0:01
I'm going to be talking a little bit about Starship SN 20.
0:05
We're going to be talking about the next ship, possibly coming
0:09
in. We're also going to be talking
0:13
about some Hello, everybody. We're going to be talking about
0:16
some Artemis stuff, some SLS stuff.
0:19
So I guess we should get right into it TGIF Jr.
0:22
Thank you, April 1st. No, Foolin today.
0:24
This is serious space business. That's my serious face said
0:32
enough. You guys know this but I'm very
0:35
serious person but the booster for ship 20.
0:41
Yeah ship 20. Not going to make it.
0:43
It's done. It's done.
0:45
We have to figure out what they're going to do with it
0:47
though. What's up, passing wind 5xl?
0:51
How you doing from Illinois, Jr. Mr. Nadra how you doing?
0:58
I like the background thanks passing button.
1:00
I appreciate that. Yeah, working hard on making
1:02
making some changes here and I have a green screen enough.
1:05
You see this? But my arm is chopped off and on
1:08
this side too. So I got it.
1:10
I figure that stuff out too. So try to upgrade the systems
1:15
try to do all this stuff and when we do these shows this more
1:19
casual it's more of a podcast setting.
1:22
I don't get like hard-hitting straight to the core news here
1:27
but like Mess around, have some fun.
1:29
I mean, Space and Science. Pretty serious, pretty important
1:33
stuff, but let's just talk like friends and hang out passing
1:38
with. Yeah, I know, right?
1:39
I wish this sort of like my real Studio.
1:40
I wish this were like actually behind me, but it's a green
1:43
screen. So so we're going to be talking
1:49
a little bit about ship 20, the amalgamation ship which is the
1:54
the Franken ship. We're going to be talking about
1:57
booster 7 which is At starbases launch site right now.
2:01
And I'm going to be heading down there later tonight to get more
2:03
footage of it or to get some footage of it.
2:05
Actually I have some from what is in the high Bay, but I
2:07
haven't been down there in a day, so I missed it yesterday.
2:12
Has some stuff to do last night when I was going to go down to
2:14
Starbase. But yeah, so I didn't get a
2:18
chance to go down last night but today, I'll make a trip down.
2:22
Get some footage of ship 24. You guys post it up on the
2:25
YouTube channel, so if you're not a subscriber so far, Sure to
2:28
subscribe and you'll get some raw footage of ship. 20 booster
2:33
7 booster for. We're going to I'm going to look
2:35
at the high Bay today to at some point.
2:37
So just stay tuned and make sure to subscribe to the channel
2:40
because that stuff's important. So let's just talk a little bit.
2:47
Let's talk a little bit about ship 20 and this is a little bit
2:51
older footage, so ship 20 booster for Booster for ship 20
2:57
decommissioned. We have to figure out what
2:59
they're going to be doing with them.
3:01
So a few tweets Ilan said that they may you know a while ago
3:07
actually Ilan said hey let's let's launch ship 20 in booster
3:11
for and then just recently said that we're not going to do that.
3:16
We're going to use another ship. We're going to use another
3:17
booster. We're not exactly sure if it's
3:20
going to be. You know what?
3:25
What ship It's got to be right. We have 24, we have shipped 24
3:28
and we have booster 7 so it would be 24/7, which would be
3:33
pretty awesome. Considering 420 was pretty cool
3:36
but if 24/7 to becomes the the ship and booster combo that
3:41
would be just as cool and I was surprised.
3:42
So check this out to I was very surprised by when they moved
3:48
booster seven out of the of the bay.
3:51
It doesn't have grid fins on it and I thought they would
3:55
possibly Install the grid friends before they moved it out
3:57
of the bay before they moved it down to the launch site but they
4:02
didn't. And I don't know if that means
4:05
there's going to be no grid fins on it or if they just haven't
4:08
put the grid fins on it yet, but it looks like there's areas for
4:12
the grid fins so I'm assuming they're going to put grid fins
4:15
on it, but you never know it's you know they could be doing the
4:19
whole, you know hey let's save some, save some money, you save
4:24
some time. Don't put the grid fins on
4:27
because we're just going to launch this thing into the Gulf.
