Russia to Deorbit Space Station and Starship Booster 4 News [From Starbase Studio B] · Elon Musk Podcast

0:42
Hello everybody. Welcome back to the space news
0:47
pod. Today, we are going to be
0:49
talking about the International Space Station.
0:52
We're going to be talking about Starship a little bit, we're
0:55
going to be talking a little bit about starlink as well.
0:58
So let's first get into this International Space Station
1:02
stuff. Okay?
1:03
So it has something to do with SpaceX.
1:06
So you're in the right place. If you're a SpaceX fan and also,
1:09
welcome everybody to the live chat.
1:11
This is Live stream. So if you here after the fact,
1:14
make sure to pay attention. Here we go.
1:16
Deb's, what's up? Hey, what's up everybody?
1:18
Welcome chat with this. We're at Studio B by the way,
1:21
we're at Starbase Studio. Be about 25 minutes away from
1:27
actual Starbase SpaceX is Starbase in Boca Chica Texas.
1:30
I'm here today, little bit. Yeah, the weather's not so good
1:33
today so I'm here in the studio hanging out and I'm going to be
1:36
going down to Starbase later on today.
1:38
Possibly live stream from there but I'm not quite sure about Out
1:41
that I'm still trying to figure out some of the details about
1:46
what happened last time. What kind of failures we had
1:48
with the hardware and software? So stay tuned for that too.
1:53
But some Perpetual nerd. Welcome back everybody.
1:56
Yeah, this is the first this I think this is the first show
1:59
we've done since from the studio.
2:02
Live one maybe first one of the first one of the first.
2:05
So anyway we're going to get back into that kind of stuff
2:10
soon, but I want to let you guys know what's going on.
2:14
First and foremost, let's talk about Starship because Starship
2:18
is only about 25 miles away in a lot of the audience here, love
2:21
Starships. So let's get into that.
2:23
Let's talk about that for a second and I want to show you
2:25
some of the road closures that are going to be happening this
2:27
how we kind of Judge things for Starship.
2:30
The what kind of road closures are At what kind of events have
2:33
happened at Starbase so we can figure out what's going to
2:37
happen at Starbase because it's crazy.
2:39
It's crazy down. There things are happening all
2:41
the time. They're moving part, A two-part,
2:43
be putting things together, putting boosters together,
2:47
putting ships together and also hopefully launching a Starship
2:51
sometime in the spring or summer of this year.
2:54
So let's take a look at these road closures real quick.
2:59
primary date Monday was canceled today, cancelled Tomorrow, road
3:06
closures are canceled and usually what they do a road
3:08
closure, just so everybody knows the road closures are for SpaceX
3:13
to test things at Starbase. So, usually road closure means
3:17
they're doing some heavy lifting of a Starship or a booster or
3:21
something like that or they're moving, something down the road
3:25
or the doing some testing cryogenic testing, static fire
3:30
pressure, testing things like that on one of the ships.
3:34
So, these road closures are very important to see what's going on
3:38
down at Starbase. Thursday, a closure is scheduled
3:42
from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., that's a 12-hour road closure.
3:47
Thursday, March 10th 2022, Friday, March 11th 2022.
3:52
This is the backup date. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. all day long usually
3:58
on Fridays. They do it from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
4:03
but for some reason they're doing it on this Friday March
4:05
11th. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., we have
4:10
a secondary date as well. Another backup date next Monday,
4:16
From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. so. Yes, Starship Starbase it's a
4:24
lot happening down there. Just recently, they were moving
4:29
the catch arms and the catcher. Arms are wish.
4:31
I had a model of these, but the catch arms are a it's a device
4:36
that holds the Starship in place or holds the booster and place,
4:38
as they're lifting it up, stacking out onto each other.
4:41
We're moving it off the pad to another transport device or
4:44
another pad. And just recently, they moved
4:49
the Chopsticks, the lift arms up and down, open them up.
4:53
Put them back down, move them around.
4:55
So we're expecting. The last time they did this.
4:59
They moved a Starship with the arms so they could just be doing
5:04
some testing to see what the, you know, what the hardware and
5:09
the software worked the show is brought to you by backblaze.
5:12
I use back place to backup my podcast, my video files, all of
5:16
my writing stuff, and all my photos.
5:18
And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs and PCs for
5:21
just $7 a month. You can backup your own
5:24
documents photos videos, drawings projects, all of your
5:28
data and access Your backed up data from anywhere in the world
5:31
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
5:34
to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
5:38
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
5:40
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
5:43
to your door. I could come to your business to
5:45
and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
5:49
hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
5:52
and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
5:55
hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
5:58
it. Which The perfect program for
6:00
somebody who has huge files and you don't want to waste days and
6:03
days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
6:07
And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
6:08
files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
6:12
history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
6:15
Files comes in super handy. So seven dollars plus two
6:19
dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.

So go to back place.com slash Ilan, back plays.com Ilan
7:18
backblaze.com, Ilan together to lift the booster off the pad and
7:25
onto a transport, or onto another pad.
