1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,000 Twitter's most iconic symbol, the light blue bird logo, seems 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,040 to be facing the Twilight, going the way of the dodo, if you 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,400 will. The decision to retire the bird, 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,440 which has been at the center of the company's brand since its 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,200 inception in 2006, marks the latest in a series of dramatic 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,320 changes under Elon Musk, the platform's owner. 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,560 Musk, 52 years old now the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,990 announced via his personal Twitter account, x.com now 9 00:00:28,990 --> 00:00:33,710 points to Twitter.com. Interim X logo goes live later 10 00:00:33,710 --> 00:00:36,590 today. His post, at once cryptic and 11 00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:40,470 clear, signify the impending end of the familiar bird logo. 12 00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:44,830 Soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and gradually all 13 00:00:44,830 --> 00:00:46,510 the birds, he added in a later tweet. 14 00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:50,590 These words echo his ambition to redefine the social media giant 15 00:00:50,590 --> 00:00:53,650 into something that's all-encompassing Now. 16 00:00:53,650 --> 00:00:57,130 The distinctive bird logo traces its origins back to Twitter's 17 00:00:57,130 --> 00:01:00,650 founding, when the company purchased a stock symbol of a 18 00:01:00,650 --> 00:01:05,290 light blue bird for $15, as reported by design website 19 00:01:05,489 --> 00:01:08,370 Creative Block. And Twitter's name itself is a 20 00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:11,170 whimsical allusion to the sound of birds chattering. 21 00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:14,450 Now, however, the future of the platform appears to void of 22 00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:17,760 these avian reverences. Musk's connection to the X 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,280 symbol is not new, though. In 1999 he founded x.com, a 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,040 company that later evolved into PayPal, one of the world's 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,520 leading online payment platforms. 26 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,160 Now, when Musk, famously known for his ambitious ventures and 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,320 electric vehicles and space exploration, took over Twitter 28 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:37,360 last year, he dubbed it an accelerant to creating X, the 29 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,240 Everything app. Now, this statement gives us a 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,800 hint of Musk's grand vision to the future of Twitter. 31 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,640 Following this direction, Twitter's parent company was 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,160 subsequentially named X Corporation. 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,200 Now, the decision to swap Twitter's familiar bird logo 34 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,560 with a new one raised eyebrows in the business community. 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,200 Elon Musk said if a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we'll 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,960 go live worldwide tomorrow. That's what Musk said, posting 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920 the logo changed through at a surprisingly fast pace. 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,720 And in another statement, he spoke of cutting the Twitter 39 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,070 logo off the building with blowtorches, possibly referring 40 00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:15,270 to the removal of the old signage from Twitter's San 41 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:18,990 Francisco headquarters. Musk's moves have not been 42 00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:21,990 without controversy, though. In the six months since the $44 43 00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:24,590 billion acquisition, he's shaken the Twitter world. 44 00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:28,270 Despite Twitter's brand toolkit still recognizing the light blue 45 00:02:28,270 --> 00:02:32,310 bird as its most recognizable asset, Musk has shown his 46 00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:36,630 commitment to charging a new path for the social media giant. 47 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:40,230 Yet this hasn't translated into instant success. 48 00:02:40,780 --> 00:02:44,300 Fidelity marked down as holding in Twitter by 2/3 in May, and 49 00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:46,740 Kathy Woods, Ark. Investment Management also 50 00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:50,940 reduced its stake by 47%, as reported by the Wall Street 51 00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:53,180 Journal. Now, to counter the challenges, 52 00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:56,100 Musk has set out to revitalize Twitter's revenue streams, 53 00:02:56,340 --> 00:02:59,060 primarily focusing on optimizing advertising. 54 00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:01,980 Earlier this year in March, he announced plans to enhance the 55 00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:04,740 relevance of Twitter's ads, projecting the platform would 56 00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:07,220 break even on a cash flow basis in quarter 2. 57 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,080 However, the reality proved otherwise as Twitter's cash flow 58 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840 remained in the red. Musk attributed this to a 59 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,840 roughly 50% drop in advertising revenue and the company's 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,240 substantial debt load. Further iterating on his 61 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,800 rebranding plans, Musk revealed that Twitter would soon sport an 62 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,600 X logo accompanied by a significant color scheme change. 63 00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:32,560 He initiated a user poll to change default platform color to 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,520 black and even hinted at a potential logo design saving 65 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,960 like this. But X above an illustration of 66 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,280 the iconic bird silhouette against a black backdrop, Elon 67 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,120 Musk's unconventional leadership style has been a subject of much 68 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,000 debate. Now he continues to make 69 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,240 headlines with his decisions at Twitter. 70 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,000 And his personal Twitter account, once known for his 71 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,800 innovative updates on SpaceX and Tesla, has now transformed into 72 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,320 a live chronicle of his overhaul of Twitter. 73 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,600 The once playful, bird loving platform is evolving under Musk 74 00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:09,420 and whether this transformation leads to a triumphant flight or 75 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:12,060 a crash landing remains to be seen. 76 00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:14,340 Could this be the rise of a new Phoenix? 77 00:04:14,660 --> 00:04:18,220 However, amid all the upheavals, Musk has not shield away from 78 00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:20,740 addressing the challenging financial situation Facing 79 00:04:20,740 --> 00:04:22,900 Twitter. He has openly warned that the 80 00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:26,760 platform might face bankruptcy risk, a sentiment underscored by 81 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,880 the platform's persistent negative cash flow due to a 82 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,320 significant drop in advertising revenue and the subsequential 83 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,120 debt load move to replace Twitter's long standing bird 84 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,040 logo signifies more than just a design change, it represents a 85 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,720 shift in identity, philosophy, and perhaps destiny for Twitter. 86 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,280 With Elon Musk is at the helm and he's steering Twitter, or 87 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:50,360 now X, into a new chapter in its history, we're going to switch 88 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,080 gears from Twitter to Tesla now. And on Friday, a U.S. 89 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,680 Federal appeals court indicated its readiness to reassess a 90 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,040 recent decision condemning Tesla CEO Elon Musk first purported 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,840 violation of federal labor laws. The violation reportedly came 92 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:10,120 about in 2018 through Musk's tweet suggesting that employees 93 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,400 could lose stock options if they chose to join a union. 94 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,040 This reconsideration was triggered by the 5th US Circuit 95 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,200 Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans. 96 00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:20,890 It granted Tesla's request to revisit the case. 97 00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:24,490 Agreeing to engage a panel comprising its 16 active judges 98 00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:28,370 and bank review is a significant procedural move, typically 99 00:05:28,570 --> 00:05:31,490 implying that the court believes the course possesses substantial 100 00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:34,250 importance or the initial decision might have been 101 00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:37,210 incorrect. Earlier in March, a three judge 102 00:05:37,210 --> 00:05:39,970 panel from the same court had upheld a National Labor 103 00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:42,530 Relations. Board or the NLRB Ruling. 104 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:47,870 The NLRB held that Musk's tweet on May 20th, 2018 constituted an 105 00:05:47,870 --> 00:05:51,150 unlawful threat with potential discouraging impacts on 106 00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:54,790 unionization efforts at Tesla. As per this ruling, Musk was 107 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:57,310 directed to delete the offending tweet. 108 00:05:57,550 --> 00:06:00,550 The tweet came into focus when the United Auto Workers Union 109 00:06:00,750 --> 00:06:03,110 was seeking to organize employees at Tesla's plant 110 00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:07,150 located in Fremont, CA. To organize employees at Tesla's 111 00:06:07,150 --> 00:06:11,070 plant located in Fremont, CA, the Musk's tweet read. 112 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,760 Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union 113 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,320 could do so tomorrow if they wanted, he wrote. 114 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,080 But why pay union dues and give up stock options for nothing? 115 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,520 The appeals courts panel identified substantial evidence 116 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,920 that the tweet posed an implied threat to end stock options as 117 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,000 retaliation for unionization. Now arguing for a 118 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,880 reconsideration, Tesla raised free speech concerns, arguing 119 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200 that the NLRB disregarded several key factors. 120 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,840 Firstly, no employees allege that Musk's tweet threatened 121 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,200 them. Secondly, Musk didn't intend to 122 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,120 threat anyone. Finally, Musk later clarified 123 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760 that his tweet wasn't intended as a threat. 124 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,720 At the time of the report, both the NLRB and Tesla, along with 125 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,200 their legal teams, haven't responded for any of our 126 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,640 comments. Now, the final decision on the 127 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,180 case isn't expected before 2024, though it's important to note 128 00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:07,860 that out of the 16 active judges on the appeals court, 12 were 129 00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:10,380 appointed by Republican presidents, potentially 130 00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:13,060 influencing the ideological balance of the bench. 131 00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:15,860 This isn't the first time that Musk's Twitter activities have 132 00:07:15,860 --> 00:07:17,740 landed him in legal hot water, though. 133 00:07:18,140 --> 00:07:22,020 In August 2018, he tweeted about having quote funding secured for 134 00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:25,140 taking Tesla private. This resulted in a US Security 135 00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:28,420 is an Exchange Commission lawsuit, as the funding claim 136 00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:31,740 turned out to be false. Subsequently, Musk and Tesla had 137 00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:35,460 to collectively pay $40 million in civil fines to settle the 138 00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:37,140 lawsuit. Now, despite these legal 139 00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:40,340 tangles, Musk's business empire remains unscathed. 140 00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:46,420 As per Forbes magazine, Musk's fortune stands at $236.4 141 00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:49,820 billion, making him the second richest person globally. 