0:00
Hello everybody. Welcome to the show.
0:04
Today we have meal with us again.
0:06
Hello everyone. Here we go.
0:09
Hello, we're here. We made it.
0:12
We can heal said we can start. Because Michaels here, Michael,
0:15
to answer the real Michael. We started because of you.
0:19
We've been waiting. Yeah, we were waiting for you,
0:21
man. How's everyone doing?
0:25
We have a pretty good show. Today, we're going to talk about
0:29
a few things about Starship. Sn9, we have a bunch of other
0:34
Essence to talk about as well. We have some sn8 news we have
0:40
some n rol 108 news and yeah we're going to we're going to
0:46
get into it and talk about first, we're going to talk about
0:49
the nro L 108 launch which Will now be Saturday morning.
0:57
They postponed it. And that's pretty much.
1:00
That's pretty much it, let's call it.
1:02
It's gonna start out saying, that's pretty much it, that's
1:06
making sure making sure the weather was right.
1:08
Yeah, that's that's pretty much it.
1:09
The weather weather didn't really cooperate and now they're
1:12
pushing it back to Saturday morning.
1:14
The windows starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern time on Saturday morning
1:17
and they've a three-hour launch window.
1:19
So I'll be here streaming the show at Little bit before 9:00
1:24
so they can get started and then, yeah, we'll see.
1:27
We'll see what happens. Possibly.
1:29
We have to wait around for three hours for them to actually
1:32
launch. This thing.
1:33
We'll see though. So yeah, I don't know, we'll see
1:37
what happens. I think it'll go off swimmingly.
1:40
Yeah, I think I think it'll be fine.
1:43
It's a falcon 9. It, they always there.
1:45
Always fine. Fucking eyes.
1:47
Always good grub. Be able to see you'll be able to
1:51
see it. Just set your cave.
1:53
Alarm to an early time. Yeah.
1:56
So what is the cable arm since you're a caveman?
1:59
Is that like a like a dinosaur? Like a Flintstones - or
2:02
something? Yeah.
2:03
I think so, or like a, what They have like a pterodactyl that
2:07
they pull the tail of something like that, but they were done
2:11
with work. It's like oh man.
2:16
That was such a weird show. I love that show.
2:20
So yeah, so nro bell 108. I always have trouble with that
2:24
rol saying it is Saturday morning.
2:27
Now 9:00 I'll post it up on the channel today at some point so
2:31
we can all get together and watch, it should be good.
2:35
Times now Neil actually brought up this sn8 thing that I want to
2:44
talk about for a couple seconds here but first we got to look at
2:49
what happened to The Landing Pad of for sn8, right?
2:55
So when when aesthetic yeah this thing.
3:00
Cratered The Landing Pad. Check this out.
3:04
This is from RGV aerial photography.
3:08
They took this image, great great Channel, and awesome,
3:14
awesome patreon by the way. So this is the crater man.
3:19
Look at this thing. It's think it's incredible that
3:25
you can see where the outside ring landed.
3:26
Then the inside is where I'm assuming that's all just impact
3:30
damage from the Raptors. That's what I'm assuming.
3:34
Yeah. Someone gets wrapped it's
3:37
perhaps it was weakened by the heat.
3:39
I don't know, but it's that's quite a bit of damage.
3:42
Yeah, that's it. Almost see a ring where one of
3:44
the Raptors hit Yeah, there's the ringtone kind of down here
3:48
at the bottom and there's also like there's one here and
3:51
there's one over here too. So I'm not sure if that's where
3:54
the Raptors had. I was kind of looking at this a
3:55
little bit earlier today, what it looks like and then there's
3:59
there's like a bubble up here at the top and I don't not sure if
4:01
that's just fracturing or whatever but yeah there's
4:07
Landing Pad got pretty chunky. We speculated on it the other
4:11
day that there were scuff marks and you know, Stuff like that.
4:16
But we didn't know how bad the damage actually was.
4:19
So we couldn't see any of this. Shit was underneath the rubble.
4:22
Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's underneath all the metal
4:26
and since they finally got out there with a excavator, right?
4:32
Is that what they used something is for the backhoe.
4:35
Got an excavator. Yes, I know I'm just making I
4:38
just making a meme about yelled after that I got yelled at in
4:40
the comments for that. It's a Kraang lat.
4:43
Yeah I called it a crane at one point I call it a Echo at one
4:46
point. It's people in the comments for
4:49
the last video we were just like no it's an excavator like
4:51
exclamation points everything I got yelled at for that I was
4:54
like sorry man. I don't know these things.
4:57
I'm not a big machinery guy so it's actually later.
5:00
They moved all the stuff I forgive you and thanking them
5:04
and now we have a big hole. So they're gonna have to fix up
5:06
the hole before the land. Anything else here and I'm sure
5:09
there are it's not called on hole is called an Impact Zone.
5:13
The I see we have to fix up the I see.
5:16
Here. Yeah, they're bunch of holes in
5:19
the isay, so they got to fix it up the crane.
5:21
I know Greg, you laugh at me, man, ready.
5:25
Hadn't already had enough people laughing at me for that so so we
5:31
have an impact crater, nice. That people are willing to
5:33
correct you though. Oh totally and I'm totally cool
5:36
with it. Well, they're willing to jump in
5:37
and say no I'm sorry. Will what you referred to as a
5:40
crane? Yeah she called excavator.
5:42
Yeah they're really nice about it too.
5:45
So So I'm really I'm really happy they did and I'm more than
5:49
happy to say that I was wrong. It's pretty funny.
5:51
I said two different things wrong so I'm okay with that.
5:55
So now we have Ilan once I get there's actually you know what I
5:59
wanted? I want to touch on one thing
6:01
before we get to what they're going to be doing with what
6:05
they're going to be doing with sn8 parts of sn8.
6:08
But first, I want to talk about this thread from the everyday
6:13
astronaut a Twitter. Basically every astronaut Tim,
6:19
Todd says, hey, we didn't really get anything right.
6:23
Like, we didn't know what was gonna go on.
6:25
He says, in hindsight, we got a ton wrong while watching us at 8
6:28
because it did so many things that were completely unusual
6:30
Flight Club IO. When I assumed it would only use
6:34
as little propellant as possible, but it seems like they
6:37
really wanted to crawl up to apogee.
6:38
So they loaded it. And then Elon Musk says, far
6:42
from fully loaded, but we were going slow, or the ship would
6:46
have Have gone crazy. High /, far with three engines.
6:50
Yeah, and Tim said sorry meant fully loaded as in pretty much
6:54
as three three Raptors could handle it since it lumbered off
6:58
the pad and burn for about 4 minutes with shutdowns.
7:01
And then it's this is pretty cool.
7:03
Elon says the Raptors were well below Max thrust or the ship
7:06
would have blown through the altitude limit as we hit.
7:09
Minimum throttle point in engine would shut off.
7:12
So Yeah, it's it's crazy that this, you know, that they
7:18
throttle back so much and it's interesting that in order to
7:22
turn the engines off, they just kept lowering the throttle.
