SpaceX Starship Update - Space News Pod Live · Elon Musk Podcast

0:01
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Elon Musk Podcast.
0:05
This is a show where we discuss the critical Crossroads, The
0:08
Shape, SpaceX, Tesla X, The Boring Company, and Neuralink.
0:13
And I'm your host, Will Walden. Today's episode was recorded
0:17
live on our YouTube channel at Space News Pod.
0:21
So go check us out every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:00 Eastern
0:25
Time if you want more Starship content like this.
0:29
It's about an hour long. It's a free flow conversation.
0:32
No scripts. I just go for it, talk about
0:34
Starship in an unfiltered way. So please enjoy.
0:39
Today we're going to be talking about Starship because there's a
0:41
lot of stuff happening at Starbase.
0:44
The booster has been moved back. Booster 10 has been moved back
0:48
to the production facility, where it'll undergo maintenance.
0:51
It'll undergo a test, like a bunch of tests.
0:55
So it'll be ready for flight in the next.
0:57
So we'll talk about that a little bit because it might be a
1:00
little bit sound coming through. Star Traveler 29.
1:03
Thank you so much for that. Also.
1:04
Happy New Year, everybody. Happy New Year.
1:06
Hope you're doing great and had a great holiday.
1:09
And we're going to be doing more of these live streams this year.
1:11
So that's my commitment to you. Every Tuesday and Thursday,
1:13
we're going to do a live stream at 3:00 PM Eastern Time.
1:16
So please stay tuned and TuneIn every Tuesday and Thursday.
1:20
I haven't done live streams in a long time, but I really love
1:23
them so much. So we're going to continue doing
1:25
them just so we can continue with Starship updates with each
1:29
other and hang out. With that being said, let's get
1:33
into it. Booster 10, move back to the
1:36
production facility will undergo any sort of refurbishment.
1:40
They're going to check out all the piping, all the tubes, all
1:43
the engines, things that happened during the static fire
1:45
test and what when they did some cryo fuelling and cryo filling
1:50
and fuel filling and stuff like that.
1:52
Booster 10, back to production facility.
1:54
The ship. We're not sure if it's going to
1:57
be moving back. Hey, what's up, Debs?
1:59
How you doing? The great thing is the ship has
2:02
been static fired. Everything looks great with the
2:06
ship. And not 100% sure what they're
2:10
going to be doing with this thing because there's a few
2:13
options here that SpaceX could do.
2:16
And we'll talk about that in a little bit, too.
2:18
Debs, thanks for the Super chat. Thank you.
2:20
I don't know if I have my alerts on.
2:22
Oh, I hope I do. Because if so.
2:25
Oh, Debs, I don't think I got my alerts.
2:28
I'm in trouble. New Year.
2:31
Oh, I'm sorry. Let's see if I can get it.
2:36
I'm sorry. See if I can get it in here.
2:38
Maybe. Oh, I don't know.
2:40
I think I messed it up. The ship.
2:43
The ship. Nice, Nice voice there.
2:45
The ship is moving, possibly moving back to production Field
2:49
City. But we're not 100% sure about
2:50
that because the ship has been static, fired successfully
2:54
numerous times, and it looks like SpaceX is just moving on
2:58
with the booster at this point. They're going to check out all
3:00
the plumbing, make sure everything was great.
3:02
And that's like I said, back in the production facility and the
3:07
ship, they might just leave it where it is and do some
3:10
preliminary testing with it there because there could have
3:15
been some tile damage, there could have been something kind
3:17
of shaken loose. So they have thousands of
3:19
sensors in the ship and the booster and both of those were
3:25
they collected data from both of those during these tests and
3:28
they know what could be wrong and what's absolutely right now.
3:33
So SpaceX is going to do what they got to do to get this
3:37
flight ready for IFT three. There we go, Debs, what about
3:41
that? So if you Super chat, Super
3:44
sticker, become a member, anything like that, you get a
3:47
Starship launch with your name on it.
3:49
So thank you so much for that, Debs.
3:50
I appreciate that. You're going to get 2 Starship
3:53
launches, 2 1/2, let's do 2 1/2. So we're going to stage
3:55
separation and maybe not a booster landing 'cause he did
3:59
the 2 1/2 or it was 1 1/2 so he get 2 1/2 whatever.
4:02
But we're just going to have a fun time today.
4:04
This stream is chill. We're we're talking like just
4:08
hang out. We're just hanging out talking
4:09
about Starship. So right now it looks like
4:13
Booster's good, ship's good and they're going to be doing the
4:18
preliminary test like I said. So what do they do?
4:21
They check out the plumbing, they check out everything
4:24
inside, make sure everything is structurally sound before they
4:27
do the flight, IFT 3 flight. And there are some things after
4:32
what the booster did today when it moved back to the production
4:35
facility there, they have to do with the whole system.
4:39
The system is huge. Round systems, booster ship,
4:43
etcetera have to do everything and they're gonna be doing that
4:47
within the next possible month ish.
4:52
Just to do the checkouts of those things.
4:54
So what we're gonna do now is take a look at there's a there
4:58
was a booster firing on August 28th.
5:02
OK. So we're gonna, we're gonna go
5:04
back in time a little bit. So August 28th, 2023, right.
5:08
We have August 28th, 2023 booster static fire August and
5:14
then we go September, October, November till the liftoff of
5:20
Starship right here. So this is just from from
5:24
SpaceX. That in it's like November, like
5:27
mid November, so August, end of August to middle of November, so
5:31
4:00-ish months between the booster static fire and the
5:36
actual ship launch, the full launch of IFT 2.
5:40
So we know that they were working with the FAA closely.
5:44
The incident report between IFT One and IFT 2, so IFT One, we
5:50
know it didn't go very well at all, Like they collected a lot
5:53
of data. Sure they did, but they didn't
5:56
really get as far as what a lot of people expected.
6:00
Myself, I was expecting them to make it past the pad stage
6:04
separation. I was hoping that they would get
6:06
past stage separation, and I was hoping they would do a soft
6:09
landing of the booster in the Gulf of Mexico.
6:11
But that didn't happen. Everything blew up, right?
6:14
The liftoff is wonderful. It's a great shot from SpaceX,
6:18
but when it came to stage separation, everything went
6:20
kablooey. At that point.
6:22
There was another at IFT 2, like once.
6:25
It all went boom, another incident report was drawn up and
6:29
from SpaceX. SpaceX does that.
6:32
They do the incident report. They send it over to the FBA,
6:35
basically sends a memo back saying, OK, if you do these
6:39
things and they are acceptable and you show that you've done
6:42
these things, we will tell you that it's OK to fly the Starship
6:47
IFT 3 ship. But if there's any sort of
6:50
modifications to the flight, which we'll get into as well, if
6:54
there's any sort of modifications, SpaceX has to
6:56
tell the FAA that these modifications are happening and
6:59
then the FAA will approve them for those modifications as well.
