SpaceX Starbase, NASA SLS Updates, ISS, China Rockets Special Guest Zac from The Launch Pad · Elon Musk Podcast

0:00
That's usually how I started and I'm gonna go.
0:03
Hey everybody welcome back to the space pod today.
0:06
We have Zach from the Launchpad joining us and over here we have
0:10
Neil I got the sides right this time and we're going to be
0:13
talking about all sorts of fun space stuff today.
0:16
But first, we want to talk to Zack a little bit about his
0:20
channel. What he does over there and give
0:22
a little shout out. You can see the launch pad on
0:25
YouTube, youtube.com slash the launch pad right?
0:28
Is that right? Zach.
0:30
That is right. Okay.
0:31
Cool. Got it right somehow.
0:33
We got that address. It works.
0:36
Yeah. That's a good one man.
0:37
You got you got lucky on that one.
0:40
Yeah, it's great. Yeah.
0:41
So so on your channel I know you do I know you do live, launches
0:46
you do SpaceX stuff. What other what other kind of
0:49
content? Do you provide people out there?
0:53
Yes we're trying to do something a little bit different where
0:56
we're trying to sit down with some of the you know, like Jared
1:00
Isaac men's the the Torre Bruno's of the world but also
1:03
some of these smaller space companies that people don't
1:05
know. There's so much happening in
1:07
space right now that isn't getting the attention SpaceX and
1:10
Starship kind of takes 95% of it, but there's a lot of other
1:13
stuff that is going to end up helping equip them in the
1:16
future. So trying to give a shine on
1:18
that but then also getting to know the other people that are
1:21
in the industry like yourself Everyday astronaut Cosmic
1:24
perspectives of the work, they're doing because they're
1:26
really helping bring this to everybody.
1:29
There's so much to try to keep track of it's hard to do it.
1:33
If you're not kind of plugged in everywhere, for sure for sure.
1:37
Yeah, definitely did you. When did you start up Zach?
1:40
January 1st. And I don't know why, but I was
1:43
like having a New Year. We're gonna, let's start on the
1:46
first. Did a couple tests streams of
1:48
Kerbal before that over the holidays and January 1st?
1:51
The first video when It up. And it's been a whirlwind since
1:54
that's awesome. Any fat.
1:56
You've had some success, you've had a couple of videos.
1:58
Go viral, right? Yeah.
2:00
A couple Starship ones did really well for one was over a
2:03
quarter million which was like, wow.
2:05
Okay, might be doing something right.
2:07
Let's figure this out and yep. Okay, I think the family took it
2:10
a little more seriously at that point to that, like, oh he's not
2:14
just talking to his computer in his basement.
2:18
That's awesome. That's yeah, that's really cool.
2:21
I'm a part of your discordant has Growing steadily which is
2:23
pretty awesome to see. Yeah, it's a fun place.
2:26
I'm amazed at how spread out everyone is.
2:28
It's not just you know, California the u.s. it's all
2:31
over the world and all ages too. Which is really neat.
2:34
Yeah, I guess that's, that's part of the beauty of the space
2:38
Community, is that everybody's involved.
2:41
Everybody has some level of knowledge, and everybody is
2:43
willing to help out other people who don't have the same level,
2:46
so it's great. Absolutely.
2:48
It's been amazing, even just connecting with you.
2:50
Well, at the beginning, like you gave some tips on and stuff and
2:53
still have and that's been super helpful.
2:55
And I've been amazed how open the community has been to new
2:58
people coming in and encouraging that you know, most Industries
3:01
like no stay away. This is our thing.
3:02
But there's been quite a good. Welcome with lights will go off
3:07
whatever you say something. Awesome.
3:09
Just so yeah. But really like I've noticed in
3:17
our community like in the, you know, in the space community
3:20
that people are super helpful. In there nice and they don't
3:24
have to be, that's the other thing they choose to be nice.
3:27
There are like, there's competition going on, like,
3:29
people want the views, you know, all that stuff.
3:31
If you're a YouTuber, if your podcast or you want the, you
3:35
know, want people to listen to it.
3:36
But also, like people are just nice like, like people that are
3:40
on YouTube that are YouTubers that are doing this stuff,
3:43
they're just nice to each other, you know, I've never met anybody
3:46
that's been like super rude to me or anything like that or talk
3:49
down to people or you know, it's just good people all around.
3:52
Around as far as I know now yeah certainly there's competition at
3:56
the larger scale, right? That the larger Channel
3:59
certainly have a little bit of competition here and there.
4:01
But for all this smaller ones, everybody seems to Revel in
4:06
everybody success, which is great.
4:08
Yeah, growing together, rather than be separate from each
4:10
other. Yeah.
4:11
It's the beauty of YouTube, right?