142 00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:53,140 In an unexpected move last October, he acquired Twitter for 143 00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:57,140 $44 billion, stirring a new era of leadership for the social 144 00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:00,710 media giant, and the forthcoming reconsidering of Musk's case 145 00:08:00,710 --> 00:08:03,990 presents a fresh opportunity for the tech mogul to defend his 146 00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:06,270 stance. It remains to be seen how this 147 00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:09,310 unprecedented legal battle unfolds and its potential impact 148 00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:12,750 on unionization efforts within the tech industry are now. 149 00:08:12,750 --> 00:08:15,270 Regardless of the outcome, though, the case underscores the 150 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:18,830 rising tension between the tech, labor movements and industry 151 00:08:18,830 --> 00:08:20,550 leaders. In the Today, we're going to be 152 00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:23,310 looking into a significant development in the electric 153 00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:26,870 vehicle space that's going to transform the North American 154 00:08:26,870 --> 00:08:29,120 landscape. It's a new comprehensive 155 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,559 electric vehicle charging network set to span across the 156 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,480 United States and Canada. This is a joint venture backed 157 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,559 by some of the largest players in the auto industry, including 158 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:45,600 BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and 159 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,880 Stalantis. These industry leaders are 160 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,400 coming together with the aim of making EV charging as convenient 161 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,320 as possible for users. This will revolutionize how we 162 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,100 charge our EV's. Now in addition to that, we'll 163 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,140 also be discussing Rivian, another EV maker. 164 00:09:01,540 --> 00:09:04,500 Now this is about the CEO of Rivian, and they share their 165 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,380 perspective on companies that are truly committed to renewable 166 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:10,300 energy and the importance of consumers understanding the 167 00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:13,300 source of their power consumption, where everything 168 00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:15,660 comes from. We'll take a little dive into 169 00:09:15,660 --> 00:09:18,580 that and also the future of EV charging. 170 00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:22,220 So there's a lot to uncover in today's episode, and I promise 171 00:09:22,220 --> 00:09:25,650 that it'll be a nice, thought provoking discussion that you 172 00:09:25,650 --> 00:09:27,370 won't want to miss. So stay with us. 173 00:09:27,570 --> 00:09:29,850 We'll take a quick break for some important messages from our 174 00:09:29,850 --> 00:09:33,290 sponsors and we'll be back to delve deeper into these 175 00:09:33,290 --> 00:09:36,370 developments in the electric vehicle industry. 176 00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:38,690 All right, welcome back, everybody. 177 00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:42,250 This is a major step for electrification in the auto 178 00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:44,850 industry. This is a global consortium of 179 00:09:44,850 --> 00:09:49,690 automakers comprising of BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, 180 00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:54,210 Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Solantis and this is a joint venture to 181 00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:58,050 build a comprehensive EV charging network across the US 182 00:09:58,170 --> 00:10:00,890 and Canada. This is a formidable grouping, 183 00:10:01,170 --> 00:10:03,450 currently unnamed. They don't have a name yet, and 184 00:10:03,450 --> 00:10:05,650 they. Pledged to erect user friendly 185 00:10:05,650 --> 00:10:08,850 DC fast chargers along the highways and within urban 186 00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:12,930 environments of the US and Canada, the plan aims to install 187 00:10:12,930 --> 00:10:17,170 at least 30,000 high speed EV chargers by 20-30, with the 188 00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:20,370 initial one set to become operational by the summer of 189 00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:24,500 2024 in the US. Now, to fulfill this goal, this 190 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,220 group intends to harness the national electric vehicle 191 00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:33,300 infrastructure or the NEVI funding in the US and draw from 192 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:37,300 both private and public funding at the state and federal levels. 193 00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:39,580 So they're getting the government and the taxpayers to 194 00:10:39,580 --> 00:10:42,260 pay for most of this. And the current EV charging 195 00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:47,100 landscape is mainly Tesla Superchargers and Electrify 196 00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:50,500 America stations dotted all across the United States. 197 00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:54,610 Now these stations are typically installed in strategic locations 198 00:10:54,930 --> 00:10:58,290 where people can shop, they can go out to eat, or they can use 199 00:10:58,290 --> 00:11:00,690 restrooms. And in line with this, the 200 00:11:00,690 --> 00:11:04,170 proposed new chargers will be positioned along routes leading 201 00:11:04,170 --> 00:11:07,610 to holiday destinations and within major city limits. 202 00:11:08,290 --> 00:11:11,650 Now, these new charging stations promise seamless connection and 203 00:11:11,650 --> 00:11:15,170 charging capabilities for EV models manufactured by the 204 00:11:15,170 --> 00:11:17,970 partner automakers. This eliminates the need for 205 00:11:17,970 --> 00:11:21,050 consumers to navigate between different charging station 206 00:11:21,050 --> 00:11:25,010 applications, thereby ensuring a smooth user experience. 207 00:11:25,530 --> 00:11:28,850 The venture also seems to incorporate the emerging plug 208 00:11:28,930 --> 00:11:32,170 and charge standard that the Federal Highway Administration 209 00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:37,290 is striving to standardize, Mary Bera, the CEO of General Motors. 210 00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:40,290 Voiced her support for the initiative, saying the better 211 00:11:40,290 --> 00:11:44,010 experience people have, the faster EV adoption will grow. 212 00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:47,420 She pointed to the current issue plaguing many charging networks, 213 00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,980 which require unique apps and suffer from reliability 214 00:11:50,980 --> 00:11:53,780 concerns. Notably, Tesla's Supercharger 215 00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:56,700 network hailed us among the best globally will accommodate 216 00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:00,820 vehicles from automakers including Ford, GM, Volvo and 217 00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:04,700 more, all without necessitating activation via an app. 218 00:12:05,410 --> 00:12:07,970 In line with global sustainability initiatives, the 219 00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:11,250 joint venture plans to have its operation fully powered by 220 00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:14,130 renewable energy. Although it's unclear whether 221 00:12:14,130 --> 00:12:17,290 the renewable energy will directly power the stations or 222 00:12:17,290 --> 00:12:19,410 whether the companies will purchase credits. 223 00:12:19,690 --> 00:12:22,810 Is eco conscious approach is indicative of the industry's 224 00:12:22,810 --> 00:12:25,690 increasing shift towards sustainable practices. 225 00:12:25,970 --> 00:12:29,090 Now Canadians are great Neighbors to the North will have 226 00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:32,290 to wait until a later stage before the initial charging 227 00:12:32,290 --> 00:12:34,880 stations are installed. All stations will include 228 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,320 standardized Tesla North American Charging standard 229 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,760 ports, the NECS and the widely used Combined Charging System 230 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,320 plugs, the CS. This announcement comes at a 231 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,040 time when the environmental credentials of companies are 232 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,240 under scrutiny. Now the Rivian CEO expresses 233 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,640 frustration at companies overstating their green 234 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,240 achievements. He believes consumers can't 235 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,720 discern the difference, and the companies often hide the true 236 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,120 source of their power consumption, he said. 237 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,320 This is just so conceptually complex, drawing a clear line 238 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,000 between companies that invest in renewable energy to offset their 239 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,800 emissions and those who merely want to pay a teeny little 240 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,680 incremental amount more to get the ability to pat ourselves on 241 00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,160 the back and say we're using renewable energy. 242 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,480 That's what they said. Now they position Rivian as a 243 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,120 company that aspires not only to offset its own carbon emission, 244 00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:30,380 but also to contribute to the creation of new renewable energy 245 00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:32,820 capabilities. This commitment led him to 246 00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:36,220 support the development of a new solar energy center in Kentucky 247 00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:38,340 built the top of former coal mine. 248 00:13:39,140 --> 00:13:43,100 Now the mine Starfire, once bustling with miners hauling 249 00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:46,020 millions of tons of coal annually, is set to be 250 00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:50,580 transformed into a solar farm, aiming to generate 800 megawatts 251 00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:55,220 of energy, enough to power 160,000 homes per year. 252 00:13:55,950 --> 00:13:59,350 Bright Night, a company based in Florida, which is a solar 253 00:13:59,350 --> 00:14:01,750 company, is additionally constructing A10 mile 254 00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:05,790 transmission line to add another GW of power capabilities in the 255 00:14:05,790 --> 00:14:08,150 future. A Rivian has committed to 256 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:11,590 purchasing 100 megawatts of energy from the project under a 257 00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:15,430 virtual power Purchase agreement, the PA, which means 258 00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:20,150 the power is clean energy and it won't directly power Rivian's 259 00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:23,110 electric vehicles or its corporate infrastructure. 260 00:14:23,150 --> 00:14:28,350 However, it will contribute to powering up to 450,000,000 miles 261 00:14:28,350 --> 00:14:31,590 of renewable driving every year. Now, the commitment to renewable 262 00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:33,310 energy doesn't stop with Rivian, though. 263 00:14:33,710 --> 00:14:36,590 Other automakers like Solantis and Mercedes-Benz have also 264 00:14:36,590 --> 00:14:40,350 signed on to virtual Ppa's to help meet their sustainability 265 00:14:40,350 --> 00:14:42,750 goals. Now, virtual Ppa's are growing 266 00:14:42,750 --> 00:14:46,590 in popularity amongst American corporations, and in 2021, 267 00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:51,330 corporations purchased a record 31.1 gigawatts of clean energy, 268 00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:55,850 which was over 10% of all new renewable energy capabilities 269 00:14:56,170 --> 00:15:00,210 added worldwide that year. Tech giants like Amazon, Meta, 270 00:15:00,490 --> 00:15:03,330 Microsoft, and Google accounted for more than half of those 271 00:15:03,330 --> 00:15:07,730 agreements. Now, the Rivian CEO asserted 272 00:15:07,730 --> 00:15:11,010 that without these virtual Ppa's, many renewable energy 273 00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:12,930 projects wouldn't even get off the ground. 274 00:15:13,210 --> 00:15:16,830 The commitment to the purchase power for these projects ensures 275 00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:20,230 their financial viability and their completion, and Rivian's 276 00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:23,310 commitment to the solar project in Kentucky shows that they're 277 00:15:23,310 --> 00:15:26,270 in it for the long haul. Rivian also champions 278 00:15:26,270 --> 00:15:28,670 transparency and reporting environmental impact. 279 00:15:28,950 --> 00:15:32,030 It's striving to achieve Scope 3 neutrality. 280 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:34,910 This is an objective that means the company aims to eliminate 281 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:38,830 all indirect emissions from its supply chain and the life cycle 282 00:15:38,830 --> 00:15:42,590 of the Ev's it produces. Moreover, Rivian plans to offer 283 00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:46,150 a package allowing drivers to match their charging regardless 284 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:48,470 of location with renewable energy Now. 285 00:15:48,790 --> 00:15:51,790 This commitment to offsetting carbon emissions positions 286 00:15:51,790 --> 00:15:54,870 Rivian as an industry leader in the shift towards renewable 287 00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:57,510 energy. Now this collective venture of 288 00:15:57,510 --> 00:16:01,550 global automakers to build this new EV charging network is a 289 00:16:01,550 --> 00:16:06,510 huge move and this will electrify an eco conscious 290 00:16:06,510 --> 00:16:09,230 future for the automotive industry. 291 00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:13,010 Now the commitments towards renewable energy signals a shift 292 00:16:13,010 --> 00:16:16,610 towards sustainable practices in the automotive sector that we've 293 00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:20,570 never seen before and hopefully will help promote wider EV 294 00:16:20,570 --> 00:16:23,250 adoption in the future.