4:29
There's a possibility of that. I think it's a slight
4:32
possibility but I also think there is a possibility that that
4:36
may happen. So ship 20 booster for let's
4:40
talk about that for a second. They may be going to this Rocket
4:43
Garden right here that you're seeing right next to me.
4:46
This is where ship 1516 booster 5 and the kind of ship 2221 mix.
4:56
Just down there right now. Those are all in the Rocket
4:59
Garden right now and ship 20 and booster for may be joining them
5:02
there. And we kind of touched on this
5:04
on the last episode of the show. But there's a possibility that
5:09
that's where they'll end up. They may also end up at South
5:12
Padre Island because Ilan said that would be cool or
5:15
Brownsville Airport. So let me know chat.
5:18
Hey, let's chat. Let me know where you think
5:20
they're going to end up because I want to know where you guys
5:22
think. What'd you guys think of this
5:23
because ship? T booster for Legends Legends of
5:28
the game here. And I don't know, I think I
5:34
think ship 20 is going to end up on top of booster for someplace
5:39
but I don't know how they would do it and he would be absolutely
5:43
massive wherever they do it. You know, could they do it at
5:46
the Rocket Garden? Mmm.
5:49
Probably. But I mean that's just a huge
5:54
lightning rod. The Care of, you know, like
5:57
that's just, that's just I think that'd be too much, but it would
6:01
be really neat. If they had a full stack shift,
6:03
20 booster for or a really cool idea.
6:06
Even though South Padre Island a jam works as end up on eBay so
6:12
they kept lay it down flat, right?
6:15
They could lay down flat somewhere and how cool would it
6:17
be? And I could to Brownsville
6:19
Airport a few times. How could it how cool would it
6:22
be if you got off your plane? And then the first thing you see
6:26
is a gigantic rocket as your legs at leaving the terminal as
6:30
you're leaving the area out to get your rental car or whatever
6:34
or get picked up or whatever your Uber and the first thing
6:37
you see is this gigantic gigantic rocket laying down and
6:42
you get to walk right next to it.
6:43
I mean right now they have a fin of a flap of which was it 11
6:48
ship 11. So I don't know if it's going to
6:51
be completely scrapped, but Elon has said that he wants Wants to
6:55
make it a publicly accessible, you know, rocket.
7:00
I guess for the further for the public to hang out.
7:03
So yeah, so let me see what chat has to say about this.
7:09
They're going to take beyond for its fins.
7:12
That's what I think. I think they're going to do that
7:14
too. So they have to get those fins
7:15
off there so take that back to the high Bay right?
7:18
So booster for here, take that back to the high Bay, take the
7:22
fins Off the Grid fins, they can reuse them.
7:24
I mean I haven't used Yep. So take those out.
7:26
Put them on the next booster. Booster seven maybe make you
7:32
fold down versions or maybe don't need for testing.
7:34
That's what I'm thinking Steven. I think they might not need them
7:37
for testing but we'll see you in the next.
7:39
Like I mean there's road closures one as its road
7:42
closures. The next today was canceled
7:45
Monday and Tuesday. There's some campus some
7:47
scheduled closures so get the gear booster for On the
7:54
transport back to the Bay, get the fins off in then put them
8:00
have the transport, the fence, back to the launch site or they
8:02
could prompt maybe even do it at right at the launch said I'm not
8:04
sure. So they might not have the
8:06
capabilities but we'll see so, yeah, we'll see, we'll see
8:12
what's up with that. We'll see if, if they use those
8:16
funds are not for the future, so booster for ship 20, I'm
8:21
thinking they're going to put him somewhere.
8:22
Is a As a destination, you know what I'm saying?
8:26
Deb's, thank you so much for that.
8:28
Super Chat. Appreciate that man, by Brink.
8:30
What's up, how you doing, buddy? Happy Cappy.
8:33
How you doing? Looks like they have enough
8:35
ships to go around. So I say, airport and SPI.
8:38
Yeah, they have a lot of ships at the Rocket Garden.
8:40
Deb's. Thank you for the two dollar,
8:41
Super Chat, appreciate that. For sure, that gets me gas money
8:46
to get down to two. What's a place called?
8:50
Oh yeah, Starbase it's 20 miles away from me, so not too far.
8:53
Get down to Starbase because of your guys, all of your help.
