- 0:00So what I was, what I'm gonna go through to tonight is the overall,
- 0:06overall sort of path to making life multiplanetary. So we're doing a lot
- 0:13of good things at SpaceX. I mean, Starlink is incredible providing connectivity throughout
- 0:19the world and also you know, paying for a lot of what we're doing
- 0:23here. And Falcon nine is the primary left launch vehicle for Earth, just
- 0:31doing more non SpaceX launches than anything else. And but Starship is what is
- 0:39well Starship. Starship is the first design of a rocket that is actually capable
- 0:45of making life multiplanetary, where success is one of the possible outcomes. Uh,
- 0:51no rocket before this has had the potential to extend life to another planet.
- 0:59And and I'll sort of wax esoteric here for a minute because this may
- 1:07sound sort of unusual, but when you think about the question of where are
- 1:15the aliens, which I get asked a lot, this is like the Fermi
- 1:23paradox, where are the aliens? And I've not seen any evidence that there
- 1:29are aliens on Earth. A lot of people think there are aliens on Earth,
- 1:32and I'm like, great, I'd like to meet one, you know.
- 1:37For a while there, when I was getting my green card and never
- 1:38gets an alien registration card. I'm like, okay, but this question of
- 1:47where the aliens, I think a very profound one because I'm aware of no
- 1:53evidence of aliens whatsoever, which means that I think we're probably alone. And
- 2:04if you look at the history of Earth, like how long has Earth been
- 2:07around? Assuming that physics is correct, the universe is about thirteen point eight
- 2:13billion years old. Earth is about four and a half billion years old.
- 2:19When you think about how old is civilization, I think the right measuring point
- 2:24for civilization in my view, or a good measuring point, would be the
- 2:29advent of writing. So the first writing is generally considered to be the ancient
- 2:36Sumerians. Where are they now? They died out, but about fifty five
- 2:42hundred years ago was archaic pre cuneiform. In fact, I suggest it's like
- 2:47an interesting rabbit hole to read about the history of writing. So if you
- 2:53consider, say, like, okay, civilization, I think if you don't
- 2:57have writing, you kind of need writing for civilization. So it's only been
- 3:02around for like a little of a five thousand years out of four and a
- 3:06half billion years that Earth has been around. And the thirteen point eight billion
- 3:08years of the universe, so we're all of human civilization is basically the blink
- 3:13of an eye. It's like it's a fraction, it's almost it's nothing.
- 3:21And I think that that probably means that that consciousness is incredibly rare and perhaps
- 3:30fleeting. It may not last for very long, because otherwise we would I
- 3:37think we would have seen aliens, some kind of sign of aliens. I
- 3:40think the most likely explanation is that consciousness is so rare that and does that
- 3:53consciousness actually extend to another planet? Does that consciousness extend to another star system?
- 4:02I mean, ultimately, if we're able to become a space bearing civilization,
- 4:06a multiplanet species, and ultimately a multi stellars species, and go out
- 4:11there and explore all these star systems, I think we may find that there
- 4:15are many long dead one planet civilizations. And as you've heard me say before,
- 4:24we don't want to be one of those lame one planet civilizations. I
- 4:27mean, we want to be a multiplanet civilization, ultimately, be a multi
- 4:31stellar civilization, be out there among the stars, like you know, make
- 4:36science fiction not fiction forever, kind of make star star trek real. That's
- 4:45uh. So, that's why I think that there's actually there's this high urgency
- 4:50to making life multiplanetary because this is the first time in four and a half
- 5:00billion year history that it's been possible to extend life or consciousness beyond Earth,
- 5:06and we've got to do that while civilization is still strong. So that's the
- 5:14overarching goal of the company is extend life sustainably to another planet. Mars is
- 5:20the only option, really, and to do so ideally before World War three
- 5:27or some kind of bad thing. The key thing is that we need enough
- 5:31people and enough tonnage on Mars such that Mars can survive and continue consciousness even
- 5:42if something would happen to Earth. Now I still think obviously we wouldn't.
- 5:46I'm not talking about abandoning Earth or anything like that, and we want Earth
- 5:49to be as good as possible for as long as possible, but there are
- 5:51certain things that may be outside of our control. So we want to just
- 5:59get Mars to be a self sustaining civilization as quickly as possible, and I
- 6:04think this can be done in around twenty years. So and this this giant
- 6:13starship factory that we're building is obviously key to that, and the launch sites
- 6:16that we're building here and at the cape and elsewhere in the future will be
- 6:20key to that. Oh, it's wild that that this uh, this strange
- 6:27spot. This we're basically on a sand spit by the Rio Grande near the
- 6:30beach, and that is actually the gateway to Mars. Has to be like
- 6:39if this was a movie, you'd be like, no way, come on,
- 6:44too implosible. But it's it's real and it's due to you guys.
