• 0:10
  And on this episode, we're going to be talking about Starship,
• 0:13
  we're going to be talking about Starship daily, we're going to
• 0:16
  be talking about all sorts of fun stuff regarding SpaceX
• 0:21
  Starbase Starship, Elon Musk Jeff Bezos and how elon's pretty
• 0:26
  rich. So let's get into the meat of
• 0:29
  the subject. Right here.
• 0:30
  Okay, so Starbase I've been going there.
• 0:32
  Every day started a new channel called star, ship daily,
• 0:37
  youtube.com slash Starship daily.
• 0:40
  We're almost at 1000 subscribers.
• 0:42
  So if you could do me a huge, huge favor and be greatly
• 0:46
  appreciative. If you go over there,
• 0:48
  youtube.com slash Starship daily subscribe.
• 0:50
  It's raw footage of Starship every single day that I'm able
• 0:55
  to get down there. But today the weather is just
• 0:57
  horrible. So I'm not sure if I'll be able
• 0:59
  to get down, Today. So if I can, I will but it's
• 1:03
  been raining looking out my window right now.
• 1:04
  It's pouring rain right now and we're supposed to be, there's
• 1:07
  some flood watches and stuff like that around Starbase.
• 1:10
  So got to be safe. Don't want to go down there get
• 1:13
  stranded. Also, don't want to go down
• 1:15
  there and not be able to get down there.
• 1:18
  You know what I'm saying? Because maybe the, the roads are
• 1:21
  flooded or washed out or something, and it's happened
• 1:24
  before. The roads have been flooded
• 1:26
  yesterday. They were very flooded in a
• 1:29
  couple spots. So, it's got to be careful out
• 1:31
  there, so if I can get there today.
• 1:32
  Cool, if not, we'll go tomorrow, but Starship daily.
• 1:36
  Check that out. Now, what we're really talking
• 1:39
  about here, this is the meat and potatoes of everything when will
• 1:42
  Starship launch SpaceX has a ton of work to do on Starships till
• 1:47
  we saw that the that cryo test from the other night was
• 1:50
  successful. They did a pressure test the
• 1:53
  other day, to Blue some tiles off the nose of Starship and I
• 1:58
  have some footage of that. Starship deal.
• 2:00
  If you want to check that out of the area where it was blown out,
• 2:05
  also, they have, they still have to do the QT arm, they still
• 2:10
  have to put together everything on the booster.
• 2:13
  You know, make sure everything on the booster works.
• 2:15
  They have to do static fires. They have a ton of work to do
• 2:18
  but it's been postponed by the FAA.
• 2:23
  The launch has been postponed by the f.a.a. and let's get into
• 2:28
  that a tiny bit here. Then we'll go forward with like
• 2:31
  what's going to be happening. Next, I want to show you this
• 2:33
  tweet from Michael Baylor because Michael is a reputable
• 2:40
  Source been around for a long time knows what's going on
• 2:43
  knows, what will probably happen, considering what's
• 2:47
  happened in the past. So Eric Burger, I got the email
• 2:51

  you with it it's really powerful in is really easy to use so go
• 4:59
  to back plays Dot /I Elan back place.com, slash Ilan
• 5:04
  backblaze.com Ilan to gather all the public comments for the
• 5:12
  SpaceX Starship program. The super-heavy launch program
• 5:17
  at Boca Chica, for November for a so virtual hearings have been
• 5:21
  moved to October 18th in October 20th, at 5 p.m.
• 5:26
  CT. So that means we have about
• 5:29
  another month. Month before anything is stable
• 5:35
  as far as the public opinion goes, right?
• 5:37
  So like everybody probably flooded the comments because
• 5:42
  Elon tweeted please show your support basically and Ilan has
• 5:46
  millions of followers. So when Ilan says something, if
• 5:50
  he has me, you know, tens of millions of followers and that
• 5:54
  gets picked up by news, outlets gets picked up by other places.
• 5:58
  Tweet it all over the place. Did heart everything.
• 6:01
  So millions of people probably spoke up and said we want this
• 6:05
  Starship to launch. So, how long is it going to take
• 6:07
  the FAA? A federal government agency to
• 6:13
  go through millions of those emails.
• 6:16
  It's not just a yes, or no people can write in their
• 6:18
  comments. So, there could be people that
• 6:20
  write paragraphs have pages and pages of things to them, right.
• 6:24
  So they could write so much in the FAA has to go through every
• 6:29
  single one of those. They have to say yes or no to
• 6:31
  every single one of those. They have to write it down.
• 6:33
  They have to make sure that everybody has all the
• 6:35
  information. To know that SpaceX is going to
• 6:40
  launch or not launch due to the FAA and due to the public
• 6:44
  opinion. So, Michael Baylor, let's get
• 6:46
  back to this tweet. The FAA will not be ready to
• 6:49
  support a Starship orbital launch in 2021, but the odds of
• 6:53
  SpaceX being ready in 2021 from a technical standpoint are also
• 6:58
  slipping still a lot of work to go.
• 7:01
  I go down there every day. I see how hard those people work
• 7:05
  without those people. For making those machines, that
• 7:08
  will eventually make the machines that make the machines
• 7:11
  that make the Starships. We wouldn't have this program,
• 7:15
  so those people are super important and I want to document
• 7:17
  that stuff, but it's a lot of work.