7:26
Yeah, they just lowered it. It was just like lowered it
7:30
until they just shut off. Eventually, it would give up.
7:32
You don't like if you're lighting a propane.
7:36
Tank or lighting a propane lanterns of like that.
7:38
If you look too much it actually just turns off.
7:40
Yeah. Because it doesn't have enough
7:42
propellant to keep the fire going.
7:43
That's exactly what happened. Yeah, and they didn't blow past
7:46
their altitude limit, which is good because they probably would
7:48
have got in trouble with the FAA.
7:51
I don't think so and probably paid a fine and that's not good
7:54
for business. So Ariana how you doing?
7:57
I never heard exactly how high they went.
7:59
I wonder if they went right to the 12.5 km Mark or whether they
8:03
were tiny bit above or a little bit below Having the one engine
8:06
42 still running? Seems they probably hit it right
8:10
on the money if I know SpaceX. Yeah, probably either read on
8:14
the money or like probably like a tiny bit over.
8:17
No one SpaceX. This is like that we can let's
8:20
just do it. Whatever will be the 100 bucks
8:22
or whatever. Probably a thousand couple
8:24
thousand bucks. But yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm
8:28
interested to see what s N9 is going to do.
8:31
Was it going to be a 12.5 hop? Probably, that's what we're
8:34
assuming. But you never know.
8:37
You never know how these things are going to work.
8:39
Yeah. So it might go up to 15 this
8:41
time, who knows? Yeah, because they can the
8:45
original, the original hop. First sn8 was supposed to be 30
8:48
kilometers, right? I think so.
8:52
Yeah bringing it down. So, yeah.
8:54
There's no reason they couldn't go up to 30 this time.
8:56
Yeah, fill those tanks a little bit more and let the Raptors
8:59
Roar. That would be amazing.
9:02
I mean because now they know that they can, you know, they
9:04
know that the Raptors can make it up to at least to 0.5 The
9:08
Landing though, sticking the landing after 15-20 k, whatever
9:13
they're going to get up to that's going to be the tough
9:15
part. So I don't have any reservations
9:18
for the for the Raptors I think they're going to be fine
9:21
everything else. Yeah, when they were following
9:24
that was as fast as they can go right.
9:26
That they reached one of the call it when they're something's
9:30
falling. Fast, as it can go.
9:34
Terminal velocity. Yeah, there you go.
9:36
Call it. So it reaches terminal velocity
9:38
on his weight down, so there's no reason to 30 km.
9:40
High Ship. Won't Go any, they won't go any
9:42
faster. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
9:46
Well, yeah, mate, I mean, well, I hope so.
9:50
I hope they go higher. That would be really cool.
9:52
I'm gonna freak out. I freaked out for the first one,
9:54
so I'm going to freak out for the second one and I really hope
9:56
they go higher. But yeah, it's like you go up so
9:59
slow that this show is brought to you by backblaze, I use back
10:03
place to back up my podcast. My video files, all of my
10:06
writing stuff, and all my photos.
10:08
And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs and PCs for
10:11
just $7 a month. You can backup your own
10:14
documents photos. Those drawings projects, all of
10:17
your data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the
10:21
world using the web app and you can access the files on your
10:24
mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
10:27
And this is a cool part. This is my favorite part.
10:28
You can restore it by mail, a hard drive will come to your
10:31
house with all your data shipped to your door.
10:34
I could come to your business to and you can restore return
10:37
refund program so you can buy a hard drive restore, send the
10:40
hard drive back within 30 days and get a full refund.
10:44
So basically they ship you this. Hard drive and then you ship it
10:47
back and you don't ever pay for it.
10:49
Which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
10:52
You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
10:55
teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
10:58
accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
11:01
can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
11:04
it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
11:08
So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
11:10
you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year and
11:14
if you use the URL back, place.com slash Ilan.

12:02
Plays.com /l on backblaze.com Ilan backblaze.com Ilan.
12:11
You imagine if they let those Raptors go a little bit more,
12:15
they can probably beat the same height in the same time or
12:17
faster. Oh man, if they just let them
12:19
rip, that would be amazing. I would love that.
12:23
I really hope so. I really hope that, you know,
12:27
once they get past sn9 and they're back into a sent ten or
12:31
they're up in 2010 that they can just let it rip and do like a 30
12:36
to 50 k, that would be insane. But before they do that, they
12:40
have to do something cool with SN 8, which is make a monument
12:45
out of it. Space, Padre, aisle says, Ilan.
12:49
Can you please save this nose cone as a monument to remember?
12:52
And then please retweet if you agree.
12:54
Ilan says agreed should be preserved in memory of sn8, so
13:02
that's awesome. That's cool.
13:03
You know what'd be cool is if they made it into something that
13:05
you could like actually go up and touch like you can go and
13:08
like hang out and like see this thing for real instead of like
13:13
put it on that side to rope, you know, that they made a new pad
13:19
over by hard to describe where the The the build site is and
13:24
then there's behind that. There's some RVs for some
13:26
trailer set up to like Airstream trailer set up for people to
13:31
live in. They made new pad over beside
13:34
that just a little pad. It looks like it's got six sort
13:37
of attachment points on it, so it might be for SN 5 or 6, but
13:43
it would be great about for this as well.
13:45
Oh, that would be cool if it's been sort of a monument.
13:48
It's a weird little doesn't even look Square.
13:50
This is a little concrete pad they built.
13:53
I'll be cool. That'd be really cool would be
13:56
nice just to yeah. Just you know like when those
13:59
Roadside Attraction things where it's like, you go see the
14:01
biggest ball of yarn or something like that, you know.
14:05
And then you know, you can just go to the side of the road or,
14:08
you know, like the the rocket was it called the Rocket Garden
14:12
at Nasa. Yeah.
14:13
And you can just kind of walk around hang out.
14:15
Have a picnic under a big rocket.
14:17
That'd be cool for SpaceX because they're going to be
14:19
making a lot of these things. For sure.
14:23
Yeah, really big. Welcome not here to yeah, just
14:26
for fun. Just yeah.
14:27
Just for funsies Falcon heavy. Eventually once they retire it
14:30
to would be pretty cool but I don't know when they're gonna
14:34
retire those things. Those things are sweet.
14:37
What's they get? All the Starships ready.
14:39
We'll be able to launch these for cheaper than a falcon heavy.
14:43
I guess that's the plan. Yeah, that's the plan.
14:45
Yeah, because they can put so much payload and elope.
14:48
Yeah, holy cow. Be insane.
14:51
I can't wait for that. That's a cool future that we're
14:53
going to have. What's up, Andy?
14:55
How you doing? Sage team says they save the
15:00
first Falcon 9 that landed not crashes.
15:02
It's outside SpaceX and California.
15:04
Save the first Starship that lands.
15:06
Yeah. They need to know for sure.
15:08
Yeah they need to that'll be it's I find it interesting that
15:13
you take it apart sn1. At the same time, we're talking
15:19
about saving all these later things.
15:21
It's interesting that they've decided that disabled that,
15:24
disassemble, that yeah, yeah, that's true.
