Deb's. You can't do either.
0:04
Can't do both 8 + ad c-- Davis. Nice.
0:09
Okay, let's get in here. Let's do this.
0:10
Let's do this. Let's start this out.
0:13
What's up? Bob break?
0:14
Welcome back everybody. Let's say we got seven or eight.
0:17
Dabs, Deb's is misbehaving as usual.
0:23
Fucking lunatic. Neither and see Davis, 8 +, wow.
0:29
You're going like you going? Whole whole other side of this
0:33
thing. Okay, we got 9l tariffs has nine
0:38
emphasis on the plus 0 so you think so okay.
0:41
So if that's the case 98 + 49, what do you thinks these things?
0:47
It'll launch because if they do eight, I could see June, you
0:55
know, I could see June, maybe July, if they going to be doing
0:58
eight, if it's anything. S8.
1:04
Yeah, later this year, that's up later this year.
1:08
That's all you can say. All right, that's all I can say
1:10
later this year. And I don't know when you know,
1:16
full disclosure, no idea, Gunnar clanks has 7 but break says
1:20
seven. So we got, we got some sevens,
1:24
we got some mates, we got some nines, 8 + is, I should say, we
1:27
got some nines only 10 days to the FAA, delays, the review
1:31
again and see Davis. Yes we are.
1:33
I'm gonna get into that a little bit today to there's some,
1:36
there's some stuff happening down at Starbase today.
1:38
Booster seven possible move today from the launch site to
1:44
the production site. So let's let's see.
1:50
Here we go. So, this is a road closure for
1:52
today, Monday. April 18th from 6:00 a.m. to
1:59
6:00 p.m. right here, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. possible closure.
2:02
They started making these a little bit more apparent.
2:05
What they're going to be doing over the last.
2:09
I don't know, few three, three, four weeks.
2:12
They started adding a little bit more detail to these
2:15
descriptions as well, so temporary temporarily, and
2:18
intermittent closure for, and Beach open.
2:20
Like those are kind of kind of newish.
2:22
Close your schedule Beach closed.
2:24
Like those are things that that's kind of, like the normal.
2:26
And temporarily and intermittent closure Beach open kind of shows
2:30
that like, okay, you can go down to the beach but you might get
2:33
stopped in traffic and you might, you know, be stuck in
2:37
your lane on Highway 44, little bit or you might get turned
2:41
around or stopped because they're doing something down
2:44
there and you might not be able to get to where you want to go,
2:47
right? So possible closure, that's kind
2:49
of a new one too. So, possible closure.
2:52
That's today. It's 6 a.m. 6 p.m., there's tons
2:56
of robots. Down there.
2:57
Tons of reporters down there right now.
2:59
Just trying to get the shot up. Booster, 7 Rolling away from the
3:03
launch site to the production site.
3:05
And I'm possibly going down there in a little bit.
3:07
I have a bunch of I have three appointments after this show so
3:12
I'm going to try to get down there.
3:13
I don't know if I'll be able to, but I'm going to do my best to
3:15
get down there, but from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. today, possible move
3:22
of booster 7 to the production Scylla t?
3:27
Or because they got the road fixed.
3:32
They got the road fixed by the production site at Starbase.
3:36
So, there was a huge chunk of road that was dug up by the
3:41
production. Say this about me?
3:43
I don't know. Probably like half a mile.
3:45
Was dug up by the production site and you can drive on it.
3:49
You know, the one you could get on one side of it, you could
3:52
drive, but it was pretty nasty at that point.
3:56
So, You couldn't move a booster, you couldn't move a rocket, you
3:59
can move anything down that that's bigger than say the size
4:02
of a truck, you know? And the propellant loads and all
4:08
that stuff. The cryo loads and all those
4:10
loads were coming in to the launch site still.
4:14
And the, the whole thing was kind of slow down for a little
4:19
bit because there was a steps stoplight, everything was kind
4:22
of slow down, but now that road is fixed, it's smooth as Butter
4:27
and you can move your car through it.
4:29
No big deal. You don't get stuffed anymore
4:32
and there's no like pulling off to the side of the set of the
4:34
road to like let some Rando in a truck blast through like that's
4:38
why, that's what happens sometimes.
4:42
You know, sometimes the people that are just like they're just
4:48
wild at Starbase like, I swear, every time I go down there, I
4:52
see somebody who is even like crazier than before, but There's
4:56
like wild people. They go down to Starbase because
4:59
it's 30 miles out in the middle of nowhere like literally on the
5:01
melon or like he there's nothing down there other than Starbase
5:05
in the beach so lets people go they blast through.
5:10
So like I was on I was coming through you know going out of
5:15
Starbase the other day. Some guy in a truck.
5:18
I don't know who it was but some dude just like blasted in like
5:21
towards Starbase totally skip the light just went right
5:24
through and he was driving off. Rode off the side of the road,
5:28
which is not like that's a, my carbon do it.
5:31
Like he had a big beefy truck, so he was just, like, I'm just
5:33
going to blast through this thing.
5:35
So he drove past and I drove out and I was like, what is this
5:39
dude doing? You know?
5:41
So that's fixed. So you can, you can drive a
5:44
booster on there. So it's possible.
5:46
It's possible that SpaceX will be moving booster 7 from the
5:51
launch site to the Rocket Garden today, or they're going to be
5:55
moving it too. To the production facility.
5:59
To do the engines and engines and maybe add some grid fins to
6:04
it. So could they be moving booster
6:06
for out of the out of the launch site towards the Bays to take
6:12
those grid fins off so they can use them on booster 7.
6:14
That's a total possibility. I didn't I haven't seen any
6:18
other grid fins down there and will they be attaching the grid
6:23
fins before they get ready for launch, you know?
6:27
Like when they when they're doing these pressure test and
6:29
they're doing the cryo tests and all that stuff in the, you know,
6:33
all the tests before the launch, will they be adding the grid
6:36
fins before the next set of them?
6:40
Or, or will they be waiting until booster rate?
6:46
So booster rate in the bay right now, getting constructed, I've
6:50
seen with my own two eyes, the construction of booster 7 and
6:54
booster. Are very similar but booster 8
6:58
is a head and shoulders above as far as construction actual
7:04
construction of the steel. So that what I'm saying is the
7:07
construction of booster 7, not perfect, booster 8 much better
7:14
much, much better than booster 7.
7:16
So, in my opinion, I think they're going to skip booster 7,
7:21
move on to booster 8. So, why would you put the
7:23
engines not booster 7 and why? would you put the grid fins on
7:26
booster 8, if Why would you put the grid fans and engines on
7:32
booster 7? If booster rate is in a much
7:36
better place than booster 7 and you can't tell from these shots
7:39
unfortunately, but I was zoomed in really, really close on the
7:42
bottom, a booster 7 in. There are some kind of wavy
7:46
parts of the metal that I've seen and booster 8 is far as I
7:51
know, I haven't seen any of that stuff.
7:52
So booster 7 is brilliant, it's beautiful, but booster 8, Maybe
7:58
They're better shut and, you know, I can see.
8:02
Davis says it might be, it might be a better option to go even
8:05
further than booster 8. See what the enhancements will
8:09
be like, four booster 9, iterative design.
8:11
Iterative design is the key to making Starship fly faster, but
8:18
if they keep iterating so fast, they just they keep catching up
8:23
to it themselves. So, booster 8 is going to catch
8:27
up to booster. Nine or booster nice going to
8:29
catch up to booster 8, by the time, it's done testing.
8:32
So why would they use booster rate instead of using booster 9,
8:35
you know, like when does it stop?
8:38
When do you cut the cord and say, no more iterations, we're
8:43
going to test this one and then we're going to move on from
8:46
there. And then from there, you know,
8:51
kind of It kind of just okay. Push these ones, keep building
8:54
these things but continue testing and its really is a
8:58
cut-off. If like what what's the big
9:00
design flaw of booster 7? We're not sure.
