Something HUGE is happening at SpaceX Starbase · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:00
  Hi everybody. Welcome back to the space news
• 0:02
  pot. This is a show about SpaceX NASA
• 0:04
  and space flight. I'm your host will Walden.
• 0:07
  And in this episode, we're going to be talking about upcoming
• 0:10
  test. Something huge may be happening
• 0:14
  down at Starbase Boca, Chica Texas with Starship, or
• 0:18
  possibly, a booster, or maybe both.
• 0:22
  So stay tuned. So we can figure this out
• 0:25
  together. So just recently, I went down to
• 0:28
  Starbase earlier. This morning and I saw that they
• 0:31
  were lifting up Starship. So they lifted Starship.
• 0:36
  So it's possible that they may be moving Starship because they
• 0:40
  put it on the Mover, right? So it's possible that they're
• 0:44
  trying to get Starship away from where it is now to someplace
• 0:47
  else, or they could have moved it to put something else in his
• 0:50
  place, but more than likely. They're moving Starship,
• 0:52
  someplace else, you know, and they can't move it down highway
• 0:56
  for. There's no way the highway for
• 0:59
  is Demolished. At this point, they can't
• 1:01
  actually fit a Starship on Highway for right now because
• 1:07
  there's a divider in the middle of the road and Highway 4 is
• 1:10
  pretty small anyway, and Starship barely fit on it
• 1:14
  before. So, there's no way they're
• 1:16
  taking it back to the production site, unless something happens
• 1:22
  in the next week or so with that road, but it's literally in
• 1:26
  pieces right now. The I don't think they're going
• 1:28
  to get it done in a week, so, I'm going to rule that one out.
• 1:32
  Probably not going down highway for probably not scrapping it
• 1:35
  anytime soon. But could they be moving
• 1:39
  Starship? We're getting ready to move.
• 1:40
  Starship towards the orbital launch Tower.
• 1:45
  It's a possibility. They took the crane off so it's
• 1:49
  not hard to stay out anymore. It's just sitting there now.
• 1:51
  Could we get booster for Onto the platform onto the launch
• 1:56
  platform and stack of Starship on it.
• 2:00
  It's a possibility. And now let's take a look at
• 2:02
  what's going on in this. Could indicate something super
• 2:06
  huge that's happening down to Starbase in the next week.
• 2:09
  So check this out. This is the road closure.
• 2:12
  The word closure is coming up in the next few days.
• 2:15
  January, 24th 2022, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• 2:19
  January 25th, same thing, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• 2:22
  January 26th, same thing, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. but the 26 is
• 2:29
  the one that we really want to focus on now.
• 2:33
  Let's look at some other road closures really quick, so it
• 2:35
  will come back to the 26th 27th 10:00 a.m. 10:00 p.m. that's a
• 2:39
  secondary day. 28, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. this show is brought to you
• 2:44
  by backblaze. I use back place to backup my
• 2:47
  podcast, my video files, all of my writing stuff and all my
• 2:51
  photos and you get unlimited computer backup for Macs and PCs
• 2:54
  for. Just seven dollars a month, you
• 2:56
  can backup your own documents photos videos.

  Drawings projects, all of your data and access your backed up
• 3:03
  data from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can
• 3:06
  access the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
• 3:10
  And this is the cool part. This is my favorite part.
• 3:12
  You can restore it by mail, a hard drive will come to your
• 3:14
  house with all your data shipped to your door.
• 3:17
  It could come to your business to and you can restore return
• 3:20
  refund program. So you can buy a hard drive
• 3:22
  restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days and get a
• 3:26
  full refund. So basically they ship you this
• 3:28
  hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
• 3:31
  it. Which is the perfect program for
• 3:33
  somebody who has huge files. You don't want to waste days and
• 3:37
  days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
• 3:40
  And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
• 3:42
  files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
• 3:45
  history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.

  So let's go back to the 26th all day long, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. 12
• 5:02
  hours, what can you do with 12 hours at Starbase?
• 5:06
  I should say, what can't you do? 12 hours of Starbase because
• 5:10
  there's a lot of stuff that could be happening in the next
• 5:13
  week or so, that's going to be huge.
• 5:15
  And I want to show you this first quote from the County
• 5:22
  Judge, Eddie Trevino, Junior. ER, here we go, closing down
• 5:27
  highway for temporary closure of Highway for from Oklahoma Avenue
• 5:30
  to Boca Chica Beach. That's basically, all of Highway
• 5:35
  for, you know, from the, from the security checkpoint to the
• 5:41
  beach. It's like a 15-mile stretch of
• 5:46
  road. Let me show you this 15 miles
• 5:49
  right here. From Oklahoma right here.
• 5:55
  Oklahoma Ave all the way down highway for all this way. 26
• 6:04
  minute ride. Sixteen point three miles of
• 6:09
  road that going to be closing down here.
• 6:12
  You get to Starbase production site right here.
• 6:18
  And down here, you get to Starbase launch facility.
• 6:21
  And then on the right of Starbase launch facility is Boca
• 6:24
  Chica Beach, which is about a mile away, and it's it's a lot
• 6:28
  of land to cover. So, on the 26th of January, what
• 6:33
  could SpaceX be doing to facilitate a full road closure
• 6:40
  that we haven't seen in a really long time since the last flight
• 6:44
  tests. Okay.
