Russia Threatens to Abandon US astronaut on Space Station and Starship News · Elon Musk Podcast

0:19
Hello everybody and welcome back to the space news pod.
0:26
My name is Will Walden. I am the host of the show today.
0:29
Hey everybody, we're just doing a live one today.
0:32
I thought it was a fun thing to do.
0:33
It's Friday. Might as well have some fun,
0:34
right? It's 311 2022 today.
0:39
So there's some stuff going on with the International Space
0:42
Station. And also Russia in also a NASA
0:46
astronaut and this it's kind of sketchy but also we shouldn't
0:53
worry too much okay. Because the International Space
0:57
Station is always been one of those places where nations from
1:01
you know from all over the place work together.
1:05
They live together for months on end sometimes and usually
1:10
everything works out pretty well.
1:12
But There was some stuff lately. What's up, Logan?
1:15
What's up, Michael recently, Russia has put out the feelers
1:22
and said possibly they're going to crash the space station into
1:27
the United States or other countries but not a to Russia
1:31
and that was just a couple of days ago.
1:32
We put that out And the consensus was they can't do it
1:39
because SpaceX would kind of jump in there and solve that
1:42
problem. So it's kind of a, it's kind of
1:46
a weird situation right now, the International, Space Station
1:48
because the tensions between Russia and the Ukraine.
1:50
But the scientists the engineers on board the space station all
1:55
seems to be okay with those people.
1:58
The people that are actually in space they seem to be working
2:02
together. Well they seem to be getting
2:04
along. Longwell and it's the
2:07
politicians down on the ground is the people on the ground that
2:10
are threatening to one deorbit the space station and to leave
2:16
an American astronaut on the International Space Station,
2:20
when a soyuz wood or when a when a capsule would come back down
2:24
to land on Earth. So there's an astronaut.
2:30
It is it like and I'm laughing because it's so Preposterous.
2:33
It's so. That somebody would say
2:36
something like this, this is a place of Peace.
2:40
You know, the International Space Station is a place of
2:42
peace, right? And I find it kind of kind of
2:46
silly for somebody to say that you know, Logan in chat log in
2:51
the Archer says, how's Texas treating, you start by Studio B
2:55
right now and I love this place. I'm about 25 miles away from
2:59
Starbase SpaceX headquarters down here and I absolutely love
3:02
going there knocking out Video photography, all that stuff down
3:07
there. And I'm super pumped about that.
3:09
I love it here. It's really cool.
3:13
Han says Russia threatens to abandon astronaut SpaceX.
3:16
Can just pick an astronaut up right in, theory, and Theory.
3:21
Yeah, yeah, a lot of. Yeah, in theory, SpaceX could do
3:26
that. Yeah, so it's it's a weird.
3:32
It's a weird situation on the spit and the International Space
3:34
Station right now but it's not too bad you know it is it's a
3:39
politicians that are doing this. It's not the astronauts the
3:42
astronauts aren't threatening each other it's the politicians
3:45
Russian politicians that are doing this.
3:49
Does Russia even have the overhead power to throw the ISS
3:51
down Han says, I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so.
3:57
Yeah, it was a couple days ago when they said they could make a
4:02
deorbit the space station because what they have now is
4:05
they have the capability to keep the station at orbit, boost it
4:08
up, put it in the right trajectory basically keep it up
4:11
there. And if they d-doc all that
4:12
stuff, it take all that stuff away.
4:15
SpaceX would just swoop in, you know, like like superheroes
4:18
basically the doc some in, there's a whole I have another
4:22
video about that on the channel. That's a whole other thing but
4:26
speaks this Come back in and fix it up.
4:29
It'll be fine. Same thing with this, if they
4:32
do, abandon an astronaut on the International Space Station,
4:35
which is absurd, which is like, I'm just laughing because I'm
4:38
thinking of how silly that is. How silly is that?
4:41
That they would even say that? They would leave an astronaut on
4:44
the space station is a threat. Like you know what, we're not
4:47
going to do this anymore. We're done with you.
4:50
U.s. we're going to leave your astronaut of the space station.
4:52
Say it like that but I mean it's going to be Little bit of if
4:57
they don't bring it back, it's going to be a little bit of a
4:59
logistical headache. This show is brought to you by
5:02
backblaze. I use back place to back up my
5:05
podcast. My video files, all of my
5:08
writing stuff, and all my photos.
