You don't control me timer, sup everybody?
0:07
Hey, welcome back everybody. So we got some news this morning
0:11
about some Insider information about the SpaceX Starship
0:18
launch. That may be happening sometime
0:19
soon, Jeff, Francis Stefan! Hey what's up?
0:22
Hello from Germany again. Hello everybody.
0:25
Welcome, welcome, welcome. So let's check out look at this
0:28
poll 42%. We'll see August 29 percent,
0:32
see, July, September 25 percent in October October October is
0:39
4%, October plus, so, October November December and then 2023
0:46
possibly. I don't know, I have my feelings
0:50
on this as well, but I know that SpaceX is working super hard to
0:55
get this stuff done and I know because I've seen it, I've seen
0:59
them working on it 24/7. I was talking yesterday during
1:03
the live update stream. That when I was down at
1:09
Starbase, you know, I spent nine months they're reporting on
1:13
Starship and one night, I went down there at like 3:00 in the
1:17
morning just to see what's up. You know what down to Starbase
1:21
on side of highway for I brought my cameras and all my gear, like
1:25
everything's been loaded in the truck.
1:26
I have this big backpack full of like 50 pounds of camera gear
1:30
and I throw in my trunk, got down there.
1:32
It's about a 25 minutes to 30 minute drive from my house and I
1:35
got there at 3:00 in the morning and there's like a million
1:38
People they're still working and I mean it's a night shift mind
1:41
you and it was kind of a push at that point from SpaceX to get
1:45
this thing going. It was ship 420 so they were
1:50
pushing super hard but there were a ton of people.
1:52
They're always working 24/7. So that being said, we know that
1:58
SpaceX isn't slowing down. You know, now that they got the
2:01
Fonzie now that they're ready because of the environmental
2:05
impact, study and everything. All of that stuff, Is done, I
2:09
have 75 ish, things 70-something things that they have to take
2:13
care of in order to launch this thing.
2:14
And then they have to get an FAA launch license.
2:17
On top of that, well SpaceX is still working as hard as ever
2:21
and they just did a be 7.1 tank test last night and it looked
2:25
like there was some weird venting going on with that.
2:29
But that's sort of a thing that we're not 100% sure about why
2:33
that was venting off the side of be 7.1.
2:35
But they may be doing another test today.
2:38
There's possibly another. I mean there is a road closure
2:40
coming up today and you know, I didn't get any alerts on my
2:45
phone if the road is closed quite yet, because I'm not down
2:48
there at Starbase it. I can't really get kicked out of
2:50
Starbase. Like I used to is that was
2:53
always fun. That was always fun.
2:56
You're down there and you're filming and stuff and the police
2:59
show up. And they're like, oh yeah, but
3:01
you gotta leave buddy and it's like, oh man, I was going to get
3:04
that cool shot. But, you know, you know, You
3:08
know, that that it's for the best and you have to kind of
3:10
hang out and chill and just go down the road, a couple of miles
3:14
and luckily I had a big lens so you know, so I could continue to
3:19
shoot stuff from there but here's some road closures,
3:23
screaming in my basement says nice.
3:24
NASA jacket, where did you get it?
3:26
I got it like two years ago and I can't remember where I got it.
3:31
I really can't remember it, but thank you.
3:33
I think it's pretty sweet to thank you.
3:37
So How big? It's a 600 millimeter lens on.
3:42
It's a 600 millimeter lens. It's like this big.
3:44
It's like it's girthy too. It's like it's a big big like
3:50
big lens. No chance for some static fires
3:57
today, right? So I fell no there's no static
4:00
fires today. There's been no over pressure
4:02
test or no. Overpressure notices handed out
4:06
yet. Mary Boca Chica Gail on Twitter.
4:08
Hasn't had a notice yet and she's usually the go-to source
4:11
for those kind of things. And once she posts that people
4:14
freak out, I Count. Right.
4:17
I freaked out because we know that something cool is going to
4:20
be happening. And considering that she hasn't
4:26
done that yet. We're just waiting.
4:29
We're just waiting screaming, my best basement says, I predict a
4:32
launch mid-august, I'm thinking, and this is just me knowing what
4:37
I know from actual experience down there.
4:41
I'm thinking I'm thinking up to 90 days, but after 90 days, it's
4:47
going to be. I think they're going to pull it
4:50
off within 90 days, I really do. I think they're going to pull it
4:53
off in 90 days Within These next, 90 days, three months.