7:03
And there's one thing that's pretty interesting about the
7:05
next, this next flight, and we can talk about that in a minute,
7:09
but it's a really interesting part of this flight and it's
7:14
part of NASA's Artemis program too.
7:17
And that is the propellant transfer that may be happening
7:21
in the Starship during this flight.
7:23
And we've been notified a couple times from people within the
7:27
industry and within the SpaceX that it's more than likely
7:30
happening. Unless something drastic happens
7:33
between the IFT 2 and IFT 3 flights that more than likely
7:38
SpaceX will be shifting their focus towards Artemis and not
7:43
just what they need to do, which is launch these things, get it
7:46
to work basically. So everything they need to do
7:49
for Artemis that they're going to start doing and the IFT 3
7:53
mission, if it's a propellant transfer which is part of the
7:56
Artemis program because they have to set a ship to the to
7:59
Earth's orbit and when they send the ship to the Earth's orbit,
8:03
it has to refuel, has to dock and refuel.
8:05
So part of that is part of the Artemis program, right.
8:09
So once they they dock with a booster, a tanker I should say,
8:14
then they do a propellant transfer load and then they send
8:17
them off to the moon. They do the propellant transfer
8:18
load numerous times, work like in between what Elon said, which
8:22
is four or five and then what a NASA employee said, NASA
8:26
representative said which is like 17.
8:29
So anywhere between 5 and 17. We're rolling right there.
8:34
Propellant transfer. Elon knows more of the systems
8:37
than anybody at NASA, so I'm assuming that he would know how
8:41
many transfer the propellant transfers will happen.
8:44
But thing is Elon isn't always the best at knowing exactly
8:50
what's going to happen. This is in best case scenario
8:52
four. And this could be.
8:55
Once they master the technology I could get down to 4.
8:59
Eventually years down the line it could get down to 4
9:02
propellant transfers. But right now they don't know
9:05
about boil off. How much boil off there's gonna
9:07
that's gonna happen in space due to radiation and due to sun's
9:10
energy and all sorts of other things because you can't
9:13
control, you know how much propellant is going to leak
9:17
basically. So yeah, so at this point, Elon
9:21
says 4/4, five or whatever. And then the NASA engineers and
9:26
representatives at NASA say it's probably more like 2017 to 20.
9:32
So probably the first couple times, I'm assuming 17 to 20,
9:36
maybe, maybe 10:00-ish. But they're going to do a
9:40
propellant transfer within the Starship for IFT 3.
9:44
So propellant transfer within tanks within Starship.
9:47
Don't know exactly how that looks.
9:48
We'll have to get more information from SpaceX about
9:50
what they're actually doing and how this actually works.
9:53
But there's a bunch of speculation out there, and I
9:55
don't want to speculate more because nobody really knows
9:57
what's going to happen until SpaceX basic, probably going to
10:00
be like a few days before the launch, they're going to be
10:02
like, hey, we're going to do this cool thing.
10:04
And then when they do this, when they talk about it, that's when
10:07
everybody will know about the speculation and who was right
10:10
and who was wrong or whatever. So we don't know basically, is
10:13
what I'm saying. It's like nobody really knows
10:15
until SpaceX says something. We can guess, but it's fun to
10:19
guess and it's fun to speculate. But you never know.
10:22
You never know what they're going to do.
10:23
Yeah. Marina.
10:24
What's up, Roberto? What's up, too?
10:27
There's no clearance from the FAA, Rick.
10:28
Yep. Yeah.
10:30
And there's no launch. Yeah, there's no FAA clearance.
10:32
Yeah, you're right. Cool T-shirt.
10:34
Thanks, Debs. Yeah.
10:35
This is our starshipshirts.com 33 Raptor engine booster shirt.
10:41
Check it out. starshipshirts.com.
10:42
We'll go over that a little bit later as well.
10:44
Yeah, we'll talk about that a little bit later, too.
10:46
So it's been, as I was saying, August 28th, so about four
10:51
months between the last static fire and of IFT 2 and the actual
10:57
launch of IFT 2. So four months, four months.
11:01
And of course, some of that was they had to figure out what's
11:05
going on with the FAA and there was a environmental study and
11:10
everything that was a long time to do to get through all that
11:13
stuff. It could have taken maybe a
11:16
month if all that stuff wasn't part of it.
11:19
So there are environmental groups right now trying to
11:22
challenge SpaceX and and the FAA about the environmental impacts
11:26
of Starbase, which is really weird thing because you got to
11:29
think about like where they're coming from too.
11:31
Like the environmental groups are they're right in ways.
11:35
And I want to be play devil's advocate for both sides because
11:39
hey, NC Davis, thanks, man. New Year's new donkeys.
11:42
Yeah, baby, there we go. We got our donkeys.
11:45
What if I switched to Starbucks? Would you guys freak out because
11:47
it's been years. It's been years of Dunkin only.
11:50
So there is two sides of this story, right?
11:52
And we're going to talk about this a little bit, but I don't
11:55
want to make this all about the environmental impact because I
11:58
want to talk about the Starship. So there are environmental
12:01
groups right now that are suing the FDA and suing SpaceX about
12:06
the environmental damage that is occurring at Starbase.
12:11
And they think there's environmental damage.
12:12
But the the FAA and the the Fish and Wildlife department said
12:17
it's not really doing any damage.
12:20
So the environmental groups are gonna continue to sue repeatedly
12:25
just to stop SpaceX from doing this.
12:26
They don't like big industry coming into this endangered
12:32
species habitat, which I totally understand If you're if you are
12:37
somebody that loves nature, I love nature.
12:39
I think it's great. I take walks in nature all the
12:41
time. And the part of it that I don't
12:45
understand is that if there are government bodies in place to
12:50
help us out, to show that SpaceX isn't doing anything really bad
12:55
to the environment down there, then there's a possibility also
13:00
that that the right, that SpaceX and the environmental agencies
13:07
are right. So I don't think the
13:11
environmentalists have really anything to stand on at this
13:15
point. I think what they're going to be
13:16
doing, it's just like fighting an endless battle trying to.
13:19
I don't know, they're just fighting this battle with SpaceX
13:22
that I don't know if they can do anything about it.
13:24
I don't know if they could get the get them to stop doing what
13:27
they're doing because they can't.
13:28
There's no way they're going to stop them at this point.
13:30
Yeah, it's going to be a, it's going to be a battle for them.
13:33
But also who knows? Who knows what's going to happen
13:36
in the future? So they might come up with a
13:38
really sound strategy to be like, hey, by the way, this
13:42
other thing's happening. And it's crazy like SpaceX is
13:45
doing these wild things down there at Starbase.
13:48
But there's also a part of it that I think SpaceX is just
13:54
going to win. So it's cool.
