  Hey everybody. Welcome back to the space news
• 0:08
  pod. This is a show about SpaceX NASA
• 0:10
  and space flight. I'm your host will Walden.
• 0:12
  And in this episode we're going to be talking about the latest
• 0:15
  Falcon 9 launch which just happened on Sunday.
• 0:19
  We're going to be talking about stir base.
• 0:21
  We're going to be talking about some disgruntled employees at
• 0:25
  SpaceX to. But first, I gotta just say,
• 0:30
  Thank you. It's been a long, long time
• 0:33
  coming. And I've been doing this channel
• 0:36
  for about two and a half years and in less than a week, I'll be
• 0:42
  headed out on the highway on my way to Starbase to Brownsville
• 0:48
  Texas where I'm going to start a new life and I could not have
• 0:52
  done it without you. So thank you so much.
• 0:55
  The GoFundMe is still going. If you want to help out with
• 0:58
  expenses. We have all the camera gear,
• 1:01
  that we need gas money, hotels on the way down.
• 1:05
  It's going to be a five-day trip.
• 1:07
  It's a 2,000 mile trip. 2,000 mile plus trip 29 to 30 hours
• 1:12
  somewhere along that lines that's without stops.
• 1:15
  So it's going to be a five-day trip.
• 1:16
  Long, long time. I can't do it full time.
• 1:18
  I can't do it, like straight through, because that's just too
• 1:22
  much for me. So, taking my time doing it for,
• 1:24
  like five days, if you want to help out links are up here and
• 1:28
  down in the description below. So, thank you so much for
• 1:31
  everything that you've done this far.
• 1:34
  Also, if you want to leave a comment down below, that would
• 1:37
  really help to and also give this video a thumbs up on our
• 1:41
  first. Let's take a look at the
• 1:45
  Starbase road closures and kind of do a little bit of, you know,
• 1:50
  let's let's guess. Let's take a guess.
• 1:53
  What's going on here? Road closures for August 31st, I
• 1:56
  believe that's Tuesday. Yeah, Tuesday is the 31st and
• 2:01
  that's from 8 a.m. till noon p.m.
• 2:04
  CST intermittent closures schedule Boca Chica will remain
• 2:08
  open. So, with that alone, we know
• 2:11
  there's going to be no static fires if the beach is open 0,
• 2:15
  static fires are going to be happening.
• 2:17
  So we know that's not going to happen.
• 2:19
  Could be some sort of movement, they could be moving things
• 2:22
  around. Could be moving, more GSE tank
• 2:25
  stuff that could be another. Maybe there's going to be
• 2:27
  another little happy. Come on over there.
• 2:29
  We're not sure. Not sure exactly what's going to
• 2:31
  happen. More GSE tank stuff, probably
• 2:34
  possibly moving, you know, moving booster stuff around.
• 2:39
  So we'll see, we'll see moving some Raptors in and out to
• 2:42
  that's a possibility. So we'll see you on Tuesday,
• 2:45
  what they do and I'll be here to report that and tell you what's
• 2:47
  going on. And in about, in about two
• 2:52
  weeks, I'll be down there to film it.
• 2:53
  So I'll be down there in a week, but it gives I got to have a
• 2:56
  little bit of time to get settled and get everything
• 2:58
  ready. So in a couple weeks, I'll be
• 3:00
  down there filming everything so that's going to be.
• 3:03
  That's so cool. Like that is literally the
• 3:05
  coolest thing that will ever happen in my life.
• 3:08
  Like, I've done some really cool stuff, some really crazy stuff
• 3:11
  but this is this is the best like I've ever done in my life
• 3:16
  and I'm going to I'm going to do a humble brag here.
• 3:18
  I've skated with Tony Hawk, right?
• 3:20
  And I was like skating at his ramp with Tony Hawk as a guest.
• 3:25
  Like hit. It was cool.
• 3:27
  It was awesome. And And it was amazing, but this
• 3:32
  takes the cake. Okay.
• 3:33
  So SpaceX Starship, this is the best thing ever, seriously.
• 3:39
  So again, thank you. Now, let's take a look at what
• 3:43
  just happened like today this happened at this morning,
• 3:45

• 3:49

• 3:51

  Look at that. That is a so loot.