8:57
So, thank you so much for that. I appreciate that.
9:01
Thanks for being part of the show for so long, and being a
9:04
supporter of the show for so long it, I do appreciate you for
9:07
sure. Now, let's see, they could turn
9:11
it into a walkthrough on its side.
9:13
Jeff Francis. I agree with that.
9:14
I think that would be really cool because the Rocket Garden
9:17
at Kennedy Space Center. Like there's rockets that you
9:20
can in in Houston to I believe, I think there's one in Houston.
9:23
No. Yeah, that you can just walk by.
9:28
I had to think about that for a second but you can just walk
9:30
past them, right? And you can get really close,
9:32
you can get 10 feet away from this gigantic rocket ship 20,
9:36
booster for the biggest rocket ever assembled.
9:40
That's pretty cool. That's a cool neat thing to do
9:43
or considering Space. X is going to be building.
9:48
The next lunar lander. Starship lunar.
9:54
Maybe send ship 20 and For to NASA for their Rocket Garden.
9:59
How cool would that be? That would be really freaking
10:02
cool. I mean, it's it's not something
10:05
that's used, you know? But it is the show is brought to
10:09
you by backblaze. I use back place to back up my
10:12
podcast. My video files, all of my
10:14
writing stuff, and all my photos.
10:16
And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs and PCs for

10:28
data from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can
10:31
access the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
10:35
And this is a cool part. This is my favorite part.
10:37
You can restore it by mail, a hard drive will come to your
10:39
house with all your data shipped to your door.
10:42
I could come to your business to and you can restore return
10:45
refund program so you can buy a hard drive restore, send the
10:48
hard drive back within 30 days and get a full refund.
10:52
So basically they ship you this hard drive and then you ship it
10:55
back and you don't ever For it, which is the perfect program for
10:58
somebody who has huge files and you don't want to waste days and
11:02
days, downloading terabytes and teraflops of data.
11:05
And if you're worried about accidentally, deleting your
11:06
files to bucks extra month, you can increase your retention
11:10
history to one year, and I use it for all of my video.
11:13

11:17
dollars nine dollars a month and you get everything backed up.

12:17
heel on this it would be something that especially if
12:23
they if they figure it out in the next two years for the lunar
12:26
Landing, which they will. But if they, if they do that in
12:30
the, everything looks good. Send it off to the Rocket Garden
12:32
and NASA get people really pumped up about it because NASA
12:36
rocket Garden. Kennedy Space Center is like,
12:38
Disney for Rocket enthusiasts, and people who are just normal
12:42
people, that just want to see big Rockets.
12:44
So seeing something like a Starship laying down right next
12:48
to, you know, right next to the Apollo program Rockets, all the
12:53
other Rockets. Yeah.
12:56
It would be really cool if it wants it flies, though.
12:59
I think they have to put that as a disclaimer, I have to put that
13:03
as a, as a disclaimer, once it flies.
13:06
I think it would be important for SpaceX to do that.
13:09
I think that'd be really cool, but I think South Padre.
13:13
I'll keep it local here in Brownsville South Padre Island,
13:17
so Jeff. I think you're right there.
13:21
Stephen, Lewis says, should make a moon or Mars verse for people
13:24
to walk through. Oh, so like, walk through the
13:25
whole thing. NG like open up the nose and
13:29
have a Halo. Is that what you're saying?
13:31
Because I would be cool like walked straight through it all
13:33
the way down to the engines and then like you can have a door at
13:37
the front and then kind of have all cut out of like all the
13:41
stuff that's in there with little labels on it.
13:44
I think that'd be pretty cool because it's big, I mean it's
13:47
it's big enough for people to be in so it's almost kind of like
13:51
the ISS like a like a mock-up of the ISS.
13:54
It's like that size is huge. For 20 minutes, together would
14:01
make a wonderful combination restaurant in dispensary passing
14:04
when nice. They have mock-up shuttle that
14:08
you can do that. That would be cool Jeff once
14:10
they make I think once they make the interior of a lunar
14:14
Starship, I think that's going to be really neat you know?
14:19
And then people can walk through that.
