Starbase Texas Move Updates + Starship News 🚀🚀 · Elon Musk Podcast

0:01
Good day everybody. Good afternoon.
0:07
Hope everyone's doing well. Welcome back to the space news
0:09
pod. This is a show about SpaceX NASA
0:13
space flight. I'm your host will Walden and we
0:17
are looking at booster 3 right now B3.
0:24
SpaceX is working with a, I think 500 employees right now.
0:30
Something like that. 500, Employees.
0:35
I think that's what they have near Brownsville this point.
0:41
That's what, that's what I've read in different places, few
0:43
different places. What's up, dude?
0:51
What's up Dan Thomas? Horlicks cetera.
0:58
Have I tried this in Thomas? That thing is heavy.
1:01
I've tried this, I tried it yesterday.
1:03
I did some test shots with it. The thing is heavy.
1:08
The thing is heavy. I expected to be heavy but I
1:12
also expected to be on a tripod a lot, but I went running
1:16
gunning with it and it's it's going to be a like I get a lift
1:20
some weights man, I think I'm just weak but his it's a heavy
1:23
lens for real. I got it, I got to keep it on a
1:26
tripod. And that's its main purpose is
1:30
to stay out of tripod and get the get the clean shots, you
1:35
know, but it's a great lens. So how tall is that booster and
1:42
will heal on fly get to the cape this booster right here no
1:46
they're not going to fly this one booster three.
1:50
They're not going to fly this booster but they are going to
1:54
stack a full stack of Starship. Hopefully, you know, by early
2:02
August like the between the fifth and the ninth.
2:07
Absolutely insane. Absolutely insane.
2:11
I don't even get it. Like, I really don't understand
2:15
how they're going so fast, but they have a bunch of employees
2:18
there. Right now they have a bunch of
2:19
people working on Starship and hopefully getting it stacked.
2:25
The the cool thing is, if they get it stacked, that's basically
2:30
going to be a fit test, right? So like they're going to,
2:33
they're going to do. The can do fit test, they're
2:37
going to make sure that everything fits right because
2:39
you can't do a static fire or anything like that, if the
2:43
things don't fit anyway. So they're basically going to
2:45
fit it together. Make sure it looks good.
2:48
Make sure everything works, right?
2:50
And that's going to be In about a week.
2:56
Maybe a week and a half. Look at this thing.
2:58
Fully stacked up. Starship 420 booster for
3:06
Starship 20 but the yeah it's going to be it's going to be
3:12
well they're going to make sure that everything lines up
3:13
everything works fine and I mean this thing's 400 feet tall so
3:20
they have to make sure that everything fits together well
3:28
and then from there they can work on the plumbing work on
3:30
everything else. Make sure everything works with
3:33
cryo test, static fires because they're going to have to static
3:36
fire. Booster and Starship to make
3:40
sure they both work because they don't want to fly this thing.
3:42
If they don't know that it's not going to work.
3:44
So Elon may also, you know, he said he wants to do a kind of an
3:49
update talk. So when they fit this booster,
3:54
when they fit booster for and SN 20 together, That would be the
4:02
perfect time. I would assume But you never
4:08
know. I mean, I have a tentative plan.
4:12
If anything's announced for a Starship talk, I have a
4:15
tentative plan to just like grabbed my camera and go You
4:25
know, how the crane will work, because how will it be able to
4:29
lift s20 when the end of the crane, isn't over the launch
4:33
Mount? I haven't really looked into
4:35
that too much Jack, unfortunately.
4:41
I'll look into that and get back to you, though.
4:45
Because that is a pretty big deal.
4:52
You want to see a booster sitting at the cape?
4:54
Yeah, that's going to happen. That will happen eventually.
4:55
But you know think about Starship is even though they're
5:01
working it like a Breakneck pace and they're working so fast and
5:07
like something like this hasn't really been seen.
5:10
Like the sort of development hasn't really been seen since
5:12
kind of the Apollo days and that was with Government funding and
5:16
like billions of taxpayer dollars and hundreds of
5:20
employees, you know, like thousands of people Hang on.
5:22
It SpaceX is working at you know a really really fast pace right
5:28
now. But like watching launching a
5:33
booster from here to the cape, which though it'll be really
5:36
cool. They still have to fly it over
5:40
people though. So they have to figure that one
5:42
out too. Because they're going to fly
5:46
this thing right over. If they go from Starbase and
5:49
then fly it over the cape, they're going to have to fly
5:51
over our land. Oh and I don't think they can do
5:54
that. I mean, we don't launch rockets
6:01
over people for a reason. And that's because it's super
6:05
dangerous. So flying, that's the ultimate
6:09
goal is to get it to the cape. Of course, but getting the right
6:14
trajectory, I mean they could launch it. you know, towards the
6:19
the south of Florida them swing up somehow, but man, Yeah,
6:25
that's what I'm thinking. What's going to happen?
6:26
Raziel is that they're going to fly it somewhere where there's
6:30
no people out in the ocean and then swing it back.
6:34
The shuttle re-entered over the US.
6:35
That's true too. Yeah, it's true.
6:39
I mean, I don't know though, man.
6:43
There was there was controls with the.
6:45
It was a plane at that point though, Jude, you know, so it's
6:49
a little bit different. But it's very it is similar.
