Transcript
- 0:04Hi everybody and welcome back to the space news pad.
- 0:06This is a show about SpaceX NASA and space flight.
- 0:09I'm your host while Walden and in this episode we're gonna be
- 0:11talking about SN 20 ship 20. We're going to be talking about
- 0:14booster for we're going to be talking about the Starship
- 0:17launch site at Boca Chica Starbase Texas.
- 0:19We're also going to be talking about a little bit more space, X
- 0:22news, but there's some big stuff on the horizon for ship 20 and
- 0:27booster for and we have some evidence.
- 0:30Dance to back that up. Now I want to show you this real
- 0:32quick, so we know what's going to be happening in the next few
- 0:36days here at Starbase. I'm in Brownsville Texas.
- 0:39I'm about 20 minutes away from Starbase.
- 0:41I go down there almost every day, but let me show you this.
- 0:44The road closure for yesterday March, second Wednesday was
- 0:48canceled. Okay, so we know that's a thing
- 0:51that didn't happen, the secondary date today, March 3rd
- 0:552022, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. cancel, not canceled.
- 0:59Sorry the Still scheduled that was reading that Friday.
- 1:03Close your scheduled from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and they do the
- 1:07closure really early that day so people can enjoy the beach for
- 1:11the weekend. People were complaining about
- 1:13this. I've seen people in person, talk
- 1:16about this and complain about it, so I understand why they do
- 1:18it really early, till 4:00 in the afternoon, then Monday,
- 1:21Tuesday, and Wednesday, of next week, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.,
- 1:24okay? So, we know that they have some
- 1:26road closures, scheduled and their long road closures there
- 1:28all day and almost All night, it's a 12-hour road closure
- 1:32happening. So we know that there's going to
- 1:35be some stuff happening a Starbase.
- 1:37Okay. So there was a cryogenic test of
- 1:41booster for the other day and, you know, we have to think about
- 1:47some things that are happening booster for need to do the
- 1:50cryogenic test. But also with booster Force cryo
- 1:53test, the also cryogenically filled the methane tanks for the
- 1:58booster and That's a really big deal for Starship and Starbase
- 2:03and for booster for and the orbital launch integration Tower
- 2:07and all the tanks, okay? So they did the cryogenic test
- 2:10but also one thing that they did the other night, one thing that
- 2:12they did there was kind of a kind of shows What's going to be
- 2:15happening in the future, possibly they moved the lift
- 2:19arms. The Chopsticks, the show is
- 2:20brought to you by backblaze. I use back place to back up my
- 2:24podcast. My video files, all of my

- 4:30Elan. From their full height.
- 4:33All the way down to where they would attach to ship 20s N20.
- 4:40Now this is an is an important thing, right?
- 4:43So we have to get ship 22 those arms and I think this is what's
- 4:47going to be happening in the next few days.
- 4:48And I want you all to let me know what you think is going to
- 4:51be happening in the next few days to the next week.
- 4:53Okay? So they also had other than that
- 4:56cryo test and that's a huge deal of crowd test for that.
- 4:58It was totally successful looked great.
- 5:01Now, Were three things that happened over the last few days
- 5:06that were super important for a possible, huge deal for
- 5:11Starship. Again, this may be happening in
- 5:13the next week or so. So Starship is moved with these
- 5:17things called spmts. And I want to show you one,
- 5:21spmt, kind of looks like one of these things that's a trailer,
- 5:25right? So, you can put these things
- 5:26together like they're like Lego, you can snap them together.
- 5:30And somebody's behind it, working a working, a remote,
- 5:33basically and driving these things.
- 5:35And they're huge in their long in the really, really slow.
- 5:41What do you do with those things?
- 5:42You put a ship on them, you put a ship, you put something heavy
- 5:45but something big on them. Ship 20 can move on the spmts,
- 5:52right? And they added some weights as
- 5:54well to these spmts because ships are heavy.
- 5:57So spmt, has 12 weights on it and they moved to the launch
- 6:03site 13 hours ago from from now and it's 11:00 on 33 2022.