- 6:47Congratulations. This is the side by side of the three flights. You can
- 7:00see our thrust a weight improved significantly. So we've made tremendous progress from flight
- 7:12one to flight two to flight three, and we got flight four coming up
- 7:17in about a month or so. And with flight four we should if we
- 7:25get you know, if fate smiles upon us, we will get through the
- 7:28high heating regime and smash into the ocean at a controlled spot and the hopefully
- 7:38be able to also do this with with the booster uh land on essentially a
- 7:44virtual tower. If the landing on the virtual tower with the booster works,
- 7:50then we will actually try with flight five to come back and land on the
- 7:55tower. No, that's very much a success oriented schedule, but it is
- 8:07in the realm of possibility. But I would say, like the odds of
- 8:11us actually being able to catch the booster with the me Gozilla arms this year,
- 8:16I think, I don't know, I don't want to tempt a fate
- 8:18knock on wood, but I think the odds of actually catching the booster with
- 8:24the tower probably like eighty ninety percent this year, which is insane. Like
- 8:31actually, when we first talked about it, it sounded so bat shit crazy.
- 8:37We're going to have a giant it's like literally bigger than me Gozilla from
- 8:41the movie that you would catch like the like the biggest flying object ever made
- 8:48with mechanical arms out of the air. But we're going to do it,
- 8:54so let's get Yeah, it may not work, you know, necessarily the
- 8:58foot time, but you know it will work. So really, Starship is
- 9:05really the key to making life multiplanetary and preserving the light of light of consciousness.
- 9:11That's what it's all about, and it may end up being the most
- 9:16important thing that that we have a do. I think that like the light
- 9:24of consciousness is like this this tiny candle in a in a vast darkness,
- 9:31and that candle has only been lit for a very short time, and it
- 9:35could easily go out, So we obviously want to preserve that that the tiny
- 9:39light of consciousness on Earth but extended to Mars and then ultimately to the rest
- 9:45of the Solar System and then start going to other star systems. And I
- 9:52mean, I won't be allowed to see that, but unless I'm like frozen
- 9:56or something other. But but you know, I think at some point we'll
- 10:01discover many civilizations that maybe lasted a million years or two million years or ten
- 10:07million years, but a civilization that lasted a million years, which would be
- 10:13you know, vastly longer than our civilization has lasted. I mean, that's
- 10:20only the third decimal point, so like thirteen point eight billion something something years.
- 10:26If you're if your civilization lasts a million years, it's only goes that
- 10:31third digit past the decimal point goes up one and that's a million years.
- 10:37So I mean, i'd say, like we should think of, like how
- 10:41do we make civilization last a million years? You know, we often get
- 10:46caught up in like the day to day things, but we want them to
- 10:50have at least a million year civilization, if not one hundred million year civilization
- 10:54or a billion year civilization. So absolutely crucial to that goal is becoming a
- 11:01multiplanet species. People and people often people often ask why why Mars. Well,
- 11:09there's not a lot of options. Frankly, so uh, Venus is
- 11:15a superheated, high pressure acid bath, so not not what you don't don't
- 11:24want to go to Venus. And then the Moon is close, but it
- 11:31doesn't have an atmosphere, the gravity is only one sixth out of Earth,
- 11:33and it's missing a lot of key resources. So also the the the the
- 11:41insulating value of the Moon relative relative to Mars is much less. So if
- 11:46there's something that takes out of like let's say there's a World War three global
- 11:50therm and nuclear warfare, they're probably throw a few nukes at the Moon,
- 11:54so whereas it's way harder to shoot Mars with with nuclear and Mars would see
- 12:01it coming and probably have some time to stop the inbound missiles. So that
- 12:05the value of Mars, the difficulty or the distance and time required to get
- 12:11to Mars, actually has an insulating benefit to the for the continuation of consciousness,
- 12:18even if there's something terrible happens on Earth. And and then once we
- 12:26go beyond Mars, there's there's some asteroids like Cerus, some of the moons
- 12:31of Jupiter. Starship would ultimately be capable of uh of reaching anywhere in the
- 12:37Solar System, and then we'll need something so a new level of technology to
- 12:45go to other star systems. But if we can at least get to Mars,
- 12:48then other star systems are hopeless. I mean, it's a fixer upper
- 12:52of a planet. Okay, need some work, but it is. It's
- 12:58really the only option for becoming multiplanetary and long term, we can warm up
- 13:03Mars and we can there would be we can densify the atmosphere and there'd be
- 13:09a liquid ocean on about forty percent of the surface, so we could make
- 13:13it an earthlike planet long term. So let's see, we've learned a tremendous
- 13:30amount from when we started the company and at first could we're unable to get
- 13:35even a small rocket or of it to now where we've done three hundred and
- 13:39twenty seven successful launchers, almost three hundred landings. In fact, you know,
- 13:46give it a few weeks and we'll have done three hundred landings two hundred