6:54
Yeah, I see what you're saying. Because there were controller
7:02
like people in the cockpit, you know, there's people that can
7:05
control that thing. So we'll see what see what they
7:10
do. But flying a booster over, you
7:14
know, over Orlando like basically over Disney to get to
7:18
get to the cape, that's sketchy, it's super sketchy especially
7:22
when they have to fly it. You know, they're going to be
7:25
pretty close. like the cape and Disney, you know, in Orlando or
7:31
like, An hour away from each other with traffic, you know.
7:36
So it's a it's good. It's I think they're going to
7:41
swing it around. I think it was gonna happen when
7:43
they launch from the cape. I really do.
7:45
Think they're going to do it like south of Florida out the
7:49
ocean. Come back down from orbit.
7:52
Come back. Similar to a falcon 9.
7:55
You know. It would be sweet if that, if
8:00
they could fly it over land, but I don't know.
8:02
I think it might be think the regulations will stop them, at
8:05
some point, the FAA is going to be like, that sketchy.
8:18
Will they do a 3033 engine? Static fire test?
8:23
I don't know. I see that's all it's still up
8:26
in the air, but I am assuming they would they have to make
8:29
sure the plumbing works because if they don't, you know, if the
8:31
plumbing doesn't work before they launch, Then there's no
8:36
really like they're just can't launch.
8:38
So that's one thing the Elan. He actually tweeted about it.
8:44
What was this? Let's see.
8:53
We try to find this for you. He said the tough part was all
8:57
the plumbing. Will be the 29 boosters of
9:08
course, was this? Trying to find the Tweet.
9:20
But basically basically said, oh, there we go.
9:25
The Maze of secondary, plumbing. And wiring, as our greatest
9:27
concern Raptor version 2 is a major Improvement simplification
9:32
while also increasing thrust from 185 times 2 to 30 tons.
9:36
Long-term goal is engine cause blow a thousand dollars per ton
9:40
of thrust. so, the The feed system.
9:54
Um, I got this. Look, the show is brought to you
9:56
by backblaze, I use back place to backup my podcast, my video
10:00
files, all of my writing stuff and all my photos.
10:03
And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs and PCs for
10:06
just $7 a month. You can backup your own
10:09
documents photos videos. Drawings projects, all of your
10:13
data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
10:16
using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
10:19
to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is a Part.
10:23
This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail or
10:25
hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
10:28
to your door. It could come to your business
10:29
too and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
10:34
hard drive restore. Send the hard drive back within
10:36
30 days and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
10:40
hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
10:43
it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
10:47
You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
10:50
teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
10:52
About accidentally deleting your files to bucks extra month.
10:56
You can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
10:59
it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
11:02
So seven dollars plus $2. Nine dollars a month and you get
11:05
everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.

13:05
floors. It looks crazy.
13:07
I don't know if you guys have seen the feed system for this
13:08
thing, little it looks wild, so many tubes.
13:13
I love, I love the tubes, so there's a rumor going around
13:18
too. That nine days from Friday they
13:26
want. SpaceX to have a full.
13:33
Stack of booster Friday is today.
13:39
Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, so, on the
13:42
8th next Sunday. So around there.
13:46
So next Sunday possible Yeah, possible for a full stack.
14:00
I think that'd be crazy, man. I would love to go down there.
14:04
I would love to go down there and if I hear anything from from
14:09
anybody, about a possible talk, Then I will, you know, I will go
14:17
down, it'll be fun. That's the like that's the
14:20
that's the plan. I'm not sure how that will all
14:22
work out but I would love to go down for it.
14:26
Jump in my car, grab my camera, just go Looks like they'll do a
14:30
static fire before lifting to the launch table.
14:33
So those two stacking concrete basis are far.
14:36
Oh, that's a good idea actually. Trying to picture everything
14:49
from when I was there and I just recently saw that there's a
14:52
small Observatory. Do you think they'll ever do a
14:54
larger one with Public Access? Whoo.
14:59
I didn't know about the. Well, I know they're going to
15:05
have a public area. I know Alana's talked about this
15:07
in the past about having a place for people like bleachers and
15:12
seats and stuff for people to watch these launches and he
15:15
wants to make it like a thing like a sporting event kind of
15:18
thing. Like people can come and watch
15:19
it basically like NASA. But like on a much grander,
15:22
better scale like a cooler scale.
15:24
So That might be kind of cool. It might be kind of cool.
15:29
That's a that's a really good observation though.
15:32
Perpetual nerd thank you looking forward to you doing local
15:37
coverage. I can't wait.
15:38
And like I was just talking about this with one of my
15:41
friends last night and I'm so excited about it.
15:44
There's your Starship You get a Starship to get a landing.
15:49
Let's see how many we can fly. Let's say we got two flights
15:57
boosters coming back in. And a safe touchdown amazing.
16:07
Amazing. Thank you for that.
16:14
Thank you for that. Do the cosmic Journey, the
16:20
level. So I've only seen a falcon 9
16:23
launch and I was like six miles away from that in the Rumble
16:28
that that caused to my half-asleep.
16:31
Body was pretty awesome so I could even, I don't even
16:36
understand what is going to feel like, but I cannot wait beyond
16:40
for is going fast. Yeah, it's it's, it's crazy.
16:44
I saw some tiles to Geodon Ship 20, Dipper cracked.
16:52
I saw that earlier today on Reddit or so I think we see the
16:54
Reddit or Twitter or something but there were some cracked
16:57
tiles ship 20 and I was like man if they they don't really need
17:05
like right away they don't really need the Starship to to
17:08
do anything like this is just a test it doesn't really need to
17:11
function other than go to orbit come back.
17:15
And if it doesn't make it, it doesn't make it.