7:28
So they can work on stage 0, which is underneath where the
7:33
booster is right now, where the boosters sitting.
7:36
Let me see if I have this like, kind of a, this is kind of,
7:40
let's check this out. So that's that's what the
7:42
booster looks like right now on the pad.
7:46
So and I don't have the catch arms handy here, but they would
7:50
lift. As booster off, this thing is
7:51
250 feet tall. This thing is gigantic that I'm
7:55
rounding to a certain number. I think it's 260 something but
7:58
it's about 250 feet tall, it's huge, nine, meters in diameter.
8:03
They have these giant arms possibly on Thursday, this was
8:06
going to happen. They're gonna move this booster
8:08
off the pad and on to something else and we're not sure exactly
8:11
what that thing is because they still have time to move.
8:14
If they have a transport, they might move the transport into
8:19
that area, move the booster somewhere.
8:22
We don't know where Could they be moving it further down the
8:26
road to the production site? It's a possibility.
8:29
Could they be moving ship? 22 of the production site
8:32
possibility? Could they move be moving
8:35
booster for off the pad just to work on the state 0?
8:41
It's possible to and that's the most probable outcomes that
8:44
they're moving booster for off the pad so that can work on the
8:50
orbital pad underneath the State 0 here.
8:56
Perpetual Nur. Thank you so much for the Super
8:59
Chat. Thank you and see, Davis brought
9:04
to you by spellcheck right? It devs.
9:07
Thanks for the Super Chat as well.
9:10
I appreciate all of you, it really helps out.
9:12
So all these super chats we all these super chats help get me
9:17
down to Starbase so I can film at Starbase.
9:20
So every five dollars I get super chats.
9:22
That's one trip down to Starbase and back.
9:24
Back. So this is one trip down to
9:26
starvation back. Thanks to the super chats from
9:29
Deb's. Perpetual nerds and NC Davis.
9:31
Thank you so much for that and that's a spell check.
9:34
Oh man, that's spellcheck just it destroyed me the other day.
9:38
So we're going to I could talk about that for a second.
9:41
I misspelled this. So look at this, brought to you
9:44
by Starship shirts and I'm wearing a Starship.
9:46
Sure to check this out. This is the booster engine
9:52
layout. It's a really comfortable Shirt,
9:53
By the way. But they just get a little bit
9:56
off topic, but it's is live. Whatever brought I said Bronk to
10:01
you, I typed it wrong, very wrong to you, by Starship
10:04
shirts. And I was like somebody called
10:06
me out in the comments and I was like, oh, What you going to do?
10:13
You know, it's so it was a copy-paste thing.
10:16
What are you gonna do right? So I got called out, it was
10:19
hilarious and those are things that happen.
10:21
Like I've done thousands of videos and every once in a while
10:24
I mess up so that happened the other day?
10:28
So let's talk about something a little bit, a little bit
10:33
different here on the show and let's talk about the space
10:37
station. There's some stuff that happened
10:40
the other day that we're going to, we're going to talk about it
10:44
a little bit but also we're going to find some solutions to
10:48
it. So let me let me get these
10:52
tweets up for you. Let's see here.
10:57
There we go. Russia.
11:00
So Russia and the US and a bunch of other countries are working
11:03
together. On the International Space.
11:04
Station's International lots of Nations work together but we
11:09
need parts from every nation to keep this thing above the Earth
11:13
to keep it orbiting. So just recently the rest Cosmos
11:19
head so the person in charge of Russia's Space Program, Dimitri
11:24
rug has rug is mm, I'm bad with names.
11:27
Everybody knows this took to Twitter.
11:30
And said, if you block cooperation with us, who will
11:34
save the ISS from unguided deorbit to impact on the
11:39
territory of the US or Europe. There's also the chance of
11:44
impact of the 500-ton construction and India or China.
11:48
Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect the ISS
11:52
doesn't fly over Russia. So all the risk is yours.
11:55
Are you ready for it? That is a threat right there.
12:00
If you block cooperation with us, who will save the ISS from
12:03
an unguided deorbit. I'm going to go over this again
12:06
to impact on the territory of the US or Europe.
12:09
There's also the chance of the impact of the 500-ton
12:12
construction. This thing is Gigantic.
12:14
By the way, the ISS is huge in India or China.
12:18
Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect the ISS
12:20
doesn't fly over Russia. So all the risk is yours.
12:23
Are you ready for it? Basically saying hey, if you cut
12:28
us off, if you stop working with us, we're going to use our, they
12:34
have the technology up there. That keeps the ISS afloat.
12:39
So to speak, keep them the right orbit, boost it up when it needs
12:42
to go up, boost it into the right position.
12:45
So Elon Musk, which is it's Elon Musk.
12:50
So what are you going to say, right?
12:51
You say he's going to do something funny of course
12:55
because it's Elon Musk and also he's probably going to do
12:58
something really cool because it's Elon Musk and he's pretty
13:01
much pretty much Iron Man. Ilan said, the couple tweets
13:12
that there's a possibility, the SpaceX could use their dragon
13:16
capsules to boost up the International Space Station.