So thanks so much everybody. 301 00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:40,460 Please take care of yourselves and each other and I will see 302 00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:42,420 you in the next one. And then in this update, we're 303 00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:44,100 going to be the Starship program. 304 00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:47,780 And after the initial Starship launch ended in a dramatic 305 00:16:47,780 --> 00:16:50,820 explosion above the Gulf of Mexico, the company's forward 306 00:16:50,820 --> 00:16:53,020 momentum has stalled on the launch front. 307 00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:55,820 Three months have passed since the incident and the company's 308 00:16:55,820 --> 00:16:59,620 yet to submit a final accident report to the Federal Aviation 309 00:16:59,620 --> 00:17:03,620 Administration or the FAA. Now this indicates that the 310 00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:07,819 rocket program remains grounded for now, and the second launch 311 00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:13,270 may not happen this summer, unlike what Elon Musk has said 312 00:17:13,630 --> 00:17:16,670 now overseeing the investigation into April 20th launch. 313 00:17:16,990 --> 00:17:20,790 The FAA stated on Wednesday that it still awaits the critical 314 00:17:20,790 --> 00:17:25,150 report that will identify the necessary corrective measures 315 00:17:25,349 --> 00:17:28,670 SpaceX must undertake before gaining clearance for another 316 00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:31,310 launch from Boca Chica Starbase, Texas. 317 00:17:31,580 --> 00:17:34,940 And an FA spokesperson avoided conjecture regarding the 318 00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:37,860 potential completion date for the agency's investigation, 319 00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,540 explaining that public safety and actions yet to be taken by 320 00:17:41,540 --> 00:17:44,220 SpaceX. Will dictate the timeline. 321 00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:48,300 Now, according to the FA, any return to flight operations will 322 00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:51,740 only be sanctioned when it is determined that any system, 323 00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:55,580 process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect 324 00:17:55,580 --> 00:17:58,580 public safety or any other aspect of the operator's 325 00:17:58,580 --> 00:18:00,420 license. Now, they emphasize that the 326 00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:03,780 mishap investigation is still ongoing, though now adding to 327 00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:08,300 the situation's complexity. SpaceX is also trying to modify 328 00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:12,340 its current license, which was suspended after the first 329 00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:15,500 launch. Now, despite these regulatory 330 00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:19,300 roadblocks, though, Elon Musk and SpaceX are projecting a 331 00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:21,460 swift return to launching operations. 332 00:18:21,820 --> 00:18:25,060 The company, which is held privately, has been showcasing 333 00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:27,840 repairs to its orbital launch mount now. 334 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,560 This facility sustained significant damage from 335 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,960 starships first launch, raising public safety and environmental 336 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,240 concerns. The rocket, after a chaotic 337 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,360 liftoff and loss of control, was annihilated over the Gulf of 338 00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:44,360 Mexico and while dealing with the aftermath, SpaceX has made 339 00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,600 enhancements to its launch site. Among the new editions is a 340 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,600 steel plate designed to shield the pad in future test launches. 341 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,640 Last week, the company shared on Twitter that it transported a 342 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,400 new super heavy booster prototype to the pad. 343 00:18:57,670 --> 00:19:02,110 For testing ahead of Flight A Continuing its updates on 344 00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:05,790 Monday, SpaceX revealed that it's completed propellant load 345 00:19:05,790 --> 00:19:09,270 tests on two different boosters, Booster 9 and Booster 10. 346 00:19:09,630 --> 00:19:12,750 Images displayed the boosters glazed with frost after being 347 00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:15,150 filled with liquid methane and liquid oxygen. 348 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:19,150 The absence of a completed investigation report and the FAE 349 00:19:19,150 --> 00:19:22,950 approval for another launch suggest that Musk's timeline for 350 00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:26,150 resuming test flights may be overly optimistic. 351 00:19:26,550 --> 00:19:29,590 Musk, who's also responsible for Tesla, the Boring Company 352 00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:33,790 Nurlink Operations, as well as Twitter, has stated on June 13th 353 00:19:33,790 --> 00:19:37,670 that the Starship would be ready for another launch within 6 to 8 354 00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:42,110 weeks, aligning with the end of July or early August time frame. 355 00:19:42,910 --> 00:19:46,270 A SpaceX Starship, the world's most powerful rocket, was 356 00:19:46,270 --> 00:19:49,510 launched from its Starbase facility at Boca Chica on April 357 00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:52,150 20th of this year. It managed to clear the launch 358 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:57,240 tower, which Elon Musk said was a hope at most and at recent 359 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,560 altitude, of 24 miles above Earth before culminating in an 360 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,000 uncontrolled explosion over the Gulf of Mexico. 361 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,200 At liftoff, though, the Rockets 33 Raptor engines fired up, but 362 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,400 there were only 31 that were actually firing, and they also 363 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,240 fired chunks of concrete and metal from the launch site 364 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,960 across 385 acres, igniting wildfires and kicking up a dust 365 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,080 storm of pulverized concrete, scattering debris. 366 00:20:24,490 --> 00:20:27,770 Possibly up to 6.5 miles away from the launch site. 367 00:20:28,090 --> 00:20:31,730 Must conceded the launch had caused an unforeseen rock 368 00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:34,690 tornado under the Starship Super Heavy, his booster stage during 369 00:20:34,690 --> 00:20:37,930 liftoff and despite the havoc, he insisted there were no 370 00:20:37,930 --> 00:20:39,610 significant environmental damage. 371 00:20:39,970 --> 00:20:41,930 And since the launch, SpaceX has progressed. 372 00:20:41,930 --> 00:20:45,330 At the launch compound has been closely monitored, and since the 373 00:20:45,330 --> 00:20:49,770 three months this Starship debuted, SpaceX has made a huge 374 00:20:49,810 --> 00:20:53,640 amount of progress on the hardware of the boosters and the 375 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,000 ships, and also on the launch site ground systems down to 376 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,280 Starbase, Boca Chicas, Texas. Now, despite the optimism, 377 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,200 SpaceX still has legal hurdles to overcome before resuming 378 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,040 flight testing from Starbase. Along with the FAA, SpaceX is a 379 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,960 codefendant in a federal lawsuit contesting the FA A's initial 380 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,440 approval of the Starship launch program, and the suit was filed 381 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,800 by environmental and indigenous groups that challenge the FA A's 382 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,480 review and approval of Spacex's plans. 383 00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:25,060 The plaintiffs are pushing for the agency to carry out an 384 00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:28,460 environmental impact statement, a process that can potentially 385 00:21:28,460 --> 00:21:31,660 ground the rocket program for many years to come. 386 00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:35,260 Now, the suit alleges that the F approval violated federal laws, 387 00:21:35,380 --> 00:21:38,340 including the National Environmental Policy Act, due to 388 00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:41,260 an adequate consideration of potential harm to wildlife. 389 00:21:41,540 --> 00:21:44,340 The FA and SpaceX have largely denied these allegations and 390 00:21:44,340 --> 00:21:47,300 court filings and have requested the lawsuit's dismissal. 391 00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:50,140 SpaceX is the most valuable aerospace and defense company in 392 00:21:50,140 --> 00:21:53,020 the United States, and the company has asked to intervene 393 00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:56,940 in the lawsuit, citing a direct subsequential economic interest. 394 00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:00,620 Now Musk has stated the SpaceX has invested 3 billion dollars 395 00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:04,020 since 2014 and developing the Starbase facility, and the 396 00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:06,620 facility is pivotal to the company's growth though, with 397 00:22:06,620 --> 00:22:08,900 plans to use Starship for launching more Star Link 398 00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:12,260 satellites into orbit and returning NASA astronauts to the 399 00:22:12,260 --> 00:22:16,340 moon with the Artemis 3 program. Musk also has ambitions to use 400 00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:20,180 the reusable rocket to transport human beings to Mars for the 401 00:22:20,180 --> 00:22:22,750 first time. Now, after the initial Starship 402 00:22:22,750 --> 00:22:25,710 launch, Musk stood edit this out. 403 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:28,870 After the initial Starship launch, Musk said he expected to 404 00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:32,750 spend an additional $2 billion on the rocket program, hoping to 405 00:22:32,750 --> 00:22:36,030 attempt at least five launches by the end of 2023. 406 00:22:36,510 --> 00:22:40,910 However, the test is in limbo right now, and NASA has actually 407 00:22:40,910 --> 00:22:44,710 voiced concerned over Spacex's ability to have its lunar Lander 408 00:22:44,710 --> 00:22:47,470 version of Starship ready in time to carry astronauts to the 409 00:22:47,470 --> 00:22:49,550 moon. According to the space agency 410 00:22:49,550 --> 00:22:53,060 schedule in early June, NASA indicated that it's Artemis 3 411 00:22:53,060 --> 00:22:57,180 moon mission originally planned for late 2025, is likely to be 412 00:22:57,180 --> 00:23:02,220 postponed until 2026 due to Spacex's complications with the 413 00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:05,820 Starship program. NASA's associate administrator 414 00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:08,340 Jim Free commented on the situation. 415 00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:11,620 They said with the difficulties the SpaceX has had, that's 416 00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:14,790 really concerning. Meta Platforms, who was led by 417 00:23:14,790 --> 00:23:18,070 CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is strategizing on how to boost 418 00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:20,750 user retention on the recent launch of Threads. 419 00:23:20,950 --> 00:23:24,870 The direct rival of Twitter, now the text based social media app, 420 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:28,430 experienced a significant user dropoff following its highly 421 00:23:28,430 --> 00:23:31,990 anticipated debut, according to a statement by Zuckerberg during 422 00:23:31,990 --> 00:23:33,830 an internal town hall on Thursday. 423 00:23:34,270 --> 00:23:37,630 Despite a falloff in engagement, the company's leadership noted 424 00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:40,550 that the user retention rate is above expectations. 425 00:23:40,830 --> 00:23:43,550 Although not without room for improvement and the app 426 00:23:43,550 --> 00:23:46,390 experienced A surge of signups at launch with numbers exceeding 427 00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:50,870 100 million, the retaining these users proved very challenging 428 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:54,150 for meta, Zuckerberg stated. We have more than 100 million 429 00:23:54,150 --> 00:23:57,070 people sign up and it would be incredible if all of them, or 430 00:23:57,070 --> 00:24:00,230 even half of them stuck around. We are not there yet. 431 00:24:00,350 --> 00:24:04,390 Nonetheless, the CEO termed this dropoff as a normal trend in app 432 00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:06,070 usage. Following the initial excitement 433 00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:09,590 of a new product launched, he further predicted an increase in 434 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:12,050 user retention. As a company plans to introduce 435 00:24:12,050 --> 00:24:15,650 new features to Thread soon. This includes a desktop version 436 00:24:15,650 --> 00:24:18,890 of the app and advanced search functionality to enhance user 437 00:24:18,890 --> 00:24:21,090 experience. Now struggling to implement more 438 00:24:21,090 --> 00:24:24,570 retention driving hooks, Meta aims to encourage users to 439 00:24:24,570 --> 00:24:26,250 continuously engage with the app. 440 00:24:26,530 --> 00:24:28,930 One proposed strategy was mentioned by the company's Chief 441 00:24:28,930 --> 00:24:32,730 Product Officer, Chris Cox, who suggested integrating threads 442 00:24:32,730 --> 00:24:35,650 with Instagram, ensuring important threads are visible to 443 00:24:35,730 --> 00:24:38,570 Instagram users. The company, however, declined 444 00:24:38,570 --> 00:24:41,750 to comment further. On that matter now, Medis 445 00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:44,430 executives share their insights a day after presenting an 446 00:24:44,430 --> 00:24:47,350 optimistic growth revenue forecast that impressed 447 00:24:47,350 --> 00:24:49,950 investors, signifying a potential turnaround for the 448 00:24:49,950 --> 00:24:52,470 tech company. Now, the firm faced criticism 449 00:24:52,470 --> 00:24:55,870 over its substantial investment in the Metaverse in 2020, an 450 00:24:55,870 --> 00:24:59,670 investment that coincided with a downturn in advertisement sales. 451 00:24:59,990 --> 00:25:04,070 This revenue forecast disclosure boosted Medishares by 8% on 452 00:25:04,070 --> 00:25:07,150 Thursday, indicating renewed investor confidence. 453 00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:09,910 Now, Zuckerberg expressed optimism about the company's 454 00:25:09,910 --> 00:25:13,710 progress in developing augmented and virtual reality technologies 455 00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:16,870 that willpower the Metaverse. He affirmed that they were not 456 00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:19,630 significantly ahead, but progressing as planned. 457 00:25:19,870 --> 00:25:22,630 CEO highlighted the importance of investing in these 458 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:26,070 technologies early, especially given the competition from tech 459 00:25:26,070 --> 00:25:30,150 giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, Zuckerberg said. 460 00:25:30,350 --> 00:25:33,190 We have to have all the tools ready for when this is ready for 461 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:35,830 prime time. The company also drew attention 462 00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:38,840 to its artificial. Intelligence model Lama Two 463 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,320 which was released earlier this month. 