Latest / Elon Musk Podcast / A race to Orbit! SpaceX Vs. NASA
Transcript
- 0:05There's really no race between SpaceX or anybody else.
- 0:08They're doing their own thing, and the only race they have is
- 0:14the race to the moon, the hls program.
- 0:17So they have to be ready around 2024 for the hls program.
- 0:22But there's really no rush to get any sort of timeline
- 0:26underway for SpaceX to launch this thing.
- 0:30Even by the end of this year. I mean it's a 400-foot tall
- 0:34rocket. The thrust is unmatched.
- 0:37It is the biggest most amazing rocket that will ever fly when
- 0:43it does fly so there's really no reason for them to rush through
- 0:46all over these tests. Take your time, Ilan says July.
- 0:51Ilan. Also said September of last year
- 0:54when I moved to Starbase and that never happened.
- 0:58So I'm assuming some time this year.
- 1:02That's what I'm going to be. ET b d on launch time.
- 1:05Launched a TBD and I'm hoping I really am hoping That sometime
- 1:12in August, maybe September would be great too.
- 1:19That we get a launch of this thing.
- 1:20So we'll see, you know, well pretty much see what happens
- 1:24with Starship. Booster 7 ship, 24 or they're
- 1:29doing pressure tests for the next couple days.
- 1:35There's some road closures coming up.
- 1:39For let me take a look at these. Make sure they didn't change it.
- 1:43All 29th is a possible closure. The 30th possible closure, July
- 1:495th. Possible closure.
- 1:51That's an alternative date after the June 30th possible closure
- 1:55July 6. So they're going to have from
- 1:58June 30th. They're going to take a break
- 1:59for. I think they're going to take
- 2:01out like a, you know, the five day break for Independence Day
- 2:04Celebrations, and things like that from testing.
- 2:08So, if they do, Do get things done by Thursday, June 30th,
- 2:14July 5th and 6th alternative dates for possible.
- 2:18Other testing, either I'm beyond pressure tests or cryo tests.
- 2:22Moving forward and Yolanda, said, a few times that SpaceX
- 2:28doesn't intend to blast all 33 Raptors, at the same time, for a
- 2:33pressure or for a static fire test.
- 2:36So we can see in the future, I don't know if it's To be man, I
- 2:40don't know. I'm I'm I'm torn.
- 2:43What's going to happen? First?
- 2:45Are they going to be doing a static fire test before a full
- 2:50stack? So what do you guys think?
- 2:53Let me know. I know there's like 60 people
- 2:55here on the chat so let me know what you think in the chat if
- 2:57they're going to do a static fire test first, or if they're
- 3:00going to do a full stack test because without the two things
- 3:04fitting together, there's no reason to static fire them, but
- 3:10it also goes the other way. If the static Fire, doesn't even
- 3:13matter because it failed, you know, or if they, you know
- 3:16something like that, like there's no reason to stack them
- 3:18up and we've seen, you know, 420 booster for ship 20, they stack
- 3:26there was no real static fire of anything.
- 3:29I mean there were there said fire the ship and stuff but
- 3:31there was no real big-time static fire and then they stack
- 3:35them up they did a fit test that was it you know so I don't know
- 3:40what the I don't know what the series of events will be and
- 3:44we're all kind of hoping that it's a static fire because it
- 3:47would be pretty sweet to see a static fire happen but let's
- 3:51just No, we need a way to figure this one out.
- 3:54So let me know what you think in the in the chat in the comments.
- 3:59You think it'll be static fire first?
- 4:00You think they're going to do a full stack first?
- 4:01Because it would be pretty sweet to have a full stack of Starship
- 4:05again. 400 is feet, tall. The rocket for my experience at
- 4:12Starbase for hundreds of days, it's the most Immaculate thing
- 4:19I've ever seen in my life. I'm a space flight Enthusiast.
- 4:22I have been since I was a little kid, my whole family worked in
- 4:27in the industry. My dad was an engineer.
- 4:31He built parts of the Space, Shuttle parts of some other
- 4:34rockets and NASA was building my ER also worked in the industry
- 4:39and he did the same, not the same thing.
- 4:41He was an engineer. He was like a top-level engineer
- 4:44at the the company that I worked for.
- 4:48And he also worked on some early NASA stuff.
- 4:53So, It's in my blood but I really I would love to see this
- 4:58next generation of space flight happen in our lifetimes.
- 5:02You know. Like, I think it's going to be a
- 5:04long time. A very long time before we
- 5:06actually have like a sustainable moon base, you know, NASA, just
- 5:12released some figures. Let's see a couple days ago.
- 5:17Artemis, one. Launched this year hopefully.
- 5:21And Eric Berger says, they want to do it in August between the
- 5:27the August and September dates. So, SLS Black one with Orion,
- 5:33it's an uncrewed test flight around the Moon that should
- 5:37happen by the end of this year, if everything goes.
- 5:39Well, right? So if we can get the SLS rocket
- 5:43back to the Vehicle Assembly Bay, Bring it back out.
- 5:48They're not going to do another. They're not going to do any more
- 5:51tests on it. Third just going to launch it,
- 5:54which is crazy. That's the literally, the
- 5:57biggest rocket that's ever flown.
- 5:59So, if NASA gets the SLS off the pad and flying towards the Moon,
- 6:07to fly around the Moon. That'll be the biggest rocket
- 6:10ever flown. Most powerful rocket ever flown
- 6:12until Starship flies. Right?
- 6:15And it's our ship will take the lead and then we'll see what
- 6:18happens from there. They going to make a bigger star
- 6:20ship. Our is Jeff Bezos and blue
- 6:22origin going to step in and be like hey we got these be four
- 6:26engines like let's hook it up, let's make a gigantic rocket.
- 6:31Even bigger than their proposed Rockets, make it a different big
- 6:35rocket, a different big, big, big rocket, and maybe that's
- 6:39what they'll call it. The big, big big rocket.
- 6:40I'm not sure, but they will be kind of funny if they did.
- 6:45So we'll see what happens but fiscal year of 2023.
- 6:51Nothing planned for the SLS. Nothing.
- 6:53There's, there's nothing on the books.
- 6:56Artemis to in 2024, if all goes, well, SLS block 10 Ryan, there's
- 7:02going to be a crew, test flight around the moon.
- 7:03So the time between 2022 and 2024, they're going to take all
- 7:07the data from 2020 to figure out everything.
- 7:12The went wrong things that went right things they want perfect
- 7:14things, they didn't expect that were really great and things
- 7:17they didn't expect that went really bad then going to take
- 7:20all that data put it together and make fixes for the Artemis
- 7:24to Mission and also train astronauts for their crude test
- 7:28flight around the moon in 2024, if that doesn't go well, Artemis
- 7:33to could possibly be pushed back to 2025, and this is a pot of
- 7:36huge possibility because this that rocket is never flown.
- 7:42That's what I keep telling everybody.
- 7:44And people people have to kind of understand how the how the
- 7:48process works. You know.
- 7:49At some point these things are these are just test Rockets.
- 7:54There's no guarantee of anything at all.
- 7:57They've never flown before. SLS has never flown before.
- 8:00Starship has never flown before. Starship ships have flown, but a
- 8:05fully stacked Starship has never flown before.
- 8:08There's never even been a static fire of a booster with 33 Raptor
- 8:12two engines. So this is Uncharted Territory.
- 8:17This is still researching development at this point, this
- 8:20isn't a full product so seeing where they are now compared to
- 8:26where they were last year at this point, it's absolutely
- 8:28insane. But seeing where they're going
- 8:32to be a year from now compared to where they are now.
- 8:36Holy cow, it's going to be absolutely mind-bending to see
- 8:40what happens there. My plate is get back there.
- 8:44My plan is to get back down to Texas at some point.
- 8:46Probably stay a couple months, get a bunch of footage, go down
- 8:49there and just experience. Boca Chica.
- 8:52Again, I like my time there, I thought it was great.
- 8:55It's, there's, there's some people that I really enjoyed
- 9:00hanging out with down there, and that was pretty cool, but the
- 9:03cool thing was, hey, I could go see Starship any day I wanted to
- 9:07and most days I did unless it was like 105 degrees out, which
- 9:11is most which is a lot of the time.
- 9:13So you kind of have to plan either.
- 9:14Go in the morning. You're going night when it's 95
- 9:17instead of 105. So you kind of get used to the
- 9:20Heat. And then I would love to get
- 9:23back there. What's up, pretty?
- 9:24How you doing? So the, you know, the there was
- 9:30a Beyond pressure test yesterday of Starship booster 7 and
- 9:37there's possible testing all night tonight.
- 9:44So, we'll see what happens in the next couple hours.
- 9:46See what happens to Starship booster.
- 9:50This show is brought to you by backblaze, I use back place to
- 9:53back up my podcast. My video files, all of my
- 9:56writing stuff at all, my photos, and you get unlimited computer
- 9:59backup, for Macs and PCs for just $7 a month.
- 10:03You can backup your own documents photos videos.