14:20
I think that would be really cool, even a regular Starship,
14:24
Maybe The Polaris missions coming up, you know maybe use
14:29
that Starship as the walkthrough that's going to be historic
14:32
that's going to be yeah for spaceflight.
14:35
That's a huge, huge thing. And I'm just kind of going
14:38
through this grinding, my gears here.
14:41
Let's try to figure out all the the the other things we could do
14:44
with this thing because you could lay it down into side,
14:46
people could walk through it. Could leave it as tall as
14:51
possible and make people in awe of it because I do have vertical
14:55
rockets at the Rocket Garden at Nasa and I think it would be
14:59
pretty neat too. Let's see here Loop that guy I
15:05
think it'd be pretty cool to to have it be as large as possible
15:12
you know. So so people can be in awe so
15:14
they can do what I do and like lose this hat every once in a
15:17
while. When I look up at it, But I
15:19
think that would be pretty neat. Jim Moore says SpaceX needs more
15:24
attention. Blue origin, gets attention by
15:26
but without SS test flight spacex's and getting much media
15:30
love lately. Yeah.
15:31
It's just us, you know, like it's just our hardcore
15:35
spaceflight fans that are really pumped about SpaceX and Starbase
15:38
and stuff like that. So I think having a little bit
15:42
more attention for the general public would be really neat and
15:45
people fly into Brownsville all the time to go South Padre
15:48
Island. So I think it would be neat to
15:51
have that thing is massive though.
15:54
I don't know where they put it, that's the other problem.
15:57
Where would they put a gigantic rocket?
15:59
It's 400 feet long. If they lay it down on its side,
16:03
400 feet long. South Padre, South Padre Island.
16:08
I don't think they even have the room for that 400 feet.
16:12
I mean that is big. That's big in South Padre Island
16:15
doesn't have enough room for what it already has.
16:18
I mean that's pretty packed over there and real estate over there
16:21
is kind of you know it's very diminishing Market.
16:25
There's not much room for anything and it's kind of its
16:29
kind of its own thing. It's kind of like a paradise you
16:31
know South Padre Island is kind of like a little Beach town you
16:34
know you get this beautiful island, you get the beautiful
16:37
water around you, you get all the sand and the surf and the
16:41
Sun and everything and then I don't think there's a place to
16:44
put this rocket South Padre Island but maybe I mean it's
16:51
just it's big that's all I'm trying to say.
16:54
It's huge. You need a lot of you need a lot
16:56
of space. 400 feet. That's a little over a football
17:02
field for us Americans, that's huge.
17:03
Yeah, it's huge. It's gigantic.
17:05
Like the thing is gigantic. It's so massive.
17:09
And in person, you see how big it actually is because I've seen
17:13
this thing up close. I've been like at the fence, you
17:16
know, and I've seen I've looked up at it and it's just gigantic,
17:22
man. Like, you don't really, I mean,
17:24
I don't really understand it still, and I've been here for
17:29
Seven months, something like that, six, seven months and I
17:32
still don't get it. It's not understand how big this
17:35
thing is, or how they can make something.
17:36
This big and make it a functional rocket.
17:39
You know what I'm saying? Like it just seems out of out of
17:42
like left field. I think it's crazy but it's
17:46
huge. A bed-and-breakfast would be
17:48
cool Jeff. Yeah I think that'd be cool.
17:50
Bob says that to strip to Starbase he put up a day or two
17:53
ago. It was awesome.
17:54
You did a great job. Thanks Bob.
17:55
Yeah, I did a video is just like Driving from Brownsville.
18:00
Basically put a GoPro in my car and commentated.
18:04
The whole thing from Brownsville talked for like, 30 minutes,
18:08
straight from Brownsville. All the way down to SpaceX is
18:11
Starbase launch site and then turned around and came back to
18:15
the to the production site. So check that out.
18:19
Make sure to subscribe to the channel.
18:21
You can check that video out to. We do these live shows every
18:23
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Usually at noon today was a
18:26
little bit late, sorry about that, but But also live shows
18:30
from Starbase. I have to get my connectivity
18:32
issues, taken care of for that. But I do get footage from
18:35
Starbase and continue to do updates like this with footage
18:39
that I get at Starbase and also the raw footage of post up on
18:42
the other page, two. So we're doing you know, we're
18:48
doing the Starbase tough. But Artemis is doing some stuff
18:55
over at Kennedy. Space Center, absolutely insane.