4:57
So September, I moved there. Last year, September September
5:01
10th, I got into Brownsville and 11th.
5:04
I moved into my apartment, so I could have stayed there for a
5:09
year and saw the launch, but I had to come back to New York for
5:12
some Family stuff. So unfortunately I'm not in
5:16
Brownsville right now, which I would love to be there, but I'm
5:20
here and I will be taking a trip down to Brownsville for the
5:24
launch. So if you want to support that
5:25
in any way, the easiest way is to like this video, literally,
5:29
the easiest ways to like the video if you want to subscribe
5:31
to the show. Very cool.
5:33
I appreciate that tremendously, it helps out a ton in.
5:35
It also shows, like I said before, it shows YouTube, that
5:38
you're interested in Starship content, so there you go.
5:42
That's a A good way to show YouTube that like hey I like
5:45
Starship content. This guy does a lot of Starship
5:47
content. I want more Starship content, so
5:49
if you subscribe to my show, you'll probably get fed a bunch
5:52
of other cool Starship content to.
5:54
So thank you for all the new Subs.
5:57
Thanks for all the new likes trying to get up to 100 likes
5:59
today. So thank you very much for that.
6:01
Now, these are some road closures, coming up.
6:04
I'm going to show you this. Check this out.
6:07
Road closures. Coming up today, Wednesday.
6:10
June 29th. Possible between 10 a.m. and 10
6:13
p.m. M, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. possible
6:18
closure and then June 30th on Thursday is a primary date for
6:23
the next window of opportunity for testing for something.
6:27
We're not sure what it could be another be 7.1 test, but it
6:33
could also be an pressure test for booster.
6:37
And it could be a cryo test for booster because they just
6:40
installed 33 Raptor engines on this thing.
6:43
So Reptar to is actually. So if you think about it they
6:47
have to retest a lot of the systems that were in there
6:50
before because before they put the Raptors on, they have to
6:53
make sure that everything works right?
6:55
Because there's no real reason to put the Raptors on, if the
6:58
tanks don't work. You know what I'm saying?
7:01
And if the pressure doesn't hold and if it's can't be
7:03
cryogenically frozen, then there's no reason to put the
7:06
Raptors on this thing so they did all those tests before the
7:09
Raptors were put on. So going forward.
7:13
There's a possibility that they do that whole Gambit of tests
7:16
again, right? So the Gambit of test could be
7:20
cryo load ambient pressure, testing things like that going
7:25
forward and then probably an igniter test.
7:28
They've already done it igniter test a less than a week ago.
7:31
I think somewhere around there but they may not need to do
7:35
another igniter test for certain Raptors that they that they're
7:40
going to do the static fire for. So A knight or test.
7:44
Basically goes shush shush but they don't like the engine, you
7:51
know, they just have to make sure that the igniter works.
7:53
So when the fuel hits the igniter, it all goes, so that's
7:57
good. So that's the possibility that
8:02
these things could take a lot of time, you know?
8:04
And I'm looking at these road closures, June 30th, Thursday,
8:10
June 30th from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and then Look at this is
8:14
Skips down. July 5th, right here, July 5th.
8:21
10 a.m. to 10 p.m. so between Thursday, June 30th and July
8:24
5th. They lose about almost a month
8:27
or not a month about a week of testing.
8:30
So about five days of testing, they lose that time because of
8:34
the Fourth of July holiday Brownsville and Boca Chica Beach
8:40
super busy during these times. Very, very Busy.
8:43
It's a vacation spot. It's busy during nice days.
8:47
And I've seen, you know, lots of cars down there.
8:50
It's kind of out the middle of nowhere to by the way if you've
8:52
never been down there, it's kind of crazy.
8:54
It's kind of kind of out in the middle of nowhere and there's
8:59
people everywhere down there. But you have to drive like 30
9:02
minutes from Brownsville to get down to this place, and it's a
9:05
drive for 25 of those 35 minutes through, literally nothing just
9:12
like a long, stretch of road through the desert, basically,
9:14
through the wetlands and through through sand and like scorching
9:20
sun to get down to this beach. But Fourth of July weekend
9:25
SpaceX and Cameron County have come to an agreement to not do
9:29
any testing between those days. So that being said, judge
9:35
Trevino, Eddie Trevino. Is the person in charge of
9:39
giving the okay for camera County and SpaceX to to do
9:46
there. They're testing, right?
