STARSHIP LAUNCH MAY 2022 : Confirmation From Elon Musk · Elon Musk Podcast

0:00
Just a quick note SpaceX is not launching the Starship today.
0:07
We're just, we just got confirmation from Elan when
0:10
Starship will launch. So, let's get into the show, my
0:16
friends brought to you by Starship shirts.com.
0:20
So check this out. This is from the other day.
0:24
This footage is from the other day and I wanted to show you
0:27
guys what's going on with Starship.
0:30
What Ilan said when we're going to get a flight of possible
0:36
flight because it's Ilan, of course we're on Ilan time here
0:39
so there's a possibility that it may not happen.
0:43
When Ilan says it's going to happen because I moved down here
0:46
to Brownsville Texas, to go get chica area last September,
0:52
because Ilan said, hey we're going to be, we're going to be
0:56
launching this thing soon, right?
0:59
I want to be here for the launch.
1:00
To be here for everything. And of course, you know, six
1:03
months later, we haven't gotten a launch so Elon stated the
1:08
other day, and I'll show you all about this in just a second, but
1:11
he said the other day that he knows when they think they think
1:16
when he thinks Starship will launch and it's not going to be
1:20
the ship and the booster that you think it's going to be
1:23
because they're getting rid of those.
1:26
So yeah, that's pretty cool. What's a Perpetual nerd Gary?
1:29
What's up? Hey Leo mr.
1:33
Najera no, not yet, not yet. No launched, yet.
1:36
No launched yet. So just wanna let you guys know
1:39
what's going on and how SpaceX may move forward with the next
1:45
testing program. Protocols procedures and where
1:48
they're going to be going from here because they have a lot of
1:52
work to do before they launch. Starship and booster the
1:57
super-heavy configuration for SpaceX is Starship.
2:00
So this is going to be it's going to be an exciting time for
2:03
the next. Let's just say three months,
2:05
it's going to be super exciting even today.
2:09
Today they moved what is called the can crusher down to the
2:14
flight area. It Boca Chica Starbase, the can
2:17
crusher is something that the measure how much the booster
2:24
can't Right? So it's like a Max Q kind of
2:27
thing. So, maximum velocity Max Q
2:31
maximum pressure and forces on the booster and on the ship and
2:36
that's basically what they're going to, what they may be
2:38
testing in the next couple days with booster for.
2:42
Now it's kind of a weird thing because we thought they were
2:44
going to move booster for out of there.
2:46
We thought this this morning, we're all like oh what are they
2:50
doing today? They're moving stuff out of
2:52
there, but no booster for seems to be going On the can crusher
2:57
and which means it may be. Getting destroyed with this
3:04
thing, like just taking it to the maximum possible, you know,
3:09
damage that I can take in that it just, you know, maybe they're
3:12
going to maybe they could take it over the edge and destroy
3:13
that thing. So that would be incredible.
3:18
Now, unfortunately don't have a robot camera down there to
3:20
witness this but I will give you as much information as I can,
3:24
and I do go down to Starbase very often to get as much
3:27
footage as I can and this footage on my side here.
3:30
I'm not sure which side to side. Let's see if I To that.
3:32
Okay, I did it right. So that footage little bit
3:35
blurry but that's because I was seven miles away.
3:37
This is from the 18th. And this is when they did some
3:40
tests on Starship, the other day and that was for my propellant.
3:44
Loading test, number two of a fully stacked Starship in this
3:49
was Friday, March, 18th 2022. So they conducted a booster for
3:55
and ship. 20 propellant, loading test with a full stack of
3:59
Starship at Boca Chica. Starbase Texas.
4:03
Now they did another one before. This one was that one?
4:07
That was March 16th in. That was, yeah, that was Mark 16
4:11
to 20 22. I'm looking at my numbers here
4:13
to make sure that I get everything right, get the dates
4:15
right. And they so the cool thing is
4:17
booster for and ship 20, the ship and booster that were fully
4:21
stacked. They also did other tests so
4:24
they did cryogenic test. They did cryogenic proved tests
4:27
and booster for and ship 20. Both did five tests.
4:32
So let's just say that say what it is.
4:36
So these are these are Pathfinders.
4:40
Booster for is a Pathfinder for future boosters, they do all the
4:44
tests on these boosters on booster for sorry, they do all
4:47
the tests on booster for so one. So so they can figure out how to
4:51
do the test properly, you know, this is new for SpaceX, even
4:55
though they've been building rockets for really long time.
4:58
They've never built a gigantic Starship before.
5:01
Like, this is This isn't their first Starship that they both.
5:04
This is the fully stacked for a Starship and booster for ship 20
5:09
their Pathfinders for future ship parts that are coming from
5:13
space X. So I want to show you guys what
5:16
I was talking about earlier with Ilan.
5:20
This is actually, you know what, let's let's just kind of
5:22
backtrack a little bit because I was talking about testing.
5:25
So let's just take a look at the testing schedule.
5:28
Possibly for SpaceX and Starship down at Boca Chica.
5:32
Star base Texas. Monday is already passed us by
5:37
March 21st. Tuesday, March, 22nd.
5:41
We have a 10:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. road closure and that's what I
5:45
was talking about earlier because they're moving the can
5:47
crusher down to Starbase from the from the build site to the
5:52
production site are from the production site to the launch
5:54
site. So that's what they did.
5:57
We're not sure what the when they're going to implement that
6:00
if they're going to do it today. That's great.
6:01
They have a A full another 10 hours, a night and a half hours
6:05
to do that. So, Tuesday March, 22nd, 10 a.m.
6:09
to 10 p.m. Wednesday 10:00 a.m. to 10 p.m.
6:12
as well and Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and then Friday from 6
6:16
a.m. to 4 p.m. and for those of you who aren't familiar 6 a.m.
6:21
to 4 p.m. is usually the Friday time frame here because Boca
6:25
Chica Beach is open to the public on the weekends and
6:29
SpaceX is working with Cameron County.
6:32
And Brownsville area in Boca Chica to keep the Beach open
6:37
because people it's basically a moneymaker for this area and
6:41
SpaceX doesn't want to interrupt people that are going to the
6:45
beach and having a good time. So they keep that road open.
6:50
Nighttime Peak basically. People, when they get done with
6:52
work, they can go down there and hang out.
6:55
So they keep the road open Friday's after 4:00 p.m. so that
7:00
means they safely start early. But It's possible that they do
7:04
elongate the test in last night, was one of those times when the
7:07
road closure was supposed to be stopped at 10:00 p.m. and they
7:10
went on until about 11:30 p.m. because they still had more
7:13
testing to do with the tank farm last night.
7:17
So, there is a just, if you're just joining us, there's no
7:21
launch today. Yeah.
7:23
So there's no launch today, there's been a confirmation from
7:26
Elon Musk when he thinks SpaceX is Starship will launch and
7:30
we'll get to that in one moment. Old gamer Noob testing right
7:35
now. Should I also be watching one of
7:37
the 24-hour lives they aren't doing testing quite yet.
