0:00
All right, everybody. Hello and welcome back.
0:04
Oh hello everybody. Hello.
0:07
Sorry about screaming at you. Sorry about screaming at you
0:11
right there. I'm just really upset with the
0:13
FAA. What's up?
0:14
Andre? What's up, Greg?
0:16
I know no. There should be a Darth Vader
0:21
right now going but there's not, it's just us screaming into the
0:27
void. Again.
0:31
The FAA has delayed Starship. At least one month.
0:36
At least one month. Whoo.
0:39
What's up Joy? I'm sure there is a reason.
0:41
I'm sure there is to be a Shaker.
0:43
What's up? Welcome everybody.
0:45
Welcome welcome. Welcome to the show.
0:49
Thanks for stopping by thanks for being part of this.
0:52
Thanks for being part of, you know, the whole the whole
0:57
shebang here because the FAA has once again, postponed SpaceX is
1:03
progress with Starship at Boca Chica.
1:06
Starbase Texas about 25 miles away from my house.
1:11
What down there earlier today, I took a look at booster seven
1:15
coming out of the out of the bay, when Back in came back out,
1:20
went back in. And now it's back again, what's
1:23
that? Hey Joy, thank you so much for
1:25
that. Super Chat.
1:26
You get some Starships. There you go.
1:29
So that's going to help out. So the trip down to Starbase
1:33
today, everything helps Joy. So thank you.
1:36
Thank you, thank you for that, really do appreciate that,
1:39
that's gas. Money to get the star base so I
1:41
can continue bringing you guys all the coverage from Starbase
1:43
that I do and do live shows in the future.
1:46
We got to shut off that alert. We got give you that final
1:49
Starship launch which unfortunately won't be happening
1:53
from Starbase anytime soon. But the good thing is I got this
1:58
thing up on the screen right now so you guys can see this.
2:00
This the email I got a couple hours ago, The FAA is updating
2:05
the release date for the SpaceX Starship super heavy final.
2:09
Programmatic environmental assessment the Peña on the
2:12
federal infrastructure, permitting, dashboard,
2:16
permitting dashboard, and project website.
2:18
The FAA plans to issue the final Peña on April 29th.
2:24
I was excited. We were three days away today
2:27
earlier today we were three days away from knowing your space
2:30
that could launch from Starbase according to this environmental
2:35
assessment. And now we have one more month
2:38
to wait. They keep pushing it back and
2:41
back and back February March. April May possibly Elon wants to
2:46
send a Starship orbital in may also do it in May.
2:51
So if they push this back one more time, April turns into may
2:55
may turns into June, you know. And then we get the same thing.
2:59
We keep getting from the FAA, which is postponement of
3:04
Starbase and Starship flight. So let's get into the second
3:08
paragraph. You I'm so upset about, I'm not
3:10
really upset. I'm just, I'm not, I'm not
3:12
surprised. Uncensored says is a surprise
3:15
anybody? I'm not surprised.
3:16
I'm just, you know, I'm just kind of like a little bit
3:19
bummed, you know? And I know some people are too.
3:22
I know you guys are. So it's like Ilan said and it
3:27
even said this in his in his latest talk from Starbase that
3:34
he thinks it's going well with the FAA and then everything's
3:38
going cool and it's they're working together.
3:41
But you know the keep postponing it and they didn't they didn't
3:44
give like a real reason you know they can give it like a specific
3:47
reason for this to happen but here we go the planned April
3:52
Twenty Ninth twenty 20 To release date will allow the FAA
3:55
to review the final PE a clinic responses, to comments and
3:59
complete consultation and coordination with agent agencies
4:02
at the local state and federal level.
4:04
I'll count stations must be completed for the FAA.
4:06
Can issue the final Peña and then they go on to say this is
4:10
where you can check all this stuff out and they send you, the
4:12
gave me a link and of course it's the same thing as before.
4:16
It's a this thing, the dashboard.
4:20
The SpaceX Starship super heavy launch vehicle program, and the
4:23
SpaceX Boca Chica launch site in Cameron County, Texas, who look
4:31
at this. You can see you can see the
4:32
location and a little Google Map.
4:34
There they have all these things environmental review and permit,
4:37
status and progress, estimated completion date for 29 2022,
4:42
that was 328. 2022 this yesterday and earlier today?
4:49
It'll happen though. It'll happen.
4:51
Will we will launch this thing? It will launch a little bit
4:54
revved up right now about this because I want this thing to
4:57
work. It's to work.
5:00
Please FAA, do it. I know I'm there with everybody
5:04
else. I'm there with you, man.
5:06
I'm there with you. I know how bad it how bad we
5:09
want this launch and how much we want to see a Starship launch,
5:12
but we have to take our time with take a deep breath.
5:14
Everybody. Take a deep breath. in and out
5:19
because the FAA, We'll eventually get around to it and
5:24
hopefully they'll say all right thumbs up SpaceX for your
5:29
launches from Starbase. And also if you like this kind
5:33
of content give me a thumbs up for the video really does help
5:36
out the likes really do help and it will help give me
5:40
opportunities to bring you more coverage from Starbase.
5:43
So give this video a thumbs up. If you can environmental review
5:46
and permitting process is complete to only two of five.
5:50
I've been completed so far and you can go down.
5:51
Here all the way down to this grid.
5:54
This it was just so close. It was so close, but look it now
5:59
the line is moved the goal line, the keep moving the goal lines
6:03
out month by month, but if they need this process to happen, If
6:08
they need this process to happen, like this SpaceX is
6:14
going to be okay with it if they can launch from Boca Chica.