- 10:05Drawings projects, all of your data and access your backed up
- 10:09data from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can
- 10:13access the files. Your mobile to iOS Android apps
- 10:16all covered. And this is a cool part.
- 10:18This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
- 10:20hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
- 10:23to your door. I could come to your business to
- 10:25and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
- 10:29hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
- 10:32and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
- 10:35hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
- 10:38it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files
- 10:41and you don't want to waste days and days.
- 10:44Is downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
- 10:47And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
- 10:48files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
- 10:52history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
- 10:55Files comes in super handy. So seven dollars plus two
- 10:59dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.

- 11:52Plays.com /l on backblaze.com, Ilan, backblaze.com Ilan. and
- 12:06hopefully we can get some more information about the next, you
- 12:09know, few days what's going to be happening with the test cycle
- 12:12because I go saying before, there's probably might not be a
- 12:14static fire for a little while might not be another static fire
- 12:19and it's possible that we have to wait a couple weeks for a
- 12:21static fire and that's fine when hop Early, 22 pretty.
- 12:28I have to fix it. Whoops, let's see.
- 12:32Let's see early. Let's switch it too early and
- 12:342023. I totally forgot about that one.
- 12:38Thank you for finding finding that out though.
- 12:42I'll fix that right now for you. Let's go nightbot.
- 12:50Do your thing. Alright, then we'll figure it
- 12:55out. But yeah, the if you have any
- 13:01questions, let me know. Also you know, let me know what
- 13:04you think. Let me know what you think
- 13:07about, you know, the hopped. I'm like, what are they going to
- 13:09fly this thing? Late.
- 13:15There we go. Switch early too late.
- 13:20And we will be on site. We will be on site for the
- 13:23launch of Starships. So please, if you aren't
- 13:26subscribed yet, make sure to hit the Subscribe button.
- 13:28Takes a couple seconds. It's free.
- 13:30It lets YouTube know that you're interested in Starship content
- 13:33to. So they'll funnel more Starship
- 13:35content to you, which is really neat.
- 13:37And also, if you leave a comment or chat or they'll know that
- 13:41you're more interactive with this kind of stuff in that, you
- 13:43really like Starships. So they'll funnel all the good
- 13:45Starship content to you, which is really cool.
- 13:48I do the same thing if I see you again.
- 13:49Our ship video. I'll like it.
- 13:52I give a thumbs up. It's a nice way to tell the
- 13:55Creator. Hey we appreciate you and also
- 13:57hey YouTube, I like this stuff so please feed me more and we
- 14:01love Starship stuff. So anything we can get, we're
- 14:06Starship attics. So if you can give, can we get
- 14:09up to 60 likes? Is that a possibility?
- 14:11We're at 59 right now. Could one person, hit the like
- 14:14button? Make it a round number that be
- 14:16great. Eric Burger.
- 14:19Let's see what did he say here. I'm going to, I'm going to
- 14:21quote, his tweet. From earlier.
- 14:26Got to find it though, but it's about Starship and when it'll
- 14:34launch. NASA says they plan to roll the
- 14:45SLS back to the vibe on July 1st.
- 14:48There will then be six to eight weeks of work or more.
- 14:51If inspections uncover issues. Before the SLS can be rolled
- 14:54back to the path for launch attempt.
- 14:57So we have six to eight weeks from a couple days from now.
- 15:02So today is the 28th. If we get to the 30th, then the
- 15:04next day, the first, the rolling.
- 15:07It back to the vapp July 1st will have covered to that.
- 15:09For, if it's available online. And we will see if they uncover
- 15:18any issues and then they'll move it back out from the web to the
- 15:20pad. And then from there they'll
- 15:22launch. This thing, which is pretty
- 15:24crazy. NASA's.
- 15:27Tom Whitmire says the agency is not ready to settle launched.
- 15:29It yet. More review is needed in the
- 15:31date. Likely won't be announced for a
- 15:33few weeks. The first two possible windows
- 15:35are August 23rd, through September 6th.
- 15:38So, do you think Starship will beat SLS August 23rd?
- 15:43September 6. That is if they roll this thing
- 15:46back to the web and they don't find anything crazy wrong with
- 15:49it. Could they be pushing out, SLS,
- 15:53August 23rd. Because they'd be launching it
- 15:56on August 23rd of there by somewhere around there.
- 16:00And could SpaceX possibly make it before August 23rd, they
- 16:06still have to do a full stack Starships.
- 16:09Let's do a full stack. They have to do pressure
- 16:13testing. They have to basically test all
- 16:16the pipes as well for the internal the internals of
- 16:20Starship and the internals of the booster, they have to test
- 16:25the internals when booster and Starship or stacked, they have
- 16:29to Possibly another cryo test, a full stack cryo test, they have
- 16:33passed we have to do another cryo test of booster.
- 16:41And there's a possibility that in the future, you know, they're
- 16:45going to have to do, more pressure test, they're going to
- 16:47have to do more cryo test. They could fail a test, you
- 16:51know. So there's a possibility.
- 16:53Starship could be postponed until later this year, which is
- 16:56fine. You know, I'm not urgent about
- 16:59this. I'm anxious to see this thing
- 17:01fly. I think would be really great if
- 17:03this thing flew. But there's a possibility that
- 17:05we don't even get a launch of Starship until next year.
- 17:09It's a, it's a, it's a chance that we don't get a launch of
- 17:13Starship. Till next year Ilan said,
- 17:16booster and ship will be ready by July and that's totally,
- 17:21totally. Okay, you know, could Starship
- 17:25fly in July. We don't know exactly what's
- 17:28going on with the pad either. Is the pad 100% done?
- 17:31Is it close enough to being done that?
- 17:34They could launch with it from what we've seen?
- 17:36They're getting, you know, as close as possible to.
- 17:39To a full launch. Launched our launch pad and the
- 17:45QT arm, you know, they always do test of the QT arm, and the lift
- 17:49arms, while there, while they're waiting for other tests to
- 17:52happen, and they schedule those things.
- 17:54So, You know, we could have, we could have a launch in July, I'm
- 18:00guessing. So this is my guests.
- 18:01Personally, I'm thinking September or October of this
- 18:04year, September October this year, I think, and this is a,
- 18:08this is a, this is not going to be good for a Starship, Starship
- 18:12daily stream here, but I think SLS is going to be Starship to
- 18:18orbit. I think it's going to beat it
- 18:20and I don't I'm a fan of both. I'm a fan of Rocket flight, you
- 18:23know, spaceflight. So Me saying that SLS is might
- 18:28beat Starship to orbit, isn't anything against Starship.
- 18:32It's just that SLS has a has done everything.
- 18:36They need to do, and they have a few small things to fix up
- 18:39before they actually launch it. So, you know, they verified the
- 18:48function of the interfaces, between the Orion in the ground
- 18:50systems, they verified the function of interfaces between
- 18:54the SLS core stage in There's with the ground systems, they
- 18:57verified the function of interfaces.
- 18:59Between the SLS upper stage with the ground systems.
- 19:03They verified the function of interfaces throughout the
- 19:05integrated SLS, and Orion with the ground systems.
- 19:10Integrate the test of all SLS, and Orion critical communication
- 19:13systems. They've tested the countdown
- 19:16commanding sequence with simulated countdown before
- 19:18rolling to the launch pad. They've checked out the various
- 19:21SLS systems functions. They've checked out the SLS and
- 19:25Orion functionality with Launchpad systems before.
- 19:28And after rollout, they demonstrate a tanking and D
- 19:31tanking SLS with cryogenic propellants at the launch pad
- 19:36and the only thing that they need to do, as far as I know, Is
- 19:40test and install the flight, termination system, the FTS.
- 19:45So there's a possibility that all they have to do.
- 19:49Is take this thing, back to the web, do a few changes, and then
- 19:53bring it back, or take it to the, yeah, to the value of the,
- 19:57bring it back to the pad. So I'll so let's Artemis.
- 20:00One may fly before Starship have the FAA finally given the
- 20:04all-clear been away Deb's, they have done the they've cleared
- 20:07environmental so far. The FAA has not cleared them for
- 20:11flight for a Starship. Yeah.
- 20:18And the other thing about SLS is that the srbs they go stale.
- 20:23Which could delay the flight to and I'm not exactly sure the
- 20:26time of the when these SRB rocket engines go stale but they
- 20:31do have a shelf date which is weird.
- 20:34You wouldn't think that a rocket would have a shelf date but they
- 20:36do. I'm not exactly sure what that
- 20:38shelf data is so I'll have 20 have to see But this is an
- 20:47uncrewed flight around the Moon and back.
- 20:49So, There's no launch date quite yet, but there's a possibility
- 20:57that we get it, you know, we get it.
- 21:02Before we get Starship. But they're making progress.
- 21:10Starship is making progress. Since they move the booster from
- 21:16the bay to the pad. I'm just 32 or 33 Raptor two
- 21:20engines. It was crazy.
- 21:25This is this is an insane feet. Super, heavy rocket lifted by
- 21:31Mechagodzilla. Now we know that the Mecha Zilla
- 21:34arms can can pick up a full booster.