17:18
But I saw some cracked tiles on that thing and I got so
17:22
concerned that this thing isn't going to like completely like
17:26
all those tiles aren't going to make it and this of course, is a
17:29
test model. so, they're testing everything out there, trying to
17:33
fix everything before they launch this Neal.
17:38
Hello. Pretty hello.
17:43
New RGV aerial videos posted an hour ago.
17:49
Yeah, correct. I'll seem to be from the
17:51
installation process, that's what I saw to nail, and that's
17:55
what's kind of Kind of concerning to because there's
18:00
hundreds of tiles. You know, there's so many tiles
18:03
on that thing and if they're cracking during installation,
18:06
I'm sure they're going to check them out before they fly, but
18:09
it's still concerning that the tiles would crack during
18:11
installation, you know, and they're still figuring out the
18:13
process of all that stuff too. So you know, it's it was just
18:18
concerning to me that you know, the the tiles are Kind of wonky.
18:25
You know, there's this little bit wonky.
18:26
That was it's not like a huge deal.
18:30
Uh-huh. Thomas, that is a sweet tweet.
18:35
The GAO denies blue origin. A Dianetics protest of NASA
18:39
awarding. The human Landing system
18:41
contract as SpaceX. GAO GAO, concludes that.
18:46
NASA did not violate procurement law or regulation when it
18:50
decided to make only one award. There was no requirement for
18:53
NASA to engage in discussions amend or cancel the announcement
18:57
as a result of the amount of funding available.
19:00
For the program, GAO says NASA's evaluation of all three
19:04
proposals, were reasonable and consistent with applicable,
19:07
procurement law. Regulation in the announcements
19:10
terms. Oh damn.
19:15
That is. That's good news, that's good
19:19
news. No matter what, you know,
19:22
they're they're contesting, it was, that's what they do, right?
19:25
So like big Big companies, even SpaceX has done it to the Past
19:30
launches. I've met at the top of my head,
19:32
I can't remember which ones they were, but I believe they're a
19:34
DOD, couple DOD ones that they, they protested and they got
19:39
their way because they said it was unfair.
19:42
And now, you know, blue origin Dianetics?
19:45
Same thing. They're doing the same thing.
19:47
They were like, we feel like you didn't give us a fair shot and
19:50
they went to the GAO and the ga ga o-- denies blue origin and
19:55
Dianetics protest for the Human Landing system, who Moon
20:00
Starship. Moon Starship that's gonna be
20:06
sweet. I cannot wait.
20:11
I can't wait for like I just can't wait for a Starship
20:15
launch. It's gonna be crazy.
20:20
So I also want to address one other thing that I didn't
20:22
address in my last video the moving Starbase update video.
20:28
So there we have stretch goals now for the GoFundMe and we're
20:31
literally almost there like literally our stretch goal is
20:37
8,500 dollars. And the initial goal was like,
20:43
5,000. Stretch goals.
20:46
Going forward are getting new camera.
20:50
Get a new body for the camera. Looking at a black magic. 6K
20:56
Pro. That'll be a, that's a whole
21:01
other video but I just want to address it now because there's
21:06
there's a few you know there's a couple comments and stuff and
21:08
some people tweeted me like, hey, you should get this instead
21:10
and you know, gave me some some advice and I really do
21:15
appreciate all the advice and I've talked to a couple
21:19
filmmakers and they've told me certain things that the camera
21:23
can do and can't do. And I'm like, I'm still, I'm
21:29
still piecing it together, you know, 6K probie great amazing
21:35
image quality. Of course, cinematic image
21:38
quality. Could you imagine watching a
21:40
Starship launch in 6K? Like that would be ridiculous.
21:47
Also my if, if I do have a 6K camera in my normal camera here,
21:54
then of course, I'll use both cameras my M50 that I have.
21:58
Now I'll use that camera. Plus the Blackmagic camera.
22:04
Dual camera set up, switching views, Etc.
22:10
But the black magic would be more for recording and
22:14
streaming. So recording editing it together
22:18
or releasing raw footage, which would be really great to just
22:21
like hours of raw footage even though that's a huge amount of
22:26
huge amount of hard drive space, but totally worth it in the end.
22:31
I want to document this thing and I want to do it as best as I
22:34
can and there are a bunch of cameras out there that can do
22:37
similar things. some of them are, you know, You know
22:47
somewhere like a thousand dollars, more Sony, a7s 3 and
22:52
that cameras. Great full frame.
22:55
It looks great. Everybody recommends.
22:57
It looks good. But my 50 can do a lot to Deb's.
23:05
Thank you so much for your little bit set up bean.
23:09
I don't know. Is that a pair?
23:10
I don't know what that guy is but he looks.
23:13
He's a cute little heart man. So thank you devs.
23:16
So I just want to put that, you know, put that kind of like in
23:20
perspective that I'll still be there talking in front of the
23:23
camera. I won't be in front of the
23:25
camera all the time, but I'll be in front of the camera.
23:28
It also filming Me. So yeah.
23:31
Just like hanging out like this but it said of being like at my
23:34
studio. Now I'll be at the at the place,
23:37
you know, a Starbase So yeah, so I just want to want to address
23:43
that. Wait, is your thing still
23:50
launching? Oh, Dave's is the logic.
23:52
I was like, wait a second. I saw that moving.
23:54
There's, you get so many Starships.