464 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,760 It is freely available for commercial use to any developer 465 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,320 with services having fewer than 700 million users. 466 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,520 And according to Cox, the model has already received over 467 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,520 150,000 download requests in the week following its release. 468 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,000 Following its record-breaking launch Threads, has faced 469 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,280 dwindling user engagement, however, rival Elon Musk, who 470 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,060 acquired Twitter last year. Should not start celebrating 471 00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:06,420 quite yet. On Wednesday, Zuckerberg shared 472 00:26:06,420 --> 00:26:10,220 Meta's comprehensive plan to enhance threads and eventually 473 00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:12,700 overpower Twitter in the social media landscape. 474 00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:15,980 He said we have a lot of basic work to do now. 475 00:26:15,980 --> 00:26:18,140 The CEO highlighted the importance of testing and 476 00:26:18,140 --> 00:26:21,660 introducing features the users enjoy, while simultaneously 477 00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:25,420 ensuring that these features encourage consistent app usage. 478 00:26:25,780 --> 00:26:29,140 And Zuckerberg also pointed out that while threads had seen a 479 00:26:29,140 --> 00:26:32,440 user drop off. Its monetization was not an 480 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,280 immediate concern. The focus for now was on scaling 481 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,080 the user base to hundreds of 1,000,000 Threads emerge as an 482 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,280 alternative Twitter, especially following Musk's radical changes 483 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,600 to the platform after his $44 billion acquisition. 484 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,600 And this caused a portion of Twitter's user base to seek 485 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,600 other platforms for real time online Conversations developed 486 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,480 in less than six months with a team of just 15 engineers. 487 00:26:56,900 --> 00:26:59,820 Threads recorded over 100 million users within a week of 488 00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:02,980 its launch and unprecedented achievement for a social media 489 00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:05,020 app. And despite the current lull in 490 00:27:05,020 --> 00:27:07,940 user engagement, Meta remains optimistic about Threads. 491 00:27:07,940 --> 00:27:10,780 Future The company plans to introduce several updates in the 492 00:27:10,780 --> 00:27:13,420 coming months and years. One recent update includes a 493 00:27:13,420 --> 00:27:16,820 follow content feed now discussing Metas, track record 494 00:27:16,820 --> 00:27:19,580 and standalone app development. Zuckerberg acknowledged the 495 00:27:19,580 --> 00:27:23,540 company's limited success beyond original services like Facebook 496 00:27:23,540 --> 00:27:26,180 and acquired platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp. 497 00:27:26,590 --> 00:27:29,630 And taking cues from venture capital strategies, where 498 00:27:29,830 --> 00:27:32,510 several investments are made with only a few yielding 499 00:27:32,510 --> 00:27:36,310 substantial returns, he suggested that Threads could be 500 00:27:36,310 --> 00:27:38,710 their rare success. The CEO attributed the 501 00:27:38,750 --> 00:27:41,830 opportunity to the controversial changes on Twitter under Musk's 502 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:44,830 leadership, he said. I'm optimistic about where we 503 00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:48,950 are, and it's a long road ahead. There's a journey for Zuckerberg 504 00:27:49,030 --> 00:27:53,150 and the Threads team, and that journey is to have the first 505 00:27:53,150 --> 00:27:57,250 social discourse app. To reach 1 billion users, it's 506 00:27:57,250 --> 00:28:00,250 in a huge, huge announcement from TikTok, the social media 507 00:28:00,250 --> 00:28:03,770 giant, they've unveiled a feature that permits users to 508 00:28:03,770 --> 00:28:07,050 post text only content. This marks a significant 509 00:28:07,050 --> 00:28:10,010 milestone for TikTok, opening up a whole new channel of 510 00:28:10,010 --> 00:28:13,890 communication and storytelling for its community of video 511 00:28:13,890 --> 00:28:15,970 makers. Now the strategic move widely 512 00:28:15,970 --> 00:28:20,010 regarded as a challenge directly to Elon Musk's rebranded social 513 00:28:20,010 --> 00:28:22,890 media venture X, which is previously known as Twitter. 514 00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:26,700 Places the Chinese app at the forefront of the dynamic digital 515 00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:29,620 world's evolution and as of Monday, Tik Tok's creators have 516 00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:32,500 an additional string to their bow of content creation 517 00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:35,140 capabilities. The new feature allows creators 518 00:28:35,140 --> 00:28:37,700 to opt for a text only format in their posts. 519 00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:40,900 This pioneering change aligns perfectly with Tik Tok's 520 00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:44,380 missions to broaden options for creators and facilitate their 521 00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:47,460 creative process along the way. It provides them with more 522 00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:50,780 freedom and flexibility and how they share their ideas. 523 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,920 A representative from TikTok said text posts are a game 524 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,360 changing feature, expanding the boundaries of content creation 525 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,560 for everyone at TikTok, and they aim to give the written 526 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,320 creativity which was once confined to the margins and 527 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,040 comments, captions and within the videos themselves. 528 00:29:09,410 --> 00:29:12,610 Now they have a dedicated space on the platform. 529 00:29:12,770 --> 00:29:15,890 In this modern era where video and image content predominantly 530 00:29:15,890 --> 00:29:19,170 command attention, Tik Tok's latest update is a testament to 531 00:29:19,170 --> 00:29:21,810 the company's recognition of the power in appeal of the written 532 00:29:21,810 --> 00:29:23,890 word. A platform has always been a 533 00:29:23,890 --> 00:29:27,370 powerhouse of creative content, with users leveraging its tools 534 00:29:27,370 --> 00:29:30,490 to share personal stories, choreographed dances, comedic 535 00:29:30,490 --> 00:29:33,840 skits and much more. And the introduction of text 536 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,080 posts only extends this creative range, facilitating new ways for 537 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,440 users to share everything from poignant stories to recipes to 538 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,920 poems. Now, Tik Tok's Text Post feature 539 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,280 offers a simple and straightforward creation 540 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,800 process. Users can navigate to the camera 541 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,440 page, which previously offered photo and video content creation 542 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,160 options. Alongside these options sticks a 543 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,350 new text option. And selecting this directs the 544 00:30:00,350 --> 00:30:03,790 user to a dedicated text creation page where they can 545 00:30:03,790 --> 00:30:06,550 pour their thoughts and creativity into the text of 546 00:30:06,550 --> 00:30:09,390 their posts. Now, despite the textual focus, 547 00:30:09,550 --> 00:30:12,470 the new text posts are by no means static or dull. 548 00:30:12,750 --> 00:30:15,870 On the post page, users can discover a host of enhancement 549 00:30:15,870 --> 00:30:19,510 options to make their text posts as dynamic or interactive as 550 00:30:19,510 --> 00:30:22,890 their video or photo posts. They can add sound to their text 551 00:30:22,890 --> 00:30:26,530 posts, a feature that keeps true to TikTok score experience and 552 00:30:26,530 --> 00:30:28,570 can elevate the post tone or the mood. 553 00:30:28,730 --> 00:30:30,890 Location. Tagging and enabling comments 554 00:30:30,890 --> 00:30:34,530 and duets make the text posts interactive, while stickers and 555 00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:38,090 a variety of background colors and a visual element, making the 556 00:30:38,090 --> 00:30:40,290 text posts appealing and distinctive. 557 00:30:40,690 --> 00:30:44,450 And perhaps what are the best features of this new iteration 558 00:30:44,650 --> 00:30:46,810 is a direct challenge to Musk's X. 559 00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:51,130 It's the ability for text posts to include tags and hashtags. 560 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,520 Users can tag other TikTok accounts, a valuable tool for 561 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,440 collaborative content creation, or to credit sources or 562 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,120 inspiration. And the hashtags allow creators 563 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,720 to connect their content with trending topics or threads, 564 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,600 decreasing the reach and visibility within the broader 565 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320 TikTok community. TikTok, owned by Chinese 566 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,040 multinational technology company Byte Dance, has been soaring in 567 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,040 popularity across the globe and in contrast, Musk's takeover of 568 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,560 Twitter, now known as X in October, has been tumultuous. 569 00:31:20,910 --> 00:31:24,870 His 10 year has witnessed a wave of layoffs, A precipitous drop 570 00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:28,190 in advertising revenue, and a series of controversial changes 571 00:31:28,190 --> 00:31:32,110 to the platform's verification policy, stirring unease within 572 00:31:32,110 --> 00:31:35,150 the company's platform and the user base. 573 00:31:35,510 --> 00:31:38,950 Now the landscape of social media platforms is evolving and 574 00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:42,070 companies relentlessly innovate to retain their users and 575 00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:44,990 attract new ones. And the launch of Tik Tok's Text 576 00:31:45,030 --> 00:31:48,990 Only Post feature may therefore come as a significant blow to 577 00:31:48,990 --> 00:31:51,410 Musk and X. As it gives TikTok a 578 00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:55,250 considerable edge in terms of user engagement and content 579 00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:57,410 diversity. However, the challenges that 580 00:31:57,410 --> 00:32:02,090 Musk faces do not end with TikTok Meta, Facebook's parent 581 00:32:02,090 --> 00:32:05,370 company, has recently made its foray into the social media 582 00:32:05,370 --> 00:32:08,250 rivalry with a launch of Threads, a new platform that 583 00:32:08,250 --> 00:32:10,930 seems to have struck A chord with users worldwide. 584 00:32:11,330 --> 00:32:14,450 Now the site reported a staggering 100 million user sign 585 00:32:14,450 --> 00:32:17,170 ups in its inaugural week, signaling A potentially 586 00:32:17,170 --> 00:32:19,410 disruptive player in the social media domain. 587 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,760 Meanwhile, in the midst of these significant shifts, Musk 588 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,120 initiated a new chapter for Twitter on Monday, rebranding it 589 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,160 as X, complete with a fresh website domain and a new logo, 590 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,360 And it's yet unclear what impact this rebranding will have on the 591 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,040 platform's user base and its future growth. 592 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,040 However, it certainly cements the notion that the world of 593 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,280 social media is still in a state of flux, and these platforms 594 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,040 must constantly innovate to stay relevant and competitive. 595 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,720 Talks text post feature. While seeming simple at first 596 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,880 glance could have far reaching implications for the platform in 597 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,760 the social media landscape as a whole. 598 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,640 By acknowledging and celebrating the power of the written word, 599 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,960 TikTok may inspire a new wave of creators who prefer expressing 600 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,400 themselves through text. And for the community of 601 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040 writers, poets, critics and thinkers who might have found 602 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,160 the video centric nature of TikTok daunting or ill fitting 603 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,040 to their mode of expression, this is a welcome change. 604 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,040 And at the same time, for existing TikTok creators, the 605 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,480 feature adds another layer to their content creation 606 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,800 abilities. Again, now complement the videos 607 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,960 with written content, providing more context, reflections or 608 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,120 narrative to their followers. This can potentially enhance the 609 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,600 engagement and resonance of their content. 610 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,920 A Tik Tok's latest innovation reiterates its commitment to 611 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,160 empowering creators and enhancing the user experience 612 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,880 over there. As the platform steps into the 613 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,970 textual content sphere, it remains to be seen how it will 614 00:33:43,970 --> 00:33:47,290 compete with X and Metas threads. 