4:12
You don't have to, you can go to five or six or seven different
4:17
people to get your news. You don't have to get it all
4:19
from one place and that's what that's the beauty of YouTube.
4:22
You don't, there's no really no competition, it's just another
4:24
channel to watch can actually get accurate news.
4:28
Yeah. Yeah.
4:30
You know, and I little side note, I was traveling yesterday
4:33
and I was like, I was like an hour away from my house.
4:36
A little bit north of here and like talking about the community
4:40
I stopped at a gas station pumping gas in my car.
4:43
This guy next to me said, hey and I was like, I was like, I
4:49
looked around. I was like me, I was like me and
4:52
the guys Like yeah you and I was like, what?
4:54
Like I was like oh hey, what's up?
4:56
And he's like how you doing? And I was like doing pretty
4:59
good. Like it's a really weird thing
5:00
to happen to the gas station around here.
5:02
First time this guy's left his house since the pandemic started
5:05
Lydia literally he literally said that to he's like this is
5:08
the first time I've been on the road, he's from Florida, right?
5:10
So he's from Florida and he said that he has been doing like a
5:14
Northeast tour. He had a camper and he said he
5:19
he lives in Zephyrhills and he's seen like Hundreds of launches
5:23
because I said I was just down in Florida to watch the crew to
5:26
launch. He's like, I've seen hundreds of
5:27
launches man, he's like, I love that stuff and then we started
5:30
talking about Starship. Like, I was like, have you seen
5:33
Starship and Texas? And he's like, yeah.
5:35
We want to go there like, sometime this summer.
5:37
So we were freaking out together about space stuff, and like the
5:40
community, like just some Rando, like, out of the millions of
5:43
people that like, this random guy to gas station, that was
5:46
like, Hey, you and I just had like, a black T-shirt on like
5:48
the guy who didn't have any idea, you know, that sound.
5:52
Yeah, it was crazy. That like just every dip it has
5:55
div like nice person. We I gave my email address.
6:00
I was like, hey man, if you ever go to launches, I'll let you
6:03
know when I'm coming down and we exchanged email addresses.
6:05
So we're going to like, we're going to hang out.
6:08
That's so that's pretty cool. Coming of thing that people want
6:11
to say, they're doing Italy either following spacer in
6:14
Aerospace. Now, there was such a time like
6:16
after the shuttle that was kind of like, yeah, are you crazy?
6:19
Are you going back to stat? There's you're not going to
6:21
space right now, but It's people actually want to say.
6:24
Yeah I'm part of this, I'm working on something that's for
6:26
a station or for a base or something.
6:28
So for sure, yes it's the stigma of it.
6:32
Just being a nerdy thing is gone because nerds are okay.
6:34
Now yeah there's from the world. So he'll on set the bar so high
6:40
that the rest of us seem normal. Yeah, that level is off the
6:44
charts. Yeah.
6:45
Especially if you have to watch FD watches SNL appearance, then
6:48
you can kind of be like, all right I'm okay.
6:52
That was a night. That was fun.
6:54
That was fun. Now, speaking of fun, the
6:57
International Space Station and tied our second.
7:02
Oh my goodness. Yeah what a fun tied.
7:07
Remember whatever kind of eight Tide Pods for a little bit there
7:10
well that wasn't fun but having the tide in the space station as
7:15
a pretty cool thing. We found a sudden Gadget.
7:19
Yeah they even have a mission patch like that.
7:21
See ya. Cool.
7:22
Is that the tide has a mission patch for an ISS.
7:25
Like that's pretty sweet. So basically you basically wear
7:32
your clothes for really long time, the space station and they
7:35
probably get stinky. You have to switch your clothes
7:38
out, eventually you can't really wash them.
7:40
So Procter & Gamble is working with NASA and they're going to
7:44
make a laundry detergent. That's meant to be used in space
7:49
and this is going to happen. What 2022, they're sending this
7:51
up. It's been a said yeah I think
7:54
yeah, me. So yeah, it'll be part of the
7:57
it'll be part of the main water supply chain on the ISS.
8:01
So this has to be really, really safe for humans to to but
8:05
potentially drink even not that they won't filter it out and
8:08
whatnot. But it's it's going to have to
8:10
be really environmentally friendly.
8:14
So this is this is kind of what like space down to earth, you
8:17
know, they'll use this stuff I'm in space and they'll use this
8:20
technology and bring it back down to earth.
8:22
So tied can become more environmentally friendly and
8:27
tight. If you're watching this, I need
8:29
some laundry detergent. So please send me like a huge
8:32
box of laundry detergent. I love your laundry detergent,
8:35
thank you, but sponsored by tied that really, but we thought it
8:41
was a cool story. Close close by By tight.