- 21:39Full of raptor. 2's 33, Raptor twos. so, if the booster
- 21:47survives, the pressure tests and potential static fires coming
- 21:50up, You know, it's possible that the Raptor two engines are good
- 21:58and we'll see what happens. You know, we'll see what
- 22:03happens. And if the sapphire is perfect,
- 22:06these Raptor to is, as much as they're better, than the Raptor
- 22:10ones there a better design, their sleeker design, less
- 22:13moving Parts. Everything is more integrated,
- 22:15more thrust, it's a better engine altogether.
- 22:19Now, if something happens to the Raptor to engines that was if
- 22:22something were to happen, Happened during these static
- 22:24fires. They would have to postpone
- 22:28another static fire until they figure out what went wrong with
- 22:31these engines. And by the way, this is an R&D
- 22:34Mission. So research and development for
- 22:37Starship. You know, the, the timeline is
- 22:42very flexible. So as much as Elon loves to push
- 22:47people to do work, very fast and work very hard.
- 22:53Starship. You know, might not launch till
- 22:56next year. Well, the tile stay on after a
- 22:58static fire. That's another thing.
- 23:00Will the tile stay on of ship 24.
- 23:09During the static fire will it shake it enough that the that
- 23:13the heat title stay on? And the answer is maybe I guess
- 23:18at this point because we don't really know because it's never
- 23:22static. Fired Raptor to is on that
- 23:24thing. A full ensemble.
- 23:31Of raptor to. So there's still a lot of work
- 23:33to do. You know what are they going to
- 23:36bring ship 24 down to the pad? You know, we believe the Raptors
- 23:42are almost installed ship 24. So it could be the next few days
- 23:47that all the Raptors installed could be possibly tonight.
- 23:51And then since since the booster is going through a lot of tests,
- 23:57there's no overpressure warnings quite yet.
- 24:00So, we don't think there's going to be a static fire.
- 24:03Because I usually do that at least one day before hand before
- 24:07the, the static fire test. So we don't think it's going to
- 24:09happen this week, but if it's possible for it to happen in the
- 24:14next in the next two weeks will, they risk ship 24 down to the
- 24:20pad? No.
- 24:21Why would they bring ship 24 down there?
- 24:24If something were to happen to the booster.
- 24:27Booster 7, you know, If something they have a red on the
- 24:32pad, something goes horribly wrong.
- 24:37And debris hits the ship, you know, they don't know if they're
- 24:42going to risk it. I mean it's pretty far away.
- 24:44You can you can put a ship down there in a booster down there,
- 24:47they're pretty far away, but if it were a catastrophic Rudd,
- 24:51It's something were to just everything goes wrong.
- 24:55You know, shrapnel everywhere. There's been reports of
- 24:59shrapnel, 7 miles away. On the beach.
- 25:06Of South Padre Island. From an earlier, I think it was
- 25:11maybe a ship eight, maybe eight or nine.
- 25:14I can't remember which one it was off the top of my head.
- 25:18But there were, there were reports that there was trapped
- 25:20null on the beach from one of these rods seven miles away.
- 25:25So maybe they should keep it in the bay while they do these the
- 25:29static fire, you know what I'm saying?
- 25:31Like that makes sense that would make a little bit more sense.
- 25:35I'm glad everybody's here today. Thank you so much for the 72
- 25:38likes. I really do.
- 25:38Appreciate 873 likes that just happened.
- 25:41I appreciate all of your support, guys, I really do.
- 25:45I've been doing this channel for about three and a half years.
- 25:47I had to take a quick break for the last month.
- 25:50It kind of slowed down a little bit.
- 25:52I've been Bri I moved back up north from Texas from Starbase
- 25:58to New York again. I'm taking care of my dad and so
- 26:03I had to kind of get everything in line.
- 26:05So I appreciate everybody stopping by and hanging out and
- 26:07being part of this community because cuz we're growing 88,000
- 26:10members or subscribers, I should say not members because that
- 26:13would be insane amount of members 88 thousand subscribers.
- 26:19And I appreciate every single one of you.
- 26:20So if you want to, if you want to support spaceflight
- 26:23journalism, independent, spaceflight journalism, I'm a
- 26:27solo operation here. Been doing it for three and a
- 26:29half years. Like I said, started with
- 26:31nothing and you know, have a pretty cool thing going on now.
- 26:35So thank you everybody for all that support.
- 26:37If you want to support its give it a like.
- 26:39That's it, maybe had a sucker up, subscribe button, takes a
- 26:41second and also shows YouTube that you're interested in space
- 26:46flight content. So thanks everybody for all your
- 26:49support, Ron Trader, what's up? How you doing today, man, we are
- 26:54in the myths of possible testing today.
- 27:00Of. Booster.
- 27:08Booster 7. Looks like the taint tag farbe
- 27:22right now is spooled up. The roads are closed.
- 27:30Looks like they're going to be doing another on be on pressure
- 27:32test at this point. There's still cranes at the
- 27:37booster though, which is a weird thing, a human crane a human
- 27:48lift. usually they bring all those
- 28:01things down, while they're doing these tests, they could be doing
- 28:05pressure test for something else as well, you know, looks like we
- 28:18have some booster. Seven venting as well.
- 28:23So it looks like they're doing some pressure test at this
- 28:25point. Don't see much cryofreeze don't
- 28:28see any cryofreeze actually at this point.
- 28:30So I don't think it's going to be cryo Wing right away.
- 28:34Could just be a pressure test. like I was saying before, you
- 28:41know, these things take time I've seen I've seen boosters
- 28:45with my own eyes tested for 34 weeks, just to test the tanks,
- 28:52you know, test to test the the pipes, the piping, you know,
- 28:56everything from the tank farm that goes to the booster.
- 29:00That goes to Launched our launch table.
- 29:06It's an impressive, impressive feat of engineering, holy cow.
- 29:11You're fantastic run. That's great.
- 29:16That's great. I am doing great actually
- 29:20Ronnie. I had a had a nice walk for
- 29:23lunch, which is pretty cool. And it look nice.
- 29:25Lawn chair launch of a walk for lunch.
- 29:27I had like a mile-and-a-half walk, which is pretty cool and
- 29:32trying to get in shape to. So this is a little side note
- 29:34from rocket stuff, but I bought myself a bike because I want to
- 29:39get in shape and I enjoy I enjoy fast, scary things.
- 29:47So getting them I got a mountain bike.
- 29:48Well, it's a trail bike but it has shocks and stuff.
- 29:50So yeah, one of those, it's pretty cool.
- 29:53So I'm doing great. Thank you, thank you for asking
- 29:55tecton. What's up from Sweden?
- 29:57Yes. Very cool.
- 30:02Very, very cool. Can you imagine the pressure?
- 30:05That's going to be on the bottom tank.
- 30:07When 33 those things light up. Oh my gosh.
- 30:10So that's the other thing. There's so much, there's so much
- 30:14going on internally for in Starship.
- 30:20That the thing has to has to withstand the highest thrust of
- 30:27anything ever that's flown to space.
- 30:32So it has to withstand that and the tanks inside.
- 30:36Like, all the things inside of it, have to withstand the
- 30:41engines pushing it up, you know, is it strong enough to withhold
- 30:46that that Force that's going? Yup.
- 30:49It's crazy. How much force that's going to
- 30:52be? And if it's possible, I mean
- 30:57it's going to be an insane. Cool thing to watch.
- 31:00I'm going to, I'm going to be there in person.
- 31:02I have to be there in person. If I don't get there it's going
- 31:05to be the biggest letdown of my life I think.
- 31:08Because I spent so much time on this and I got to see this
- 31:12launch pad and the SLS launch. I'm planning on an SLS launch
- 31:16to. So if you guys want to see that,
- 31:18please make sure to give me a like because I'm working on it.
- 31:21I'm working on all the logistics.
- 31:24We're going to all the logistics.
- 31:25Now to get to the SLS launch and we're figuring out where to stay
- 31:29figuring out what to do. I know a cool little hotel that
- 31:34I really enjoyed staying. At last time I was down there
- 31:36for the Star Lake launch. Our the asari the crew to launch
- 31:41and I'm going to stay at the hotel again in.
- 31:46There's a really cool viewing area that I found this pretty
- 31:49neat. So I might I don't know if I can
- 31:51camp there but I would rather camp at that place.
- 31:54But I don't know if that's a possibility.
- 31:59I might just sleep in my car, I don't know.
- 32:01I don't know if I can overnight sleep in my car, but I would
- 32:03love to sleep in my car depending on when this launch is
- 32:05going to be. But the time he's going to be
- 32:09for SLS. Is there some test SpaceX has to
- 32:14do before they start the static fires of booster number 7?
- 32:20Yeah I believe they're going to have to do basically a whole
- 32:23battery of tests. Again looking have to do
- 32:25everything they did before the engines were installed, I think
- 32:29they're going to have to do it again.
- 32:30So they're going to do ambient pressure test, they're going to
- 32:31do cryo tests and things like that.
- 32:35And then they're going to have to of course, to ignite or
- 32:40tests. So I think they're going to have
- 32:43to do a whole battery of at of testing before they actually do
- 32:46the stack fire, booster seven just to make sure all the pipes
- 32:49work, just to make sure everything flows properly.
