Red Rim really okay I'll have to
- 25:37have to adjust that a little bit.
- 25:38See if I can boost my signal little bit.
- 25:41There we go. There we go.
- 25:42Let's see. That's as high as I can get it
- 25:44for right now and I don't want any have an air conditioner over
- 25:47here. So I have to keep it a little
- 25:48bit low, the air conditioners like directly blowing into my
- 25:51microphone. So I have to keep it a little
- 25:53bit lower because my Noise Gate is picking it up.
- 25:55Everybody thing is picking it up Bob Rigg says, I'm 100% behind
- 26:01SpaceX but I like, but I like NASCAR, it would be boring.
- 26:04If there are only one car on the track, so I hope another company
- 26:06gets up and going Bob Brink, I agree with you.
- 26:10I want, I want all the super happy Rockets, you know.
- 26:14I want. I want blue origin.
- 26:17I want you LA to make it super heavy.
- 26:19I want Boeing. Anybody who cares?
- 26:22Yeah. Like I want everybody to make a
- 26:24super heavy and I want everybody to be like launching gigantic
- 26:28things into space, you know, giant telescopes.
- 26:31I mean, imagine if we had telescopes you know the like the
- 26:36size of a double-decker bus, you know how Would that be like
- 26:41three times the size of Hubble? That would be absolutely
- 26:45incredible. So could you imagine that?
- 26:48I mean, come on. That's what's going to happen in
- 26:50the field, like it's a future thing.
- 26:52You know, if people always keep pushing for it but it takes a
- 26:56ton of money, I don't know why. The other big companies didn't
- 27:02think of building a super heavy rocket, other than it would take
- 27:05them, billions of dollars to do it and you know, stock prices
- 27:09and You know, shareholders and things like that.
- 27:12Like who's going to really support a company?
- 27:16That's like, oh, by the way we're making crap, tons of
- 27:19money, just being part of the Department of Defense and also,
- 27:24you know, we, you know, contract out the NASA and built some
- 27:28parts for other things and we make a bunch of money that way
- 27:31or, you know, that's just, that's the put a couple billion
- 27:33bucks into a super heavy rocket, see where it goes, you know, we
- 27:37don't have any customers yet. Now, but that we don't have any
- 27:39customers yet. You know, we're going to build
- 27:41this giant rocket and then see what happens.
- 27:44Like that's kind of probably what the shareholders were
- 27:48thinking. It's like, oh man.
- 27:50And like people at the top, like the top brass, you know, like
- 27:52the people that are the very highest like CEOs and stuff, but
- 27:56these big companies like why would we build a giant?
- 27:58Super heavy rocket. Like, there's no reason to do
- 28:00it, plus already contracted for the SLS.
- 28:02You know, most of these companies, why would they build
- 28:05their own? You know, they're going to have
- 28:07to go out and get other customers and like there were no
- 28:11other customers, you know, there's no customers for a super
- 28:14heavy yet in that regard and then SpaceX was like we're going
- 28:18to build it anyway and then we're going to launch our star
- 28:20legs and then we don't need customers because Sterling is
- 28:23going to make us tons of money. So they did it a different way.
- 28:27They didn't get the traditional customers where somebody like
- 28:30you LA or or you know, any other company out there would get a
- 28:34traditional customer where They would have to sell them on a
- 28:37launch SpaceX. Is their own their own Customer
- 28:43because they have starlink and the deck that Elon was talking
- 28:46about the other day. See if I can find those for you,
- 28:49he had, I can show you this. Yeah, there we go.
- 28:57He tweeted this out the other day.
- 28:59V2. Satellite production starlink.
- 29:03So this is a super. This is Starship, super heavy.
- 29:07This is from his Twitter account at Elon Musk.
- 29:10If you don't know. So as you can see, I you can't
- 29:13probably can't really see that too well, but in this Center
- 29:16area here, it's like a Pez dispenser and it's like when you
- 29:20open up the front of this thing of the Starship, these things
- 29:24pop out. Look at that.
- 29:25It's like little smile. He's like hey, check this out.
- 29:28Look at all my eyes. Look at all myself, and it's
- 29:30just Shoot some out, like a Pez, dispenser drops him down.
- 29:35Shoots him out, drop some down, shoots it out.