8:46
Yeah, it's pretty cool. And you know what, there's lots
8:48
of they have clothes that they do where become space junk must
8:52
be a stronger burns up in the atmosphere, but they have to
8:55
throw them away. So they constantly taking up new
8:57
clothes to the ISS which obviously, cost money to send it
9:01
up there. It's also not very environmental
9:04
if you will. So see, I was curious about that
9:07
also because we know most of the clothes they throw away
9:10
inspiration for just posted a photo that there.
9:13
Are using like previously flown suits for training but also like
9:17
Comfort garments. So my question is, how long did
9:20
those crew? One Comfort garments just sit
9:23
and maybe faster before they were brought to be?
9:26
Yeah, the next crew training so that garments Yeah yeah yeah I
9:38
noticed one of the can't remember her name but this sort
9:41
of smallest astronaut and inspiration for barely fit.
9:46
Inside that suit she was wearing not look, custom-fit down here.
9:52
Her face looked half the size of the helmet.
9:55
Yeah, maybe we need to resize is some point.
9:58
Yeah, they have to do another custom fit and wonder if they
10:00
have it all, you know, one-size-fits-all helmets or
10:03
whether they actually resize the helmets as well to fit.
10:06
I think they're 3D printed aren't they?
10:08
Yeah, the 3D printed per semester and I believe they get
10:12
their custom suits a lot closer to the launch that way.
10:14
Like if you eat a lot during training its opposite way around
10:22
the probably working out more, the show is brought to you by
10:24
backblaze, I use back place to back up my podcast.
10:27
My video files, all of my writing stuff at all, my photos,
10:31
and you get unlimited computer backup for Macs and PCs for just
10:35
$7 a month. Month, you can backup your own
10:37
documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
10:41
data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
10:44
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
10:47
to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
10:51
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
10:53
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
10:56
to your door. I could come to your business to
10:58
and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
11:02
hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
11:05
and get Full refund. So basically they ship you this
11:08
hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
11:11
it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
11:15
You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
11:18
teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
11:21
accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
11:24
can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
11:27
it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
11:31
So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
11:33
you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up.

before lunch? Yeah, it's like every married
12:39
you want. Make sure that you're here at
12:41
the right weight that you let yourself go.
12:43
And then after that, this and then you can let yourself go
12:45
once you went running and hopefully, you can fit in your
12:48
suit on the way home, but I guess, you don't get to keep
12:50
your suit, though, which is something.
12:52
I think a lot of people are wondering is if they're wearing
12:54
crew ones previously flown suits.
12:57
I mean, if you're buying it at 200 million dollar ride, can I
13:01
keep my space suit or at least? Yeah, long underwear.
13:04
Yeah, we keep something. Some sort of government that
13:08
would make sense. I mean, that's something that
13:10
you'll like kind of keep with you forever.
13:12
Like, I went to, I went to space, you know.
13:15
Yes. Why can't I display this cool
13:16
space suit? Yeah, I need to get one of those
13:19
for the studio. Hello felt fit.
13:22
Maybe, maybe I'll just wear it. That's where it'll fit on me.
13:26
Yeah, man, exactly. Don't you have a helmet?
13:29
Do you have a? Yeah, Starman helmet.
13:31
We should see. We should see that on you right
13:33
now. I think want me to grab it?
13:35
Yeah, I think so. Is it can grab it?
13:37
Okay. Yeah, that's pretty sweet, dude.
13:40
No, yeah, that's so I just wear it dude.
13:49
That's pretty sweet. Did you dig find that on?
13:55
What? That's pretty amazing, dude.
13:57
Maybe in a contest actually during inspiration.
14:00
For I know wasn't from inspiration.
14:04
That's awesome. Dude, there you go.
14:07
That is that's amazing. Dude.
14:19
I want It's so cool though. Yeah that's neat though.
14:25
It? What a great thing to win.
14:26
That's yeah, totally, that's really people at the border.
14:29
We're probably like, what is this guy getting?
14:31
He's got a model rocket sent to them.
14:33
Now he's getting helmets. Is going off to space.
14:38
Yeah, he's he's done. Neil loves this rocket so much
14:48
so much. Actually, I love this song.
14:50
Use this thing hasn't changed since the 60s maybe 50s.
14:55
It's a beautiful beautiful rocket and the only thing they
14:58
changed the color pattern that's it.
15:01
So, yeah. But look, I just think it's
15:02
beautiful. That's a Marvel of engine, and
15:03
it works so good. It's so consistent, very
15:07
consistent, and MZ is going up in a soyuz, right?
15:12
It is, he's going to be testing his, his space chops at the ISS,
15:17
pretty soon. So look at this is from Russ
15:21
roscosmos 360 on Twitter. That's just amazing.