7:43
It's cool to have it open in another tab.
7:45
They, I think what's going to happen today, is it going to
7:47
move the booster? It's very windy today too.
7:50
It's very, very windy today and I'm here in Brownsville and I
7:54
went outside earlier today and I almost got blown off my feet
7:56
because it was so windy and Boca Chica Beach star.
8:02
Base area, it's more windy than here, so I don't know if they're
8:06
just waiting for the wind to die down or if the wind has died
8:09
down there, but we have a red flag alert.
8:12
I think it's called. Yeah, for the weather today and
8:16
I got to show you guys that to in just a second, but I'm going
8:18
to show you what Elon tweeted because that's what we're all
8:20
here for, right? We want to see when Ilan and
8:23
SpaceX will launch this. So, Michael sheets, sheets the
8:27
sheets tweets with a z at the end and sheets with a z.
8:33
I tweeted something about SpaceX launch Cadence and how Russia
8:38
kind of pushed everybody away, right?
8:41
So found the quality analytics found that u.s. space companies
8:45
are poised to benefit from Russia.
8:47
Cutting itself off for much of the global space industry with
8:50
SpaceX, the clear winner and launch market exemplified this
8:54
morning by one webs New Deal. So one web is a satellite
8:58
provider and they cite a deal with SpaceX just recently too.
9:02
Launch their satellites, and it's a pretty big deal.
9:05
So Elon Musk replied and said SpaceX, default plan was 65
9:11
percent of global launch Mass to orbit this year.
9:15
Huge huge deal. Incremental demand might take
9:18
that to 70%. So now two major change.
9:21
Those numbers don't count Starship, so, Ilan.
9:26
Just hit something pretty big, like those numbers.
9:29
Don't count Starship. So Elon is planning, Starship
9:34
launches this year. So 70%.
9:36
So now, two major change but they don't count Starship.
9:39
So anything with a Starship launch, anything that starts
9:42
with his lodging, may, it might be Starling satellites.
9:46
I could be launching, you know, thousands of star Like
9:48
Satellites is here. If they get Starship to a point
9:50
where they can actually do that, it's going to take awhile mind
9:54
you, because they don't even Have a prototype that we've seen
9:59
down here at Starbase of a, basically, a lid, for the
10:03
Starship, the front of the Starship, the nose, the
10:05
Starship, I wish I had my model here with me, so I can show you
10:07
guys but the front of the Starship, the nose, the Starship
10:10
opens up. So it's like this and then it
10:11
opens up like that, then the satellite flies out of it pretty
10:16
crazy, pretty crazy. That's actually a thing.
10:19
This show is brought to you. By backblaze, I use back place
10:22
to back up my podcast. My video files, all of my
10:25
writings. Tough and all my photos.
10:27
And you get unlimited computer backup for Macs and PCs for just
10:31
$7 a month. You can backup your own
10:33
documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
10:36
data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
10:40
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
10:43
to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
10:47
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail or
10:49
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
10:52
to your door. I could come to your business to
10:54
and you can restore return. Refund program.
10:57
So you can buy a hard drive restore, send the hard drive
11:00
back within 30 days and get a full refund.
11:02
So basically they ship you this hard drive and then you ship it
11:06
back and you don't ever pay for it which is the perfect program
11:09
for somebody who has huge files. You don't want to waste days and
11:12
days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
11:16
And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
11:17
files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
11:20
history to one year, and I use it for all of my video files
11:25
comes in. Super handy.
11:26
So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
11:29
you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.

12:21

12:26
Ilan backblaze.com he'll on. But if they were to do that and
12:31
they were to also do ride sharing with other companies on
12:34
Starship. Yeah.
12:37
Ilan. It would blow everything out of
12:39
the water. It's going to be crazy how much
12:40
more stuff they can throw up there into space and launched
12:43
into space. Rough math is Sixteen Tons. 50
12:48
launches 800 tons. Ilan says rest of the world is
12:52
less than 400. Tons mostly China.
12:56
Said 410. So they're doubling the what
12:59
everybody else is doing plus because if it's less than 400,
13:03
tons mostly China and then Ilan says, they have 800 tons for 50
13:09
launches. That's, that's huge.
13:12
So it is this this mean that Elon and SpaceX are a monopoly.
13:17
People were talking about this the other day about how Ilan
13:19
have and SpaceX has kind of taken over the flight, the
13:23
spaceflight industry and not Yet, let's just say not yet
13:27
because they do have, you know, they do have a 70% share but
13:32
that's because there's nobody else doing it, you know.
13:35
There are other companies that can do it.
13:38
But SpaceX does it cheaper and better than those companies.
13:42
So it's like should those companies step up and make
13:44
better rockets and cheaper rockets and, you know, fight for
13:49
their spot. Yes 100%, yes.
13:52
They should. Because there's no way they're
13:54
going to stay in this business. If you Don't fight for that spot
13:57
because it's a, it's a battle for the billions.
14:01
You know, billions of dollars, people launch satellites all the
14:03
time. Then, you know, they're gonna,
14:09
they're gonna have to fight for it because they, you know, other
14:11
companies have the resources to build new rockets.
14:14
They have the engineers. They have, the people power,
14:17
they have the infrastructure, they just haven't done it yet.
14:20
So, not quite yet, is all I'm going to say Happy Camp.
14:25
He says, sorry if I missed it a deal on say which ships will
14:27
launch. If not for 20 Matt yet.
14:31
I haven't heard anything yet from anybody on the ground.
14:34
So we're, I'm just going to keep That speculation at Bay for now
14:38
until a to we figure out a little bit more information
14:42
about what's happening. Because speculation about those
14:45
about those Rockets is seems like there's plenty, there's
14:50
numerous rockets that I could be in numerous posters that could
14:53
be. So there's potential for a lot
14:56
of different things, but that could be another show, you know,
14:59
if we if we want to do that one though, it could be another
15:00
show. So LL Garo, thank you so much.
15:06
Much. You know what, man, I got to get
15:07
you guys some. I'm gonna get you guys some Some
15:13
some Starships here, there we go.
15:16
You get some Starships along, Garo there.
15:18
You get a Starship because you did a Super Chat.
15:21
Thank U so much, happy cat. Be sorry.
15:23
You didn't get a Starship. I was a little bit late on the
15:26
draw there but thank you so much for that.
15:29
I'll let so anything from from Super chassis.
15:31
Super stickers, go directly and memberships.
15:34
Go directly into funding this show this program so we can
15:38
continue doing this and getting you footage like this.
15:41
This, which is I have a full video of that on the channel if
15:44
you want to check it out, but it's it costs money to do this
15:48
stuff. So, anything through super
15:50
strict chats, and super stickers.
15:52
Very, very helpful. Thank you so much for that.
15:54
I really do appreciate it. Very cool.
15:58
So, let's get back into the news.
15:59
I'll hunger. Oh, thank you so much, peace.
16:01
Keep a kind of peace to you too, man.