13:20
If a Russia pulls out the freshly goes, okay, we're going
13:23
to move all of our capsules off. We're going to move all of our
13:25
people off and it's up to you. If you want this thing to crash
13:29
into the Earth that's up to you, it could most of it'll burn up
13:33
in orbit a lot of it'll burn up in orbit, but there will might
13:35
be some chunks left. So Elon just posted the SpaceX
13:40
logo after this tweet and it was ridiculous.
13:44
Okay, so there's a there's a long thread and I want to show
13:47
you guys this threat because I think it's pretty important that
13:51
we look at this stuff because this is there was a whole thread
13:57
on Twitter about this space. Underscore Pete, head of this
14:00
thread. It was incredible and there's a
14:03
ton of information here that we have to go over.
14:05
So I want to show you guys this thread.
14:08
Pete says here is what the ISS would look like without the
14:12
Russian segment attached in its place.
14:14
A dragon could be docked to provide reboost capability.
14:17
Can't really see it there but it's on the right side of your
14:19
screen. There's three dragons there.
14:22
There's one on the right side here.
14:24
One on top, you know, there's one over here too little bit
14:28
further to your Or left, but you can't see it in that screenshot
14:30
because I made it big. And then goes on to say, the
14:34
cygnus near to drag in the AFT end of the station and two
14:38
dragons doc to the forward end. This would give very good
14:42
altitude control capability and provide multiple reboost
14:44
options. So there you go.
14:46
Problem solved, right? They go into greater detail
14:50
about this in international docking.
14:52
Adapter would need to be attached to pressurized mating
14:54
adapter 1 p.m. a 1 which is where the Russian segment is
14:58
currently docked to. Pretty straightforward.
15:03
I don't know why they don't have the international docking
15:05
adaptor on there right now. That doesn't make any sense.
15:08
Other than that, you know, Russia uses older technology
15:10
didn't want to work with it. Adding the idea shouldn't be a
15:14
problem as p.m. 8 p.m. 1 p.m. a one, use the same APS docking
15:19
mechanism as p.m. a 23 on the forward end of the station,
15:22
which already have ideas attached.
15:24
So, basically, you have to just put the right attachment on
15:27
there and then you can duck. A dragon or cygnus on, they're
15:31
totally totally fine, right? Significant also potentially be
15:35
modified the dock rather than birth in order to provide more
15:38
row Booth a reboost options, although it's capable of
15:41
preform, a reboost from its breathing location, underneath
15:44
Node 1, they go pee goes on and on, and on and then this is the
15:48
funny part. They should also begin a quick
15:50
look study into what would be required to undock the Russian
15:52
segment in theory, it is possible.
15:55
You just need to close the hatch and send the undock command in a
15:57
pair of these. A pair of was a wire cutters,
16:01
right? So yeah, they go into it a
16:05
little bit, you know, a lot further down, this down.
16:08
This thread, right? And lots, and lots and lots.
16:13
I'm just going to scroll down here for a little bit and see
16:15
how far we can go down. There's so many.
16:17
It's about 30 Tweets in this, and it's incredible.
16:22
How far they went down with this and Elon had a tweet after this,
16:27
and it was similar to can't find it here off the top of my head.
16:36
I saw it earlier but it basically said, hey, That was a
16:40
good thread. So everything that space Pete,
16:44
wrote space, underscores, Pete. Wrote Iman said, cool.
16:49
It looks like a good idea. So if Russia did take away all
16:52
their parts on the space station, if they want to d-doc
16:58
undock from the space station, all of their capsules SpaceX
17:03
could just send up more cargo dragons.
17:08
Document the ISS and boost it up.
17:10
So, the threat that Russia gave to the International Community
17:16
of the ISS, basically crashing into the Earth can be saved
17:22
relatively simply, because Elon Musk has the capability, and
17:28
SpaceX has the capability and the capsules to do this.
17:32
So, if all else fails, Can I just look for the Avengers look
17:37
for Elon Musk? And you know, SpaceX could take
17:42
care of that. So it's a really long threat.
17:44
I want to show you the threat. I'm gonna post it in chat
17:47
actually because it is absolutely amazing.
17:49
If we had Starship at cost per amount.
17:52
I'm gonna go into some I'm going to go into a little bit of the
17:56
chat here too, so we can get some questions them.
17:59
And see, Dave just said, Putin said we will be flying to space
18:03
on. Broomsticks will Raptor three be
18:05
renamed broomstick, you know, what's funny is everyday
18:09
astronaut started selling broomsticks.
18:12
It is Ecommerce store. I was I'd, I'd like, I saw that
18:16
and I was like, are you serious? RZ actually, is he actually
18:20
selling it? Let me, I don't know.
18:22
I saw it on Twitter. I really hope so but it, if
18:28
that's true. Hold on a second.