13:56
There's part of me that's just you just launch this rocket,
13:58
just get it over with. Those people I don't know.
14:01
And there's also, there's also there's environmentalists, but
14:03
there's also people that are native to that land that want to
14:06
use that land on times that SpaceX closes it down.
14:09
And they have all the right to the beach because it's a
14:11
protected place where their ancestors had, they had
14:16
ceremonies there and they also have ceremonies there.
14:18
So of course it's going to be a really important and special
14:21
thing to them. And I understand that.
14:22
I totally understand that. But also I want to go to Mars,
14:26
and I know everybody else that's probably watching this wants us
14:28
to go to Mars. So there's part of me that's
14:32
just, man, if they could just figure out a way to when things
14:35
happen there, could they just go, could they just tell SpaceX
14:39
in advance, be like, hey, on Thursday this thing's going to
14:41
happen is SpaceX could be like, yeah, we're going to wait till
14:44
Friday to do our testing then makes sense.
14:46
It makes sense. So they're suing the pants off
14:49
the FAA and SpaceX for this stuff.
14:51
But I think SpaceX is going to overall going to win out on this
14:55
one. So back to the four months
14:59
thing. Four months.
15:02
It took about four months to get from IFT 2 testing to IFT 2
15:06
flight. And I want you to take a look at
15:12
this too. There's on the SpaceX Twitter
15:14
feed or sorry X feed. December 20th, full duration
15:20
static fire with all six Raptors for the ship.
15:24
So ship 26 full duration, 6 Raptor engine and then slow
15:29
motion view of 6 engine static fire on the 20th.
15:35
Pretty cool. That's a couple days ago, that's
15:37
a week ago. So if we go by everything that
15:41
SpaceX is doing now, oh they also had a a single static fire
15:45
a couple days ago too. So this is another drone view on
15:47
the 20th of the static fire and then we have a couple of
15:51
screenshots of it And then December 29th we had this super
15:55
heavy 33 Raptor engines ahead of flight 3.
15:58
So when they did the 33 Raptor engine test for IFT 2, they said
16:06
that not all 33 engines fired. It was 31 engines fired during
16:13
that test. If that's any indication, the
16:16
SpaceX may be spending some more time testing and during IFT 2
16:21
compared to IFT 3, and they're testing those two engines or
16:24
doing a swap out or whatever. Then IFT 3 looks like it's like
16:28
they're figuring everything out at breakneck speeds.
16:31
Like ridiculous amount of speed that they do compared to any
16:35
other Space Flight company ever. If you watch the McGregor
16:39
streets, yeah, from like NASA Space Flight.
16:42
It's insane how many engines they test every day.
16:45
I think they do like 20 engine tests a day and every day
16:50
something new happens and something like something wild is
16:53
happening and all of those engines are going to go on to a
16:56
Starship. So that's it's unheard of that
17:01
they do that many Raptor engine tests.
17:03
So if something's happened to any of these engines they're
17:06
going to know about it in the next couple days, maybe they'll
17:10
probably know about it by the end of today to be honest with
17:13
you. And then all they have to do is
17:15
ship in a new engine if they or if they don't already have one
17:17
on in stock, I guess would be the best way to put it at the
17:20
production facility. If they, if they get to a point
17:23
where they can just look at all the systems, look at all the
17:26
plumbing. And there's another cool thing
17:28
that may happen to the ship, which we're going to talk about
17:30
other than the liquid transfer or the propellant transfer.
17:33
But there's another cool thing that we may see.
17:36
But I don't think it's going to happen.
17:37
But look it out there and it really is a thing that I don't
17:43
know, I don't think it's going to happen.
17:45
I really don't think it's going to happen.
17:46
But it'd be really cool if it did.
17:48
But if they fired all 33 Raptor engines on a booster and
17:52
everything was fine, they just have to, like, make sure
17:56
everything's tight, check out all the systems real quick, do a
17:59
quick like, scrub, and then move it back to the launch site.
18:06
Stack it up, Let's go. But the ship, on the other hand,
18:10
this thing, this thing right here, this is a interesting
18:16
thing. Let's see if we can find a shot
18:18
of it. I don't know if they have a shot
18:19
of it. Yeah.
18:20
August 28th. No, this August 25th.
18:22
Yeah, that's back there. I was trying to find a good shot
18:25
of it from their X account, but there's some spot on the ship.
18:31
But they may load Starlink satellites in there, but I don't
18:36
think they're going to. Let me know in the comments or
18:39
the chat if you think they're gonna do a Starlink load into
18:45
this. And if they do a Starlink load,
18:48
will they do a Starlink load and try to propel them out into
18:51
space if they get up there just to kind of woo us all?
18:54
Or will they just leave them in there as a as a test to see if
18:59
they can actually carry Starlinks and it's not going to
19:02
mess up the telemetry and a trajectory of the rocket?
19:06
And if they can, because that's that's how they're gonna make
19:08
their money, they're gonna shoot hundreds of these Starlink
19:10
satellites off at once within the Starship.
19:13
So with their PES dispenser program, and if they can do
19:17
that, they can, if they can figure that out early IFT 5, if
19:21
even if it's IFT 5, they could continue working through the
19:25
NASA stuff alongside the Starlink stuff.
19:28
So if everything's nominal and they're in space and they get
19:34
past stage separation and everything's good, nothing blew
19:37
up. And the booster's back in the
19:39
Gulf of Mexico and they do have a Starlink or two like station
19:43
positioned in the ship. Could they just hit the button
19:46
and launch it out into space and just see what happens to see if
19:49
it works we would have to. So what we would get is we would
19:53
have some information about that probably SpaceX launching an FCC
19:58
approved Starlink satellite from an FCC approved Starship.
20:04
So I haven't seen any documentation.
20:06
I've been checking the FCC, all everything.
20:08
I haven't seen anything that. Really shows that they're
20:11
positively going to test this out.
20:13
So at this point, it's all speculation.
20:17
We don't know if it's actually gonna happen.
20:19
Could they load it in and not launch it out?
20:21
Sure. Like a dummy?
20:22
Yeah. Like a weight, Like a starlink
20:24
that's that just doesn't transmit.
20:26
Yeah, sure, they could do that. And then they could.
20:29
If the ship actually makes it to Hawaii, then they don't have to
20:33
recover it, It's gonna sink anyway.
20:34
So they wouldn't really lose anything other than a test
20:38
starlink. Like just a dummy starlink or
20:41
few, two or three or whatever. But also why risk the NASA
20:45
mission with a starlink mission also?
20:50
So if they get the propellant transfer done, do one thing at a
20:54
time, get that taken care of. NASA is paying them billions of
20:59
dollars to build Starship. So why would they risk that with
21:04
a Starlink launch? It doesn't make a lot of sense.
21:07
SpaceX is risky in ways, but also they also know that they
21:11
have a big business to run, right?