16:05
Happycabbie says, is it official 420 will not fly?
16:08
Yes, if we can play a sad trombone or sad, trumpet for
16:14
ship 20 and booster for, we will get into that right now.
16:20
So ship 21st. This is what we're talking about
16:24
right here. Elon Musk says, first Starship
16:27
orbital flight will be with raptor.
16:28
Two engines, ship 20 isn't ready for up to two engines.
16:31
Booster for isn't route ready for Rapid to engines as they are
16:35
much more capable and reliable 230 ton or Killer pound thrust
16:41
at sea level will have 39 flight-worthy engines built by
16:46
next month, Raptor 239 Raptor 2's by next month, then another
16:50
month to integrate. So hopefully May for orbital
16:53
flight test. So, may 20-22 just a few months.
17:01
Elon Musk says it's possible that star ship could launch with
17:07
raptor to enter 39 flight-worthy engines.
17:11
That is incredible. That's incredible.
17:14
So Evelyn she's from around here too she's from down.
17:18
Here will Starship SN 20 and super heavy booster and
17:24
super-heavy booster for still conduct the orbital flight or
17:27
new prototypes even responded with New.
17:33
So there you go, there's a little bit of sort of sort of
17:35
answers your your question happy.
17:39
It'll be a new booster and new ship, so ship, 20 ship and
17:46
booster for buh-bye. We're going to play.
17:51
We're going to play a sad trumpet.
17:52
I don't have one on hand. Don't have a trumpet on it, man.
17:56
But I wish I had something to be a trumpet right now, but I
17:58
can't. I don't have it.
18:01
So, unfortunately. In La, unfortunately booster for
18:05
and ship 20 are going to go the way of the dodo and they're
18:09
going to be maybe canned crushed, I'm not sure.
18:11
I'm not sure we're going to be doing with them but they may
18:13
just they may take them if they if the survives the can crusher.
18:18
They may move them to the Rocket Garden, which would be really
18:20
cool. But that's a lot of rockets
18:22
Perpetual nerd. You get a Starship thank you for
18:25
the for the gas fund. I appreciate it.
18:27
Really helpful, super helpful. Yeah, so that'll get me down to
18:32
Starbase that'll be awesome. Thank you so much for that, but
18:36
yeah. So Ilan said new didn't didn't
18:39
elaborate. So that's what I was saying
18:41
earlier. Happy about the can't really
18:44
speculate what it's going to be. Could it be booster 7?
18:47
Could it be booster? 8, could it be you?
18:49
No. Could they skip a few?
18:50
They're building so much stuff down there that they could
18:53
Franken booster something together and build.
18:55
Something. Absolutely new ready for.
18:59
You know, because they could find something.
19:01
This is, okay. So let me, let me back up here,
19:03
SpaceX has been known for just scrapping full systems, because
19:09
something better comes along rapid iteration of this process
19:13
is important to get a Starship off the ground in the coming
19:18
months. So if they see something that's
19:20
better, and they say that it'll save them time in the future,
19:24
build it out. So anything that's on the
19:26
production floor right now, it could Scrapped moved away and
19:33
they could move on to something else new.
19:35
So that's why I don't want to speculate about it but we can't
19:39
in another episode. I just don't want to do it right
19:40
yet because you know, because you never know, you never know
19:46
what's gonna happen with Space X.
19:49
So the another thing that SpaceX has to has to really deal with
19:52
is the FAA. So here we go, there's a, the
19:57
fááá's draft. Environmental review.
20:02
So SpaceX cannot launch Starship until this environmental review
20:07
goes through. The can't do it and the FAA
20:11
said, they are going to be done with this within 6 days from
20:16
now. So today is the 22nd they'll be
20:19
done on the 28th for this and if SpaceX passes this, they'll have
20:24
environmental Readiness for a flight of Starship, I was going
20:29
to say I said 20, but it's not going to be.
20:31
I said, 20 booster for anywhere. I was thoroughly in the camp of
20:34
booster foreign ship 20 100%. I was like, why would they move
20:37
on? But they are going to.
20:39
So could take the months. Ilan, says may I know how things
20:45
work down here. Now that I've been here for a
20:47
little while and it seems like it's Ilan time.
20:51
So let me, let me elaborate on that.
20:53
There's, there's things that Elon things can be done at a
20:58
very rapid pace. And then people get involved in
21:02
logistics, get involved. And sometimes those things don't
21:05
work out. Very well.
21:07
So, it's possible. We get a launch in June, or July
21:11
or August of this year or even later depending on what's going
21:14
on with these boosters and the ships and the, and the, and the
21:17
Raptor twos. But since they had a Pathfinder,
21:21
this is they have booster force that they have chip 20, Those
21:25
are Pathfinders, right? So those things will make it
21:29
easier for the next iteration of boosters and ships to come down
21:33
the line. So the the rate that they'll be
21:36
able to put together a new booster, in a new ship, should
21:42
be pretty fast. Comparably to the ones that they
21:47
have right now. They they should launch SN 22
21:53
10K and Practice. Another Landing.
21:56
That would be really cool happy. I am 100% in that camp.
22:00
It would be really cool to see how it how it flies with the
22:03
with the heat tiles. I think that'd be really cool.
22:06
Would it be worth it though? Happy I want to ask everybody
22:08
here to what it'd be worth it. To launch a ship.
22:12
You know a Starship not the fully stacked super heavy but
22:15
just a Starship to test you know navigation and also test the the
22:20
titles to see if they'll actually you know sustain a
22:23
launch CH because I think would be important to know the data
22:28
for a launch of a ship. And if the tiles were to fall
22:32
off during that launch, you know, the re-entry could be
22:36
devastating. So, moving forward with that.
22:39
The You know, if they if they get sent ship 20 up, it would be
22:44
a glorious way to end a shift 20s career.
22:47
But also is it worth it to launch it and then have a mishap
22:51
and you know possibly destroy some, some infrastructure at
22:58
Starbase launch site, it just to get, you know, a little bit of
23:01
data from the from the From the, from the flight.
23:06
So, is it worth it? I don't know.
23:09
I don't think it is but that's up to those guys because they're
23:13
the engineer's, you know, they're the people that need to
23:15
know this information, but I would love to see it.
23:19
I would absolutely love to see it.
23:20
I don't think it's worth it though, but well, you never know
23:23
to that's the thing. Like if they think, it's think
23:26
it's pertinent and I think it's possible to do it without any
23:29
damage to the to the launch site then.
23:32
Yeah, they might as well. I mean, May as well get that
23:35
data if it's going to be important to Future flights of
23:38
the next ship. So environmental review six days
23:45
away. So six days from now, we're
23:47
going to do a countdown climb timer here on the on the
23:50
channel, will do a Starship countdown timer so stay tuned
23:54
for that to. That'll be amazing.
23:59
It'll just be a funny gag kind of thing, you know, like
24:01
robitaille, all right, we're just waiting, you know, we're
24:03
just waiting for the FAA and then they're going to push it
24:06
back a month, probably, you know, you never know what the
24:08
FAA to if they get to the end of this process.