23:58
There you go. That would just went off the
24:01
week and a little land. Go Deb's, you deserve so many
24:06
Starships for all your continued support, just like just chilling
24:11
hanging out. Pestering me, pestering me on,
24:17
Twitch, the studio will Overlook Starbase know.
24:20
I'm going to be a man on the street kind of thing.
24:23
Our next video is in Brownsville.
24:25
So we'll have a similar Studio to what I have here.
24:27
But moving this studio stuff to Brownsville but also like I'll
24:32
be on scene. Like I'll be on the side of the
24:34
road, like, filming everything. So Yeah, Starbase Studios.
24:39
It's going to be a studio studio but also, you know, I'm going to
24:43
be there. So the idea is going to be
24:46
crazy, it's going to be cool, it's got to be hot, but it's
24:50
going to be fun. If you never, if you've never
24:56
checked out ocean cam, make sure to check out ocean Camp.
25:01
He's basically doing. He's doing something similar to
25:03
what I want to do to it is doing a great job so check him out.
25:07
Paul's awesome. Can't wait to meet that guy.
25:15
I'm super pumped for it. Studio Boomerang.
25:23
What should we call the next Studio because it'll be it'll be
25:27
in Brownsville. It'll be You know, it'll be near
25:33
Starbase. Starbase Studio B.
25:36
I don't know that it has been calling a Starbase Studio B
25:38
because I can't think of anything better.
25:51
Mr. Mothy, yeah, we get, we're getting all sorts of fun stuff.
25:55
I really wish I was there like I'm I'm like I'm like, man, I
26:03
need an oil change so bad, not really so bad.
26:08
I just need an oil change and then I could go.
26:13
But also we don't know what's going to happen.
26:16
But a full like being there to witness a fully stack.
26:19
Starship would make me bawl my eyes out.
26:22
It's also a two-day trip. It's more economical to drive
26:26
there. so yeah I mean we'll see what happens in the next week or
26:33
so I'm going to get an oil change on Monday just in case
26:36
Monday or Tuesday just in case but You know, we'll see, we'll
26:43
see what happens if it's going to full stack and it's going to
26:46
end, there's going to be a talk, then I'll really consider it.
26:56
P3 is done, not sure if they'll move it back to the build site
27:00
or tear it apart where it stands, what if they put it next
27:02
to the other Starship prototypes?
27:06
And have it sort of like, part of a museum.
27:10
I mean it's basically a tube but it's also a giant tube.
27:19
There was a post on Twitter and like so another part of this
27:24
like me going to Starbase I don't want to make this all
27:27
about me but I'm going to like there's a lot of stuff that I'm
27:33
going to have to figure out when I get there.
27:35
Like the the kind of coverage that I'm going to do is man on
27:38
the street talking head. You know being at the build site
27:45
But also doing like double duty, like filming with the secondary
27:50
camera, too. So I don't know everything
27:56
that's down there yet. I haven't been there yet.
27:58
That's another thing. Like I'm going to learn a lot
28:00
just by going there. So going there early You know,
28:06
figuring stuff out now and then when I, when I actually moved
28:09
there, which is September rate, that's my movement date.
28:12
So I'll have a road trip. I'm going to do like a road trip
28:15
kind of foggy kind of thing about the trip there.
28:19
And when I get there I'll know some stuff you know it'll be
28:24
nice and we'll just go to a blind to be like here's my
28:26
camera gear guys and just like plop down Studio Browntown.
28:32
Oh my God. Wants to make it fully stacked
28:36
Starship as soon as possible yet by the fifth possibly, but
28:42
maybe, you know, next next Sunday, possibly too.
28:45
So that's going to be insane. Absolutely insane.
28:53
Also interview, tourists will visit that's what I want to do
28:55
to you. Have you ever seen Channel 5
28:57
Channel 5 news with? What's his name?
29:00
Amen. He does like super funny, super
29:03
funny stuff, but basically put a microphone in somebody's face
29:06
and be like hey why are you here kind of thing, you know, like,
29:09
hey what do you think is Starship?
29:11
You know, just tourists as people that are walking down the
29:13
street like people that are just checking it out.
29:16
Meet new people show people what it's all about, you know,
29:19
documentary style, you know, like word.
29:22
I want to document this amazing thing that's happening.
29:26
This is not just about the rocket, it's about the people,
29:30
you know, like the people are important, the workers are
29:32
important, of course, elon's important.
29:34
But the People Like Us that are going there to make this
29:37
journey, you know, to make this, this Epic Quest basically, to go
29:43
see this thing being built. Not only myself but like the
29:47
randos from all over the world like somebody from Canada.
29:50
Some you know some some Neil guy from Canada might come down as
29:57
some point have to interview him.
30:02
But Studio Bow. Wow nice.
30:05
But yeah the people people on the streets I think that's
30:09
pretty cool. I think that'll be interesting.
30:11
So getting everything set up for that is important.
30:14
Like super important to me some Rando Neil from Canada.
30:23
You're not the guy that I play video games with every night,
30:28
not that. Not that me all, I'm thinking of
30:30
a different meal, a different meal Rando Oh man.
30:40
Yeah, the it's going to be wild. I can't wait.
30:42
I love this kind of stuff and I've been doing it my whole
30:44
life. You should take three days and
30:49
do an on-the-road set of Post men on the street.
30:51
On the way there, it just interview random people on the
30:54
street be like, hey do you know who's Elon Musk is?
30:57
You know, a SpaceX is? Do you know?
30:59
Dude, I did. Like the funny thing is, I was
31:02
doing that in a video game one time on Twitch.