- 13:50and sixty one reflights. So I many times I was told that reusability was
- 14:01it was impossible, and even if you did it, there would there will
- 14:05be no point because nobody would want to fly rockets that much. But now
- 14:09we routinely fly and land the booster and we recover the fairing. So we've
- 14:18learned a tremendous amount from the Falcon program that is then feeding into the Starship
- 14:22program, and Falcon and Starlink all what obviously keep the company going. So
- 14:31I just like to give a hand to the Falcon team for the incredible work
- 14:35that they're doing. And then Dragon, well forty five launches a Dragon.
- 14:54It's amazing, and we've flown fifty crew members to orbit forty six to the
- 15:01space station and everyone has come home safely, which is the most important thing.
- 15:11So you know, incredible work by the Dragon team. So Skim the
- 15:15hand that was couldn't ask for a better outcome. And Starlink actually, if
- 15:28you look at the sort of the plot of the all the satellites going around
- 15:33Earth, this look kind of scary actually, but there's six thousand satellites in
- 15:39operation, over six thousand and ten thousand lasers, almost three million customers.
- 15:48So Starlink is doing a lot of good people for people on Earth who don't
- 15:54either don't have Internet access or it's very expensive, and so it's doing doing
- 16:00a lot of good, you know, on Earth, because when I say
- 16:03we want to be a multiplanet species, i'm you know, we obviously want
- 16:07to Earth to be as good as possible and Mars to be great. So
- 16:14Stallink is doing a tremendous amount of that, and we're learning a lot by
- 16:18having this big fleet. Stalling will also be very important for high bound width
- 16:23communication to and on Mars. So from it from a tiny rocket to Falcon
- 16:37nine, which is a much bigger rocket, many iterations of Falcon nine and
- 16:41then Falcon Heavy and then Starship as Starship will get bigger obviously, you know
- 16:53this this year, if things go according to plan, SpaceX will do probably
- 17:00ninety percent of all Earth Master orbit, and then China will do about six
- 17:06percent, and the rest of the world will do about four percent, which
- 17:10is pretty wild. And then once Starship is flying, we'll be doing over
- 17:15nineteen nine percent of all Earth master orbit. What you kind of have to
- 17:21do in order to build a city on Mars, and I should say we'll
- 17:25also build a lunar base as well, so it might as well along the
- 17:29way so you can see the actually Falcon one was really yeah, half a
- 17:37ton to orbit ling grief slight error on the slide there, so Falcon was
- 17:44about half a ton to orbit. Falcon nine, depending on inexpendable mode I
- 17:49would do probably twenty five tons to orbit, and yeah, Falcon Heavy probably
- 17:56seventy. Anyway, these these are just obviously rapidly increasing numbers, and Starship
- 18:03in its final configuration or its final form, we'll probably do well over two
- 18:10hundred tons to orbit with full reusability and be able to fly multiple times a
- 18:17day. So and then there's recovering and reusing the ship. The ship will
- 18:26take longer, so the ship. I think we will want to have at
- 18:33least two consecutive successes of a given design that's land at a specific point in
- 18:42the ocean or smash into a specific point of the ocean before we try to
- 18:47bring it back to the launch site, because we do we do not want
- 18:49to rain debris over Mexico or the US. So my guess is probably next
- 18:56year is when we will be able to reuse Starship, but I think it's
- 19:00I think it's highly likely that this year we will bring Starship to or the
- 19:03ship the ship side of it to a controlled point in the ocean and have
- 19:10it basically land on a virtual virtual tower in somewhere in the in the Pacific
- 19:15or the Indian Ocean. And we've already proven that we can do the final
- 19:22phase of landing, so coming from sort of a belly first position to rotating
- 19:29the ship and landing vertically, we proved that right here. So what we
- 19:34just really we just need to be confident that we can get through the high
- 19:37heating portion of the app of re entry reliably, and then we will bring
- 19:44the ship back and we'll land on the tower as well. And we're going
- 19:47to build more mechazillas, so there's going to be two launch towers here and
- 19:52I think and then two launch towers at the Cape as well, so well
- 20:00have four launch towers for uh for Starship, probably you know, by sometime
- 20:07next year. So we're aiming to have the first Cape launch tower and launch
- 20:15system operational around the middle of next year, and that'll be important for launch
- 20:22azimuths that are sort of fly overland. So I think what we should probably
- 20:34expect is that we do the kind of the development launches here, test anything
- 20:41new here, build the build the rockets, and then probably most of the
- 20:45operational launches would be from the Cape. So this year we're planning to build
- 20:53another roughly six UH boosters and shifts, and that production rate will increase a
- 21:06lot next year. That's why we're building the Giant factory. Ultimately we'll need
- 21:15to build a lot more shifts than boosters, especially for Mars, because it's
- 21:19the you'll actually want to use the ship, take apart the ship and use
- 21:23it for raw materials on Mars because the ship materials will be so valuable.
