Elon Musk Fires Back at Jeff Bezos Law Suits + Falcon 9 and Starbase Updates · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:05
  Hi everybody. Welcome back to the space news.
• 0:07
  Paw this is a show about SpaceX NASA and space flight.
• 0:10
  I'm your host will Walden and of this episode, we're going to be
• 0:13
  talking a little bit about Starship a little bit about
• 0:16
  Starbase a little bit about Falcon 9 and there's a cargo
• 0:21
  mission go to the ISS. So let's jump into it.
• 0:24
  First and foremost, of course we have to talk about road closures
• 0:29
  at Starbase The last road closure is for the 26.
• 0:33
  That was yesterday, so it doesn't look like we have any
• 0:36
  road closures or bigger testing scheduled for Starbase in the
• 0:41
  next coming days. So possibly, this might change
• 0:44
  over the weekend. They may close some roads
• 0:47
  Highway for early next week, Monday through Wednesday, then.
• 0:52
  Let's see what day is today, today is the 27th.
• 0:54
  So if they do it on Monday, it'll be the 30th and the 31st
• 0:58
  Ceylon wanted to get Starship. We Backed by about the first of
• 1:03
  September. So I don't think that's going to
• 1:05
  happen. I mean they still have to static
• 1:08
  fire the booster. They still have to do cryo tests
• 1:11
  on both the booster and the Starship and they still have the
• 1:14
  static fire, the Starship. So it doesn't leave him much
• 1:17
  time to get this thing up. And ready to fly for the orbital
• 1:23
  flight test, which Elon wants to get done by the end of this
• 1:26
  year, basically, as soon as possible would be the best
• 1:29
  opportunity, but But he's got a way for the FAA and they also
• 1:32
  have to fix a bunch of stuff on the Starship or I should say
• 1:36
  install a lot of things. Plumbing, Raptors, Etc, still.
• 1:40
  So there's a lot left to do on the Starship and on the booster
• 1:44
  before they can actually fly this thing.
• 1:47
  So I said before middle of September and I'm probably
• 1:50
  wrong. You know, I'm possibly October,
• 1:54
  you know, it's going to be a little bit.
• 1:56
  Plus the, FAA still has some some stuff to go through.
• 2:01
  They have to do the environmental impact study, they
• 2:03
  have to do the Tower study. So if they say no to the tower,
• 2:08
  then Elon and SpaceX might have to rebuild a bunch of it, but
• 2:12
  I've been doing a lot of work on it.
• 2:13
  Can see I'm working on it all day long and, you know, it could
• 2:18
  be October. So just take that with a grain
• 2:20
  of salt. It's SpaceX it seal on time.
• 2:23
  So you never really know what's going to be happening with
• 2:27
  Starship down there at Starbase. But by the way, In about a week
• 2:32
  and two days. So next Sunday I'm going to be
• 2:36
  heading out on the highway towards Starbase I'm going to
• 2:40
  be. I'm taking a five day road trip
• 2:43
  basically to get down to Starbase and then I'll start
• 2:47
  producing content. Of course I still have to do
• 2:49
  like real life stuff when you get down there, you know like
• 2:52
  move in to my apartment that might take a couple days but
• 2:55
  then after that. The 10th is, was my move-in
• 3:00
  date. So this show is brought to you
• 3:01
  by backblaze, I use back place to back up my podcast.
• 3:05
  My video files, all of my writing stuff, and all my
• 3:08
  photos. And you get unlimited computer
• 3:10
  backup, for Macs, and PCs for just $7 a month.
• 3:13
  You can backup your own documents photos videos.
• 3:16
  Drawings projects, all of your data and access your backed up
• 3:20
  data from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can
• 3:23
  access the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
• 3:27
  And The cool part. This is my favorite part.
• 3:29
  You can restore it by mail or hard drive will come to your
• 3:31
  house with all your data shipped to your door.
• 3:34
  I could come to your business to and you can restore return
• 3:37
  refund program so you can buy a hard drive restore, send the
• 3:41
  hard drive back within 30 days and get a full refund.
• 3:44
  So basically they ship you this hard drive and then you ship it
• 3:47
  back and you don't ever pay for it which is the perfect program
• 3:51
  for somebody who has huge files. You don't want to waste days and
• 3:54
  days downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
• 3:57
  And if I worried about accidentally deleting your files
• 4:00
  to bucks extra month. You can increase your retention
• 4:02
  history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
• 4:06
  Files comes in super handy. So seven dollars plus two
• 4:09
  dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.
• 4:12

  there's there's a lot of cool stuff happening.
• 5:21
  Like I got to I got to tell you guys about this and some other
• 5:24
  video or else. I'll start rambling about it
• 5:25
  this whole video but we got some other stuff to take care of.