9:48
So, this guy right here, Eddie Trevino jr.
9:52
Seems like a really nice, dude. I've never met the guy, but he
9:54
seems really cool, but he is, he's the guy, you know, every
9:59
time you see these road closures right here?
10:02
Order closing book at, you could be chin State Park Highway, or a
10:04
state highway June 30th 2022. Eddie Trevino is on here
10:09
somewhere. Where is his name?
10:13
Edit Ravine your Junior right up here at the top.
10:15
You can't really see it but court approved an order,
10:18
authorizing County Judge edit Trevino, jun'er to execute any
10:21
and all necessary or appropriate notices orders of temporary
10:24
closure of State Highway for Cameron County Judge, head of
10:29
Trevino jr. Has ordered the temporary
10:30
closure of access to Boca Chica Beach as well as State Highway
10:33
for from FM 1419 to the entrance of Boca.
10:37
Chica Beach, do to anticipate a testing activities for SpaceX.
10:41
On the 30th. So that's tomorrow, that's
10:46
tomorrow. And then there's one for 27th.
10:49
It's pretty much the same thing, but the road is at the
10:53
beginning, the other row that they're talking about here, I
10:55
want to show you this real quick Highway for, that's like the
10:58
whole strip of Highway for Oklahoma.
11:01
Avenue is at the very beginning. The show is brought to you by
11:04
backblaze. I use back place to back up my
11:07
podcast. My video files, all of my
11:09
writing stuff and all my photos. And you get unlimited computer
11:12
backup, for Macs and PCs for just $7 a month.
11:16
You can backup your own documents photos videos.
11:18
Drawings projects, all of your data and access your backed up
11:22
data from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can
11:26
access the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
11:30
And this is the cool part. This is my favorite part.
11:31
You can restore it by mail, a hard drive will come to your
11:34
house with all your data shipped to your door.
11:37
I could come to your business to and you can restore return
11:40
refund program. So You can buy a hard drive
11:42
restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days and get a
11:46
full refund. So basically they ship you this
11:48
hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
11:51
it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
11:54
You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
11:58
teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
12:00
accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
12:04
can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
12:07
it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
12:10
So 7, There's plus two dollars, nine dollars a month and you get
12:14
everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.
12:16

13:15
If I wait for, as you're going from Brownsville down to
13:19
spacex's Starbase so Oklahoma, EV is very far away and I got
13:23
confused months ago, four or five months ago or something
13:26
like that was pretty late at night, I think, or I was really
13:28
tired from the Sun from Pink, his dark face all day and I was
13:31
like, wait, why are they closing the whole Road?
13:34
And I freaked out, I was like, why are they closed the whole
13:37
Road? This has got to be something
13:39
crazy and then it really wasn't. It's just like every notice is
13:42
from Oklahoma Avenue. New all the way down to the end,
13:46
but this is basically like. So they have a boiler plate so
13:49
they can say, okay, we need to, we need to close this whole
13:52
Road. You know, if we need to, they
13:54
don't have to do any sort of weird stuff, you know, and try
13:56
to figure it out later. So it's just a boilerplate of
14:02
Oklahoma Ave, which is at the beginning of Highway for all the
14:05
way down to Starbase. So, it's like a 25 mile trip
14:08
from there, basically, from the, the checkpoint, there's a border
14:12
patrol checkpoint basically. Border patrol checkpoint all the
14:15
way down to Highway for our all the way down highway forward to
14:18
Starbase. So editor, Vino signs off on
14:21
these things, right? Eddy, Curry know, also came out
14:26
the other day on the Rio Grande, guardian and said, I expect
14:32
Starship to launch from Boca Chica within the next 90 days.
14:36
Okay? So Eddie works super close with
14:40
Ilan. He works super close with the
14:42
SpaceX team here. It's super close with Cameron
14:45
County, he knows everybody, he knows everybody, he shakes
14:50
hands, he kiss babies, he's a politician.
14:53
He's a, he's a, he's a judge, you know?
14:56
He's, he's one of those people that you can trust with this
14:59
sort of information and on the rear end a guardian, they were
15:04
asking me questions. So this is in the defense of the
15:07
future of Aerospace defense in energy, in Brownsville.