21:13
Yeah. So it's going to be a, it's
21:15
going to be a wild kind of ride this time because unless we know
21:19
what's happening beforehand, if there's any FCC thing, any
21:22
documentation dropped before the launch, we're going to know.
21:25
But up until then, it's just people hoping and wishing for
21:29
this to happen because there's no, there's no documentation as
21:32
far as I know. Sentinel says, yeah, or just
21:34
simulate the deploy sequence without satellites, just to get
21:36
some data on their mechanism. Yeah, that would be great.
21:39
So simulate that. So the other thing about that, I
21:42
thought about that a little bit. The simulation would be, could
21:44
they go through the software without hardware attached, make
21:47
sure that the software works, which would be a huge step
21:50
forward. Also, could they do a fake
21:54
ejection? Could they open up the door just
21:57
to see if the door works in space?
21:59
Yeah, that would be perfect. But and then have the mechanism
22:03
move as well to kind of shoot them out into space, that would
22:06
be great too. But would they risk that much of
22:10
the mission in case it doesn't go right, if it gets stuck, if
22:15
it gets stuck out, like the mechanism gets stuck and then
22:18
they can't do the transfer, the propellant transfer, maybe it'll
22:21
be a two-part mission. Maybe the propellant transfer
22:23
will happen 1st. And they're like, oh, we
22:25
finished this mission. So our secondary mission, we're
22:29
gonna have whatever the booster landing is part of the mission.
22:32
That's part one, I guess stage separation, hot firing and then
22:37
we could have, then we could have booster landing, ship gets
22:40
the space, starts its orbital orbital fuel transfer, gets that
22:45
done and then maybe they can do the star like thing.
22:49
That might be a option. I don't know.
22:51
I think it, I think having extra things in the ship while it's
22:55
flying in space might be a little bit too much.
22:58
So I'm just like playing devil's advocate here.
23:01
I don't know. So these are just things that I
23:05
I can't sleep because I think of them.
23:07
I'll go to, I'll go to, I'll lay down to bed.
23:09
I'm like, Starlink's flying out of a Starship and I'm like, when
23:14
is that going to happen? I think it's too early, though.
23:15
I think it's too early. I think they're going to wait a
23:17
couple more flights for this because they do have to get
23:20
everything right within his next like six flights.
23:26
But if they can start making money with Starship, that's what
23:29
really matters, right? If they can start making way
23:32
more money with way more Starlinks almost immediately,
23:36
that would be fantastic. If even if they do 10 Starlink
23:39
transfer, that would be wild. Let's see, I can easily see them
23:42
loading dummy satellites and then test the PES mechanism
23:45
indoor system, why not? Yeah, that's true.
23:47
Yeah, Average Joe, I agree with you.
23:48
Like I see that like such a value that could bring to this
23:53
flight and a value that it can bring to the next flight.
23:56
Because if they can do that like a dummy set up this flight with
24:00
no FCC or anything involved and just let them burn up on their
24:03
way back in, that would be wonderful.
24:06
And then the next flight they can actually get real Starlinks,
24:09
they can talk to the FCC, they can get clearance and then they
24:12
can get these things out there. They can start launching
24:14
hundreds of satellites while they're doing all the other
24:18
testing or what, as long as they do it, as long as they do it
24:22
safely. And SpaceX is, of course, very
24:27
dramatic with their testing. They're like, not to be
24:31
dramatic, but like SpaceX is like totally dramatic with their
24:35
testing. They're just, they're way ahead
24:38
of the curve for everybody else. So of course, they're probably
24:42
going to try something a little bit this time and maybe they
24:46
might not tell anybody beforehand.
24:47
Maybe they'll be like, hey, we had some Starlinks in there, we
24:50
were just testing them. But more than likely the
24:53
communications team over at SpaceX are going to be like,
24:55
hey, we're doing these cool things, be part of it, which is
24:59
really great. So I think that's one of the
25:02
things that that SpaceX does really great is they involve us
25:04
all, which is really cool. So this December 29th, static
25:09
fire right here, this one, oh, that's really loud.
25:12
If this went off without a hitch, if that was perfect, then
25:17
it seems, and I'm speculating here, that they would have to do
25:22
some very minimal refurbishment if they need to and they would
25:26
have to basically check all the systems and then move the ship,
25:29
move the booster back to the launchpad and we have a whole
25:33
thing here. So that being said, the Highway
25:38
4 Rd. closures for January 3rd and January 4th, this is
25:42
probably going, these ones are probably going to be.
25:46
I got to Scroll down here a little bit so you can see it,
25:49
but these are probably going to be canceled.
25:51
So the 3rd and the 4th are probably not going to move
25:53
anything because they're alternate dates in the temporary
25:57
Rd. closure for Hwy. for January 2nd.
26:01
That's what happened today. Yeah.
26:03
So I don't think these next Rd. closures are going to actually
26:05
be anything. It might move the ship.
26:07
I'm not 100% sure. The ship might just sit there
26:08
too. Yeah.
26:09
So we're going to, we're going to see if that's a thing.
26:14
So we're going to check that out and if they start moving the
26:17
ship around a little bit, Michael Maxey, thank you so much
26:20
for letting me know about that because sometimes my audio
26:22
sounds good on my end and then YouTube picks it up and it's,
26:25
hey, what's going on. So we have a few things.
26:30
I have a checklist. I made this checklist and I
26:32
built it in code. So I have T3 flight.
26:35
They're going to be doing a ground systems and launchpad
26:38
inspection. So everything that like leads
26:41
into the like, pushes fuel into and cools down the ship and the
26:47
booster, they're going to have to do that for the next flight.
26:49
They're going to inspect the booster like we talked about,
26:51
inspect the ship, like we talked about ship 28, Starlink load,
26:55
maybe transport the ship back, yes, stack for fit, check
27:00
possible removal. If it doesn't fit right.
27:02
And some of the systems don't work, we've seen it happen
27:04
before and they are getting better at what they do.
27:07
So stack for the fit, check, and if it works, cool, Put it back
27:11
together. Then they're going to do a wet
27:13
dress rehearsal. After that, they'll load it all
27:15
up with all the propellant, all the cryogenics, get it ready for
27:19
flight, everything right until right before the 2nd that it
27:23
launches, and then don't hit the launch button and then they're
27:27
ready to go. Almost.
27:29
If they armed the flight termination system, they have to
27:32
do a launch ready review. I have T2 investigation approval
27:36
of course, because that has to be that has to happen due to the
27:40
FAA and then they have to have the final FAA flight approval
27:44
and then they have to go for launch at that point.
27:47
And that's when we all go crazy, that's when we all, that's when
27:50
we all get super pumped whether you go for launch, that's when I
27:53
get pumped up, I start doing laps, I start going crazy and
27:57
yeah that. So once they go for launch, it's
27:59
going to be, it's going to be a fever pitch again.