615 00:33:47,490 --> 00:33:50,770 Now these innovations will continue to happen and these 616 00:33:51,050 --> 00:33:53,610 platforms will continue to. Compete for the foreseeable 617 00:33:53,610 --> 00:33:57,370 future and the race is on for the most dominant social media 618 00:33:57,370 --> 00:33:59,930 platform on the planet. Thank you so much for listening 619 00:33:59,930 --> 00:34:02,530 to the show today. I appreciate all of you out 620 00:34:02,530 --> 00:34:04,850 there. So please, if you could take a 621 00:34:04,850 --> 00:34:07,130 second and hit the subscribe or follow button on whatever 622 00:34:07,130 --> 00:34:09,810 podcast platform you're on right now, greatly appreciate the 623 00:34:09,810 --> 00:34:11,130 help. We're going to be talking about 624 00:34:11,130 --> 00:34:12,570 Starbase. We're going to be talking a 625 00:34:12,570 --> 00:34:15,130 little bit about Falcon Heavy and the upcoming mission on the 626 00:34:15,130 --> 00:34:19,690 26th, and we're also going to be talking about SpaceX and 627 00:34:20,010 --> 00:34:23,330 whatever comes to our mind. So first, there's nothing 628 00:34:23,330 --> 00:34:24,810 happening at Starbase. No. 629 00:34:24,850 --> 00:34:28,690 And no testing happening. Nothing happening at Starbase. 630 00:34:28,850 --> 00:34:30,409 There's a bunch of stuff happening at Starbase, but 631 00:34:30,409 --> 00:34:32,760 there's no testing. Larger testing and like 632 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,880 cryogenic testing or things that could close down the roadways 633 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,639 for the foreseeable future. Closures were canceled for the 634 00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:42,480 24th and the 25th of this week, so we're going to be moving on 635 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,600 hopefully to maybe later this week, I'm 100% sure about that. 636 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,679 But they already did some testing on booster and they've 637 00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:52,320 already done a bunch of testing on the ship. 638 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,679 So it seems like the next step would be to maybe. 639 00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,600 I don't even know what the next step would be because they have 640 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,360 the whole deluge system they have the OLM is. 641 00:35:01,820 --> 00:35:05,460 Revamped There's so many things that could happen and we don't 642 00:35:05,460 --> 00:35:07,660 know the procedure for that anymore. 643 00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:12,060 And last week we've seen. Testing on Chip 25 we've seen. 644 00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:17,060 Testing on boosters 9 and 10, the Orbit launch mount also got 645 00:35:17,060 --> 00:35:20,500 tested fully, so we've seen the Dellage system, we've served 646 00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:23,580 like the new plane. At the bottom we've seen the 647 00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:25,700 quick disconnects, both of them working. 648 00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:28,300 The Obviously the chopsticks are working because they lifted up 649 00:35:28,420 --> 00:35:30,100 Booster 9 to put it on the launch mount. 650 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:36,120 So it seems like it's a fully. Functional stage zero. 651 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,960 It looks like it, yeah. It seems like they're in a spot 652 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,880 where they could what they know more now than they did before 653 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,280 the first launch. It seems like they've got the 654 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,680 processes figured out. They have, They've streamlined a 655 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,960 lot of the processes because they need to be able to crank 656 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,400 these things out. They want to launch two or three 657 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,640 a day at some point. We'll. 658 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,920 Have to see that. That would be insane. 659 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,240 I wouldn't know what to think at that point. 660 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,440 Yeah, it's pretty impressive to watch how the last what, three 661 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,880 months, I guess it's been or so since the first one, since the 662 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,960 first orbital attempt and all the changes. 663 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,200 And they're coming out of this way stronger than they went into 664 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,120 it. And it should be really 665 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,400 interesting to see. And as is typical with SpaceX, 666 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,180 once they do something once. They know they've got it and 667 00:36:28,180 --> 00:36:30,780 they move on to the next thing. So they've already launched this 668 00:36:30,780 --> 00:36:33,540 once. It didn't make it to orbit had 669 00:36:33,540 --> 00:36:36,420 some issues but they've already designed it once so they know 670 00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:38,540 what they're doing and now they're just moving on to what 671 00:36:38,540 --> 00:36:41,180 the next stage whatever that is, fixing the over the launch mouth 672 00:36:41,180 --> 00:36:43,660 and all those things tread looking into the hot fire 673 00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:48,140 situation which I'm not exactly sure how that's going to figure 674 00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:50,500 that in the end but. We'll see, yeah. 675 00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:53,300 The separate the stage separation is going to be the 676 00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:56,120 most exciting part. The launch, I think they're 677 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,440 going to be Okay. I don't know. 678 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,080 We're not 100% sure if they're going to be okay with that one, 679 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,760 but the stage separation is going to be wild. 680 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,920 But it's going to. If the engineers and everybody 681 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,280 at SpaceX thinks that's the way to go, it seems like a really 682 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,880 proper way to separate this thing because it is freaking 683 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:14,960 massive. Yeah. 684 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,200 Do you know, do you know if Booster 9 and Ship 25 are set up 685 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,520 for that? I don't believe they are. 686 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,960 I don't believe they're set up for separation. 687 00:37:23,780 --> 00:37:27,420 Elon said something about it in a tweet, but I'm not exactly 688 00:37:27,420 --> 00:37:31,340 sure what he said about it or what booster or ship will be for 689 00:37:31,340 --> 00:37:33,620 a separation like that. It might be, they might have 690 00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:36,300 already set it up, but I like I've seen all the pictures and 691 00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:39,100 the videos and things of the booster I'm. 692 00:37:39,140 --> 00:37:43,220 Sure, but I'm pretty sure it's still in development stage. 693 00:37:43,580 --> 00:37:46,220 Yeah, these two vehicles are designed for it. 694 00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:50,060 Yeah, it seems like a new thing where they're like, ooh, that 695 00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:51,960 didn't work. They'll probably want to test 696 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,240 that masses or something, but want to test a fire on the Dome 697 00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:57,520 to make sure that it's not going to melt through or whatever. 698 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,480 Yeah, I'm trying to get it, I guess, to you. 699 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,600 Yeah, I don't believe that. I don't think these are set up 700 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,560 for sure. Yeah, I don't think so either. 701 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,080 Like you and I were talking before the broadcast started 702 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,280 about the massiveness of this rocket and how, like, how big. 703 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,760 And I always say it like every time I get online, I'm like, 704 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,520 this thing's frigging huge. Yeah, but this shows. 705 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,780 Think about how big your car is. And how big you are. 706 00:38:22,060 --> 00:38:24,700 And then look at the scale of this compared to a vehicle, like 707 00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:27,660 just a regular car. It's absolutely massive. 708 00:38:27,660 --> 00:38:32,220 So getting so crazy, it still blows my mind. 709 00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:35,900 Like I've seen in person, so I know how big it is, but just 710 00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:38,300 even seeing pictures of it, I'm like, okay. 711 00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:41,220 This reminds me how big massive it is. 712 00:38:41,220 --> 00:38:43,700 To think about launching A skyscraper. 713 00:38:43,780 --> 00:38:46,500 They're basically launching A skyscraper to orbit. 714 00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:52,780 And how do they do that 30? 3 Raptor engines and that works 715 00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:55,580 like. That's a lot of fuel. 716 00:38:55,860 --> 00:38:58,660 That's a. Lot of awful, lot of fuel, awful 717 00:38:58,660 --> 00:39:00,780 lot of thrust. And they made. 718 00:39:00,780 --> 00:39:02,900 It off the pad. Last time, so the deluge system 719 00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:05,100 was tested. We know that. 720 00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:06,860 We know the deluge system was tested and it. 721 00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:09,860 Do you think they're going to do a static fire with the deluge 722 00:39:09,860 --> 00:39:13,180 system to test this deluge and the static fire at the same 723 00:39:13,180 --> 00:39:14,500 time? Absolutely. 724 00:39:14,580 --> 00:39:16,140 Yes, absolutely. Yeah. 725 00:39:16,140 --> 00:39:18,380 I was just thinking about that well before we went on as well. 726 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,840 Yeah, I think that every static fire from a booster from now on, 727 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,600 we'll have the deluge running. Yeah, I think so too. 728 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,000 I think it's ongoing testing as well as protection of the launch 729 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,560 map. Yeah, sure. 730 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,840 And as long as obviously the deluge system works and it 731 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,720 doesn't completely need to rip it apart, I get to the Country 732 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,480 class. The Skip real, real quick back 733 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,840 to how big this thing is. Rocket Future Andrew C at the 734 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,700 Rocket Future on Twitter. You can see a person. 735 00:39:47,740 --> 00:39:50,540 This is the this is like 1/4 of the way up this thing. 736 00:39:50,860 --> 00:39:52,780 Yeah. And what a beautiful shot. 737 00:39:53,020 --> 00:39:55,380 A great shot. Yeah. 738 00:39:55,540 --> 00:40:00,620 And I don't even understand how these people have the nerve to 739 00:40:00,620 --> 00:40:03,900 get into this lift, for one. Because I'm afraid. 740 00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,900 Of heights, but two. And then they have to do like 741 00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:09,300 one of the world's most complicated engineering feats. 742 00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:12,860 So they have the pressure of, Oh yeah, I'm 150 feet off the 743 00:40:12,860 --> 00:40:15,070 ground or whatever. So I have to do these things 744 00:40:15,070 --> 00:40:18,830 that are crucial to get this thing off the ground and not 745 00:40:18,830 --> 00:40:20,830 blow up. So, yeah, obviously. 746 00:40:20,830 --> 00:40:23,430 That's the Rocket Garden. I'm not sure exactly what ship 747 00:40:23,550 --> 00:40:25,510 he's working on. My guess in this Booster 10. 748 00:40:25,950 --> 00:40:28,670 I don't know why they would be. Have anybody up on one of the 749 00:40:28,950 --> 00:40:31,230 retired boosters, if you will? Yeah. 750 00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:34,270 My guess is that's Booster 10, but I haven't confirmed that you 751 00:40:34,270 --> 00:40:35,870 just saw that picture just before we go on. 752 00:40:36,510 --> 00:40:40,110 Yeah, shout out to anybody that goes up in these things and 753 00:40:40,110 --> 00:40:43,000 shout out to. Andrew C from The Rocket Future 754 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,840 for taking beautiful shots repeatedly at Starbase. 755 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,560 So at the Rocket Future on Twitter you'll follow him. 756 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,560 Awesome dude. And also awesome shots. 757 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,960 Booster 9, like we said, was lifted up onto the launch mount. 758 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,280 What a beautiful shot to like. How cool is this? 759 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,840 Yeah, gorgeous. They got the shot from below and 760 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,640 also all the stars and above in the sky. 761 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,570 It's such a cool shot. And the lighting on the launch 762 00:41:09,570 --> 00:41:12,730 mount, it makes it look just illuminated and amazing. 763 00:41:12,730 --> 00:41:16,890 And chopstick as you said before they work, which is great. 764 00:41:17,170 --> 00:41:20,090 Apparently they seem to be working fine as can you notice 765 00:41:20,090 --> 00:41:23,450 the there's some cladding at the bottom of the launch tower to 766 00:41:24,090 --> 00:41:25,490 see that there's some. It looks like there's some 767 00:41:25,490 --> 00:41:27,890 reinforcements at the. For sure, yeah. 768 00:41:27,970 --> 00:41:30,250 At the tower, it looks like they figured. 769 00:41:30,490 --> 00:41:31,850 Out. The plan actually was to clad 770 00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:35,690 the entire tower in something, whether it was going to be as 771 00:41:35,730 --> 00:41:38,630 protective as this is. I don't know, but so this 772 00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:39,790 certainly seems to be productive. 773 00:41:40,110 --> 00:41:42,990 I love this shot because it looks like there's camo drawn 774 00:41:42,990 --> 00:41:44,950 all over the Starship because of the shadows. 775 00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:46,750 I. Didn't even notice that. 776 00:41:46,830 --> 00:41:49,350 Who star should say it looks like it looks really futuristic? 777 00:41:49,710 --> 00:41:51,350 Yeah, that's really cool. Yeah. 778 00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:53,790 I didn't even notice that. Wow. 779 00:41:54,590 --> 00:41:56,230 Yeah. And then there's another one 780 00:41:56,230 --> 00:41:58,150 they have from a little bit different angle. 