6:19
Now if the FAA says that we need another year, we need another
6:23
six months SpaceX is going to be like, okay, we'll continue
6:26
building this thing down here, but we're going to move
6:32
everything to the cape. We're never going to look back.
6:37
Like if you want will when you get around to it FAA, but you
6:40
get around to it government because I already have the
6:42
ability to launch from from the cape.
6:47
So they don't need Boca Chica to launch.
6:52
Not quite, but it does put a kind of, like a stinger on them,
6:56
you know, like it does kind of stopped them in their tracks for
6:58
a little bit, which is annoying. More than anything if they need
7:04
but they need to do this, right? And they need to take their time
7:07
and I understand that, you know, and I think everybody else can
7:10
understands that to that these things are planned for the
7:13
future but anything where there's hundreds of people
7:17
involved different agencies involved and just so many people
7:23
in different parts. Places things touching different
7:27
things, sending emails to people sending out different things.
7:31
It takes a long time I mean I know for a fact everybody that
7:34
works for a living. You know how hard it is to get
7:38
one person to do one thing, right?
7:41
So you could send a task to somebody and they could say well
7:44
it's going to take me a week to get this done.
7:48
Alright. So in the that person's like
7:50
falls behind a little bit, maybe it's not a week, maybe it's a
7:54
week and a half, right? So imagine that then upscale
7:58
that by 100 people. What if, you know, they have to
8:04
go through all, they have to go through thousands of replies for
8:08
this thing. So, I get it.
8:09
I understand that was in these people. that have talked about
8:15
SpaceX the environment, why we want SpaceX to launch, people
8:19
wrote letters like huge like pages and pages of stuff for the
8:24
FAA to go over and of course The FAA has to go, through all of it
8:30
has to read it, word for word, can't just skim it as SpaceX.
8:34
Has some people on that too. So SpaceX was involved with
8:38
looking over the stuff and giving the FAA bullet points,
8:40
going back and forth and the FAA and SpaceX have been working
8:44
together for a long time really well together.
8:47
So I don't think there's any beef between the FAA and SpaceX.
8:50
I just think it's I just think it takes a little bit of time
8:53
which and I know it doesn't. It's not what I want to hear.
8:58
I want to hear the FAA is messing.
9:01
Up SpaceX, 100% of cfda's fault. If SpaceX doesn't launch in May.
9:07
I would love to think that that's the case, but I just
9:10
think it's bureaucracy and I think it's red tape and I think
9:13
it's just the sheer amount of work that they had to do so
9:18
pushing it back one month. It sucks.
9:22
I'm going to be honest with you guys.
9:23
Not happy with it. I wanted this thing to go
9:25
through as soon as possible I want to cheer I want it like
9:28
three days from. I want to have a parade.
9:31
I want I want to go to Starbase and like have a flag you know.
9:34
Like yeah you think you have it like you know, do that whole
9:37
thing. I want to be excited about it
9:40
but the you know we have to wait another month in a day because
9:43
of it. So unfortunately that's what
9:46
SpaceX has to go up against right now.
9:49
They're postponed by another. A month, but if Ilan was just
9:53
launched in May, this isn't really matter then, right?
9:58
Let me know like inch and let me know what you think, because if
10:03
they, if they're going to launch in May anyways, if the FAA gets
10:07
done in April, then it doesn't matter anyway, so they could get
10:11
done in three days or they could get done in a month.
10:13
This show is brought to you by backblaze, I use back place to
10:17
back up my podcast. My video files, all of my
10:20
writing stuff. All my photos and you get
10:22
unlimited computer backup for Macs and PCs for just $7 a
10:26
month. You can back up your own
10:28
documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
10:31
data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
10:35
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
10:38
to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is a cool part.
10:41
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
10:43
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
10:47
to your door. It could come to your business
10:48
to and you can restore return. Refund program.
10:52
So you can buy a hard drive restore, send the hard drive
10:54
back within 30 days and get a full refund.
10:57
So basically they ship you this hard drive and then you ship it
11:01
back and you don't ever pay for it which is the perfect program
11:04
for somebody who has huge files. You don't want to waste days and
11:07
days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
11:10
And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
11:12
files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
11:15
history to one year, and I use it for all of my video files
11:20
comes in. Andy, so seven dollars plus two
11:22
dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.
11:25

12:25
SpaceX will still launch in May. If this works out, you know, if
12:30
Starship works out so they could you know, might not even be a
12:36
thing, might not be an issue so we'll see.
12:40
We'll see what happens in a month and that's kind of me
12:42
talking talking, you through this and talking myself through
12:45
this too, because it's tough, it's tough to think about that
12:48
stuff. When you're like, so riled up.
12:51
I saw this earlier today, I was like oh no oh no you didn't but
12:56
yeah the whole thing just went went South.
13:01
Joyce has I got to run but we'll watch this later.
13:03
FAA is what it is. All we will be okay.
13:06
Yeah exactly exactly. I think everything is gonna be
13:09
okay joy and I'm conscious if he holds them back and ask is blue
13:13
origin. Another chance strange, how that
13:15
works? Interesting.
13:18
It's a blue origin launch coming up to by the way.
13:21
Hello from Erie, PA Gary. What's up?
13:24
I miss irie, man. I missed that whole area.
13:26
The whole area is beautiful. So that's here's a little side
13:31
note for you Gary, Texas is really really flat where I'm at.
13:35
There are no Hills, no pine trees.