- 29:37They said they were having complications with that thing
- 29:38and it's super impressive. Like if this actually works
- 29:44dude, Like this is pretty freaking sweet like hundreds of
- 29:50satellites. And then they fly this thing
- 29:54back. They reload it.
- 29:57They do another launch, like they land it.
- 30:01I mean the first few will be Expendable right?
- 30:04First you'll be Expendable. So this is from a pitch to are
- 30:10from a deck from a SpaceX. All Hands meeting from the other
- 30:14day but like how insane is that just to just to think that like
- 30:20who thought this up? I want to know who the person
- 30:23was. That was in this meeting.
- 30:24I was like, you know what, we could do, why don't you make a
- 30:27little slit in the side of a Starship?
- 30:30Like because they had the idea, let's show you this too.
- 30:34Well, show you this. We're going to get off in a
- 30:36little little tangent here, but you got to show you this part
- 30:40here. Then we'll scroll down a little
- 30:42bit. Starship.
- 30:47It's a flip top lid right there. So this is how they were going
- 30:50to do it. Right there.
- 30:52They're going to have this little flip top and then we're
- 30:55going to shoot satellites out of the top of it.
- 30:56This is from the from the SpaceX website but it's kind of a small
- 31:01animation. Let's see if I can open image in
- 31:04new tab. There we go.
- 31:07But look at how it flip top lid. You know, like the top of it
- 31:10flips open, then they're like, wha How would they do that but
- 31:15also launched hundreds of satellites without them kind of
- 31:19getting stuck on the lid? You know, and what would, how
- 31:22would they how they do that? And then somebody in a meeting
- 31:25was like just cut a hole in it, then we can shoot them out.
- 31:31Who thought about that? Like the scent starlink ones you
- 31:36just kind of like play you know like they just go play and they
- 31:40just fall out kind of and then they reap.
- 31:43Position themselves to the right spot but like this would be this
- 31:47agreat idea. But it's very technically like
- 31:49how do you keep this thing? Hinged.
- 31:53During launch. During flight.
- 31:56It's absolutely incredible. But how do you do it without
- 32:01ripping the thing apart? It has to be.
- 32:02Absolutely perfect. So, at this point, I think the
- 32:06hole in the front like the little slit that they have is
- 32:09probably the better option because I mean it seems crazy
- 32:14like this seems crazy. Like look at this thing, it
- 32:19seems absolutely insane but it also just makes sense in a way.
- 32:26So they're going to have to. So the force of the starlink
- 32:29shooting out the front, we're going to have to kind of propel
- 32:31it forward as well as they're doing this.
- 32:35I believe because I would assume the force going out the front,
- 32:39in some way would kind of push. I don't know, I don't know,
- 32:43because I think is huge. I don't know if it's relative,
- 32:47you know, I don't know if it would it would have to push back
- 32:49with some sort of thrust but I don't think so.
- 32:51For the first couple here for the first flight, I think it's
- 32:54going to be fine. Looking to see if it works.
- 32:58You know, booster seven Raptor to.
- 33:00They have a little undercarriage here, Raptor to Ilan said that
- 33:05just recently. They're installing all of the
- 33:08Raptors on the next booster, so booster 7.
- 33:13So it's gonna be 24/7. Eventually, we'll be launching
- 33:17hopefully, but here's the kind of an up close.
- 33:20Look at those Raptors underneath Starship to yeah, pop bring says
- 33:29I think the SpaceX was close but not quite ready.
- 33:31So, FAA was not totally at fault.
- 33:33Yeah, I think they were. I think they're really close,
- 33:35but I think they were. Yeah, I think they weren't quite
- 33:37ready yet and I was down there during the whole construction
- 33:39phase the 420. So, I have all the footage I
- 33:42have like, hundreds of hours of footage that I took on the side
- 33:44of the road of 420. And that's kind of where we're
- 33:47going to go to eventually to is like, what is the, what's the
- 33:52timeline for this thing? You know, what do they still
- 33:55have to do? How much time do these things?
- 33:59Take how much do they learn from doing for 20 and then they're
- 34:02going to take it to 24/7, you know.
- 34:05So it's like there's so many other factors going on is the
- 34:11launch pad ready? There's still people working on
- 34:14it every day so I don't see them being ready with the Launchpad
- 34:19unless they're they're working up until launch and you know,
- 34:25stage zero but the if they're working up to the launch and
- 34:30then there's going to like cut it off at some point like they
- 34:32might even already be ready enough.