18:59
Stuff that they're doing happycabbie.
19:00
Thank you so much for the Super Chat.
19:03
Wow, $20, I have to run again. Thanks for the update and great
19:06
video with the right to Starbase.
19:08
Thank you so much, happy. I really appreciate that, man.
19:10
That is that's very helpful. Very helpful.
19:14
Everything I get from this show, literally everything I get goes
19:16
directly back into it and yeah. So thanks happy for the for the
19:22
support for the continued support and I'll continue to
19:25
support your obsession with Starbase through this channel,
19:31
I'm obsessed to. So I'm just making a make a
19:33
little funny about that but I will continue to do my job over
19:37
here and get you some more footage and keep you up to date
19:39
with what's going on down there. So thank you happy now.
19:44
Artemis program, you guys, I hope you've heard about this the
19:47
big orange rocket. Our newest program SpaceX has
19:51
their starship. NASA has the SLS.
19:55
You know, we have to, we have to A cut-off to the SLS in a second
20:03
here because the Artemis program, this thing is on track
20:06
to launch possibly before Starship.
20:10
Now you'll on wants to launch a Starship in May right now we
20:14
have to go through the Peña on one second.
20:19
Environmental stuff with the FAA for Starbase just to make sure
20:25
that SpaceX can launch a Starship from Boca Chica, Texas
20:31
now they do have some time left though.
20:33
Let me show you this SpaceX can't launch.
20:37
Until at least May. So April 29th, I believe 28th or
20:42
29th is the cutoff but as of today, This is going to be
20:47
adding the 21st, this one's going to be adding the 21st.
20:50
This will be ending the 28th. So The Endangered Species Act
20:56
consultation, the 21st section 106, review the 21st in them,
21:01
environmental assessment will be done on the 28th of April.
21:07
So we have a few more days left, 27 days left until the
21:10
environmental review is over environmental assessment is done
21:14
and Elon wants to launch a Starship.
21:16
And hopefully met right personally they have a lot of
21:21
stuff to do. I mean, it's April 1st right
21:23
now. Booster 7 doesn't have grid
21:26
fins, doesn't have engines, doesn't have all the internals
21:30
ready to go and it's going to take them a while to get that
21:33
stuff done. So probably the first week will
21:35
be getting everything in line. You know, moving booster for
21:40
out, moving shift, 20 way, getting all that stuff out of
21:43
the way putting together ship boost.
21:46
Seven, you know and then maybe it'll take two weeks for that.
21:50
I'm not sure. The last time they did engines,
21:52
they swapped engines. It only took a couple days, you
21:55
know. So it might take a little bit
21:57
less time now because they know what they're doing and they're
21:59
getting their systems properly done.
22:01
So it may be April May, you know, April 28th when they're
22:07
done, Ilan? May be like, well, let's get
22:09
this done, but I know how fast they worked on there.
22:11
I've been there a bunch of times hundreds of times.
22:15
And it seems like everything should go faster, you know?
22:18
Like it seems like everything should be okay and like, run
22:21
really smoothly, but you always have to take into consideration.
22:25
If one thing goes wrong, it could hold up production for
22:28
other things. So there's a possibility that we
22:31
don't launch the Starship in May, right?
22:33
So, Artemis could possibly be Starship.
22:36
So let's take a look at what's going on with Artemis right now.
22:39
So this is the what dress rehearsal and I'm just pulling
22:41
this information from NASA, because Because it's the best
22:46
source basically launch team is on track to begin the countdown.
22:49
And this is happening soon too by the way.
22:51
So five PM eastern time today called the station's is going to
22:56
be happening at Nasa at the, at the SLS launch pad and the
23:01
really concerned about whether basically lightning is what
23:04
they're going to be concerned about.
23:06
But right now, they're all go. I think they're what let's see
23:08
where we're at here. Completely predict favorable
23:11
weather conditions for taking on April 3rd.
23:13
So April 3rd, and a couple days. NASA will be taking up the SLS,
23:18
which is a gigantic gigantic rocket.
23:22
Look at this thing. I want to show you guys some of
23:23
this footage from NASA. This thing is absolutely massive
23:28
and it's beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful.