9:03
We don't know, we don't know exactly how booster 7 did with
9:06
the test but it looked great all the tests so far looked amazing
9:10
but The the was going to say, I totally lost my train of
9:20
thought. Yeah, the booster seven looks
9:22
amazing, but booster 8, might be way better booster 9, might be
9:26
way better than a. But where's the cutoff?
9:29
You like, where's the cut off a booster 8, booster 9, what's the
9:32
process? What are the pieces of booster?
9:34
9 that are much better than boost ratings booster 7?
9:36
We're not sure yet. So we're going to be doing some
9:41
analysis on this and The future, once we get more information
9:44
about booster 9, we haven't really seen.
9:45
I think for booster nine yet, but boosts brain booster 7 look
9:49
very similar. So it's possible they do booster
9:52
7, I mean, it's really up in the air right now.
9:55
What are they going to do? I mean, it's up to you guys to
9:57
like what? What do you think they're going
9:58
to do? Booster, seven or eight?
10:02
I think it's going to be eight, but possibly I can see Davis had
10:06
eight. Plus, it could be much further
10:08
down the line. They could wait till 10:00, who
10:10
knows. But also another we got to look
10:14
at look at this. Got to show you this today right
10:18
here in progress right now, The Endangered Species Act
10:22
consultation for the Peña for SpaceX is Starbase moving
10:29
forward with the upgrades and are sorry for the launch.
10:34
And right now, this is due on the 21st, which is three days
10:39
from now and then. Then the section 106 review is
10:44
due on the 21st as well. So between the 18th today and
10:48
the 21st, we have a few days before this, and then the full
10:53
thing is due on the 28th, we'll see if it gets completed on the
10:57
21st. Interesting, but if we see
11:01
what's happening in the next few days at Starbase and see what's
11:07
happening with the PEI will understand, kind of what's going
11:11
to be the process, are they going to stop this thing?
11:16
Are they going to postpone it again?
11:18
Do they need more information from different parts of the
11:20
government will see in the next the next few days.
11:25
What's happening with the Endangered Species Act
11:27
consultation. DOI FWS.
11:31
And if you click through this, it just goes to the same page
11:33
unfortunately. So they will give you.
11:35
They don't give you like a high level of what's Happening Here.
11:39
Like what this actually is in the section 106 review, to is in
11:42
couple days. So we'll see what's happening
11:44
with that. And I'll keep an eye out for
11:47
that stuff and it's going to be it's going to be a Telltale sign
11:52
of what's going on at Starbase in the next few months.
11:54
If they'll be launching, Elon says they might be ready in May.
11:57
That's another thing like you Line says Ready in May and boost
12:01
her seven and booster eight or so close.
12:03
Would they, or could they just test booster 7 enough so they
12:09
could launch it just so they could get a launch off just to
12:12
test this thing. It, like I said before, when
12:14
what's the cutoff? So here's one of the other
12:16
things is down here, as starbases point.
12:20
This is from the, the stakeholder agreement from the
12:24
FAA. The operational closures.
12:28
This is one of the things that's important for SpaceX to pass
12:31
this and some people, you know, this is a big document is a big
12:36
big document. It's 21 pages long.
12:40
It's hard to read, you know, it's boring, you know.
12:43
So a lot of people haven't even taken a look at this thing, but
12:47
there are. There are a few things that I'd
12:50
like to touch on. As far as that goes, operational
12:52
closures, very important. For local law, enforcement and
12:57
local SpaceX, employees, and local people to have a system in
13:01
place. For the road closures,
13:03
operational closures because this is public land.
13:07
Like SpaceX, is operational facilities aren't public land
13:11
but the beach and everything surrounding Highway for is all
13:16
endangered species and public land.
13:18
So the beach go to the beach miles of Sandy, white beaches,
13:23
beautiful beaches. Right on the Gulf of Mexico, and
13:26
then the endangered species right there on either side.
13:31
It's a, it's a, it's a place where nobody goes, there's
13:36
there's markers wherever you go on the road to show that, you
13:42
can't go over there. Look, you just can't go over
13:45
there and people don't understand that.
13:47
Like, you can't just wander off because can't just wander over
13:50
because it's against the law. So, it's It's a protected area.
13:56
You can't go over there and Elon Musk and SpaceX have to make
14:00
sure that they protect that land and they protect the the people
14:03
that go there to enjoy the beach.
14:05
A Deb's, thanks so much for that.
14:07
Super chat. I just want to remind everybody
14:09
that all the super chats that are in this chat or on this
14:13
channel or super like, super, thanks and thumbs up.
14:17
Really do help out the channel. So, if you're here right now,
14:19
please take a second. Like the channel, subscribe.
14:23
And we can talk more about space.
14:24
A sex and Starbase in the future, I do these every Monday,
14:26
Wednesday and Friday. And also go down to Starbase and
14:29
do live streams from there and get a lot of footage from there.
14:31
So all these things really help the show.
14:34
So thanks Debs, I really do appreciate that.
14:36
That's awesome. Now let's do skin into this
14:40
operational, you know, it's not that fun.
14:44
I just want to let you guys know that it's not that fun.
14:46
So let's try to make it as fun as possible.
14:48
Operational closers. Operational closures for the
14:54
person purposes of the PTA, the FAA defines an operational
14:56
closure as follows. A closure begins when local law
14:59
enforcement under the direction of an order from the Cameron
15:02
County Commissioners Court shuts.
15:04
The show is brought to you by backblaze, I use back place to
15:07
back up my podcast. My video files, all of my
15:10
writing stuff, and all my photos.
15:12
And you get unlimited computer backup for Macs and PCs for just
15:16
$7 a month. You can back up your own
15:18
documents photos videos, drawings projects, Of your data
15:22
and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world using
15:26
the web app and you can access the files on your mobile to iOS
15:29
Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
15:32
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
15:34
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
15:38
to your door. It could come to your business
15:39
to and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
15:43
hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
15:46
and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
15:49
hard drive and then you ship it back.
15:51
You don't ever pay for it, which is the perfect program for
15:54
somebody who has huge files and you don't want to waste days and
15:58
days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
16:01
And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
16:03
files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
16:06
history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
16:10
Files comes in super handy. So seven dollars plus two
16:13
dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.

17:14
He'll on down highway for in Boca.
17:17
Chica Beach for a tank test, wet dress rehearsal, static fire
17:20
engine test or Lon. The closer ends when the
17:23
operation is completed and local law enforcement open State
17:26
Highway for in Boca Chica Beach again.
17:29
So okay, pretty straightforward whenever they do like big-time
17:33
tests, pressure tests, cryo tests, what dress rehearsal,
17:37
static fire tests, take tests launches, Etc.
17:42
That's when the FAA says, okay, this is, this is an operational
17:46
closure. So here's a little bit more
17:51
information. What about the closure area
17:53
here? But let's go a little bit
17:54
through this because this is another operational part of the,
18:00
the Starbase facility. Take tests, wet dress,
18:02
rehearsal, static fire test and launches suborbital and orbital
18:06
would require restricted public access to the vicinity of the
18:08
vla and securing land and water areas.
18:13
As part of public safety requirements.
18:16
Areas on that land would be closed to Public Access is
18:19
referred to as the closure area. So the closure area includes an
18:26
area of Boca Chica Beach ranging from Brownsville shipping
18:29
channel, South to the Mexican border.
18:32
The Brownsville shipping channel would be temporarily restricted
18:35
during orbital flight launches and some orbital launch its some
18:38
sub orbital launches but not restricted during take tests and
18:41
white dress rehearsals or static fire engine test.
18:43
Okay? So yeah, let's let's talk about
18:47
that for a second to. But first I have to thank James.