15:10
It's a conference that happened down there in Brownsville.
15:13
He said, During a Q&A who has Helen Ramirez, asked him.
15:18
I know you don't have a crystal ball in your pocket, but what is
15:20
your prediction in terms of the Starship launch?
15:24
And you think about this for a second, this is the guy to ask
15:28
because he knows some stuff. The even meet I like, I talk to
15:31
the workers down at Starbase, you know, every day.
15:34
I was like, hey, what's up? And I got to know a few of them,
15:36
you know, but they never told me anything.
15:38
And I lived in the same apartment complex is like for
15:42
SpaceX guys. So they didn't spill any beans,
15:47
but edit Trevino, he knows some people, he knows what's up.
15:51
So after they said, I know you don't have a crystal ball in
15:55
your pocket, but what is your prediction in terms of a
15:57
Starship launch Helen Ramirez? Said, in that Eddie said, I
16:01
could accurately say that if it was up to SpaceX, it would have
16:05
been today, or yesterday. I can see that with 100% degree
16:10
of certainty. So Eddie saying, holy moly,
16:16
let's do this. SpaceX is 100% ready.
16:20
They want to do this right now? Let's At this going.
16:25
So he also goes on to say, but I think on the real aggressive
16:29
side, we are probably talking 30 days, real aggressive side.
16:34
So 30 days from now, June 29th 2022 by the end of July.
16:41
Really aggressive SpaceX. Could possibly launch Starship,
16:46
I think, but I think on the real aggressive side, we are probably
16:49
talking 30 days on the more moderate side probably 60 days.
16:53
And more realistically 90 days. But it could be anywhere in that
16:58
ballpark more realistically, he says, 90 days, could they have
17:02
another influence or another? Another influx of people pushing
17:08
Starship, could they have hundreds of workers coming down
17:12
to Starbase to get this thing stacked up again to get a full
17:17
stack of Starship again. And to do all the testing is
17:20
totally possible. They have Engineers all over the
17:23
country, they Of Engineers at Hawthorne California, they have
17:25
them in Texas, they have been Florida.
17:28
So all those people from different places could come
17:30
together at Starbase and just be like let's do this.
17:34
Let's get this done because they have the FAA approval for the
17:37
environment but they don't have a launch license yet.
17:40
So it's possible that they get a launch launch license whenever
17:45
the PHA yay agrees to do it. So, That's the kicker, right?
17:54
The FAA, we're waiting, right? We're waiting for this, but they
17:58
need to SpaceX needs to demonstrate that.
18:01
They can stack this thing. They need to demonstrate that
18:04
they can static fire this thing and they also have to do those
18:06
75 is things that the FAA is environmental.
18:10
Study said they need to do in order to launch this.
18:15
So they're in the process of that.
18:16
Most of them are pretty easy. Most of them are like donate
18:19
five thousand dollars, you know, like that's pretty easy for
18:22
SpaceX, don't eat. Thousand dollars for the
18:24
oscillate fund or something like that.
18:27
And then there's one build a bridge.
18:29
So the animals can get across the highway so they don't get
18:33
hit by cars anymore, you know, things like that.
18:37
Could take a little bit of time could take.
18:39
I mean, it doesn't have to be a crazy bridge and it doesn't have
18:43
to be a huge infrastructure plan for this thing to happen.
18:47
But but Highway for is a protected area around there.
18:53
So they have to work with the Department of Transportation and
18:56
also the department of conversation conservation, Etc,
19:00
to get this done. So that may take a little while,
19:05
you know, 30 to 60 days to get all that kind of paperwork
19:08
together and then to get it ready and get the supplies
19:11
ready, they'll hire a local contractor to do it SpaceX
19:14
themselves. Aren't going to do it.
19:15
They'll hire somebody. They hire local contractors in
19:18
Boca Chica. Area Brownsville area all the
19:21
time to do this stuff. So there's a possibility that
19:26
they just go. Okay, so we have, we know what
19:28
we need to get done. We have to do this in 10 days.
19:32
Can you build this? And then any contractor in
19:35
Brownsville will be like anything.
19:37
You say, Ilan, you know, like whatever needs to be done.
19:41
We're going to do it because they also have they have
19:45
existing relationship contractors, that build things
19:48
for them like concrete. Etc.