24:11
And they say, Hey, you know, this doesn't look good.
24:15
They could postpone it for another month, holy cow.
24:19
Did we just get another Super Chat?
24:20
We did. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
24:23
thank you, Ellen, for the gas money.
24:26
I do appreciate that. That's really helpful.
24:29
Awesome. Very, very cool.
24:32
Now, let's move on to another thing that I was thinking about
24:34
the other day, we brought this up in another episode but an
24:38
elite. Thank you so much for that,
24:39
that'll get me to Starbase with the gas prices.
24:41
Is rising and you know, fluctuating, you never know when
24:46
you're going to get enough gas, in your tank to get down there
24:49
again. So thank you so much for that
24:50
and I brought this up this next topic up on another video space
24:56
Hub. Underscore SL says, what's your
24:58
guess? Elon Musk?
25:00
You know, moon landing and Mars. Landing basically. 1969, moon
25:03
landing in the Mars Landing 20 Elon says 2029.
25:10
So That was it, that's it, that's it.
25:13
That's, that's his, his vision. His goal is to send people to
25:17
Mars by 2029. Now, with the rapid iteration of
25:21
Starship, the way it is, and with the players program moving
25:24
forward in dear Moon and etcetera, those will be
25:28
happening in the next few years. So, these flights that are
25:31
happening, you know, with with Starship and as testing, that's
25:35
happening with Starship right now, they have to move forward
25:38
with it and 2029, you know, we're 20:22 right now.
25:42
Seven years from now, seven years.
25:44
Could they have the infrastructure in place at
25:48
Kennedy Space Center to have because they're not going to do
25:51
it from Boca Chica? There's no, there's not enough
25:53
energy infrastructure down here to do all that stuff.
25:55
Yet this place Boca Chica Starbase is the Pathfinder for
26:01
everything that's happening at Kennedy Space Center.
26:03
And of course, if you're going to launch people to Mars for the
26:06
first time, you want the cooperation of NASA, you want
26:09
the cooperation of Kennedy Space Center.
26:12
You want all the cooperation from all the people involved.
26:16
So yeah, Ilan said 2029 And seven years from now.
26:22
That's it's a possibility. It's a pretty big possibility
26:26
that that happens. Now, one more thing before we
26:30
go, did I mention this in the very early beginnings of the of
26:34
the show? But there was a, I was talking
26:37
about the wind and the weather down here, right now, we have a
26:41
hazardous weather outlook for all of today.
26:44
Basically, we have a Red Flag Warning going on down here, the
26:49
temperature right now, Was 84 degrees, fair and Breezy.
26:53
Wind gusts were pretty high earlier today.
26:55
I would say, I don't know, I was hitting probably 20 miles an
27:00
hour where I am, so it's probably huge down at Starbase,
27:04
but in Brownsville wind speed 31 miles per hour, right now.
27:09
Hazardous weather outlook right now, day one today and tonight,
27:14
there is a high risk of rip currents.
27:16
Of course, that's out by the by the beach.
27:19
High. Surf advisory By the beach,
27:20
which is where SpaceX is Red Flag, Warning is in effect for
27:23
all of these Deep South Texas from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for
27:26
critical fire weather conditions.
27:28
So it's dry here, high winds and elevated risk of rip currents as
27:34
possible, local beaches. So Red Flag Warning is going on
27:38
a cold. Front will move through Deep
27:39
South Texas, early this morning, linked to another day of
27:42
elevated winds and very low relative humidity.
27:44
This this afternoon temperatures warm up as dew points.
27:47
Lower much more significantly than Monday.
27:50
Day assisting relative humidity to a plummet of 15 percent or
27:53
lower. So basically really dry and very
27:57
windy. Possible fire stuff going on
27:59
down. It's pretty wet near Starbase.
28:02
So I wouldn't really consider that a huge, a huge Factor but
28:08
it's it's totally possible. It's wet down there, but it's
28:11
also dry in a lot of spots down there too.
28:14
So we're SpaceX is there's a lot of concrete.
28:18
So I wouldn't expect SpaceX to have any sort of - damage, but
28:22
it's the wind that you have to worry about wind 20-foot,
28:25
Northwest winds between 10 and 15 miles per hour.
28:29
And what is say earlier here, 30 miles per hour, 31 miles per
28:33
hour right there. So it's gusting fear and Breezy.
28:37
Yeah, Breezy 31 mph. I'm almost knocked me off my
28:41
feet earlier. Holy cow, Mighty dad, didn't
28:44
thank you so much for that. Super check.
28:47
Keep up the great content for gasps.
28:49
Thank you. Yeah, that's going to keep me
28:51
going for a little bit. There you go.
28:52
You get a Starship, you get a Starship for that Super Chat.
28:57
Thank you so much for that. Let's see here.
29:02
What else we got? Let's do a little bit.
29:04
Let's do a little bit chat stuff going on here.
29:06
We're going to keep your super chat up there on the screen
29:08
while this happens for a little bit.
29:10
So Mark says actually you know Black Eagle gave me.
29:16
I will give you a link to that FAA page, and there you go.
29:20
And let's see. Mark.
29:22
So SLS will launch first. Whoo.
29:26
Yeah, probably probably. That's the, that's the plan.
29:31
Right. So I think that's going to
29:36
actually happen. I think that's going to happen
29:39
which for me as a spaceflight Enthusiast, there's no reason
29:44
for me to be mad about SLS to fly by itself.
29:47
You know, there's no reason for me to to be mad that, you know,
29:52
that one ship flies before another ship.
29:57
This is all one thing, right? So we're moving people forward
30:01
from Earth. Two other celestial bodies.
30:04
So SLS, of course, will take people with the Artemis missions
30:09
to the moon and further on and Starships going to do the same
30:12
star-shaped actually working with NASA.
30:14
So I think it's important that we all kind of, you know, kind
30:18
of take a step back sometimes and it's not about teams or
30:20
anything like that. Like which ship is better.
30:23
Big Orange ship is bad. You know, people, you know they
30:25
meme about it all the time but it's not the case.
30:30
You know, we love all spaceflight, all spaceflight.
30:33
If, if we never left Earth, this wouldn't be a thing.
30:37
You know, like if we never launched anything past Earth,
30:40
spaceflight wouldn't be a thing. So, SLS is important.
30:43
Starship is important, but it would be cool if they launched
30:47
around the same time. I think that'd be really neat,
30:51
we heard about this last night. And today, on the news here, in
30:53
Dallas Fort Worth, we hear Elon still has to get approval.
30:56
Yeah. Well, they do.
30:57
They do Joy. They do have to get approval
30:59
still for the heh. FAA.
31:01
So and they also have to get flight approval.
31:03
So the environmental approval is one thing and then the flight
31:06
approval is another thing. So they have to get both
31:08
approvals before they before they fly this thing.
31:12
So when they, when they build the next ship, when they do the
31:15
Raptor twos they put them on the ship.