5:10
And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs, and PCs for
5:13
just $7 a month. You can backup your own
5:16
documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
5:19
data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
5:23
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile.
5:26
To iOS Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
5:29
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail or
5:31
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
5:35
to your door. I could come to your business to
5:37
and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
5:40
hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
5:44
and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
5:47
hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
5:50
it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
5:53
You don't want to waste days and days, downloading GB and
5:57
teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
5:59
accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
6:02
can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
6:06
it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
6:09
So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
6:12
you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.

7:03
So go to back plays.com / heel on backblaze.com Ilan
7:09
backblaze.com Ilan. And people have to run around
7:15
and, you know, figure out another way.
7:17
But SpaceX has a falcon 9 and they have a crew dragon, and
7:21
it's not that big of a deal. They have food, they have, they
7:24
have all the supplies up there. They need to keep going.
7:27
It just can be a minor inconvenience if they actually
7:30
do this. So yeah, it's a pain more so
7:34
than anything gets basic. Save him DJ yeah, I think so.
7:41
Yeah, it's it's a it's a sticky situation.
7:45
It's a weird situation, but I think they'll figure it out if
7:48
that does actually happen. Jim, what's up?
7:51
How you doing? Could dragons you super draco's
7:55
and draco's to move the station Logan?
7:57
I believe so, yeah, there's a huge threat on Twitter and I
8:00
posted it up in the last video that just goes on and on and on,
8:04
I forgot the with a thread name is, but it's a really long
8:08
thread. So if you want to go back and
8:10
look at it, The last video that I posted, it has Putin's face on
8:13
the thumbnail so you'll see it but there's I go into a little
8:18
bit more depth about it and then you can follow that thread and
8:21
then go through there and they'll it shows you there's a
8:24
whole list of 30 things that need to happen in order for it
8:29
to have for all of it to work, but it's totally possible.
8:36
Yeah, it's it's kind of funny like in a very serious way.
8:41
It's just ridiculous what they're doing.
8:44
Let me get a little bit more about this Mark vandehei, he's a
8:50
NASA astronaut and supposedly in a few weeks.
8:54
It's going to limit land of Kazakhstan with two other
8:57
Russian cosmonauts and a Russian spacecraft.
9:00
And I'm looking through some of this data right now, trying to
9:03
figure out, you know, exactly what's going to be happening.
9:07
So there's as we know there's two sections, there's a Russian
9:09
section and United, it's United States orbital segment with the
9:15
Run by us astronauts and Russian astronauts.
9:20
And they work together. Very fine, most of the time but
9:25
it's dangerous. You know what if what if you
9:29
know there was enough food, what if there's not enough water?
9:32
What if there's not enough oxygen on the ISS for this
9:36
astronaut to come back? But there is so they're just
9:39
kind of like poking at the bear sort of Like sort of and Mark
9:43
vandehei is up there right now with other 10, other nine, other
9:46
people. I believe it.
9:47
I think that's how many people are in space right now.
9:49
I believe it's ten other people so let me see if that's true.
9:54
Want to make sure? That's right.
9:57
I think there's 10 people. Yeah, there's 10 people in space
10:01
right now here. Let's go through that actually
10:02
real quick. I want to show you guys that
10:04
there's 10 people in space right now.
10:06
This is a website called how many people are in space, right?
10:08
Now.com, very straightforward Commander, the spacers and tub.
10:15
I'm not going to even say the name.
10:16
I'm really bad at names. Mark vandehei Flight engineer
10:20
then it goes to their Wiki page and then kill the baron Matthias
10:25
Mauer Thomas Mara marshburn Raha Sherry Etc etc and Chinese
10:31
astronauts as well. How did and 47 days in space?
10:34
Could you imagine doing that 147 days in space?
10:40
Mark vandehei 336 days? I think that's a new record for
10:45
it. Sits close to a record.
10:46
I'm not sure if it'll be a record when it comes down or if
10:48
it's already a record but don't quote me on that because I not
10:53
100% sure so so please don't quote me on that one.
10:57
Yeah sometimes you know some They don't know everything.
11:00
I'm just going to be honest with you guys.
11:01
Sometimes they don't know everything.