15:27
I never thought about that. I said one its history making
15:31
but they probably don't think about that like that, you know,
15:33
they probably think like. Yeah, it's just you know it says
15:36
in 1 whatever. Hmm not a big deal and keep
15:38
everything I guess. Yeah, they did become a hoarder
15:41
your rocket hoarder come come space.
15:44
Yeah, exactly. Now cut it all apart and sell
15:49
pieces off of it to people for 20 bucks.
15:51
Yeah. Absolutely.
15:52
I love that. That would be cool.
15:54
I'd take a little chunk. That'd be fun.
15:57
Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, that's, that's the thing.
16:02
Like, like, they need to make money off of this, right?
16:05
I mean, I wonder how much money I was thinking about this this
16:08
morning as drive, driving to get my donkeys.
16:10
And I was like, I wonder how much space X makes on t-shirt
16:14
sales alone. You know, like they make, they
16:18
probably make a ton of money on t-shirts, and hats and whatever,
16:22
like all that stuff, you know, hoodies whatever.
16:24
It's like, 45 bucks for a hoodie.
16:26
So I wonder how much money they can make off parts of Starship
16:29
like little chunks. That would be amazing, it's
16:31
certainly good. Make a lot of money off of it.
16:33
I mean it pales in comparison to what they're making a faster or
16:36
something like that but or enroll.
16:38
Yeah. But certainly, it would be a
16:41
good chunk of change for to keep the store running.
16:43
Anyway. Yep.
16:44
Exactly. I'll be cool.
16:46
And for them, it's marketing, right?
16:48
It's that's their marketing. They don't do any advertising.
16:50
This is, that's how they get their word out.
16:52
Yep. Yep.
16:54
That is awesome. Live streams on YouTube so we
17:00
have S N9 news as well. The, we have, okay, so if you're
17:08
not familiar, sn9 was tipped over in the bay.
17:14
Fell over it like hit the bay as inside people.
17:17
The word people are using that with slipped slipped.
17:20
Okay? They slit slipped.
17:23
Yeah. It just fell over, basically, it
17:27
toppled into the bay. I like slipped though that's
17:30
nice. S.
17:31
N9 fainted says an e Sy. Yeah, it's probably.
17:35
So what happened to sn8? You know, and there were like
17:38
and just fell over like no, I don't want that same fate.
17:44
So what's the 90s and I fell over slipped, whatever Boca
17:49
Chica gal has a couple photos the Twitter, you know, the crane
17:56
basically lifted it out. The exam didn't put it back in
18:00
the bay, right? So we're not exactly sure how
18:03
much damage sn9 has taken, but it looks like they have S N9,
18:12
repaired enough that they have closed some roads and that's the
18:17
major indicator for for next, launches down in Boca Chica.
18:25
It's the, the Cameron County closures.
18:30
So, we have some dates and they push back some dates because we
18:34
were supposed to have a date for the road closure for this week.
18:38
A couple dates this week, but they pushed It back because sn8
18:43
was just, you know, SN it was great but they needed the time
18:46
to fix up as a 9 and make sure that it was okay to fly and fix
18:50
up anything that needed to be fixed up and these next word
18:55
closures, Michael Baylor from next space, flight posted this.
18:59
It's also on the Cameron County SpaceX site but here's a quick
19:03
shout out to Michael neck at next at next space, flight on
19:08
Twitter. We have a lot of schedules
19:12
closures now. Primary dates, December 21st.
19:16
December 22nd is the secondary date, December 23rd.
19:20
That's 8. A.m. this is all Texas time.
19:23
So Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, they
19:27
have closures they have closures on the 28th 29th and 30th of
19:31
this month too. so, very exciting.
19:36
Very cool or taking a break for the holidays but we could see it
19:40
move Monday, static fired, Tuesday, Wednesday, and We could
19:45
see this thing flying on the 28th. 29th 30th, who knows?
19:48
Yeah, it's possible or it could just be more steadfast.
19:51
We don't know. But yeah, I mean yeah the the
19:56
first day is for the movement they have to move it out to the
19:58
pad. They have to make sure that it's
20:00
closed and you know, the roads are closed and you know that
20:08
people are safe in that area. Because if something does happen
20:12
if Sni tips over whatever, they don't want it to Fall in like
20:15
debris, get on people and or cars, Etc.
20:19
So you have to close the roads. Make sure everyone's safe.
20:22
But December 21st on Monday probably going to see this thing
20:27
moving out to the pad. There's have to do, static
20:33
fires, they have to pass up. Do you think they're going to do
20:35
a pressure test Neil, they probably will.
20:38
I'm assuming you know I think pressure test would become it
20:41
has to all the stuff needs to become routine eventually,
20:43
right? And he said Become just sort of,
20:46
Let's get it on the pad Let's test.
20:48
Let's fire it and let's get it up in the air.
20:50
It's got a eventually get there. Yep I would think the pressure
20:53
test happened, the same time. Static fires happen, you know.
20:57
You can say maybe not work, that's in nine but the same.
21:00
Yeah the same time the same process.
21:02
Really you know, do a pressure test D tank that nitrogen that
21:09
they put in there to pressure test it then start filling her
21:12
up and doing a static fire. Why not what's on them?
21:16
Yeah yeah I mean there's no reason to wear no reason not to
21:19
I should say it'd be nice to get to that point you know be nice
21:22
to be able to get something onto the pad and and launch it three
21:25
days later. Yeah.
21:27
How are you come sooner Doug? Says that there's a 1 closure
21:30
for today as well for only one hour hats, right Doug, I saw
21:33
that. Either they're going to move sn8
21:37
or they're just moving equipment back and forth up the road who
21:40
knows? Yeah I don't think they're going
21:43
to be a crane sometimes. The cranes move really slow so
21:46
they need to close it down for that.
21:47
Yeah. Yeah, we don't think it's going
21:50
to move onto the pad today, but if it does, that will be a huge,
21:54
huge deal. That's quick, that's quick.
21:56
But like you'll say, that's probably, I would happen that
21:59
fast. Yeah, I don't think so either.
22:01
Especially with the nose cone on they're going to prove that
22:04
thing real slow. Yeah it's a lot more top-heavy
22:07
than it was before. Yeah without it.
22:11
Greg's asking about where Mel is Mel, had to go store.
22:13
So she's going to be late today. Yep.
22:16
Yep she might not even make an actually she makes me she said I
22:22
know we're gonna we're gonna be okay.
22:26
Yeah we got we got this today though.
22:29
I got this so so let me let me ask you a so now that we know,
22:37
Now that we know sort of the dates, you know, it's possible
22:42
here, let me go back to the date so you guys can see when they
22:45
are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week.
22:48
And then Monday Tuesday, Wednesday of the following week.
22:52
Do you think this thing is going to launch before the new year?
22:57
What are you guys thinking chat? Do you think it's going to
22:59
launch before the new year? Think it'll launch 28 29 30 in
23:04
that area. Nero 2006 says, early next year.
23:11
Flying I'd put my put money on it.
23:16
I knew years Niecy. That would be cool Saint Paul
23:19
says. No 50/50 do you think they're
23:22
going to leave sn8 where it is? For S N9.