23:31
But they going to be taking it up on the third, but they have
23:33
some stuff to do in order to get to that point.
23:36
And I want to point that out today because I think the the
23:42
information that we get is just kind of like sparse with us.
23:45
So I just got to get it out there for you guys because I
23:47
think it's important. We know that SLS and also
23:50
Starship are important. Both are important.
23:52
What is super expensive? The SLS is super expensive but
23:58
the also the, you know, the Oh wow, thank you so much.
24:05
Jay are more. Yeah, the SLS is super expensive
24:09
but Starship is a thing to, I gotta head out to Great content.
24:13
Have to watch the replay, thanks for everything.
24:15
Thank you, Jammer. I appreciate that, man.
24:17
I really, really do it. Really means a lot to me when
24:20
you guys contribute to the show because it takes a lot to do
24:23
this. So really grateful and happy and
24:27
appreciative. So let's get back to this SLS
24:30
thing. Can we?
24:32
I love this. Like it.
24:34
It's you know it's it's a it's kind of a Franken rocket as
24:38
well, old Parts, new parts new systems that kind of look like
24:42
old systems, but it's also super important because we're going to
24:47
set up bases on the moon. Because of this, we're going to
24:50
possibly get people to Mars because of this, there's going
24:54
to be so much happening with the SLS in the next, you know, 10
25:01
years, 10 plus years, Which is going to it's like a
25:04
side-by-side thing, right? So like Starship is going to be
25:07
doing its thing, it's going to be supporting us LS.
25:10
LS is going to be supporting Starship.
25:12
NASA supporting Starship and SpaceX is supporting NASA.
25:17
So it's a thing. It's a it's a it's a community
25:20
thing. They're building this thing
25:22
together and it's going to be amazing.
25:23
Once it's all done. So the important thing is SLS is
25:28
on track right now with a sweat dress rehearsal.
25:31
They have a 20 weather because Strain stipulate.
25:34
There must be less than 20% chance lightning within 5
25:36
nautical miles. Like I said before, there were
25:38
concerned about lightning, find Monica miles of the pad during
25:41
the first hour of tanking. So on the third, that's when
25:45
taking begins meteorologist, is our meteorologists are also
25:47
predicting a 10% chance of winds greater than 23 knots.
25:50
On April 3rd. When taking begins, winds must
25:53
not be above 37, point 5 knots. That's pretty gnarly. 37 knots
25:59
is pretty gnarly and the temperature cannot be below. 41
26:02
degrees Fahrenheit. I'm pretty sure they don't have
26:06
to worry about the fahrenheit thing.
26:08
He just hits Florida, but, you know, weirder things have
26:12
happened since countdown to set that 5:00 p.m.
26:16
Eastern that's coming up in 20 minutes.
26:18
By the way, there's a channel. I'm going to link the channel at
26:21
the end of this video, for you guys to watch the tanking and
26:23
everything it will take hours. So You know, if you want to sit
26:29
there and watch it and like have it on the background, there's no
26:32
commentary nothing no audio. It's just a view of the Rock and
26:36
it's kind of cool. Actually, I was watching it all
26:38
day today. So here is the here is the
26:42
system run down here, what they're going to be doing prior
26:47
to call the station's. The Orion crew module hatch is
26:50
closed, so they get it already. And basically what a wet dress
26:53
rehearsal is, if you're not familiar, what dress rehearsal
26:56
is basically doing everything You have to do before a launch
27:02
in just not launching the rocket so they're doing everything they
27:06
can. It's basically the last dress
27:09
rehearsal before a big show like a big Broadway show, but you
27:13
just don't go out on stage. That's what this is.
27:16
The full wet dress. Rehearsal.
27:17
The Orion crew module hatch is closed.
27:21
It will be 37. Point 5 hours for Launch crew.
27:24
Access arm has retracted leak. Checks are completed on the The
27:28
Orion spacecraft in the launch, abort system is closed.
27:31
So 5:00 a.m. this is what's happening today, right here,
27:33
this section right here. This is what we're going to talk
27:36
about today. Launch Team arrives at their
27:38
stations, and the countdown begins L, 45, 40 minutes and
27:43
hours. So that's when people get there,
27:46
they arrived. They hang out, the talk, you
27:48
know, shake hands. Give high-fives be like, yeah,
27:51
we're going to do this. SLS going up into the air.