18:32
We have to figure this out. I want to see this if this is
18:36
actually a thing, I want to see if this actually works because
18:38
I'll give Tim a huge shout out here.
18:41
See if it's actually a thing or if he just mocked it up so far
18:46
accessories, maybe, maybe same accessories, you know?
18:49
And I'm showing somebody else's marriage just because I love the
18:51
idea and it's great. But yeah, I don't see it here
18:56
quite yet, but he did post it on Twitter the other day, so it
19:01
might be a thing of the future. It might not be available quite
19:04
yet. But yeah, it might be a thing in
19:06
the future which is hilarious. Like that's that's awesome,
19:11
right? So that's That's pretty amazing.
19:15
So we have a we have merch store to Starship shirts.com.
19:20
I'm going to show you this real quick.
19:22
Look at that transition, man. I haven't lost a beat.
19:25
Check this out. I'm going to show you this.
19:28
I'm going to I'm going to miss this beat though because it's
19:30
not going to be full screen. So this our merch store
19:34
t-shirts, you help out the, you help us out.
19:37
Basically buy a shirt. This shirt, I'm not wearing that
19:41
one. I wearing the The.
19:44
Man version of this here but basically, yeah, if you want to
19:49
help us out, we got some because I'm sure it's we got some merge
19:53
check it out. It's a shirt that I'm wearing
19:57
but mine is darker gray. This one's red.
20:00
This is the booster engine layout.
20:02
This is a booster. You see booster for at Starbase,
20:05
this is the booster layout. Looks like that you can, you
20:08
know, you can wear a hat, a bracelet if you want to hit some
20:11
rings and some shorts and where, you know, you get the red one,
20:14
you can't the black one. I got the dark gray, Heather
20:18
one, looks like that, pretty cool.
20:20
I think it's really good, really comfortable worldwide shipping
20:23
25 bucks and all that money. Goes directly into helping out
20:28
the show. So if you buy a shirt thank you
20:30
so much. And that's gonna be the that's
20:34
going to be the promo for the day.
20:36
All right, let's go to start like a little bit.
20:38
Let's go to chat a little bit. Actually, you know what?
20:40
That's a, that's a better idea. I got to shut down Tim site.
20:44
So it looks like, You know, it looks like Elon pretty much
20:49
saved the ISS. If all else fails can go up
20:52
there, boost up, duck with the space station, do what he needs
20:57
to do and then get the space station to the right place.
21:01
And, you know, he would be contracted Elon and SpaceX would
21:05
be contracted to do that work. So, they'd probably make a
21:08
little Kickback from it, but, you know, that much, you know,
21:12
it is compared to the other the other Missions that they do with
21:17
the ISS ferrying. People from the Earth to the
21:21
ISS, the crew member or the crew.
21:23
Dragon missions up there, it's going to be a small piece of it,
21:27
but also they do, they do cargo missions to the ISS so they
21:33
could dock there during the cargo missions, boost it up in
21:38
the Des, you know, keep it there.
21:40
So very cool, very cool that that's happening.
21:44
Now, let's talk about, there's another thing is happening, Two
21:46
and this is a kind of a Starship thing, but also a star like
21:50
thing. So, let's transition to a little
21:52
bit of Starbase Starship stuff. There was a possible piece of a
21:59
cargo knows I believe has a nose of Starship.
22:06
Oh, it's a blue and yellow broomstick shirt.
22:08
Okay, that's what it does. A blue background with yellow
22:13
Raptor layout would be sick. Oh cool.
22:15
Yep, that's cool. You have any shirts with
22:17
pockets? Oh, like a pocket t-shirt not.
22:20
Yeah. We could get them though.
22:21
Perpetual night, I really do like pocket shirts.
22:23
We're going to look at those in the future.
22:24
For sure. We can do any sort of shirt so
22:30
so we saw pieces of a possible cargo Starship at Starbase.
22:37
Just recently and which means either they're going to be
22:42
working at a moon variant of a Starship or the Polaris Mission
22:50
which is going to be a human rated Starship.
22:53
So they could be doing tests for that.
22:55
They could also be doing tests for starlink Starship cargo
23:00
Starship and we're not exactly sure how they're going to
23:03
Tetris. All those starlink satellites in
23:05
there but it's going to be a wild.
23:07
Kind of configuration that they put in there because they can
23:12
put hundreds of these things in there.
23:14
At the same time at this thing is gigantic So let's talk a
23:19
little bit about starlink and what happened as well with with
23:23
the Russian government with starlink to.
23:25
Because I think this is an important thing to talk about to
23:27
at this point, because we have, you know, Global events going
23:32
on. But we also have the technology
23:34
to get information to people that need it, Elon Musk tweeted.
23:40
Star Lake has been told by some governments.
23:42
Not Ukraine to block Russian news sources, we will not do so,
23:46
unless it gunpoint. Sorry to be a free speech
23:49
absolutist. So star like has been told by
23:55
some governments to block Russian news sources Sterling's.
23:58
Basically, and is p. This is what I'm gonna just talk
24:01
about this for a second star. Like is basically an ISP.