23:24
Lastly have not moved yet, I think they'll move it, take to
23:28
move all in this case, X and Yi, Lan upset that the NRL launches
23:32
the last SpaceX launch of the year.
23:35
I don't know whether we can read too much into that and sort of
23:38
move that whole thought over to Starship.
23:42
I don't know, but just thought. Yeah.
23:45
Yeah. And sometimes, you know, SpaceX
23:49
surprises us so it's possible. We might get it this year but
23:53
it's got Slaughter back. Says New Year's Eve.
23:55
That would be so cool, man. That would be the cool.
23:59
It just hasn't reaches 12 and a half kilometers, shoot some
24:02
fireworks out the top of it. The farmers going off.
24:06
It 13 km, dude. That would be crazy.
24:09
That would be amazing. I need that's fireworks.
24:13
Enough to see. I sent my launch.
24:17
If Felix says Elon says, lots of things.
24:19
Yes, he does. He says a lot of things, so,
24:24
George TSS Ilan. Said that, there would be no
24:26
more flights for 2020 after enter ol 108.
24:29
Yes, yes, that's what he said. That's what he said, but can't
24:33
really guarantee. I know whether that equates to
24:36
Starship or not, whether he considers that a launch or you
24:39
consider that considers that a hop.
24:42
Yeah, that's true. You never know.
24:44
Possibly possible hot possible launch.
24:49
That's commercial launch oh baby maybe Debs who knows fireworks
24:54
after it lands 8 and like an SN 8 firework Landing.
24:58
Yeah we seen enough of that. Yeah we don't want we don't want
25:01
any more of that stuff. We want.
25:04
Perfect Landings. I said before sn8 flu I wanted
25:07
to see it crash. I want to see it.
25:09
Crater want to see a big explosion but it's happened and
25:12
I don't need to see it anymore. Yeah it actually made a crater
25:16
like it made a little crater in the past the landing.
25:19
Dad. So you know you got what you
25:21
wanted and that's it like hands off Neil.
25:25
You don't as being cows being very very optimistic with his
25:29
States. He's like Christmas Day
25:31
fireworks and whew, that would be cool.
25:34
Yes. Grug says, you think a fifty
25:37
fifty percent chance of success? 100% success for sn9.
25:46
Yeah, that would be, that would be really cool.
25:48
I'd be excited about that too. But yeah.
25:52
I'm I don't know, we'll have to talk about that in a little bit
25:56
because I was thinking I'd never give any rocket hundred percent.
25:59
Yeah. Yeah.
26:00
That's even Falcon. 9 never gets 100% from me.
26:03
Yeah. If I can Mi a chance there's
26:06
always a problem of potential problem.
26:08
I mean, yeah, Falcon 9. So trusted now You know that you
26:18
could you could launch a land those things all day long and
26:22
most of the time, nothing will happen.
26:24
But every once in a while, you know, it might land in tip over
26:27
but, you know, but each time is saying they'll move sne first, I
26:31
agree, they'll probably definitely clean off the pad and
26:34
maybe even fix it. Maybe the fix it while I send
26:37
lines on the launch pad but they'll definitely move sn8 from
26:40
the pad before they move. Nice and lined up there.
26:42
Yeah, I think I think so too. I mean that makes sense.
26:47
So, I also want to take a quick step aside, from from Starship
26:52
for a second, and talk about the Canadian.
26:59
That will be flying around the Moon, on the first crewed.
27:04
Mission of the Artemis missions on the SLS.
27:08
And this is from The Verge One of Canada's astronauts will be
27:12
sent around the Moon as part of a partnership between NASA and
27:15
the Canadian space agency the CSA, the two organizations have
27:18
formally agreed to collaborate on building a lunar space
27:22
station called the lunar Gateway.
27:25
So yet the Gateway will be it's like a docking station.
27:32
Basically. In between here in the moon or
27:34
in lunar orbit and Canada has already agreed to make Canada
27:38
arm for the Moon. Orbiter.
27:42
So did they did they announce an astronaut for this?
27:45
They didn't yet know they haven't announced the astronaut
27:47
yet. No, no, not yet as a Canadian.
27:50
This is pretty exciting for me. It means Canada is going to be
27:53
the second Nation to fly into deep space.
27:56
Yes, pretty awesome. That's so cool that.
28:00
Yeah, because then it's not just like it's not a national thing
28:03
like you can have pride in your nation or whatever but it's a
28:07
world thing. Like this is one of their when
28:09
people step On the moon for the first time that it wasn't a USA.
28:13
We win thing. It was like we made it like
28:17
humans made it. Well, they planted an American
28:20
flag. Well yeah sure.
28:21
There's which is a little bit of that not anymore though.
28:24
Those flags are white and doesn't matter anymore.
28:27
We gotta send people back that were flying right now.
28:30
Is the Chinese one. Yeah, that's true.
28:33
That's true. All of our flags by the way that
28:35
have been planted there on the moon, had been bleached white
28:37
due to a radiation. So, No, more Mega Flags on the
28:41
moon, they've all turned white. So we, as you can see, in this
28:45
little animation here and the YouTube animation, the Canada
28:48
arm for the Artemis missions. Pretty freaking cool, man.
28:53
I'm pretty excited about it and the knows how to lend a hand.
28:56
Oh, and an arm. Yeah, got them.
29:02
So yeah, it's pretty cool, man. I'm excited.
29:06
I'm excited that we're working with other countries and, you
29:09
know, we're bringing other People on board that aren't just
29:13
NASA astronauts because we all need to work together to do this
29:16
thing. You know, we can't one is a huge
29:19
Endeavor. It's huge, it's huge.
29:22
Yeah, it's going to be. This is going to be.
29:27
Another thing that's going to be human changing.
29:28
I talk about this every once in a while with Starship and how
29:30
it's going to be like, not just a SpaceX thing or not just like,
29:34
you know, a rocket thing or what an Elon Musk make a bunch of
29:39
money thing. This is a human thing.
29:41
You know, when we send people back to the Moon, all of
29:45
Humanity's going, you know, it's not, it's not just a couple NASA
29:49
astronauts, it's not, you know, just certain people that are
29:53
going, I believe it's going to be, you know, all Humanity
29:56
that's going to be going. Or at least we're representing
29:59
all of humanity, all of humanity, going to the Moon that
30:02
would clog up the moon. If everybody went to the space
30:09
suits, we're going back to stay this time.
30:13
Yeah, that's pretty exciting. Yeah, Moonbase Moonbase Alpha
30:17
right there. That's going to be cool.
30:20
Yeah, I'm excited and I would love to see more Partnerships
30:24
with other countries. I'm sure Jack's is going to have
30:27
a decent amount of pulling this and I wouldn't doubt that
30:32
there's going to be a jaxa astronaut going in one of the
30:36
arguments missions. You know, I think it's going to
30:40
happen eventually or a Starship Mission never know.
30:45
You never know yeah exciting. Yeah it's a couple of years on
30:51
my goodness so much happening. Yeah there's so much have any
30:56
life A Doug and Moonbase Alpha that is going back away.