  Lee, beautiful. And here we go.
• 6:59
  This is the third shot. This is when the Dragon capsule
• 7:04
  separates and heads to the International Space Station.
• 7:10
  How like, how cool is it? That we get these shots to?
• 7:13
  Like I'm just going to say this straight up, think this is
• 7:16
  probably one of the coolest things about SpaceX is that they
• 7:20
  put cameras everywhere like it's not about, you know it, well, it
• 7:25
  is, it is about the stuff that they do, you know, like the
• 7:28
  actual science that they do in the engineering that they do is
• 7:30
  absolutely phenomenal. But the fact that they thought
• 7:34
  about everybody else and they thought about how cool it would
• 7:36
  be to put cameras here. Here.
• 7:39
  So we could see this. Like that's just insane.
• 7:45
  And I want to let you know about one more thing SpaceX employees
• 7:49
  at Starbase are kind of mad. And the reason why they're mad
• 7:54
  has nothing to do with SpaceX, has nothing to do with Elon Musk
• 7:57
  and it's more to do with the locals, right?
• 8:01
  So the locals, they drive down highway four and they go to the
• 8:05
  beach, right? This is reported by Valley
• 8:08
  Central for now. Local 23.
• 8:11
  This is the This is the thing that we're talking about here,
• 8:17
  people are getting mad because there's reckless driving at
• 8:20
  Starbase. People are driving down highway
• 8:23
  for, right next to Starbase where SpaceX employees are doing
• 8:28
  the work, and they're going super fast and Reckless
• 8:32
  dangerous. So there's been a few employees
• 8:34
  a SpaceX employee. This is the first headline right
• 8:37
  here. This is, I'm going to link this
• 8:39
  in the in the description. Let's basics.
• 8:42
  Employee contract contacted Valley Central to speak out
• 8:45
  about dangerous driving conditions, he encounters during
• 8:47
  his commute to work. It's going to work.
• 8:50
  People are going crazy on the roads going super fast than the
• 8:53
  employee wish to stay Anonymous, but sent us an email detailing.
• 8:56
  The reckless driving, did it feels putting his in other
• 9:00
  drivers lives at risk on State, Highway for the, get a rank of
• 9:04
  this in Highway for known. As Boca Chica Boulevard is a
• 9:06
  cell southernmost, State Highway in the u.s. runs east to west
• 9:10
  through Brownsville feeding out. To camera County jurisdiction,
• 9:14
  okay? So before you arrived a SpaceX,
• 9:16
  the often desolate, 19 Mile, Stretch outside Brownsville City
• 9:21
  Limits was previously known and used by beachgoers fishermen in
• 9:24
  those hoping to live a quiet life surrounded by Nature.
• 9:27
  So people that just want to like hang out, have some fun.
• 9:31
  Enjoy their lives used to use Highway for as a way to escape
• 9:35
  modern society. It looks like it looks like
• 9:37
  there were just go there and fish and hang out and you know,
• 9:40
  do fun stuff. The anonymous employee that we
• 9:44
  will refer to as Greg. It's a driving conditions out on
• 9:47
  Highway for were concerning even before the surge of employees
• 9:51
  that arrived recently to help build the intimacy, anticipated
• 9:54
  orbital Starship. Now it is simply dangerous.
• 9:58
  So it's getting dangerous down there on Highway for this.
• 10:03
  Greg person unnamed Greg says, estimated between 90 to 100
• 10:07
  miles per hour to pass several cars narrowly, avoid avoiding
• 10:13
  head-on collisions and we'll even do.
• 10:15
  So blindly through curves on the highway.
• 10:17
  So, if you're driving on Highway, for man, if you're
• 10:20
  driving anywhere, don't do this. You're a jerk.
• 10:23
  Do not do this. Your drive 90 to 100 miles an
• 10:26
  hour. What you got like, why you On
• 10:28
  that fast. I know it's fun.
• 10:30
  It's super fun but you're putting other people's lives in
• 10:32
  danger yourself and your passengers in danger.
• 10:35
  So, do not do this, especially if you're passing people around
• 10:38
  curves, like, that's super stupid.
• 10:40
  Some of the worst offenders. Greg said our trucks that battle
• 10:43
  for the front position in the Caravan of cars and will speed
• 10:45
  up when they see others trying to pass.
• 10:47
  He said, he also observed the step of behavior around.
• 10:51
  The dangerous curves where speed is meant to be reduced for
• 10:54
  driver's safety. Let me know in the comments what
• 10:58
  you think about About this. I think it's super stupid but
• 11:01
  let me know in the comments what you think?
• 11:03
  And that's pretty much all I got for today guys.
• 11:07
  That's pretty much it. But again, thank you from the
• 11:09
  bottom of my heart. Thank you so much for everything
• 11:12
  you've done for me and like I said, links to Valley Central.
• 11:16
  Everything here is in the description below and have a
• 11:19
  great day. Bye, bye.