24:05
They don't want to, you know, he's as free speech absolutist,
24:08
right? Doesn't want to block it.
24:11
I agree with them. Don't block information, if it's
24:14
harmful information, it'll get sorted out, but it's not Elon
24:18
Musk in spacex's. Place to say what's right and
24:23
wrong you know, they just provide the lines that the
24:27
information goes over basically the airwaves that it goes over
24:30
and they're not responsible for that Ilan, says the same thing.
24:34
So he goes forward and says this to about start like SpaceX,
24:38
reprioritized to cyber defense, in overcoming signal.
24:42
Jamming will cause slight delays in Starship and starlink version
24:46
2. So slight delays.
24:48
They have to probably put people from different parts of Space X
24:54
out of those teams like for a short amount of time.
24:58
Slight delays in a Starship and Sterling version to.
25:01
So hardening the defense of star like very important to it's very
25:04
important for for all Communications to be encrypted
25:09
and hardened and have the Cyber defense.
25:11
So there's no signal jamming of star.
25:14
Like I think it's super important to do this and of
25:16
course, As Padre are Sterling, said likes being jammed Ilan,
25:21
said some star like terminals near conflict.
25:24
Areas were being GM for several hours at a time.
25:26
Related software update, bypasses, the jam.
25:29
I'm curious to see what's next. Typical curious engineer.
25:34
He's like these people are messing with our with our
25:37
Hardware messing with our software.
25:39
They're jamming us up, but he's like I'm curious to see what's
25:43
going on. You know, what are they going
25:44
to? What are they going to pull
25:45
next? And this is a game of cat and
25:48
Mouse, you know, it's always like Hackers.
25:51
Try a thing. People will fix that hack.
25:55
And then hackers will try. Another thing.
25:56
People will fix that hack. Except it goes on and on and on.
25:59
It's in video games. It's on the Internet.
26:01
It's everywhere. All the time.
26:03
There's hackers all over the place and these are, these
26:06
people are jamming. Starling satellites are there.
26:09
The Starling Hardware, the terminals near the conflict
26:12
areas and in line just says well bring it on.
26:16
What's next? I'm curious, I want to see
26:18
what's happening and here's another Tweet that's going on
26:21
to, in a way. This is free Q&A.
26:24
Ha ha what somebody that's in charge of multibillion-dollar
26:30
company SpaceX. He's like, well, if they keep
26:34
trying to hack us, we're just gonna we're just gonna get
26:37
better. This is even better for us
26:39
because we'll have a more solid product in the future because
26:42
this is quality control, that they're giving us for free.
26:46
What is happening? He's not a he's not a typical
26:53
corporate CEO. He's just he's an engineer, a
26:57
heart. He just wants to see what's
26:58
going to happen next. And he says hey this is our Q&A
27:03
this, our Q&A like quality control.
27:06
Come on, bring it on. See what they do next.
27:10
So we'll see what they do next and hopefully Elon and SpaceX
27:15
will be able to figure out what they do next.
27:18
And you know, Get to get to a better spot in the future.
27:24
Let's talk about star like a little bit more.
27:25
Right after we go into some, some chat here.
27:28
Spaces bad, wouldn't it? Be better for Ilan to not
27:30
publicly announced that Russia taxes aren't working anymore.
27:33
Probably. Yeah, it would make sense to do
27:35
that, right? It would make sense to not say
27:39
the things that are working for them.
27:42
You know, if he saying, hey excessive, Starling SpaceX is
27:46
star like this. Getting jammed.
27:49
We're going to fix. Sit.
27:50
I mean it's also good to tell them like hey, we beat you.
27:56
But also, you know, like I said, hey we got you, you know, we got
27:59
you, you didn't get us, we got you.
28:01
I guess, that's right. I mean I don't I don't know
28:03
anything about that stuff about the whole tactics and stuff, but
28:06
it would make sense. It would make sense.
28:11
If he were to say it's not working anymore, but then they
28:13
might try harder and then he gets more key way out of it.
28:16
He gets more quality control so they get to talk about that
28:20
stuff, too free. Yeah, problems.
28:24
Make us stronger. Exactly.
28:25
Yeah. That's the that's think.
28:27
Do things that are hard, you know, and it's like, yeah, do
28:32
the think, do the things that scare you and do the things that
28:35
are difficult. And I know like from Elan, Ilana
28:39
his perspective. He always wants to do the
28:41
hardest things, you know. So if these hackers are trying
28:45
to take down Starling terminals, there's a reason why, you know,
28:50
they're Elon is fighting back and that's because they know
28:54
that SpaceX can do it and he's putting his engineer's to the
28:59
hardest test, which is to beat these real-time hackers.
29:04
As there, I'm just calling a hacker's as a blank term.
29:07
I'm not sure if that's the The proper term.
29:09
I'm not in that industry, but these people that are jamming
29:12
signals given a free testing basically.