31:02
It's, did you play that Doug is that?
31:03
We were talking about because I put that was I was referencing
31:06
the game Moonbase Alpha. Because that was one of my
31:13
favorite games, my friend, and I used to play it.
31:15
It was just goofy fun, there's another.
31:20
Oh, speaking of games to, we have a twitch Channel
31:22
twitch.tv/esa, snooze pod, and livestream there every Tuesday
31:27
and Thursday just kind of like as a little aside.
31:30
But as you can see on our checklist here we have SN 10
31:36
through SN 11 or 17, sorry, yeah.
31:43
Neil. You had some information about
31:44
SN All the sn's. Not all of them.
31:48
Are you had get some information about a sentence?
31:51
Yeah, SN 10 is its nose. Cone has got flaps on it and
31:57
it's being today probably it's going to be married welded to
32:01
the the tube, the rest of the nose going to.
32:06
So it's the barrel. I guess they call it.
32:08
So SN tens nose. Cone will be complete today. 30,
32:13
which is things at any point, they could put it back on us and
32:16
10 as a complete ship again and start to work on the wiring and
32:19
the plumbing, and all the rest. Pretty exciting.
32:22
Yeah, really what's? So after I said nine launches,
32:26
how long do you think we're going to get an SN 10 launch?
32:29
You think it's going to be a couple of weeks or do you think,
32:32
you know, to think we're gonna have to wait a month for
32:33
innocent n launch? I guess it depends on what
32:35
happens with us at 9 but I'm assuming they're going to start
32:38
doing it every two to three weeks.
32:42
They have a lot of these things in the in the pipeline.
32:44
Yeah, if I were running SpaceX and I'm not, but if I were Rings
32:48
basically, I want to do everyone would be faster than the last,
32:52
right? So sm9 gets up there, and it
32:55
doesn't take two months to get a launch, it takes a month and
32:58
then I sent n gets out there and it's three weeks or whatever
33:01
happens to be SNL Evans down to two weeks or whatever, timeline,
33:05
they're able to do. That's what I would want to see.
33:09
I want to see my people getting more efficient at want to see.
33:11
Building process, getting more efficient.
33:14
All the Kinks worked out on a constant basis and speed up
33:19
everything. I mean they want to get 1,000
33:22
launches or if 100 launches this thing before they can start to
33:25
put humans on it. So Giddyup.
33:29
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
33:30
I mean they want to launch this thing to the Moon by 2020 to
33:34
write they wanted. They want to launch this thing
33:37
orbit around the moon, so they have to build fast, they have to
33:43
build really, really fast. So I think once they get up in
33:47
the SN 20s, every I don't know, every week would be insane, but
33:54
every two weeks would be perfect, you know.
33:56
Yeah. Yeah.
33:57
Clean up the last one that blew up on the pad for sure.
34:00
And then you know, it's given scrape it off.
34:02
Yeah. We've also seen SN for teens
34:06
nose, cone being built, we have seen a lot of SN 13 to be
34:11
honest. There's three and twelve,
34:12
there's not a lot out there. Yeah, that's visible.
34:14
Anyway, but we're seeing bits and pieces of all kinds of
34:18
things, I send 17s for Dome, I think was being put together, so
34:23
it's it's amazing to progress. And How fast?
34:27
They're moving? Yeah, they're moving.
34:30
Really, really fast. This is a picture of sn8, by the
34:33
way. How beautiful is that thing?
34:37
A massive scale. Then the it's the super heavy
34:40
the bn1 moves along as well. They just leave the upper Dome
34:43
there or one of the rooms. I'm not sure which one of us but
34:48
yeah, so progress keeps moving forward.
34:53
Yeah. And you know what?
34:54
I guess. The next question is, when will
34:56
SM or sorry, be a B&B and one rooster one Boost number one, be
35:03
ready? Will it be ready?
35:04
SN 13 14. Will be ready sooner than that?
35:10
Yeah, I will be well, we see SN 13, get tested, and then s, and
35:16
then booster number one, get tested and then back to SN 14,
35:21
it's gonna be so cool, man. I don't even know what to I
35:26
don't even know where to start. As you think booster one will be
35:31
ready before SN 14. I think it'll
35:59
do you think they're going to put on it first flight?
36:03
You think three okay yeah it's just gonna be a hop I think.
36:07
Yeah I guess the another 150 meter hop.
36:09
Yeah, I think just like five or six but in the milk.
36:18
No problem. So a reference for that would be
36:25
using like the Starship sn8 use three, so they know that it can
36:30
boost up a heavy, heavy tube, basically.
36:35
So they know they work. So testing those Raptors out
36:37
before they get to superheavy. I think that's going to be, you
36:43
know, the little hop is going to be perfect for them.
36:46
So, They have to test it. I mean we're at sn9 now so 13.
36:52
Yeah I think you're yeah those just taller than this ship right
36:55
here. We're looking at.
36:57
Yeah, that's insane. Yeah, that's insane.
37:05
Yeah, I can't wait for that. It's going to be it's going to
37:07
be history. Making groundbreaking amazed the
37:09
probably gonna break the ground to ground breaking Etc.
37:12
But the is not going to do a belly flop, of course, but once
37:21
they want to do that quick hop, you know, like the the earlier
37:24
Essence that have, you know, that are made this hop.
37:28
It's a small hop, but it's absolutely stunning.
37:30
So I can't wait for that to happen to it.
37:33
It's going to be soaked. I'm just Things are going
37:35
through my head like this is going to happen soon.
37:37
It's going to happen like mid-next Year want to see them
37:43
on top of each other. Yeah, my goodness.
37:46
Why not? I mean yeah they're going to
37:49
have to do a couple of hops. Right.
37:50
So they're gonna have to do the the small Hops and then they're
37:53
going to have to get up to 15 K, 20 K Etc.
37:57
And you know get up to that point in the be able to land the
37:59
thing. But yeah because I want to use
38:01
the the Grid's Griffin's to Guide it back down.
38:05
Yeah, that's only to prove that they can do that just as well
38:08
with a large one than they can with Falcon, 9's booster.
38:11
Yeah. Flex is this sna or sn9 of the
38:14
background? This is sn8 definite.
38:16
There's a, it's a beautiful shot.
38:19
Look at that thing. Look at that thing.
38:21
It's absolutely stunning. Here's another city are any Sy
38:25
is asking. What do you think of using
38:26
cranes as a means of transporting good Alternatives,
38:29
be used like Manufacturing in space or perhaps some other
38:32
conveyor. You mean moving the sn's to the
38:37
launch pad? If so what do you think of that?
38:41
Space news? Moving it.
38:45
Sorry. I was looking at this.
38:47
So moving from the build site to launch pad right now they use a
38:52
Like a little drone vehicle to write it out, slowly.
39:00
What do you think about just attaching to the crane and
39:03
moving the crane out? Slowly the crane out this?
39:08
Let it dangle? Boom, let's go crazy.
39:10
I don't think that's a good idea.
39:11
One second, my lights. Live show.
