We be good, O6 says hello all much more fun watching Starship
0:05
than New Glenn. I think it's more exciting
0:08
because you never know what's going to happen with Starship.
0:10
We be good. So because it's still such a
0:14
prototype that it's so much more fun to just hope that everything
0:21
goes well. I do that with like every every
0:24
rocket launch too. I want every rocket launch to go
0:27
well, I want everything to work out.
0:29
But Starship, if you're watching Starship and you're like, oh,
0:33
this is going to be exciting and it's going to be it's kind of
0:37
reckless and it's kind of punk rock in a way.
0:40
But at the same time, it's like, man, don't blow up.
0:44
Just don't Rudd, please. I want cool stuff to happen in
0:48
space. I don't want to rut for
0:49
Starship. I want cool stuff to happen.
0:53
I want us to launch and land these things.
0:55
I want six of these per per day to launch.
0:58
That'd be insane. 6 launches and 12 landings would be insane.
1:03
They could rush it, but will they?
1:07
I think the. I think the program has matured
1:09
enough and I think the, I think the head of Starbase in
1:16
engineering at Starbase, even though Elon is still the
1:20
engineer, right? He's the top engineer.
1:22
I don't think they're going to rush it because they have proven
1:28
to everybody so far that they know how to make prototypes.
1:34
They haven't proven yet that they know how to make a fully
1:40
capable super heavy lift rocket that's orbital and is dependable
1:48
for missions other than prototypes.
1:52
They haven't done that yet. And I'm like I said before, I
1:55
want SpaceX to succeed. I am not a hater.
1:59
I want them to succeed. I have a podcast called the Elon
2:01
Musk Podcast because I'm a fan of what the guy does.
2:05
You can check it out on all podcast platforms.
2:07
Look, for me, there's a stupid idiot out there that's trying to
2:10
RIP me off even though my podcast was there first.
2:13
But there's a pod. I have a podcast about the guy
2:16
because I believe in the things that he does.
2:19
But the fact of the matter, and I've been doing that for five
2:22
years. I've been doing this channel for
2:23
five years. I wouldn't do this if I didn't
2:24
like it, and I wouldn't do it if I didn't believe in it.
2:27
But I think the fact that it's still a prototype and you have
2:31
to think about this in your heart of hearts.
2:33
People think about this in your heart.
2:37
It's going to take more time because they want to get it
2:41
right and they want to be at the company that sends the next
2:43
people back to Mars. It's going to be wild.
2:49
It's going to be wild in the next 6 months.
2:51
In the next year. Things are going to ramp up
2:54
dramatically for Starship. I think the ramp up for this is
2:59
going to go like, because right now it's like going up and up
3:03
and up. And then I think this year is
3:05
going to go like straight up because once they hit orbit and
3:10
once they start doing missions in orbit, once they start
3:13
launching Starlinks, like dozens of Starlinks at the same time, I
3:19
think people are going to really pay attention.
3:21
I think people pay attention now, but they're like, that's a
3:24
prototype. You know, especially people that
3:26
know what's up, they, they think they know it's a prototype.
3:33
They know things could go wrong. And if you don't think things
3:36
are going to go wrong, then you're just being naive.
3:38
But if the fact that Starship actually launches and
3:43
successfully orbits and succeeds in their missions, whatever
3:46
those missions are for paid customers or for Starlink, by
3:50
the way, Starlink is a paid customer for SpaceX.
3:53
They're kind of two entities. So Elon does this really well.
3:58
He has a bunch of different companies and those companies
4:01
pay each other, so he keeps all the money.
4:05
Basically. He's like, well, I need
4:07
satellites. So I'm going to make a company
4:09
called Starlink. And then I'm going to make this
4:10
company called I'm going to make Tesla robots.
4:14
I'm going to make parts from Tesla that work with Starship.
4:22
It's funny though. It's very funny.
4:24
I, I'm going to say nice things anyway, man, Blue Origin killed
4:27
it last time they killed it, they got, they got a great
4:29
performance. I'm going to, I'm not a hater.
4:32
I if somebody does something well, I'm not going to be like
4:35
SpaceX #1 Blue Origin sucks. Like that's stupid.
4:38
Go back to high school. You know, what are you a jock?
4:40
Not you, zesty. I'm just saying like who's going
4:43
to take position? Who's going to take a side like
4:45
that? That's just silly.
4:47
Not you, not you, zesty. I'm just saying people that are
4:51
like total haters of either company.
4:53
It's like, dude, one, it's a giant corporation.
4:58
You're you're literally rooting for a giant corporation.
5:01
It's like, dude, I want Walmart to win.
5:04
No, I want Target to win, not you, Zesty.
5:08
I'm just reinforcing the fact that people that are tribal
5:11
about spaceflight, I don't get it.
5:15
I don't get it because you know, the whole team space thing.
5:18
I want everybody to go to orbit. I want everybody to go to space.
5:22
I want every company to succeed. I'm a fan of spaceflight am IA
5:27
fan of SpaceX, yes, am IA fan of Blue Origin, absolutely.
5:31
I want them all to succeed. I want all I the politics of it
5:33
suck. The politics of it or it's
5:36
stupid. It's stupid.
5:39
I don't know why people, not just us, but the other people
5:45
that are in charge, like the politics of the people in
5:49
charge, it's just disgusting. You know, there's, there's
5:53
people and I don't care who's in charge.
5:55
Jared Isaacman is a good dude in charge of NASA.
5:58
Soon, hopefully, man, I hope he changes some stuff around
6:05
because there's some just some just negative, negative things
6:11
going on. And it's just politics, you
6:14
know, like we were talking about earlier, Jim Bryan Stein and his
6:16
lobbying group making millions of dollars just to talk to
6:21
people about stuff, you know, and the, the fact that people
6:25
are like being so. And I've, I've had these people,
6:29
right? So I was on the side of Hwy. 4
6:34
while they were building the first iteration of Starship.
6:36
I was there for like a year, right?
6:38
And people would come up to me and they would be very political
6:44
and they'd say things like, because this is when Elon wasn't
6:49
very political. Like he was, he was pretty like,
6:51
I don't know, pretty in the middle about stuff.
6:56
And people would come up to me and be like, Elon is just an
7:00
idiot, whatever, You know, just talk about politics, about Elon
7:04
and about SpaceX and stuff. And I'm like, dude, don't you
7:07
want to see this rocket fly? I'm like, it's not about the, I
7:12
mean, sure, Elon has done some very questionable things.
7:16
He's a very questionable, he's a very, let's just say intriguing
7:20
person to see it nicely. But he like, we don't talk about
7:27
that when we talk about rockets, right?
7:29
We talk about the Rockets. We talk about the things that
7:31
they do. We talk about the missions.
7:33
We talk about the important things that are going to be
7:35
happening, people living and working in space, people living
7:39
off Earth's gravity, like away from Earth's gravity and
7:42
somewhere in the solar system, like how many people have lived
7:47
off of Earth, Zero, they've done work on the moon.
7:54
They haven't lived off the Earth once somebody lives off the
7:58
Earth, like goes to Mars. And even I would say, I would
8:03
say do a little trip, a little camping trip on Mars for a week.
8:12
That wouldn't be considered living off Earth.
8:15
I mean, you're, you're going to be out for a year or two, right?
8:18
Because you're going to have to fly there and back.
8:21
But that's, I don't know, it's a tough one too.