31:18
The FAA has to come down inspect all this stuff, you know, the
31:23
they have the details Etc. They have to send somebody down
31:26
here for a flight you know, they have Fly somebody down here
31:30
basically. Actually there was it was I
31:34
talking to it was the other day. I was actually when I was
31:36
shooting this footage and this is this is a blurry footage.
31:40
I have some better footage of it but this is what I can throw
31:43
together this morning. So the yeah the the FAA has to
31:52
send somebody down here in order to do the things for the flight.
31:56
So in order to prep them for the flight and get them ready for
31:59
the flight, Right. The FAA has to be here and 11.
32:03
FAA person missed their flight, or couldn't get a flight here
32:08
for a Starship test launch at some point.
32:12
So they had to cancel the launch for that day because the FAA
32:16
person didn't show up. So it is words, there was like a
32:20
whole complicated thing, but it was, it was kind of a funny
32:22
thing too is a onlooker as a bystander.
32:26
Who was deeply entrenched in a stuff.
32:28
I think that it's important that we all know.
32:30
There's people involved too. It's not just checking off boxes
32:34
and you know okay rapper to can fly cool.
32:37
Booster can fly. Cool ship can fly'.
32:40
Okay so then you have to get government approval for all this
32:42
stuff too. So I have to get the sign-off
32:45
from the government that like okay these Raptor to is aren't
32:47
going to run on the pad boosters not going to run on the pad and
32:50
ship 20 or ship. Is it getting rid of the bed?
32:53
There was a little slip there shipped, what he's going to be
32:55
gone. So all those things need to
32:59
happen before this light and it's going to be great because
33:02
ship and booster whatever ones they use in the future that are
33:06
going to be flying from Kennedy Space Center will have already
33:11
have the environmental stuff done you know, already done.
33:17
So they don't have to worry about that at least.
33:20
So over here that right over there that right there, Starship
33:25
shirts.com, this is one of the shirts, cramps, dangerous
33:29
difficult you. Die.
33:30
Those are elon's words about Starship and we put them on a
33:34
shirt. So Starship shirts.com, you get.
33:36
20% off all of your orders on, check out, no matter what, you
33:39
don't need a coat or anything, you just go in there and check
33:41
it out and actually, you know what, I think, I think I bumped
33:44
it up to 33%. So I'm going to keep it there
33:47
for the remainder of the day. So you get it, like, a 25 dollar
33:50
shirt for 17 bucks or something like that.
33:53
I think, don't quote me on those numbers because, you know, I
33:58
might not be right with that. At, let me see what the price is
34:01
here. But anyway, yeah that's the best
34:06
the the case for this time here. So let me check this out for
34:10
you, make sure that we have all this stuff ready.
34:13
Starship shirts? We have our own site.
34:14
We have our own merch brows. Now, this is the this shirt
34:18
right here. Cramped dangerous difficult, you
34:20
might die. It's a mobile friendly.
34:22
And I have this kind of cut off on the other video just so you
34:26
can so I can fit more stuff in here.
34:28
Cramped dangerous difficult. You might die.
34:30
Starship y-you. Just A Myers.
34:33
Short sleeve t-shirt, Ilan said that about going to Mars so
34:37
numerous colors let's add it to the cart and see how much see
34:40
much of a discount I get because I'm just going to do a large.
34:43
Add to cart. There we go.
34:46
Let's do check out. I think it automatically does it
34:48
on check out too. So yeah.
34:51
So you get a discount, the YouTube discount, it's like
34:54
Seventeen dollars. So you get $8.23 and this may
34:58
vary depending on where you are and you know, taxes etc, etc.
35:02
But you Get an automatic 33% discount on your shirts at
35:06
Starship shirts.com, but you can load up on shirts, you know.
35:10
Buy a bunch of them if you want. Yeah, 33 percent off all your
35:14
order, your whole order. So that's my favorite one right
35:17
there. That's pretty cool.
35:18
It's classic. It's like an old old 50s diner.
35:22
Kind of pretty neat. Anyway, enough about that.
35:28
Let's get back into some SpaceX stuff.
35:31
So there's the FAA stuff but Yeah, the like moving forward
35:34
with SpaceX Starship and we're just going to keep an eye on it
35:38
especially with what new boosters are coming out what new
35:41
ships are coming out ship 22. Possibly you know we'll have to
35:46
look into it in a little bit further and see see what ships
35:51
are going to be produced in the near future.
35:54
Now they're moving a crane over to booster for right now.
35:58
Like I was saying earlier, they're going to, I think
35:59
they're going to lift booster, for off of Off the off the pad.
36:05
The launch pad at SpaceX is Starbase launch site.
36:08
Looking to move it onto what we refer to, as the can crusher,
36:12
which basically puts it through so much stress that it could
36:16
possibly destroy the, the booster, so they don't want it
36:21
to destroy the booster. But this may be the final test
36:25
of booster for if they put it on, the can crusher.
36:28
It just Blow it out, you know, shake it up so much that, you
36:34
know, the thing gets decimated. So it would be, it would be
36:39
unfortunate would be sad but it would go out with a blaze of
36:42
glory. So that's pretty cool.
36:44
I would be cool with that. Let's see.
36:48
Hey Michael. What's up?
36:50
What's up? We're just wrapping up here and
36:52
I'm, you know, I'm just figuring out the some of the final stuff
36:57
that's happening. I know they're moving.
36:59
For off the pad today hopefully and I know the the wind down
37:03
there is pretty pretty rough. So yeah, we're looking into that
37:10
as well. So mighty, thank you so much for
37:14
that. So we're looking into so many
37:18
things today. So many things that are
37:20
happening. What are they going to do is
37:22
ship 20? We're not sure yet.
37:24
Are they going to put it in the Rocket Garden?
37:26
Possibly are they just going to scrap it?
37:29
Maybe. Are they going to sell the tiles
37:31
off to everybody that loves SpaceX?
37:33
Nope, they're not gonna sell that stuff.
37:36
So, yeah, I wish they would, I wish they would sell like just
37:40
give me a tile, man, that would be awesome.
37:41
I would love to have that this like as a conversation piece,
37:44
just put it up on my mantle, you know.
37:46
And just have a piece of Starship.
37:48
I think that'd be really neat but yeah thanks.
37:52
Yeah. Thanks everybody for for hanging
37:53
out today and thanks for so much for all the super chats.
37:56
I really do appreciate it. We had a bunch of people El
37:58
hogar. Oh Happy Perpetual nerd.
38:02
Ellen. Mighty we have so many people
38:06
super chatting and super stickering right now.
38:09
That really do appreciate it and can really use that those
38:15
resources to bring you more content like this.
38:18
And I do plan on doing more live content from Starbase in the
38:23
near future. I'm figuring out logistics as
38:25
well. I do film there a lot, but I'm
38:27
figuring out more Logistics better.
38:29
Takes for filming and not filming but live streaming from
38:34
Starbase more. So because the signal down
38:37
there, you have to use a self fit a cell signal and it's not
38:41
that good. So starlink is on its way.