39:17
I mean, is that stable enough to for one of these things?
39:20
I'm not sure. It seems kind of crazy to dangle
39:25
a giant rocket ship like that, but they're going to have to
39:28
figure out a way to do that. Anyway, To me that around with a
39:32
crane. So I had a thought, I had a
39:35
thought that they, if they're able to, because, of course,
39:39
they're in a national park, or I don't, if it's National Park,
39:42
but they're in a Park area, if they're able to, they might want
39:46
to build their own Road. From the long stem from the
39:51
right to the launch. Site strains a dime.
39:53
No bumps. Yeah.
39:55
You know, they can keep the road open while they do that.
39:59
I think it makes sense to do that is, don't whether they're
40:02
able to because of the park itself.
40:05
Yeah. I don't think they can do much
40:07
construction. They're much more than what they
40:09
already have. I mean, yeah, pretty restricted.
40:12
The, I mean, so, that's another, that's another thing, like
40:15
SpaceX has a ton of money to so could they They possibly broker
40:20
a deal with the state of Texas to like take over some of that
40:23
area and then give Texas like a bunch of money so they could
40:27
open up another area somewhere else.
40:31
You know, that's those deals have probably been done in the
40:34
past so I'm assuming order actually, if it's a protected
40:39
area I'd rather they didn't even try.
40:40
Yeah, it's all right. I agree.
40:41
Personally. I like that and I could see
40:43
them. I could see the mass in those
40:45
questions for sure. Yeah.
40:47
Because they do want progress and Sometimes you gotta kind of
40:51
is saying use an OCTA, grab or type of thing to attach it to a
40:54
giant roll. If yeah, they do have a role if
40:58
that they actually attach two of them together, side by side,
41:01
with some metal Beams, I assume to move.
41:04
Sn9 out was can take up the whole Road as they drive down.
41:08
It's going to be quite something to see.
41:10
It's a large thing. Yeah, be amazing.
41:13
I can't wait for that. What do you think about Mac your
41:14
Manufacturing in space then Sydney see?
41:18
Not yet it'll be it'll be years before we manufacture something
41:21
like that in space, probably decades for we manufacture
41:24
rockets and space. We just don't have the
41:28
technology yet. What was that?
41:30
You know, I can see them repairing things sooner and
41:33
space than actually building them.
41:35
Yeah, I agree. I agree with that.
41:38
What I've been scrolling around here.
41:39
This is sn8, this is all the manufacturing of sa all the
41:44
welds. I think this is beautiful right
41:45
here. Look at all these welds.
41:48
And all these, all these marks on this thing.
41:51
The donut donut, new barrels, for, for whatever.
41:56
And the booster, they look beautiful, the new worlds.
41:58
Are there getting much better at it already?
42:00
Yeah. Yep.
42:02
This is just like sloppy jalopy like get this thing up in this
42:06
thing and I get this thing up in the air.
42:09
Let's see what happens to it and then yeah, yeah, we find that
42:12
manufacturing process and eventually, you know, don't have
42:15
it sort of like a You know, like Automotive line, where they just
42:21
continued manufacturing what, you know piece by piece.
42:25
It's pretty amazing drugs. But what are what we're most
42:29
excited about for 20 21 in space.
42:32
Whoo. Man, of course Starship but new
42:39
Shepherd gigantic Rockets. Yeah, just bigger Rockets.
42:49
I'm a little kid in a candy store, right now I'm like yo
42:51
interesting and I think I'm pretty interested in what
42:54
happens commercially like. Yeah, once you Shepherd starts
42:58
to launch, people in the space that will be interesting to see
43:00
that business grow. Yeah, that would be cool and I'm
43:05
interested to see what happens with the space station as well.
43:11
I think we're going to be okay. I think the station is going to
43:13
stay for a while because there's no, like there's really nothing.
43:17
In stone yet for like a replacement for the station, or
43:20
somebody, take it over commercially.
43:22
So figuring out, you know where that's going to because the
43:25
station's pretty big and, you know, we need to, we need to
43:29
figure out what happens with the station because it's, it's kind
43:34
of, its kind of a big deal, you know?
43:37
It's not, it's not, that's something we just throw
43:39
Michaels. The next module is going to the
43:41
ISS, our commercial. Yep.
43:43
What, I want to show you this real quick, too.
43:46
Anyway. The sn9.
43:48
Hold on, I'm waiting for this thing to load.
43:52
I had a loaded earlier then I clicked off of it, the sm9 heat
43:57
shields. I was waiting man I can't get
44:00
this thing to load. Oh, there they are.
44:03
Okay. So sn9 heat shields.
44:06
This is like one picture of the sn9 heat shields.
44:10
From user. What does this user?
44:12
The EV n EV n EV en on SpaceX Lounge Yeah.
44:20
Pretty cool. What?
44:22
What? That's a quick scroll there?
44:26
Hope it loads command load. There we go.
44:29
Kind of see it. Michael.
44:33
Yeah. So there's another little close
44:36
up of the of the heat shield and they're going to continue for
44:41
finding this process as well. Yeah this is all tests at this
44:45
point trying to figure out what works and how they well they
44:48
stick on there and now they perform in the wind and all the
44:50
rest. Yeah.
44:53
So yeah they're going to attach of course the whole underbelly
44:58
with these and I mean this is asinine So what if they just
45:04
launched this thing to like 20K? You know what?
45:07
If they just go up and up and up 20K 30k and then they test out
45:12
the heat shield, see if it see how well it works.
45:15
You know, in such extreme conditions and how you know, if
45:19
it's going to be secure on that belly flap all the way down?
45:22
I mean, it should be pretty interesting.
45:24
I don't think they're going to. I think it's still going to do
45:26
either like 12K 12.5 or 15K. But Yeah, it'll be it'll be cool
45:32
if they did High launch for that.
45:36
Yeah, really in order to get the heat coming back into the
45:39
atmosphere, you really need to get to the out into space.
45:43
Yeah. You're not going to get it at 30
45:44
K or whatever. That's too low way too low way
45:47
too low. You gotta get up, gotta get a
45:49
pipe. We apologize for everybody
45:51
asking questions. We they're doing going by so
45:53
fast that we lose track of them. Yeah, it's hard to see them.
45:57
Yeah but she won't worry about our own stuff over here.
46:02
So I know that a lot of you are already tagging space news pot
46:05
on your questions, but keep doing that and if we see them,
46:09
we will definitely address them and we apologize for any that
46:11
we've missed grug says, how do you think how long do you think
46:14
until New Shepherd launch humans?
46:17
Oh man, Five years. I'm just going to throw it out
46:22
there. Five years ever.
46:24
Yeah, I don't really believe in that with everybody.
46:31
I know it's a meme at this point but yeah, five years.
46:35
No, probably mid next year. I think so.
46:40
Yeah, I don't think it is test in the spring and or even like
46:45
went late winter. Yeah, and I'm ready to go.
46:50
Yep, I think so too. Now, new Glenn, on the other
46:55
hand, that's going to be over the date, on that one.
46:59
Yeah, that's no, there's no. But there are some cool baby.