- 21:29Most of the shifts you wouldn't want to bring back. You do want to
- 21:30just use them for raw materials. Eventually, we will want to bring shifts
- 21:36back, and I think we want to give people the option of coming back
- 21:38because they're more likely to want to go if there's some option of coming back.
- 21:45But I think most of most of the people that go to Mars will
- 21:48probably never come back to Earth. So and we'll need to ramp production to
- 21:56pretty high numbers, like I think ultimately probably a ship every like multiple ships
- 22:03per day basically, and then next year we're aiming to demonstrate ship to ship
- 22:10propellant transfer. It's hard to make this not look a little bit norty uh
- 22:19because it's two ships connecting and doing a fluid transfer. Just what it is,
- 22:29but it is this is actually a very important uh. This is a
- 22:33very important step on going to Mars because you need to put to get the
- 22:37ship to orbit and then do orbital refilling kind of like aerial refueling, and
- 22:44and that's that's really you need about about five or six uh refilling missions for
- 22:52every one mission that goes to Mars, so roughly five to one. So
- 22:59and this will also be very important for the Otomis program for the Nest to
- 23:03get back to the Moon. So we want to have a ship that is
- 23:07well, it's going to be a specialized ship for the Moon like this.
- 23:14So the Moon obviously there's no mechazola, so we need landing legs and you
- 23:18don't need a heat shield, and you don't need flaps because there's no atmosphere.
- 23:22So the moonship would be specialized. And ultimately I think we want to
- 23:30build a moon base moon based ALFA and have a permanently occupied base on the
- 23:38Moon like that would be super exciting. And so you'd have a bunch of
- 23:45ships that are specialized for going to and from the Moon. But they never
- 23:49come back to They never land back on Earth. They just would would dock
- 23:56with propellant propellant tankers to get orbital refell So in terms of performance, we've
- 24:03made traumatic progress on every level for Starship. It's remarkable that we can see
- 24:12the raptor engines and how it has evolved from, you know, optimistically one
- 24:22hundred and eighty five tons to two hundred and eighty and I think ultimately we'll
- 24:26probably the booster engines will aim to get the booster rangines over three hundred and
- 24:30thirty tons of thrust, which would mean ten thousand tons of total thrust at
- 24:36leftoff. So and then the Raptor of three also will not need a heat
- 24:44shield. So Rafter three looks looks very simple, and it is actually simplified
- 24:48in a lot of ways, but a lot of the complexity is hidden because
- 24:53we have integral cooling channels in many plots of the engine that don't exist in
- 24:59Raptor two. So in order to not have a heat shield, it has
- 25:03to be very resilient. But that is actually what rafter three would look like.
- 25:07It looks like Rafter three looks like it's missing a bunch of parts but
- 25:11actually those parts have either been deleted or they've been integrated into the system.
- 25:17And like I said, with integral cooling channels and where you need secondary plumbing,
- 25:22the secondary plumbing has also been integrated into the pump and into the the
- 25:27chamber jacket. And yeah, so it's much simpler. Well, it's it's
- 25:34it's yeah, it's actually extremely difficult to build rafter three, but that it
- 25:42will be easy to integrate and will have higher performance and lower total mass and
- 25:49be more reliable. So h well, then can go for a while.