13:38
I'm from the Buffalo area. So I know what Hills and pine
13:41
trees are like, and I know what mountains are like and the
13:44
rolling, Southern Tier of Western New York that whole,
13:50
beautiful Wine Country, And so I I feel you man.
13:53
Celia VI Gary. So it's flat down here.
13:56
Enjoy the nature up there. Shakira says, when did SpaceX
14:01
begin this environmental assessment process?
14:03
How long has it been going on all together?
14:05
Oh man, this has been going on since let me see if I can find
14:09
it on here. I think it's I think there's a
14:11
start date on here. Maybe not, maybe this is, maybe
14:18
this goes to, I know it's on here somewhere.
14:23
Let's see, September 20 21 FAA published a draft, programmatic
14:31
environmental assessment for SpaceX and SpaceX president
14:34
draft Peña on September 17, 20 21 if they intended to release
14:38
the Peña. March, 28, 20, 22, and then they
14:41
postponed it till the 29th of April.
14:44
So since last year, they've been going since last year and
14:47
they've been postponing it ever since, you know?
14:49
So it was on there somewhere. Tanner says do you think this
14:55
the these are some carrots in Brownsville who are worried
14:58
about environment? What do you think is the main
14:59
thing holding it back? I think it's just Tanner I
15:01
really do think it's just there's a lot of there's a lot
15:06
of work to do. You know what I'm saying?
15:08
Like there's there's just a ton of stuff but also I think there
15:11
are people that are that are worried about the environment
15:14
and I think that's totally valid.
15:15
I think it's totally. Valid of people are worried
15:17
about the environment. I met somebody down here.
15:21
We were joking around, you know, we were totally joking around
15:23
but we were watching it was for the first stack of ship 20 and
15:29
booster for and I was on the dunes and I can't remember the
15:33
guys name. Cool dude cool guy and we're
15:35
hanging out. We're talking about stuff and
15:38
just talking about Starship and stuff and like the launch and
15:40
things and I was like yeah you know it's going to be a while
15:44
before the FAA gives them the go and we were talking about the
15:47
environment, we are talking about the animals.
15:49
I was like, you know, we Have to make sure that the animals are
15:51
taken care of and I want to do it, right.
15:53
You know, I want the FAA to be okay.
15:55
And I want the animals to be, okay, too.
15:57
I also want humans to progress forward so I told him, you know,
16:01
I want, I want to make sure that the animals are.
16:03
Okay, I want to make sure that everything's okay because if an
16:06
earthworm is out of place that can mess up the whole ecosystem,
16:10
you know, and I was just saying, you know, basically that's
16:11
pretty much what it is on earth, worms, out of place.
16:14
If we kill all the earthworm's down there, whatever whatever it
16:16
is. Then maybe the bird won't eat
16:21
that thing. They don't have food there that
16:23
bird eyes because it doesn't have enough nutrition and then
16:26
from there goes up and up the food chain, bunch of stuff, gets
16:30
out of place because of some rumbling from a rocket you know
16:34
something like that. It is like yeah whatever like
16:38
what. But I think a lot of people
16:40
think like that they think of like yeah whatever this launch
16:42
this thing and I am there with you guys.
16:45
Like I want this thing to launch two but I think we have to do a
16:47
right? And I think the FAA is doing the
16:48
right. By maybe not by postponing it so
16:51
much but I think they're doing the right thing by doing the
16:54
Environmental. Review a permitting process
16:58
thoroughly because they don't want people to come back later
17:02
and Sue, the FAA or federal agencies, you know, whatever due
17:08
to something that they overlooked.
17:10
So they have to be very, very specific about what they what
17:12
they get into here and SpaceX is the same way.
17:15
I think, they think the same way, they don't want to do, they
17:19
want to, they want to make sure that it's done.
17:21
Right? And I know it's, you know, it's
17:24
probably frustrating as hell for those guys.
17:25
And not, you know for me I'm like I'm a fan and I'm an
17:29
observer I I see Starships almost every day, I go down to
17:33
Boca. Chica I go down to Starbase.
17:35
I was down there earlier today and been in a couple days it was
17:39
cool to be back and yeah. So the, the postponement isn't
17:46
going to affect me in particular, but it'll affect.
17:50
If it keeps getting pushed back month by month, it'll affect
17:53
SpaceX in the progress of Our ship and their moon landings.
17:58
The lunar line is the Artemis Landings.
18:00
I mean those things are pretty big deal, right in the Polaris
18:04
project to so and dear Moon and all the other things that
18:08
Starship needs to do like launch, Starling satellites.
18:11
Now, they're going to make a bunch more money.
18:12
The more satellites they can launch.
18:14
More coverage means more, people can have it Gary Cunningham to
18:18
says, I just got my start link dish, so Eerie and buffalo have
18:20
surface now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
18:24
That's what I'm saying. More said.
18:25
It's more coverage, more money, it's sustainable, actually, I
18:29
read this thing. I think was Gwynne.
18:31
Shotwell, I believe it was when somebody from SpaceX said star
18:36
like right now is sustainable, they're making enough money to
18:39
continue. Starlink the way that it is and
18:43
they don't need any outside funding to continue funding
18:46
starlink because SpaceX starlink is doing well on its own, but if
18:52
they can make more money, that's even better.
18:55
Bring it to more people, that's even better.
18:58
So yeah it's just it's a like I was saying before the the
19:03
earthworm in the bird it's kind of like that.
19:05
Like if they don't let SpaceX launch a Starship from Boca
19:09
Chica, they can't launch star link for Boca Chica.