31:04
I would go up to random people when I was playing rust and ask
31:07
them, you know, have you heard of Elon Musk.
31:10
Do you know who Elon Musk has? You know what SpaceX is doing
31:12
right now? And everyone was like, whoa
31:15
that's really cool man. Because like not a lot of people
31:18
knew about it. They didn't know about Starship
31:21
as like yeah dude it's going to be crazy.
31:25
So so that would that's a funny thing to asking random strangers
31:31
about SpaceX like I can't wait to get like super far south, you
31:36
know? Set up in a DD's across the
31:39
country. That's a good idea though, Jude.
31:41
I really like that idea. Just random people.
31:46
Like my job is literally to ask people what they think of SpaceX
31:49
and Elon Musk. I'll figure a figure out how to
31:56
do that. I mean it's like a gimbal.
32:02
So I would need a gimbal with my phone in a plug-in mic for that
32:06
to do those kind of things because I can't like shove a big
32:07
camera. People's faces that gets weird.
32:13
All nerds must enter here. Nice.
32:17
I like that. That's funny.
32:19
I'm excited though. I really am.
32:20
I have about a month before I move in and but we'll see what
32:24
happens in between now. And then as far as the stacking
32:26
goes in the The talk and everything.
32:30
So Everyone's been pestering Elon on Twitter about a to we're
32:34
like, hey man. Ilan.
32:38
When are you going to literally just talk about Starship again?
32:50
I'm going to stop by McGregor, I was thinking about it.
32:54
It's a little bit West. So I think I might do like a
32:57
like drive over there and hang out for a little bit and see
33:00
what's going on. But I don't think there's as
33:03
much accessibility I would love to go to like New Orleans.
33:11
I don't have like, that's the other thing too.
33:12
Like I got to stay on budget. so that's part of the thing, you
33:19
know, there's always a budget But there's 500 SpaceX employees
33:30
and apparently like at Starbase. Now there's a couple, you know,
33:34
there's a couple hundred, they're usually In and out
33:37
throughout the day but apparently Ilan has like booked
33:42
up. All the hotels and airbnb's and
33:44
stuff. And so Brownsville in the local
33:48
area is just like swamped with people.
33:55
The Quality Inn and America's Best Value Inn at Padre Island,
33:58
Highway til ke Veo that they were nearing or at capacity this
34:03
week because of the arrival of SpaceX employees.
34:07
I mean. Let's see, let's see if there's
34:11
any bookings. Let's check it out.
34:14
Quality in Brownsville Texas. It's going to be crazy meant.
34:21
I think check availability. Let's see.
34:27
Let's do August 15th, is that the earliest?
34:33
Let's see. So ninth seventh would be full
34:37
stack on Sunday, probably Monday.
34:40
So let's see two hundred thirteen dollars on a Saturday.
34:44
So, two hundred thirteen dollars on a Saturday, then Sunday at
34:46
$77. What?
34:53
So, let's see. Stay for a week Sunday.
34:56
The 8th until the 13th. See if there's any availability.
35:07
I mean that would be kind of cool.
35:12
Let's see, let's see. Should I book it right now?
35:18
It just in case. Good thing.
35:24
I got my apartment when I did dude for real, like I had to
35:28
jump on that, I really did in the place that I was, I signed
35:31
up for like they were selling out.
35:35
Either were literally selling out.
35:41
I guess, okay. It's going to be four hundred
35:44
and sixty six dollars for five nights.
35:51
Show his book it. I can book this one.
35:58
It'll be it'll be money on the way down to so it's going to be
36:00
about a thousand bucks. Basically to do this trip, are
36:07
we watching for a static fire or just chatting?
36:09
We're just chatting Joshua today.
36:10
We're just hanging out there's no static fire plant.
36:17
GAO just denied blue origin and Dynamics.
36:20
Oh yeah. Can I cancel my apartment or the
36:28
hotel? Because I think I can cancel the
36:31
hotel. I would get the, like, the
36:32
cheapest of the cheap rate. Later.
36:36
Oh, that's not even non-refundable.
36:37
Fully refundable until August 7th.
36:40
It's a nine dollar charge. What's the seventh?
36:44
Oh, that's the Wednesday. I should just booked it.
36:51
Oh, the hotel yet. Totally refundable until the
36:55
7th. B3 is for tired.
36:59
Yeah, B3 is done. It's dunzo Neil said earlier if
37:03
they're going to scrap it or move it on I'm not sure what
37:05
they're going to do with it. Probably scrap it at some point.
37:13
It's not like you won't be able to sublet it.
37:15
Yeah, that's true. Sure.
37:16
I mean it's how many SpaceX employers will be looking for a
37:18
place to sleep? I bet I could you know I'm gonna
37:22
have one I could get the place with to Kink two queen beds.
37:27
And I could be like, hey if anybody wants to like, share
37:30
this, just give me half the money sublet that hotel room.
37:37
It's 575 for five nights, not too bad, 10 to a room.
37:42
I mean, that's pretty much what I used to do, tend to a room
37:46
when I was younger. It was like every skateboarder
37:48
that I knew was like, hey, let's go to San Francisco, man.
37:51
We'll all pull in our money. We all had to pitch in like, you
37:54
know, 150 bucks a month or two hundred bucks a month or
37:57
whatever it was, but a little junkie apartment.
38:07
Pretty good times. So, August 7th, when is have
38:11
that's a quick trip, though. Like, I would have to I'd have
38:16
to get an oil change on Monday or Tuesday and then just get
38:19
ready. Like, I would have to leave
38:22
though. I'd have to leave Wednesday.
