  Hey everybody. Welcome back to the space news
• 1:06
  pod. This is a show about SpaceX NASA
• 1:08
  and space flight. I'm your host will Walden.
• 1:11
  And in this episode we're going to be talking about spacex's
• 1:14
  Starship, booster the next one, not the one that's there right
• 1:18
  now, getting tested and built. But the next version of the
• 1:21
  booster also because I saw some sections for the booster
• 1:24
  yesterday that I think there's eight or nine of them.
• 1:27
  I think I counted eight or nine and that's a pretty big deal
• 1:30
  because if they're going to be building this booster, they're
• 1:33
  going to make sure that it's ready.
• 1:34
  When the first booster does its flight, or after it, the first
• 1:39
  booster does its flight and they'll be ready with booster
• 1:41
  five like immediately. And then ship it down to the
• 1:44
  launch site, do the testing, and then launch another one.
• 1:47
  Like that's pretty much what they plan on doing.
• 1:48
  So I want to show you that right now, check this out.
• 1:52
  This is this is down to Starbase yesterday.
• 1:54
  This is on our second Channel. We have a second Channel
• 1:57
  dedicated to specifically to Starbase I go down there almost
• 2:02
  every single day. It's called Starbase or Starship
• 2:04
  daily. We've got on to Starbase every
• 2:06
  single day, usually every day and yesterday, I got this cool
• 2:11
  footage of these sections for the booster, right?
• 2:17
  This is the new booster. This isn't the one that's on the
• 2:19
  launch pad right now are on the launch site.
• 2:21
  This is the one that's being built and saw these and I was
• 2:25
  like, man, this is just cool. I gotta I just gotta film this
• 2:28
  stuff and I was Look man. It's it's a rugged place down
• 2:33
  there. It's a really rugged place.
• 2:34
  You're out in the middle of nowhere.
• 2:35
  Yeah we got about eight or nine sections and you can kind of see
• 2:39
  all of them in this one. And there's some small ones,
• 2:42
  some some bigger ones. But we'll see what happens in
• 2:44
  the next couple days. I'll make sure to keep you guys
• 2:46
  up to date on Starship daily on that channel.
• 2:49
  So youtube.com slash Starship daily, I'll make a link up here.

• 3:00
  thing that we're doing. Doing here.

  And we always try to expand our Horizons at the space news pod.
• 3:04
  So, the other thing is SpaceX, is taking a couple days off from
• 3:09

• 3:12
  want to show you this to the next road closure is Thursday
• 3:16

• 3:21
  Saturday between 12:00 a.m. and 1:00.