19:12
They can't launch moon. Lunar tests, were orbital test
19:16
from Boca Chica. They have to spend time, either
19:19
transporting stuff from Boca Chica, which be kind of a pain,
19:22
but it's totally possible. They've done it before.
19:25
NASA has done it before they barged a lot of ships around,
19:30
it's possible, but building things at Nasa over there at the
19:39
cape that's going to be a thing. So yeah, it's crazy.
19:45
It's crazy how fast this is all working.
19:47
So it's crazy how fast it working, but also there's a
19:51
possible slowdown due to the FAA, it's insane.
19:56
Audrey rocket sizes. So large is amazing.
19:58
Camera does not do it. Justice, 100%, 100% Andre 100%
20:04
the first time I came down here so you can see like I can watch
20:08
all the all the streams NASA space flight and you know
20:10
whoever else is down here and doing their thing.
20:14
But literally it is life-changing when you drive
20:18
down highway for in you see for the first time you see a high
20:22
Bay like picking up over some bushes and trees and you like It
20:25
is your miles. You're still miles away, you
20:28
know, you're probably five miles away from it, but you can see it
20:31
in that it goes behind those trees.
20:32
Again are those bushes and you're like what's high Bay the
20:36
like the first time I went down I didn't really know what to
20:38
expect because it's a lot different in person.
20:41
And you're like, I was like, what's that?
20:43
I be, what is that, you know? I didn't know.
20:46
I've never been here before, and then you see, you see the whole
20:52
thing. You see what they're doing down
20:54
here and you see a rocket literally in the Rocket Garden,
20:57
like, you can get pretty close. You get like almost underneath
21:00
those things and you look up and you're like one day I was
21:04
looking up so high that my hat fell off.
21:06
Like that's a that's a that's how about all these things are
21:10
the kind of 250 feet tall. Huge.
21:12
Yeah, it's kind of crazy and I'm says, hope you put your order
21:19
in. Well, they just raise the price
21:20
of the in down payment at all. Yeah, etem I did, I did the
21:23
other day. Yeah.
21:23
So I'm getting started link down here.
21:25
Hopefully, I get it soon. Hopefully, I get it before the
21:28
launch. That would be perfect, but I
21:31
have a plan in place. So there's, there's a way to do
21:35
it where you can, you don't have to have your current address as
21:40
your only address for Star Lake so you can make it mobile.
21:43
Basically. So I figured all that stuff out
21:46
and I'm just waiting on confirmation that I'm going to
21:48
get started link. So should should get shipped
21:52
some time. But yeah, I saw the price where
21:53
the price raise and I'm I'm okay with it because I understand
21:58
what it's going to bring me. And I know it's going to bring
22:00
you guys to, because I know that live streaming is one of those
22:04
things that I love to do it. I'd love to do it from Starbase.
22:08
But man, my my hot. Dies out after 30 minutes and
22:13
then like my data gets cut, but data gets cut off and then it
22:18
like stops the stream and then it picks back up after a few
22:20
minutes. And I'm like, I don't want to
22:21
interrupt signal, you know, like that's annoying.
22:24
So yeah, it's just going to be crazy in the future with star
22:29
like down there. I know a couple other streamers
22:31
use it in there, okay? With it.
22:32
Like it's totally cool. You just whip it out of your
22:36
trunk and throw it on your, on your roof while you stream.
22:39
So will be cool for the launch. To Andre says, dude your channel
22:43
is freaking Zone and zooming in subscribe and yeah it's going
22:46
crazy, right? People are subscribing like
22:48
nuts. So yeah, thanks to everybody
22:50
who's been subscribing to the channel to super cool.
22:53
Appreciate you. I'm Margot says are they
22:56
actually out there? Checking out the nature habitat
22:58
to do studies to see what the Rockets impact will be.
23:02
You know, I've seen some FAA and Wildlife people out there so
23:08
it's possible I don't know what they're doing in particular.
23:11
But I have been down there. And I have seen, I have seen it
23:15
happen. I've seen fish and wildlife fish
23:17
and game people down there, doing their thing.
23:21
So they could be, they could be for this kind of stuff.
23:25
Maybe they're doing an assessment down there, I'm not
23:27
sure. I don't know what they're doing,
23:29
if those are the people. But I know I've seen a bunch of
23:31
trucks down there actually. One Saturday.
23:33
There was a there's a side road right before Starbase.
23:37
I don't know the name of the road off the top of my head but
23:39
it's a little road, a little side road.
23:42
And as you're going down highway for that, it just goes off to
23:46
the right and I saw like 10 weld life trucks out there.
23:50
So yeah it's cool, it's cool. I think they're out there doing
23:54
their thing. I'll need to send a letter to
23:58
the FAA and tell them what a as they are.
24:01
Yeah. Yeah.
24:05
I think they're doing okay though.
24:07
You know, I think that would just postpone things a little
24:10
bit more. You're planning a trip to Boca
24:12
in Month or two. That's going to be so fun.
24:14
If you can, stay on South Padre Island.
24:19
Yeah, South Padre Island. Stay there for a night or two
24:22
nights, whatever you can get, like relatively decent hotel.
24:27
Like a good hotel for relatively good price too.
24:30
But I would book in advance. I don't get any money for this
24:33
but the Pearl is South Padre. There are good, they're good
24:38
hotel and you how you can get a room with a view of a Starship
24:42
of the Starship Boca Chica Beach.
24:44
So that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool.
24:47
So let's see. Guide 88 says we'll keep it
24:53
going. Got a scoop be vigilant.