- 34:35You know, the suppression the water suppression.
- 34:37We saw a little trickle of that a little bit ago like about a
- 34:40month ago, but there's no other indicator indicators that there
- 34:44is a launch suppression system like a sound suppression system
- 34:47setup. That's actually going to be able
- 34:49to handle 33 Raptors. Like that's a lot.
- 34:53So each and astronauts that I think they could have launched
- 34:57420. Given the chance we knew it
- 34:59probably would have rented, but or he knew it would have
- 35:02probably read it but he would take that chance.
- 35:04See, I think. That's true.
- 35:06But I also think the engineer and him doesn't want to rebuild
- 35:11stage zero, you know. Maybe they would do it, you
- 35:16know, since State 0 was kind of a baby at that point.
- 35:19Maybe they would do it be like, yeah, whatever.
- 35:20We'll cut our losses, you know? But the sooner they get to orbit
- 35:24the sooner. They can launch the next star
- 35:27links and then they could start making more money.
- 35:29So that'll be pretty cool. How long do you think it will
- 35:31take for Ula to test PE for on Vulcan Adam?
- 35:36Months, once they get them already, I think it'll take
- 35:39months there. You have to do, static fires.
- 35:41May have to do fit test. Check test.
- 35:45Looks like everything else. You know, they have to fit test.
- 35:47All the engines, they have to do.
- 35:52Basically all the piping that's on a Vulcan and the be four
- 35:59engines. Yeah, Rory's going to get his
- 36:01engines but it could take months, you know.
- 36:05No, I think it'll take four to six months before they actually
- 36:08get this thing. I'm like cool.
- 36:09You know, high risk. High reward says Blake.
- 36:13Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- 36:16I think I think that's the thing.
- 36:18Maybe it would have been high risk of reward or a high risk.
- 36:21High Rudd. You know?
- 36:24It's a pellet machine. Yeah.
- 36:25Adam it is. Yeah.
- 36:26It's basically a machine just clunk clunk, clunk clunk clunk
- 36:30clunk to shoot these things out. That's what they said in the
- 36:36everyday astronaut video to is like it's kind of like a pillow
- 36:40machine. I think that's what he said.
- 36:43But yeah, just like, come come, come, come come.
- 36:47Yeah. This goes down and down, and
- 36:48down, shoots him out the front. It's pretty impressive, to be
- 36:51honest with you. Any news on Phobos and Deimos
- 36:57Frakes? No, not yet.
- 36:58I, I've heard there are a few Rumblings about them but that's
- 37:02not a, not really a high priority right now.
- 37:06So they're just kind of like sitting around there.
- 37:08Still ripping them apart a little bit.
- 37:10So they're figuring out what the next steps are and things but I
- 37:14don't think there's really any like high level building going
- 37:17on at this point with those two. Jeff Francis.
- 37:21Hey man, what's up? Yes.
- 37:23So that was pretty much it for Starship, I think.
- 37:26Let's take a look at. So the environmental review for
- 37:31Starbase is almost ready. We're so pumped so and 86 13.
- 37:39We have like five days left. It's the eighth right now. 6:13
- 37:45in progress. Everything is ready Endangered
- 37:48Species. Act section 106, The Endangered
- 37:51Species Act consultation number two, Magnuson Stevenson Stevens,
- 37:55fishery conservation and management act section 305 is
- 37:57done. Everything looks done.
- 38:00And then we have a date of 613 basically so they can like cross
- 38:03the t's and Dot the I's and things.
- 38:05So we have a few more extra days left but this is important to
- 38:10section 4 F has concluded section.
- 38:13For f and this is from the other pages is the environmental
- 38:17assessment for Starbase SpaceX. The project is a SpaceX Starship
- 38:21super heavy launch vehicle program at the SpaceX Boca Chica
- 38:24launch site in Cameron County, Texas, whoo.
- 38:29Yeah. So this is a this is kind of a
- 38:32rundown of what this thing. The completion of the
- 38:34environmental review process does not guarantee that the FAA
- 38:37will, this will issue an experimental permit or vehicle.