19:50
So it's possible that they can get this done in a relatively
19:54
short manner of time has to be a viewing area as well for people
19:58
to check out the wildlife down there, things.
20:01
Things like that, of those of that nature that are sort of
20:06
sort of sortie easy, you know, things that are like, they can
20:10
probably build that over a week, you know, like build a viewing
20:13
area for about a week so that could take a little bit time.
20:17
But in same time, they just hire somebody To do that.
20:20
You know they might have to little bit paperwork to do to
20:22
get that ready and get it started, but they hire somebody
20:25
else to do that. So the engineers that are
20:26
working on Starships aren't working on road projects.
20:30
So the stuff that's happening at Starbase isn't going to be
20:34
affected by these little side project.
20:36
They have to do. So those will be pretty easy to
20:40
get done I think and I think those will be done within the
20:42
next 30 days. So as edit Trevino says, I think
20:47
on the real aggressive side. We were probably talking 30
20:50
days. So if Raptor twos work, if they
20:54
can get cryo test, if they can get pressure tests, if they can
20:58
get all the tests done within those 30 days, and they can show
21:02
the FAA that this thing is ready to fly because they have to
21:05
show. They can't just be like, hey, I
21:06
figure, we have this experimental rocket and we think
21:09
it's going to it might read on the pad and like do some really
21:12
bad damage. They have to show that this
21:15
thing is totally okay to fly because the FAA won't allow them
21:20
to fly. If they don't have the concrete
21:22
evidence that this is not going to be a danger to people or the
21:26
environment around it or you know, down the way.
21:30
I mean they're gonna be fine. This thing the Kawaii, right?
21:33
So they're going to be they're going to be flying the booster
21:35
into the into the Gulf of Mexico and then they're going to be
21:40
landing at there and then they're going to be flying this
21:43
rocket Starship. Almost a full orbit to Kawaii
21:48
and then Landing it in a name. Zone basically, where they take
21:52
old ships to die. So, they take these old ships,
21:55
send them out there and they blow them up and they sink them.
21:59
It's kind of like, do exercises out there where they're like,
22:01
okay, we're going to do a targeting exercise today.
22:06
And we're going to we're going to blow up a boat or something
22:09
like that. So Starship is going to be in
22:12
the same sort of graveyard of ships at that point.
22:17
So yeah that's it's going to be it's going to be a pretty T,
22:21
decent process. And if you have any questions,
22:23
let me know in the chat also. Thanks for the 49 likes.

stuff in your feed to, which is always good.
22:39
So, thanks so much for the new likes.
22:42
Thanks for the new Subs, too because working on getting our
22:46
sub count up to 100,000 and we're 88,000 plus now, so,
22:51
Pumped. And I want, I want to see real
22:52
quick after my little diatribe, there about SpaceX.
22:55
I want to say thank you to a few people that have become members
22:58
of the channel. Kenneth more naughty Diane
23:01
Harris, Fang. Stargazer girl Jeff Francis

23:14
Carly of profile picture is Beavis and Butt-head which is
23:18
the best and chard baby. Everybody knows sure I'd be even
23:20
happier. Cappy.
23:21
Thanks so much everybody for all of the new memberships of the
23:24
channel to the channel. And if you want to become a
23:26
member, that would be great because it helps the show out.
23:29
And also, it helps fund two trips to rocket launches.
23:32
So I'm going to be down in Starbase for this launch.
23:37
It's going to be cool, it's going to be great.
23:38
So if you want to help that, that cause become a member, it
23:42
takes a second and really helps out a ton.
23:45
It's like five bucks a month or something like that.
23:47
So, basically got patreon but on YouTube, So we got to we got to
23:54
like take a look at other things that Eddie Trevino said to let
23:57
me look at the chat real quick. So can't believe the booster can
24:00
land in these tiny pins that is mind-blowing.
24:03
It's insane, it's insane. How big this thing is, but also
24:08
that it's going to be landing like that.
24:13
That precise you know and I don't I don't they're not going
24:17
to be catching any anytime soon. I don't think very many catching
24:20
any. And in Cameron County anytime
24:24
soon because I don't think the don't think the FAA is going to
24:28
allow them to do a fly back for a while until they prove that
24:33
they can land these things. Because I mean Falcon 9 it took
24:35
him a while to landed right? Took him a bunch of tries to
24:39
land a falcon 9. So it's going to be a while
24:43
before they actually get to land on the chopsticks with a booster
24:48
or a ship. So I'm not expecting it anytime.
