  So I'm going to go over to go to the star league lunch for
• 2:20
  tomorrow really quick because we all know what's coming 2:17 p.m.
• 2:25
  eastern time tomorrow. But what's 1817 UTC is that
• 2:29
  right, is that right? 18:17 UTC, I believe something
• 2:35
  like that. 18:17 UTC. Okay, here we go.
• 2:41
  So, let me switch this over for you guys to do with the cool
• 2:45
  transition. Everything.
• 2:47
  Okay, that worked. So on Space news, spot.com, we
• 2:52
  have the latest SpaceX launch information, the launching 60,
• 2:59
  starlink satellites. There's no Rideshare this time.
• 3:03
  No right here. They're doing it all themselves
• 3:07
  and they're launching them to elio the launching event 2:17
• 3:12
  p.m. eastern time. So I'm going to be here at 117
• 3:14
  eastern time one hour before the launch.
• 3:17
  So we can hang out, we can talk everything SpaceX, starlink Etc,
• 3:21
  that's 1817 UTC. So, if you're not familiar with
• 3:26
  what star link is, there we go. That was hard to say star like
• 3:31
  is it is a Satellite constellation that will enable
• 3:36
  rural areas to have gaming speed internet.
• 3:41
  There's been some has been some tests out there where the pings
• 3:46
  are under 20 milliseconds. Under 20 dude, I can't get that.
• 3:52
  I have really high speed internet here.
• 3:55
  Really high speed internet and most of the time I'm at like 30
• 3:58
  or 40, you know, which is really ridiculous.
• 4:01
  Like that's really ridiculous, for high speed internet for
• 4:04
  gaming. And I got the higher speed, I
• 4:08
  paid for the higher speed in it, so I can stream on YouTube so I
• 4:11
  could game and so I get the, get the advantage, Get The Edge on
• 4:15
  my competition. But if starlink some of them
• 4:17
  were like, in the 20s 20s or 30s, and have Sterling is going
• 4:20
  to be faster than cable internet.
• 4:22
  I don't know what I'm going to do.
• 4:25
  Everyone's gonna be able to destroy me is like, dude, why
• 4:28
  would I have regular cable internet when I get him?
• 4:30
  Starlink, let's all switch over and I'm in.
• 4:33
  I'm actually in the, I'm in the region, where Sterling will be
• 4:39
  testing this. So it's gonna be like the upper
• 4:41
  Northeast Northwest mid mid, north of the u.s. sent the right
• 4:50
  word, right? Terminology the mid-north and
• 4:55
  Canada will be testing this. Hopefully by the end of this
• 4:57
  year, hopefully they can get enough satellites up there but
• 5:00
  this satellite is going up. This launched its going up
• 5:03
  tomorrow at 2:17 p.m. eastern time 1817 UTC will be launching
• 5:08
  60. More starlink satellites.
• 5:12
  So it's going to be a doozy it's going to be fun and we're going
• 5:16
  to enjoy ourselves on the live stream tomorrow.
• 5:20
  So that is that, that is that first are like today.
• 5:25
  Just a quick quick one that's for the launch but there's other
• 5:28
  stuff that's going on with starlink, I found this Reddit
• 5:33
  thread. It says SpaceX asked the FCC for
• 5:37
  permission to install 10 starleague user terminals on
• 5:40
  SpaceX is vessels. Okay.
• 5:44
  So what does this mean? It means SpaceX is looking for
• 5:50
  FCC approval and permission to use, starlink on there under
• 5:57
  drone ships and other ships that are mobile.
• 6:01
  So the Drone ships that are catching the Falcon 9's possibly
• 6:05
  possibly could get starlink and there's been rumors going around
• 6:09
  for a while now. The SpaceX has been using
• 6:12
  starlink Like under the radar, to get us the the video footage
• 6:16
  of the Falcon 9 Landings out there on the Drone ships.
• 6:20
  So, here we go. Let's read this out in order to
• 6:23
  expand its assessment of the end and capabilities of its
• 6:26
  satellite system. SpaceX seeks authority to test.
• 6:29
  These UTA to will one user terminals on seagoing platforms
• 6:33
  for period of up to two years, specifically space expose to
• 6:37
  deploy a total of ten Earth stations across up to ten
• 6:42
  vessels including Moving to autonomous Spaceport drone
• 6:45
  ships. Use tool and rocket boosters at
• 6:47
  Sea on high-velocity missions. That cannot carry enough fuel to
• 6:52
  allow for return to launch site landing and support ships.
• 6:55
  That accompany the Drone ships to The Landing Zone at Sea.