- 38:40Operator, license for SpaceX super-heavy launches at Boca,
- 38:44Chica SpaceX license application must also meet FAA safety risk
- 38:48and financial responsibility requirements. / 14, CFR chapter
- 38:533. Yeah, so the FAA and SpaceX,
- 39:00they have to come to an agreement after this that
- 39:03they're okay to launch. This thing.
- 39:05You know, that it's not a risk. Really, it's very safe at the
- 39:10same, as you can get it and financial responsibility
- 39:13requirements as well. So financial responsibility,
- 39:16meaning, do they have enough money to do it?
- 39:18They have enough money to continue doing it, etc, etc.
- 39:21So this environmental review, I mean that SpaceX can launch
- 39:27right away. They have to get an FAA launch
- 39:29license. And that could literally take
- 39:32months, if not a year, depending on what system SpaceX has shown
- 39:37them. How much information is out
- 39:39there already when they file how they file, you know, if if they
- 39:46have to make concessions for this environmental impact study,
- 39:51so that Peña could say, hey, we're going to give you this
- 39:56Give you the okay, but you can only do it.
- 39:59If you do these few things could be a list of 15, 20 things could
- 40:04be a list of two or three things, but because nobody knows
- 40:08at this point, what it's going to be about.
- 40:09We have a we assume that it's going to pass.
- 40:12So the the fact that this goes through could also possibly
- 40:19postponed SpaceX for a couple more months, you know, they
- 40:23could have to do. Other environmental risk
- 40:28management at this point and that could take them hiring
- 40:32certain people to do that to do those tasks, whatever they are.
- 40:36And that could take months to find the right people and also
- 40:40if they do that and then they have to prove it to the FAA
- 40:43again and prove it for the PE a kind of environment.
- 40:46The programmatic environmental assessment team and they check
- 40:50those off again, if they get those things done then they can
- 40:54launch. But they Also have to get the
- 40:56launch license. So FAA, safety risk and
- 40:59financial responsibility requirements. / 14, CFR chapter
- 41:053. I don't even know what that is.
- 41:07Let's take a look at this. Let me, let me give a little
- 41:10search search ski over here. Oh this is a long document.
- 41:16You just you just saw my oh my yeah there's a lot.
- 41:23There's a lot to it. I can tell.
- 41:25Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
- 41:26It's gonna be a lot. Oh yeah.
- 41:29So check this out. This is not going to be.
- 41:31This is like a this is like if I have to go to court I'll read
- 41:35this. Like one of those things so you
- 41:41know, just to make sure definitions the There's all sort
- 41:44like tons and tons of pages page, 77 safe, efficient, use
- 41:47and preservation of navigable airspace Destiny is a class ABCD
- 41:52and E airspace areas. Yeah, there's there's all sorts
- 41:57of stuff in here. War Risk insurance.
- 42:00What is that? That's crazy.
- 42:02I didn't know that that's the thing, because that makes sense.
- 42:07But yeah, there's there's all sorts of other things.
- 42:10They have to do requirements that they have to do, and it
- 42:13could take could take months more months than where they're
- 42:18at now. So, It's possibility Space X
- 42:22doesn't launch till later this year.
- 42:24Till December, maybe. I mean I'm a huge, huge fan of
- 42:29Starship. I mean, I moved my whole life
- 42:31down there just to see Starship, a bunch.
- 42:34So like as much of a fan as anybody else's, I'm just as much
- 42:37of a fan. So I know that these things take
- 42:41a lot of time. Yeah, I don't know.
- 42:46I Jeff what? Oh yeah, I was gonna ask you
- 42:47about that. Jeff.
- 42:48I didn't get to go to Starbase wasn't feeling well.
- 42:51Oh that sucks. I'm sorry, man.
- 42:54That sucks. Hopefully you'll get down there
- 42:56again because I hope you hope you get to see that beautiful
- 43:00beautiful area and get to see some of the cool people that are
- 43:03down there. That place is kind of magical
- 43:05and I miss it, I really do. Like I'm back up here in the
- 43:09Northeast and I love this place so much.
- 43:13I also really do Miss Even though like I kind of like I was
- 43:18like, okay that's a chapter in my life that I have to close.
- 43:21I'm like, but I really do freaking miss it, man.
- 43:24And it's like, I'll be like, heart on my sleeve.