24:52
This year to try that, I think it's going to be next year that
24:54
they're going to be landing on the, on the arms.
24:56
At some point, possibly even longer along the line than that,
25:00
could be two years from now but rapid reuse ability.
25:03
They have to make sure that everything works right in that
25:06
they can get a very precise Landing when they land in the
25:08
Gulf or when they land on land. I mean, there's a possibility
25:12
that there are some islands out by Kawaii that are kind of
25:16
uninhabited or have very, very few people that live there in
25:20
there is Military bases on them. So SpaceX is looking into
25:26
actually Landing either ship or booster out there away from
25:32
everything else away from their landing area and Cameron County
25:35
just so they can test it on land too.
25:37
But we'll see. We'll see what happens with that
25:39
because we don't really know they're not really working.
25:41
They're not really focusing on that.
25:43
They're more focusing on getting to orbit first and once they can
25:46
prove that they can get the orbit, they might not even make
25:48
it to orbit this time like this, this might just go Up in Smoke,
25:53
you know, it's the first orbital flight attempt for Starship so
25:57
it might make it over the Gulf of Mexico and they, that might
26:00
be it nothing. They might make it a couple
26:03
miles out in the event. Could be yet 100 million things
26:08
to go wrong with this thing. So it's an experimental thing
26:10
and they have to show the FAA that they're ready to go.
26:13
So edit Trevino, also talks about the Fonzie a little bit in
26:18
this article. It's on the Rio, Grande
26:20
Guardian.com space. Sex understands and they are
26:23
committed to making sure that they protect the environment and
26:26
do not impact it - 4 in any - former fashion.
26:30
So they are involved in engaged and SpaceX have been waiting on
26:33
this. We have all been waiting on this
26:35
honestly, for quite a period of time, you know?
26:41
I can tell I can tell that Eddie is he's chomping at the bit to
26:45
get this thing launched. There's there's a lot to be done
26:50
with Starship still but the sooner they get this thing
26:54
launched in the faster that it gets to orbit.
26:58
The more they can ramp up production in the more they ramp
27:01
up production, the more money the county makes Cameron County
27:05
has made millions of dollars due to Starship and do too.
27:09
Starbase. So, you know, Eddie Eddie's
27:12
right on the ball there. He's been waiting.
27:14
You know, this judge any Trevino's been waiting, the
27:17
whole camera County area has been waiting.
27:19
They're bringing in thousands of jobs to that region, so Eddie
27:23
The Insider coming through coming in hot, but he goes on to
27:29
say, you know, that that there's a difference between Boca Chica
27:36
Beach and Florida. And I want to talk about that
27:40
for a couple seconds to, he says, obviously the difference
27:43
between Boca Chica and Florida, is that we have not done it yet.
27:46
We have not launched here, we have had a few tests but we
27:49
don't have the launching industry, the Florida does.
27:52
So we are literally inventing the wheel here.
27:54
I think the FAA understandably, so wanted to make sure that they
27:57
cross all the t's and dotted all the eyes before they gave
28:00
approval, which is totally okay. And I was talking about that
28:04
earlier. How about how the FAA also has
28:08
to make sure that Starship will launch and it'll be okay.
28:13
So if they, if SpaceX proves to the FAA, that this thing looks
28:17
like it's going to make it at least to a at least to a safe
28:22
place. Then I think the FAA will say,
28:25
okay, let's go. Let's go SpaceX, let's get this
28:28
thing done. Let's launch this thing.
28:30
Let me take a look at chat real quick.
28:32
Still kept the tiny pins. That it is a lunar Starship for
28:36
Artemus three. I think 20 25 to 20 26, but for
28:39
Mars crew died. See, 2035 feel like 2030 is
28:42
still a too ambitious date for Mars.
28:44
I'd love to be wrong though. Now, let me take a drink of my
28:46
ridiculously large bottle of water.
28:49
This is a, this thing is huge. I just got this the other day I
28:52
was on sale and I was like, this is huge.