• 6:46
  So Starship. Moving off its stand, moving on
• 6:51
  to the Mover booster for it's right there.
• 6:55
  There they've been doing a lot of work on booster for recently.
• 6:58
  A lot of people working on that lot of people working on the
• 7:00
  Chopsticks and the orbital launch platform.
• 7:04
  So there's still scaffolding on the orbital launch platform.
• 7:07
  I just want you guys to know that so it's not completely
• 7:10
  clear yet. One that will be done, but
• 7:12
  scaffolding and it could be taken off within the next week
• 7:15
  pretty easily. Today is the 22nd.
• 7:19
  Yes, 22nd. So we have four days until the
• 7:20
  26th. Full day in that, quote from
• 7:27
  Eddie Trevino temporary closure of Highway for from Oklahoma
• 7:31
  Avenue to Boca Chica Beach, that's for the 26th of this
• 7:34
  month. What do you think's going to
• 7:38
  happen? Let me know in the comments
• 7:39
  below. I'm thinking.
• 7:43
  Some sort of booster static fire.
• 7:47
  It's a possibility. Could we get another full stack
• 7:51
  of booster for and Starship? That's a possibility, too?
• 7:56
  Could they closed down the road from Oklahoma, Ave to Starbase
• 8:03
  launch site. That's a 16 mile drive.
• 8:06
  That's that takes a long time. It takes about 30 minutes to get
• 8:08
  down there. Could they closed down the road,
• 8:12
  just for a stack and let me, let me ask you this, what would
• 8:16
  happen? If they stacked up, Starship and
• 8:20
  booster. And something happened, full
• 8:24
  full stack full engines, full everything and then they
• 8:27
  pressurized everything. And they test it out.
• 8:31
  Pressure test, cryo tests on both ships on the booster and
• 8:35
  ship 20. Would they close down the whole
• 8:38
  highway in my my answer to this is kind of maybe for that.
• 8:46
  So the thing is it's a big ship. And if something were to happen
• 8:51
  to booster say if they pressurize booster all the way
• 8:55
  and then they pressurize booster into the Loaded.
• 9:00
  That's devastating. That can have a huge impact on
• 9:05
  the local area but also shrapnel could fly everywhere.
• 9:10
  So it's possibility that they may be doing that but I'm
• 9:14
  assuming In this is just another thing like I and I'm just there,
• 9:19
  I'm there with you guys, you know, like, I live here.
• 9:21
  I know what it's like it at that place, but I also know that
• 9:25
  anything's possible with SpaceX and we don't know.
• 9:27
  They're testing schedule quite yet and all those dates
• 9:31
  beforehand. We had road closures on the 24th
• 9:35
  25th 26th, you know, and on the 26th that's the one that the
• 9:42
  judge has said, okay we're going to close everything down 24th
• 9:45
  and 25th. Those two could be to stack, the
• 9:50
  booster. They could be to also stack
• 9:54
  Starship on those days 24th 25th last couple days away.
• 9:59
  So that's Monday and Tuesday and you know, yeah, the 24th is
• 10:03
  Monday. The 25th is Tuesday 26 this
• 10:06
  Wednesday of next week, couple days from now.
• 10:09
  So if they stack booster and they stack a Starship, a booster
• 10:14
  on the 25th or A fourth of 25th that will leave the 26 open, or
• 10:20
  some sort of pressure test for either one of those vehicles or
• 10:25
  both or a booster for static fire.
• 10:29
  Whoo, that's a lot to take in. Let me know what you think
• 10:33
  because we're just, I'm spitballing here with you guys.
• 10:35
  And I got to figure this out too.
• 10:37
  So, I want to know what you guys think, booster for some people
• 10:40
  say, it's not even a fly. It's going to be a test article
• 10:42
  is just going to be a Pathfinder.
• 10:45
  For future starships and future flights.
• 10:49
  But it's possible, you know, it's possible they still static
• 10:52
  fire because they have to do everything before they do the
• 10:56
  next booster, right? So they have to do Pathfinder
• 10:58
  machines in order for the next booster, you know, so they can
• 11:01
  gather data for the next booster tests.
• 11:03
  I don't know what I'm saying. At the end of this thing is
• 11:06
  like, I'm not 100% sure what's going to be going down, but it
• 11:10
  sounds like something big is happening down there booster for
• 11:14
  possible. Static fire and I want to see
• 11:16
  it. I think it'd be really cool, and
• 11:17
  I'm going to bring you all the footage that I can from that day
• 11:19
  on the 26th. We'll see how the weather goes.
• 11:22
  If it's anything like today and yesterday, but we'll see what's
• 11:26
  up. And I'll give you guys updates
• 11:27
  on that in the next couple days and I'll let you guys know
• 11:29
  what's going on as I bring you the information from Starbase.
• 11:34
  So watch out for the live streams.
• 11:36
  Make sure to subscribe and get the Bell notifications so you
• 11:39
  can see when I go live from Starbase.
• 11:41
  So thanks everybody. I know.
• 11:43
  This is just kind of like off the cuff.
• 11:45
  Cuff. But let me know what you think
• 11:47
  because there's a lot of stuff that could happen.
• 11:50
  All right, thanks, I'll see you next time.