28:02
So it's going to start ramping up really fast at Starbase in
28:07
the next week or two. Things are going to go from zero
28:11
to 1,000,000 miles an hour as fast as humanly possible and
28:15
have everybody down there that needs to work on this thing.
28:18
And they're going to get it ready as soon as they can.
28:21
Because as far as I know, I don't know if they've rehashed
28:25
this with Texas or the FAA, but they only have five flights from
28:31
Starbase every year. And of course they can work with
28:34
the FAA to get them to get that fixed, to get it to bump it up.
28:38
But right now they only have 5. So if they can, they also have
28:42
to make sure that the FAA is like cool with these flights
28:46
too. Because if there's anything that
28:48
happens during these investigations that the FAA
28:51
would deem like extremely irresponsible, they would keep
28:55
it down at five flights per year and maybe lower it.
29:00
But if everything goes well, that's why these initial flights
29:03
are so important, because if they get these, right, that's
29:08
why I was talking about earlier. Don't risk it, man.
29:10
Don't risk it. These initial like five or six
29:12
flights of Starship are so important that they can go back
29:17
to the FAA and say, hey, I've been good, can I get some more
29:20
flights, please? Can we just get some more
29:22
flights and the FA will be like, yeah, you did really great these
29:24
first six flights. Yeah, OK, that's cool.
29:27
Let's give you 20 or let's give you 10 or whatever.
29:30
And of course, SpaceX needs 100 flights before they put people
29:34
in this thing. Artemis is coming up.
29:37
NASA is not very happy with the progress that SpaceX is making.
29:41
Like they're happy with it, but they're not 100% happy with it.
29:44
There's they're I forgot who was their director of human Space
29:48
Flight. Maybe that's it's NASA or I
29:52
can't remember who it was, but they went on the record and
29:55
said, hey, yeah, we, we're pulling for them, but they're
29:58
pretty. We thought it was going to be
29:59
further along because Elon said that too in his early talks.
30:02
He was like, we'll be on Mars by 2024, easy, easy, and we're
30:07
going to have people flying around the Earth like by 2020 or
30:10
what? Elon, of course it's Elon and he
30:12
talks about, he talks a big game sometimes, and I love the guy
30:15
for what he's done. But he does have a very
30:18
optimistic I'm going to be very nice to him, but he has a very
30:21
optimistic outlook on the future and his outlook is always before
30:26
the things actually happen. I would love to have had a ride
30:30
in the Starship by now when they announced it back in the day,
30:33
the BFG or whatever it was, what was it called?
30:35
The BFR? The BFR?
30:37
Well, it just looked like this massive weird rocket that looked
30:40
like like a like a colony ship almost from Battlestar
30:44
Galactica. So the yeah, the Starship is
30:48
it's coming along but 20252026 maybe Artemis, probably 2027
30:56
according to NASA. The Axiom space suits need to be
30:58
built still. Yeah, there's just, it's just a
31:00
lot like whenever a company says we can do something by X amount
31:05
of time, they're never right. I don't think anyone's ever
31:08
delivered on time in the Space Flight industry to be honest
31:11
with. They're always like, hey, yeah,
31:12
we can fly by 2010 and then by 2020 they're like, yeah, we need
31:17
another five years. SpaceX, of course, is not old
31:20
space. We know this.
31:21
So you give them a little bit of give them a little bit of
31:23
something because they working hard and they work fast.
31:26
They work really fast. Iterative design, like I did it
31:29
my whole life. I'm a web developer.
31:31
I know this stuff, front end developer, you work really fast,
31:35
things don't go well and then you fix them.
31:38
That's how it works. And that's what SpaceX does
31:40
compared to old space, which is somebody like Blue Origin who
31:42
builds the whole rocket and then they're like, we're done and
31:48
then we're just going to fly all these rockets all the time.
31:50
SpaceX is like, hey, we're done with our first one, it's going
31:53
to blow up. The second one's going to blow
31:55
up, third one probably going to blow up.
31:58
Fourth one, maybe he's going to blow up, I don't know.
32:00
But whenever it blows up, we're going to fix it for the next
32:03
one. So it's a really, it's a really
32:07
public way to launch a rocket like somebody like Blue Origin
32:13
shrouded in mystery. And they they don't mean to be.
32:16
It's just that they're working like they're in a giant
32:18
warehouse working on this rocket.
32:20
They don't have time to do tours.
32:23
They don't have a media team, Like why would they have a big
32:25
media team doing like watching somebody like crank a wrench,
32:30
even though that's cool. I totally get it.
32:33
I know why SpaceX does it, but SpaceX does do the media stuff
32:37
really well. But also there's YouTube
32:40
channels out there that are very interested in SpaceX because
32:43
it's really accessible. They didn't build Starship in a
32:46
factory, mainly because they didn't have a factory to build a
32:50
Starship in. They're just like, we're just
32:52
going to build this giant stainless steel thing and see
32:53
what, see what happens. And it worked out pretty well.
32:56
Like their engineers are amazing because it worked out well.
33:00
So, yeah, I think there's two different ways to do it.
33:03
And I think that the way the SpaceX is doing it, of course,
33:05
is my favorite way because I get to watch it and it's really
33:08
crazy. But there's other companies out
33:10
there that are doing it differently.
33:12
So I don't know, average Joe, thank you so much for the Super.
33:15
I really appreciate that. Man, ship needs some tile repair
33:18
and lifting point removal. Wonder if they will do that on
33:20
pad or reproduction site. No, I yeah, I think that's true.
33:24
Yeah. I think that the tile repair, of
33:25
course, is going to happen. I don't know exactly where
33:28
they're going to do it, but it doesn't seem like they're going
33:30
to move it, 'cause I don't know if they need to move it for that
33:34
'cause they have cranes and they have people, lifters.
33:37
I don't think they need to move it all the way back to the
33:39
production site. And if they do, it'll be
33:40
probably next week once they get the booster done with the
33:43
refurbishments and stuff. Yeah, great podcast.
33:45
Thanks, Edward Show, I appreciate that.
33:47
At the same time, though, the problem is that they only
33:49
granted the contract in 2021. It was way too late for 2024 or
33:53
2025 launch on a three. Yeah, I agree.
33:55
I doubt anyone else would be further like, yeah, I totally
33:58
agree with you on that one. Totally.
33:59
You got to wonder, will Starship Flight 3 be before Valentine's
34:03
Day? Andrew, Funny thing this
34:06
channel's anniversary is on Valentine's Day.
34:09
It was a podcast. So this.
34:12
There's a whole history behind this, and I've talked about it
34:15
before. This channel's four years old or
34:17
something like that. The show's four years old, so I
34:20
started a podcast with just a phone and some headphones in.