38:45
Sometime in the future, I have ordered it and due to the due to
38:50
the very generous people from this stream and fans of the
38:56
show, you know it's been It's been very, very humbling to see
39:03
that happen. So thank you, everybody.
39:06
Like, all the stars are all the super chats, all the super
39:09
stickers, all that stuff goes directly back into the show.
39:12
Basically, I don't take a profit for this.
39:15
I just live my life and do this show, that's that's it.
39:19
So thanks everybody for that. Final set off for be for bye-bye
39:23
before by ship 20. You were my you're my go-to man.
39:28
I am that. I'm the ship. 20 booster for,
39:31
they were my team, but now and I was, I was adamant like, why
39:36
would they go? Why would they move forward?
39:38
Why would they move forward with another booster?
39:39
Another ship. There's no reason to if these
39:41
things work, but they found a reason to.
39:46
Yeah, they found a reason to and like I have no control over
39:49
that. So for me, I'm happy to be wrong
39:53
like it's okay to be wrong. I'm totally okay with that.
39:56
I'm totally cool with that. I would rather be wrong.
39:59
Get, you know, get more information about the next
40:02
booster in the next ship, then to be like, stick with my guns
40:06
and be right all the time. You know, like scientific
40:09
method, you're wrong like 87% of the time and then you find, you
40:14
know, that's just how it is. And if you're okay with being
40:17
wrong, and then you're in the right industry because most of
40:19
the time, this stuff doesn't really work out too well.
40:23
I see some Vehicles as well moving down highway for right
40:28
now. I'm not sure.
40:29
If they're if they're roads closed, or if the roads open
40:32
again, but it was closed a little bit ago, I didn't get a
40:36
beach closure signal from Boca Chica Beach.
40:40
So, not earlier today. Yeah.
40:43
Do I taco trucks? Michael Maxie says be for can be
40:49
moved by using the Chopsticks. Just like SN 20.
40:53
Whoo. Yeah, that would be.
40:56
That would be something great. Wasn't it?
40:58
That'd be cool to watch. I hope that happens.
41:00
I really do. You don't have some RGV allies
41:06
to help him with the FAA. Yeah and I think you know I
41:10
think you Lon you know Ilan has worked and SpaceX has worked
41:15
with the FAA for a decade now so there's a lot you know, there's
41:21
a lot of communication between the two and you know it's not
41:25
like it's not like Elon is fighting the FAA or anything
41:28
SpaceX isn't fighting. The fááá, you fááá aren't the
41:31
bad guys here, you know, they're all Well they're all working
41:34
together to get this to work, to get it to work, right?
41:37
You know the it's not like a it's not a fight, you know.
41:39
Some people think it's like a fight like SpaceX is fighting
41:42
for this, they're working together, it's a team, it's a
41:45
team effort. So I want to make sure that
41:47
everybody realizes that. It's a team thing that the
41:49
government isn't out to get Elon Musk.
41:53
There's a lot of people. Well oh man, my cup just
42:00
squirted all over me. So there's a lot of people that
42:05
really think really think that SpaceX in the FAA, or the FAA
42:12
and the government are out to stop SpaceX from launching
42:15
Starship. Now, the reasoning behind that
42:19
is I don't know, I don't know why they would, why would they
42:22
stop this from happening? Is it because they, you know,
42:26
people think there's like a, you know, they have any interest in
42:32
helping out the old space companies but it's in the best
42:36
interest of everybody to help out whatever is going to work
42:39
better. You know.
42:41
It doesn't matter what kind of relationships you have with
42:43
people plus that's corruption and that's collusion.
42:46
That's all sorts of against the law.
42:48
And there's, there's so many things that could be, you know,
42:54
could be really bad for the government and really bad for
42:59
the FAA if something like that were to be found out.
43:03
So, I don't think they can and people are say yeah, there are
43:05
some people that are conspiracy theory minded, this a while,
43:09
they're just good at, they're just better at covering it up
43:11
now. No, they're not there people.
43:14
There will be somebody if that's happening.
43:16
There will be somebody that says no we're not going to do this
43:19
and they'll figure out a way to you know, figure out a way to I
43:24
get this thing working. But it seems like there are two,
43:26
there are so many people that are conspiracy minded about this
43:29
thing but it's not like that at all.
43:31
It's not like that at all. The The RGV reps.
43:35
Want SpaceX starbases. Yeah, I actually read an article
43:38
the other day. I can remember where I read it
43:40
but it was really. There we go.
43:45
I had it up on a tab actually. People have Cameron County,
43:49
probably do not realize how big an economic impasse impact
43:52
SpaceX is having it on the area from the Rio.
43:54
Grande Guardian, Rio Grande Guardian.
43:59
Let's see. Executive director of the
44:02
greater Brownsville incentives, Corporation Helen Ramirez in
44:06
2021 SpaceX have employed, 1,600, direct employees, the
44:11
invention that going up 30%. So as to say around 2,000
44:15
employees, if you take into consideration camera County, the
44:18
amount of jobs and contract labor.
44:20
We are really talking about 6,000 jobs with in Brownsville
44:25
and Camera County. That is our largest employer.
44:29
Yes. Jobs and also SpaceX is spent
44:35
over four hundred and thirty million dollars.
44:37
Locally she said the money is gone on to operations payroll
44:40
construction and capital expenditure so 430 million
44:43
dollars for this area. This was a very poor area
44:47
financially before SpaceX got here and six thousand jobs in
44:51
Brownsville and the surrounding area that is a lot of people
44:55
employed so there's no way the FAA would step in and say no
44:59
unless there's something Unless there's something horribly wrong
45:04
with the environmental stuff going on.
45:06
But there's no, there's no. There's no reason why they would
45:10
stop 6,000 jobs from happening as 20 has vac engines and the
45:17
likes of suborbital flight is not likely.
45:19
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too.
45:21
Like, why would they, why would they risk anything?
45:23
Let's take it, you know, bolt on some legs to it AI number 42,
45:29
you know, if they get Bowl some legs, But I don't see that
45:31
happening. Will you move to Florida,
45:34
Robert? That's a really great question.
45:37
And the answer is I'm not sure I love it here.
45:40
I think it's really cool in Brownsville.
45:43
I think it's really great in this area and I really love to
45:45
see like the Skunk Works going on at Starbase, I think it's
45:48
really cool. There are there are Vehicles
45:51
going down to Starbase right now.
45:54
I'm looking at another stream but there's a lot of there's
45:56
some vehicles moving down to the launch site.
45:59
So I think the roads are open again.
46:03
S20 could do a high-altitude hop to test the heat shield.
46:07
I mean, if they launched it into, I mean, they could launch
46:10
it into the Gulf, but they'd have to go through all sorts of
46:12
Permitting to do that. So would it be worth it to just
46:16
get some heat title data to launch it into the Gulf?
46:20
Probably not. It seems like that would be a
46:22
lot of work, just to get some, some heat.