• 7:21
  You can see some stuff happening, you know, like the
• 7:23
  big events, like a cryo test on a Starship.
• 7:26
  That's a huge event. But also that's a tiny piece of
• 7:31
  all the other tiny pieces that get put together to build a
• 7:35
  Starship to build that platform to launch a Starship, super
• 7:39
  heavy to orbit. Okay.
• 7:41
  So Michael says SpaceX being ready in 2021 from a technical
• 7:48
  standpoint or also slipping, so we might not see Starship even
• 7:53
  ready by the end of this year. And I really hope they are.
• 7:57
  I really, really do? I really hope they are ready,
• 8:00
  but it's, it is totally possible that they're not ready by the
• 8:03
  end of 2020 one, and that's totally fine.
• 8:05
  Let him get everything perfectly.
• 8:07
  Well, figured out situated for the first one.
• 8:10
  The first one is always the weirdest one, right?
• 8:12
  So like, the first launch is always kind of weird.
• 8:15
  Second, one gets better. Third one gets better.
• 8:17
  Fourth, fifth, Etc. They keep growing.
• 8:19
  Look at Falcon 9. I mean, right now it's almost
• 8:23
  perfect. Every launch and Landing So
• 8:26
  that's what's going to happen with Starship eventually.
• 8:28
  So the first one is going to be weird and Michael Baylor.
• 8:31
  Basically put it out there like hey maybe this isn't going to be
• 8:34
  happening at the end of this year.
• 8:36
  Dominic D, been dinelli 7 on Twitter said, what is the
• 8:41
  timeframe for FAA to review public comments?
• 8:44
  This is important, too. Because Michael Baylor tweeted
• 8:48
  about this. This is, this is a really great
• 8:50
  tweet. Treats, tweet storm.
• 8:53
  I should say from Michael. Michael says, it will take the
• 8:57
  several months to consider the public comments.
• 9:01
  Once the public comment period ends then the FAA will have to
• 9:04
  publish the final drafted decision, then the FAA can
• 9:07
  finish up in a ward, the launch license.
• 9:09
  It's a long process. So, several months could be two
• 9:12
  to three months. So November ends Or November 1st
• 9:18
  is when this thing is happening according to this November
• 9:21
  first. The virtual hearings also, but
• 9:25
  November 1st December. So that's one month.
• 9:29
  January February, probably in February for the final outcome
• 9:34
  from the FAA with the public opinion.
• 9:39
  So Michael is probably right. I don't like this either.
• 9:44
  Like there's something there. Tons of comments down here.
• 9:46
  And tons of tons of tweets, tweet replies, but Michaels
• 9:51
  probably right, probably early next year, you know,
• 9:54
  january-february, if they go through it.
• 9:57
  Like I was saying before, there's some people that write
• 9:59
  pages and pages of stuff for this, as people that write in
• 10:03
  that the say yes launch it you know something like that or go
• 10:06
  SpaceX, you know and what is go SpaceX mean.
• 10:09
  Now the FAA has to take that into consideration.
• 10:12
  So who knows, who knows what people wrote in so the Fe has to
• 10:17
  go through everybody's comments. And then they have to see if you
• 10:22
  know they have to put them in a yes or no checkbox so might be
• 10:25
  next I might be next year guys. So unfortunately, that's you
• 10:29
  know not a good thing but I'm glad you stuck around with me
• 10:34
  this long because we have a few more things to talk about.
• 10:37
  There was a road closure this morning for Starship down to
• 10:41
  Starbase and that was between early morning till till midday
• 10:46
  that's over. Now it's about 1:00 here but
• 10:48
  there's other Road closures happening next week, Friday.
• 10:52
  October 1st that's today, 6 a.m. to noon and then Monday between
• 10:57
  5:00 and midnight, 5 p.m. to midnight.
• 11:00
  So this weekend I'll be down there shooting photos and video
• 11:03
  for Starship daily and I'll bring that to you as much as I
• 11:06
  can. So here's another thing, real
• 11:08
  quick way to get to this real quick because I think it's
• 11:10
  funny. We always have to have a good
• 11:12
  time, right? Like that's the, that's the
• 11:14
  point of all of this stuff. We're all fans of space travel.
• 11:17
  We're all fans of space exploration, but also People are
• 11:20
  involved and people make these things so Elon Musk.
• 11:24
  Eclipse, the 200 billion dollars to become the richest person in
• 11:28
  the world again. Yeah, Elon Musk became the third
• 11:33
  person to ever be worth 200 billion dollars on Monday
• 11:37
  writing a surging Tesla stock then.
• 11:39
  In turn made him the richest person in the world.
• 11:41
  In this is from rises from Forbes, Kendrick Chi from
• 11:46
  forbes.com, so Elon richest person in the world writing that
• 11:52
  test the wave up. Get that money Ilan, because
• 11:56
  then you can invest it in other things like space travel.
• 12:00
  Now, you Ilan also, Ilan says he's sending Jeff Bezos.
• 12:04
  A silver medal in a giant statue of the number two, after
• 12:08
  surpassing him again, to become the world's richest person, this
• 12:12