- 32:53Anything specific due to the engines, nothing that I know of
- 33:00other than the same things that they've done before for other
- 33:02static fires, So, basically what I say before cryogenic tests,
- 33:08pressure tests, and load tests things like that.
- 33:12So I think, I think those were we're looking forward to detect
- 33:15them. I think it's going to be those,
- 33:18those few tests which could take weeks.
- 33:22So Ilan, said, it'll be ready by July.
- 33:25And I think what he's saying is look, we have this rocket and I
- 33:29believe it's ready to fly. We just have to do the tests.
- 33:33So the way he worded it was, It was very easy Lonnie Alanis.
- 33:39Esque is a good way, to put Ilan esque seal on time, right?
- 33:44So when he says something is ready by July, he think he knows
- 33:50that the rocket is ready itself. You know, it's built, it's
- 33:55ready. It's going to go to the pad.
- 33:57It's going to do some testing but how long were those tests
- 34:00take? Cryo proved tests, possibly take
- 34:05four days, you know. So that's at least a week of
- 34:09cryo tests just for the booster to.
- 34:13So, and I'm trying to be realistic with you guys because
- 34:15I think I think you deserve it. I think you need somebody, you
- 34:19don't need somebody, but I think there should be somebody out
- 34:22there that Tells it like it is and tells it how, you know, how
- 34:26things will probably will probably happen due to the
- 34:29history of things that have happened in the past.
- 34:34So I what I think is going to happen is they're going to do.
- 34:39Pressure tests because that's what they've done in the past
- 34:42the pressure test, after they put the engines on, have to make
- 34:45sure every single system works every single system, they have
- 34:49to test all the computer systems that talk from the bay where
- 34:57they control stuff to the rocket, have to test all that
- 35:00stuff. They have to test.
- 35:05All the lines from the tank farm the go into a booster.
- 35:10Everything it needs to be tested though, it was tested before, it
- 35:14needs to be tested again because if something were to happen due
- 35:18to a failed test or just something not being tested in
- 35:22the right amount of time and something, you know, they just
- 35:25didn't check it out, then it could be catastrophic and they
- 35:28could read this thing on the pad and that's not a good thing.
- 35:32So checking All the piping from the tank farm to the booster.
- 35:39Everything every single switch, every single gasket, everything
- 35:42has to be checked, maintained and checked again.
- 35:47So I think that's going to happen and I think they're going
- 35:50to move on from that to a cryo test.
- 35:51That may only take a couple days, you know like the the
- 35:54ambient pressure test, could only take a couple days that a
- 35:56cry or a pressure test last night.
- 36:01So today, I believe they're going to be doing the same
- 36:03thing. Something similar at least.
- 36:10Yeah, so cryo test from last night and then they did some
- 36:14venting. So I think what they're going to
- 36:16do is I think they're going to do kind of the same test today.
- 36:19I think they're going to take the same procedures as they did.
- 36:24Yesterday, do it again, just to make sure for redundancy sake.
- 36:30And then from there, move on to the next set of tests.
- 36:33So right now we have You know, the cryo test that happened last
- 36:38night. Pressure tests and then we'll
- 36:43move on to a cryo test. Next, and these these tests is
- 36:46possible. They find something that's kind
- 36:47of a little bit weird with it. With the tests with a booster or
- 36:51with any any pipe, anything in between that the thing is
- 36:54massive. So in there's just miles of
- 36:57cables and pipes down there and the things that you don't see
- 37:01the Ground Control Systems. Those things are being tested as
- 37:04well. It looks like booster sevens
- 37:07venting again right now as we speak during the The.
- 37:12I believe it's a pressure, test is happening right now some sort
- 37:14of cry or a pressure test but they're loading cryogenic Fuel
- 37:20and pressure pressurizing. So I think what's going to
- 37:24happen next is a cryo test, a full full booster cryo test.
- 37:28If to make sure that works, they may do a few of those in that
- 37:31may take a week, possibly two Possibly too.
- 37:36I always say possibly too because if something is a little
- 37:39bit off during the first one, like if there's any sort of
- 37:41anomaly, they have to check it. And they have to make sure that
- 37:44they figure it out. And these people are working
- 37:4624/7. So they have Crews there all the
- 37:50time. You know, all the time.
- 37:55So there's people literally I went there at 3:00 in the
- 37:59morning, one night, just to see what it was like to be there at
- 38:013:00 in the morning and I was just I was alone on the side of
- 38:05the road and I had my camera and I was filming a little bit and I
- 38:10was like you know I'm going to put my camera away, this is just
- 38:14good. Like I just want to be here and
- 38:17I want to be in the moment. I don't want to do any work, you
- 38:19know. It's like I come down here every
- 38:21day and I do it as a, you know, as a As a job.
- 38:26I guess, that a job. I love to do it.
- 38:27So it wouldn't seem like a test or like a job, but I would come
- 38:31down there every day and would film and stuff.
- 38:34It was like, 3:00 in the morning and I just hung out for a while,
- 38:37but there were people in and out of there all the time, there's
- 38:41photographers there all the time, there's robots filming all
- 38:44the time. So, There's people constantly
- 38:50moving in and out of this place and it's really cool.
- 38:53It's really cool to see. But if they do pressure test
- 39:00this week, if they get them done today's Tuesday.
- 39:03So it's a possibility that they could get all their pressure
- 39:07test done by the 1st of July or all their.
- 39:11Yeah, all the pressure tests. All the load tests done by the
- 39:131st of July, if they rush through it, I mean there's Some
- 39:18road closures coming up. Like I was saying before there's
- 39:20some road closures for testing Wednesday, Thursday.
- 39:26Then if they get this done by Thursday, does it possible
- 39:30closure on Thursday the primary date but then they have from
- 39:33Thursday until July 5th. So, June 30th to July 5th.
- 39:39There's not going to be any testing because there's no road
- 39:41closures. As far as we know, they may
- 39:45change that, but I think what's going to happen is, you know,
- 39:48there's such a life for thing going on.
- 39:50There's like, you know, people are going to be partying, it's a
- 39:52whole thing. But also around this time is
- 39:55when Boca Chica Beach gets very busy because of the Fourth of
- 39:59July people are on vacation. So people go to Boca Chica Beach
- 40:04to be at the beach in. There's a possibility that the
- 40:06Elan and SpaceX worked with Cameron County.
- 40:11To not have any testing going on between June 30th in July 5th,
- 40:15for the Fourth of July holiday. So if they don't get testing
- 40:20done the 30th of this month, they're going to have to wait
- 40:25about a week till July 4th 5th for all this stuff.
- 40:30Yeah, it's going to be, it's going to be little bit, it's
- 40:34going to be a little bit but then they have to know they have
- 40:36to do pressure test. They have to do protest.
- 40:38Like I said before then they have Do that same sort of thing
- 40:43with ship as well but I don't think we're going to get a
- 40:46static fire until later in July and I don't I don't know when
- 40:54that's going to be. I wish I had a timeline for your
- 40:56everybody here but I think it's going to be later.
- 41:01Passed the 15th of July for either ignite and like an
- 41:05ignition tests first and then a static fire of a few engines.
- 41:11And then they're going to I think they're going to ramp it
- 41:13up from there and then start going Buck Wild after they have
- 41:17all the all the cryo tests and stuff done.
- 41:19So in and out says what's the current thinking on Starships
- 41:25earlier commercial missions? Starlink government Etc.
- 41:30There's a whole whole video I did about Starship and the
- 41:36Department of Defense the other day.
- 41:38It's like a 10-minute 13-minute video or something.
- 41:40Check that out. If you're interested in the
- 41:42Department of Defense and Starship, because the Department
- 41:46of Defense is really interested in Starship, for numerous
- 41:49reasons. Mainly because it can transport
- 41:53things across the world in like an hour, you know?
- 41:57So whether it's tanks, whether it's, you know, anything the
- 42:01size of a bus Starship can be configured to transport them.
- 42:08So if you think about humanitarian Aid, Department of
- 42:11Defense stuff can bring in supplies to.
- 42:17You Know, Two Soldiers to people peacekeeping soldiers across the
- 42:21world in an hour or two and 737s or like a big, a big plane would
- 42:27take all day to get there, you know?
- 42:30So it's possible that they could use a Starship for those kind of
- 42:34things and deploy land either land a Starship or is this going
- 42:40to be possible. So I thought about this too and
- 42:42there's this is a wild sci-fi thing. and if you think about
- 42:45this for a second, this might be might be an interesting way to
- 42:49deploy not troops, because I think it'd be too much for
- 42:54troops, but a way to deploy supplies And this is this is
- 42:59crazy if you think about it, but think about Starship getting to
- 43:03orbit. But you know how there's the
- 43:05configuration for Starship where the lid pops up and opens and
- 43:12see. Davis, thank you so much for
- 43:14that. August 26, launch date.
- 43:17Three dollar. Super Chat.
- 43:18Thank you so much for that over under August 26.