18:52
Thanks so much. Love your coverage.
18:53
Keep it up. Can't wait to see this new BR
18:56
99s sticks. Lift up soon sooner rather than
19:01
later. Yeah, that's going to be
19:03
amazing. You get a Starship, you get a
19:04
Starship landing and then you get a Starship flight and we
19:08
also get a recovery. So with that's even better
19:10
workout on a recovery right now of the booster, but right now,
19:13
we just get a full on straight up Landing for you.
19:16
So, thank you so much. I'm trying to add a trying to a
19:19
day. Mechagodzilla on there too.
19:22
I think that would be pretty fun but right now you get a regular
19:25
Starship. So thanks so much James for that
19:27
Super Chat. Anybody else who wants to
19:29
support the show? Thank you so much for that.
19:30

Now let's get back into the chat real quick.
20:57
Need a fog, free Starship, yeah, Deb's.
20:59
I agree with you 100% agree with you 100% because this just isn't
21:05
going to cut it. This isn't gonna cut it.
21:11
Why do they even have ahead of schedule on that Legend?
21:13
This is government work. We don't need them mess.
21:16
Yeah, exactly. What's up?
21:17
Passing wind, how you doing? As he Davis has.
21:21
I just noticed you moved the logo away from the screen,
21:24
share. Thanks for taking the feedback.
21:25
Oh yeah, thanks man. Yeah, I did that.
21:27
This morning I took that feedback and I was like okay so
21:29
this is going to make the user experience better going to make
21:31
it better for everybody. No fog and Florida.
21:33
Yeah, see that's another thing. Passing read the, the SpaceX
21:38
launch facility in Florida for Starship is coming along really
21:41
great. And they've learned all the
21:43
lessons that they need to learn right now from the Boca Chica
21:47
site. So moving forward going to the,
21:52
you know, the Florida site, super important, but that's a
21:56
whole other Other discussion. So we have this.
21:59
So this is the closure here, I want to, I want to zoom in on
22:01
this if I can Soft checkpoints, hard checkpoints, this whole
22:08
area here. This whole yellow area is SpaceX
22:12
personnel, only and land owner, and SpaceX Personnel in the
22:19
purple purplish. Pink stone.
22:21
Yeah. So anybody who's you know, who
22:25
has land their land owner and SpaceX Personnel?
22:28
No Personnel at the launch site, basically.
22:31
No Personnel get a clear it out. Saul remote, by the way, there's
22:34
nobody down there when they do these tests there's nobody down
22:37
there you know sometimes there might be Personnel nearby but
22:42
outside of this restricted Zone blast danger area is right here
22:46
along this. This kind of curve here right?
22:50
Where the no Personnel zone is in this area by the in the
22:54
yellow here so they just want to make sure that nobody's in that
22:59
area when they do these tests you know.
23:03
There's and of course they go on and on and on about detail about
23:08
environmental consequences construction, you know they're
23:11
talking about vla parking, lots liquid natural gas pretreatment
23:15
system. A liquefier payload processing,
23:18
facility, etc, etc. No action alternative under the
23:22
no action alternative. The FAA, we're not issued no new
23:25
experimental permits or licenses to SpaceX for any test of lore.
23:28
Launch operations Boca Chica launch site SpaceX could conduct
23:32
missions of the star. I ship prototype launch vehicle
23:34
as authorized by the current license lrl.
23:36
Oh, 21:19 the license expires, May 27th, 2022.
23:44
That's pretty close. It's about a month away.
23:46
A month in a few days. They'll turn it provides the
23:49
basis. For comparing the environmental
23:50
consequences of the proposed actions.
23:52
So basically if they don't get this new one, they can operate
23:55
under the current license and then they have to get a, they're
23:58
going to have to redo the current license, May 27, 22 and
24:02
I'm sure they're on top of that because Don't want to lose that
24:03
license and have it lapse. So, they're on top of that
24:07
license where they could do suborbital flights and is much
24:11
testing as they're currently doing, as well.
24:13
So, moving forward, SpaceX will be doing, you know, those kind
24:18
of tests but the other kind of tests.
24:20
Yeah, we're kind of, you know, we're waiting on that see what
24:22
happens with the environmental assessment.
24:26
So passing around says only - to Florida is the lack of access.
24:31
Yeah it's tough because they're there.
24:33
There's not as much, they won't be able to do as much Rd in
24:36
Florida and there's also launched schedules that they
24:40
have to compete with other large providers with to you know like
24:44
SpaceX is eventually blue origin.
24:46
All the NASA flights Etc. Is it like down the line?
24:50
Ula Etc. So it's like they do this stuff
24:55
at Starbase because they could do it really fast.
25:00
They can do are iterative design.
25:02
Super Just so I get all this stuff done at Starbase Boca,
25:07
Chica Texas and then from there, move everything over to Florida
25:11
because it works, you know, and they know how to produce a
25:14
Starship perfectly and then they just move all the facilities
25:18
over to Florida and will continue operations in Boca,
25:22
Chica through the future. But if this fa8 thing doesn't go
25:27
through, it's going to be a huge letdown.
25:30
I mean, it's already been a letdown for a lot of people.
25:33
That are following this, you know, the following SpaceX and
25:36
following Boca Chica, and following Starbase and Starship,
25:41
huge letdown that they postponed it so long, like I moved here in
25:43
September. You know, I moved here in
25:45
September 20 21 because the, the idea was that they were going to
25:50
get everything ready to go for an orbital flight soon after
25:54
September or October, you know, September October of last year.
25:58
I moved here in September and I was like, yeah, man, I gotta, I
26:00
gotta see this launch so I hurried Down here, you know,
26:04
because everyone was super excited about it.
26:06
So I hurried I knew there is probably going to be a
26:08
postponement. I didn't know.
26:10
It's going to be this long. I didn't expect it to be this
26:13
long. I'm stoked to be here but the
26:16
the fact that I had to wait you know seven months or whatever it
26:18
is seven or eight months I'm like wow could you imagine being
26:22
in spacex's place where this is all you do like this is what you
26:26
want to do so you're moving forward.
26:28
Mitigating those circumstances of the FAA the Peña and now you
26:32
got to move forward. It just keep building, and keep
26:34
building and building and building it must be, you know,
26:38
it must be really daunting task to keep moving forward and must
26:43
be kind of draining to because, you know, you're doing something
26:45
for Boca Chica, you know, like all the surrounding area.
26:49
But also, you know, this stuff's going to move to Florida
26:52
eventually because the the Peña doesn't go through eventually
26:55
which is unfortunate, you know, so What's up, Jeff?
26:59
How you doing? Hope everyone had a great
27:01
weekend by the way and I know people are still recovering from
27:03
the weekend. So, myself included, sort of, I
27:07
had a good night last night so I was I was actually thinking
27:12
about postponing this show for a second, then I was like, wait
27:16
what? No, I can't do that because
27:17
we're back on schedule Monday Wednesday and Friday at noon.
27:20

information that I bring to you. And also, you know, the
27:36
production quality and stuff has been up to recently, because of
27:39
your help, like, literally because you're up, I couldn't
27:41
have moved a Brownsville without your help in every single, like
27:44
every single sub. Everything 100% helps like you
27:48
don't think it does. You know, you think it might be
27:50
a small thing like one, like doesn't really matter but it
27:53
really does because if we go from like 30 likes to 50 likes,
27:57
that's a big jump. Up.
27:58
So thank you for everybody who's been liking the video and like
28:03
in the Stream today guys. I really do appreciate it.
28:06
Jeff says, just sitting here building fishing lures.
28:08
Nice. That's cool.
28:10
Summers coming fishing Seasons coming.
28:12
If it's not already. There I see people fishing all
28:14
the time down in Boca Chica Beach.