15:28
I think is my favorite color as well as Nations rocket that need
15:33
color. Yeah, they need to look cool
15:35
man. They need to look cool.
15:42
I think the red one for Thai big logo on the bearing or
15:46
something. Yeah, maybe And then taiking
15:50
once it once, the booster lands, they can clean it with tight as
15:54
well. You're tired.
15:56
If you're watching, I'll take 1% of that idea.
16:00
Zack wants of Falcon. 9 is what we're saying just one the
16:04
backyard. I thought I meant a real Falcon
16:09
9. Yeah, I meant a real grid Finn.
16:14
Oh, a real good friend. Okay, just a man, that'd be
16:18
pretty sick. Seen somebody made a coffee
16:20
table out of one of them. Yeah, I saw that too.
16:22
Pretty good. It's pretty good size before by
16:24
5 feet. Right?
16:25
Something like that. All right.
16:27
Have a good prank. Gonna need a bigger Studio.
16:30
Yeah. Yeah that's a hanger for sure.
16:38
It's speaking of Falcon, 9's. Speaking of Starships Supply guy
16:43
could transition starlink is at Starbase now.
16:49
So this is from Starship, gazer SpaceX darling, said like
16:52
internet, ground station dish has arrived today and Starbase.
16:57
So, apparently, they're gonna be using a lot of starlink for
17:01
Starbase activities in the future.
17:03
Yeah, these are really behind go to the fourth picture.
17:07
It shows that the base of these is is basically six feet wide by
17:11
six feet wide. So these are Big.
17:14
Yeah, that's big. 72 inches by 72 inches by six, right?
17:19
Yeah, just for just for the pad back.
17:22
If we go back here, couple, there we go.
17:25
So a person basically is lying down on the ground there, the
17:30
probably almost 10 feet high. Yeah, that's big, big big well
17:36
inside. This would be basically a dish
17:38
that's on a gimbal, right? So we can find these things to
17:41
be the same thing that we're behind you then.
17:43
Well at that fence place. Then I'm assuming.
17:46
Yeah, we'll didn't have to travel for two hours to see if
17:49
it's I could have go to just sat on Twitter and waited.
17:52
Yeah. Today there's so many there.
17:55
So the other thing is like I wanted that as like a
17:57
precautionary tale for people. Like don't go to these things,
18:00
man, like it's cool in the Awesome.
18:03
And I love it but also there's no reason to go to these things
18:06
like you don't need to see. This is a big, white fence, you
18:08
know. And I don't want to be lunch.
18:09
They want people that want people.
18:11
These are unmanned areas. They don't want security, all
18:14
their world time. They don't want you doing these
18:16
things. Yeah.
18:16
Somebody in the comments said why don't you get a ladder or
18:20
like sand in your car or something?
18:21
And I'm like because that's really weird like because I want
18:26
to start with this one day. Yeah.
18:27
Because I don't want to be like I don't want to be arrested you
18:30
know? Like that's weird like if I can
18:32
I've drove by and I'm like standing on a ladder, taking a
18:35
picture into this for like into a facility like this.
18:39
That's really sketchy like what am I doing there?
18:42
And then I have to answer all these questions and I you know,
18:44
that would be a whole other YouTube video so I wasn't I'm
18:49
not willing to do that. So I just want to go there and
18:51
see what it was like because it sure you have to drive.
18:54
So, yeah, it was a nice day. It was a great day.
18:57
It's a great, great driving day. But yeah, this is these things
19:00
are big and say in the next little while.
19:03
If you live in the Brownsville area you will get excellent
19:06
starlink transmission. Yeah.
19:08
Right? Yeah.
19:10
We should have a decent amount of star like and I grounds but
19:13
yeah if if I can get starlink want to go down there for some
19:18
Starship activity, that'd be amazing.
19:21
So I hope they hope they boosted up boost up that signal by the
19:25
time I get there and bi 3D underscore eccentric on Twitter.
19:31
Of course with the amazing. Thing.
19:32
Renders always have the latest and greatest from from Boca
19:39
Chica and Starbase. They were raised new array of
19:44
objects near the satellite tracking station.
19:46
I believe that as a sterling gateway to ensure high and
19:48
secured data, transmission during missions.
19:52
Yeah, these things are big he's a really big but yeah, they
19:57
don't start link. They needed a Gateway down there
20:00
somewhere. So might as well put it right
20:02
beside the yep where they were. They going to need it so why
20:05
not? Yeah, may as well and this is
20:07
kind of a scale you know. The the star man this is The
20:11
bigger. And there's a, what's that truck
20:15
called cyber truck? What's that?
20:17
Cyber truck called yesterday's news, really?
20:21
Yeah. Yesterday's news.
20:22
No big deal. Yes.
20:24
The pretty cool but this is with the inside my heroic.