11:05
So right now there are some, you know, there's the tensions up
11:09
there. And Russian cosmonauts us
11:15
astronauts, Etc up there, working and living together.
11:18
It's kind of like Camp. I've heard a lot of us,
11:22
astronauts, kind of say that it's like you go out to summer
11:26
camp, right? You have 100-plus days at summer
11:29
camp, you know, you go for three months or something like that
11:32
and you're away from home away from everything that you love
11:35
away from your dog, your kids, your cat, you know, your your
11:39
significant other, your home. And you have to like, kind of
11:42
camp out in the International Space Station, so you have to
11:44
work together in order for everything to make sense.
11:49
So in about 20, 20 U.S kind of stopped using Russian Rockets,
11:56
because SpaceX has a crew Dragon capsule.
11:59
Now they have the Falcon 9 and they can get International Space
12:04
Station astronauts from Earth to space pretty quickly.
12:09
I've watched a watch, the flight, the crew to flight and
12:13
it was absolutely marvelous. I thought it was great but the
12:19
The thing is sometimes they don't come down in the same ship
12:23
that they launched in and they might come down because they're
12:27
their time overlaps or something like that.
12:29
So come down with the other cosmonauts and Kazakhstan
12:34
instead of coming back to the cape or somewhere around
12:37
Florida. So Mark vandehei here we go.
12:41
I got a little bit information, holds the ongoing record for
12:44
longest space flight is set to end is 355 days.
12:48
Days in space in about three weeks, plan is for him to land
12:53
in Kazakhstan with two Russian cosmonauts on a Russian
12:56
spacecraft. I think it's just posturing
12:59
though. So I'll let me see what you guys
13:01
think in the in the chat. Do you think it's just posture
13:04
posturing where they're just kind of like beating their
13:06
chests and saying we're going to leave your astronaut up there or
13:10
do you think the really serious do you think they could actually
13:13
do this and like get away with it?
13:14
I don't think they could get away with it.
13:17
It will degrade their space. so this is a reading this article
13:22
from ABC seven New York, There's lot of sanctions going on right
13:27
now and that's why Russia is trying to do this.
13:32
They're trying to kind of push back for all the stuff that is
13:37
happening to them. All the sanctions that are
13:39
happening. They're kind of pushing back and
13:42
Astronaut vandehei. It's kind of stuck in the middle
13:45
of it. He is probably just like, wait
13:47
what? You know like what are they
13:49
talking about? This is leave me here, that's
13:50
weird. So Joe Biden announced New
13:55
sanctions, including cutting more than half of Russia's
13:58
high-tech Imports and he said it will degrade their Aerospace
14:01
industry including their space program so that on February 24th
14:06
of 2022, so crazy, so crazy. This is actually happening you
14:11
know that people are actually threatening this In Our
14:12
Lifetime. Also take a second, please hit
14:16
that subscribe button. We're going for an ID thousand
14:19
subscribers which will be crazy if we actually get to that by
14:23
June. Let's let's do it.
14:25
To be fun and we're getting, we're getting close or about 400
14:29
people away. So we're really close to 90,000,
14:32
absolutely insane if you ask me. So, Dimitri we're goes and head
14:42
of Russian space agency and is a close Ally of Vladimir.
14:47
Putin basically said he threatened to leave vandehei
14:52
behind in space and detach Russian segment of the space
14:56
station all together, just poof, it's gone.
14:59
How crazy is that? Like if you think about that
15:03
that sounds like kind of unhinged.
15:07
I don't know what you guys think about that.
15:10
And there's a few other people that have chimed.
15:12
In Scott, Kelly said, I was just in in Rage that he the
15:17
cosmonauts said that they were going to leave an American crew
15:19
member behind. I never thought I would ever
15:21
hear something so outrageous. Yeah, how crazy it is very
15:25
outrageous if you think about it, Hans been sub for really
15:29
long time. Yeah, awesome.
15:31
For a long time already. Very cool.
15:36
Very cool. Oh yeah.
15:37
We gotta we gotta we gotta get those subs up because I think
15:42
I'll be really fun to have 100,000 Subs on the channel, but
15:45
we're going about three years on that.