46:24
I'll test going to have a Tracker to go to the FAA with
46:28
flights that are in the air right now, Joy.
46:31
Why I do have one. I have I have one bookmark
46:33
somewhere but I haven't used in a little bit.
46:40
You can see what's in the air now.
46:42
If I'm correct. Yeah, you can all the public
46:44
stuff, you can see what's in the air for the FAA tracker stuff.
46:49
And there's, there's flight trackers all over the place you
46:51
can find them. There's so many different flight
46:53
trackers all over the Internet. So, just pick one basically pick
46:59
one of, you'll find one, and you'll find some get
47:02
information. Yeah, so so SpaceX hasn't had
47:07
any sort of overpressure event. Happening in the last little
47:15
while, you know, since four months, so static fires aren't
47:20
going to be happening with booster for, that's that's what
47:23
we're guessing static fire for booster for probably isn't going
47:25
to happen. These are these are wrapped or
47:27
ones booster for so there's really no need.
47:30
If they're going to be moving on to booster or another booster in
47:33
Raptor twos, there's no need to test these Raptor ones on
47:36
booster for, it's just what they're going to be doing.
47:39
More pathfinding more testing of, you know, chapstick testing
47:44
and probably lifting some stuff up.
47:46
It seems like they're doing okay with that stuff though.
47:50
So there's really no reason to keep moving with the with
47:54
booster for and ship 20. Because their relics now they're
47:58
old, they're not going to be used but they could be doing
48:01
some testing on them to test out you know passable the orbital
48:05
flight pad and Stage 0 so we'll see.
48:12
We'll see hard to test the heat shield if you can't see the heat
48:15
shield when it lands in the gulf and have to catch land on, catch
48:19
arms and risk breaking and causing more delays.
48:22
Yeah, exactly. That's that's another thing too.
48:26
You know, we're hoping that works out well but yeah, getting
48:30
the getting the flight up would be really really great.
48:35
Would be really cool. William Cantina you get a
48:37
Starship. Look at that.
48:39
You get a launch separation and a Think of a Starship, what's
48:43
up, dude? William County do and I used to
48:46
skateboard together back in the day.
48:48
Good dude, good good, dude. Thanks, dude.
48:51
I appreciate that. That's really cool.
48:53
I'm gonna have to snowboard again.
48:55
Sometime that would be fun. Looking for the Travis Rice Pro,
48:58
brother, Travis Rice Pro, gotta get some, get some, get some
49:02
turns in this year except I'm a Texas.
49:04
So I'm going to have to take a trip.
49:06
So yeah. We're going to hook it up, it'll
49:08
be fun. Hope you're still riding.
49:10
Dude that Good, thanks for that super chat too because that's
49:15
going to help get me down to Starbase like four times, I
49:19
think or is that back and forth. I'm not sure back and forth
49:22
twice so thanks for that. Appreciate that.
49:25
All the all the super chats, all the super stickers, go right
49:29
back into the show, go right back into the program.
49:31
And so we can continue doing these things and staying down
49:34
here at Starbase, Texas and Brownsville and keep you up to
49:38
date with everything that's going on down here and get your
49:40
footage. Just check out the channel.
49:43
I have hundreds of hours of ship 20 booster for footage and
49:50
here's another video, I want to show you guys this video to
49:52
because I thought this is kind of me.
49:54
I did a I did a check this out in the In the chat there.
50:04
Check that link out that is for the full stack test of ship 20.
50:10
And booster for the other day, from on the 18th, pretty neat.
50:14
I had to it was very windy so I had to stabilize it in the
50:17
stabilization. Didn't work too well.
50:18
But did what? I could very cool.
50:21
The wind continued another $5. Thank you so much for that.
50:24
You are amazing. You are absolutely amazing.
50:27
Thank you so much for that. Will be transitioning to the
50:31
five dollar. Ship-launched momentarily.
50:36
There we go. Thanks!
50:38
Thanks a lot. Appreciate that, man.
50:42
So Brownsville or Harlington has a great Park to skateboard.
50:46
Brownsville is a pretty good Park?
50:47
Yeah, I've been there in Arlington.
50:48
Has a pretty good like pretty mellow Park?
50:51
I like it there. Yeah, should be pretty cool.
50:55
You know, and he'll on down here, in down here in
50:59
Brownsville, he's donated a bunch of money.
51:03
Millions of dollars for people to go to school like the kit for
51:08
the kids. Basically to go to school here,
51:11
he's also donated millions of dollars for downtown Brownsville
51:14
to be renovated and rejuvenate it.
51:17
But I downtown's Brownsville is classic Texas you know and you
51:24
drive down through downtown Brownsville.
51:26
It's completely different than the rest of Brownsville breast
51:29
Brownsville is like Notice it's built up, its Commerce.
51:35
You know, there's people there is like a little strip mall.
51:38
There's a Target. There's like all that stuff like
51:40
fast food, etc, etc, but in downtown Brownsville is classic
51:43
Texas and Elon wants to help keep it that way, but also helps
51:48
us stay in it and make it better.
51:49
So he's donate a bunch of money to this area and Cameron County
51:53
to just to keep it going. You know, he wants, he wants the
51:57
future kids to, you know, to have the training to To help him
52:03
with SpaceX in the future basically but Brownsville is
52:07
awesome. I love it here it's really cool
52:09
there. So there's a lot of opportunity
52:11
here to, you know, I was I was talking to some of the other day
52:15
and it's an engineer, you know? He's a, he's a metal worker, and
52:20
he was just hanging out, you know?
52:22
I was just hanging out with them, and he was like, so, so
52:26
what do you do? And I was like, oh, I film
52:27
SpaceX and he's like you film SpaceX but he mean I was like,
52:31
well, Day. My daily routine drive down to
52:35
SpaceX stand out of side of a really hot dirty Road for a
52:39
couple hours. Guess what?
52:41
E and then film, whatever the doin down there.
52:44
He's like, what do you do that? It is ask me where I do and I
52:47
said YouTube and he's like, really people watch that I'm
52:50
like oh people love it. I love it like this.
52:52
I moved here from New York and he was like what?
52:56
So he didn't understand why I moved here because it's just for
52:59
him. It's a normal day but he's like,
53:01
yeah, I'm looking forward. Work.
53:03
You know, I lost my job and I'm like, if you tried SpaceX and
53:06
he's, he's a metal worker and he's like, no, I haven't.
53:09
So I said I said, well, you should try SpaceX and they have
53:12
a bunch of jobs down there, engineering jobs and, you know,
53:16
stuff they have a actually have a, have a shuttle that brings
53:20
people down to Space X. So if you're in town here in
53:23
Brownsville they'll drive you, there you go to work, they drop
53:26
you off and then you come back and get you when your, when your
53:28
shifts done. So yeah.
53:31
Pretty pretty interesting. See that, you know, they could
53:34
have an impact on this guy and they could possibly get them a
53:38
good high paying job in this in the area and he could like the
53:44
place that I'm going to be, like, totally honest with you
53:45
guys. Kenneth, thank you so much for
53:47
that. Super Chat.