20:27
Yeah. He's just guessing, of course,
20:29
but yeah, that's sort of sort of similar to that.
20:32
And we also have some startling. Yeah.
20:36
That's, it's going to be cool. If, you know, if I signed up and
20:39
I have starlink down there. But there's also a hoist at the
20:44
base of the integration Tower. We cover this the other day
20:47
which you know you toy 3D renderings but now it's there.
20:53
It's a it's an actual thing. Yeah.
20:56
And this will be hoisting something.
20:58
Probably some part of Starship I'm assuming.
21:01
Yeah, this would probably be the main choice for the crane is
21:04
going to be the top. So this will be lifting up the
21:06
boosters and the starships and put them on top of each other.
21:09
Yeah, I would guess. I don't know whether reason
21:11
through have Yeah, definitely. Really Gonna surprise us
21:15
heavy-duty elevator Angeles for a lot of people.
21:21
I'm surprised Us in the outside though.
21:22
I thought this would be all integrated in the inside.
21:25
Yeah, I don't know why it is on the outside.
21:29
Yeah, it's probably just easier, you know, this is still a build
21:32
site. This is still, you know,
21:34
production and iterations and just get it done and get it done
21:38
fast. So it's probably just easier to
21:40
throw it in the outside of the building.
21:41
With yeah. And they'll, they're not trying
21:43
to make it look pretty. Yeah, they have they'll have
21:46
tons of iterations of these things going forward to like
21:48
that. Like you said, this is like the
21:50
first one, literally, first one. So let's get it done.
21:53
Just, you know, make it work and, you know, wrestled asshole.
21:58
Once I get fully operational though, they won't be actually
22:00
launching from Starbase. Well, they, I know they have no
22:03
powers planned, but isn't that the ocean platforms?
22:07
I think the ocean platforms and other coasts around the world.
22:12
Florida certainly they'll probably launch from there.
22:14
The problem with Brownsville is or Boca Chica or Starbase, is
22:18
that it's it's a good place is beside the gulf so if there are
22:22
any issues they can do that but there's a very narrow window
22:26
that they can watch orbital. So it's great for testing
22:30
orbital because you can just you who cares, what direction you
22:32
go. But really between Florida and
22:34
Cuba is there's a very narrow window that you can sort of fly
22:39
through. So you can't you can't do any
22:42
orbits that will get you to the space station or north-south
22:46
orbits or anything like that. So it's it's not a great spot to
22:50
send missions from but it's a great spot to test things.
22:53
So yeah yeah these are these are the sad thing is that this Tower
22:58
might be used, you know it doesn't times and maybe done
23:03
yeah you know be good to our sets Nation.
23:06
Yeah. Oh yeah I think that's what
23:08
Starbase is going to turn into. I think star basil will turn
23:11
into this super awesome tourist destination for everything
23:15
SpaceX. Yeah the gun, the gun range that
23:21
they just bought a SpaceX just bought.
23:23
I thought about that with the tourism thing because he lied
23:27
wants to make this like up huge deal with as far as you know,
23:32
National coverage or whatever. Why don't they make that into a
23:35
viewing area? For launches because it's it's
23:39
you know it's the closest place you can pretty much get sell
23:43
tickets like they do at the cape you know certain places you know
23:47
admission? Yeah.
23:48
I think the south of South Padre Island would be closer but they
23:52
don't own that, right? They don't know that rights just
23:54
this is just about the only thing for sure.
23:57
Yeah. Instead of making a raptor
23:59
facility. I mean, who needs that?
24:00
Who needs a raptor facility, I just want to see a launch.
24:03
Nobody eats a rapid ability, right?
24:05
Good, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the bleachers on the side of
24:09
that building could be for the wash area.
24:11
So yeah, absolutely true. Yeah, considered up like the
24:15
Tillamook. I think it is cheese factory in
24:17
Oregon. You can walk through the
24:19
operational Cheese Factory without actually like
24:21
interfering. You just like are walking on
24:24
like, skyways with glass windows.
24:26
I can see that. Yeah, that too.
24:29
And I'd be she's Factory spaceship factories.
24:31
The same thing really example, the fuel Don't do that.
24:58
Look at this David Willis. Speaking of aeschylus?
25:01
Yes. Good athletic.
25:02
That's the best transition at the whole show.
25:05
I'm sure. So David, Willis Moon rocket
25:09
Rises, and there's a couple couple responses down there that
25:14
I don't want to get into. Yeah, this thing is it's coming
25:19
along man. We may actually see a launch of
25:22
this thing this year by the end it seems like all the pieces are
25:26
in place or being put into place and there's nothing to stop him.
25:30
Yeah that would be pretty cool. Yeah.
25:33
But what's left after this the capsule and stuff.