24:54
Stay positive. Heck yes.
24:56
Thank you. Thank you so much.
24:58
Jeff says, where do you sign up? Where do you look to find
25:00
Sterling starlink.com actually? That's where, yeah.
25:07
Yeah. So that's also Andre.
25:08
If you you know if you if you want to just Camp you can camp
25:13
on the beach at Starbase too. So Bronzeville tells her
25:21
interesting. Yeah, you know, and I love
25:23
Brownsville. I think it's great, but South
25:25
Padre Island has a much better selection of hotels.
25:27
If you know what I'm saying? Yeah, so much much more
25:32
touristy. It's much more fun.
25:34
It's, I think it's a better better experience.
25:37
It's going to be fun for you though.
25:39
Regardless, if you don't have any money like stand on the
25:41
beach. Totally, cool.
25:43
Stay in your car, you know, have a little Camp going on down
25:46
there. Totally cool.
25:48
You can pull off to the side of the road Highway for and I think
25:50
you can sleep in your car there. I'm not sure but I think I'm not
25:54
sure what the what the legalities of that are.
25:58
So don't take my Word on it please.
26:00
But I think you can get a room for.
26:04
Like 100 bucks a night or something like that and there's
26:07
there's a really inexpensive hotel in Brownsville is like 40
26:10
bucks a night. I don't know where it is.
26:12
But I saw some vlogger. Do a, do a show about
26:16
Brownsville? And they were like, yeah, we
26:17
stay in Brownsville for like 40 bucks a night, and I'm like,
26:20
what that's cheap? Like how'd you get that?
26:24
So, you know, we're going to see, we're going to see what
26:28
happens. Yeah, but correct me if I'm
26:32
wrong, but I'm sure keep going to roles on a wild.
26:33
Reserve Refuge refuge in NASA. Got approved.
26:36
Yes, yes, Bruce, that's 100% true SpaceX has been approved
26:42
for the environmental stuff over at the cape.
26:46
So whatever happens at Boca, they're just going to keep that
26:50
Boca and move on to the cape if they can't move on with launches
26:56
from here. So unfortunately, you know, we
26:59
have to wait for them. They won't launch it may either
27:03
Davis. I agreed.
27:04
I agree with you. I don't think they're going to
27:08
launch inmate. They don't have a lot of time,
27:10
you know, booster 7 doesn't have grid fins on it and I don't know
27:15
if or when they're going to put grid fins on booster 7.
27:20
Why would they, why would they not have grid fans on it yet?
27:24
If they're going to use it on the at the launch site?
27:26
That's another question that I'd like to ask you, guys, I guess
27:29
some footage. They I wonder if I can find that
27:32
for you. Oh, you know, I did a.
27:33
I did a short earlier, so maybe I could pull that up for you.
27:39
Let's see. See if I can find that.
27:41
There it is. So booster seven, let me see if
27:45
I can pull that up. Might be audio in this.
27:50
I'm not sure that's not the right one.
27:54
I grabbed the wrong video. Don't look at that huh?
27:59
Blue origin. We can talk about that for a
28:01
second to. There's a there's a launch blue
28:06
origin, new Shepherd, Mission, NS 20 March 29th, then we can
28:12
check out a little bit of that. I would want to take a look at
28:14
this but these are all like regular people.
28:17
These are like moms and dads, you know, like it's kind of cool
28:22
blue origin today. Not 26 crew.
28:24
Member joining you Shepherd's 20th, Mission with blue Origins.
28:26
Gary Lay new Shepherd, Chief Architect Gary Jones.
28:30
A previously announced crew, We're scary or maybe it's Lee.
28:34
I'm not sure why maybe, I'm not sure bad at names but they have.
28:40
Yeah, they have six people here and they all look like Like your
28:46
mom right here, Dad. Like they're all a little bit
28:49
older, so It's the thing that people are gravitating towards
28:55
people with money who have had money for a long time can get
28:58
these flights but it's kind of cool because they're showing
29:00
that regular people, you know, after soccer practice or you
29:04
know when they drop you off at soccer, practice to going to go
29:06
jump in a blue origin flight real quick and then you know
29:09
they're going to go to space and then come back down, pick you up
29:11
and then you go home and eat dinner.
29:13
You know it's one of those things seems pretty cool but I
29:16
think this is the booster There we go.
29:21
Get that out of there. So booster 7, as you can see
29:24
here, they're prepping it for move earlier today.
29:28
I was out there earlier today. Booster 7, no grid fins, you can
29:32
see at the top there, there's no grid fins.
29:35
So, I don't know what the heck they're doing with this thing
29:37
but we'll see what happens. I don't know if we get a launch
29:38
this or not, but it seems like it's a weird thing.
29:42
Why wouldn't they have grid? Finn's already, they should have
29:44
good fins on this thing before they fly it, that would make
29:48
sense. Or before they take it to the
29:49
launch site, it makes it doesn't make any sense to me.
29:53
So are they taking this into the Rocket Garden?
29:56
Or are they going to scrap it? What are they, why do they build
29:59
it? The not going to use.
30:00
It will boost her eight, be a better, booster apparently.
30:05
Booster 8 is very similar to booster 7.
30:08
There's a common Dome. I think that's a little bit
30:10
different or something like that but I think very similar to
30:13
booster seven, I think this might be This might be a test or
30:17
like a, what's it called? Has a highway.
30:22
What's it called? Test basically a test vehicle
30:25
possibly to see how they can build it in that, they build
30:27
boost rate a little bit better because they have time.