15:47
Absolutely insane. And Scott Kelly said, I've known
15:52
people at the Russian space agency, many of them for, well,
15:54
over two decades, I trust them. I've lived literally trusted
15:58
them with my life before. Who added that the US should
16:02
still prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
16:05
I agree with them. You know, something were to
16:06
happen if they were to leave the astronaut on the International
16:08
Space Station, they have to plan for it.
16:12
They wouldn't just go. Oh they're not going to do it.
16:14
And then the last second I'd be like oh we have to ship up more
16:17
supplies for the guy. They're going to wait you're
16:20
gonna wait it out there. Going to see what actually
16:21
happens but also in the meantime they're going to get all the
16:25
things in a row. We're going to get a flight
16:27
ready for him. Get a capsule ready may be able
16:30
to come down In another capsule. So we'll see what happens with
16:33
that in the future but there's got to be there's got to be a
16:37
plan in process right now. Happening to bring vandehei back
16:43
to us soil. It's a crazy crazy thought
16:50
actually and the the goal of the ISS is to explore and learn.
16:56
Right? So exploring Orbiting Earth but
17:01
also learning about deep space flight and also, you know,
17:05
making a life multiplanetary to. So the things that they learned
17:09
on the International Space Station, we can take to the Moon
17:12
can take the Mars could take any place else in the solar system
17:15
and that technology will move us forward and get us to other
17:19
places. So the ISS is a very important
17:22
tool for Humanity to move off of Earth and on to another planet,
17:27
which would be really, really lean eat in the future.
17:31
Scott Kelly said, I just hope people realize we want to keep
17:33
this partnership together because it is one of the few
17:36
things that unites all of humanity together.
17:38
And that's true, I think one of the biggest success success of
17:42
the International Space Station, is the international aspect of
17:44
giving us something to work on together, that makes us friends.
17:47
So, that's pretty much what happens on the ISS.
17:50
Like I said before, it's like summer camp, go to summer camp,
17:54
You're there for all summer, may be there for a month, I don't
17:57
know, maybe there for a couple weeks but while you're there you
18:00
don't have anybody that you're familiar with and you meet all
18:03
these new people from all over the place.
18:05
So I go into a whole new city or something like all these new
18:08
people and you have to make friends with them or in the, you
18:12
know, the space stations case, you're up there.
18:15
Like you can you're going 17,500 miles an hour like you're
18:19
flying, you're going so fast and it's so dangerous that you Have
18:24
to make friends with these people or something bad might
18:26
happen. So you got to make friends with
18:29
them, and that's kind of what's been happening this whole time
18:31
and there's other tensions that have happened in the past.
18:34
I remember in 80s, you know, we have the space station or we
18:39
have the space shuttle and we had all that stuff going on,
18:41
remember the tensions at that point, but I don't remember.
18:46
I was a little bit younger than pay too much attention to it at
18:49
that point, but it seems something similar like that is
18:53
happening. And It's cat.
18:54
It seems like the blowing smoke, you know?
18:56
If that's what you would like to call it, they're just kind of
19:00
going. Yeah.
19:02
Let's see what see what we can get away with.
19:04
So you know we have we have a bunch of people in orbit right
19:10
now. Here is Mark vandehei this is
19:12
from the NASA website. Colonel US, Army retired, NASA
19:16
astronaut. What's up Deb's?
19:17
Mark. Vandehei was selected by NASA
19:19
and 24. 2009 born in Virginia than raised New Jersey
19:23
Minnesota. It's all over the place.
19:24
This guy raises vandehei, read a Bachelor of Science, and physics
19:28
from st. John's University and a master
19:30
science and applied physics from Stanford smart, dude.
19:35
He was commissioned in the US Army through ROTC program and
19:39
served as a combat engineer became a professor of physics at
19:43
the United States Military Academy at West Point.
19:46
Very successful person outside of being an astronaut like this
19:50
is like top-tier person right here.
19:52
Vandehei is currently serving as flight.
19:53
Engineer aboard, the International Space Station for
19:56
exhibition, Expedition, 65 exhibition Expedition, 65.
20:02
So left, his wife down here, him at his wife.
20:05
Julia, the proud parents are two children.
20:06
He enjoys exercise, backpacking water sports and reading pretty
20:11
cool life parents, Thomason Mari Vanna, High reside, in
20:15
Chanhassen, I don't know how to say that Chanhassen Minnesota
20:18
somewhere in Minnesota very normal upbringing, but very
20:24
Elegant person. Here's another shot of Mark,
20:28
giving a talk speaks about us. I'm on board the International
20:31
Space Station. During a presentation to
20:33
students in 2018. Very interesting says guys a
20:39
pretty cool dude. Seems pretty cool.