- 43:27It was one of the most, like one of the coolest experiences I
- 43:32ever got to do and I couldn't have done it without everybody
- 43:34else. So Jeff, if you get a chance, I
- 43:37really hope you get down there and like just Just enjoy it.
- 43:42Like that's going to be so fun. I'm sorry that you felt.
- 43:45You weren't feeling too. Well though man, that sucks.
- 43:47Hopefully you're feeling better now, but you know, you'll get
- 43:50back down there. There's plenty of time.
- 43:52You'll get, you'll do it. You got this Adam says, plastic
- 43:57mugs has 54 star linkspurr Starship.
- 43:59Launch is not a lot. We'll need a lot of launches.
- 44:02Yeah, it doesn't seem like a lot.
- 44:03Does it? 54 seems like, You know, I don't
- 44:09know it's a lot but it also seems like Starship should be
- 44:13able to handle a bunch more. It seems like that but
- 44:16apparently not you know it's like 50 55 56 what somewhere in
- 44:19that area all together, they can probably squeeze some more in
- 44:23there eventually, but I think the first one is going to be
- 44:26like you know, mid 50s to 60s. Hopefully before I have to go
- 44:30back to get radiation. Yeah, man.
- 44:32That's it's a, it's a tough one. In the thing is about Starbase
- 44:37is that it's like, it's really rugged, Man.
- 44:39Like you got to be really sort of like mentally, mentally,
- 44:43ready for it and I, when I went down there, I wasn't mentally
- 44:47ready for it. I was mentally ready to like, go
- 44:51on this crazy adventure, This Life Adventure, but also, like,
- 44:56you have to be mentally prepared to go.
- 44:58Go to actual Starbase, you know what I'm saying?
- 45:00Like you're going to be alone on this road for like 30 minutes.
- 45:03Nothing around you. And you know, just be like it's
- 45:07such a beautiful drive though. It's so cool.
- 45:10And you get 2. You get to just like enjoy the
- 45:14enjoy the area and enjoy this like it's very just sparse,
- 45:21there's nothing there and it's really Brown.
- 45:24Like so these are the things that I took away from living in
- 45:26Brownsville nearest Starbase just because this is because you
- 45:31brought it up, Jeff. So, these are some of the things
- 45:34that I took away from living in Brownsville and the Starbase
- 45:38area, I'd love to my apartment. It was really cool.
- 45:41Nice, big place. Um, you know, and I had enough
- 45:45room for another Studio there. I didn't have like a living
- 45:49room, but I converted the living room area into a studio, which
- 45:51is really cool. And I did a lot of shows from a
- 45:54lot of live shows, a lot of kind of, like editing shows and
- 45:57things like that, Starship stuff.
- 46:00So, my typical day down, there was Wake up in the morning, go
- 46:07grab some breakfast. Go to Starbase film for an hour
- 46:12or two. So by that time it's like that's
- 46:14the say a leaven leavens o'clock, I'm done come back,
- 46:18home start, loading my footage onto my hard drive because my
- 46:23computer at that time was junk. And I had to just, I had to
- 46:28transfer everything from my from this little drive, right here,
- 46:31this little SSD, which goes into my Camera at the transfer that
- 46:38into my into my computer and by then it's about an hour later
- 46:42because there's so much footage and so then I would start
- 46:47editing it about noon and then by about 3:00 at be done with
- 46:50like a rough cut. And then by 4:00 at be done with
- 46:54like a final cut and then about 5:00 either publish it or wait
- 46:59till the next morning to publish it, depending on what the
- 47:01schedule was then between five and, you know, 10:00 at night.
- 47:05I'm like, doing all the other stuff.
- 47:08So I didn't really have a time to get a life when I was down
- 47:10there, which was really unfortunate.
- 47:12But I guess I did get to see some cool stuff in the area is
- 47:14really, it's really Stark. It's a, it's beautiful but it's
- 47:20like Stark, rugged, beautiful. It's very flat like super, super
- 47:26flat, I think I got it. My.
- 47:32Builder guys, coming over to take a look at the bathroom.
- 47:34So might have to see if that's him.
- 47:37Might be my brother to stop by but the, my dogs barking
- 47:43downstairs. That's why.
- 47:45But just just be mentally prepared, as all.
- 47:48I'm saying before you go down there because there's like,
- 47:50that's not a lot. It's really hot too, by the way.