• 5:27
  So Stay tuned basically. We'll do it next week or this
• 5:31
  weekend. So check this out.
• 5:33
  I want to show you guys this. This is a this is the cargo
• 5:37
  Dragon. It's going up to the space
• 5:40
  station this weekend. Saturday at 3:37 am.
• 5:45
  I'm not streaming this one, that's too early 3:37 am, I'm
• 5:49
  dedicated but that's really early or pretty late depending
• 5:53
  on if you want to stay up that late or not.
• 5:55
  So SpaceX is planning to launch. Its cargo Dragon.
• 5:57
  This is from the NASA. A website its cargo Dragon
• 6:00
  spacecraft to the International Space Station, Saturday at 3:37
• 6:04
  a.m. eastern time. It will arrive on Sunday and Doc
• 6:08
  autonomously at 11 a.m. So we might be due the docking.
• 6:10
  That might be fun. To the harmony module, is
• 6:12
  forward, International docking. Adapter Port packed with new
• 6:15
  science, experiments, and crew supplies.
• 6:18
  So Thursday, yeah, there's a Saturday at 3:37 a.m. that's
• 6:24
  what's happening for the next SpaceX launch.
• 6:28
  This a Starship because I'm all I have Starship on my mind
• 6:31
  because I'm going down there to see Starship.
• 6:33
  But there's also two space, spacewalks plan to set up
• 6:37
  Russia's new module. And yeah, that's going to be
• 6:41
  pretty cool on this weekend. So if you're up at 3:37 a.m.
• 6:45
  eastern time, make sure to check that out.
• 6:47
  You can check it out on NASA's feed or probably spacex's feet
• 6:50
  as well. I think on a SpaceX feed is
• 6:51
  probably better anyway, so yeah. Check that out, this weekend.
• 6:56
  Oh, they did some testing the other day on a GSE tank, a
• 6:59
  little mini GSE tank at Starbase.
• 7:03
  And by the way, the Falcon 9 static fired properly for the,
• 7:09
  for the dragon, the cargo Dragon.
• 7:12
  So everything's all set for that flight.
• 7:14
  So, the GSE tank testing the other day on the 25th and ocean.
• 7:20
  Kim, got some shots of it. He's also got some video to, but
• 7:24
  here's some pictures of the GSE tag.
• 7:26
  This is like a mini mini happy They tested the other day and
• 7:30
  they tested it for a while and it was successful.
• 7:33
  It looks successful to me, lots of like tons of venting.
• 7:37
  At one point tons and tons of venting at one point.
• 7:40
  So, it looks like everything went well with this GSE tank,
• 7:43
  that's a good sign for Starbase going forward, when they want to
• 7:47
  produce their own locks in the such to get SpaceX and Starship
• 7:52
  flight-ready. Because apparently there's a
• 7:55
  locks shortage right now. It's not really going to affect
• 7:58
  Effect SpaceX anytime soon. Apparently, according to
• 8:03
  according to Ilan. So you know we'll see what
• 8:07
  happens in the next month with these GSE tanks.
• 8:12
  Make sure everything works. The new tank farm for Starship
• 8:15
  but apparently locks isn't a big deal for SpaceX right now.
• 8:19
  Now there's some other stuff going on with SpaceX.
• 8:24
  They've had people defect from Blue origin to SpaceX and
• 8:30
  people, you know, like once you get done as an engineer when you
• 8:33
  get done with a job, you know, you kind of move on to the next
• 8:36
  one, you know, if you're contracted to do x y z.
• 8:40
  So if you're going to build a moon lander, so to speak, and if
• 8:44
  you built the moon lander, then you move onto the next thing.
• 8:46
  Then you go to another company because you see another project
• 8:49
  that you're interested in your contract might be up, but here's
• 8:52
  an article from CNBC the other day I'm gonna show you this one.
• 8:57
  This is top talent departs. Jeff Bezos is blue origin,
• 8:59
  that's from Michael sheets the sheets tweets on Twitter.
• 9:03
  Blue origin is lost more than a dozen key leaders in top
• 9:07
  Engineers. The summer CNBC has learned with
• 9:10
  most leaving in weeks after founder Jeff Bezos a space y.
• 9:13
  So that was that's what I was saying.
• 9:15
  A lot of people get done with her their job, right?
• 9:17
  So like if your job is to make you know Jeff Bezos fly then
• 9:22
  you're like oh cool I did it. It.
• 9:23
  Like, that's I've accomplished that.
• 9:25
  I'm going to go accomplish something else now.
• 9:26
  So Engineers might leave the company after that.
• 9:29
  I know software Engineers do that all the time.