34:24
Four years ago, in 2019, February 14th, 2019, I went to
34:30
an observatory in the mountains of Pennsylvania and got
34:34
inspired. I was a I'm an amateur
34:37
astronomer. I've been doing this for a
34:38
really long time. I had this giant telescope that
34:41
I had trucked down to this observatory, and I spent the
34:44
night there. And when I was there, I was
34:46
like, the waters of the universe need to be shared.
34:50
So I started a podcast. I had no idea what I was doing,
34:52
and so I started it like an audio podcast.
34:54
I started talking about it and this it's the anniversary of
34:57
Valentine's Day is the anniversary of February 14th
34:59
every year. So hopefully everyone's here for
35:02
that. And if you're not here for that,
35:05
if you're not subscribed, please hit the sub button.
35:07
And also the like button really helps too, because that gets the
35:11
signal out to everybody else. But if you want to come back for
35:13
Valentine's Day, hit that subscribe button so we can hang
35:16
out together again. We can have these sort of
35:18
discussions. Every show says, I remember the
35:20
first iterations looked like dented cans of baked beans.
35:24
It was bad. Yeah, it was bad.
35:27
It was real bad. Hoppy was really cool.
35:29
Hoppy was the When I saw Hoppy fly for the first time, I was
35:36
stunned. Like I didn't know what to
35:39
think. I think I have a live stream of
35:41
it somewhere. I think I do like way back in
35:43
the archives. So yeah, check that out too.
35:47
I have an audio podcast with us too, so check out SpaceX News
35:50
Pod for the audio podcast. This'll go up on there too if
35:54
you want to listen to it later. So now Starbase is called
35:56
Gateway to Mars. I think it's going to still be
36:00
Starbase. It'll it's like the name of it
36:03
will be Starbase, the Gateway to Mars.
36:06
I think something like that. I think that would be cool.
36:09
But I think it'll always be Starbase though.
36:13
But I do. The new Gateway is the Mars sign
36:16
at Starbase. That's pretty sick.
36:18
Valentine's Day will be the IFT 3 post launch review.
36:21
Oh, that'll be cool. When you saw Hoppy, you cried.
36:25
I did Devs. I'm like all up in my feelings
36:27
with these things all the time. It's a thing that, like this has
36:31
always been a passionate endeavour for me.
36:34
And not just the channel, but Space Flight in general and
36:37
human exploration. It's just the wonder of like how
36:41
we do things that we do, like how people do the things that we
36:44
do. So I'm just blown away by so
36:48
much stuff. I don't even know what this tab
36:50
is. Oh, that's our shirts.
36:52
I was like, what is this? What is this?
36:54
Oh yeah, that's my shirt. Somebody you mentioned NC Davis,
36:56
I think you mentioned it earlier that you had it on.
36:58
Somebody had the shirt on. So I was like, if you want to go
37:00
check it out, starshipshirts.com, you can get
37:03
the same Raptor shirt 20% off right now.
37:06
We're doing like a end of the year, early 2024, blow out 20%
37:11
off sale, so many colors. Black we got Kelly, green we
37:15
got, red whatever you want. Pink we got if you want a pink.
37:19
And we ship everywhere, any color you want, any size you
37:24
want, up to four XI. Don't think we do 5X anymore.
37:26
Yeah, not available. So you do any color up to five
37:29
up to 4X and they get a little bit more expensive the bigger
37:32
you make the shirt. But that's just a thing that we
37:34
do. Then we have a Mars demos and
37:37
Phobos men's space T-shirt and that's really cool one too.
37:41
I got to get myself one of these because those that's just a cool
37:44
shirt too. Just looks neat.
37:46
So yeah, check it out, check it out.
37:49
We have a bunch of stuff. So yeah just check it out if you
37:52
can. If you have, if you want buy
37:54
something for a loved one or like for yourself if you want to
37:56
show support for the show too. It's just it helps us out
37:59
tremendously. Like all the Super chance, all
38:02
the Super stickers and like memberships to the channel.
38:05
Dude I don't even know how much how much that helps but it helps
38:11
so much. Like I I should say I can't even
38:13
express how much it helps for your with your support like that
38:18
we can do this because of you and our hottest selling shirt is
38:22
the shirt that I'm wearing actually which is this is a
38:24
women's shirt too. We have women's gear so we have
38:27
the women's version. We have the men's version.
38:29
We have hats the stage zero hat which is all black black out
38:32
black which is pretty sweet. And then we're also live on
38:35
Twitch. So if you want to watch on
38:36
Twitch go over to twitch.com/space news.
38:39
Bob, we don't have any like this is my first real stream on
38:41
Twitch. Just chilling over there we have
38:43
a lot of stuff yeah this is the this is another cool that Neil
38:47
Neil made these designs. Raptor.
38:50
Clever girl. You get it.
38:52
Jurassic Park and also Raptor Engines.
38:55
Pretty freaking sweet, dude. That's a great shirt.
38:58
What a smart dude. Neil is an awesome guy.
39:02
I love Neil to death and he'd make some really crazy design
39:05
like cool designs. So this is also a really fun
39:09
one, which I might grab one of those two.
39:11
So anyway, I don't want to make this all about like, selling
39:14
T-shirts because that's weird. You guys are right here to talk
39:17
about Starships. We're here to talk about
39:19
Starships. But El Hungaro, thank you so
39:21
much for the Super chat. So also every Tuesday and
39:24
Thursday, I'm gonna start doing these streams again because I
39:27
just love to do them. And I think it's fun to be with
39:29
you guys. I just think it's cool, man.
39:31
We can have a good conversation about this stuff and we can talk
39:34
about things. And we also have a poll in our
39:36
chat right now. When will Starship IFT 3 launch?
39:39
49% safe January. And then 41, say February.
39:44
Then there's some from March, 7 for March and 3% for April.
39:47
So I don't think it's going to launch in January.
39:52
I think they're going to think they have too much work to do
39:55
and they're they are getting faster, you know, like they're
39:59
getting faster what they do. So I think this will be the
40:01
first time that they get everything done in about a month
40:06
before a relaunch. But I think after this, like
40:10
they're not going to do any work on the plumbing or any sort of
40:13
ground systems other than things that absolutely need to be
40:15
fixed. But I don't think they're going
40:18
to upgrade anything or go tear down the old, the old tankers or
40:22
anything like that. Not yet.
40:24
They're going to continue to work on that stuff as they do
40:27
everything in concert. So while they're fixing the
40:30
booster, they could be fixing the ship, and while they're
40:34
fixing the ship, they could also be they're working with the FAA.
40:38
So all these things are working at the same time.
40:41
So if they do get a launch by the middle of January, like I
40:45
put a placeholder live stream for the middle of January
40:48
because there's a there is a possibility that they get done
40:52
in a few weeks. Of course that's like subject to
40:56
change as they say. So the any flight time it's like
41:01
anything can happen. I was talking to one of my
41:03
friends and if you're going to go to the Starship launch, when
41:07
they do announce it, just please take a second because it's going
41:11
to be, it's going to be possible delays might delay at a day or
41:16
two, so book your hotel and flights accordingly.