29:16
So very cool though. That Elon is just say, I'm all
29:19
right, well bring it on. We're going to fix it and then
29:22
you can't do anything about it. Suckers, you know?
29:25
Yeah, the quality assurance. Exactly Steven, exactly.
29:27
So moving on from there, We do have a starlink launch coming up
29:34
to that's coming up in the next. What is it tomorrow?
29:41
Yeah, Star Lake launch upcoming launch, March 9th, 48-star Like,
29:47
Satellites to low earth, orbit, from space launch complex, 40
29:51
SLC 40 at Cape Canaveral space force station in Florida.
29:56
Instantaneous launch window is 8:45 a.m. eastern time tomorrow
30:02
morning. First, booster supported
30:06
previous launch of Arab set six astp to Cosmo Sky Med second
30:11
generation ethanol. FM to following stage
30:13
separation. Falcon, 9's, first stage will
30:14
return to Earth and land on a shortfall of Gravitas drone ship
30:18
which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
30:21
And we'll have a webcast up about 15 minutes before this
30:23
launch sound. Like launches are.
30:26
I mean, I don't know what you guys think about these things.
30:32
I'm I'm content. That's a good word for it.
30:35
I'm very content. Because I like that, these
30:41
starlink launches just work. Like every time they do it.
30:47
Every time they do it it seems like it's Child's.
30:50
Play goes off without a hitch. Super smart people behind the
30:54
scenes working on this stuff, of course, but it seems like every
30:59
time they do it, they hit it perfect or at least close to
31:02
perfect. So, I mean, I watch them on my
31:06
own, I watch the Starling launches, I watch everything a
31:09
game of spy versus spy. Michael Maxi.
31:11
Yes, I watch these launches every time and I think Are great
31:18
every single time. I think they're great.
31:20
Now, Is it getting too easy for SpaceX know because they're
31:26
building on the knowledge that they had from the past into the
31:29
future launches it to Starship launches as well.
31:33
And that will be really important for future Space X
31:38
operations. Because man is starlink in
31:42
Starship hundreds of Starling satellites.
31:45
More than what they already launched.
31:48
Crazy crazy. How big this thing is going to
31:51
be in the future, because it's going to be All over the world.
31:55
I mean right now it's an it's in a huge population of the of the
31:58
Earth but everybody on Earth could possibly get starlink
32:02
satellite internet eventually if the government's are okay with
32:06
it. And that's a that's billions of
32:09
dollars for SpaceX and those billions of dollars will fund
32:14
more star like better Star like in the future and also Starships
32:18
in the future because it's all, it's all the game right now,
32:22
right? So you have to do these little
32:24
side projects to make money to build the big things, right?
32:28
Starship in the future, probably won't pay for Starship right
32:31
away. Starship in the future is going
32:34
to pay for starlink launches. They'll start link launches will
32:38
bring in billions of dollars for SpaceX because that's kind of
32:42
like their iPhone, right? So Apple, Apple has computers,
32:46
you know, they have, they have MacBooks, which drive a bunch
32:48
of, you know, bunch of money that way they have their
32:50
desktops, they have their monitors if some headphones
32:54
things like that. But the thing is, the iPhone is
32:56
the thing that makes them. The most money and started link
33:00
is like SpaceX is iPhone. They have all these other things
33:03
going on too, right? So SpaceX has falcon.
33:07
Nine block five. They have the crew Dragon, they
33:09
have, you know, the crew missions.
33:11
They have the NASA missions Department of Defense missions.
33:13
Departed, defense missions, make a bunch of money, but starlink
33:17
in the future will be a continuous Revenue stream,
33:21
because that's what they need to keep building Starships.
33:24
So, startled, I think that's what they're doing all the time.
33:29
It's going to be great. I'd like in the next 20 years,
33:33
it's not going to be the same earth, like we're going to be
33:35
living in some weird cyber future.
33:38
The next 20 years, it's going to be incredible.
33:40
I'm so happy to be part of this. Like I really am done here at
33:44
Starbase almost every day and I get to see these gigantic
33:47
Rockets being built and I'm somehow a part of this, you
33:51
know, like by by sheer force of will like, I'm part of this
33:55
basically. And, you know, I'm I made it
34:00
happen. You know I got to get I got down
34:02
here because of sheer force of will also the help from so many
34:06
so many really nice people that have helped me out on this
34:09
journey. So like I couldn't do it without
34:11
anybody. You know, I couldn't have done
34:13
it by myself, that's for sure. I would have tried my damnedest
34:16
to do it but I couldn't have done it without everybody else
34:19
but it's like you got to just keep doing it.
34:21
So that's what SpaceX is doing with the Starling stuff.
34:25
They're just pushing on and on and on and on in the Going to
34:28
get to the point where this is going to make them billions and
34:31
billions and billions of dollars to keep building starships and
34:34
it's so cool. I'm so pumped about it.
34:38
Like you guys don't even understand how cool it is to go
34:40
to go to Starbase almost every day.