• 5:53
  be happening with Starbase during the time that they don't
• 5:58
  have any road closures? So do you think they're going to
• 6:00
  To be building up and getting ready for some pressure test and
• 6:05
  some cryo test for booster, you think they're going to cryo test
• 6:08
  or pressure test. Starship again, let me know in
• 6:11
  the comments. Let's have a discussion down
• 6:13
  below. I want to see what you guys
• 6:14
  think about that, because I have some ideas, but I don't know if
• 6:20
  everybody thinks the same way as I do.
• 6:21
  So I like to discuss these things.
• 6:22
  It's really great to have everybody on board in to talk
• 6:26
  about different stuff. Now, this is different.
• 6:28
  This is blue origin. Listen to this.
• 6:30
  Blue origin's, new Shepherd NS 18, which is happening on
• 6:33
  October 12. This is the cool thing, man.
• 6:37
  I'm going to I'm just going to be honest with you.
• 6:40
  I'd like blue origin and I'm just going to say right now like
• 6:44
  I'm a fan of space flight. I'd like that blue origin as a
• 6:47
  thing. I might not agree with all of
• 6:49
  their practices but I liked it. There are touristy kind of
• 6:53
  rockets that are happening because this will push us to the
• 6:56
  next thing which is commercial space flight.
• 7:00
  For you and for me. So, NS 18, October. 12th, we
• 7:05
  will live stream this on this channel, so make sure to come
• 7:08
  back for that. Liftoff is 8:30 a.m.
• 7:11
  CDT from launch site in West Texas.
• 7:16
  I'm in, I'm at Starbase basically, so I can't go to that
• 7:21
  with us too far away. So we're going to be bringing to
• 7:24
  you live on this channel, though, but the cool thing about
• 7:27
  this. So there's there's one cool
• 7:29
  thing. Jeff Bezos has a really good way
• 7:33
  of bringing in people that will get attention right?
• 7:37
  So the first launch with Jeff that got a lot of attention but
• 7:41
  this next one, check this out, blue origin on Twitter to
• 7:47
  incredible. Inspirational people will join
• 7:48
  the NS 18, crew actor, William Shatner and blue origin's, vice
• 7:53
  president of mission and flight operations.
• 7:55
  Audrey Powers will be joining the flight so Captain Kirk
• 8:01
  William Shatner confirmed this. So now I can say something.
• 8:04
  Yes, it's true. I'm going to be a rocket, man.
• 8:07
  What the heck? When did I grew even thought
• 8:10
  that world? Is this guy, you know?
• 8:12
  But if William Shatner, who's he's a pretty old dude, right?
• 8:17
  If he can go on a flight, To space.
• 8:22
  Well, let's argue. We can argue that anytime you
• 8:25
  want to, but if on a rocket, right, let's just say on a
• 8:29
  rocket William Shatner can fly out of rocket that would say
• 8:33
  that. Hey, he's okay, like he's going
• 8:36
  to make it. He's going to be fine.
• 8:38
  So that'll open up the doors for commercial space flight for you
• 8:42
  and me. So that's a cool thing that
• 8:44
  happened with blue origin. Hopefully everything goes well
• 8:48
  and I say 18 is going to be Pretty monumental.
• 8:53
  As far as the space flights go. Because everybody loves William
• 8:56
  Shatner. He's just a cool like, cool
• 8:59
  character, you know? So speaking of cool characters
• 9:02
  like you like that transition, that was really good.
• 9:05
  I'm going to go to this Elon Musk on Twitter.
• 9:09
  Lab Padre has some of the best cameras pointed at Starbase at
• 9:14
  all times. And check those guys out at lab
• 9:18
  Padre and also that Padres YouTube channel, you Lon Tweet
• 9:22
  the mystery tweeted. This actually, from Lab Padre.
• 9:25
  This was the storm. We had the other day.
• 9:27
  This storm was crazy. This is my first flood I've ever
• 9:31
  been in. So as you can see, there's
• 9:35
  lightning this electrical storms going on around Starship
• 9:39
  Starbase it's just it's crazy how insane that storm was but it
• 9:46
  was like super high gust, winds, my caramels got flooded, you
• 9:50
  know, it's one of the like it was Deep, you know, I've never
• 9:53
  been in a flood like that before.
• 9:54
  It was a flash flood. So everything is fine here in
• 9:58
  the in the home front here. But this is a really cool thing
• 10:03
  that a lap Padres cameras caught.
• 10:05
  And Elon Musk said, this is real, by the way, because some
• 10:07
  people were probably like, yeah. Okay.
• 10:09
  You'll on whatever you have a bazillion dollars, you just
• 10:11
  going to CGI this. No, this is real, this happened.
• 10:14
  I have a friend that was down there, like, documenting all of
• 10:18
  this and she said, yeah, it's crazy.
• 10:21
  So she like stayed on the side of the road, the whole time
• 10:24
  during this this storm and she was documenting everything.
• 10:28
  And yeah. It was, it was a pretty wild
• 10:31
  Wild Storm. Now, Ilan had another tweet
• 10:34
  another reply to a tweet, actually saw your merits, the
• 10:37
  decades or decade after job. Steph has Apple traded magic for
• 10:41
  profit. Sawyer Merit at Sawyer Merit on
• 10:44
  Twitter, Ilan said I wish I had had the opportunity to talk to
• 10:49
  him. Till two, Brilliant Minds, no
• 10:53
  matter what you think of either of them, they did some amazing
• 10:56
  things. You know, we have our phones, we
• 10:59
  have our iPhones because you know, somebody like Steve Jobs
• 11:02
  and his crew Everybody, the work there we have starships and we
• 11:06
  have Tesla's and we have all sorts of fun things from Elan
• 11:10
  because of elon's great mind and also the people that work there.
• 11:14
  So it would be cool to have them both in a room just to have a
• 11:18
  chat. That would be really be
• 11:20
  interesting. But yeah, let me know what you
• 11:22
  think is going to happen at Starbase this week for the next
• 11:26
  couple days. I'm going to try to get down
• 11:27
  there every day and document everything for you.
• 11:30
  So go check out, Starship, daily, youtube.com slash
• 11:33
  Starship daily and I'll leave it in the description and first
• 11:36
  comment below. So let me know.
• 11:38
  Bye-bye, everybody.