20:42
So hopefully they figure all this stuff out and he's going to
20:46
be okay and I think if it's not OK if they do leave them up
20:50
there. SpaceX will step in and send a
20:56
dragon for him, you know, as much as as much as I don't want
21:02
this to happen. It's another reason why we have
21:05
SpaceX around another reason why we're not buying rides from
21:08
Russia anymore because they could literally.
21:11
Like, if we didn't have a back-up plan, if we didn't have
21:13
a lot of Muscovy didn't have space X.
21:15
We didn't have a crew Dragon so I can nine.
21:19
The guy would be stuck up there. You know, if that's the only way
21:23
down is the Russian Russian ship, the guy would be stuck up
21:28
there for a while until they figure it out, you know.
21:32
I don't know how long you'd be up there.
21:34
So yeah, it's a, it's a crazy crazy situation right now, but I
21:39
think it's going to be all right, so just hang tight.
21:42
I'm sure we're going to be all right.
21:44
Now something very cool. Okay, so we have a little bit of
21:49
SpaceX stuff going on too. Hey.
21:52
What's up, Clark? Clark, tacular.
21:54
That's such a, it's a, your name is so long now.
21:58
Joy, I don't know if I should call you Joy or Clark.
22:01
Tacular backyard Chronicles. Because either one's cool but
22:07
clarky would be would be quicker.
22:11
So we have with some space sections, just a little bit,
22:15
little bit speculation here, nothing really big SpaceX, a
22:21
Starbase and let's go over to the Starbase thing.
22:24
This is this is from Starbase Texas.
22:25
This is three. They have three ships there.
22:29
Now, 16:15 and Franken ship, as We like to call it twenty one,
22:34
twenty two, and then we have booster five, and then possibly
22:39
soon, because booster 7 is being finished in the high Bay right
22:44
now. Booster 7 may find its way to
22:48
this area. So how cool would it be to have
22:51
three rockets and two boosters right next to each other?
22:55
That would be really, really intense.
22:58
And I would love to be down there for that to happen.
23:00
And I'm working on figuring out exactly where I can do this.
23:03
So, part of that is because today's road closure better road
23:08
closure for today. But it was cancelled, we had
23:11
road closures for yesterday, was cancelled.
23:14
The ones the day before were canceled the weather outside.
23:18
I'm looking outside right now. I'm like a little bit little bit
23:23
that too bad. Have done some stuff if they
23:25
needed to. So might not be the whether it's
23:29
a little bit chilly, but not too bad but he's road closures,
23:33
Thursday and Friday canceled Monday.
23:35
Still scheduled 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. secondary date for all this
23:38
stuff in primary date, is Tuesday the 15th, the 16th and
23:46
17th. They're all from 10 a.m. to 10
23:48
p.m. So we have road closures pretty
23:53
much all next week. And hopefully they get to do
23:57
something with booster 7. They're probably going to move
24:03
it out of the way, probably going to be without of the high
24:06
Bay 2. To the Rocket Garden here, which
24:12
would be really neat. So I think that's going to be
24:14
happening next week. We'll see though, we'll see what
24:17
they do. But they have to store it
24:19
somewhere because they have to start building more boosters and
24:21
more Rockets. And the only way to do that is
24:23
to get them out of the way. So there's more room over here.
24:28
I might go down tonight and see how much room there is over
24:30
there, to be honest with you and see if there's anything in the
24:32
way over there that they have to move.
24:34
And then, if there is, I'll see if they see what kind of stuff
24:37
they have to move out of the way, because there's a bunch
24:39
Stuff over there, that just like a lot of, a lot of test stands,
24:43
a lot of old debris, kind of stuff like, pipes and stuff.
24:47
So, if there's enough room over by booster five, I'm trying to
24:50
figure this a booster five up there all goes behind it.
24:55
Okay, so booster 5 up there then maybe maybe they're going to
24:59
move booster 7 over there. But another cool thing that
25:03
happened is that booster this part I can't Really see.