28:17
Yeah. Like, I see people I was there
28:21
on Easter. At Sunday and there were tons of
28:24
people down at the beach at one point and just Fisher people.
28:29
I don't know what you want to call them.
28:30
People that fish, they have their big ol Rod sticking on the
28:33
back of their truck and they're going down to the down to the
28:37
beach and then coming back through, you know, just going
28:39
crazy. It was awesome.
28:41
I loved it. I'd love to see that stuff down
28:43
there because you know, it's it's one thing that you get on
28:47
to see Rockets, right? And then you see the humanity of
28:49
it. All you see, people doing the It
28:52
just going past the Rockets, not Karen, you know, they don't care
28:56
and see Davis. Thanks so much for the super
28:58
Chet. Appreciate you, man.
29:00
Appreciate you and all the support you've been given
29:03
through this whole time. Hi for Peoria, Illinois, on a
29:07
cold gloomy day. Thanks for keeping me
29:09
entertained, heck, yes, awesome. I know what those gloomy cold
29:13
days are like, I'm from the Northeast.
29:14
So being down here in the hot, Texas sun down at Starbase and
29:18
the surrounding area. So cool.
29:21
That I can bring this to you and I'm so happy that I can
29:25
entertain you. So thank you so much for that.
29:26
I really do appreciate it. And means a lot.
29:30
It really does. Jeff.
29:31
Francis says year-round building them.
29:33
Yes, totally totally. They just build stuff.
29:37
All the time. All the time.
29:41
Holy Cow. Happy Cappy.
29:42
There you go. You got a Starship.
29:43
He will do you think they will be do anything with be for s20
29:48
this Wednesday for 20? May be breathing down the road?
29:52
Excellent facility mean SPI this week and I hope to see some kind
29:55
of 420 homage. Yes omage the homage to 420
29:59
would be sick. The road closures.
30:01
Don't show it though. So unfortunately unfortunately I
30:08
don't think we're going to, I mean, we might we might get a
30:11
road closure on the 20th. That would be great.
30:15
That'd be awesome. 420 would be sweet parade 420 down.
30:20
I mean if they're going to do it that's the day right?
30:23
Like so it might be a good idea to kind of like get ready.
30:26
I got all my equipment ready, it would be really sweet to be
30:29
there with all my cameras and just like, set up five.
30:33
Tripods with With a GoPro, my phone, a camcorder, my studio
30:39
camera. I have an m 50 camera, get a
30:42
200. Mm lens, got a 600 millimeter
30:44
lens. I got a 75.
30:46
So like set them all up in like a like a dome shape.
30:52
It just wait, that would be sweet.
30:55
Yes, that would be amazing. So that means people can be on
30:58
site, you'll end must have something but I really hope he
31:01
does. I really hope he does.
31:03
That would be Because I didn't even think about that.
31:06
That would be, that would be amazing.
31:10
Of course, hit. Thanks so much for that.
31:11
Super Chat to, by the way, that's really, really, really
31:14
sweet of you. So, I could get you to do these
31:17
shows really, really nice of you.
31:19
Thank you so much. Now, one more thing as always,
31:24
one more thing, right? So Polaris the Polaris project.
31:28
Oh, so cool. So cool, so space Technologies
31:33
laboratory team, his name the camera project, a llamas,
31:37
literally looking at more astronauts in space, check this
31:40
out. Player is Dawn, Commander Rose,
31:42
rookie. Isaacman visited at Embry-Riddle
31:45
last Friday, speaking to students and checking out the
31:47
University's space. Technology lab, where their
31:49
student team is working on a camera system to film the first
31:52
commercial space walk. So this is crazy.
31:54
The spacewalk I want to talk about this too so there's Jared
31:58
with the team. Had a little panel talked about
32:01
stuff, he's such a good Ambassador for this stuff, such
32:04
a good Ambassador, The Rook chillin with all the team, so
32:10
cool due to the Long Bar, didn't even see that guy.
32:13
Before I check this photo out earlier, I was like, yeah,
32:15
that's cool, like school photo and then I didn't even see that
32:18
guy. All right, red, good.
32:21
Shred it up, dude. And the Jared's awkwardly
32:24
standing in the Middle with his flight suit on Jared.
32:27
I love that guy. I love Jared.
32:28
He's awesome. But yeah, like he's got his
32:31
whole flight suit on. And everyone else is just like
32:34
chilling. They're just wearing regular
32:36
clothes. He's in uniform.
32:38
That's awesome, dude. Good job chair.
32:40
At that's so cool. But look at this little, I mean,
32:43
I hope this is the zero g indicator 0.
32:45
This is 0 g indicator. For the players project, they're
32:49
going to be doing the first commercial space walk.
32:53
With this camera set up the camera project.
32:58
Llamas, literally looking at more astronauts in space
33:02
literally like what a cool name for this thing, literally
33:06
looking at more astronauts in space.
33:09
It's just it's goofy like the whole Space industry like
33:12
everyone that's works. In the space industry is kind of
33:17
like super intelligent, you know, like they're very smart
33:20
people and also they have good sense of humor.
33:23
Our so literally looking at more astronauts in space.
33:26
So I've heard a few things about the, the first commercial
33:30
astronaut players project and they're working on, and I want
33:37
to show you this too. Oh yeah.
33:40
Look at that. This should be your zero g
33:42
indicator. I have to find the actual tweet.
33:44
I think this is it. Let me find the Tweet here,
33:47
because I'm a little bit. I picked the wrong one, let me
33:51
get this. Here, and we'll do this.
33:56
Then we'll do this and then I'll figure it out for you guys.
34:02
If it'll load Is twitter.com. It's not loading the post.
34:09
But anyway basically they said they're working on Eva suits IV,
34:16
a / Eva suits says isaacman. So let me let me get this down
34:24
here, there we go. So this is the Tweet but I want
34:26
to show you guys. There we go.
34:30
And load, somebody asks space shuttle.
34:33
I'm like when will we see See, get to see the design of the Eva
34:37
suit and the general plan for the Eva I understand.
34:40
It will be a Gemini style Eva where the other crew members
34:43
will be exposed to the vacuum for the full duration of the
34:46
spacewalk. You're inside of a capsule
34:49
inside of a Dragon capsule. And then somebody goes out for
34:53
the spacewalk. You have to be in this capsule
34:56
in your suit. For this kind of Eva in the
35:01
capsule in your suit, buckled in top of the Dragon opens.
35:07
And then somebody like flings himself out of the Dragon does,
35:12
their spacewalk doesn't really fling, but they climb out
35:15
cautiously and they do their spacewalk.
35:17
All the, while you're inside the dragon, while they do the
35:20
spacewalk exposed to the dangers of space.
35:27
It is not a safe place out there, you could get very hurt
35:31
and or killed so something like that.
35:35
Super scary. You have to be on top of your
35:38
game. The space walker has to be on
35:40
top of their game. Everybody has to be on top of
35:42
their game, but these suits have to be absolutely beautiful.
35:45
So we were just on site. This is Jared as Amir tweeting
35:47
back. We're just outside for Mission
35:49
planning discussions, including updates on sukhdev.
35:52
We visited suit lab and hopefully pictures released
35:55
soon. So we'll stay tuned to Jared,
35:57
Isaac Mendez, pictures SpaceX, making great progress on IV, a
36:01
TV, a transformation, new materials for durability,
36:04
thermal mmod new joints for Mobility safety features.
36:08
So, the thing that we saw before the Dome that we saw for the
36:13
last year dies of gunfight the I think is the biggest window in
36:19
space, at that point. Biggest single window in space?
36:23
That was kind of the precursor to this.
36:26
Lock system that are going to be using the flip top of the Dragon
36:30
capsule. So they're going to have
36:32
something like this available where the top of it flips open
36:37
and somebody climbs out does an Eva.