- 47:55So James says, V 2 Star links are much bigger than current
- 47:59versions. Yeah, and that's that's like,
- 48:01it's They're better, but they're bigger, but they're better.
- 48:04So it's going to be a really interesting Dynamic when they
- 48:09start shoving them into a Starship, it's going to be so
- 48:11cool when we actually get to see that.
- 48:14And since they're doing all the, all the testing, now they have
- 48:17to send that back to the to the Bay.
- 48:21And then put the Sterling satellites in there and then
- 48:24bring it back out to the pad, you know.
- 48:27But they also have to do a stack test.
- 48:29So they have the stack Starship on top of the booster as well.
- 48:33So you know, when they get to the point where, you know, we
- 48:38can think even think about getting close to a launch it's
- 48:42going to look like this. Again there's some point then
- 48:44they're going to have to do cryo tests on the booster and on the
- 48:47ship together. Pressure test possibly on both.
- 48:51With maybe a static fire on the booster at this time when they
- 48:55do the fit test, possibly not they might possibly take them
- 48:58apart again and then do another static fire on the booster.
- 49:01Maybe another static fire on the ship just to make every make
- 49:03sure everything works after they've been stacked.
- 49:06Because who knows what gets jostle around when they stack
- 49:10them? I mean they're not going to
- 49:12stack this thing and not tested because I mean if they have the
- 49:16chance to static fire, booster, they will I think they will But
- 49:22it's going to be it's going to be a pretty long journey, I
- 49:25think for Starship to launch and it might not even be a by the
- 49:29end of this year. You know, like I was saying
- 49:31before the environmental assessment doesn't mean they're
- 49:33going to launch right away and and unfortunately I wish it were
- 49:36the case. I wish the environmental
- 49:38assessment says go but they don't they say, okay, the
- 49:42environment looks cool and you're ready to go as far as the
- 49:47environment stuff goes but you might have to make these
- 49:49concessions so it's possible. SpaceX doesn't get to launch
- 49:52until maybe later this year. I mean, it might be a might be a
- 49:56thing. So I think I might going to make
- 49:58a whole video about that because I mean at the end of a podcast,
- 50:02some people probably won't even get to see this part.
- 50:04So I'm probably going to make a regular video about that, so
- 50:07everyone can kind of chimed in and stuff.
- 50:09I think that might be kind of cool.
- 50:12And I'm says, bring all you need for sure.
- 50:14Not just how it is very humid. Plus no Shades sunscreen on
- 50:17must. Yeah, exactly.
- 50:18Bring a big hat. That's one of the things that I
- 50:20tell. Everybody before I go before I
- 50:23they go down there. They asked me for information or
- 50:25like, you know, I've got a lot of dams on Twitter like, hey I'm
- 50:28going to be at Starbase what should I do and then I say bring
- 50:31a big hat like these are the Necessities.
- 50:33Maybe I'll make a video about that.
- 50:34There might be a good idea. Here's the, here's some things
- 50:37you need to bring you need to bring a water bottle like this
- 50:40big of Water. By the way, Wegmans love
- 50:44Wegmans, love them back here to have Wegmans again but a big old
- 50:48water bottle like bring water with you.
- 50:52But yeah, there's there's so many things that you don't
- 50:55really understand before you get down there, you know, and I
- 51:00don't want people getting hurt either, you know, like by the,
- 51:03by the end of the time, you're down there, like you're drained,
- 51:07but the beach is beautiful. So if you're getting hot just
- 51:09jump in the jump in the Gulf, you know.
- 51:11Like if you think you feel like you're overheating just jump in
- 51:13the Gulf for real. It's nice and cool.
- 51:15It's super chill. You know does drive down to the
- 51:19end of the street jump in the gulf and be like.
- 51:21This is nice and then get in your car and leave, you know,
- 51:24getting your getting your air-conditioned car and take
- 51:25off. It was very cool.
- 51:29Are, you know how you doing, man?
- 51:30How you doing? Bring?
- 51:32Big fishing hat, for sure? Yeah.
- 51:33I got a big, it's in my car. I still have it in my in my car.
- 51:38But yeah. Maybe I'm maybe I'll do a thing
- 51:40about that, too. Like what should you bring to
- 51:42Starbase and nowhere to park? Yeah.
- 51:44Adam. That's another thing.