38:25
You get. Wait, what is this?
38:26
For the eight. Okay, so I'd have to leave like
38:29
Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
38:34
It's a two-day trip. So the sixth I could get there
38:36
for between the 6 in the eighth. Which we could camp on the beach
38:42
during the launch. That would be sweet.
38:45
That'd be amazing. Super dangerous.
38:48
Probably go, deaf. It's that close.
38:52
Probably feel some probably feel a big Rumble in your in your
38:56
bones to shake your marrow at that point.
39:02
All right, I'm going to sit on this for a minute and then I
39:05
really wish I could just pull the trigger because we don't
39:08
know what's going to happen. But now there are a few hotel
39:13
rooms so getting exciting can really exciting.
39:18
I have a feeling s20 will burn up in the atmosphere during
39:20
re-entry from seeing the tiles. S15 it will be hard to not
39:23
believe that the launch could damage or cause a TPS towel to
39:26
pop out. Yeah, one pop.
39:28
One tile popping out. I could do a bunch of damage.
39:36
Heard they're building even taller and wider bugger, bugger
39:40
high. But yeah, that's what we heard.
39:45
Yeah, it's going to be a little bit taller I guess than this one
39:48
than the normal high Bay. and also, Yeah, it's going to be
39:54
wider. I'll be able to fit a lot more
39:56
in there. Ilan has a ID on the 19th.
40:09
Hmm. Yeah.
40:10
It's other earlier today. But if if they get it stack next
40:15
week, It's going to be a multiplanetary talk.
40:20
You know it is like the whole thing is going to be like we
40:24
must make Humanity multiplanetary this rocket will
40:28
make us multiplanetary. I have until the 7th to cancel
40:34
it so I could just yeah, I could reserve it.
40:39
Now, let me just Reserve this because this might be crazy.
40:43
Cool. And then I have until when is it
40:46
next Saturday to cancel it. If if nothing happens.
40:52
Alright, let's do it. That's funny.
41:01
They're like, the like they try to sell you booking protection
41:06
on this thing. It's like to want this for 1295
41:10
$12.95, 100% Hotel, reimbursement, if you're sick,
41:13
or have a lake cancellation, 200% reimbursed up to I could
41:19
live in B3, I could. I could maybe I will if they if
41:25
they put it on the, in the stack.
41:28
But the other Starships, Dude, I'm putting I'm clicking the
41:38
button right now. We have a hotel booked for the
41:42
8th. In Brownsville.
41:50
From Sunday to Friday. So I have a whole week.
41:53
This is cool though because I can go check and go check out
41:57
the property the you know, check out all the Starbase and stuff.
42:05
It's buy a box of all, like, Elon, just plop it down.
42:08
Outside of Starbase, on this idea other side of the road.
42:11
But hey guys, I'm just gonna film out of my front window.
42:15
You'll sit on my porch and film you.
42:20
Let's see, confirmation email. There you go.
42:27
Here we go. All right, that's done.
42:35
All right, so we have a tentative.
42:39
Hotel booked. Alright, that's done.
42:43
That's a couple of the steps and we'll the mouse down.
42:46
That's true. That's a really bad idea.
42:49
Really, really bad idea. It's about 20 miles from
42:52
Brownsville to Starbase. Yeah, it's not it's not super
42:56
far so that's really cool. Am I going to watch it from
42:59
Texas? Highway 4.
43:03
I'll watch. I watch something that doesn't
43:09
static fire or launch. I reckon Eli would make kitchen
43:24
stuff, like, pots and pans with Starship tiles and work, and I'd
43:27
buy it, that would be pretty cool.
43:29
Actually like a stainless steel cooking pan from like, chunks of
43:36
Starships, would be amazing. Bill Nelson on CNBC mention
43:48
SpaceX and Elon every chance. He got those Buzz words carry.
43:53
And I think the box of balls are cool too.
43:55
I you know they're expandable to so basically like you just put
44:00
one next to the other one, pop it into place.
44:04
And now you have a Hol like, double double the size, and then
44:07
you keep adding additional pieces to it.
44:10
It looks sweet. I mean, I don't see why that
44:14
wouldn't be kind of the new way. Going forward to building a
44:17
house. I mean, it's pretty generic, but
44:19
most houses are pretty generic anyway.
44:22
You know, there's really, you know, most homes that are being
44:25
built today by big manufacturers are pretty generic anyway so if
44:29
you just need a place to live, And they're cheap, they're not
44:33
like all the other stuff that goes along with the houses super
44:37
expensive. You are able to visit Starbase
44:44
two weeks ago before the mad rush and booked up hotels.
44:47
Yeah, Sean. I just got this hotel for the
44:49
eighth. So if this works out, well, I'll
44:52
be down there for five days. I live alone with my dog and
45:00
affordable. Yeah, carry and I hear you
45:02
there. The affordable part is the it's
45:04
the important part. So that means I have to order
45:14
because I want to do live streams.
45:15
I have one more thing that I have to pick up before I go down
45:18
there, because I want to live stream from the side of the
45:20
road. If I do go Bring insect
45:26
repellent. Sunscreen, I got the sunscreen,
45:28
I will have to get some some off or whatever weight, you know,
45:32
spray off on. You do, is that it like a bug
45:34
killer, whatever? This is whatever the bug bug
45:37
spray is, Insert rip. I didn't see that till you till
45:45
you can't correct it at Sean. Nice RV wouldn't be all that
45:49
bad. Your mobile anyway.