30:29
They have till May, but these also still have to do pressure
30:33
test. They have to cry.
30:33
Oh, test. They have to do static fires,
30:36
and they have to do that with not only booster, but they also
30:38
have to do that with ships. Whatever the ship is going to
30:41
be. That they're going to use people
30:42
say ship 22, like ship 24, maybe 24/7 would be cool.
30:50
Somebody said that none, The on the on a stream earlier today.
30:55
24/7, happycabbie says going again, April.
30:59
I'd booked When the Thought 420 was going to launch on 420.
31:02
Oh nice. Nice.
31:06
Yeah. X pixel says will.
31:12
The second orbital test be caught by the Chopstick arms?
31:15
No, prob guaranteed not going to catch anything with a chopstick
31:20
arms until a few flights are done because they don't want to
31:25
destroy the infrastructure because if something goes wrong
31:29
it could they don't want to destroy things.
31:31
So catching things in the Chopsticks.
31:33
The second orbital flight, probably not going to happen.
31:36
You can never say never with SpaceX though.
31:38
So, I mean, they might discover that was a great first test
31:42
launch but I'm pretty much guarantee that the Pathfinder
31:47
are in. Yes, yes, perfect.
31:49
That was like Road Highway ditch.
31:55
So I don't think they going to catch up with a Chopsticks not
31:57
anytime soon. I think it's going to be four or
31:59
five flights. Maybe ten flights down I don't
32:01
know but sit like soft Safe, Water Landings.
32:05
It doesn't make any sense to to you know, risk it all to test,
32:12
something like the Chopsticks until you get the landing
32:15
absolutely pinpoint accurate. Even though those Chopsticks are
32:20
absolutely huge in person in their gigantic, don't risk it,
32:24
not worth it, there's infrastructure stage 0, there's
32:28
other things there, there's all the tanks, there's all the
32:32
infrastructure, they're all the pipes, all the electronics.
32:35
Everything there everything re condensers everything, don't
32:38
blow it up, not worth it. So I would say 10:00 flight,
32:42
baby, seven, flights, something like that.
32:45
Just to get a perfect addresses. Fe is postponing due to some
32:51
statistical analysis that they're doing on water animals,
32:54
and sound and pollution emissions controls.
32:55
Yeah, basically. Yeah.
32:57
They're their paperwork at this point, you know, it's paperwork
33:03
and that's kind of Cat a kind of boring you know like a boring
33:10
reason for them to do it. But it is what it is.
33:12
You know, tomorrow is yesterday says the best grid friends are
33:15
no Griffin's, maybe you, never know.
33:19
I mean if they don't really need to land this thing, in any
33:23
particular area, if they can guide it enough with huh, with
33:30
Raptors with Kimberling Raptors I mean, they don't really need
33:34
to slow it down. Do they other than at the at the
33:38
landing area? They might be able to control it
33:41
with Raptors that would be so we especially for these test
33:45
flights. Maybe don't even do grid fins.
33:49
That's interesting though. It's an interesting concept.
33:54
To be fair though, a lot of that is probably designed to
33:56
withstand the fireball. Yeah, yeah.
34:01
Space X tends to take risks more than other rock companies.
34:03
Yeah, I agree. I agree.
34:05
But they also have, you know, they have millions of dollars at
34:08
Starbase like the the videos do it.
34:11
No justice about how complex these systems are absolutely
34:16
insane. You know, no matter how many
34:20
videos or pictures I've seen of stage 0 or how many videos or
34:27
photos that I've taken of state zero every time I go down Our
34:30
Mike was that there yesterday? You know, there's just immense
34:35
miles of cables and just like circuit boards and servos and
34:40
you know, just tons of stuff on the at the base of stage zero
34:45
that, like, I don't think they'd risk it right away.
34:47
I think they would take them a while.
34:52
Sebby says, Starship is going to be absolutely crucial going
34:54
forward. Now that be forced to laid a
34:57
NASA. Finally.
34:58
Admitted SLS is unsustainable and already 180s are no longer
35:01
available for commercial customers.
35:04
Yeah, I think the FAA should hurry to I agree with you now
35:09
that they see that SpaceX, you know they're giving them a
35:14
reusable sort of function for the SLS for the hls.
35:19
Sorry. So yeah, I think it's going to,
35:23
I think it's going to be pretty cool in the next, I don't know.
35:29
Three, four months to see what happens down there at Starbase,
35:32
but in the next 10 months to a year, it's going to be wild.
35:36
Dude, it's gonna be wild - take the fins from booster for.
35:42
I'm sure they haven't changed them.
35:43
Oh yeah, that's a good idea to take them off for because they
35:47
have to move for out of there. They got to get the engines off
35:50
for cart. The engines out, have to move
35:53
booster for so to take the fins off for they probably yeah, they
35:57
sure I'm sure they haven't done much.
35:59
Change to them. So if they have it probably
36:01
hasn't been a ton. Is the new Chimes act as wings
36:05
like Wei video describes maybe they can glide back without
36:09
fans. Maybe.
36:11
Yeah, maybe I mean, you can kind of see at the bottom.
36:18
It's our kind of its kind of fin like down there the bottom of
36:20
the booster right above the words there between before the
36:24
breaking news thing. It's possible possible to covers
36:28
could be more like fins, but they don't move or anything.
36:31
That's the problem, I think. But I think they could do a
36:34
pulse landing and kind of guide it back in with, with the
36:39
Raptors, It's not the delay. I'm worried about is the fact
36:43
that I keep making themselves Liars.