47:05
So, David Willis, the Primal Dino on Twitter, new Glen tank
47:12
barrels. There is some some new stuff for
47:16
new Glenn. And then we have a tank Dome as
47:20
well. I think they've seen how excited
47:23
people get a movie at new at stainless steel barrels.
47:26
Yeah, I get so excited. Looking at SpaceX barrels.
47:31
We might have put up with her own out there, all right.
47:34
Yeah. Probably.
47:36
I mean, it's pretty cool. I just want to see some stuff,
47:40
you know. I just want to see anything and
47:43
it's kind of neat, you know, just to see the manufacturing
47:47
facility compared to spacex's. Dirt road and you know it's
47:53
making it a you know in a parking lot basically like a
47:56
dirty parking lot. Yeah.
48:00
Yeah, you could to for making it dirty.
48:02
Yeah, right. Oh man.
48:07
So Hans Gruber says, just wondering would the weight of
48:11
these tiles be an issue because all will be on one side, I don't
48:16
think so. I don't think it's going to be
48:18
an issue. I, of course, you know, they
48:20
take that into, you know, take that weight into consideration
48:26
when they let me, it's always decide it.
48:28
Yeah, it's always an issue with everything that goes on the
48:30
Starship but because those Center Raptors, the three
48:33
Raptors gimbal, it's able to compensate for that stuff.
48:37
Yeah. Yeah.
48:39
They're working on, you know, figuring out the logistics of
48:43
that. Yep.
48:45
And then of course they're gonna have to adjust it.
48:47
Every time they fly you know, up until they get it perfect.
48:49
One of the things they're learning.
48:51
Yep this is definitely learning process you know it's cost
48:54
Millions to launch these things. So every time something craters
48:56
or something doesn't go right. You know, they have to, they
49:00
have to fix it the next time. So, they save money because
49:03
they're a business like, they're not doing this only to, like
49:07
make a cool rocket. They're doing this, so they can
49:09
make money, so they continue. So they could continue making
49:13
money so they could continue building rockets and then so
49:16
they have to make these things perfect.
49:19
Yeah. So that's the takedown is pretty
49:21
cool in the, you know, just seeing anything for blue origin
49:24
is really cool because I'm not like like I'm a
49:29
do-it-yourselfer, you know, like I'm a coder.
49:31
So I understand, you know, how how much it is, you know, how
49:35
important it is to like dig in the trenches and just go for it.
49:38
And you know, seeing SpaceX do that.
49:41
I'm really excited. But also, I'm really excited to
49:43
see what happens with new glandon like, how big this
49:47
freaking massive rocket is. So once they start stacking this
49:51
thing, I'm gonna flip out. I'm flipping out already.
49:53
Amazing, amazing launch. When we say that, man, I'm going
49:57
to Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to flip out.
50:03
Now, the last thing that I want to talk about today is something
50:06
really important and that is Tesla at one point.
50:12
People were shorting their stock and it's an Elon Musk thing, so
50:16
people were sharing their stock, so they thought it would be a
50:18
funny product to make. They made short shorts, and Viv
50:27
at full. In heavy FLC n HV y, finally got
50:32
the short shorts. I just thought that was funny.
50:35
Ilan on July 2nd set, test will make fabulous short shorts in
50:38
radiant red satin with gold trim.
50:42
Now They Are In Living Color right there.
50:46
So funny, it's so silly. Like yeah, it just doesn't make
50:52
any sense. I just want to, I just want to
50:54
do that because it's funny. That's it.
50:55
Like this not really news, but whatever.
50:58
Yeah. Yeah.
50:59
There was method to his Madness. Naming his cars?
51:02
Yep. Ask 3x + y.
51:04
Yep, right there. There you go.
51:07
Right on the back. There are some nice short scale.
51:11
I know. Right.
51:12
That's what I'm saying. Those short-shorts, radiant,
51:16
red, satin with gold trim. There you go.
51:19
I don't know if they still make those with its.
51:20
I thought it was pretty funny. Now, we can check that one off
51:23
the list. But yeah, so we're awaiting news
51:30
on sn9 moved to the pad. We're assuming early next week
51:37
for that move. and then after that, you know, there's three
51:41
days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday that they have For road closure.
51:48
So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next week possible.
51:51
There's going to be a move more than likely.
51:53
There's going to possibly be static fires and pressure tests
51:58
on those days to and then possibly not more than likely
52:02
not but possibly the week after that.
52:04
And the next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the week after that.
52:09
You know, we're going to hopefully get some more probably
52:13
to static fires more than likely, but then after that,
52:16
probably going to be a launch of sa9.
52:18
People are asking a lot of Sterling questions and somebody
52:22
asked earlier, just wondering, let's see.
52:25
Where was it at? I have a legitimate concern.
52:28
What do you think about? Elon Musk?
52:29
Starlink about the satellites. So I'm going to weigh in on this
52:35
briefly, And I think it's going to be it's cool.
52:40
But there are some downsides to the satellites Neil.
52:46
Do you want to go first? No talk.
52:48
Right ahead. Okay.
52:51
Yeah, I think so. I think this headlights I think
52:55
the said I think the idea is really great and I love
52:58
Sterling. I think it's really cool idea
53:00
but all the satellites, you know, people can still see the
53:05
satellites. The while they're using
53:07
telescopes, and while you're viewing the night sky, and I'm a
53:10
nice guy lover. So, having a satellites in the
53:14
way of my telescope. As I'm looking at Jupiter, or
53:17
Saturn, or whatever, or anything else, it's kind of, it seems
53:21
like it would be annoying. I haven't seen them yet.
53:25
I think that I also think that it's an amazing amazing
53:29
technology that the world needs. And, you know, the, the idea
53:36
that Everybody can have connection is awesome again
53:43
today it's like it's freaking out today.
53:45
It started doing it last night and I thought I fixed it but I
53:47
guess not. But having having that service
53:50
is awesome but the satellites like figuring out how to how to
53:53
not see these headlights. Is you know, that's that.
53:58
Keep them technical issues in mind.
54:00
These things are the size of a dinner table.
54:01
Yeah. Right.
54:03
That's the size of one of these satellites and space is huge.
54:07
Yeah, and they're going to have if you think about just the low
54:12
earth orbit area where these are, and you're going to have
54:16
10,000 of these up there, which sounds like a lot, but the low
54:20
earth orbit area is massive. Yep.
54:22
Absolutely. Huge.
54:24
These things are not beside each other up there, they are
54:27
hundreds of maybe thousands kilometers away from each other.
54:29
Yeah, they're pretty far away. They're pretty far away from
54:32
China. I haven't done the math there,
54:33
but I would guess they're probably at least. 300 km away
54:37
from each other. So when you're looking up in the
54:40
night sky, they're not going to be Taking up all of your vision
54:45
up there and they've been designed to be more invisible
54:49
than you think they've got. They've got special stuff on
54:53
them to prevent them from being very reflective and they
54:58
actually change their attitude base, relative to the Sun to
55:02
reduce the reflectivity of them on Earth.