781 00:41:58,870 --> 00:42:01,390 But yeah, it's still the Texas night sky, which is absolutely 782 00:42:01,390 --> 00:42:04,670 beautiful. That's one thing that I can say 783 00:42:04,670 --> 00:42:07,160 about. My time down there is that you 784 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:12,720 could see all the stars, everything, because it was 25 785 00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:14,480 miles away from Brownsville and everything else. 786 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,080 You could look up and you could see everything. 787 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,760 I would spend some nights down there just to get away from the 788 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000 lights of the city and I would just go to the beach late at 789 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,480 night, just hang out, look at the rocket and just stare up at 790 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:28,560 the stars. I would just lay on. 791 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,080 I didn't really lay on the sand because it's you get sand 792 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,880 everywhere. And of course it's just. 793 00:42:33,450 --> 00:42:37,090 Anakin knows it's everywhere, it gets everywhere, and it's 794 00:42:37,090 --> 00:42:40,610 coarse. It's coarsed so. 795 00:42:41,050 --> 00:42:43,530 I lay on my car like late at night, look up at the sky and 796 00:42:43,530 --> 00:42:45,250 just look over. Oh yeah, there's a big rocket. 797 00:42:45,250 --> 00:42:47,410 There, too. But it's a beautiful place, 798 00:42:47,490 --> 00:42:49,130 Yeah. And it's a great place to launch 799 00:42:49,130 --> 00:42:51,410 a rocket, too. Yeah, what a great shot, though. 800 00:42:51,450 --> 00:42:54,930 We're getting into the beauty of all of this as well because 801 00:42:54,930 --> 00:42:57,930 we're like, it's such a cool thing. 802 00:42:58,610 --> 00:43:01,490 That Starship is going to be capable of in the future, 803 00:43:01,610 --> 00:43:05,330 bringing huge loads to space, and it's going to be, it's going 804 00:43:05,330 --> 00:43:08,090 to be wild what happens. I'm not sure whether it's 805 00:43:08,090 --> 00:43:10,210 actually going to happen. I don't know if it's actually 806 00:43:10,210 --> 00:43:13,090 going to happen, but once they've got this thing down pat 807 00:43:13,090 --> 00:43:16,930 and they're launching right, left and center, I hope that 808 00:43:16,930 --> 00:43:20,050 they put some attention to the aesthetics of it all. 809 00:43:21,250 --> 00:43:23,930 Certainly it's a beautiful ship, all stainless steel and pretty, 810 00:43:24,450 --> 00:43:27,450 but it would be nice if we started seeing that. 811 00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:31,460 Science fiction future at some point at once, they've got 812 00:43:31,580 --> 00:43:35,060 they're launching 100 of these a month or whatever they do want 813 00:43:35,060 --> 00:43:37,180 to do. They start to look into it and 814 00:43:37,180 --> 00:43:38,820 go. OK, how can we make this not 815 00:43:38,820 --> 00:43:42,100 only functional but look really awesome as well? 816 00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:45,540 Because that's one thing that society's lost, I think, in the 817 00:43:45,540 --> 00:43:49,740 last 30 years or so, is that aesthetics of things. 818 00:43:50,140 --> 00:43:53,380 We're so concerned about making things as cheap as possible that 819 00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:56,700 we've made it as as industrial as possible as well. 820 00:43:57,140 --> 00:44:00,500 It'll be nice to get back to those servers aesthetic values 821 00:44:00,500 --> 00:44:03,940 of the 50s where you've got the streamlining or shapes and 822 00:44:03,940 --> 00:44:05,460 whatnot. It'd be cool to see that come 823 00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:08,060 back. I don't even think about that 824 00:44:08,060 --> 00:44:09,580 future. So do you think they would, do 825 00:44:09,820 --> 00:44:11,780 you think they would paint the whole rocket or do you think 826 00:44:11,780 --> 00:44:14,100 they would just slap a logo on it or what do you how are you 827 00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:16,420 feeling about this? I don't know what I'm thinking. 828 00:44:16,540 --> 00:44:19,900 I don't know what it is, but maybe the cladding over some of 829 00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:22,620 the plumbing on the booster gets a little bit of a. 830 00:44:23,550 --> 00:44:26,110 A treatment where it's a little bit smoother or a little more 831 00:44:26,110 --> 00:44:30,990 aerodynamics, OK, as opposed to the sort of square, bulky look 832 00:44:30,990 --> 00:44:32,390 that we've got now. I don't know. 833 00:44:33,150 --> 00:44:35,110 I don't know. I'm not responsible for that. 834 00:44:35,550 --> 00:44:37,230 If they want me to be responsible for it, I'm 835 00:44:37,590 --> 00:44:42,590 available to the moment. I hadn't put too much thought 836 00:44:42,590 --> 00:44:45,630 into it. Yeah, no, that sounds awesome, 837 00:44:45,630 --> 00:44:48,270 but I'm just going back. To to, or discussing them 838 00:44:48,270 --> 00:44:50,710 putting the cladding up the tower, right? 839 00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:53,030 Yeah, it's in all the drawings, but they never did it. 840 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,600 Little things like that are even one step closer. 841 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,320 Plus, we're talking about Starbase. 842 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,520 He wants to build a city there, right? 843 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,640 Yeah, That's to support all the launches in construction. 844 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,360 Whatnot's going on down there? And development. 845 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,320 It'd be nice to see Starbase become a little bit more 846 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:14,040 aesthetic than Factory, yeah? Yeah, I think I'll be amazing. 847 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,920 Make it a tourist destination for sure. 848 00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:18,640 Right now it is, but it's like you got to really be end of this 849 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,280 stuff to go down there if you got to sacrifice a little bit to 850 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,840 get down there. Yeah, I think it's something 851 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,280 Kennedy Space Center. It's a. 852 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,040 It's like Disney A. Little bit. 853 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,000 People go there just to go see rockets and stuff that are 854 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,200 interested in Space Flight and engineering. 855 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,080 And maybe just like the unknown people are like, hey, this is a 856 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,840 giant rocket or hey, this is what Saturn does or whatever, 857 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,080 there's engineering and science all over the place down there, 858 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,580 so. The I think this would be a 859 00:45:43,580 --> 00:45:45,540 really cool thing. Have tours of it when they're 860 00:45:45,540 --> 00:45:47,820 not actually launching or when they're not, whether or not 861 00:45:47,820 --> 00:45:49,820 testing. Have a guided tour of the 862 00:45:49,820 --> 00:45:52,300 facility or something like that. I don't know if ITAR would allow 863 00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:56,700 that, but you could have a guided tour along the road and 864 00:45:56,700 --> 00:45:59,980 show people, hey this is this, Bay does this, we're building 865 00:45:59,980 --> 00:46:02,980 this here, blah blah blah. It would also be really cool if 866 00:46:02,980 --> 00:46:06,460 they they could even do that on their socials instead of having 867 00:46:06,460 --> 00:46:09,500 people down there in person. It would be really neat if Elon 868 00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:11,620 did a tour of everything like he did with Tim. 869 00:46:12,180 --> 00:46:14,700 The everyday astronaut. But he does it like for a 870 00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:19,500 produced video for SpaceX, which would be really cool and to show 871 00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:21,940 hey, this is what we do here now, but we want to do this here 872 00:46:21,940 --> 00:46:24,100 too. That would be really interesting 873 00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:26,580 to see too. Absolutely have a manager or 874 00:46:26,580 --> 00:46:28,020 something. It doesn't have to be Elon, but 875 00:46:28,380 --> 00:46:31,460 Elon would get the most that. Has to be Elon, yeah, one of his 876 00:46:31,460 --> 00:46:35,940 clones. Yeah, yeah, maybe Gwen could do 877 00:46:35,940 --> 00:46:36,820 it. That would be cool. 878 00:46:37,180 --> 00:46:38,540 Yeah, yeah. They're not doing anything 879 00:46:38,540 --> 00:46:39,380 right. Yeah. 880 00:46:39,540 --> 00:46:40,660 What's that doing? I think she's not. 881 00:46:40,660 --> 00:46:42,620 I don't mind. Coming out and do a tour for 882 00:46:42,700 --> 00:46:44,060 regular folk. Yeah. 883 00:46:44,060 --> 00:46:46,140 She's not been in the future over there, not at all. 884 00:46:46,820 --> 00:46:47,340 Yeah. Yeah. 885 00:46:47,340 --> 00:46:51,580 So the future Starbase looks pretty bright in the next few, I 886 00:46:51,580 --> 00:46:54,260 don't know. So they're so we were talking 887 00:46:54,260 --> 00:46:56,740 about the processes before and how they've streamlined 888 00:46:56,740 --> 00:46:59,220 everything. But do you think they've 889 00:46:59,220 --> 00:47:02,700 streamlined it to to a better place where they could launch 890 00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:06,340 this in August? I reached out to a few people on 891 00:47:06,340 --> 00:47:10,510 Face or not on Facebook, but on. On YouTube and on Twitter, and a 892 00:47:10,510 --> 00:47:14,790 little bit on Discord. And here's one person old gamer 893 00:47:14,790 --> 00:47:20,710 noob on YouTube said the way the ship was tested with an engine 894 00:47:20,750 --> 00:47:24,590 static fire right off the bat, and with the booster now having 895 00:47:24,590 --> 00:47:28,190 already been fully filled with cryogenic liquids, I'd venture 896 00:47:28,190 --> 00:47:30,990 they'll unify some tests and make quick work of things. 897 00:47:31,230 --> 00:47:34,870 The FAA will be the main hold up this time I think. 898 00:47:36,180 --> 00:47:41,780 So I have to agree that I think the FDA is going to be the last 899 00:47:41,780 --> 00:47:43,780 step. Of course I'm going to do. 900 00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:48,060 Going to show that there it is right there, old game renoob. 901 00:47:49,220 --> 00:47:52,900 Yeah, I believe I'm on record several places back when the 902 00:47:52,900 --> 00:47:56,580 first launch happened and we saw the damage, I said the weekend 903 00:47:56,700 --> 00:48:01,620 of August 19th before our launch and I still stand on that. 904 00:48:01,820 --> 00:48:04,860 I think we're still go on that, on a go on that. 905 00:48:05,370 --> 00:48:07,610 If the FA gave them permission today, I think they could 906 00:48:07,770 --> 00:48:10,530 probably attend the launch in a week. 907 00:48:11,170 --> 00:48:14,370 I think that they're at that stage they need to static fire. 908 00:48:14,850 --> 00:48:17,730 They've already static fires 25 and they were happy they didn't 909 00:48:17,730 --> 00:48:21,570 replace any Raptors and whatnot. Yep, they need to static fire 9 910 00:48:22,210 --> 00:48:25,410 Booster 9 and I think that they could be ready to go right after 911 00:48:25,410 --> 00:48:28,890 that as long as everything was just was operating as it was. 912 00:48:29,330 --> 00:48:32,250 I think the hold up again will be as you say, the FAAI think 913 00:48:32,250 --> 00:48:36,080 there was a lot of damage. To the compound as but as well 914 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,120 as the a lot of concrete spread over the area around the launch 915 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,080 site. So I think that there's a bits 916 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,440 are in there that they'll want to address and get answered and 917 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,120 then they're likely doing that already from the day at launch. 918 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,520 I'm sure they've been talking to yeah and giving reports on 919 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,240 everything they're doing to repair things and whatnot and 920 00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,040 prevent it from happening again the future. 921 00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,800 So I don't think it's going to be as long a wait for the FA to 922 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,200 to secure this, but it's just a matter of time. 923 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,160 But yeah, I think that's a little less than a month I will 924 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,240 be launching this thing. Wow. 925 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,000 Yes, I stay by it. I stand by it. 926 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,480 I think you're pretty right. I'm going to venture to say it's 927 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:18,640 going to be a little bit later, maybe septemberish maybe, but 928 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,600 Elon, even Elon was like, yeah, middle of August can be ready by 929 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,560 the middle of August. And like you said they were 930 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,960 talking to, they've been talking to the FA. 931 00:49:26,430 --> 00:49:29,910 Probably an hour. Like within hours of the last 932 00:49:29,910 --> 00:49:31,510 launch. Within probably minutes. 933 00:49:31,510 --> 00:49:33,590 Within the last launch, the FA was probably on the horn. 934 00:49:33,710 --> 00:49:37,310 Hey, what just happened, buddy? That just blew everything out 935 00:49:37,830 --> 00:49:41,470 there and they had these steps in place before they launched 936 00:49:41,470 --> 00:49:43,950 the first one and like they had lots of rockets. 937 00:49:43,950 --> 00:49:45,910 Over the years. Lots of rockets over the years 938 00:49:45,910 --> 00:49:47,110 that have blown up on the launchpad. 939 00:49:47,390 --> 00:49:49,430 Yep. Causing all kinds of damage. 940 00:49:49,630 --> 00:49:51,910 Yep, it's just this is just another one. 941 00:49:52,350 --> 00:49:54,590 Yeah, and this didn't blow up in Launchpad, it blew up the 942 00:49:54,590 --> 00:49:59,250 Launchpad. Same sort of deal, same kind of 943 00:49:59,250 --> 00:50:02,050 damage probably. I would imagine the only 944 00:50:02,050 --> 00:50:05,970 difference being that the tanks for all the cryogenic fluid and 945 00:50:05,970 --> 00:50:08,850 stuff were a little bit closer at the launch site than they 946 00:50:08,850 --> 00:50:13,330 were the Cape I believe. But so that's probably the big 947 00:50:13,330 --> 00:50:16,690 difference here. I think that the it's just a up 948 00:50:16,690 --> 00:50:20,370 matter of time to get past these things, but it's happened 949 00:50:20,370 --> 00:50:22,250 before. And you know what? 950 00:50:22,250 --> 00:50:24,570 They expected it to blow up in the sky, then they expected to 951 00:50:24,570 --> 00:50:27,850 get off the launchpad. And the F knew that, so it's 952 00:50:27,850 --> 00:50:30,890 just a matter of satisfying them, and I think that won't be 953 00:50:30,890 --> 00:50:32,850 hard at all. Yeah, I agree with you. 954 00:50:33,250 --> 00:50:37,010 I think they like they're showing them all the data that 955 00:50:37,010 --> 00:50:39,930 they get as they get it. They're showing them how we're 956 00:50:39,930 --> 00:50:42,370 they're mitigating the problems that were on the pad. 957 00:50:42,930 --> 00:50:45,930 And I think they'll just go, it'll bring as much as they can, 958 00:50:45,930 --> 00:50:49,170 they'll breeze through this and then they'll be ready to launch. 