28:58
Talking for like 30 minutes, straight hurts, your throat,
29:01
press the, an impassioned Starship talk, you know who I
29:06
can't, how, I don't understand can do this stuff, is the angry
29:10
astronaut. He's always so mad.
29:14
They always has an angry voice, so I don't know, I don't know
29:17
how he does it. I love that guy.
29:18
I love Angry astronaut, I've had him on the show before.
29:21
He's a great dude, he's a great dude, but the way like his voice
29:24
is so Gravely and You know, I think that he's pretty awesome
29:31
but I don't know how he does it for that long.
29:32
I really don't one Link at a time.
29:36
LLC says, can you turn up your mic?
29:37
I can't. This is let me try.
29:39
Hold on, let me try over here. Try with Hardware.
29:41
There we go. Try with the harder.
29:43
I don't want to blow it out, but let's try this.
29:45
There we go. Is that better for you?
29:47
There we go. So yeah, when he has a gravelly
29:52
voice, I'm like man. If I tried to do that for that
29:54
long, as long as he does for his live streams, I would probably
29:57
blow up my vocal cords. So let's talk a little bit about
30:02
the economic impact to that Eddie Trevino's SOS.
30:06
So Eddie said, anywhere between 30 and 90 days.
30:10
If you're just joining us here, Between 30 and 90 days for the
30:14
launch of a Starship. What subject?
30:17
And welcome back economic impact of Starship down there at
30:23
Starbase. This is also for the Rio Grande,
30:26
Guardian. I want to give him a shout out
30:27
because there's a great article and I want to give a shout out,
30:31
hopefully people check them out. Eddie says the expectation was
30:36
we were going to have a couple of hundred jobs.
30:37
This is initially that he said this initially and we were very
30:41
excited about that. It is over 1600 jobs.
30:44
Now, plus over 6,000 indirect jobs, that's huge for camera
30:52
County. It's one of the poorest counties
30:54
in America. There's literally nothing there.
30:59
It's just a big wide open desert, kind of, I mean, I lived
31:03
there. I know, I know and I've it's
31:06
Texas. So you're far away from
31:08
everything. Like the closest little town is
31:11
like 25 miles. 25 30 miles away, and there's kind of nothing in
31:15
between you and them, except for houses and stuff.
31:18
So it's like, it took me, two days to drive out of Texas,
31:23
that's going back to New York, two days.
31:27
And it was like a seven-hour day, every, you know, served our
31:29
trip every day. So it took me a lot to take me a
31:32
while to get out of there. There's nothing down there.
31:34
So of course the environmental impact or not the environment.
31:38
The economic impact is huge 20, you know What 1600 Jobs Plus
31:45
6,000 indirect jobs about 8,000 jobs as a say that the
31:51
investment 8.1 million in sales and property taxes.
31:55
A point, 1 million dollars for camera County in Brownsville
31:57
area. Huge, we're 570 million in
32:00
compensation and benefits. Payroll 650 million in added on
32:05
production and goods over 900 million aggregate market value,
32:08
goods and services, that's huge. Huge.
32:14
And he said, during covid, Brownsville hotels, were largely
32:17
full unlike in other areas. He put this down in large part
32:21
to SpaceX and the ancillary Aerospace activity.
32:24
So basically during covid SpaceX workers, still had to come into
32:30
town. So people like myself were there
32:32
to document it and people were just there to to work, you know,
32:37
they're living in hotels of living in motels and there's a
32:40
bunch of them on the island. There's a Bunch of them, you
32:44
know, through Brownsville and that whole area.
32:47
But he says, the hotel industry didn't really suffer that much,
32:51
so that's pretty great. They filled up our hotels, they
32:56
were eating in restaurants. That's the other thing, too.
32:58
Like, the the ancillary markets. The little markets restaurants
33:04
hotels, cool. Okay, so that's great.
33:07
But you go by, guess you go into the grocery store.
33:10
You may go to a gym, you may Get a gym membership, you may
33:14
whatever you have to buy clothes.
33:15
So you go to Target Etc. So all those little Industries,
33:21
ramped up because SpaceX was there.
33:24
They filled up hotels. They were eating a restaurant.
33:25
They were supporting local businesses, they continue to
33:27
grow. It is no exaggeration to say
33:29
that the help the region get past covid at a time when
33:32
everyone else was suffering, our hotel occupancy.
33:34
Was it 90-plus percent? Yeah, insane.