36:41
This is terrifying doesn, t v-- a while everybody else is in
36:44
there, IV a suits, the inter vehicular suits and then
36:50
somebody has an extra vehicular suit and they go outside and
36:54
everybody else sees inside crazy.
36:56
Absolutely crazy but I think it's so cool that Jared is
37:00
keeping us informed. You know, like this stuff is
37:02
important. This is important for future
37:04
space flight. So Jared, doing this and saying
37:07
like, hey yeah, we're going to release some pictures soon.
37:10
Yeah. I want to see him.
37:11
I think everybody else wants to see him too.
37:13
So let me know what you think. Like, do you think that's
37:15
absolutely terrifying. Let me know because it sounds
37:20
terrifying. I don't want to, I don't want to
37:22
be part of that. I would want to watch it, but I
37:24
don't want to be part of. I'm gonna be holding my breath
37:25
the whole time. I'm gonna be up there in their
37:27
suits, they're going to be totally fine, they're going to
37:29
have oxygen coming in but I'm going to be the one passing out
37:32
down here because I'm holding my breath and that's not good.
37:35
So I'm not going to do that. Actually, I'm just going to
37:37
going to breathe calmly. And I'm going to be all right.
37:40
So when they do this Eva, I hope they have footage of it.
37:44
You know what's going to happen though is not going to be a live
37:47
feed. What they're going to do is
37:49
they're going to record it with a million GoPros and high
37:52
high-end cameras and when they do Do when I get the footage,
37:59
they're going to take the footage and release it in a
38:03
Netflix documentary. Like they normally do but there
38:06
were there will be YouTube stuff to.
38:08
I'm sure and SpaceX if SpaceX doesn't do this live on their
38:12
Channel or if the players project doesn't do this live on
38:14
there. You know, if they don't do this
38:18
on their YouTube channel, I think it would be a disservice
38:21
that they don't do this live. It's crazy.
38:23
It's a pig. It's an important step forward
38:27
with human space flight for a private Eva.
38:32
But also if something goes wrong.
38:35
What could happen, you know, like how how catastrophic would
38:39
that be for the spaceflight industry, if something were to
38:41
go wrong during the first private Eva, you know, Yeah,
38:47
that it would be, it would be devastating.
38:49
So keeping the footage for the future is cool and maybe
38:54
releasing it when you know, an hour after they're done or
38:58
whatever would be great. Some photos would be cool too,
39:02
but also doing it live is sort of dangerous for PR.
39:06
So it looks, I don't know. I don't know what they're going
39:08
to do with that footage but I just need to see it.
39:10
I think it's going to be so cool, especially something like
39:13
a Gemini. Eva where everyone's inside and
39:17
the hatch is open. Like, how does that work?
39:21
That's crazy. I want to get some footage of
39:23
that. There is, there's definitely
39:24
some footage on NASA's website and I'll take it up and I'll
39:28
post it on my Twitter at space news pod on Twitter and I'll
39:31
post it up there today. So keep an eye out for that.
39:36
It's going to be it's going to be crazy that when they do this
39:38
thing, we need a Build-A-Bear Starship rocket.
39:43
Jeff says, hey, what's up dude? You forced acronyms are the best
39:47
wrote a program for a doctor's office wants and managed to
39:49
figure out how to call it Davis. Oh nice sneaky.
39:54
Do you know if there will be another mini docu-series?
39:57
Like they did for inspiration for on Netflix or anywhere else?
39:59
I'm not sure. I'm not sure I'm back.
40:02
I've actually been in contact with the production company that
40:07
did the last one about Bob and Doug.
40:09
And I'm, I'm looking for answers, so, I'm looking into
40:15
that. Hey Michael.
40:17
What's up? Like a maxi put a suit on, like
40:20
the astronauts that way, you don't have to hold your breath.
40:22
I have this. I have the jacket that has a
40:23
jacket, but I don't have a suit. Unfortunately who?
40:28
There we go. Michael says have a nice Easter
40:31
weekend. I had a great, a great weekend.
40:37
Actually I had a really chill weekend.
40:39
I was really happy. I was really happy this weekend
40:40
is really good. I hope you had a good weekend
40:42
to. That's basically needs it.
40:44
Drone camera and space following Dragon?
40:46
Yes. Neil they need they need all the
40:48
robot cameras. They just need, like all the
40:51
robot cameras and they need like a crew of five or six.
40:55
People with cameras on the ground.
40:57
Of course, putting telescopes at the the crew Dragon the whole
41:00
time. Yeah, they have a ton of people,
41:04
man. It's crazy.
41:05
And I have a ton of robots, so it's really, it's really neat.
41:08
They cover everything really great.
41:11
What's up, Bronte? How you doing?
41:13
I think that was like, all the Tonight had for today.
41:15
All the things that I want to share with you guys the players
41:17
program, there's one more thing that I'm like, I'm tentative
41:19
about she showing you guys because it's an SLS thing but
41:25
there is there's a like there was one of the the team of SLS.
41:30
That's the had some words to say about the negative people that
41:34
talk about SLS and I guess I'll show it to you.
41:37
Just give me a second to find it here.
41:38
I know they're I know it's here somewhere.
41:40
I just got to find it. Where did I put that?
41:43
Yeah, right there. This.
41:45
So let me look in the chat real quick.
41:47
Happy Cappy's, as did you see that short clip for every day?
41:49
I start from top of launched our.
41:51
Yeah, yeah. I I was like, do that.
41:55
So cool. But I'm also afraid of heights.
41:57
So I feel on. Invited me up there.
41:59
I would go up there but I'd have like a parachute on have a
42:04
parachute. I'd be like, yo be like, can we
42:06
go down now, please? I wouldn't even look at me.
42:08
Like I know you're, I know you're over here and I know I
42:10
have a job to do. To film you.
42:14
But I'm just going to kind of point the camera in your general
42:16
direction. It is close my eyes and know
42:17
that I'm 400 feet plus off the ground and it's only on like a
42:23
steel beam, you know. Like it just had like steel
42:26
great. Yeah.
42:28
So I've seen it. It's huge.
42:31
And I know how high he was. So yeah.
42:33
Tim Dodd is the man for but going up there.
42:35
Tim is just like that's a whole other level that.
42:38
I don't know if I'd be able to do so.
42:39
My fear of heights would probably be like He'll on can we
42:43
just do this down? It like stage zero like it's not
42:45
as high but can we just go like to to the launch deck?
42:49
That would be cool too and I'm sure Tim got all that footage
42:52
do. I'm sure they were up there
42:54
doing that. Mike Mike says, drag and has a
42:56
problem with a big loop comes during a X1 docking.
42:59
Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, that's not good 5xl
43:04
Outdoors is. I'm surprised.
43:05
Ilan, hasn't made a space drone. Yeah, that's true.
43:12
Yeah, I'm surprised. He hasn't made a, like, a drone
43:16
that pops out of a dragon. You know, like pops out of a
43:20
dragon and films from outside. I don't know how they would do
43:23
that though. They just have to use propulsion
43:24
and that would be an interesting model to bring to them, say, hey
43:28
man, you want this footage from space, have a drone in a.
43:33
I could build it or we can build it, the team can build it, I
43:36
would build it. I don't know what I'm doing.
43:40
The analysis dragon. Us back into the garage for
43:42
repairs. Happy.
43:44
Yeah. I too am afraid but I would have
43:47
to force myself. Yeah.
43:48
I would too much happy. Yeah.
43:49
Mac the Michael I am. I'm right there with you.
43:52
They're dragging it back. The dragon.
43:54
A back for repairs for testing and repairs may be cold gas and
43:58
disposable. Yeah, maybe he'll on.
44:00
I've got a great. I've got a green screen.
44:02
Let's do that. Yeah, exactly.
44:05
Can we just come to my place? Ilan to come on.