34:42
Oh man Earth starlink pave the way to lunar and Martian star
34:48
like to be on Marina. Yeah I 100% agree with you all
34:52
this stuff. All these little side projects
34:54
that deal on has Tesla starlink boring company.
34:58
A Starship all that stuff, even Falcon 9, you know, and crew
35:03
Dragon that's all so people can get to Mars.
35:07
It's all part of it and learning.
35:09
The technology is from one part doing it to the next thing, 100%
35:14
just to get people to Mars. So cool.
35:17
I'm so, so excited about the future.
35:21
It's going to be really cool. Matthew says, I would love to
35:25
know how much SpaceX have spent on Starship development
35:27
including poor. It's Boca Chica start or stage
35:30
0. Etc.
35:32
Yeah, me too. I really would there is
35:35
estimates out there but I don't think anyone even knows how
35:39
close it is, how close they can come to the actual price of that
35:46
Elon wants to get the price down to a million dollars per launch.
35:49
But they've had to spend, I think they've spent five billion
35:52
dollars. I think Ilan said five billion
35:56
So far on production and development, I think it was five
36:01
billion but all the other stuff around it to you know it could
36:04
be other things like they probably pay for some of the
36:07
road paving they probably donate for that kind of stuff.
36:09
They probably you know this probably all this other stuff
36:11
that goes on behind the scenes when he said five billion for
36:14
development so far I was like that's it because the SLS that's
36:20
it's up to 50 billion per launch.
36:25
Something like that. I think yeah something like
36:27
that. 47 billion per launch for the SLS and there's like four
36:31
launches planned. Eddie Hans like, oh yeah, we've
36:35
we've only spent five billion but we have a rocket that's
36:37
almost ready. So I want to find the article I
36:42
think I might have it somewhere. Let me check.
36:52
I think I have it in another tab.
36:53
Give me one second. This all live.
36:55
So there we go. It's an article from CNBC.
37:04
I don't want to post it on screen, but I'll read it to you.
37:09
Serpent Starship is fully restore rocket with SpaceX to
37:12
developing with a goal of creating a vehicle that can
37:14
carry cargo and people to the moon and Mars SpaceX CEO.
37:18
Elon Musk recently estimated, The Starships development costs
37:20
would be 5% to 10% of Apollo era.
37:23
Saturn 5 rocket which had an inflation-adjusted fifty billion
37:28
dollars. Put Starships development cost
37:30
at 2.5 billion to 5 billion dollars So, that kind of answers
37:35
your question. I mean, Ilan said five-ish
37:38
billion so I know, I just read that yesterday, so I'm glad you
37:44
got, you brought it up. Imagine, starbases on the moon,
37:48
and Mars Marina. Yeah, I think that would be
37:51
amazing by the way that was Dunkin Donuts coffee.
37:53
Not sponsored by Dunkin Donuts but they're the best coffee
37:56
ever. Prove me, wrong.
37:58
NASA's internal governance. Ripped.
38:00
SLS apart, yeah. Boeing was a part of that, too.
38:03
You know, they they let Boeing do a lot of things that Boeing
38:07
probably shouldn't have done, but we didn't deliver properly
38:11
and now the taxpayers are paying for it, so it's a lot of money.
38:16
Yeah. For these for these rockets that
38:21
they could have just paid SpaceX to build basically.
38:26
With Starship. Do you think SLS will be to
38:29
obsolete pixel boxes? I would not say it's going to be
38:36
obsolete. I think it's important to have
38:41
no Maurice providers for launches.
38:46
Because if something were to happen to the say if you know
38:49
SpaceX has two rockets, say if they just have they only have
38:51
two Starships right now and NASA was like, okay we need this
38:55
stuff to go to the Moon by the end of the month because we need
38:58
to support our astronauts there. It's SpaceX finds an issue with
39:03
one other pumps. In the end, one of the
39:06
Starships. Before the flight.
39:11
And this pump isn't fixed for six months.
39:16
It would be a great idea to have an SLS rocket ready to go.
39:22
Whenever that needs to be done, as a backup SpaceX, will
39:25
probably have more than two Starships at any given time
39:27
though, but they may do sort of a recall like, when they do on
39:31
your car. See if, you know, your car horn
39:34
is broken or something in every model of that car, they do a
39:38
recall, the test everything out, they make sure everything works.
39:42
SpaceX may do something similar to that, and then the SLS could
39:46
step in and do the work for them or vice versa.
39:48
You know, something happens with SLS it's always good to have a
39:51
backup for these things so it's always good to have two
39:54
providers but I also think SLS is bloated.
39:58
You know the Artemis program is a amazing idea and I commend
40:03
everybody in that program for doing what they've done to make
40:06
this happen. But it's also so much money and
40:10
it's also a Jobs program. Just like, you know, there were,
40:14
there were so many people that were saying that the Apollo
40:18
program was basically a jobs program because it did it.
40:22
Tens of thousands of people were were employed by the government
40:25
to make all those Rockets. So it'll make the capsules and
40:29
like, people were baking like they're making like, you know,
40:33
screws and bolts and nuts, you know, like everything everything
40:37
was due to, you know, the Apollo era.