959 00:50:49,410 --> 00:50:52,570 Now if the water deliard system and the statics fire static 960 00:50:52,570 --> 00:50:55,290 fires work perfectly the first time. 961 00:50:55,710 --> 00:50:59,350 They might do like A7 static fire, like A7 engine and then 962 00:50:59,350 --> 00:51:03,230 the 14 or whatever, and then go to 21 and be like can't static 963 00:51:03,230 --> 00:51:05,110 fire everything. So now we're going to launch it 964 00:51:05,470 --> 00:51:09,470 and then they'll stack it up and do a fill test probably on both 965 00:51:09,710 --> 00:51:14,710 the rocket or the ship and the booster maybe like and then 966 00:51:14,870 --> 00:51:17,150 launch it up one more time just to make sure all the systems 967 00:51:17,150 --> 00:51:18,870 work and then. Yeah. 968 00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:21,950 Did they do a static fire with the ship with ship 24 on top of 969 00:51:21,950 --> 00:51:23,790 eight? I don't think so, no. 970 00:51:24,030 --> 00:51:25,810 I don't think they did. Yeah, they were just. 971 00:51:26,130 --> 00:51:27,570 They don't do. I'm surprised they don't do 972 00:51:27,570 --> 00:51:30,810 that, to be honest. I am, but I'm also. 973 00:51:30,810 --> 00:51:34,210 I totally understand why they don't, because if they do a 974 00:51:34,210 --> 00:51:39,090 static fire again one, it's almost like they're wasting 975 00:51:39,090 --> 00:51:40,530 time. I think because they've already 976 00:51:40,530 --> 00:51:41,850 done it. They've already tested those 977 00:51:41,850 --> 00:51:43,770 engines and they've already tested all the systems. 978 00:51:44,250 --> 00:51:47,290 The only system that they wouldn't be able to test without 979 00:51:47,290 --> 00:51:49,850 the ship on top was like, is the ship going to fall off the 980 00:51:49,850 --> 00:51:51,930 booster? Yeah, and but that was part of 981 00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:54,530 the problem, right? Is that it didn't release, Yeah. 982 00:51:54,940 --> 00:52:00,460 So is there anything to be seen, observed from a static fire and 983 00:52:00,460 --> 00:52:02,940 how those lock pins work some place? 984 00:52:03,060 --> 00:52:05,940 I would like to see that. And they did it. 985 00:52:06,020 --> 00:52:07,180 They've already launched this once. 986 00:52:07,620 --> 00:52:10,580 We talked about this earlier. SpaceX is very happy doing 987 00:52:10,580 --> 00:52:13,780 things once, having it work and moving on and saying that's the 988 00:52:13,780 --> 00:52:14,940 way we're going to do it every time. 989 00:52:15,140 --> 00:52:16,580 Yep. They only they've only really 990 00:52:16,580 --> 00:52:20,820 landed one ship successfully. Oh yeah, you're right. 991 00:52:20,820 --> 00:52:23,360 They moved on. They immediately move on to say 992 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:24,880 we've done it, we're good. You did it. 993 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:25,560 Move on. Yeah. 994 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,160 Yeah. And then you're going to need to 995 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,440 prove that again. In my mind, but not in their 996 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,000 minds. Apparently they've already 997 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,320 launched the ship once in their minds. 998 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,160 Is everything cool? Let's just go for it. 999 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:42,840 Do they put 25 on top of nine and then stand fire and then 1000 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,680 launch? I don't think. 1001 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,800 I don't think they need to. Yes, but. 1002 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,200 As opposed to I'm sorry, as opposed to static fire 9 on its 1003 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,120 own. Ooh, OK do they just? 1004 00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:59,960 Jump to the watch. Basically just OK. 1005 00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:03,160 So this is I think this. Could be an issue because if 1006 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:08,480 they static fire with the ship on top of the booster, could the 1007 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:15,920 ship get rattled? Which is better than when it's 1008 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:11,720 in the air. Move out of place? 1009 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,920 They might have to readjust it, just better. 1010 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,420 Yeah. I think that's the whole point 1011 00:53:18,420 --> 00:53:20,780 of static firing with the ship on top is the seat that. 1012 00:53:20,780 --> 00:53:23,260 Would make sense, Yeah. That would make 100% sense. 1013 00:53:23,540 --> 00:53:27,380 Will SpaceX do that? Probably not, because they're 1014 00:53:27,380 --> 00:53:29,820 just like I work last time. We didn't do it last time and it 1015 00:53:29,820 --> 00:53:30,700 seemed to work. I don't. 1016 00:53:30,700 --> 00:53:33,220 Know I can. I'm leaning more towards them 1017 00:53:34,060 --> 00:53:37,620 not static firing 9 before the ship's on top, statifying it 1018 00:53:37,620 --> 00:53:42,140 once and then launching. Oh, like a 20 something odd. 1019 00:53:42,530 --> 00:53:44,530 Engine static fire maybe? Yeah, something with. 1020 00:53:44,530 --> 00:53:47,250 The ship on top and this, hey, it didn't fall off saying let. 1021 00:53:47,370 --> 00:53:48,650 Go, guys. Everyone looks cool. 1022 00:53:48,770 --> 00:53:52,770 Let's launch tomorrow. Yeah, that makes more. 1023 00:53:52,890 --> 00:53:55,730 Sense, which is the standard process for Falcon launch as 1024 00:53:55,730 --> 00:53:57,690 well, right? Yeah, yeah, it put it on the 1025 00:53:57,690 --> 00:54:00,650 thing, the static fire, and then the next day or two they launch. 1026 00:54:01,050 --> 00:54:04,650 Yeah, so the ship would be something like the like a 1027 00:54:04,650 --> 00:54:07,290 fairing or something on a regular on a Falcon rocket. 1028 00:54:07,690 --> 00:54:09,810 Just the same thing. There's a huge faring. 1029 00:54:10,730 --> 00:54:13,210 It's a second stage, right? Yeah, second stage, gigantic 1030 00:54:13,210 --> 00:54:16,130 second stage. So that would make sense that 1031 00:54:16,130 --> 00:54:17,770 they do that. That's where they want to get. 1032 00:54:17,770 --> 00:54:20,730 To I think that's where you have to get to eventually. 1033 00:54:20,970 --> 00:54:25,730 It's it skips what like a week and a half of testing because 1034 00:54:25,730 --> 00:54:27,890 they do a static fire, then they like have to close down the 1035 00:54:27,890 --> 00:54:29,090 roads. You have to get the data from 1036 00:54:29,090 --> 00:54:33,530 that static fire, wait about 3 days or so, refuel it. 1037 00:54:33,810 --> 00:54:37,170 That makes way more sense, way more sense. 1038 00:54:37,170 --> 00:54:41,840 Will they do it for this one? Yeah, but to say if not this 1039 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,080 one, then the next one, I bet they try and do it, yeah, yeah. 1040 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,120 I would love them. I didn't even think about that 1041 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,280 until you just said that. So my mind's going crazy. 1042 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,320 But it seems like they're just Wis. 1043 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,760 Just like straight through all these tests. 1044 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,200 This happened real quick. They already had the booster 1045 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:57,880 there. The ship. 1046 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,360 Yeah, Everything is being tested at Massey's beforehand. 1047 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,480 Everything's getting ready to roll. 1048 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,240 I don't remember. When it was that. 1049 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,000 Yeah, I don't remember when it was that my fear went away that 1050 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,400 the ship was going to implode when they're doing a cryo test, 1051 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:15,160 probably 6-7, maybe, right? Not seven, but maybe ship eight. 1052 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,840 That is when I started to think, OK, this thing's going to 1053 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,320 actually not going to implode and it's going to work. 1054 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,000 And I still, it boggles my mind that we're talking about four 1055 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,920 millimeters of or five millimeters of stainless steel 1056 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,760 holding all this cryogenic fluid in place. 1057 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,360 Yet at least I feel confident that it's not going to implode. 1058 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,360 Of course, Speaking of implosions, the test ship said 1059 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,880 27 that you could see the Dome top Dome of that imploded after 1060 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,000 the last testing. That is interesting. 1061 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,400 That is interesting. Obviously, we're testing that to 1062 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,080 failure. They wanted that to happen. 1063 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,160 Yeah. I think an implosion is better 1064 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,160 than an explosion in that case. Yep. 1065 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,720 I think they're probably quite happy with the results of that. 1066 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,280 You get to this, whatever they were testing, Yeah. 1067 00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,720 Whatever. They were testing new steel or 1068 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,960 new systems or whatever happened to be, Yeah. 1069 00:56:03,540 --> 00:56:06,140 I think they're, yeah. And if they move past that, 1070 00:56:06,180 --> 00:56:08,260 they'll have Ship 28. Ship 29. 1071 00:56:08,340 --> 00:56:10,420 I don't even know how many ships are down there now I have, I've 1072 00:56:10,420 --> 00:56:13,740 lost count of which ships are down there and what boosters are 1073 00:56:13,860 --> 00:56:17,500 of like readily available because I'm focusing on the ship 1074 00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:19,900 that's going to launch and the other stuff that's happening. 1075 00:56:20,340 --> 00:56:25,500 It's super important. But also like it's off there 1076 00:56:25,500 --> 00:56:28,140 somewhere and I think that's where everybody else is at too, 1077 00:56:28,140 --> 00:56:31,700 is that this is an amazing feat that will happen. 1078 00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:35,450 Like you said, Ship 10. Ship 10 head or not ship 10, but 1079 00:56:35,450 --> 00:56:37,130 booster. They're doing the booster, all 1080 00:56:37,130 --> 00:56:41,170 sorts of boosters and ships and testing everything. 1081 00:56:41,410 --> 00:56:43,090 It's like, how can they keep track of everything? 1082 00:56:44,250 --> 00:56:45,770 And I'll just I'll. Leave that space. 1083 00:56:45,770 --> 00:56:48,490 They have an Excel spreadsheet. To be honest with you, they're 1084 00:56:48,490 --> 00:56:50,330 probably yeah, they're fine, they're fine. 1085 00:56:51,330 --> 00:56:54,210 Yeah, I know that they're building Ship 30 right now. 1086 00:56:54,770 --> 00:56:57,770 Believe they're setting that and it looks pretty slick. 1087 00:56:58,850 --> 00:57:01,330 Like, it's starting to really look like they know what they're 1088 00:57:01,330 --> 00:57:04,530 doing as far as the tiles go and all of that. 1089 00:57:04,530 --> 00:57:06,610 It just happens now and it's got a. 1090 00:57:07,050 --> 00:57:09,370 It's got the that would be insane, even. 1091 00:57:09,490 --> 00:57:11,890 I think it. We need to keep thinking that 1092 00:57:11,890 --> 00:57:13,730 they're moving forward. We need to keep thinking that 1093 00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:15,770 they're thinking, what's the next step? 1094 00:57:15,970 --> 00:57:17,490 This next ship's going to make it orbit. 1095 00:57:17,570 --> 00:57:20,290 So next one after that, why don't we throw some startlings 1096 00:57:20,290 --> 00:57:22,370 up? May as well. 1097 00:57:22,450 --> 00:57:24,370 That makes they have to move forward with the Starlink 1098 00:57:24,370 --> 00:57:27,810 program as fast as possible. They need to make money and 1099 00:57:27,890 --> 00:57:29,310 getting. Eczema. 1100 00:57:29,310 --> 00:57:33,310 What is it like 10 I think at the at this time for the regular 1101 00:57:33,310 --> 00:57:35,390 like? Falcon money, yeah. 1102 00:57:35,550 --> 00:57:37,350 Yeah, stuff like that for a Falcon launch. 1103 00:57:37,350 --> 00:57:40,270 Like they're like throwing away money at this point when they 1104 00:57:40,270 --> 00:57:43,190 can get like 20 or 30 in a Starship. 1105 00:57:43,590 --> 00:57:47,070 So does one Starship launch, even if it's an expendable 1106 00:57:47,070 --> 00:57:50,390 Starship, which is probably going to happen for the next 10 1107 00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:53,630 starships, then at least get some star links up there and 1108 00:57:53,870 --> 00:57:55,710 make the money back from the Starship launch. 1109 00:57:56,110 --> 00:57:58,190 Yep, that make that money back fund Starship. 1110 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,520 And just keep going with it and that's how they're going to fund 1111 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,280 the Starship program going forward is I think that the Star 1112 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,920 Link launches and they also have, they have some customers 1113 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,560 like at Bay like just ready to launch on this thing, it's once 1114 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,760 it's ready to go. Once it's proven. 1115 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,320 Yeah, once it's proven and they know that they can get 1116 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,480 satellites into orbit, they know they can get heavy. 1117 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,760 They need a heavy lift rocket to get some stuff up there. 1118 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,560 I wonder. If we see, I wonder if we start 1119 00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,560 to see satellite companies building flat satellites. 1120 00:58:27,590 --> 00:58:31,110 That could be just has dispensed if you will, as opposed to the 1121 00:58:31,110 --> 00:58:33,630 traditional box shaped satellite. 1122 00:58:33,630 --> 00:58:36,230 Whether they start to compress them and make them fit out that 1123 00:58:36,310 --> 00:58:39,790 door, I wonder, good idea. But maybe they can assemble 1124 00:58:39,790 --> 00:58:42,430 themselves once they're launched or something like that. 1125 00:58:42,550 --> 00:58:45,030 Yeah, like a the solar panels roll out and whatnot. 1126 00:58:45,470 --> 00:58:48,550 Like how the James Webb Telescope unfurled it. 1127 00:58:48,630 --> 00:58:52,750 And yeah, exactly like that. It would certainly make 1128 00:58:52,750 --> 00:58:56,660 everything less complicated and you could put. 15 Star Link and 1129 00:58:56,660 --> 00:59:00,580 three regular satellites and this, that and the other just 1130 00:59:00,580 --> 00:59:04,820 stacked them in order in the in the Starship and keep launching 1131 00:59:04,820 --> 00:59:07,780 them out as you need to. That'd be incredible. 