36:45
I don't think they're making this up Flyers, though.
36:46
I wouldn't go that far. I would say they didn't
36:49
anticipate all that. They got from the people.
36:52
I think that's part of it, too. I think the, I don't think these
36:57
people are pretend, like, purposefully being horrible.
37:02
You know what I'm saying? Like, they're not purposefully
37:04
being stopping SpaceX from launching.
37:09
Happy Kappa, thank you got to run.
37:11
Well thanks for the update. Enjoy your night.
37:14
It's almost yea 7:30 here. So I got to get going in a
37:17
little bit to thank you. You get a Starship you get a
37:20
couple Starships for that. Thank you so much.
37:21
That's like five, four or five trips down to Starbase.
37:25
Thank you so much for that happy.
37:28
I've really appreciate you man. But the yeah they're so there's
37:34
so many comments from environmental groups the That
37:38
SpaceX had to go through people like myself who wrote a book
37:43
basically to the FAA, telling them.
37:45
Hey you should do this. The future of humanity is, you
37:49
know, this is on you man, if you don't do it, that's cool.
37:54
But something happens, it's all on you.
37:59
There's tens of thousands of comments though, and not every
38:03
comment is just like you should do this.
38:06
This sounds cool. You know, there are some that
38:09
are pages long, you know, and there are some that are couple
38:12
paragraphs long and you have to read every single one of those
38:15
and not only read it, but you have to, you have to Market, you
38:18
have to grade it. If the tell them, you know,
38:21
what's good? What's bad?
38:22
Is this a good thing for us? It's a bad thing.
38:24
Then you have to go through that data, sift through that data,
38:27
it's a huge process and I don't think the FAA or SpaceX really
38:32
expected that much. So I think they're kind of
38:34
getting through all that stuff and then they have to To the
38:36
other, you know, not just the FAA, but there's other other
38:40
things involved to check this out.
38:42
So it's not just the FAA. In tired Endangered Species Act
38:47
consultation section 104. 106 review environmental assessment,
38:51
endangered species, X consultation, you know, all this
38:54
stuff. It all has to has to go through
38:58
magnuson-stevens fishery conservation and management act
39:01
section 305 essential fish habitat consultation.
39:04
So they have to consult with bunch of other places.
39:07
You know, government agencies like for tens of thousands of
39:11
comments. So it's not just wish it were
39:14
easy, you know, I wish the answer was there's 10, other
39:19
seven thousand comments that go. Yes, let's go.
39:23
And then there's 3,000 to go man.
39:25
I don't really want this to happen or like don't want it to
39:27
happen and there's some in between you know that that you
39:30
have to decipher what they want because some people aren't good
39:33
at communicating this kind of stuff and that, you know, I
39:37
think it's I think it's a thing as a people think too.
39:42
You know. I think there's just maybe not
39:44
enough Workforce to get this done too.
39:46
So, II. Think, you know, it just comes
39:50
down to people power at some point and getting it right
39:54
getting in front of the right people.
39:57
Giving them kind of a broad overview things and then
39:59
drilling it. I knew how Corporate stuff
40:01
works. Man, I worked the corporation
40:03
and sometimes it is like pulling teeth.
40:05
Sometimes. One small thing that could have
40:08
been a chat turns into a three-day meeting, but you could
40:13
have just said, hey dude, got my code done this morning.
40:19
What else do you need? But instead you have your boss
40:24
who micromanages you, this is from personal experience, the
40:29
boss that micromanages is you after you've sent after you send
40:32
your code up to the, to the, to the git repository and your boss
40:37
is like, oh, so I've seen you've sent your your code up.
40:41
Let's go through next steps and then he does a three-day meeting
40:44
about next steps. When he all he could have said
40:46
was, here's the bullet points, brother.
40:48
This is what you need to do to get this done.
40:52
And then you're like, oh why am I sitting in this meeting?
40:54
Like this has nothing to do with me.
40:57
You're just spouting off stuff that you want to hear yourself
40:59
talk about. So there could be some of that
41:01
going on too. You know, the government's, the
41:05
biggest corporation in America so it is the Corporation of
41:08
America. Basically, it's a big business,
41:11
you know, everything. It's a big machine has a lot of
41:14
parts in that machine so something could have been a
41:17
text. Probably a three-day meeting.
41:20
So that's what I'm saying about the FAA.
41:23
I wish it were faster. I wish it'd work done and then
41:26
we would know. We wouldn't have this hesitation
41:28
of got like, well, what if what if you know So Elon to tell
41:36
everybody to go ahead and voice their opinion, maybe he should
41:38
have. Yeah.
41:39
Well the other yeah. Yeah.
41:41
And he has millions of followers on Twitter too so that tweet
41:45
probably got them you know, tens of thousands of people.
41:50
You know, rock it in their comments and stuff and positive
41:54
or negative because he has a lot of haters.
41:57
Ilan. For some reason, people hate the
41:59
guy or they love the guy. This is richest guy in the
42:02
world. He's making rockets and they
42:04
think these making these, right? Some people think elon's making
42:07
Rockets to send the Billionaire's off the planet in
42:10
Escape I'm like, yo, do you understand how deadly spaces?
42:17
That's not what they're doing. Why would they do that?
42:19
That just doesn't make any sense was actually talking with one of
42:23
my friends earlier today. And we were talking about that
42:28
like his ally is a is Elon actually from Mars and we
42:33
started make it up, you know, funny funny themes that
42:36
conspiracy theory people would talk about like what was it?