44:08
Just, it's only one flight, you know, I'm on the second floor.
44:11
It's not Yup. Got a green screen we can just
44:14
pretend you just stand in front of the green screen and then
44:19
I'll Photoshop in stage 0. I maybe I should do that as a
44:22
goof sometime. Yeah, maybe that'd be kind of
44:26
funny. It's live from the live from the
44:29
grounds of Starbase life from underneath booster 7.
44:35
So there's one more tweet. I want to show you guys.
44:39
SLS a test vehicle except expect issues.
44:41
Yeah, you know it's first round, you know, Pathfinder for the
44:44
rest of them. So I'm expecting them, you know,
44:47
maybe another year delay for SLS.
44:51
I mean these things, these things happen and maybe it's
44:55
going to be on time. But if you expect it to be that
44:58
far out and then they get it done before then you're like oh
45:01
wow good job. But if you if you expect them to
45:07
get it done in June in them they're done in August or next
45:11
year sometime when you're like dude, come on.
45:14
What's up? SLS stands for ship leaks
45:18
severely. Oh that's horrible SL.
45:21
Not just feel it's a large vehicle for Orion is one and
45:23
done. Yeah, I mean that too.
45:26
It's one of those things where it's like, man, you got you got
45:30
this, you got this rocket that's going to be.
45:35
It's it's it's kind of both though, you know, it's like it's
45:38
a test vehicle for the future SLS missions.
45:41
Because if this one doesn't work or if this one works, and then
45:45
I'll figure out what's wrong with it, or what's not wrong
45:47
with it, and then I'll move forward with that.
45:49
So it's kind of like I don't know.
45:51
It's I think it's kind of both is the first iteration so always
45:54
the first one is kind of weird and they're never there, never
45:59
perfect. So speaking of SLS, Taylor hose
46:04
at Taylor hose Artemis, closeout Crew, lead Orion CSM Flight
46:09
Deck, Ms? Space studies, astronomy
46:11
amateur, astrophotographer. Thoughts are my own, Artemis
46:14
closeout Crew, lead Orion, CSM flight tech.
46:17
Somebody the works on the SLS, something that works on Artemis.
46:20
The amount of SLS haters is really depressing.
46:23
We have pretty a put so much of our Lives into this vehicle.
46:26
So we can take Humanity back to the moon, and people try to tear
46:29
us down every step of the way. It doesn't matter.
46:31
SLS is going. We are going.
46:32
Going. Yeah.
46:34
So they're still sticking with their guns.
46:37
Taylor is one of those people, you know, saying basically, hey,
46:42
we're going to keep going. We don't care.
46:44
We're going to keep building it because that's what we do.
46:47
So we don't care about the haters.
46:48
Haters gonna hate? I also I posted be below.
46:51
Hate is going to. The SLS is important.
46:52
No matter current cost. Sure it's a lot of money but the
46:55
amount of human knowledge from exploration is immeasurable
46:57
knowledge is power as they say. So basically they're saying man
47:01
just What are you doing? Come on.
47:05
What are you doing to stop? Being a hater.
47:07
SLS haters really depressing? Yeah.
47:10
So and I've experienced my like an amount of haters for the
47:16
channel. There's always a funny comments
47:18
from haters that are just like you don't know anything you know
47:21
or whatever. Whatever it is.
47:23
You know, just like the haters going to hate kind of people.
47:25
You're just like yeah whatever. But it's it's it's bad when
47:32
people. Heat on something that could
47:34
possibly send people to Mars in the future.
47:37
You know, it's a lot of money, you know, it's billions and
47:39
billions of billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars,
47:42
they spent on this thing, but the amount of money they spend
47:44
on it compared to what we get out of it.
47:47
You know, if this helps us move forward from Earth to say, Mars
47:53
any amount of money is worth it, in my opinion and it's usually
47:57
the people that don't understand that.
47:59
Like the sacrifices, you have to make in order to get to the
48:02
point that you need to get to. Those are measurable, you know,
48:07
like you can't really put a price tag on the monetary value
48:13
of Human exploration. And I've said this numerous
48:18
times before, but it's like the people that have explored the
48:22
Earth, you know, have explored, the oceans have all across the
48:26
seas found, new continents, learn new things.
48:30
The people that have found out that the moon actually exists in
48:35
that we orbit a such a star orbit, the sun.
48:39
That's a measurable. How much money did that take?
48:42
How much time does that take? It's a measurable.
48:45
And the money that they spent going into those things.
48:47
That's you know it's a ton of money and the future of
48:51
humanity, you know. It kind of rests on us maybe
48:54
being able to hop from planet to planet in the future future not
48:59
anytime soon because we're not going to be doing any hops
49:01
anytime soon but this is the beginning and we're very baby
49:07
stages. Like The Crawling stages of that
49:09
sort of exploration phase. We got to figure it out, you
49:12
know. Humans we don't Kin.
49:16
We usually don't think in thousands of years or 10,000
49:20
years, or even 100 years because we only last 80 years per
49:25
person. So we don't think what's going
49:27
to happen in 200 years, 300 years, 400 years, 500 thousand
49:31
years, whatever 10,000 years, we don't think that far ahead that
49:33
like these things that we're doing, now will impact the
49:37
future of humanity as a whole. So, a lot of these people, they
49:43
don't think that far ahead. But you have to take it all in,
49:47
you have to put it into perspective like and this is
49:49
important, like, super important.
49:51
And if this works gets us back to the Moon, we learn how to
49:55
build things in situations on other celestial bodies.
50:00
Move on to Mars. We move onto outer planets.
50:03
We move on from there out of the solar system, we move into the
50:06
Galaxy, we move farther and farther out into the universe
50:10
eventually you know thousands of years from about 10,000 years
50:14
from now on. This and you know the technology
50:17
that we're using now is the baby technology.
50:20
Obvious is like we're in a crib, we got a little baba, we're
50:24
shaking a Rattle and we're a little babies, we're going to
50:27
grow up into a human a real human a real person that does
50:32
real things and that's kind of where we are right now with SLS
50:36
with Starship, all that stuff we're it's kind of like okay we
50:38
stalled out You know, for 50 years or whatever.
50:42
And now we're going back because, you know, politics
50:46
basically, basically politics. I don't want to spend the money
50:49
anymore. So yeah, it's it's annoying to
50:52
see these people hate on something so amazing like this
50:55
because they don't realize that. Yeah, people are actually
50:58
building this stuff too and also Jr.
51:00
More I see that Super Chat. You get a Starship launch for
51:03
that. Getting older.
51:04
I'm ready to see boots on Mars in my lifetime.
51:06
It's time to do this Jr. More I agree with you 1,000.
51:10
That I want to see boots on Mars.
51:12
I want to see people on Mars. I think everyone in this chat
51:16
wants to see people on Mars. Everyone that likes spaceflight
51:20
wants to see people on Mars, wants to see humans leave Earth
51:26
and not just go on, you know, it's short trip, low earth,
51:29
orbit trip, you know, I think it's important that we keep
51:32
moving forward. We keep moving little by little.
51:36
This is an iterative process again like these.
51:39
These little changes that we do SLS Starship, maybe the next
51:43
one's bigger, maybe we build a ship in orbit, you know.
51:47
And then we move that we push that out further in the solar
51:51
system because they have more systems that can sustain life.
51:56
You know, Starship and SLS is just the beginning of that and
51:59
also you know blue origin ships to like those are huge.
52:03
Those are super heavy rockets and maybe that's the the future
52:06
and I don't want to leave anybody out, you know?
52:08
Like everybody else is making big.
52:10
It's too, but those are things that are going to be important
52:13
in the future, but you just have to see it.
52:15
You have to see it. Like, you have to expand your
52:17
head a little bit and say, hey, this isn't about me, this isn't
52:23
about me. This is about the kids.