25:36
Cough after the adapter. There's not much action left.
25:39
I'm getting there. Yeah, there's a big, there's
25:44
another stage. So there's another stage on, not
25:46
a stage. No, I don't think there's
25:48
another stage, is there? No, I don't think so.
25:51
I think this is just the ending in the tip, the top.
25:54
Yeah, I think this, yeah. This, it's pretty close.
25:58
It's pretty close. Yeah.
25:59
Let us know in the comments if you know anything else about
26:02
this. If there's another stage because
26:03
we shouldn't should do a video on the SLS, just to catch
26:06
everybody up. Yeah, we should that things.
26:09
Like it doesn't get as much. Tension as it should because it
26:13
is you know, as much as people think that it's a waste of money
26:17
or, you know, it's just like waste of resources is going to
26:20
take forever and you know what, this like Costa convoluted
26:23
system with a lunar Gateway and all this stuff.
26:26
It's like it's still sending people to the Moon, you know,
26:29
still sending people to the moon.
26:31
So it for sure service. And it's a tweet today about.
26:35
I think it's probably the next next screen here, isn't it?
26:40
However, the next tab. Yeah, there we go.
26:43
Bill Nelson says NASA is planning to land another
26:46
transition. Landing each year for a Dozen
26:48
Years starting as early as 2020 for yes.
26:52
I think the part that sticks in my mind the most is as early as
26:55
2020 for. So up until now I was always
26:58
been 2024 2024. Now it's as early as 2020.
27:04
Yeah, we could make this deadline.
27:06
We could, you know, this possible deadline.
27:09
Yeah. 20. 24 would be the best possible scenario, but we might
27:15
have to wait you know a couple more years but a moon landing
27:19
each year for Dozen Years since it's a lot of equipment.
27:22
I'm just amazed that it's only once a year though.
27:24
It's like you got a system now. Like week SpaceX will probably
27:28
be going by itself at that point, but it's like really only
27:32
one a year, aren't we? Trying to build like an Artemis
27:35
program and bass and stuff here, for sure.
27:38
Yeah, and literally, how much stuff cuz Landing right.
27:41
So perhaps the perhaps is going to be more missions to the
27:45
Gateway or something like that in between.
27:46
Yeah. And then from the Gateway,
27:49
Starship comes up, grab some stuff down to back down, because
27:52
they think they said, lunar Starship can last 100 days after
27:56
it gets out to the Gateway station before it has to have a
27:59
crew and go down right? Or something.
28:02
There was about that time. So I want a year, are we getting
28:05
rid of a lunar Starship a year? Maybe, I mean, if I think
28:13
eventually lunar Starships going to take over, you know, I think
28:17
I think SLS is going to be outdated.
28:19
Eventually, you know, Starships going to be way more
28:22
cost-effective way cheaper for the taxpayers.
28:25
Bill Nelson Has essentially said this already, right?
28:28
He's already said, you know, Starships the future, this is
28:32
the way we're going to go. Unless something happens with
28:35
new Glenn that Doesn't seem a likely thing right now, but who
28:41
knows, who knows? I me Tory can't even get his
28:43
engines so Sports Arenas in Jets.
28:49
I feel bad for that guy. Well, he has some logic Twitter
28:52
about it, right? You know, somebody somebody was
28:55
calling him out in, like, calling out the be four engines
28:58
and Tory was like, yeah, that's actually how it's working,
29:00
buddy. You know, I don't think it's
29:02
fine. We're just waiting on our
29:03
clients to be ready. Yeah, yeah.
29:06
So that was it. Vulcan for everybody who says
29:09
she was asking Vulcan rocket. And speaking of Vulcans Starship
29:18
engineer, a medical engineer that I don't know if there's
29:21
ever been a Vulcan. It was a space.
29:25
Start doctor doctor? Yeah.
29:27
But yeah, let's pretend there could always be yes.
29:31
Another good segue, we're good at this city.
29:34
We're really good at this. That's our job.
29:36
Imagine that The qualification doctor of medicine, or doctor of
29:42
osteopathic medicine. And also, you have to have a
29:46
masters of Science in engineering solution, basic
29:50
qualification, basic, like, the most basic thing, don't even
29:53
apply. If you don't have this as a
29:54
minimum. Yeah, what's their preferred
29:59
alien or yeah? Like is there somebody out
30:03
there? That's already done this.
30:05
I mean, there's gotta be one person, right?
30:07
Also, basically, a professional experience with Aerospace
30:11
medicine. Yeah.
30:14
That how many people on earth or suited for this job?
30:18
How many men have a, heck of a lot of people?
30:21
Yeah. I mean, maybe somebody who
30:23
worked with NASA on shuttle, you know, something like that.
30:27
Or you don't know. Yeah, you got me, you got me?