- 51:46People ask me all the time on Twitter, like, DME and I say,
- 51:49I'm going to start race. Where should I park?
- 51:50And I say, Say okay, how do I explain this?
- 51:53So I might just make a video that explains everything.
- 51:59And, you know, so so I can just be like, watch the video.
- 52:07Gallon of water. Cost.
- 52:08Less than a dollar at the grocery store.
- 52:09Yeah, exactly. Bring a bag of ice to, you know,
- 52:11if you can get a cooler, bring a bag of ice and some, you know,
- 52:16bring some snacks and stuff. It's always good.
- 52:19Always brought like things like this.
- 52:22I have this for Mike earlier. I brought this up for a hike,
- 52:25like, when these little granola bars, Nature's Bakery, fig bars.
- 52:29Yeah. It's just like a little bit of
- 52:30sugar, you know, this little snack because if you're out
- 52:33there for two or three hours, the Sun beats you up, like you
- 52:36are Done, you're done. So yeah, bring water, bring
- 52:43snacks. Bring a lot of sunscreen.
- 52:46So maybe that's a good idea. Maybe I'll make a video about
- 52:48that and where to park to what's up Andy?
- 52:50How you doing Rena says I'm safe.
- 52:53Thank you. Very cool, very good Thomas says
- 52:57Mr. Ilan has the best. Yeah he's smart.
- 52:59He's a smart smart. Dude, what's in for Artemis is
- 53:02going to the Moon. It seems lunar.
- 53:04Starship has been chosen first to return to the Moon. well,
- 53:09Artemis is going to go around the Moon first and then I think,
- 53:13I don't know and you know how to say this in the past, but he's
- 53:19Basics going to try to beat NASA to the Moon.
- 53:23He said, well, if we can, we will, you know, so there's a
- 53:27possibility that they do that. I think that would be absolutely
- 53:31incredible if they just go like, you know what, NASA.
- 53:34We're not going to wait for you, we're going to do our own thing
- 53:36and then we'll see in. They do have to they have to
- 53:39actually land a Starship on the moon before they do the Artemis
- 53:42program with a Starship because they have to test it because I
- 53:47can't really put a bunch of people.
- 53:50Even a few people in a crude Starship before the land, an
- 53:55uncrewed Starship on the moon. So they're going to have to test
- 53:57it before, they actually have people in that thing.
- 54:02So, so, we'll see, you know, we'll see what happens with that
- 54:08in the future. And there's so many other things
- 54:10that they need to do in order to get to that point.
- 54:13And like where we're at now, with a Starship.
- 54:15This is just the beginning. So the mid-2020s, you know,
- 54:20we're committed. Yeah.
- 54:21Mid-2020s, we're hoping to get some Starships on the moon and
- 54:25get some people on the moon, hopefully soon to, they'll be
- 54:27freaking sweet. Roland says, I have no doubt,
- 54:30Space X can be too. Do that first.
- 54:32I yeah, I agree with you 100% like SpaceX good bit off topic.
- 54:38But did you see the WWDC this year?
- 54:40I did. And I think it's pretty cool.
- 54:43Everything that happened there looks pretty cool.
- 54:45Tech is good. I enjoy Tech stuff.
- 54:49So If you're here to Tech stuff, that was pretty fun.
- 54:56We got to check this again. It looks like my stream has has
- 55:00paused. Maybe not now, there we go.
- 55:05But I just look like I had a little hiccup there.
- 55:07So thanks for sticking with me but, yeah, I think I think
- 55:10there's this, this is the summer of spaceflight.
- 55:13Possibly, this could be a huge, huge summer spaceflight.
- 55:17So yeah, it's gonna be pretty sweet, man.
- 55:20I'm pretty stoked. We have Artemis one, we have
- 55:26Starship. We have Falcon heavy.
- 55:29We have a bunch of Falcon launches you.
- 55:32Well, a lot has all sorts of launches going on, so just this
- 55:36might be the the summer of super heavy.
- 55:38Maybe let's hashtag summer of super heavy.
- 55:41Let's do it. I just made a thing.
- 55:44Super heavy summer. I'll tweet it first so I can get
- 55:48the so I can get the thing. Super heavy summer, it's super
- 55:53heavy summer. Artemis.
- 56:00NASA Artemis at SpaceX. There we go.
- 56:06There, I tweeted it. That's mine.