53:48
Thank you so much. There is your Starship.
53:51
You get a Starship and you get a Starship.
53:53
Everyone gets a Starship. I wish I was, I wish I'd like
53:57
Oprah. You know how she looks?
53:58
Like you get this, that'll be great.
54:01
But I don't but thank you. So much for the super check
54:04
Kenneth. I appreciate that.
54:06
So the local people here, you know, they're they're
54:08
hard-working people and there is the docks, right?
54:12
So there's the port of Brownsville and they work with
54:16
heavy, huge machines all the time.
54:19
So this is a great place for SpaceX to be because they
54:23
already have the workers here. You know there's no reason to
54:26
not have the have that here because it's a great place to
54:29
launch rockets but also they have the workforce.
54:32
So So this person that I was talking to the other day, he was
54:34
like, I'm an engineer. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a metalworker.
54:38
I was like, just go for it man. I was like, they're looking for
54:40
people all the time. So SpaceX has had a huge impact
54:45
on Brownsville and I can see it. Like I can literally see it
54:49
because Brownsville before I got here, six months ago.
54:54
Just like pretty about the other side of town but it's like 10
54:58
minutes away from me. Empty Fields.
55:01
Nothing right? Three months in two apartment
55:06
complexes shut up. They need places for these
55:09
people live and also there's a new shopping center, big builds.
55:13
There's numerous shopping centers, being built numerous
55:15
gas stations, which is funny because there's a pretty big tub
55:19
population of Tesla's here, which is It's when I, when I
55:24
moved here, I was like, probably going to be like big pickup
55:26
trucks, right? Like there are a lot of big
55:28
pickup trucks here but I see a lot of Tesla's here so because
55:32
there's a Tesla dealership Tessler, a Tesla dealership, the
55:38
north side of town around the whatever the other on the other
55:41
side of town and yeah but I see Tesla's all the time and it
55:46
shows that people here are making the money to have a
55:49
Tesla. You know, if you buy a Tesla
55:50
it's at least forty thousand. if not more so your payments are
55:55
going to be let's just say 600 bucks a month at the basic like
55:59
basic 600 bucks a month for a car just for a vehicle and you
56:06
know if you live in an apartment your rent the rent here is
56:09
ridiculously cheap like ridiculously cheap and the you
56:14
know I was I was driving around the other day and by the sports
56:18
park here they're building a new kind of cul-de-sac like really
56:22
Nice new homes. Like beautiful, beautiful new
56:26
homes. And there's a sign on it that
56:28
says, starting at seven hundred and twenty-five dollars per
56:31
month. And I was like, wait a second, a
56:35
whole house, like a brand-new 2022 house with everything,
56:41
seven hundred and twenty-five dollars a month and I thought
56:45
this cannot be right. This can't be right like that
56:48
doesn't make any sense. Because rent, where, where I'm
56:52
from The New York a house like that would be if you're going to
56:56
rent it, it's going to be twelve hundred two thousand dollars per
56:59
month. But down here, you can get a
57:01
house for seven hundred and twenty-five dollars a month.
57:04
It's it's ridiculously good pricing on housing right now and
57:08
also gas prices are only four bucks plus depending on where
57:12
you get it some places a little bit more.
57:15
If you go outside the town, the gas prices have risen here, it
57:20
was late was much lower before. So taking that into account it's
57:24
actually a really good place to live because there's everything
57:28
you kind of need right here in Brownsville in the surrounding
57:32
area like area like Arlington or halogen sorry and you know
57:37
there's stuff. 20 minutes away that we don't have in
57:39
Brownsville but it's only a 20-minute drive away.
57:42
It's really cool. The AC bill will get you.
57:45
Yeah, that's what get that's what gets you.
57:47
The electric bill electric bill. Really does get you.
57:50
You can have a inexpensive house.
57:52
Aus, a really nice inexpensive house.
57:54
But when the AC kicks on like my AC has been on since the day I
57:57
moved in here. You know, by AC has been good,
58:00
it's been cranking and yeah, the bills actually, you know, the
58:04
bills aren't that expensive. I've had it the same, the same
58:09
price or the same the same temperature.
58:14
Since basically, the day I moved in, like as low as it can get,
58:17
and it's relatively good pricing, so, but it's pretty
58:24
good. Like, I'm okay with it, you
58:26
know? Like, I've lived in much more
58:28
dumpy your way dumpy or places for more money and like, I'd
58:35
rather live here because it's cheap.
58:37
It's cheap and you have, you know, you have all the things
58:40
you need, right? So that's pretty cool.
58:43
And you have a SpaceX rocket Factory like 20 minutes away
58:46
from you. So thats pretty cool too.
58:48
So that's like sort of a sort of up side note for my for
58:52
everybody that's, you know, that's wondering what's going on
58:55
in Brownsville in the surrounding area.
58:57
You know. There's of course, you know,
58:59
it's not a really It's not a very rich area you know not yet
59:06
but I think prices will go up in the next few years.
59:08
If they're if SpaceX continues doing what they're doing there's
59:11
going to be more high-paid. Engineer's more high-paid
59:15
everybody because SpaceX pays well and they're okay with
59:19
paying California prices in Texas, you know.
59:22
So yeah the moving forward I think SpaceX is going to do a
59:27
great job with helping out the Brownsville and surrounding
59:32
areas, Cameron County, Etc because Yeah, so that's that's
59:39
the that's the thing, right? So they're bringing a lot of
59:45
people here. Will count Cena says recovered
59:47
Hornell skateparks shred. When you visit?
59:49
Yes. Yes, we will.
59:50
That'll be fun. Yeah, so that is going to wrap
59:55
it up for today everybody. I really do appreciate your
59:58
time. I appreciate everybody here for
1:00:02
helping out. I'm trying to figure out if I
1:00:04
can find who helped out today. Day.
1:00:08
So I can give you guys a shout out.
1:00:10
Kenneth thank you so much Bill Conti no Twice Mighty Downton

that we are in from doing these shows these podcasts, Goes
1:00:38
directly back into getting footage of Starship Starbase so
1:00:42
we can make more videos, bring you all the information that you
1:00:44
can get from Starbase and Beyond to the Moon to Mars and Beyond.
1:00:51

Only takes a second, so yeah, Mark says, Thumbs Up.
1:01:11
Everybody Rod Trader. Hey man.
1:01:13
What's up, Boca? Chica was retirement venue
1:01:15
before SpaceX. Now you're working another work
1:01:18
as I come. Yeah, Michael Max.
1:01:19
Exactly was a retirement destination super chill down
1:01:22
there. Super chill.
1:01:26
Yeah, it's super cool down there to like there were what 10
1:01:29

1:01:36
everything, beautiful, beautiful area.
1:01:39
So thanks everybody again. I really do appreciate you.
1:01:42
Let me see if this new ending screen, I'm going to test out