30:32
Because it's further my people launching Rockets, you know with
30:34
people in them where they're actually medical position.
30:36
Like, obviously, there was people, Well trained in medical
30:38
for the shuttle missions. But were there actually like
30:41
medical like officers or something?
30:43
I don't believe so like I feel like everyone's had some medical
30:46
training. Yeah, I think that I don't know
30:51
like mission to Mission you mean, I don't know.
30:53
Yeah, but I'm sure that there have been doctors in space,
30:56
right? I just don't know whether they
30:59
were on every Mission. Not sure certainly inspiration
31:02
for has a couple, right? So yeah they're set to go.
31:09
Yeah this is a really weird position because it's very
31:13
highly technical, very specific. Yeah, schedules, flexible long
31:18
hours, remote. Like, the weekend work may be
31:21
necessary. Basically, during site being
31:23
Mars or right? Yeah, might have schedule
31:27
flexibility. Yeah.
31:28
Just you know the vacation. I'll be back actually years.
31:31
Yeah. The part that I liked was at the
31:33
top here where it says, keep going up a little bit more.
31:39
Okay, here we are. So work across teams to design
31:42
integrate and Implement a medical system of the future of
31:46
the future. The future coming.
31:47
That's awesome. Yeah.
31:54
So this isn't this is going to be all new like this is for
31:58
Starship man. This is for people that are
31:59
going to be going to Mars and to the moon and you need to figure
32:03
out medical stuff because people are people, we're going to get
32:06
sick. We're going to get hurt.
32:08
You got to be able to take care of those people.
32:09
People, we have to have possibly a doctor on board if you break a
32:12
leg because you can break a leg in space, then what you gonna do
32:16
you? No.
32:17
Not likely, unless you're like, launching yourself across the
32:20
whole Starship and like try to dropkick something, but you
32:23
never know. It could happen.
32:26
I've seen in movies for sure. Yeah, exactly happened in
32:29
movies. It'll definitely happen in real
32:31
life. Absolutely eventually.
32:33
Yeah. Serve as the Aerospace medicine
32:35
technical expert for human spaceflight activities.
32:39
Yeah. So are you going to?
32:40
Are you going to have to do these flights?
32:42
I don't know. That's a that's a thing.
32:44
Like can you will you do the flights provide medical support.
32:49
Check this out during flight operations in develop ment as a
32:52
console operator. So maybe it's a remote At
32:55
position, we will be on Zoom or Skype or something.
32:58
Yeah, I think this is a birth based position for yeah, I think
33:02
so too. I think so too.
33:03
It would be cool if it wasn't. You can be the first like let
33:07
you know. It's funny when when you sent me
33:08
this morning, will I sent a gift of dr.
33:13
McCoy from Star Trek saying I'm a doctor not an engineer in this
33:17
case, you're both. Yeah.
33:20
All of the above. Yeah, exactly.
33:23
Yeah. And yeah, it's a cool.
33:25
Session. So if you, if you want to work
33:27
at SpaceX and you're a doctor /, what is the thing?
33:32
What's the basically doctor medicine or Osteopathic
33:36
Medicine, Masters of Science and Engineering than go.
33:39
Apply for this thing. Tell him, space news.
33:41
Part sent you. Yeah.
33:43
People get a then call US. Yeah.
33:45
And then maybe we'll get a griffin for Zach.
33:47
For sure. Each got one will have an extra
33:51
that would become do a giveaway. Yeah but you pay the Shipping,
33:56
whoever you give it to medium. Six are heavy and expensive.
33:59
Yeah. Because shipping and handling
34:01
sheets shipping and handling fees.
34:03
And speaking of handling spacecraft, the Chinese
34:09
astronauts are at the space station, kind of a vlog.
34:15
This is then waking up getting ready for the day in there.
34:19
The crew cabin, which is pretty cool.
34:20
We haven't even seen this video. Hopefully, I haven't brushes his
34:23
teeth. Like they're real people up
34:25
there. I like that.
34:26
They're actually like real bunks.
34:28
Like yeah, I'm like a tour bus or something verse the ISS ones,
34:31
which are closets. Yeah.
34:33
Well they've done. Is the Chinese have turned off
34:36
their artificial gravity for this video.
34:37
Just so they're not giving anything away.
34:42
They wouldn't want us to know that they have that.
34:44
So But technology, right? Well it's just interesting to
34:48
see to see another space station and how their other operating.
34:53
It's a lot cleaner that to me than the ISS at the moment.
34:57
I think the ISS is 20 years to gather wires and gizmos here and
35:01
there so I have to say I like the jackets.
35:04
Yeah that's a nice jacket. Yeah.
35:05
They're pretty pretty specific this.
35:07
All those maybe not the blue pants but the jacket looks good.