27:54
Going to fly this thing, not today.
27:56
Now, the next few days this is a Next, they'll fill the water
28:00
tank for the sound suppression system.
28:02
Oh, - 45 hours. So Rockets are really loud and
28:07
if there's no noise suppression super loud, so the sound
28:11
suppression system, sprays water, and all the sound gets
28:17
dispersed through that water kind of shakes, the water and
28:19
make sure that none of that sound kind of penetrates further
28:23
on, because it's a big rocket. Lots of power.
28:26
The Orion spacecraft is powered up.
28:28
Start may be powered earlier during the test too.
28:33
So if they see fit the, this thing can happen before this
28:38
time frame, the elf 41 hours, then they'll do it and they'll
28:42
power it up early. Yes, LS.
28:43
Core stage is powered up. All internal, all internal L.
28:47
Minus 35 hours. Final preparation for the rs.25
28:51
engines. Remember when I said some old
28:53
and some new rs.25 engines, same, same type of engine that
28:57
flew on the space shuttle. Rs.25 engines complete, L 30
29:01
hours, 30 minutes engines will not be fired during the test.
29:07
Yeah, yeah. That would be bad if it's a wet
29:09
dress rehearsal and they fire the engines, abort, abort abort,
29:12
get out of there side flame deflectors are moved into place.
29:16
So basically, instead of all the, the Flames going straight
29:21
down, they deflected off to the side.
29:23
It's a noise suppression system and it makes it a much more
29:27
enjoyable experience. It's for the Wildlife and for
29:29
the people nearby, then some other stuff happens on the third
29:34
And then there's yeah there's all sorts of this is a lot of
29:37
stuff to happen on the third, but this isn't a couple days
29:39
here, I won't go through the whole thing.
29:42
But on the third, the first thing that happens, we'll go
29:45
through the first thing and then we'll go through a few other
29:47
things. Down here, SLS interim,
29:51
cryogenic propulsion, stage icps is powered up, all
29:54
non-essential, Personnel, essential Personnel.
29:57
Leave the launch complex 39. Be L.
30:00
Minus 12 hours. Yeah.
30:04
That would be that's that's when it's go time.
30:07
April 3rd, 1:40 a.m. 140mm. This is going to take a long
30:12
time to do so 1:40 a.m., and then we're getting it to 11 a.m.
30:16
to 2 p.m. they have shifts to. So people don't just stay there
30:19
the whole time. So at about 2:45 p.m. all the
30:26
way up. So, 245 is when it starts or
30:28
239. Sorry, so this one gets super
30:33
exciting. 239 on the third. So that's in a few days with a,
30:38
is this something that's something?
30:40
Yeah, that sounds Sunday, Sunday, the third.
30:42
So pay attention to that, I'll send you the link after this is
30:45
all done and I'll set it up and chat, but it's really, really
30:50
cool. So Ryan, a cent pyrotechnics are
30:53
armed cool. Orion set to internal power T,
30:57
minus six, minutes core stage, LH to terminate replenish core
31:02
stage auxiliary power unit starts.
31:04
Corestates locks terminate replenish so you can be closed
31:07
by two. So you could, if we had a
31:09
photographer out there, they could actually watch this
31:11
happening from the beach. And there's a couple other spots
31:14
out there. If you have a big enough lens,
31:15
you can actually watch this all happening and also on that
31:18
stream that I'm going to show you.
31:20
Of course, the agent switches to internal power.
31:23
Icps enters, terminal countdown mode.
31:28
Terminate. Replenish ground launch
31:30
sequencer sense. Go for automated launch
31:32
sequence. So there's not a person.
31:34
So some people are kind of baffled by this, like, how do
31:37
they launch a thing? There's no person pushing a
31:39
button. I say that it's sort of a
31:42
throwback to the old days where there weren't computers, where
31:45
there was a person that pushed the button, like we're ready for
31:48
lunch, go go go. And then somebody literally
31:51
physically pushes a button. That doesn't happen anymore.