- 43:23Launch date. I think it's going to be after
- 43:25August 26th. Sometime after.
- 43:30Sometime after. But think about this and see
- 43:37Davis, thanks again for that. I really do appreciate that.
- 43:39That keeps the channel going, and if you want to keep the
- 43:42channel going and if you want to have conversations like this, if
- 43:45you don't want a super chat, if you can't Super Chat, give a
- 43:48thumbs up. Give a like to the video, really
- 43:51helps out a ton shows YouTube that you're interested in
- 43:53Starship, content and shows YouTube, that you're interested
- 43:56and hanging out here. So thank you, I really do
- 43:59appreciate you and let's get back on topic here.
- 44:02Let's talk about the department of Let's think about this for a
- 44:04second. What if you have to have a huge
- 44:09amount of things that you have to transport across the Earth in
- 44:12a rapid amount of time? You know, it needs to be there
- 44:16within a day and a half and you have to load it into a Starship,
- 44:21everything has to be in there and you have to land it within a
- 44:24day and a half or something horrible happens.
- 44:27Wherever you know, whatever it could be scenario, Starship
- 44:31launches to orbit. And the front of Starship, the
- 44:36flip-top. If I don't know if you seen the
- 44:38videos on SpaceX is website, those animations of like the the
- 44:43flood the front of this thing opening up to deploy satellites
- 44:46excetera It's possible that they could deploy supplies in some
- 44:52sort of container with a parachute with star bricks on
- 44:58the bottom of it and it could enter the atmosphere in land
- 45:02sort of like they do with a crewed mission, they could land
- 45:06in the ocean. They could come and get it.
- 45:08You know, they could go get it or they can land on land.
- 45:10Like they do with some With some human missions.
- 45:15So is that a possibility? I think the Department of
- 45:20Defense is interested in something like that too, because
- 45:22it would only take hours to get across the Earth, you know, as
- 45:25opposed to, you know, three, four days.
- 45:28So, I think the Department of Defense is very interested in
- 45:31Starship because if you could deploy that much gear.
- 45:36So rapidly instead of the supply chain of from Base to Base to
- 45:41Base across the Earth, if it's just luck.
- 45:43We got one giant Base in Texas or wherever and we want to
- 45:48launch star ships from there or you know, Florida wherever
- 45:53there's a possibility that the space force could launch
- 45:56starships as a war machine. So think about that for a
- 46:03second. How how interesting is that as a
- 46:06as a way to transport Goods. Not only just for war but also
- 46:10if something happens if there's a flood or if there's a disaster
- 46:15of some sort of an earthquake and you need tons and tons of
- 46:18cargo to get there, immediately, food and water and supplies to
- 46:22keep these people alive. Send a Starship full.
- 46:26You know, send a full Starship of goodies to those people.
- 46:31Take a, take a couple hours, you know, as opposed to a day, you
- 46:36know, and people's lives get saved because you're sending
- 46:39that so fast. So there's a, there's a
- 46:42possibility. Now starlink?
- 46:43Yeah, send it up there, as soon as possible.
- 46:48I think the first Starship mission I think there might try
- 46:54a starlink deployment if all goes well but it's not
- 46:58guaranteed you know. So there's a possibility that
- 47:02they do a Starship deployment. I'm not sure.
- 47:04I'm not sure or a star like deployment I'm not sure.
- 47:07I hope they do. I think that'd be pretty
- 47:09interesting. We all saw the, we all saw the
- 47:12Pez dispenser. On elon's tweet there.
- 47:18So it looks like it's possible looks like they're into it, you
- 47:20know. Tecton says, Starship or SLS
- 47:28launch first talked about this a little bit earlier.
- 47:31I'm going SLS. I'm going to SLS.
- 47:36Now, because I don't like Starship because I love
- 47:37Starship. But I think SLS is further
- 47:42along. There's not much left to do on
- 47:45SLS before. Before they can launch it, you
- 47:49know, they're just taking it back into the Vehicle, Assembly
- 47:51Bay, and then bring it back out basically.
- 47:56Late August. August 23rd, July 26, through
- 48:02August 10th is one of the launch opportunities, but I think
- 48:04they're going to do August 23rd, through September 6, those those
- 48:07opportunities. Here's your freedom package.
- 48:11Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think they're going to
- 48:13need a Starship for that attack. Then I think they're going to
- 48:16need like I think they already have that covered.
- 48:28Well, if they connect, 33, Raptors directly to the tank
- 48:30farm, that's a good. That's a, that's a good
- 48:36question. I don't know, to be honest with
- 48:37you. I do, they need to set up an
- 48:42overpressure warning when they test the igniters.
- 48:45I don't believe so because they did one the other day.
- 48:49They didn't igniter test the other day and I was just late at
- 48:51night. It was just a quick there's no
- 48:53fuel. They just test the igniter.
- 48:55So I don't think there's no no reason to have a pressure
- 48:59warning so I think if they're going to do a another igniter
- 49:05test, it'll just be a quick chunk chunk chunk and then it's
- 49:08done. Now we're in 97 likes three
- 49:21more, we hit 100, I would love that.
- 49:24That would be really, really helpful for the channel.
- 49:25Really helpful for me to continue doing coverage like
- 49:28this about Starship. And the continuing progression
- 49:34of SpaceX down in Boca Chica Beach at Starbase Texas.
- 49:45Possible closures road closures, coming up meeting possible
- 49:48tests, coming up, June 29th, June 30th, July 5th, and July
- 49:536th. If they get done, what they need
- 50:00to get done today, possibly no testing tomorrow and then
- 50:05they'll move on to Thursday, June 30th.
- 50:19Again, thank you so much for all the Lakes, it's really helpful.
- 50:22I mean, they're the free they take a second and thanks to all
- 50:26the new subscribers today to. Thank you so much for everybody
- 50:28who's helped out. And Deb Hall.
- 50:32Thanks for the super chant and, and see Davis.
- 50:35Thanks for the Super Chat as well.
- 50:36Appreciate you. Very happy to be here.
- 50:41If you have any questions, make sure to chat them up.
- 50:45How many KFC Wings could you launch to my backyard?
- 50:47I'm sorry, not enough, and not enough screaming in my basement.
- 50:53Hey, I have heard Ilan has done some things.
- 50:55I know he's not perfect, but do you think he's not a bad guy?
- 50:58I don't believe that that flight attendant thing because there
- 51:01was no evidence as of, I know, so anything like that, like the
- 51:06flight attendant stuff, I don't know anything.
- 51:08Like I don't know, personally, anything about it.
- 51:10So I can't really talk about it. I can't speak on it because I
- 51:13wasn't there basically. Ali.
- 51:15So so here's my take on Ilan. If you guys want to know my
- 51:21honest answer about Elam. We made 100 like so thank you
- 51:24before I get in that. Thank you so much for everybody.
- 51:26Who's like the video today, like the stream commentary will
- 51:29continue. And I still doing pressure
- 51:33testing, and loading up some stuff right now on booster 700
- 51:39likes. Wow, that's so cool.
- 51:41Thank you everybody. So here's the here's the thing
- 51:46about Elon Elon is a force of nature.
- 51:51Ilan is unlike anybody else out there right now, he's very
- 51:55driven, he works constantly. He like, you know, there's
- 52:00there's times where he said he's slept on the floor at SpaceX, he
- 52:04slept on the floor, it at Tesla to get things done, you know, he
- 52:08knew that he had, he only had x amount of time to get things
- 52:12done and if he slept on the floor, then he could get those
- 52:15things done. So There was a, you know there's
- 52:20a couple articles written about Elon that were saying you know
- 52:25the he's a horrible human being. There's all sorts of all sorts
- 52:28of things like that coming out of it, against him, tons of
- 52:30smear articles smear campaigns against him.
- 52:34Of course, people click on them, it makes you have to think about
- 52:37the motivation for those people too.
- 52:40You click on a headline because you're like, oh I'm so mad.
- 52:43You know, why do you think social media exists?
- 52:45It doesn't exist anymore. In the pure form that it used to
- 52:49be social media used to be about sharing ideas.
- 52:52The internet used to be about sharing ideas information and,
- 52:57you know, just like papers newspapers and news Channels
- 53:02used to do all the time. There is, you know, extra extra,
- 53:06read all about it. You've heard that saying before.
- 53:08Hopefully these people would say that, you know, the the Newsboys
- 53:14would say that because they had to get your attention, they were
- 53:17trying to sell a paper and the more outlandish, the headlines
- 53:20were the more you would buy that paper in the more money that
- 53:24that paper would make a news Outlet.
- 53:26So I'm trying to make these big headlines their make these
- 53:30outrageous claims And people do that all the time with with
- 53:35people in the public eye, you know, you seen it about
- 53:40everything like the the Johnny Depp Amber Heard thing.
- 53:43Like there were so many negative articles about both of them into
- 53:48smear campaigns for both of them and it's like they're those
- 53:54papers don't care like the the news, our Outlets don't care
- 53:57about that story, they just care about the clicks that go to
- 54:01their site. Because every click the comes
- 54:03through every tent, every one thousand clicks that come
- 54:06through, they make $12, or whatever, you know, whatever it
- 54:08is. So they're CPM possibly is
- 54:11pretty high. If they get in, if they get
- 54:12millions of views per day to one of those articles, they're
- 54:16making bank, man, they're making bank, they're paying, they're
- 54:19putting people on payroll, they're given the executives
- 54:21raises, they're making tons of money.