• 6:59
  So, we could get a test of startling because they want to
• 7:04
  make certain link available to Planes.
• 7:07
  Trains, automobiles buses, boats ships, Cargo everything they
• 7:14
  want to everywhere. So they need to make sure that
• 7:17
  they test this thing before, you know, before they launch it to
• 7:23
  the general public. So that you have a two-year
• 7:25
  window. It says here they have a
• 7:26
  two-year window. Space x 6 experimental,
• 7:29
  Authority for operation of its use of terminals aboard.
• 7:32
  These vessels when they are one anchored at Port so they're not
• 7:36
  going to be moving and to in transit to predetermined Landing
• 7:41
  zones of the Atlantic Ocean and three.
• 7:43
  On station, at those Landing Zone sites.
• 7:46
  So how cool is that? If you guys had so chat if you
• 7:52
  had the chance, To get starlink in your current situation and it
• 7:59
  was similar similar speeds, maybe a little bit, you know,
• 8:06
  say if it was the the same speed as you get know, if you have the
• 8:10
  same speed, but you got to use starlink the satellite and you
• 8:14
  get the beta test. It would you ditch your?
• 8:17
  Would you ditch your current provider just a beta tester link
• 8:20
  and have sort of a knot? Perfect experience right away
• 8:25
  because you might not have the perfect experience, it might
• 8:27
  still be buggy for a while and you never know what's going to
• 8:31
  happen in a beta period. There have full test software,
• 8:35
  the update firmware may have to change out some some Hardware.
• 8:42
  Jonathan said, if you I would get even if it's worse because I
• 8:46
  hate my cable company. Nice, I do it.
• 8:50
  I feel you there. I feel the feel you there.
• 8:53
  My cable company always tries to like nickel-and-dime everybody.
• 9:00
  So instead of having, you know, the regular just all we want is
• 9:05
  internet, right? All I want is internet but They
• 9:10
  want you to have cable TV, in order to get internet, and they
• 9:15
  want to sign you up for a phone plan.
• 9:17
  I went into to pay my bill like couple months ago.
• 9:22
  And a person beyond the desk was like, oh you got an iPhone I see
• 9:27
  I was like yeah and they said you know we offer phone plans
• 9:33
  and I was like okay and she said you can bring your own phone
• 9:37
  too. I said, okay, that's cool.
• 9:41
  And I said, okay, how much she said?
• 9:42
  45 bucks and I said, oh, I'm paying 40 now, so I'm good and
• 9:46
  I'm on, you know, I'm on the Verizon network.
• 9:48
  So I'm really good and she said, okay, we could just bundle it
• 9:52
  with everything. It's just one payment and I was
• 9:54
  like, I was like, but can I pay it with an app within seconds?
• 9:59
  Do I have to navigate this crazy app with all this other stuff,
• 10:03
  can I just go poop and pay my bill, don't think so.
• 10:06
  So ease of use it. It's five dollars less and I
• 10:10
  have great service and their customer service where I'm at
• 10:12
  right now is really good. So I was like, I'm sorry, I
• 10:15
  can't do it. The phone plan, like, they're
• 10:19
  just going to keep trying to bundle things because they're
• 10:20
  losing cable subscribers. So if 2G internet.
• 10:24
  So, whoa, Sully layers worst air leak is not needed and Wi-Fi is
• 10:30
  in m. Cellular is where starlink is
• 10:34
  not needed. Was that mean?
• 10:38
  So, if you have cell service, you won't need starlink.
• 10:40
  Is that what you're saying? Cruise ship Roger.
• 10:44
  Yeah, cruise ship sound like a perfect place for this because
• 10:49
  there's I don't how many people are on a cruise.
• 10:51
  I don't know. I've never been on a cruise, a
• 10:53
  thousand people. Maybe a thousand.
• 10:57
  I've never been. How to use my wireless internet
• 11:00
  instead of starlink. Oh okay.
• 11:03
  I was 14 is here. Now what?
• 11:05
  It just dropped, get a shot gaming.
• 11:07
  Hello you miss enter mid-sentence.
• 11:13
  Okay I'm I'm confused anyway, man.
• 11:16
  I'm confused. Anyway, today I'm totally
• 11:18
  confused. My internet sucks as Neil.
• 11:22
  So, yes, for sure. I hear you, man.
• 11:24
  I hear you. When I was, I lived on a
• 11:28
  mountain in Vermont and it was just horrible internet.
• 11:35
  Just like, just really bad internet.
• 11:37
  It was okay, but it would drop in and out.