- 6:10Possibly to move the ship towards the Chopsticks.
- 6:14Okay, so Starbase deliveries on Twitter, had that information
- 6:18and they they side on lap Padre stream and they posted up and I
- 6:21was like, what is this? Okay, so now I knew this
- 6:24happened but I was kind of waiting for some more
- 6:26information to come in before kind of show you guys what's
- 6:30going on. So they had two more spmts going
- 6:34to the launch site. So now there's three at the
- 6:36launch site. So We have to spmts that moved
- 6:43and now we have three that moved.
- 6:45So, what's going to be happening at the launch site?
- 6:48So there's two things that could be happening, right?
- 6:52And I want you to tell me, I want to have a discussion in the
- 6:55comments below about what you think is going to happen.
- 6:57There's two things that I think could happen here they're going
- 6:59to be moving ship 20 closer to the Chopsticks and when they get
- 7:04a closer to the Chopsticks they will reattach ship 22 the
- 7:07Chopsticks and they will lift. Lift ship, 20 on top of booster
- 7:11for, and they're going to attach ship 22, booster for and the
- 7:17going to do a full cryogenic test article to ship 20 booster
- 7:22for in the orbital launch integration Tower and Stage 0 of
- 7:28Starship. So also, you know, we have to do
- 7:31the crowd genetically, Kuro genic filling of booster for
- 7:36again. So a methane Filling would be
- 7:40another great step forward so they may be doing that first
- 7:42again they maybe do another test then or they may be stacking
- 7:45ship 20 on top of booster for. So let me know in the comments
- 7:48if you think that's going to be a thing.
- 7:50Also, this is another thing that may be a little bit
- 7:53controversial for some people What if there were like?
- 7:57Oh okay, we're not going to use ship 20.
- 8:00We're not going to use booster for.
- 8:03So these spmts, these giant rigs they could be moving ship, 20
- 8:10away from the launch pad could be moving it to the Rocket
- 8:15Garden and booster for they may be doing the same thing they
- 8:19don't really have. Some people are saying they
- 8:22don't really have a reason to keep ship 20 and booster for
- 8:25around because They have better technology in newer Rockets,
- 8:29right Ilan is set so many times he wants ship 420 full-stack to
- 8:35launch for the orbital flight test.
- 8:37Now, by the end of this month, the FAA will have made our by
- 8:42March. I should say by the end of
- 8:43March. Yeah they should have a
- 8:48recommendation if SpaceX can fly ship 20 and booster for for the
- 8:54orbital flight test. Now if they can then shift 20
- 8:58and for ship 20 and booster for possibly could fly or great turn
- 9:05of events here, they could put a better ship in a better booster
- 9:09down there and start testing those things out instead because
- 9:12they have a month to do, all this stuff in these could be a
- 9:15Pathfinder shift, 20 and booster for could be a Pathfinder for a
- 9:19newer ship, and a newer booster, because we do have those in
- 9:24this. Rocket Garden here.
- 9:28So we have plenty of rockets. We have plenty and we have one
- 9:31booster, right? So ship 15 and 16, not going to
- 9:36fly booster fives down there, possibly fly and ship 20 Franken
- 9:42ship. I'll just call it is down there
- 9:44and that's it's possible that will fly.
- 9:45So just take a look at this stuff.
- 9:48Take a look at the this evidence.
- 9:50Let me know what you think. I'm guessing a full stack with
- 9:53cryogenic test Possible, full with S, you know, get close to
- 9:57that. But more than likely full
- 10:00cryogenic test of ship, 20 stacked on top of booster for in
- 10:05the next week. So let me know what you think.
- 10:07In the comments have a conversation.
- 10:08I want to know what you what, you know, the maybe I missed
- 10:12because I think that would be it's great to learn basically is
- 10:15what I'm saying. So thanks everybody for
- 10:16watching. I appreciate your time and make
- 10:19sure to sub and make sure to check out Starship shirts.com.
- 10:23That's our new merch store with everything Starship.
- 10:25In it. So thanks guys.
- 10:28Bye.