25:10
This can't really see this up here, but the big mess of Pipes
25:18
behind booster for there, that's a cutie arm in part of that QD
25:22
arm was removed yesterday. I believe it was yesterday or
25:25
the day before. And I don't know what they're
25:29
going to be doing because people were saying that they're going
25:33
to be moving booster for off the pad recently and there was no
25:38
reason to think otherwise because they were testing the
25:41
lift arms. And there were testing the
25:43
points where booster for was going to be moved.
25:47
So not sure why they removed that piece of the QT arm.
25:51
But I'm going to do a little bit of CCS I kind of like
25:55
investigative reporting and figure it out.
25:57
What's going on down there? Because we have to figure out
26:00
what the heck is going on down there with Starship because we
26:04
want them to stack it up again. I would love for them to stack
26:07
up Starship again and it would be really amazing to see this
26:10
thing stacked or if they're going to be moving ship, 20 off
26:13
of there, out of that area and then move it to the Rocket
26:16
Garden. I might be a thing to, if they
26:18
have 12, our launch, or 12-hour road closures, they may be
26:22
moving ship 20. And booster for out of there,
26:25
moving booster 7 down. But they also have to remove all
26:29
the engines. Okay, so this is, this is a
26:31
tough thing. So if booster for and ship 20
26:35
are done with testing, you have to remove everything from from
26:39
ship 20 and from booster for and then put it on a new ship in a
26:43
new booster or they're going to be doing a full wet dress
26:48
rehearsal, which I think they're going to do.
26:49
I think is a good, do a full wet dress, rehearsal of booster for
26:52
and shipped 20 possibly next week and I think that's what
26:55
they were waiting on for this week because all the road
26:57
Posters for this week are done, they're all canceled.
27:00
But maybe next week we're going to get all the days.
27:04
They're going to be doing cryogenic tests and they will be
27:09
doing stack possibly. So those are things that may be
27:13
coming up in the next week. I don't want to speculate too
27:16
much on it because we're not exactly sure what's going on
27:18
down there right now? Because everything's been like
27:20
so weird. So possibly if they get it back
27:24
up enough to get the QT on fixed up and they have everything
27:27
ready. Then.
27:28
Yes. Possible or what else?
27:32
Do we have here? We got.
27:35
There is let me see here. Got to make sure I have all the
27:41
information here but I do believe booster for is in
27:47
testing. Yeah, and so it's, it's had a
27:49
bunch of tests already. And I was want to make sure I
27:53
have it, right? So I don't get you guys some
27:55
wrong information in a double checks that double check this.
28:00
So booster for the test campaign for booster.
28:05
For they've done five cryogenic test for booster for and they've
28:09
done for, I believe for Starship.
28:12
So let's see for the ship on top for ship 20.
28:15
Yeah. For cryogenic test for for for
28:17
ship 20. And then 54 booster for, so
28:23
they're almost neck and neck there.
28:24
So if they do another cryo test for ship 20, they'll be even
28:27
down five and five making sure that it's all even and then
28:31
maybe stack into a full crowd Test, full wet dress eventually.
28:36
I don't know, it's kind of up in the air because we don't know
28:39
exactly what they're working. I would we don't know what's
28:41
going on behind the scenes. We don't know what their test
28:43
schedules like but that might happen next week at some point.
28:51
So yeah, the it's a it's a it's all over the place down there
28:55
and that's why I love it because it's so unpredictable.
28:58
It's like our sports teams, right?
29:00
Like so SpaceX is like our sports team down at Starbase.
29:04
So that's why I love it, man. Launchpad.
29:12
The lunch pad and nice what well ISS do.
29:16
If Russia removes a propulsion stage then SpaceX will use what
29:25
they called cargo dragons. The booster up.
29:29
Yeah, so, so we'll see. We'll see what they do though.
29:32
That's as much as I know, and as much as as much as anybody else
29:36
kind of knows at this point and we kind of were kind of I think,
29:39
at that point to what, what would happen?
29:42
So, yeah, pretty cool. Pretty interesting to see what's
29:47
happening on the ISS. Pretty cool was happening on,
29:51
you know, well, not cool was happening on the ISS, but it's
29:55
pretty neat to be part of this sort of news cycle to see what
30:01
happens because this will set a precedent about what's going to
30:04
be happening in the future. So that's about it for me today,
30:08
guys. Do you have any questions or do
30:10
you want to talk about any SpaceX stuff?