- 26:22So I find it interesting to look at the if you look at the the
- 26:26flame tail on Starship and how long it is, it's a it's a very
- 26:30long flame tail, which is due to the fact that the chamber pressure,
- 26:37well, it's it's just outputting a lot more yeah, a lot more gas
- 26:41at a higher velocity. But I think the flame tail is like maybe a
- 26:45thousand feet long. It's like more than twice the length of the rocket.
- 26:51And that will actually get as as we increase the thrust, that will get
- 26:52longer. So yeah, and inevtably, the rocket grows in height. So
- 27:02Starship two raiming for like I currently Flight three would be around forty or fifty
- 27:08tons to orbit. So the current design, Starship two will be over one
- 27:14hundred tons, and then Starship three will be over two hundred tons. And
- 27:21yeah, it's gone from around seven thousand tons thrust to over eight thousand.
- 27:27Nine. I think we'll end up ultimately with more than three more than ten
- 27:32thousand tons of thrust, probably seven or eight thousand tons of leftoff mass,
- 27:40and at least ten meters taller. We'll see tends to grow, yeah,
- 27:52exactly, so it probably grows a bit more than that even Really, so
- 28:02if you look at Falcon nine, it's it's very We're not going to do
- 28:04the length to diameter of falconine. That would be crazy, but uh,
- 28:08Falcon nine is a very long rocket, and so I suspect it will probably
- 28:17get a bit longer than this. But at two hundred tons per flight fully
- 28:21reusable, that is that is pretty incredible. And yeah, it will be
- 28:30on the order of five hundred feet toll and then we're at this this hundred
- 28:40there's thousands of design improvements here, so I mean, I think maybe the
- 28:48most one of the most profound things is Starship three will cost less per flight
- 28:55than Falcon one. So that's the difference between if you've got a fully reusable
- 29:00rocket or an expandable rocket. The fully reusable rocket with low cost propellant and
- 29:07or touching this pressurization actually costs less than a tiny expandable rocket. So and
- 29:15it'll do. Like I said, Falcon one is about half a ton to
- 29:18orbit. The Starship three will be four hundred times more payload for less than
- 29:23the cost of a Falcon one. Ultimately, I think we might be able
- 29:29to get the cost per flight to Earth orbit down around two million dollars or
- 29:33three million dollars. So these are sort of unthinkable numbers from the you know,
- 29:42nobody ever thought that this was possible. But we're not breaking any physics
- 29:47to achieve this, so this is within the bound without breaking physics, we
- 29:52can do this. So the Mars missions are two years apart or twenty six
- 29:59more. And if you look closely at the Starlink router, you see the
- 30:08home and transfer from Earth over to Mars overit and that's basically to stay to
- 30:18people, the Starlink system that you're buying is helping get humanity to Mars.
- 30:26I think it's pretty cool. So roughly every two years thousands of ships would
- 30:30depart from Earth to Mars. It would look like Battlestar Galactica, but in
- 30:34a good way, you know, hopefully without being chased by the cylons.
- 30:41But it would be an incredible thing to see these thousands of ships departing every
- 30:45twenty six months from Mars. What this diagram is basically saying is that for
- 30:52getting to Mars, we would essentially create a kind of a propellant depot ship.
- 31:02The propellant depot would look more like a hot dog than like a spear.
- 31:07Surely, just mix a long ship with a lot of insulation and we'd
- 31:14fill that chip up. And then shortly before or as they're going to Mars,
- 31:22the ships would take off with a couple hundred tons of payload from Earth,
- 31:26reach or of it with very almost no propellant, and then get refilled
- 31:33by the tanker and then go to Mars and land, go all the way
- 31:37to Mars with over two hundred tons of useful payload. Then on Mars,
- 31:41in the beginning, we would, I think we would simply reuse the ship
- 31:45materials, so most of the ships wouldn't come back. But then over time
- 31:48you'd want to bring the ships back so you could reuse them. And for
- 31:52that we would need to create methane H four and oxygen O two on Mars,
- 31:56which you can do with a T and CO two. So the atmosphere
- 32:00is CO two and there's plenty of water ice H two and so it's kind
- 32:06of like tailor made for well. Actually, the reason we have a methane
- 32:12oxygen system is because you can make methane and oxygen on Mars fairly easily,
- 32:16like not that's not a total walk in the park, but the ingredients are
- 32:21readily available to create methane and oxygen on Mars. So so you build a
- 32:30propellant depot and bring the ships back and build out as quickly as possible a
- 32:37self sustaining civilization on Mars. And we want to get that. We want
- 32:40to get the cost of going to Mars such that almost anyone could afford it,
- 32:45so like if somebody were to just work hard on Earth, save up
- 32:49and that they'd be able to go to Mars. So it's like anyone.