35:12
Not a full like Smurf suit, you know?
35:13
I like a full full blue. And blue.
35:16
Yeah, it just looks cleaner more modern.
35:19
Yeah. That would, that's true.
35:20
Yeah, I agree with you. I like it.
35:23
Yeah. But that's, it's similar to
35:26
like, I think Neil and Neil pork and myself.
35:31
We had like a similar concept but our rooms were bigger on the
35:34
Starship but you had your own sort of like pod on our starship
35:38
video. So it was like these guys have
35:40
like me set, this is brand-new like there's not like a hammer
35:44
floating around and like Like duct tape and like wires and
35:47
like random cameras on the wall. So it's all very like just white
35:51
medical clinical and just get the job done, man.
35:55
There's nothing in your way and then you can go.
35:58
But interested in using the standard Balu for grab bars and
36:02
whatnot, that ISS uses as well. Oh, I didn't notice that.
36:07
Yeah, so anything that's sort of can be grabbed and held onto
36:10
seems to be blue. Well, not all of them, some of
36:12
them are black, but Huh. Like a darker color then because
36:16
the white is a good contrast with the white.
36:18
Yeah. On the walls, whatever.
36:21
They're up there for three months.
36:22
Right. I think that's what it is.
36:23
Yeah. Three months.
36:24
Yeah. That's cool man.
36:25
That's right. Yeah.
36:26
We'll see how dirty it gets in three months.
36:30
See if I get it like baggies and stuff for laying around and just
36:33
like junk someone's job once a week.
36:35
Just to you know, wipe everything down and yeah.
36:40
So that's pretty cool. That's know how that works like
36:43
with the wiping away. walls to do, they use like, Like Clorox
36:47
pads. Or how does that work?
36:48
Like, do they use like little moist towelettes?
36:51
I always assumed it was a baby wipes or something like that.
36:54
And yeah, yeah, something that's going to be sought to gentle as
36:58
well as clean. Maybe they could get together
37:02
with tied and they could make a scrub tied.
37:07
I like, I like how you tied all that together, yesterday.
37:11
Just need the Magic Eraser. It's not tied, but mr.
37:14
Clay mr. Clay, this this article It does
37:16
say that it will be a combination of some sort of
37:19
detergent plus plus, some of these Magic Eraser type of
37:22
things. There we go.
37:24
Oh yeah. There you go.
37:25
Procter & Gamble. Hit me up, dude.
37:27
It's Tides just getting ready for Starship.
37:29
They know that six-month Mission are going to need a lot.
37:34
Yeah, I wonder how a washer and dryer works in space.
37:39
You know, I guess you could use the washer would work well, they
37:43
all kind of like a washer washing machine.
37:46
I suppose if you just have an agitator that's going back and
37:49
forth that would help but the current like a modern modern
37:53
one, which spins vertically needs gravity work.
37:58
You need some fins in it to catch stuff?
38:02
Yeah, we need to like just bash it, right needs to be hit.
38:06
Yeah, smack stuff around. Well, is so that being said,
38:10
with the force of the washing machine spinning with that spin
38:13
you back into orbit, or out of orbit and back down to earth.
38:17
Imagine imagine that washing machine, kind of catastrophic
38:20
event. That's how we get artificial
38:23
gravity. I was just doing my laundry,
38:26
need some gravity to Starship, starts spinning, all different.
38:29
You just Hunker in to the end of the washing machine of need some
38:33
gravity, feel like, man, I miss home.
38:35
I'm gonna get this washing machine for a little bit.
38:40
Anyway, yeah, speaking of that. Speaking of going home that's
38:44
the I'm getting the go home cue from the, from my producer.
38:49
I don't have a producer. What am I talking about Scrappy
38:51
Scrappy? Yeah.
38:52
Where was she is? But that's pretty much it.
38:55
I think we covered everything. Everything about space today
38:59
every and then my lights go off. There's your producers.
39:03
Gonna, I'm gonna rip that down. I'm gonna rip that down today.
39:06
That's done, it's over. Yeah, Zach, thanks for hanging
39:11
out man. Youtube.com slash the Launchpad.
39:16
All one word and ya. Next time I have to get together
39:21
again. This is fun.
39:22
This is good times exact. It's the nice thing around.
39:24
Move with more Canadians and Americans.
39:27
Oh Prayer in Spanish. Bring that up.
39:31
You had to bring that up just across the border.
39:34
I pretty much Canadian. There's a few states that will
39:38
Except yeah, we'll take a few of them.
39:41
Yeah. All right we have a lot of Tim
39:43
hose around here to subdue me hose.
39:45
So pretty close. You basically Canadian already.
39:49
I'm Canadian. That's pretty much.
39:51
All right. Well that's about it.
39:53