45:50
So might as well have your home be mobile?
45:52
Yeah, that would be cool to somebody said a little pop-up
45:57
trailer on the back of my car would be cool.
46:00
That's like, yeah, but that's a lot for my car to pull, you
46:04
know, I have like a have a regular car
46:16
So yeah, I mean this is this is the happening, this is a thing.
46:20
So maybe in a week or so I'll be heading down to Texas.
46:24
I'll let you guys know how that goes though because that's going
46:27
to be a wild one. I've never been to Starbase.
46:29
So this would be my first time. And but it's going to be pretty.
46:35
So wheat, it's going to be hot. I'm going to have all my gear
46:39
with me. And I can't wait.
46:50
See what the weather's going to be like licks next week down
46:52
there. It's gonna be like 8,000 degrees
47:02
down there. Hey, thanks for coming on me
47:05
with this journey today, guys. Appreciate that.
47:08
Let's see. High near 94 next week.
47:16
On the fourth. Next Wednesday, 94, Thursday,
47:22
High near 93. So basically 100 degrees every
47:24
day, Yeah, this is the wild one. So yeah, thanks for thanks for
47:35
coming on the wild ride with me, guys.
47:37
Appreciate it. The change, the nightbot thing
47:41
too, because it says we have 4,000 of the 5,000 goal, but we
47:45
have 8,000. We've, we've oh my God.
47:50
I don't even know what to say. That's crazy.
48:03
Yeah, it's nuts means a lot. There we go, change that up.
48:19
Yeah, I need to get some You get all sorts of goodies that's
48:26
going to be a whirlwind so we will see.
48:30
But if nothing happens, You know, if I have to cancel, I
48:38
have to let 7 so it's all good. I'll need something.
48:50
I'll be like the craziest bug propellant.
48:58
I have boring company flamethrower, get it from MKBHD.
49:07
What if he has any of those laying around anymore?
49:08
If you line has any of those flamethrowers like hanging out
49:12
in his house, in his garage or something.
49:19
My selection of camera gear. What is it right now?
49:22
I have a Canon M50 that I use for daily use and a just got a
49:27
sigma 150 to 600 lens. And I also have a Canon 200 mil
49:33
lens And streaming platform, I'm not sure which one I'm going to
49:41
go with. So I'm going to make that
49:42
decision tonight and order it tonight, so I get it next early
49:46
next week. If I do end up going on this
49:47
trip so I can stream some stuff for you guys.
49:51
And that's pretty much it for now they study like stable, very
49:58
very nice stable. Tripod but yeah, I'm planning on
50:03
upgrading the M50 eventually Starliner did get postponed?
50:13
Yeah. Do not use off after the find
50:25
the best one that I can because I don't really use mosquito
50:28
spray around here. We don't really have mosquitoes
50:30
where I'm at so, So, we'll see what happens.
50:44
Deep Woods Off. They're monsters.
50:55
Last time I was in Texas. I saw a cockroach the thing was
50:59
like four times as big as the Cockroaches around here.
51:13
P1000 is off the table yet. The telephoto lens that I got as
51:24
a 600 Mill. It is heavy too.
51:30
It's nice though. It's very nice.
51:33
I'm going to practice with it today.
51:35
I have a bunch of stuff to do with it.
51:40
The best practice I can get with it around.
51:42
Here is Boats and planes, basically.
51:52
So I'm going to go to a place with boats and planes today at
51:56
some point. Ariane 5 launch today.
52:07
Yeah. And about four hours 33 hours in
52:20
like 45 minutes. This launch fails.
52:24
Yeah, I don't want teams web to be postponed anymore.
52:33
Stayed out of the crop duster. I could be one of those guys
52:36
that walks on the wings of planes but I'll walk underneath
52:40
it. One of those crazy guys.
52:52
A star one. Is that what the mission is
52:54
today? stir One mission star 4:40
53:01
today, so that's in about three, new three hours, 45 minutes Live
53:14
in Louisiana. You put a satellite.
53:18
I was thinking about going through there.
53:23
Going through Louisiana on my trip down.
53:29
It'll be fun. Because that it would be kinda
53:35
kinda sorta on the way, you know, it's like go through
53:40
Pittsburgh then. Towards Atlanta, but it's like a
53:45
weird. Like, if I go through Ohio and
53:48
Louisville Nashville, then I can kind of go across towards debt
53:52
like the Dallas Houston area, you know, but the interstate is
53:58
kind of like it. Go to Memphis maybe you know hit
54:01
up Memphis at some point in this.
54:03
Go straight down on 55 and then go across go through Baton
54:07
Rouge. Houston.
54:10
And then down past Corpus Christi and then down like super
54:15
South Basically is Miami. It's like the Miami of Texas.
54:27
Where do I live? I live in New York right now.
54:36
So, I have to go halfway across the country, basically.
54:43
What is like I've been to Florida and it's the same
54:45
distance from here to to Cape Canaveral.
54:49
Is it is for me to go to Starbase, so very similar.
54:59
Got to go for some pressure washing to fund your model
55:01
rockets and nice. Nice.
55:07
North Idaho. Nice.
55:08
Yes. Look at 1,100 miles from me to
55:11
Starbase and it's like a like round around. 1100 miles to NASA
55:18
Cape Kennedy Cape Canaveral. So I kind of have a triangle and
55:27
it's like, 1,100 miles from Texas to Cape Canaveral to.