• 11:40
  And if I had Sterling KY would have been, like, sign me up
• 11:44
  right now, would have been perfect.
• 11:46
  Would have been perfect Spaceflight, what's up, man?
• 11:53
  Welcome cater, dad gave me Cater dot cater top gaming, it's a big
• 11:58
  one. Oh man I can't download it then
• 12:00
  not right now. Let me see, if my iOS update
• 12:03
  came in. I'm excited about this stuff
• 12:05
  too, by the way. What is my mic?
• 12:11
  Nope, not yet. For me.
• 12:12
  Oh well so let's read. Let's get into the very end of
• 12:15
  this article here as required by required under specially.
• 12:20
  Going to see 90 566 of the above reference.
• 12:22
  Earth station authorization SpaceX Services Inc, SpaceX here
• 12:26
  by provides the model number for its user terminal.
• 12:28
  UTA 2010, K UT a201. So let's do a little research
• 12:35
  for this. A see if we can find any sort of
• 12:41
  information about this, there's not really much going on, I'm
• 12:46
  going to do a quick search for this.
• 12:52
  UTA 201. Let's see if we can find this
• 12:55
  thing. I know we have satellites,
• 12:57
  right? We have the satellites.
• 13:00
  We've seen the, we've seen the dish.
• 13:01
  Has everyone seen the dishes? They're like cool little
• 13:03
  spaceships, like little saucers on top of a stick.
• 13:06
  It's pretty awesome. But there's some FCC reports
• 13:09
  going on or going out there but you know the testing that's
• 13:16
  going to be going on. Next will be on things in the
• 13:22
  sea or in the ocean. So I'm really happy about that.
• 13:25
  I really hope that they can get this like Right across so many
• 13:30
  different places, they can make tons and tons of money like
• 13:33
  billions and billions hundreds of billions of dollars trillions
• 13:36
  of dollars. So they can make Starships,
• 13:38
  thousands of starships and send them to Mars.
• 13:40
  Let's get some boots on Mars. Let's get some boots on Mars.
• 13:46
  What kneeled your iOS 14 is ready.
• 13:49
  Starlink is slower than Then your cable connection.
• 13:54
  It's, yeah, it is possible. It is possible.
• 13:57
  Sometimes there's faster though, sometimes it's faster.
• 14:00
  There was a What am I doing here?
• 14:04
  Get it. Go back here.
• 14:07
  So if it's 20 milliseconds or less right now, I'm getting 40
• 14:11
  milliseconds, 40 45, milliseconds for some Services,
• 14:16
  right? For some applications download
• 14:19
  speed, super fast. My upload is okay but it's not
• 14:22
  super fast. So maybe if starlink was going
• 14:25
  to have a super-fast upload I would switch the I think that
• 14:28
  would be that would be the game changer for me if it was similar
• 14:32
  to my download speeds, but also You know, the the upload speed
• 14:39
  has to be really, really fast and then I would switch over.
• 14:43
  But right now I'm not sure. I don't think SpaceX updated
• 14:47
  their website not yet no but the the starlink launch will be
• 14:50
  tomorrow at 2:17 p.m. eastern time 18:17 UTC tune in 1:17 p.m.
• 14:57
  eastern time tomorrow here on this channel so we can watch it
• 15:00
  together to have a little little watch party.
• 15:04
  Our cable started out at $75 per month and after a year up to
• 15:08
  145, what the set of Trials over now, two years is up and 210
• 15:14
  bucks per A month. That is some ripoff, man.
• 15:19
  That is some rip off the line. I'll even trying to grow out
• 15:21
  your beard for me. This is like one day.
• 15:24
  I gotta shave it. I miss it.
• 15:27
  Yeah, I've been one light year. I've been, I've been growing up
• 15:33
  my beard for one light year now, it's like a day.
• 15:36
  Yeah, I forgot to shave yesterday.
• 15:38
  So my beard is growing out a little bit.
• 15:41
  It's good time. Price of sterling will be key
• 15:44
  for whether people Speed doesn't matter to most folks.
• 15:46
  That's true, that's true. If they can get it around $45.
• 15:50
  I think that's a really good really, really good price for
• 15:55
  really high speed internet. Should I watch your stream or
• 16:00
  Tim stream? Why not both do both.
• 16:03
  Tim's. Good man, I have nothing but
• 16:06
  respect for Tim so if you choose him over me, that's cool.
• 16:09
  Tim's awesome. But I'm just saying you'd be
• 16:14
  cooler. You'd probably be the coolest
• 16:17
  person that I know if you stayed here and watched over here.