55:06
So they're designed to not be that scene out there that
55:09
visible out there and there's so much space up there.
55:12
It's ridiculous. Yeah.
55:15
It the yeah, most of the time you won't see them.
55:20
Like most time if they have a train, you know, if they have
55:22
like the initial launch train, you might see them but after
55:26
that, you don't really see them until you know, until you do you
55:30
know, like you can have hours and out you could have days and
55:33
days weeks months, probably of not seeing a satellite like
55:36
that. But also you see other
55:37
satellites to so that's the thing.
55:39
Like, if I'm going out to, you know, if I'm going to go out and
55:44
like, Get some views of the nice guy.
55:46
One night have my telescope out there and another said, light
55:49
flies in front? It's basically, I mean, it's
55:53
going to be basically the same thing.
55:55
You know, the night sky. Hoping to see that lights.
55:59
Yeah. Me too.
56:03
Yeah. And they're very far apart from
56:06
each other and they're very small.
56:08
I don't think you're, I don't think I'll ever see one except
56:11
for, in that train that initial train of 100 or 60 or Never
56:14
happens to be this end up. Yeah, yeah, I agree with him.
56:18
The trains are something else about how they avoid hitting
56:22
each other, or other satellites, and they have built-in guidance
56:25
and, and actually little ion rocket Thruster rocket engines
56:29
on them to move, themselves away from things, they're constantly
56:33
checking to see where everything else L is and in the low earth
56:36
orbit and they're missing it, you're avoiding it.
56:38
Yep. Yeah.
56:40
So one part of me is like I love it and the other part is like I
56:44
hope I see one, but the train sucks.
56:47
That's it. That's pretty much where I'm
56:48
getting the trains. Cool too.
56:50
Yeah, it's real cool to I agree. It depends on who you are
56:53
though. Yeah there are some people that
56:54
don't want anything up there and I understand their Viewpoint as
56:57
well. Yep.
56:58
Yeah. And we already have stuff up
56:59
there so it's like put more stuff up there.
57:03
Cool. It's like putting more cars on
57:04
the road like we would rather see a beautiful, you know, Green
57:08
Lush Meadow than like a superhighway of you know,
57:12
16-lane superhighway. Anybody would have wanted like
57:15
you want to see a lake, you want to see a lush green field, but
57:19
also, I also want to be able to drive my car someplace and you
57:23
know, and I want to get to like the next town over without using
57:26
a horse and buggy like that would be nice.
57:28
So it's just it's like it's progress, you know?
57:31
And it there's parts that you got to take, you know, take the
57:35
good with the bad and I think we're going to have more good
57:37
than bad with us. Yeah, and you see Graphics, like
57:41
you've got on screen there, you have these thoughts surrounding
57:44
the earth, 10000 dots, whatever has to be those dots are
57:47
probably kilometers apart, you know, across if you actually
57:51
measured them in relation to the Earth.
57:53
So remember, we're talking the size of a table essentially for
57:58
me. Yeah, yeah.
58:01
Yeah. These dots, like, if you were to
58:03
scale these dots to it like, an actual one-to-one scale, these
58:06
dots would be massive, or sure, you know, But in real life,
58:10
they're like, you know, it's like this big like you could
58:13
reach from one hit like all the way across it with both your
58:16
arms. So they're pretty small So yeah,
58:21
let's see. Kyle Phelps says well here's the
58:23
problem with autonomous travel you will no longer be driving
58:27
your car anyway. So we have a lot to give up and
58:29
that's just one of the beginning.
58:31
Things, I can't wait for autonomous cars.
58:33
I do love to drive, though. I cannot wait.
58:37
I'll be first in line when, but it needs to be, it needs to be
58:41
more than just Tesla's on the road driving autonomous.
58:44
It needs to be you know, large-scale, everybody's doing
58:48
it. The cars need to be anonymously,
58:51
mind you a bit. They need to be talking to each
58:53
other while they're driving on the street.
58:54
So they know, everybody knows exactly what everybody's doing.
58:57
Yep, that'll be that'll be the day man.
59:01
I really can't. Wait, I think it'll be great for
59:03
people that The really, really need it.
59:07
You know, like people that just they can't get out, they can't
59:11
drive, they can't get themselves to the grocery store just
59:14
because whatever, you know, and they need to get place to get
59:18
supplies. You know, maybe they're older,
59:20
maybe they just can't drive anywhere.
59:21
They can't see. Well, you know, the and would I
59:26
need a car if I could just call one, right?
59:30
Right. I don't think I need a car.
59:32
If I could have one here in five minutes, that would take me
59:34
wherever I want to go. Yeah, let's all share them.
59:37
That would be way better. I mean it makes more sense,
59:41
Community Transit. It's like taking the train, man,
59:43
just jump on the train. It's faster.
59:45
It's quicker. You know in all regards, you
59:48
jump on the train. You get there, faster.
59:50
It's a quick experience. You don't have to do anything.
59:53
You know, you can be lazy on the train, you can do some work or
59:55
whatever and you get there with a bunch of other people, and
59:59
it's pretty safe. So yeah.
1:00:02
Same thing. With cars.
1:00:03
Autonomous cars in the future, we have these roads, we might as
1:00:05
well use them. So yeah, Kyle said, I don't want
1:00:11
Neal's covid car. That sounds nasty.
1:00:14
We're assuming these cars. Get cleaned every once in a
1:00:19
while. The oh man.
1:00:20
Yeah, I hope so. I hope so.
1:00:22
There's magnetic propulsion trains that are very fast.
1:00:26
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I can't wait, I can't wait
1:00:28
for cars to to talk to each other and everything's
1:00:31
autonomous. I could just like Neil said, you
1:00:34
can just call a car be like hey, I want to go to the store today.
1:00:37
Boop. Somebody mentioned I won't I
1:00:38
can't remember I open the chat there.
1:00:40
I mentioned flying cars as well. I don't know that I want some of
1:00:44
the people I know to be flying. Yeah that's going to be that's
1:00:49
going to be scared. Have to be autonomous at that
1:00:51
point. Yeah I also scared of Chunk
1:00:56
giant chunks of metal falling on people like what happens if a
1:01:01
flying car falls on somebody? You know?
1:01:03
Sure. or just happens to crash at the side of a building or
1:01:07
whatever, you know, that's pretty dangerous, but it wasn't
1:01:10
very comfortable up there because if something goes wrong
1:01:12
in the helicopter, There's nowhere to go but down.
1:01:15
Yep. Yeah, that's terrifying.
1:01:17
It's terrifying. I've been a helicopter wants to
1:01:19
you. Can you can glide a little bit?
1:01:21
Yeah, maybe it's chance, but in a helicopter.
1:01:24
That's it. Yeah, that's it.
1:01:26
Smoosh smoosh is Right Debs. So I've heard numerous like I'm
1:01:30
not a pilot, so I don't know this.
1:01:32
But I've heard that the rotors on a helicopter can slow you
1:01:37
down before you hit the ground. But I've also seen crashes of
1:01:41
helicopters that Were falling in the rotors into anything, you
1:01:47
know. Yeah, I am kind of in the camp