- 54:24So, the thing, the negative things about Ilan, I'm always
- 54:27kind of hesitant to believe any of them until they're proven
- 54:31positive. Positive.
- 54:33You know if somebody somebody comes out with a claim about
- 54:35deal and I'm just going to wait till it kind of they figure it
- 54:39out. And then once they do figure it
- 54:42out, then I'll be like, oh yeah, that happened.
- 54:45But I can't really say anything about him as a person.
- 54:48He seems like he's an okay dude like I would hang out with them.
- 54:52I feel like an idiot because he's super smart.
- 54:55I'm saying like I couldn't even, I could probably carry on a
- 54:58little conversation with him about Rockets, but my
- 55:00conversation to him would be like, hey, dude, how cool is it?
- 55:05That you have a giant rocket? Like how cool is it?
- 55:08That we're going to go to Mars someday.
- 55:10Like people are going to go to Mars.
- 55:11That's pretty sweet, right? Like that's my conversation with
- 55:14Elon and then he'd be like, yeah, you know, he'd probably
- 55:17look at me like an idiot. It's be like, all right.
- 55:21All right man, this is not cool that I would just feel so weird.
- 55:24Like I'm awkward anyway, like in, you know, In social
- 55:30situations, I'm pretty awkward. So being in an awkward
- 55:33conversation with another awkward person, you know it's
- 55:36pretty awkward but not knowing the things that he knows and
- 55:41being you know in a conversation with somebody pretty much the
- 55:45most powerful person on Earth. That's not a leader of a
- 55:49country. It would be it would be
- 55:55intimidating, but I think I would shake his hand, you know,
- 55:58like if I met him and I would shake his hand and say, hey,
- 56:01thanks for doing what you're doing.
- 56:02I think it's pretty cool. Can I get a selfie?
- 56:08That's pretty much it. I feel like a kind of get us.
- 56:09I think it was pretty cool to get a selfie and then that's all
- 56:14that as far as we go. But as a person, I don't know.
- 56:17Like, I don't know how he is, he has a bunch of Different
- 56:20personas, he has his, you know, we're going to Mars.
- 56:26And we're doing all the cool things to go to Mars.
- 56:28Everything's cool. And then you know there's the
- 56:33other part of him that's like we're going to fire people.
- 56:37If they don't come to work 40 hours a week, like these are the
- 56:40rules of the company and if you don't abide by those rules, you
- 56:42get fired but that's exactly how every other company works.
- 56:48You know what I'm saying? Like it doesn't make any sense
- 56:51because and that was just recently, that Ilan said that
- 56:54about SpaceX and about Tesla. It's like, hey, you got to be in
- 56:56your office 40 hours a week. It's like, yeah.
- 56:59If I was working at any other company and they said that, I'd
- 57:02be like, oh yeah I don't want to lose my job like I'm going, I'm
- 57:07going to work, you know, I'm not going to be a baby about it.
- 57:11Like, dude, I got this cool opportunity to be part of the
- 57:14future of humanity. Of course, I'm going to go back
- 57:17to work. I kind of like the office.
- 57:20It makes me feel less awkward because I'm around people and I
- 57:22get used to people, so it's kind of nice to be in an office, but
- 57:27also some people were kind of, you know, the lead engineers and
- 57:31stuff for like, how you actually get more done when I'm working
- 57:33at home. Why can't I work at home?
- 57:36Which totally makes sense because I'm the same way.
- 57:38If I go into an office, there's all sorts of other distractions.
- 57:40People come over your desk all day.
- 57:42You know, they tap me on the shoulder and go, hey, can you be
- 57:44talk real quick about something and then they put you in a
- 57:47meeting for like 30. Minutes, when the meeting could
- 57:50have just been a text or a chat? Yeah, those kind of things
- 57:53happen and then you're like, what.
- 57:54So now I got to stay an extra 30 minutes to make up the work that
- 57:59because you don't know how to communicate.
- 58:01I have to go into an office with you.
- 58:04So I can understand why people would be upset about that
- 58:08because I kind of would be too to be honest with you.
- 58:14Yeah. What if the only reason Elon is
- 58:15making space S is to talk with alien friends from Alpha. a
- 58:18century, it's possible, you know, it's possible that we
- 58:21could eventually see Communication with aliens.
- 58:26I mean, I don't put it out of the realm of possibilities.
- 58:29I mean, is this a possibility of all that stuff is there?
- 58:34Proof though, did it at edit. Edit, edit edit edit.
- 58:39That's the X-Files theme song by the way.
- 58:43I don't know. I don't know.
- 58:46So we'll see what happens. I mean is it possible that star
- 58:48ship could launch something towards Alpha Century?
- 58:51Yeah, totally Is Starship going to make it to alphas and Sheree?
- 58:56That would be sweet. That would be really, really
- 58:58cool. If that were to happen.
- 59:00If we were to launch a full Starship, Alpha Centauri, it
- 59:03would take a while to get there. I think it's what a hundred
- 59:04light years away or something. Or is it?
- 59:06It's not that far, right? How many light years and years
- 59:10is Alpha sin Cherie? So it's only four point three,
- 59:17six, seven light years away. How long would that take?
- 59:22How long long to gets to Alpha Centauri?
- 59:32It's 40 trillion kilometers away.
- 59:34The fastest spacecraft ever. Launched NASA's German Helios
- 59:37probes. Troubled, 250 thousand
- 59:39kilometers per hour at that speed.
- 59:40It takes what take the probe 18,000 years.
- 59:45If he's used a Starship to get to Elvis Century to talk to his
- 59:49buddies. He loves going to be really old
- 59:52by the time he gets there, he needs to go home 18000 years.
- 1:00:02Holy cow. That's insane.
- 1:00:06That's so much time that summer time.
- 1:00:09I'm like, man, what am I gonna do next Tuesday?
- 1:00:11You know, that's, that's kind of the thinking for humans.
- 1:00:13So, you know, we don't really think thousands of years into
- 1:00:16the future, like, what's going to happen a hundred years from
- 1:00:18now? You know, we're probably going
- 1:00:22to have a space Colony somewhere in 100 years, probably going to
- 1:00:25have a moon Colony, you know, the technology for Humanity,
- 1:00:31just went crazy. Once we got What's this new
- 1:00:37technology age computers and stuff started happening.
- 1:00:40Looks like there's Road as people on the road driving past.
- 1:00:47The launch site right now, a bunch of people.
- 1:00:49Actually, I just saw four cars passing the launch site IRL in
- 1:00:54real time. So testing may be done.
- 1:00:58Let me check my road closures. I don't see that the road
- 1:01:09closures have stopped, but it looks like the there have been
- 1:01:12Vehicles. Three, vehicles, just passed by
- 1:01:14the went down to the launch site.
- 1:01:18Interesting. If we see more Vehicles means
- 1:01:22that the road is open again, I haven't gotten a notice yet, I
- 1:01:27have the notices on my phone, then if the road opens back up.
- 1:01:36The eighteen thousand years. Come on man.
- 1:01:41What are the current trendy style points for space rocks
- 1:01:45that you might see on the rocket fashion show.
- 1:01:47Oh, that's a good one. I know, I think sleek and
- 1:01:52slender curves also. I think they're, I think the
- 1:01:57trending fashion is steel. We're looking at steel now for
- 1:02:01this, for the season and possibly, we're looking for
- 1:02:06maybe a bigger, a bigger style, you know, something a little bit
- 1:02:09more boisterous than last season, we're looking at things
- 1:02:13that are taller, looking at things that are wider rounder.
- 1:02:18So I think during this next, this next cycle for Rockets
- 1:02:21things are just going to get big.
- 1:02:27Each astronaut says road is an open just workers to pad for
- 1:02:29something. That's what I was hoping,
- 1:02:32because I'm really want this to continue.
- 1:02:35I want this testing to continue. Think of humanity goes extinct.
- 1:02:44Now I'd honestly be not that sad about it.
- 1:02:46We have already accomplished so many things as a species, but
- 1:02:49screaming in my basement. How much more could be do?
- 1:02:53Fear of missing out? How much more could we do?
- 1:02:57Like we had such little time here where you're just a blip
- 1:03:01like nobody's even going to Care like once humanity.
- 1:03:04And like this is a sad thing. This is a very sad thing to
- 1:03:07think about this for a second. It's your me in my basement.
- 1:03:09This is why every day I wake up and I go I'm gonna do something
- 1:03:12that I've never done before, or something that I need to
- 1:03:15accomplish, because I don't have much time.
- 1:03:17I have 70 years. Maybe, if I get lucky, I have 70
- 1:03:20years. Who knows, who absolutely knows.
- 1:03:23Nobody knows. How much time they have here,
- 1:03:26but how much time does Humanity have?