42:41
I think it was Elon is sending people to Mars because he's
42:44
actually in like, he's a robot or something, in an order for
42:49
him to become a human, he has to have a Mars baby or something,
42:52
it was like, but you know, conspiracy minded people would
42:55
think that, they think those kind of things and it's crazy
42:59
but people also think that, you know, the f is a big, Fe a
43:03
conspiracy holding back SpaceX because the FAA somebody in the
43:07
FAA has ties with some other company which yeah there might
43:11
be friends with them but that's collusion and Corruption two of
43:15
the most like criminal things in agency could do and people that
43:20
are in that agency, if they're doing that, if there's proof of
43:22
them doing that, they go to To have to go through the whole
43:26
legal process and find them you know, guilty or whatever.
43:29
But so it when it comes down to is there's a lot of paperwork
43:33
that's why I'm trying to get out here.
43:34
There's a lot of paperwork. So I just wanted you guys to be
43:37
able to blow off a little bit of steam and myself.
43:38
Blow off, a little bit of steam about that to about this too
43:41
because sometimes it's a lot to take in.
43:46
Especially when you're as invested as you are.
43:48
And I am about SpaceX and about Starship because we are
43:52
invested, like I wouldn't have a SpaceX Channel.
43:54
Like, I don't have a space news, pod Channel, if it weren't for
43:58
my investment of just loving space flight.
44:04
You know, and it's the the fact that I know that these things
44:09
take a lot of time and I know that everybody involved is a
44:12
person. You know I have to think about
44:14
that to everyone. There is a person in a like you
44:18
can't like I put I procrastinate it today.
44:21
Writing code. You know I'm doing a portfolio
44:24
piece of code and I put I postponed you know I
44:30
procrastinated for a couple hours because I was like wow.
44:34
I just gotta clean up the house. I just gotta do this and that
44:37
but I'm just one guy. Could you imagine a thousand of
44:40
me doing that? So that could be.
44:42
That's a possibility, too. So, somebody could have went on
44:45
a long, lunch that day and missed a meeting.
44:48
Would you call Rocket lab Neutron like a mini Starship
44:51
also I think rocket lab serves more love.
44:53
I love rocket lab. I think it's really a really
44:55
great organization, really great company and I wish them all the
44:59
best in the future in their future endeavors.
45:01
It sounds like I just broke up with them, it sounds like it was
45:06
like rocker lab. You know, you're really good,
45:08
you're really good guy, rocket lab.
45:12
But yeah, it's like a, I mean, it's, I think it's on their way
45:14
to becoming. I think they're on their way to
45:16
becoming like a mini. Like a mini SpaceX, you know,
45:21
it's gonna take him a little while.
45:23
I think there are Behemoth, space companies out there to
45:26
that are looking at Starship and looking at SpaceX and going, I
45:30
think we could do something like that, you know, I think we could
45:32
do something like that and kind of take them out a little bit.
45:34
Take off some of their because like those people see, billions
45:37
of dollars in Revenue. You know, they're not just big
45:41
and Rockets to make rockets to go to Mars.
45:43
It's Basics is doing this to make money and it's a business,
45:49
it's like anything else. Anything else where you make
45:51
money? Got to think of how we going to
45:55
make that money. How much money can you make?
45:58
Are you getting greedy? And if you're getting greedy,
46:00
why are you good at getting greedy?
46:02
Is it going to be better for? The overall end product in Space
46:07
X is and a product is Mars getting people to Mars?
46:11
And Beyond so something like starlink where they can make
46:15
billions of dollars and then bankroll everything else.
46:17
Is that greed or is that business, you know, did they
46:21
make this? So they can make a bunch of
46:23
money and only because they want to make a bunch of money.
46:26
Not just that they have a, there's a purpose to bring
46:28
internet to people that don't have internet.
46:31
But also to make a butt load of money and bring people internet,
46:36
you know that don't have internet.
46:38
So make that money back. Kroll, Starship, etc, etc.
46:42
Keep going. And then from there, everything
46:46
falls into place and then that'll be all all good.
46:51
So it's all, it's all money, based.
46:53
And I think SpaceX is doing the right thing and I think rocket
46:56
lab, they have there. They have their little piece of
46:58
the pie and I think eventually they'll have a bigger piece of
47:01
the pie because they're doing it right.
47:03
And they're doing it very well for, as for not as long as you
47:08
know, they haven't been around for a long time as far.
47:10
Raz. Like they're not a legacy space
47:12
company. You know, there are new space
47:13
company. So yeah, I think there's a,
47:18
there's a thing to be said about rocket lab that they've done so
47:21
much in such a little amount of time.
47:23
So, yeah, kind of crazy. Also, one more thing before we
47:28
go SpaceX has six additional space station.
47:33
Resupply missions, Dragon will continue to deliver critical
47:36
cargo and NASA and supplies to and from the orbitals lab
47:40
through 2026. So SpaceX will be working with
47:44
NASA. Isa bringing stuff to the space
47:46
station through 2026 and they go through on this NASA page CRS to
47:51
contracts to resupply the space station at 2016 in that 2020.
47:58
They had another 12 additional missions from Northrop Grumman,
48:02
three additional missions from SpaceX and now they have a total
48:06
of 32 missions have been ordered by the agency for cargo resupply
48:09
missions under the CRS to contracts with 14 missions
48:12
Northrop three missions. Sierra Nevada, Corporation.
48:16
Now, see our space and 15 missions to Space X.
48:20
So SpaceX has the most but not by much only by one.
48:24
So good for SpaceX good for them.
48:28