31:54
It's all controlled by computers internal computer systems
31:57
course, each flight computer to automated launch sequencer
32:00
T-minus 30 seconds. Ground launch sequencer manual.
32:03
Cut off. So they cut off everything, make
32:05
sure it doesn't fire, make sure it doesn't launch.
32:08
And then if they get a completely successful test, then
32:13
Artemis and the SLS. We'll be flying their first
32:18
mission in the next few months. So there's going to be an
32:22
impressive thing to happen. If anything goes wrong, they can
32:25
always terminate the the tests early and they can walk away,
32:30
and they can figure out what went wrong.
32:31
And it could take anywhere from hours to days to months, to fix
32:37
the things, right? So we all know how this goes and
32:41
it's nothing to do with anything other than engineering.
32:45
You know, something goes wrong. They have to they have to step
32:47
back. A hundred steps in order to get
32:49
forward one usually, that's usually how it goes.
32:52
It's like, step back. 10, move forward.
32:54
One, one of those kind of things.
32:56
It's possible that it could be something easy, a quick fix, but
32:59
it also could be something that takes them months to fix months
33:03
to even figure out. But they should know the systems
33:06
by now, you know, enough that they can kind of figure all this
33:11
stuff out in a reasonable amount of time because I've been
33:14
working on this thing for years. So They they're doing this thing
33:19
on the third. So Sunday, stay tuned for all
33:22
the information and if you can't catch it on Sunday because it is
33:25
a long long process. I'll have an update once it's
33:27
all done and let you know how it all went and see see if NASA
33:33
posts anything for the Artemis missions coming up and see if
33:37
they happen to post anything about the system's because it's
33:42
a beautiful rocket. Don't get me wrong, it's
33:44
classic, you know like stars. Ship is the future, but this is
33:48
like classic Masa. Like if you look at, if you look
33:52
at like a 1960s, NASA poster, you know, 1970s NASA poster, or
33:56
like this is the future, you know, one of those kind of
33:59
things like in the year 1999 NASA will have a moon rocket you
34:05
know, like what are those things?
34:08
This is this would be that so it's beautiful, it's a great.
34:12
It's a giant rocket. It's going to send people to the
34:16
moon and eventually to Mars and it's going to be great.
34:21
So by addressing are still coming up today in a couple
34:24
minutes actually eastern time. I think it's yeah eastern time
34:28
is an hour away. So 449 now and it is 10 11
34:34
minutes away. So I'm going to post this right
34:36
now for you guys. So you can go over there.
34:41
Take a look at it. But I'm going to bounce out of
34:44
here and let you guys go watch that.
34:47
So here is the link. Thanks everybody.
34:51
Thanks Jr. More thanks, happy Cappy.
34:53
Thanks Debs for all of your super chest today you made my
34:57
day, literally, I'm going to be heading down to Starbase and
35:02
doing some filming tonight, so I'll get that to you as soon as
35:05
I can. You help pay for some gas to get
35:09
down there. So thank you very much for that
35:11
and also Artemis, Stuff coming up on Sunday.
35:14
I'll do a post right when that happens, maybe it'll be a short.
35:17
I'm not sure we'll see shorts are okay.
35:20
You know, I got to know what you guys think about shorts on
35:21
YouTube, but I find myself scrolling through them really
35:25
fast, so we'll see if I do a shorter.
35:28
If I do a different sort, like a full full thing.
35:31
So we'll see it looks good. Everything looks good for Sunday
35:34
so hopefully we get of successful wet dress rehearsal
35:41
for Artemus. So thanks everybody.
35:44
Appreciate your time. I'm out of here.
35:46
I do have an ending screen and this ending screen helps to call
35:50
it. The people.
35:52
What's up? Ben C, Davis.
35:53
How you doing, what's up, Eric? This is the, these are the
35:55
people that help out the show. These are the people that are
35:59
members of the channel, they've joined the crew and they helped
36:04
out by becoming members and doing a monthly donation to The
36:13
channel. So thank you so much for that.
36:15
I push that button and now we're at the ending screen.
36:19
Thank you everybody. I will catch you next time on
36:24
Space news pod. Make sure to subscribe.
36:27
Give this a thumbs up, please very helpful and I will catch
36:31
you next time. Take care.
36:33
Bye bye. see you Debs