30:12
Because I'm here for a little bit more, broadly about five
30:15
more minutes and I can say thanks to everybody by the way
30:19
and also check out Starship shirts.com, you probably seen it
30:22
in the chat if you're in the chair right now Starship
30:24
shirts.com if you're a space nerd or if you'd like SpaceX
30:28
SpaceX inspired t-shirts, we have five or six designs up
30:33
there right now we're working on more but it's safe, secure
30:36
worldwide shipping. So check that out, Starship
30:40
shirts.com. Those are, that's our merch
30:44
store helps out the channel. Every every shirt purchased will
30:50
allow me to a pay rent for this place and stay in Brownsville
30:55
and be get down to Starbase more.
31:00
So every shirt purchased, there you go.
31:02
Or if you remember the team or if you're a member of the
31:05
channel, make sure to, you know, A member of the channel helps
31:10
out for trips down to Starbase and also Super Chat.
31:14
Super sticker is stuff like that.
31:15
Really helps out with trips down to Starbase to get more footage
31:19
more films. So I could do more daily updates
31:22
to the channel. They said, Elon Musk works on
31:26
reboost or iess that he does not reveal everything.
31:28
What do you think? Yeah, I think I think that's
31:31
true. I think, I think he knows
31:33
exactly how it would work. And won't tell all the details
31:38
for sure. Any word on what is going on
31:42
with the EPA, not really. I mean, they're still going
31:46
through it. Let's see.
31:50
I'm going to see if I can get in there real quick and see if
31:57
they're see. How if there's any new news I
31:59
haven't seen anything recently and I haven't had an update from
32:01
them because I get email upgrade or updates and stuff.
32:05
So when something does happen right here well we can take a
32:11
look at it. Actually real quick if you want.
32:17
Then they can take a look ski. See if I can position this
32:20
properly. Oh, yeah, not bad.
32:22
There we go. All right.
32:24
See if we can position this and also look at it while we're
32:28
doing this. But yeah, that's a that's a
32:30
pretty important thing to. So, the EPA Basically it's an
32:36
environmental review and permitting for SpaceX to launch
32:40
Starship. So this is in progress, total
32:45
duration, eight months, 22 days for the entire Endangered
32:48
Species Act consultation. Today is up here.
32:52
Extension date, two months. But by the end of this month,
32:55
what is it? 17 days?
32:57
We should have an answer from the FAA.
33:01
So, we're about here. And the extension duration is
33:05
for the environmental assessment, the full
33:07
environmental assessment is till 327. 20 20 to 22 or complete.
33:12
The Endangered Species Act consultation and the
33:15
magnuson-stevens fishery cancer conservation and management act
33:19
section 305 essential fish. Habitat consultation, whoo,
33:22
that's a long one. Those are those two are
33:24
complete. So we're at least two out of the
33:27
way but we still have for, you know, to get done.
33:31
So there's this little bit more to But I have a feeling either,
33:35
they're going to push it back another month.
33:37
Then we're going to go into June for a launch a Starship or
33:40
SpaceX is just going to be like you know what we're good like we
33:45
would love to launch from from Starbase.
33:47
But you know what? We're going to move to Florida.
33:51
I think that's what's going to happen.
33:52
I don't think they're going to stay in Starbase forever because
33:55
if this environmental things going to kind of take all summer
33:58
long, but it's going to be like, whatever.
34:01
We're just going to build our Rockets here.
34:02
And then we're going to test Test them but we can't fly them
34:05
here. So we're going to move all
34:07
operations or most of the operations except for the real
34:10
crazy like experimental stuff to Brownsville like Brownsville is
34:14
going to be that place. And I think Florida and the Cape
34:17
is going to be their main Hub in the future.
34:23
Yeah. Kind of crazy.
34:27
Kind of crazy if that's you know that's where they're at right
34:30
now is that Brownsville and the Boca Chica area.
34:34
It's they brought in so much money.
34:35
So the thing is, I live here now I live here in Brownsville and I
34:42
see new housing complexes popping up.
34:45
I see apartment, buildings popping up.
34:47
I see beautiful homes popping up and I've only been here like six
34:52
months, you know, and six months goes by and I see all these
34:57
Changes. I mean, Highway for has been
34:58
repaved and it was just his junk driving down to Highway like
35:03
through Highway for it. Down to SpaceX.