40:41
Era jobs program is some people put it, but it works, you know.
40:45
It worked, we got to the Moon, everything worked fine, but they
40:49
shut it down because they were like this is a lot of money and
40:52
nobody cares and I'm like, nobody cares, what are you
40:56
thinking? Like you only did a few flights
40:58
buddy but it is. It's a Pathfinder, you know,
41:01
like we have to have those things in order for something
41:04
like Starship to come along because without Apollo program,
41:07
Starship wouldn't have been a thing.
41:10
Because it inspired so many people to do great things
41:13
including myself, you know, two big leaps of faith in to do
41:17
things that you wouldn't normally do because that's what
41:21
astronauts did. And of course, I want to be an
41:23
astronaut when I was a kid just like everybody else in that era.
41:26
So yeah, I don't think it's going to be.
41:29
I don't think starts going to make SLS obsolete though.
41:35
What do you think of the idea to give Starliner to SpaceX to make
41:39
it work Rena? That is, don't do it.
41:45
I mean, they could probably fix it.
41:47
Like they're Engineers do probably fix it.
41:48
No doubt, but I would rather them not.
41:53
It's like it's a tainted piece of equipment.
41:57
Don't put in spacex's hands. I think SpaceX is the
42:02
responsibility should only be with their own hardware and
42:05
their own software, but I think it'd be funny.
42:09
There's so much to reflect on during this great space to use
42:11
public stream. Thanks judge.
42:15
Did I'm sorry. I don't know how to say your
42:17
name. I'm sorry.
42:19
Jacques. I just say Jack.
42:20
I don't know if the J. The second J is silent but
42:22
Jacques, thank you for that. I appreciate that.
42:26
My everybody has weird names and the internet that I can't
42:30
pronounce and they're not weird names, I just can't pronounce
42:32
them so I find it I've just like to like to make fun of myself.
42:38
SLS is an important tool for space exploration by reminding.
42:41
People constantly have how expensive things can be.
42:43
If you let Congress pork spend for their districts.
42:46
Yeah, that's kind of how it is, right?
42:48
That's how it kind of how it is. Theirs.
42:51
This programs like Starship and its programs like Falcon 9 and
42:55
things like that that you have. So much, so much less money than
43:03
the SLS, but they also employ thousands of people, give people
43:07
really great paychecks, like really, really great paychecks.
43:14
But then you have something like the government that's trying to
43:17
do the same thing and then there's so much other spending
43:21
that goes into it because the, you know, they have providers
43:25
like Boeing or other, you know, old space old space companies
43:29
that are charging them in arm and leg for something that
43:31
somebody else just swoops in like SpaceX did swoops, in gives
43:36
them a better product for less money.
43:39
So think about that SpaceX does a better product for less money
43:43
and of course you're going to buy it.
43:45
Like there's no reason not to but without NASA and without
43:49
those programs SpaceX, wouldn't be a thing.
43:52
So I have to reiterate that SpaceX wouldn't be where it is
43:56
now. But without the same
43:59
organizations, that spend money on the old space companies and
44:03
they took a Leap of Faith with SpaceX.
44:05
So you know they show that their rocket the first Falcon could do
44:12
what it needed to do and then space era NASA was like all
44:17
right buddy here you go here's some money.
44:19
Here's a here's a bunch of money so you can continue working on
44:22
this thing. So that was amazing.
44:26
Absolutely amazing. Sorry they are initials OJ OJ K.
44:30
Okay. Yeah tag names are hard.
44:36
Jock was respectfully. Funny.
44:38
Okay. The US ever trust the Russians
44:40
again. Ellen in time I think it'll
44:45
happen in like I'm just a I'm just a guy so I don't know
44:48
anything about politics. I know the same thing as
44:50
everybody else. Not a politician.
44:52
I'm not deeply entrenched in that stuff, but I think it's
44:54
going to take time and you know, time heals all wounds and Way or
44:58
another and hopefully, you know, get people to power that aren't
45:03
that are with all, you know, all nations.
45:06
We get people in power that our peaceful nice people that are
45:11
going to do the right thing. NASA nurtured SpaceX separately,
45:16
right thinking now NASA needs SpaceX like never before.
45:19
Yeah, yeah, exactly. They need SpaceX.
45:22
They nurtured them to the place where they are now and now
45:24
SpaceX is sending people like just regular people.
45:28
People. Into orbit, you know, with the
45:31
inspiration for Mission. And the Polaris missions players
45:34
will be the first Starship mission to so that's crazy.
45:39
That people are already buying seats on a Starship, who's going
45:43
to go on the first Starship mission to, we should talk about
45:45
that in another episode. I think that would be fun.
45:47
Let's to go over a list of candidates of who could be a
45:50
really good candidate for a Starship mission.
45:53
For the first Polaris Starship Mission.
45:55
That'd be a cool one. Yeah, so we're running out of
46:01
time here. I have a couple minutes left, so