52:27
Kids, kids, kids down the line, the generation.
52:30
This is a generational project as opposed to just me, stop
52:34
being selfish. It's what I'm saying.
52:36
This is about everybody else. This isn't about you, this isn't
52:39
about me. This is about everybody else
52:41
Beyond us. Like I said, Seven Generations
52:44
down the line, they'll look back at this and they'll say, oh look
52:47
at the stupid rocket that they build that thing sucked.
52:51
And then now they're going to be on some multi generational ship
52:55
going like further out in the solar system are going to be
52:58
like wow SLS was like a piece of junk compared to what we got.
53:01
You know, it's like you look back at you know, early
53:06
hand-crank cars or early flight, you know, the Wright brothers
53:10
flight compared to a falcon 9 What the heck?
53:13
You know, like forget thing's a piece of junk Wright brothers,
53:18
Wright, brothers. Can't even go like a football
53:20
field, you know, like they can, they could barely go 100 yards.
53:24
So but now we're sending people back to the moon and future
53:28
Generations will be Going further on.
53:32
So, that's that's what this is about.
53:34
So this the hater Taylor, you know, I'm like my piece of
53:40
advice, just, whatever, ignore them.
53:42
They're stupid. So that's all I'm saying.
53:46
There's my diatribe about giant rockets for today.
53:51
So thanks everybody for listening on that.
53:54
Let's see where we at here? Gr more, they say, SLS is faulty
53:57
problems are just like with Boeing Starliner.
54:00
Yeah, there's there's some problems they're going to run
54:02
into some the problems that they have now you know, they have to
54:09
move it back to the garage and they have to fix that stuff up.
54:12
So they'll figure out what it is.
54:14
And hopefully they'll get the part fix and they'll get that
54:16
area fixed and they'll, you know, the move forward with that
54:21
design. You know, the move forward with
54:23
the SLS. And then SLS, 2 3 4, etc, etc.
54:26
Vicky Miller says reality is money does matter money.
54:29
Does matter. Better and I'm not, I'm not
54:31
saying that it doesn't, I'm saying that there's things that
54:35
are bigger than money, there's things that are bigger than us,
54:38
in money is important and we need to take care of people on
54:41
Earth as well. I totally agree, totally see
54:43
that. But I also see the big picture
54:47
of the huge picture which is the future of humanity is in the
54:52
Stars. Then I want to contribute
54:55
Kristen says I want to contribute to Starship program
54:57
as studying astrophysics right now and hopefully in a couple of
55:00
years. Yeah keep at it keep at it.
55:02
The thing you could do you know is contribute to the community
55:06
contribute to the content creators and the people that are
55:09
super important. You know the things that you're
55:11
doing are important as well. Astrophysics like I tried it I
55:15
don't know what the heck I'm doing like I was I was like
55:18
what? I was like, this is cool but the
55:21
way too much math. The very cool though.
55:23
I'm Amateur. Well, I was never sure.
55:28
What's that word? Astronaut astrophysicists?
55:32
I guess something on my mic to, by the way.
55:33
But I gotta get this thing off. Is bugging me.
55:35
There we go. Astrophotographer.
55:38
There we go. Amateur apps astrophotographer,
55:41
and it's beautiful, and it's important.
55:44
So, keep doing what you're doing, like, it's going to help
55:46
in the future. Yeah so keep keep doing it man.
55:52
Hypersonic monkey brains awesome Name.
55:55
By the way, I want to see people and Dome cities on the ocean
55:57
floor. That would be cool too.
55:59
That would be cool to explore everything like I'm all for
56:02
exploring everything. Like, I don't just want to go
56:04
up. I want to go down.
56:05
I want to go across. I want to go.
56:07
There's a whole 3D realm 45d realm that we need to explore
56:12
and, you know, we need to get out there.
56:14
I think that's important. Ilana, ussf in NASA, are taking
56:20
a serious. Look at nuclear propulsion,
56:22
Michael. I think if they figure that out,
56:25
I think you would be a huge, huge game changer.
56:28
It's just, the people are afraid of nuclear propulsion, you know,
56:32
if they never said anything about it, you know if it was
56:35
like okay this is the Black Ops SpaceX flight and nuclear
56:40
propulsion. They figured it out you know and
56:43
they just launched it up there and try to you know try to test
56:45
it or whatever within the Legal bounds.
56:48
You know, the legal realm, get it far enough out into the solar
56:50
system and then they could test it out.
56:52
So it's not close to Earth. The, I think it would be really
56:58
cool because nuclear propulsion, if they could figure it out,
57:01
we're going everywhere. My 14 year old son wants to
57:04
study engineering so he can work on Mars dude.
57:06
That's cool. That's really cool.
57:09
There's a whole generation of people that are 100% going to go
57:13
to Mars. You know, I think it's gonna be
57:15
really cool. That's the future, you know?
57:19
Marina says, I don't mind SLS going, but it's launches so
57:24
expensive. Artemis requires constant, human
57:25
presence on the moon. Not sure about the future of SLS
57:28
in it. Yeah, and it'll change over
57:29
time, you know, like, that's that kind of stuff is going to
57:31
take change over time too. Reducing fuel.
57:38
Wait, Neil says reducing fuel weight important.
57:41
Yes, 100%, 100%. Get those people out there and
57:45
then you can have other stuff in your rocket.
57:47
If you want to, you know, launch big, big payloads, huge
57:52
payloads, instead of having the whole ship basically, the whole
57:55
ship is fuel. And then like the very top of
57:58
SLS is a little tiny, little tiny people at the top but the
58:03
whole other part of it is like it's just Fuel and then it gets
58:08
Discarded into the ocean which is unfortunate, but back then
58:11
they didn't think about reusability.
58:12
The engineers didn't really. Like it wasn't really a thing
58:14
yet. When they started this whole
58:16
program, it was like just in the infancy phase of, like we're
58:19
using Rockets because everyone's like yeah it's not going to
58:21
work. Like we've done it this way and
58:23
it works that's why that's what SLS is.
58:26
We've done it with this this and this technology it works.
58:30
We know it works. The taxpayers aren't going to
58:35
pay us multiple billions of dollars.
58:37
Like We're not going to take that money, multiple billions of
58:39
dollars just to test these systems that make not work.
58:43
And then the whole thing gets scrapped but if you have these
58:46
proven Technologies like the Rockets from the space shuttle
58:50
worked so oh that's for use those make sense and the other
58:54
things similar to Apollo program.
58:57
Check Anna Crockett little thing on top of people in it.
59:00
That's what you do. So That's what they did and
59:05
fortunately you know, it works maybe we'll see, we'll see.
59:10
Hopefully it works. Yeah.
59:14
Launches. Yeah.
59:15
The launch is going to be expensive, though.
59:16
I mean the thing is the thing is giant.
59:18
Why not least land down the road across the border and hold up a
59:21
big face environmentalist? David princess, you just put a
59:26
giant sign over there with the middle finger, the giant
59:30
billboard That'd be horrible. That'd be horrible thing.
59:35
I mean, if I'm across the border in Mexico, you can fly drones.
59:40
So there's a, there's a been, some drone shots of Starship and
59:44
the launch facility from Mexico and from that area, it's totally
59:48
fine to do that. But on the US side you have to
59:50
go by u.s. regulations. So you're not allowed to fly
59:54
drones in the no-fly zone around Starship and Starbase I looked
59:58
into this like part of my my job as a Content producer.
1:00:03
Is also figuring out what I can and can't do.
1:00:07
So being on the side of highway for is totally fine.
1:00:10
Being on the dunes is fine. Just don't go crazy.
1:00:13
Don't go outside of the the environmental Zone.