55:33
So I kind of have like this 1100, mile triangle.
55:41
All right, is more like 1,700 miles 1,800 miles.
55:44
Sorry to a Brownsville from here.
55:47
It's 1100 miles from Brownsville to Orlando and then from Orlando
55:51
to my house, it's 11:00. So The beets there in Texas is
55:58
mud. Yeah, Florida's, awesome.
56:02
And I used to live in Florida. I used to live in West Palm and
56:06
I actually lived in Orlando for a time to near Orlando in Apopka
56:11
and that was pretty fun. The beach is they were
56:13
excellent. So yeah.
56:17
I'm I'm like I'm excited about the beaches because I haven't
56:20
been like beachy in a while. So I'm excited to be near the
56:25
ocean again near near some water.
56:26
Otter. Cariann.
56:33
Thank you, that's funny. Thank you.
56:36
Thank you. Thank you.
56:38
For the five dollars for mosquito repellent.
56:42
I appreciate it. That's funny.
56:47
But very necessary. Very, very nice sir.
56:49
I didn't know they have little mosquito.
56:54
Icons emotes. Yeah.
57:04
So Google Maps is telling me to go basically the Cleveland
57:08
Columbus, Cincinnati and Louisville, Nashville.
57:11
I don't want to go to Arkansas, man.
57:15
That's the part where I'm like Arkansas.
57:19
Really. I gotta drive all the way across
57:20
Arkansas, but I could change it from.
57:23
Go to Nashville and go to Alabama or Louisiana.
57:26
Go down south there would probably kick up a little bit
57:31
more. Couple more hours but yeah, I
57:35
give myself a couple couple days.
57:39
To get there, two to three days. and then to tree days to get
57:46
home, From a five-day stay in Texas.
57:51
So it's going to be brutal. Like this is going to be a
57:54
brutal trip. But the good thing about going
58:01
down there and living there is that like I just have to make
58:07
one way trip. It's a three-day trip down and
58:09
then don't have to come back home.
58:11
Like, five days later. So we'll see if this going to be
58:14
important enough. I have until the 7th to cancel.
58:21
The 28 hour trip. So Three Days on the Road,
58:28
basically. So it'd have to leave.
58:32
Yeah, so that's going to be, it's gonna be a tough one.
58:35
I'll probably end up canceling. This one.
58:36
Let's fit super important. If it were a launch, I would do
58:41
it, but we'll see. Tentative plans, these are
58:45
tentative plans. You think 600 mL is close enough
58:53
is enough for close-up work. It's as close as I can get it
58:57
for now. Tim any other lens that is, you
59:04
know, More zoom capable, it gets it gets.
59:11
Ridiculously more expensive. Could get his, we can get as
59:16
close as we can with that thing. The p1000 I looked into that so
59:22
many times and I was, I was cautious about it because
59:26
there's no flexibility with it. Serves one purpose, which is
59:31
super zoom and you can't upgrade it later.
59:34
So he spent a thousand bucks on a camera.
59:37
It does one thing, Or you spend money on a lens that you can put
59:42
on a different body, get better quality.
59:46
So yeah, there was a toss-up so it's like, what's going to be
59:49
better for the long run, you know, so 600 mL that's a pretty
59:55
pretty beefy Zoom to so. Yeah, I was, I was pretty
1:00:00
stoked. It's pretty stoked with the test
1:00:03
that I did with it yesterday. so that it's not like a 2,000 Mill,
1:00:11
you know, Sports lens or anything, but Stay safe
1:00:15
distance. Yeah, like, you're pretty close
1:00:17
to the to the build site anyway, you know, it pretty close to the
1:00:22
build site on the side of the road.
1:00:24
So be able to get some pretty good shots.
1:00:35
It'll be fine to be. Are you practicing with
1:00:37
equipment? Yes.
1:00:45
Yes, very much. So that's what I'm going today,
1:00:47
actually. I'm going to bounce out of here
1:00:49
in a couple minutes. I got to go get some lunch and
1:00:52
then I'm going to hit the road. There's a lake nearby.
1:00:56
And the lake also usually has planes on it.
1:00:58
So I'm going to be doing some testing, some video testing
1:01:00
there. so, Going to be doing some video testing.
1:01:08
Hopefully, see some eagles which will be cool.
1:01:10
I want to do some Wildlife photography today too.
1:01:12
So I'm going to be testing out the lens with that.
1:01:15
The p1000 sensor is the same size as the GoPros.
1:01:18
Yeah, that was another reason man.
1:01:20
Like, I really wanted the p1000 because the zoom but the quality
1:01:26
is way past that now, you know, there's there's there's cameras
1:01:30
that are so much so much better, so much better quality.
1:01:36
And if you get a different lens, you know, you upgrade your
1:01:38
glass, right? So it's like you keep your glass
1:01:42
forever. Like the 600 milk glass will
1:01:44
last me forever and I can keep that and I can keep changing
1:01:47
that from camera to camera. So as the cameras upgrade you
1:01:51
keep your same lenses lenses. Do after Job, you know, my 200
1:01:56
mil is going to be great for side of the road, kind of stuff.
1:02:05
That's 600. Mills can be pretty legit for
1:02:07
Zoomy Zoomy stuff. Oh man Boca Chica gal.
1:02:23
Work teams have raised a flag at the orbital launch Mount full,
1:02:27
send full throttle and with 100% commitment, even if you end up
1:02:32
failing, that SpaceX full, send is the flag.
1:02:36

1:03:03

1:03:07