- 56:09I did it. Hashtag super happy summer.
- 56:12So thanks everybody for watching.
- 56:15I got to take off. I appreciate everybody here.
- 56:18Thank you so much Jeff. Thank you so much for the
- 56:20Superchip. That just came out of nowhere.
- 56:23Get good and nice. Very nice.
- 56:26Thank you so much. You're gonna get some Starships
- 56:27for that. So thank you.
- 56:30Let's see here. We got to get you.
- 56:31Some Starships, there we go. There we go.
- 56:35We'll turn those on back. Wow, there you go.
- 56:38Thank you. That was that's awesome.
- 56:39What a way to end the show. So if you are a fan of
- 56:42spaceflight, if you're, if you're a fan of space news pot,
- 56:46if your friend of me, anything, if you want to become a member
- 56:48of the show, that helps us out tremendously because it's every
- 56:50month, it helps us continue doing the show and also helps
- 56:55fund me going to rocket launches and filming in the future.
- 56:59I filmed Starship for nine months.
- 57:03Nine ten, Month, something like that.
- 57:05And I'm ready for more launches. So, when Artemis does a launch,
- 57:09I'll be at Nasa. I'll be nearby for this Moon
- 57:14rocket launch. So if you want to become a
- 57:16member of the show, greatly appreciate just hit the the
- 57:19money button, whatever, show your support for space news, pot
- 57:22at the bottom of the chat and you can become a member.
- 57:24You can also there's a button for a member.
- 57:26Apparently, I don't know how what that looks like on in
- 57:30Mobile, but it seems to me, like, that's the way to go.
- 57:34That's the best way to do this. As far as YouTube goes.
- 57:37Because sometimes, you know, you can't really don't get any AD
- 57:42Revenue, basically for something that gets like 5,000 views.
- 57:46So, all the money that goes into this channel, basically goes
- 57:49towards all the rocket launches in a future and all the filming
- 57:54in the future and things like that.
- 57:55Luckily I have a decent job now where I can pay the bills for
- 58:00myself and like I put a little bit of money away for the
- 58:03channel. But I do, I do rely on other
- 58:06people to help out it's like NPR, basically, they have
- 58:08advertising money, but they also rely on other people in the
- 58:12support of viewers like you. So, thank you for everybody who
- 58:16is a member of the show. We have some members.
- 58:18Here we go. Jeff.
- 58:19Thank you so much again for the Super Chat.
- 58:21We also have n c-- Davis with the Super Chat.
- 58:24I like to get good though. I like that one.
- 58:25That's pretty awesome. That's funny.
- 58:29Super heavy summer is the exact opposite of beach.
- 58:31Bod summer. Oh yeah, that's true.
- 58:34Yeah. Who are hot now.
- 58:37So summer was last year. I think it was that the year
- 58:39before camera which one of us or maybe it's every summer, I don't
- 58:42know. But it's funny.
- 58:44Regardless quick question, if you look around the SN 24
- 58:48panels, you can see there are five sections where panels are
- 58:51missing. I do see welding lines on the
- 58:53section where the panels are missing but I wonder who, okay.
- 58:59I have not checked into that. I've seen a couple streamers and
- 59:06I haven't really noticed to be honest with you, SN 24 panels.
- 59:11Hmm. I'll look into that.
- 59:14I'll look into that. Lets that's interesting.
- 59:16I want to see what that is. Thanks for the heads-up.
- 59:18Rollin appreciate that, but I must be off my friends.
- 59:21This is how you do it. This is how you do.
- 59:25You think the people that are helping you David Little John
- 59:29William County? No Gary Cunningham, Deborah Hall
- 59:31and see Davis. Jeff Francis everybody who's
- 59:34liked the video to the can get to more likes plz, by the way.
- 59:37So we can make it an even number 0, where a 69 likes, I was
- 59:41guessing an even number of 70 or 69 Gunther Stephane Meg are Sam
- 59:46Christ, Jack Savage multiflex Life, Neil Thorn, Dave stencil
- 59:54David ferrucci David Little John.
- 59:56William County. No again.
- 1:00:00Stream ending, gotta hit that button.
- 1:00:04All right. Thanks guys I really do
- 1:00:05appreciate it. More live streams coming up in
- 1:00:08the future so make sure to subscribe.