- 1:03:29We don't know you know there's a possibility and asteroid could
- 1:03:32hit us whatever. So we haven't done much in we
- 1:03:39could do more. So the thing is if Elon is
- 1:03:42correct and something does happen.
- 1:03:49You know, we need to get out to the Stars, we need to get away
- 1:03:52because if something were to happen, like we need to have
- 1:03:55Consciousness, we have to have Humanity.
- 1:04:00Someplace else, so we can continue, you know.
- 1:04:07And if we're literally, the only beings that have ever
- 1:04:11experienced Consciousness like this in the way that we build,
- 1:04:16you know, we're kind of parasites, we take out of the
- 1:04:18resources from the earth, or from our planet, or whatever
- 1:04:22plan. We're going to.
- 1:04:23And we're going to take it. We're going to build.
- 1:04:25We're going to take it. We're going to build.
- 1:04:26We can take it. We're going to get ready to go
- 1:04:27to an asteroid can take those asteroids.
- 1:04:29We're going to chop them up. We're going to build something
- 1:04:33with them. Go to the moon, in sit, you moon
- 1:04:36base using the resources of the Moon.
- 1:04:38We're going to make a moon base. So, I think there's so much more
- 1:04:46we can accomplish. I don't think I'd be happy.
- 1:04:50You know, in the next 100 years from now, imagine imagine a
- 1:04:53hundred years ago. You know, in the 1800's people
- 1:04:57were still savages People were still savages.
- 1:05:02They're fighting with swords. They fighting with Spears and
- 1:05:05swords, and like bows. And 1700s, you know it's 1500s
- 1:05:14things like that. Like Medieval Times, think about
- 1:05:16how crazy it's been just in the last hundred years, what's
- 1:05:20happened? And if we can do that, sort of
- 1:05:24leap from like the Industrial Age to the computer age, and
- 1:05:31eventually we'll get to the next stage, whatever, that's going to
- 1:05:33be, it might be, it might take us a hundred years.
- 1:05:35It might take 400 years, 500 years, 1000 Years, depending on,
- 1:05:40you know, how fast we advance, but it's going to be crazy in
- 1:05:45the next, even in the next year or two to see these Rockets
- 1:05:48launch, because that's literally the next phase, Phase of human
- 1:05:52evolution. This is the this is the
- 1:05:56beginning because we're going to start sending people to other
- 1:05:59planets and when we send those people to other planets they're
- 1:06:04not going to be humans anymore. They're not going to be the same
- 1:06:06human as humans were on earth eventually they're going to
- 1:06:11eventually. Become something else.
- 1:06:16This is my sci-fi brain going to work here.
- 1:06:20Is that you know will adapt will overcome?
- 1:06:23We always have. We always will just I don't know
- 1:06:28before medicine people used to die when they're like 20 years
- 1:06:32old people used to die with our ten all the time because you get
- 1:06:36a cut and then you die. He stubbed your toe, get a
- 1:06:39broken foot, you can't run, so you can't run away from a tiger
- 1:06:41or whatever. He died, not like that anymore.
- 1:06:48We figure things out. You got a cut on your hand.
- 1:06:53You're like, oh well that's not good, whatever.
- 1:06:57I still have to hunt, I still have to pick berries, I still
- 1:06:59have to forage, I still have to survive.
- 1:07:01So those people are not the same people as us, they're not living
- 1:07:07the same life and people hundred years from now.
- 1:07:09They're not going to be living the same life that we live
- 1:07:11because they're going to be something else than us going to
- 1:07:14have technology. That's absolutely.
- 1:07:18We won't even understand what it's going to be like it's like
- 1:07:21Like when I talk to my dad, he's 82 years old, I tell him things
- 1:07:26about my phone, like I have GPS on my phone, he doesn't know
- 1:07:28what GPS is. He doesn't understand it and I'm
- 1:07:32like yeah there's a map on my phone and as I'm driving My
- 1:07:38phone knows exactly where I am. And what the road looks like.
- 1:07:44And if there's traffic ahead, or if there's construction ahead,
- 1:07:47or if they're cops ahead, or if there's something going on, my
- 1:07:51phone knows this in the people that were the generations before
- 1:07:54us. You know they don't know these
- 1:07:58things you know my dad. He's from a different generation
- 1:08:01where you could buy a house when you're 20 years old on your part
- 1:08:04time job. You know, you can't do that
- 1:08:07anymore. If a part-time job, you're
- 1:08:08barely living. You'll never buy a house.
- 1:08:15If you have a part-time job, you have to have a full-time job and
- 1:08:18even then you're going to the massive debt to buy a house.
- 1:08:22So, he thinks if you're not married with kids, the house
- 1:08:26with a house at like 30 then, like you're doing it wrong.
- 1:08:29It's like, no, dude. It's just different now, you
- 1:08:32know, like that's pretty cool as need to find the person, you
- 1:08:35know, your person but it's different though.
- 1:08:40And the technology that we move forward with, you know, whether
- 1:08:43it's something better than our cell phones now, which is, you
- 1:08:47know, we think about it sometimes as this is like the
- 1:08:51new iPhone, you know, it's going to be lighter, it's going to be
- 1:08:55better. It's going to be faster.
- 1:08:57It's but that's just iterative the first iPhone is not that
- 1:09:01good anymore. It's horrible.
- 1:09:05That wasn't that long ago, I'm it's only Iphone 13 at this
- 1:09:08point, imagine the iPhone 200 you know what's that going to be
- 1:09:12like? What are the Apple?
- 1:09:14A our glass is going to be like how much is that going to change
- 1:09:16us? You know, those kind of things,
- 1:09:20you know, is is are humans going to be part of technology and we
- 1:09:26kind of are already. We're in the free baby stages of
- 1:09:30being part of technology in technology being part of us.
- 1:09:34We Carry our phones everywhere, we have a smart watches, we have
- 1:09:38headphones with no cords anymore.
- 1:09:40No cables. So going to going to the you
- 1:09:46know, going to outer space and having other people that are not
- 1:09:50human anymore, that's the future.
- 1:09:54And that's a that's a couple hundred years down the line it's
- 1:09:59possible and this is where we literally watching it happen
- 1:10:03right now. We're Of this, it's crazy.
- 1:10:07The Apollo missions. We thought that was going to be
- 1:10:10where we start. You know, sending people out to
- 1:10:13space have moon bases and it kind of was, you know, it showed
- 1:10:17people that as possible, you know, it's possible that we can
- 1:10:20go to the Stars. We can reach the moon but that's
- 1:10:23just literally the next stop, you know, that's a, that's a gas
- 1:10:27station, you know? If that's down the street,
- 1:10:30you're like oh I got to go out of town so I'm going to get gas
- 1:10:32before I go out of town. So you stop at that gas station.
- 1:10:36or charge your car, whatever, you know, whatever you have an
- 1:10:38Eevee So if you'll up, and then you go someplace else, you go
- 1:10:45far, far away right now you drive five hours.
- 1:10:47That's a long road trip. It's a pretty good road trip,
- 1:10:50but if you do a five day road trip, that's pretty far that's
- 1:10:56across like halfway across the United States.
- 1:11:00If it was 7 or 8 days, there you go, you made it to California
- 1:11:03from New York. But in the future we're going to
- 1:11:08be like, oh yeah, you got to go to Alpha, Centauri cool.
- 1:11:12Well, let's Bend some space time and let's let's see what happens
- 1:11:17or might not even send people there.
- 1:11:21That's where. VR and AR and probes, you know,
- 1:11:26robots go, the robots, go to a place, they map the place and,
- 1:11:33you know, we have real-time weather, we have real-time,
- 1:11:36whatever, you know, we have real-time pressure, real-time
- 1:11:39weather Etc, but we never send a person there.
- 1:11:43We just send light, we send information to their so we can
- 1:11:49kind of be man like Star Trek but not our actual bodies.
- 1:11:53Him again, but a replica or some sort, some sort of hologram, but
- 1:11:58we can feel like we're there because we have our VR goggles
- 1:12:00on. You know, we have our VR life
- 1:12:03and you could walk around on the moon, you can walk around on
- 1:12:06mars or wherever you want to go, but we'd have to send probes
- 1:12:10there first. So this is the beginning of all
- 1:12:13that stuff. This is like forward, think
- 1:12:16elon's thinking forward because he's like man, we got to get off
- 1:12:18this planet. We got to get far far away
- 1:12:21because if something happens to this planet, At least we have a
- 1:12:24backup. The redundancy that we all
- 1:12:27learned is really good. Backup, your stuff to the cloud.
- 1:12:32But instead of backing your stuff up to the cloud, you're
- 1:12:34backing Humanity up past the clouds, pass the atmosphere pass
- 1:12:40Earth gravity well and further off into the solar system and
- 1:12:44then a further off into the Galaxy.
- 1:12:48It's possibility in the next hundreds of years, that happens.
- 1:12:53And then we get to the moon, the hls program in the early 2030s,
- 1:13:01you know, we may have a base taking a look at Artemis.
- 1:13:07The Artemis timeline here, Does the Gateway?