35:05
It is garbage to garbage Road, it's cool.
35:10
It's a beautiful view, beautiful area but man like driving down
35:16
to SpaceX is just not that nice because there are some places
35:21
literally in the middle of the road.
35:23
There's a four foot wide by like two feet.
35:26
A long just hole in the road, it's a huge, huge hole in the
35:31
road and I've seen those things, get patched have seen them, get
35:34
fixed and they're like, the electric company is down there
35:38
or a contractor is down there and they're working on you know,
35:42
they're working on things that are going to be sustaining
35:47
Starbase in the future. You know, like a Starbase needs
35:49
electricity, they need high-end electricity and you know, their
35:53
SpaceX is employing, those people.
35:56
The do that work so I can see where Brownsville be like please
36:00
launch from here. Please keep this going because
36:04
the only way that they're not going to keep going is because
36:06
this environmental thing and they would they would ramp it up
36:10
so high. If this environment I think goes
36:12
through Ilan said it is talk that it looks like it's going to
36:15
go through but he's not 100% sure because you never know you
36:20
know you really never know what's going on.
36:22
So He's skeptical, but also pretty positive about it.
36:27
So I'm going to keep his keep his optimism and you know, can
36:32
hopefully, they stay here. Hopefully, they really do
36:34
because that would be really great for the, the people down
36:38
here in Brownsville and the government.
36:40
I mean, like they make a bunch of tax money from them.
36:44
So this place the income of Brownsville isn't that much?
36:49
You know it's not it's not the best place to live.
36:52
But it's not the worst place to live.
36:53
Are I work? I've lived for we way worse
36:56
places and I kind of like it here.
36:58
So, if SpaceX continues down this road continues down, this
37:03
path of building up Starbase and they're going to continue
37:06
building it. They might just not be able to
37:09
launch here for a while, but if they can launch from Starbase
37:15

38:15
Strawberries to. I guess, you know, that would
38:19
be. That'd be pretty interesting to
38:20
see the dynamic. Change.
38:22
Because if they have to move everything from here to there
38:25
and like, put everything on pause at the end of this month
38:28
because the environmental assessment isn't done.
38:32
And I have to figure out another way to get this done, but it's
38:36
going to move forward in Florida because they already have the
38:37
resources. They already have environmental
38:41
their environmental assessment went through over there.
38:43
So all they have to do is basically move operations over
38:45
there and they already know how to do it because they've done it
38:48
here. So all they have to do is
38:50
replicate the done here and this That's exactly what this place
38:53
is for. This place is for building
38:56
Pathfinders so they can move it to another place, which is
39:01
Florida for now and then possibly another place in the
39:04
future have a bunch of Starship launch areas so they can
39:08
continue building thousands of starships and send people to
39:11
Mars and Beyond and have a have a colony on Mars, which begin
39:16
saying. So that's what they're doing.
39:18
I mean like doing everything right there just waiting on
39:21
this. Mental assessment and thank you.
39:23
That was a great. Great question.
39:26
Yeah, that's a Janet that's really great question because
39:29
it's a big deal. If they don't get this done it's
39:32
done, you know it's done here, they're just kind of moving it
39:35
all the launches to to Florida. So yeah, it's kind of crazy.
39:42
This adding if Russia quidditch all broomsticks can resumed
39:46
relations problem is bun, they'll play well and Ice.
39:50
Very cool. Yeah.
39:51
The And stick thing was hilarious that was in the latest
39:55
SpaceX launch was hilarious but unfortunately the I gotta go
40:01
it's about 3:20 p.m. CST here.
40:05

Thanks everybody. I don't have like a really cool
40:43
ending screen. I think I'm going to keep it as
40:44
a not cool, ending screen for a little bit.
40:48
Check this out. It just says stream ending.
40:53
Take care everybody. Yeah, make sure to stay safe out
40:57
there and I'll talk to you next time.

Thanks, Eric, I appreciate all of you.
41:12
Thanks Joy. Thanks Debs Jerry, Jerry says an
41:16
opinion on the four billion dollar SLS.
41:18
Launch cost way too much money. It's all I'm going to say way
41:23
too much money. Pigs in Space.
41:31
Nice. All right.
41:32
Take care, everybody. I'll see you next time.