1:00:16
There. Don't go into the endangered
1:00:17
zone. So doing that totally cool, but
1:00:24
flying a drone, not cool at all. So but you have for your on the
1:00:28
Mexican side, there are certain parts where you can just fly a
1:00:30
drone and I've seen footage from Mexican side.
1:00:33
Pointing over at Starbase and I do it.
1:00:36
I thought about it. I thought about going to Mexico
1:00:39
with a drone during the launch and filming for Mexico but
1:00:43
getting down to that area I'm not sure how to do it and I
1:00:47
don't know if it's accessible to regular people like near
1:00:51
Starship and like you know where I'm at right now like I'm in
1:00:55
Brownsville so I'm 20 miles away from Starship 25 miles away
1:00:58
whatever somewhere around there The the fact that it's a toss-up
1:01:06
of where to go, you know, for a drone flight.
1:01:08
So, in Texas is really weird about drone flights to unless
1:01:10
you're a commercial drone operator.
1:01:12
So, that's one thing that you have to think about too, when
1:01:15
you doing all these, when you doing live stuff, and when
1:01:18
you're filming Starbase and things, do you think that 100
1:01:22
people per Starship is a bit too much Christian?
1:01:26
I think that's a lot. There's a lot that's going to be
1:01:29
packed. But if you think about it, there
1:01:33
are Explorers. So, back in the day, you know,
1:01:35
like boats, that would cross the Seas, hundreds of people would
1:01:38
be on those boats. It would be a horrible place to
1:01:40
be, you know, there'd be rats, you know, people would die from
1:01:45
plagues and stuff on the boat because there's so many people
1:01:47
packed in but also a hundred people on a Starship that's a
1:01:51
lot. So, I'm thinking, Neil and I did
1:01:53
a podcast about this a long time ago about how many people we
1:01:56
think could be in the the launch of a Starship.
1:02:00
If and we came up with a number between 12 and 16 or something
1:02:03
like that, the Starship to to Mars, and I have to find that
1:02:08
pod cast because it's really cool.
1:02:10
And I want to take a clip from it and post it up again because
1:02:13
it's a little bit older but it's still relevant.
1:02:15
And I got to post up a clip of it, but we thought is going to
1:02:18
be somewhere around there like somewhere between like, it was
1:02:21
like 12 and 20 somewhere in that area.
1:02:25
But yeah, I think 100 is a lot of people in a Starship.
1:02:28
I've seen the starship, Pretty close.
1:02:31
It's a big thing in 100 people in there would be a lot of
1:02:36
people that is heatlh. It's packed in there like
1:02:39
sardines. Plus you're in a tin can you
1:02:41
know like you're in a steel can lie on a tube.
1:02:44
So 100 people there is just I think that's to money, you know,
1:02:49
it's to go out in the solar system, but maybe local flights,
1:02:54
you know, how to 100 people from like New York to Tokyo would be
1:02:57
okay but still, that's it. It's a big ship.
1:03:00
So there's a lot of it that's not used for people to.
1:03:06
So packing people in would be pretty good, be pretty tight but
1:03:10
it's also like an airliner, you know like you're pretty
1:03:12
tightening. Are in a plane too.
1:03:18
Humanity social environmental problems cannot be solved by
1:03:20
throwing money out of. Yeah I agree.
1:03:21
Michael how 2% I'm going to says I think is natural when they
1:03:26
have some idea for spaceflight like reusability.
1:03:28
They grow and more confident and capable of thinking about
1:03:31
nuclear propulsion and other more advanced ones I agree.
1:03:34
Yeah. The more, the more people get
1:03:36
into this industry to the more ideas we have.
1:03:38
So it's like, if you put, you know, there's like, let's just
1:03:41
say 100,000 people in the spaceflight industry right now,
1:03:45
and let's just say there's 10,000.
1:03:48
Engineers, okay, ten thousand Engineers.
1:03:50
What if we had a million Engineers?
1:03:52
We'd have a lot more stuff done. So more people need to become
1:03:55
engineers to have better ideas. Super smart people, people like
1:04:01
Elon who have the idea of reusable Rockets like he's one
1:04:04
of those Ilion people, you know, like people like him.
1:04:07
Don't come along and people that are, you know, very good at
1:04:11
business stuff to, you know, he has his team team, helps him out
1:04:14
with a business stuff, there's haters going to hate a deal on
1:04:16
for his business stuff. But he gets the job done and he
1:04:19
makes rockets that actually work.
1:04:20
So very cool. 100 people for point to point on Earth.
1:04:24
As he Davis says, put a point on Earth is it unreasonable for
1:04:29
long-term motor further? It needs to come down once.
1:04:31
Infrastructure is in place. They can go back up but not to
1:04:34
100. Yeah, I think so too.
1:04:36
That's a lot of people in that tube like it's big.
1:04:42
But point-to-point would be okay, I think but it's still
1:04:44
going to be, it's still pretty. So be pretty packed in there
1:04:48
because most of the ship isn't for people.
1:04:50
You know, maybe multiple Starships could launch and
1:04:54
synchronization travel together allowing space walks between
1:04:59
them. One could be dedicated to
1:05:01
Leisure 14 supplies one for accommodation.
1:05:03
That would be sick. That's like a huge space
1:05:05
station. That's just flying through the
1:05:06
solar system. How cool would that be?
1:05:09
So it's like Battlestar Galactica.
1:05:10
Have you ever seen that show? You're seeing Battlestar
1:05:12
Galactica, my favorite Sci-Fi show ever, they have different
1:05:16
ships that do different things so they have like a Leisure ship
1:05:20
and they have like a fuel ship and they have like all these
1:05:23
other ship. So it's basically like
1:05:24
Battlestar Galactica but not with the finding of cylons in
1:05:28
the, you know, the drums and the attitude edit edit edit.
1:05:32
There's no tension. You know we're not going to find
1:05:35
us that we're not going to build a cylons.
1:05:36
Maybe Ilan will. Oh my God.
1:05:40
What if Elon is building Battlestar Galactica in real
1:05:45
life because the Tesla bot could be a Cylon?
1:05:49
And then Starship is Battlestar Galactica.
1:05:52
There we go. We figured it out.
1:05:55
Whew, that was a tough one. That was a tough one.
1:06:00
Okay. You can pack a hundred people.
1:06:04
Michael Maxie says into a Starship.
1:06:07
Most of them slept for most of the trip to Mars.
1:06:10
Yeah, that's true. If not a lot of people are
1:06:12
eating and doing other stuff and moving around a lot, like I
1:06:15
would sleep, I mean it's six months, right?
1:06:17
Three to six months somewhere around there or more.
1:06:21
So six months put me in a you know, sleep induced coma or
1:06:25
whatever. I'll be one of those people.
1:06:27
I'll sleep for six months. That be cool.
1:06:31
Much better to have a million Engineers than a million retail
1:06:34
workers. Yeah, I agree.
1:06:35
I agree. Nucleon just will change
1:06:38
everything free up all that space taken up by the fuel
1:06:40
tanks. Yeah.
1:06:40
And then you can put thousands of people in it Starship.
1:06:43
If you can put, you know, 500 people.
1:06:45
Maybe think is amazing. How mr.
1:06:48
Musk is always thinking. What's next Bob break, I agree
1:06:50
with you. It's always Him and his team are
1:06:54
always thinking about what's next and that's what's amazing
1:06:57
about SpaceX. And Starship.
1:07:01
Whoo, that's cold. Okay, so I think that's going to
1:07:05
be it for today, guys. Thank you so much for the
1:07:08
conversation. I really do appreciate it and I
1:07:10
really do love to talk with you guys about this stuff because
1:07:13
it's awesome. It's fun to talk about elon's
1:07:19
future endeavors and all the things that are happening with
1:07:21
SLS and happening with, you know, all the things that are
1:07:26
happening to spaceflight tune in again, on Wednesday, at noon.