- 1:13:14Habitat launching in 2027 lunar surface, Landing for Artemus
- 1:13:20three possible in 2026. Maybe maybe 20 30 more like it
- 1:13:29probably than 20 31, a lock for the Gateway, things like that
- 1:13:34and then we eventually land and start building on the moon,
- 1:13:38pretty crazy. It's, it's, there's a lot of
- 1:13:41things to think about. Tecton says, where would we be
- 1:13:47today if Industrial Revolution happened during the Roman
- 1:13:50Empire? Instead of it collapsing.
- 1:13:52Yeah. And think about all the
- 1:13:55civilizations that could have been, you know, because everyone
- 1:14:00was at War, it seems like everybody just wanted to fight
- 1:14:02all the time back then. Didn't it?
- 1:14:04Like the only thing you think about the only thing you really
- 1:14:06read about and the history lessons from that from those
- 1:14:10times were this place concert conquer.
- 1:14:13This place then this place conquer this place and it's
- 1:14:16like, but what else happened? Like, you know, there's, there's
- 1:14:19science that happened, there's technology that happen.
- 1:14:27All the fun stuff. Hello, from Brevard County,
- 1:14:30Florida John. I will be in Florida for the SLS
- 1:14:34launch. So, if you're gonna be at the
- 1:14:37answer launch launch, SLS launch would be cool to give you a high
- 1:14:40five or a bumpy knucks would be cool.
- 1:14:44Would be cool to hang out. We're trying to get a crew
- 1:14:48together. We're going to try to work with
- 1:14:50a couple of other YouTubers. Try to get a crew together for
- 1:14:52the SLS launch, so we can have some parties and stuff, I think
- 1:14:54it'd be really fun. I know Debs, we talked about
- 1:14:57this a long long time ago when Artemis was just the beginning
- 1:15:01thing in when I was going to go to Florida, we were just like,
- 1:15:03hey, let's go get a burger at this burger joint.
- 1:15:06Have a party man. I think that'd be really fun.
- 1:15:12Text answers. I heard about a theoretical
- 1:15:14method to send information somewhere instantly without the
- 1:15:16Restriction of the speed of light.
- 1:15:18This some scientist found out. Whoo, Hmm.
- 1:15:26I even think if you could send information to the speed of
- 1:15:29light to the Stars, you know, anywhere in the starts, like if
- 1:15:32you only have to go, if you only have the send information, it
- 1:15:35would kind of, you know, it's a long time even going to Alpha
- 1:15:42Century four and a half years or so light years.
- 1:15:47What's the difference between, you know, if theoretically, you
- 1:15:50can go faster than the speed of light?
- 1:15:53If they figure that out, then Bow by Einstein, this is a whole
- 1:15:56new thing. I mean the, you know, the
- 1:16:01instant transportation of what's it called.
- 1:16:09I can't remember what it's called.
- 1:16:11Why can't I think about it? I keep thinking Nano something,
- 1:16:17but it's not nano anyway, instant transportation of atoms.
- 1:16:22Basically, I mean, that's a possibility.
- 1:16:26What am I thinking about a burger at Kennedy along with
- 1:16:29200,000 people at a launch and try to fight each other yet,
- 1:16:32dams. Exactly, dude, it's gonna be
- 1:16:35hectic for these launches, man. I might not be in all of it, you
- 1:16:39know what I'm saying? Like, I might not go to like the
- 1:16:42spot for this launch because That's going to be insane man.
- 1:16:49So I might find a spot like a little bit further away.
- 1:16:51I have a giant lens on my camera so I can get a pretty good view
- 1:16:56of this thing from pretty far away.
- 1:16:59So I'm thinking I might just like, skip all the traffic What
- 1:17:05does like find a homie to like camp in their backyard or
- 1:17:07something? I don't know, I'm trying to
- 1:17:10figure it all out. The logistics of this is for
- 1:17:12somebody like myself, who is an Enthusiast?
- 1:17:14Who is a reporter for all? This stuff is a podcast or
- 1:17:17whatever. Yeah, it's just, it's insane.
- 1:17:22It's insane how much this stuff. Actually, how much time this
- 1:17:26stuff takes to figure out. So yeah, also, if you if you
- 1:17:35like podcasts, this will be an audio format if you want to
- 1:17:39listen to it later, check out Elon Musk podcast.
- 1:17:42It's an Elon Musk pod basically where I do all of these shows
- 1:17:46but I post them up on it and the YouTube app or on the on all
- 1:17:51podcast apps. So if you can hit that up and we
- 1:17:55have other episodes available in audio that aren't on here that
- 1:17:58are specifically about Elon as well.
- 1:18:01So anything that we do on here, I posted up to that podcast the
- 1:18:04Elon Musk podcast. So check that out.
- 1:18:08Pretty cool. I like it, it's fun.
- 1:18:10I like to do it over there. We have a pretty good following
- 1:18:13and yeah, sort of the, the other way to generate Revenue so I can
- 1:18:20continue doing these things. So if you could, that would be
- 1:18:22great. If you can subscribe over there,
- 1:18:24or if you just wanna hit the like button on this YouTube
- 1:18:26channel, that'd be freaking sweet.
- 1:18:29So thank you screaming in my basement.
- 1:18:32Hello from West Africa. Oh wow, that's cool.
- 1:18:35It's cool. I see that's the other thing
- 1:18:37about YouTube is that I love that it brings so many people
- 1:18:40with the same interest together. That's the reason why I started
- 1:18:46the show by started this channel because I had interest in space,
- 1:18:50flight that nobody else did around my town or around this
- 1:18:53area or astronomy actually started with astronomy.
- 1:18:55And I was like, there's nobody else around here with the
- 1:18:58telescope other than me, I'm like the only weirdo so, Yeah.
- 1:19:04It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool to start this
- 1:19:06thing and become part of this community.
- 1:19:08And then like be so welcomed with open arms from so many
- 1:19:12people and then just becoming friends with people, you know,
- 1:19:16let's see if we see if this Discord.
- 1:19:20Is available here too. Let's see if that command works.
- 1:19:24That may be Maybe not. I'll get a link to the Discord
- 1:19:30as well for you. By the way.
- 1:19:35Yeah, it should work. There you go.
- 1:19:39It's basically Discord, Discord, click that join our Discord.
- 1:19:42We have cool crew of people. We have, I don't even know how
- 1:19:45many people we have on there, but it's pretty chill.
- 1:19:47So, if you want just like a place to hang out and, you know,
- 1:19:50chat when we're not in YouTube land.
- 1:19:54Does the Discord is a pretty cool place where it's starting
- 1:19:56to take other people's news and other people's opinions and
- 1:20:01stuff and trying to figure out all the fun stuff to do
- 1:20:04together, but we have a decent amount of people here on our
- 1:20:08Discord. So please, if you can just stop
- 1:20:12by say hi, trying to figure out how many people are in the
- 1:20:16community here. We need 1,000 members on our
- 1:20:28Discord to get into the community and then, We need.
- 1:20:34Yeah that's pretty much it. A thousand people in our Discord
- 1:20:39Deb's. Thanks for that shadow on disk
- 1:20:40or two. I didn't even post it.
- 1:20:45I'm going to give you a little hot dog on their will.
- 1:20:48Did you move from Texas? Yes, Jordan, I did.
- 1:20:51I moved back to New York to help.
- 1:20:52Take care of my dad. So I'm here for now but I am I
- 1:21:00am going to make trips so for any sort of launches or stuff
- 1:21:05like that, I'm going to be making trips.
- 1:21:07So every I know every few months every 3-4 months or something,
- 1:21:12I'll take a trip, probably for months, take a trip back down to
- 1:21:14Starbase for a week or so. You get as much footage as I can
- 1:21:19during the kind of events staged.
- 1:21:23So yeah, it's going to be pretty cool.
- 1:21:26And plus over here in New York, I have access to the Eastern
- 1:21:30Seaboard so that means I can basically like drive down the
- 1:21:33east coast to Florida and see some launches, so I might
- 1:21:36actually do that in the next. I don't want the next launch one
- 1:21:39or few launches coming up. Let's see where.
- 1:21:50And when are the next big launches?
- 1:21:52There's a rocket lab launches, a falcon 9 block 5 coming up.
- 1:21:55June 29th. Let's see what's the next SpaceX
- 1:21:58launches a star like launch and Vandenberg, California, Kennedy.
- 1:22:02Space Center CRS. SPX 25.
- 1:22:06July, 14th. Maybe we should, maybe we should
- 1:22:08do that. What do you guys think about
- 1:22:11going down there for a resupply mission to the International
- 1:22:15Space Station? That'd be cool man, July 14th.
- 1:22:21Let's plan on it. That's gonna be hot though.
- 1:22:23It's a hot one. Let's sort of pseudo plan on
- 1:22:27that. What do you guys think?
- 1:22:36do you think we should go down to Go down to the cape for the
- 1:22:44CR-X mission. CRS SP x, 25 July 14th, that's
- 1:22:57kind of plan on it. But also there's a Starship
- 1:23:00that's being built. So I got to pick my pick my
- 1:23:04battles here, you know,