41:19
Because if they announce it for, if they announce it for January
41:23
15th, just in particular, they say, OK, 15th, we're going to
41:26
fly this thing, get down there on the 14th, get set up, get
41:30
ready for the flight, but also book your room for more days,
41:34
make a vacation out of it. If they say they're going to fly
41:36
on the 15th, expect them to possibly fly on the 17th or
41:40
18th. If you're going to fly down or
41:43
go down to Boca Chica and watch this, it's going to be, there's
41:48
a possibility it might take a couple extra days.
41:50
So just save up a little bit extra money and get the room for
41:52
a couple extra days. I don't know.
41:54
January seems it's optimistic and I'd like to be optimistic
41:59
about these things because I want it to launch so bad and I
42:05
wanted to just go, man, it's so fun.
42:07
Yeah, it's so fun when these things launch.
42:10
So I'm just, I'm ready for it to launch.
42:14
So I'm going to wind down the stream here for in a minute.
42:17
But I want to say I want to see if you guys have any ideas, like
42:19
when do you think it's going to launch for real?
42:21
Do you think it's going to launch like middle of January?
42:22
I think it's going to launch in February, because our poll says
42:25
most people say like half say January, 41% say February, 7%
42:31
say March, 4% say April. Do you think the FAA is just
42:35
gonna hold them up again 'cause that's a real possibility if
42:40
SpaceX sent them some information, which nobody knows
42:43
what happened. All the data that happened that
42:46
SpaceX sent the FAA, nobody knows what that is.
42:49
And SpaceX may be like, we did something pretty bad, but we can
42:54
fix it. So the FAA might be the choke
42:57
point here. Middle of February and start
43:00
travel the 29th says end of January.
43:01
New bro says that Phil says yes. Average show early to mid
43:05
February. Of course I'm guessing.
43:06
Yeah, we're all guessing at this point.
43:09
We're all guessing. But according to the data that
43:13
we had from from this static fire August 29th going all the
43:19
way up to the full flight in November so Starship stacked
43:25
September 30th team continues to work with the FAA on a launch
43:28
license September 30th. Yeah, it's gonna, it's gonna be
43:31
a wild like next couple weeks but I think it's gonna go so
43:36
fast. I think it's gonna go so fast.
43:39
People are gonna go into hyper mode at Starbase in the next
43:45
three to four days. I think this next week is gonna
43:48
show how fast if the booster moves back, there's no Rd.
43:52
closures. So there's no Rd. closures that
43:54
we know of because SpaceX doesn't really have.
43:57
They didn't really do all the physical checks for the booster
44:00
yet. They have to get it in the Bay,
44:01
which they've done today. But we don't have any more Rd.
44:05
closures until that. Was it like the January 2nd one
44:10
was the last Rd. closure. They have the January 3rd and
44:12
4th of course for the maybe temporary Rd. closure, but right
44:17
now it doesn't seem like they have an idea when they'll either
44:20
move the ship back or move the booster back to the thing or to
44:24
the pad. Yeah, I think.
44:25
I just think the next week is gonna be super crucial for
44:27
timelines and then we're gonna get to the first week by the
44:31
9th. So next Tuesday if they move the
44:36
booster back to the launchpad by next Tuesday.
44:41
Or we might be able to get a launch by like the 15th or 16th.
44:46
Because if the booster goes back and they did the Starship the
44:49
ship in concert with the booster being fixed or refurbished or
44:54
checked out or whatever, then they could stack it and get
44:58
ready, do a propellant test, do a full stack test, and then our
45:03
wet dress rehearsal. And then within a few days
45:05
flight termination system FAA comes through.
45:08
It's ramping up really fast. So if the booster goes back, we
45:14
know it's going to be real soon. So that being said, I don't
45:22
know, man, we have some, we have some time to think about this.
45:26
But Thursday, if there's any more information, stay tuned,
45:29
make sure to subscribe to the channel.
45:31
Of course, we have a couple new Subs today, so thank you for
45:33
that everybody. And also we have a
45:35
patreonpatreon.com/space News Pod you can join for as little
45:38
as a dollar per month, and you can join the Space Cadets, Cosmo
45:42
Crew, Galaxy Gang, or become a member on YouTube with this very
45:47
cool old video from my old studio where I used to get
45:51
attacked by Hornets and bats. Debs knows what's up for 2 bucks
45:55
a month to join the flight crew and then you can if you want to
45:58
help out more, 499 for the Cosmos crew and Galaxy gang for
46:02
10 bucks a month. But you get cool little badges
46:04
and some custom emojis and stuff, and I'm doing some more
46:07
emojis in the next few days so I can upgrade that stuff for you
46:10
too. We also have Space News Pod,
46:12
which is Space News pod.com which is our website.
46:15
You can get all the updated information about basically
46:19
stuff on this channel, but we'll SpaceX go public in 2024.
46:23
If you don't want to read that, the answer is probably not.
46:26
So there you go. I did a little spoiler, but you
46:29
can go hang out there and check that out.
46:30
We don't have any ads on the site yet.
46:31
So I'm just doing that as a free fun thing for people to check
46:35
out with For more information as a liner notes for everybody out
46:39
there. I'm not showing them on the
46:41
screen though. So there you go, space news pod
46:43
and there's we go, we got the members for YouTube and which is
46:47
look at that. Look at that hair, man.
46:49
Look at that hair. That's I'm like, what's going on
46:54
with that? Sick.
46:57
Yeah. A couple years ago, man, I was
46:58
being attacked by Hornets in that room.
47:00
It was insane. It was insane for this is like a
47:04
four year old video or something.
47:05
I got monetized like right away. And then they were like, hey,
47:09
make a membership video. And I was like, I don't know how
47:11
to do that. Then of course, our Patreon.
47:14
Yeah, Cosmos crew, Galaxy Gang and Space.
47:16
It just helps us continue, Helps me continue doing this to
47:19
continue to do this. And the merch, of course.
47:22
So yeah, thanks. I really do appreciate everybody
47:24
out there and all the Super chats and super stickers too.
47:27
We have a bunch of members. So all the members, thank you.
47:30
And everybody else who's just here chatting today and Seven
47:32
hanging out. Yeah, that's cool.
47:34
Thank you. Really.
47:35
I really do appreciate it. Phil says they hope they're
47:38
gonna look at everything because if this launch is not gonna be
47:41
successful, the 4th launch is going to be further when they
47:43
wanted or further away than wanted.
47:46
Yeah, I think so. I think I have T3.
47:49
If it goes real bad, really bad, then yeah, it could be another
47:57
four months. So who knows?
47:59
It could be a bad situation at some point where SpaceX and NASA
48:05
or SpaceX and the FAA are butting heads and figuring all
48:11
this stuff out because it's going to take a little while for
48:13
them to figure out all this stuff.