- 32:52Ideally, almost anyone could go to Mars. And I think you'll see a
- 32:55lot of governments also sponsor people. And ultimately we want to get so there's
- 33:04a kind of an optimal landing zone on Mars where you have resources, so
- 33:08you've got access to water or frozen water that you're not too close to the
- 33:15poles, so you can use solar power. It would it would be nice
- 33:19to use nuclear. I don't know if we'll get the approval, but nuclear
- 33:22would be very handy on Mars because you can use the heat and you can
- 33:25generate electricity. So and then you kind of want to be about two kilometers
- 33:30below sea level, so if Mars did have an ocean, you'd actually be
- 33:36quite deep in the ocean, at least at first. And yeah, so
- 33:43let's see that's Mars. Kind of you kind of want to land about halfway
- 33:52between the pole and the equator in a kind of a deep area of Mars.
- 34:00If the deeper it is, the more you can use the atmosphere to
- 34:04break and the atmosphere density is higher. So these are all the things that
- 34:10would have to be developed soon. As people ask me are we developing these
- 34:15things, I'm like, not yet, because this is the cart, and
- 34:19we need the horse first. So the rocket is the horse, and then
- 34:22this is the cart. But ultimately we'll need all these things. Less of
- 34:27power generation mining in general, ice mining, propellant production, long duration life
- 34:32support, construct, a lot of construction, and the global communication. So
- 34:39I think this would open up a lot of opportunities for entrepreneurs that want to
- 34:45create any to create things on Mars. Whether that is a propellant well,
- 34:49I think we'll have to do the propellant depot. But whether it's like iron
- 34:53ore refining or a pizza joint or a bar, you know, there'll be
- 34:58an opportunity to do all the things that we like on Earth on Mars,
- 35:04like a Mars bar would be yeah, great, So I think I think
- 35:12probably a rough order of magnitude guess for what you need, how many people
- 35:15do you need for a self sustaining city is about a million and several million
- 35:22tons of cargo. So yeah, which we can do, and we can
- 35:30do this in twenty years. But like I said, in order for it
- 35:36to be self sustaining, you actually need the entire base of industry. You
- 35:38can't be missing any element. So that's that's really what's going to take take
- 35:43a while, is do you have everything you need to survive on Mars.
- 35:46At that point, the future of consciousness is asshired. So if you do
- 35:54ten launches a day at two hundred tons per launch, uh, a million
- 36:00and a half tons to Leo per opportunity. You net that out to a
- 36:05quarter million tons to Mars per opportunity, So that means you can get to
- 36:12a million tons in about eight years, since the opportunities are two years apart.
- 36:22So I think it's pretty doable, and I'm like, we're actually going
- 36:23to do this. We get well, you know, we are actually going
- 36:29to do it, which is insane to think. So millions of tons to
- 36:32Mars. Yeah, wow, we're going to build a lot of vehicles.
- 36:45So yeah, several thousand vehicles per year that's what we'll need, which really
- 36:58quite quite doable. Actually it sounds like a lot, but it's very doable.
- 37:06Yeah, if you're compared it to sort of car production, there's a
- 37:09small number. Of course, this is much bigger than a car, but
- 37:13even if you look at the total tonnage the it's still very it's very doable
- 37:17to build several thousand vehicles a year. So that's what we need to do,
- 37:24and we're gonna do it, and then long term will probably have some
- 37:30offshore launch lights. You can just imagine all of these starships waiting a otverit
- 38:02for the planets to align, and then this gigantic starfleet taking home from Mars.
- 39:00All right, so we're actually gonna do this. And when you think
- 39:06about where this started out, this was literally just like a sandbar where we're
- 39:10standing right now. And now look at what we've done here, and that
- 39:15we've gotten three flights off of starship and we've got a fourth, fourth one
- 39:19coming up, and we're building a gigantic factory that we'll be able to output
- 39:23a massive number of ships. So it's surreal, but but it's real.
- 39:30So we're actually gonna do this. We're gonna take humanity to Mars, and
- 39:37I have confident you can do it, so