33:39
Our Airlines were 80 to 90% capacity.
33:42
So it's no exaggeration to say that SpaceX has made.
33:44
Its Mark, we're really excited about what the immediate in near
33:47
future means for us. So he says between 30 and 90
33:50
days for SpaceX to launch this thing.
33:53
And I'm excited about it because I got my hotel booked, I have a
33:57
rolling Hotel date, that I'm just kind of like, I'm waiting
34:04
and I'm just I'm excited to go down there.
34:06
So I got a week at the hotel because if Something happens and
34:09
they're like, well, we're going to launch see if they launched a
34:11
life 15th, right? Or if they want to launch the
34:14
life 15th but they put it on hold for a week or for a couple
34:17
days. That's fine.
34:18
I'll still be there covering it and I'll be doing when I get
34:21
down there 24 hour stream. So make sure to subscribe to the
34:23
show. It's going to be really, really
34:27
cool in the near future for those launches to.
34:31
So I was down on the side of the road for, you know, Highway 4
34:34
for 9 months then. I can't wait to get back there.
34:37
I think it's going to be really, really great.
34:39
Wait, what do you think? The time between each launch
34:42
will be at the peak Starship recycle time J Fidel.
34:48
Peak same day, I think it's going to be same day, you know,
34:53
Yvonne once one hour, he wants it to be like an airline.
34:56
So I'm guessing Peak will be same day but the FAA has to do
35:02
licensing and stuff too. And I don't know if, you know, I
35:06
think SpaceX could do it within an hour, but also, the FAA has
35:10
to approve every single launch that they do.
35:14
And if they can figure that out, there would be really Great, but
35:18
it's a tough one because the FAA is so slow.
35:23
Don't forget the publicity increase of all the businesses
35:26
in Cameron County. Yeah, exactly.
35:27
Tech 10, exactly. They eventually want those down
35:33
and up again as fast as Ryanair. Yeah.
35:35
Yeah. Exactly.
35:35
They want them to go as soon as possible.
35:38
They want them up and down. They want to find just like an
35:41
airline Land. One refurbish it a little bit.
35:46
Put more people in it or cargo whatever and then launch another
35:50
one. That's it.
35:51
That's what they want. So that's about it for today
35:55
guys. I really do appreciate you
35:57
stopping by. Let's you know let's just hope
36:02
for SpaceX to launch this thing within the next 90 days as just
36:08
Trevino wants them to do within 30 to 90 days.
36:12
So that's about it for me today everybody I really do appreciate
36:15
the 83 likes if Just have like spam likes real quick.
36:18
Can we get to 100? Is that possible?
36:20
It's do it for one minute. Let's do a like, spam for like
36:23
one minute and see if we can get it, because I'll be amazing.
36:25
We get to 100 likes in like 60 seconds.
36:29
All right? Are we ready?
36:31
Okay, 85 likes, we need we have 86 likes.
36:35
Okay, let's spam it. Let's go.
36:38
Bob break, thank you for all you do for us.
36:40
Thank you for all you do for me. Thanks, Bob, I really do
36:43
appreciate that Super Chat. Do we have a lark?
36:46
Do Have an alert. Do we have Starship alerts?
36:49
Yes, we do. Look at that.
36:51
Oh, it's not even on the top. Hold on.
36:54
Let me get you on top here. Oh man, I can't believe I set
36:59
that up wrong. Oh and it stopped Bob Bob I'm
37:07
sorry, I didn't get you, I didn't get you man we're 98
37:11
likes to more. Can we spam it?
37:13
Just two more? They'll be amazing.
37:15
Hit the like button. KP says, I think the future
37:17
because of Starship the FAA will have to change their policy.
37:20
Yeah. In the FAA slow.
37:21
So it might be a while before they do that.
37:23
Run Trader. Hey, how's it going?
37:26
Bob Brink? Oh gee.
37:27
Bob Brink, thank you so much for your support.
37:30
I really do appreciate everything.

I couldn't have done it without you.
37:36
We're at 100 likes now. Thank you so much.
37:38
Everybody I'm guessing by 2040 SpaceX.
37:41
Will have the kind of quick cycle capability.
37:43
Thanks for the stream was very interesting and will you be
37:46
watching? SES 22 and a couple hours?
37:48
Yes, I will. I will be watching out.