48:15
So that's another one of my favorite shirts.
48:18
I got to buy one of these. Enjoy space.
48:20
It's like a almost like almost Coca-Cola.
48:26
Yeah. If it goes really bad, it
48:27
doesn't make it off the pad ever.
48:28
Joe says What? Constantly.
48:29
It's really bad. Yeah.
48:30
If it doesn't make it off the pad, that's really bad.
48:33
So if something like that happens, yeah, Deb says too hot
48:39
in the apartment and blinded by the sun.
48:41
Yeah, the So there there is a stream of this somewhere like
48:49
way back in the day when I started the channel.
48:51
And this is just like a little side note from SpaceX.
48:53
But it is funny. I was live streaming to I think
48:57
it was one of my biggest audiences ever.
48:58
I think it was when a Russian booster was crashing back to
49:04
Earth and I had this window over here in my old place and there
49:11
was a hornet's nest in the window.
49:13
But they kept to themselves most the time.
49:14
And I didn't want to kill him or anything.
49:16
So like, they just hung out in the window and I was all sealed
49:21
off and stuff. And like, for some, it's like
49:23
somehow, like Hornets are scary to begin with because those
49:25
gonna sting you and it's gonna hurt.
49:28
But somehow one of them snuck into my room.
49:33
I started crawling on my window and like, you can see me in the
49:35
stream. Go what?
49:36
What's that? OK, And there's a Hornet over
49:39
there. I saw it and then it started
49:41
flying towards me and it started.
49:42
You'd see me ducking like during the show.
49:45
And I'm like just trying to keep my cool so I don't like.
49:48
And I didn't want to get stung because if he gets stung, like
49:50
in the neck, it's the worst. So I'm like, my neck's exposed
49:54
and my arms are exposed. I'm like so like the old studio
49:57
where I was at with when I was doing this thing, that's when I
50:00
got. I didn't get attacked by Wasps
50:02
or whatever or Hornets or whatever.
50:04
I but I was being like I was being checked out by them.
50:09
They're flying over my head and stuff all the time.
50:10
So I was like ducking and stuff. And I have ton of people
50:13
watching at that point, like hundreds of people, like
50:16
probably 1000 people at one point concurrent viewers.
50:19
And I'm like trying to keep my cool and talk to people about
50:21
it. The stream went on for hours and
50:23
hours because that was like a wild, wild time.
50:26
At one point you can see during the live stream that the Hornet
50:31
landed on my microphone and I'm like talking like mouth open
50:35
like this. And if the thing flies into my
50:37
mouth, I'm just, I'm done. Like what if a Hornet bites you
50:41
inside the mouth would be the worst or stings you inside the
50:44
mouth. That would be the worst thing
50:45
ever. How do you even like, how do you
50:48
go to the doctor and be like, yeah, I got stung in the mouth
50:51
by a Hornet. Yeah, so I figured that part
50:53
out, which is cool, but oh, there's a there's another thing
50:56
that I want to tell you guys. Yeah, so this is a big deal, but
51:00
I don't want to give away too much.
51:01
I don't want to divulge too much because it's not 100% done yet.
51:05
But there is a big change happening for way better,
51:12
possibly in the next month. So that's all I can say for the
51:17
much better, much, much better than what it is right now for
51:21
the channel and for me personally too, but for the
51:23
channel. So stay tuned for that.
51:25
I'll have more information about that in the members section of
51:29
the channel. So members only for a little bit
51:31
and then it'll be released to the public.
51:33
But there's a few things they have to finish up today to get
51:36
that all situated. And then I can divulge some more
51:39
information. Teaser.
51:41
Yeah, so some people know some people that are like OG
51:45
diehards. No, but I have to get it out
51:47
there in the public because it's going to be, it's got to be
51:50
cool. I think you'll be pretty stoked
51:52
because there will be more coverage from better places.
51:57
Not Starbase, just so you know, maybe Starbase at some point,
51:59
but other places that are near Florida.
52:05
That's all I could say. Will's moving back to Starbase
52:09
to squat in Hobby. Yeah, I'm going to live in
52:11
Hobby. Don't be hot.
52:13
The place is Hoppy's metal. I know what that is.
52:15
You'll become a Dallas Cowboys fan Will.
52:18
Oh, no, it's not Texas. No, it's not Texas, but it is
52:21
near other launches. That's all I can say.
52:25
So there's a possibility that might happen at just soon as
52:29
today, like just be finalized by as soon as the end of today.
52:33
So yeah, not Texas, but closer to the Gulf of Mexico and closer
52:42
to another place that we all love.
52:45
Launches coming from. That's all I can say.
52:47
That's it for now. OK.
52:48
Thanks, everybody. I'm out.
52:50
Greetings from Florida Will come on down, bro.
52:52
Yeah, I'm. I plan on going to Artemis 2.
52:56
I want to go to an Axiom mission.
52:58
I would love to go to a crew. Mission crew.
53:01
I don't even know what they're at now.
53:02
Cruise 8910, whatever they're at, but any sort of SpaceX
53:06
Falcon crew launch would be really cool.
53:08
Starlinks are cool too, but there's so many of them.
53:10
I guess you could just go to Vandenberg at some point and
53:12
just be like, I'm just going to hang out for a day and then
53:14
another Starlink launch is going to happen as well.
53:17
You could go to any place, pad 39, and be like, oh, SpaceX
53:21
probably get a launch today, see a cool rocket launch so you
53:24
could just show up. Yeah, that'd be cool.
53:27
Man, I would be pretty, pretty pumped to go back to Florida on
53:31
El Haguero. Was going to live on the ISS.
53:34
Closer to launches. Watches do go there, but
53:39
Florida's decent if you can handle the Crocs and tropical
53:41
environment. I don't mind the tropical
53:43
environment when I was in when I was at Starbase.
53:46
It's pretty tropical, like subtropical, very similar to
53:50
when I lived in Orlando, like I lived.
53:53
I used to live outside of Orlando when I was younger and I
53:57
loved it because it was really, it was nice and like warm and
53:59
stuff and I like that. I'm not like the best with heat,
54:03
but I can work on it. I can work well with it because
54:05
air conditioning, whatever. I'm from the Northeast, like
54:08
today, it's what, 28° or something here.
54:11
So it's going to be better than any sort of heat is better than
54:14
like 28°. Let me get that off there.
54:17
Let me get this off there. I guess it looks weird.
54:20
So yeah, some little bit more tropical would be cool.
54:24
So that's all I can say though. That's all I can say for now,
54:27
but I'll let the members know first and then Patreon members
54:30
and stuff too. So if you want to help out,
54:33
become a member, become Patreon member.
54:34
You get a little bit easy access to it, Early access.
54:37
And then, yeah, I'll let you guys know what's up because it
54:39
will happen soon. Just saying.
54:42