• 9:31
  Probably a two-year turn around. Most the time, if you're lucky
• 9:34
  for a software engineer, several of the engineers who left were
• 9:36
  part of Blue Ridge as astronauts lunar lander program and since
• 9:41
  they didn't win the hls, I could see why they would leave earlier
• 9:44
  this year, blue origin, lost its bid for NASA's development
• 9:47
  contract and shortly after basis of spaceflight Blue, Ridge and
• 9:50
  gave all its full-time employees.
• 9:52
  Ted Grant, No strings attached, cash, bonus.
• 9:55
  So that's like a real brief summary of this and then there's
• 9:59
  Jeff celebrating. I thought that was pretty like
• 10:01
  that's such a great photo of Jeff going like, yeah, II
• 10:04
  celebrates after he flew because new Shepherd, like, as much as
• 10:10
  you know, it doesn't make orbit. It's still a cool thing.
• 10:13
  Like you can't tell me that you wouldn't take a flight in that
• 10:16
  thing, because that would be fun.
• 10:17
  I would take a flight in it. I think it'd be fun.
• 10:21
  Company has over, 4,000 employee around 4,000 employees.
• 10:25
  And basically, if you go through this whole thing to go through
• 10:29
  this whole article, it's a great article, it's a CNBC article.
• 10:32
  I'll link it in the description. But basically, the said bunch of
• 10:36
  people left, some of them left for SpaceX, some of them left
• 10:40
  for other companies. Lockheed Martin, Etc.
• 10:44
  So people people do this all the time, so but this is a lot of
• 10:49
  especially Executives and Engineers to the same time
• 10:54
  because that gives usually stick around for a while because they
• 10:57
  know they can get that big payout.
• 10:58
  You know, the golden parachute as they say in the in business,
• 11:04
  I'm not am not a business guy but I use that term a few times.
• 11:07
  Grab the brass ring is another one.
• 11:10
  Okay, don't do that, please. Another thing.
• 11:16
  The high Bay, the high Bay at SpaceX is Starbase.
• 11:24
  They want to make a bigger one. The want to make a bigger High
• 11:26
  Bay so let me know in the comments what you think the new
• 11:29
  high Bay should be because it's going to be big.
• 11:32
  It should it be the higher Bay highest Bay, thick Bay wide Bay?
• 11:38
  Let me know in the comments what you think?
• 11:39
  Any one of those or anything that you think of in the
• 11:41
  comments would be very great. So check this out.
• 11:44
  RGV aerial photo. This is a new outlined for the
• 11:48
  high, the new high Bay. It's a big big facility.
• 11:52
  I think they can fit 9 boosters in there.
• 11:55
  Something like nine either 9. Starships are nine boosters in
• 11:58
  there. I think it's something like that
• 12:00
  eight or nine. So, think about that like that's
• 12:03
  a big wide and high. It's gonna be a little bit
• 12:06
  higher than the current High Bay is going to be much wider than
• 12:10
  the current High Bay 2. I think that was what I saw the
• 12:12
  other day and then Elon tweets can't wait for the new.
• 12:16
  Hi Bay. Yeah, we can't either.
• 12:19
  I want to see this thing go up. I'll be there.
• 12:21
  So I'm excited about that. I'll be there to watch this
• 12:24
  thing, go up, because it's going to be, you know, next couple
• 12:27
  months for this thing, to, to be built.
• 12:30
  Now, this is the thing that I'm that, I'm kind of like, like,
• 12:34
  Elon slapping back at Jeff, right?
• 12:37
  Ilan is slapping back at Jeff and it's, it's kind of funny.
• 12:42
  Like, Elon is the meme Lord, but he's really like, It's kind of a
• 12:47
  kind of funny thing for him to say, it's right on public, so
• 12:51
  check this out. Christian Davenport.
• 12:53
  Another front in a growing rivalry.
• 12:56
  Amazon, urges FCC to deny SpaceX is planned for second
• 12:59
  generation. Starlink why would they deny
• 13:02
  that? Why would they deny progression?
• 13:07
  And then he Lon turns out Bezos retired in order to pursue a
• 13:11
  full-time job. Finally lawsuits against SpaceX
• 13:15
  clapped back at him, striking back hard meme Lord and his
• 13:20
  fullest potential Elon Musk. That's the Tweet of the I think
• 13:24
  probably the Tweet of the month from Elan so yeah let me know
• 13:28
  what you think of the highest Bay the thick Bay the wide Bay
• 13:31
  whatever but I think this is a great tweet like Just just get
• 13:36
  it out, there does dish it out. And if you're going to get sued,
• 13:39
  let them like bring them on, right?
• 13:41
  So yeah, that's about it for today.
• 13:45
  Have a good weekend, everybody. Hopefully, we get to see the
• 13:48
  Falcon 9 launch as we can to. That would be great.
• 13:50
  Haven't had one of those in a little bit, so, bye-bye.