1132 00:59:07,780 --> 00:59:09,380 I'm trying to find at this point. 1133 00:59:09,860 --> 00:59:13,660 Remember they had a PES, They had a Starship where the front 1134 00:59:13,660 --> 00:59:14,940 opened like that. I was trying to find that 1135 00:59:14,940 --> 00:59:17,180 graphic but I can't find it. That was what's in my head, I'm 1136 00:59:17,180 --> 00:59:18,820 thinking. I wonder if that even makes 1137 00:59:18,820 --> 00:59:21,630 sense anymore. I don't unless. 1138 00:59:21,630 --> 00:59:24,190 You're unless you're perhaps collecting an old satellite to 1139 00:59:24,190 --> 00:59:26,950 fix it or just to get rid of space check or something like 1140 00:59:26,950 --> 00:59:28,710 that. I wonder if that even makes 1141 00:59:28,710 --> 00:59:31,550 sense anymore whether the pest dispenser is the way the future 1142 00:59:31,550 --> 00:59:34,630 for that sort of thing. Because how big of a satellite 1143 00:59:34,630 --> 00:59:37,790 you really need to launch these days with micro everything 1144 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:38,910 right. Yeah. 1145 00:59:39,070 --> 00:59:43,070 This thing is still going to be what's probably 6 meters wide 1146 00:59:43,070 --> 00:59:45,670 out imagine at the very least. Yeah. 1147 00:59:46,110 --> 00:59:47,590 And who? And that's probably. 1148 00:59:48,500 --> 00:59:52,260 I don't know how tall the pet Spencer is, but probably a meter 1149 00:59:52,940 --> 00:59:56,620 at least, if not more. Yeah, so 6 meters by 1 meter and 1150 00:59:56,620 --> 00:59:58,300 then unfurls to whatever size you need. 1151 00:59:58,660 --> 01:00:00,820 I don't know that you need a subway larger than that these 1152 01:00:00,820 --> 01:00:03,380 days. Yeah, everything's smaller. 1153 01:00:03,380 --> 01:00:05,780 Now you can. We have the world's knowledge. 1154 01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:08,940 So much in these box satellites they're sending out and the 1155 01:00:09,020 --> 01:00:10,300 yeah, the cube sats and everything. 1156 01:00:10,340 --> 01:00:12,220 Yeah, that's what I meant to say. 1157 01:00:12,860 --> 01:00:15,340 Same thing. They're a box. 1158 01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:22,800 Yeah, so Speaking of satellites, this whole start Starship thing 1159 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:28,920 is predicated by the Falcon Heavy launch, so there's a 1160 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:33,000 readiness review happen for a target of Wednesday, July 26th 1161 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:39,280 for Falcon Heavy's launch of the Hughes Connex Jupiter 3E Star 14 1162 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:40,320 said. Like why do they make these 1163 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:40,960 names get? Launched. 1164 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,000 You got enough names. Come on, man. 1165 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,740 This kid somebody. Short of it, it's a 1166 01:00:46,740 --> 01:00:50,700 communication satellite. Yeah, yeah, it's a communication 1167 01:00:50,700 --> 01:00:53,220 satellite. It's going to be the heaviest 1168 01:00:53,220 --> 01:00:56,540 geostationary satellite ever launched at just over 9 metric 1169 01:00:56,540 --> 01:00:57,740 tons. Wow. 1170 01:00:58,020 --> 01:01:00,620 Yeah, size. It is probably not, no, I don't 1171 01:01:00,620 --> 01:01:02,300 think. They I don't think they gave us 1172 01:01:02,300 --> 01:01:03,420 any. Sort of. 1173 01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:08,540 It fits inside the basically 4 meter wide, probably 5 meter 1174 01:01:08,540 --> 01:01:11,380 wide fairing, right? Yeah, yeah. 1175 01:01:11,380 --> 01:01:14,900 So it's quite large. I'm sure it's nine metric tons. 1176 01:01:15,020 --> 01:01:18,010 The thing is like 9 tons for a satellite. 1177 01:01:18,370 --> 01:01:19,490 What is in there? That's. 1178 01:01:19,610 --> 01:01:21,650 And this is supposed to be graded. 1179 01:01:22,450 --> 01:01:26,370 All new technology, micro technology version of this, 1180 01:01:26,370 --> 01:01:28,890 these kinds of satellites. This is the obviously the 1181 01:01:29,610 --> 01:01:31,890 state-of-the-art communication satellite. 1182 01:01:32,130 --> 01:01:33,410 Interesting that it's still that big. 1183 01:01:34,490 --> 01:01:37,450 Yeah, not 9 tons. That's so how. 1184 01:01:37,530 --> 01:01:39,010 What? A couple tons for a car? 1185 01:01:40,450 --> 01:01:43,730 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, five cars base. 1186 01:01:44,010 --> 01:01:47,000 Yeah, maybe 5 cars. That's how much it weighs. 1187 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:49,840 What's in this thing? We don't know. 1188 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,560 Like how much technology can you pack into this thing? 1189 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,640 There's a KA band. It's a Ka band satellite. 1190 01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:00,600 Multispot BMK A band satellite based on the highly reliable L 1191 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,720 1300 space proven platform which provides the flexibility to 1192 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,960 support a Broadway. This in your head, do you, dude? 1193 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,850 I'm just. I know IT and technology 1194 01:02:09,850 --> 01:02:11,530 advances, and not just know some stuff. 1195 01:02:11,570 --> 01:02:14,370 It features an entirely new architecture based on broad 1196 01:02:14,370 --> 01:02:17,210 range of technology advances, including the mini 1197 01:02:17,850 --> 01:02:23,890 miniaturization of electronics. OK, miniaturization. 9 tons. 1198 01:02:24,130 --> 01:02:26,370 Does that make sense? They're still made of gold. 1199 01:02:26,690 --> 01:02:29,570 Yeah, that features entirely new architecture. 1200 01:02:29,570 --> 01:02:32,890 Best we did, look this up. Yeah, the KA band is microwave 1201 01:02:33,570 --> 01:02:36,850 band, microwave range. That's how it's setting, beaming 1202 01:02:36,850 --> 01:02:39,050 things back and forth to earth. Yep. 1203 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,800 So that's coming up on the 26th. That's going to be a pretty wild 1204 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,400 launch and they say approximately 8 minutes after 1205 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,000 launch Falcon Heavy side boosters will return to Earth in 1206 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,720 land on landing zones one and two. 1207 01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,000 So we're going to take a look at how that. 1208 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,120 Works. That's my favorite kind of 1209 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,440 landing for these. Yeah, side by side. 1210 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,800 So cool, man. Keep in mind these things are 1211 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,960 seven story buildings. Yeah, and they just gently place 1212 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,500 them back on Earth. And it's so cool. 1213 01:03:08,820 --> 01:03:11,180 I love how the legs open for the last second. 1214 01:03:11,580 --> 01:03:15,460 Everything's just so well timed. There's no, they don't cover 1215 01:03:15,460 --> 01:03:17,060 anything. They just come down at a very 1216 01:03:17,060 --> 01:03:21,140 consistent rate and settle down to earth so beautifully. 1217 01:03:21,540 --> 01:03:25,060 Yeah, I mean Target. I so I think about these 1218 01:03:25,060 --> 01:03:27,980 landings and then I think about Blue Origins landings. 1219 01:03:28,810 --> 01:03:31,970 And I'm always afraid when Blue Origin lands its booster because 1220 01:03:32,050 --> 01:03:35,290 it bounces, these go like they do a little these do a little 1221 01:03:35,290 --> 01:03:37,650 tiny shuffle and kind of little tiny sway. 1222 01:03:38,130 --> 01:03:40,130 But Blue Origins kind of like boink and you're like. 1223 01:03:40,410 --> 01:03:43,010 And in the cover, like they're not quite sure, are we actually 1224 01:03:43,010 --> 01:03:47,770 going to do this and then boing wing, wing instead of gradually, 1225 01:03:47,770 --> 01:03:51,770 slowly, like lowering your booster back, OK, we get to the 1226 01:03:51,770 --> 01:03:54,650 last, what, 7 feet or something those are. 1227 01:03:54,850 --> 01:03:57,050 I don't know the actual size, but they're probably 1/4 of the 1228 01:03:57,050 --> 01:03:59,210 height of this. It's just completely different. 1229 01:04:00,850 --> 01:04:04,850 Yeah, it's so cool, man. Like we we are literally living 1230 01:04:04,850 --> 01:04:06,530 in the future. This is insane. 1231 01:04:07,290 --> 01:04:08,610 This is something. Will happen. 1232 01:04:09,130 --> 01:04:10,890 Yeah, this is pretty normal. We expect these. 1233 01:04:10,890 --> 01:04:12,370 Boosters of lands? No problem. 1234 01:04:12,370 --> 01:04:14,210 Tomorrow. Yeah, something goes wrong. 1235 01:04:14,210 --> 01:04:19,250 We'll be like, whoa. Yeah, You know, we'll have 1236 01:04:19,250 --> 01:04:23,250 questions for months, but yeah. And as you can see how big they 1237 01:04:23,250 --> 01:04:26,290 are, you can see the architecture around it. 1238 01:04:27,060 --> 01:04:29,700 These pipes are quite large. There's little buildings, 1239 01:04:29,700 --> 01:04:33,300 there's fuel tanks, there's some ground systems here. 1240 01:04:33,620 --> 01:04:34,500 All these things are quite large. 1241 01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:36,180 But like you said, it's like a seven story building. 1242 01:04:36,820 --> 01:04:38,620 Huge. It's gigantic. 1243 01:04:38,620 --> 01:04:41,300 Massive. Yeah, and they just hover down. 1244 01:04:41,540 --> 01:04:44,060 Maybe you can see the top of the boosters they have the. 1245 01:04:44,060 --> 01:04:48,460 I forgot what they're called the the engines at the top that that 1246 01:04:48,460 --> 01:04:50,140 puff engines. What are? 1247 01:04:50,140 --> 01:04:51,460 They called. I can't remember what they're 1248 01:04:51,460 --> 01:04:52,500 called, but why can't I think of it? 1249 01:04:54,140 --> 01:04:57,670 Puff engines, so the. Little puff puffs at the top 1250 01:04:57,670 --> 01:04:59,390 there. That guide them in I believe. 1251 01:04:59,430 --> 01:05:02,950 They called the. Yeah, the yeah, you can see them 1252 01:05:02,950 --> 01:05:07,910 guiding them in and they go real fast too. 1253 01:05:07,910 --> 01:05:11,350 Like it's ridiculous how fast these systems go as you're 1254 01:05:11,350 --> 01:05:14,950 landing A7 story building. So yeah absolutely insane 1255 01:05:14,950 --> 01:05:18,750 absolutely crazy that this is actually happening again because 1256 01:05:18,750 --> 01:05:23,710 Falcon heavies gigantic still but nine metric tons for a 1257 01:05:23,710 --> 01:05:26,890 satellite that yeah. Makes sense. 1258 01:05:26,890 --> 01:05:30,610 I don't know it's yeah it's made of lead Thor's hammers in there. 1259 01:05:33,290 --> 01:05:35,490 I. Wonder how many more heavy 1260 01:05:35,490 --> 01:05:38,810 launches we have. Falcon Heavy launches? 1261 01:05:38,890 --> 01:05:41,290 Yeah, Falcon Heavy watches. I wonder how many more there are 1262 01:05:41,290 --> 01:05:44,050 left. Because yeah, I think Starship 1263 01:05:44,050 --> 01:05:45,250 takes it over. It's cheaper. 1264 01:05:45,410 --> 01:05:47,490 I think launch Starship that it is Falcon Heavy. 1265 01:05:48,050 --> 01:05:49,890 I think so too. I think usable. 1266 01:05:51,090 --> 01:05:53,940 I think three years. I don't think they'll. 1267 01:05:54,140 --> 01:05:56,900 I don't think they'll retire it. I think it'll be there for 1268 01:05:56,900 --> 01:05:59,220 specific use cases but I don't think. 1269 01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:02,100 I don't think we're going to see as many. 1270 01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:06,980 I think 1 Starship is moon ready for the next few years. 1271 01:06:07,060 --> 01:06:10,140 I think like the low Earth orbit stuff is going to be no big 1272 01:06:10,140 --> 01:06:12,700 deal. So three years, you're thinking 1273 01:06:13,620 --> 01:06:19,260 6 launches, something like that, yeah, maybe, yeah, 5-6 launches 1274 01:06:19,580 --> 01:06:22,900 and then that's it. Like I think unless like I was 1275 01:06:22,900 --> 01:06:26,020 saying, there's certain use cases for it, but I don't see 1276 01:06:26,020 --> 01:06:29,180 why Starship wouldn't be able to do those use cases as well. 1277 01:06:29,620 --> 01:06:32,420 Starship would do everything this thing can do, and 10 times 1278 01:06:32,420 --> 01:06:33,860 more. Yeah, it is. 1279 01:06:33,940 --> 01:06:36,300 Sure. Maybe if there's something 1280 01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:39,940 that's not big enough to go into a Starship, something that's 1281 01:06:40,620 --> 01:06:44,220 just only needs a fairing for a Falcon Heavy or a Falcon. 1282 01:06:44,220 --> 01:06:47,740 That's why I say you just pack it in, put it in the best 1283 01:06:47,740 --> 01:06:50,380 Spencer and shoot it out as needed and send some more 1284 01:06:50,380 --> 01:06:54,000 stylics up. SpaceX revolutionized rockets, 1285 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,680 so why wouldn't they revolutionize the delivery 1286 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,960 system as well if they're like, hey, if you want to launch out 1287 01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:03,400 of Starship, you have to build your architecture for our 1288 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,400 device. It's like your phone, like you 1289 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,920 have your If you're going to build an app for a phone, you 1290 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,480 have to build it according to Apple's procedures. 1291 01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,160 So if you're going to build a satellite for our rocket, you 1292 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,360 have to build according to our procedures, Yeah. 1293 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:17,880 Or. You can use the Falcon Heavy, 1294 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,440 but it's going to cost you three times as much. 1295 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,090 Yeah. Planned obsolescence. 1296 01:07:22,090 --> 01:07:24,370 Good job, SpaceX. Good job. 1297 01:07:25,570 --> 01:07:27,450 They did it. Oh man, they did it. 1298 01:07:27,450 --> 01:07:29,370 They're a tech company. They did it. 1299 01:07:29,730 --> 01:07:34,410 Steve Jobs would be proud. I can't wait for Starship to 1300 01:07:34,410 --> 01:07:40,330 have some. DLC Oh yeah, $0.99 DLC is all 1301 01:07:40,370 --> 01:07:42,410 right your. Satellite's up there now. 1302 01:07:42,450 --> 01:07:45,570 In order to launch it, we're going to need. $11 million, 1303 01:07:45,650 --> 01:07:48,010 yeah, we're going to meet $1,000,000 subscription plan per 1304 01:07:48,010 --> 01:07:56,370 month or you can buy the. 1 year subscription plan for 11 months, 1305 01:07:56,570 --> 01:07:57,730 Yeah. Yeah, exactly. 1306 01:07:59,130 --> 01:08:01,970 So I think that's it for today. I think we covered everything we 1307 01:08:01,970 --> 01:08:04,650 want to cover. So what we got out of this is 1308 01:08:04,650 --> 01:08:09,210 that maybe they'll stack a ship on top of the booster and static 1309 01:08:09,210 --> 01:08:12,140 fire it. That's my take away from this is 1310 01:08:12,140 --> 01:08:14,860 that might be a really interesting and exciting thing. 1311 01:08:15,300 --> 01:08:17,899 And we're thinking a month or two for a launch. 1312 01:08:18,220 --> 01:08:19,500 Yep. Yep. 1313 01:08:19,859 --> 01:08:22,340 That'll be absolutely insane. I can't wait. 1314 01:08:22,340 --> 01:08:23,779 I think it's going to be really cool. 1315 01:08:24,420 --> 01:08:28,060 And I can't wait for the just. It's going to be the most 1316 01:08:28,060 --> 01:08:29,859 impressive thing if it actually works. 1317 01:08:30,660 --> 01:08:31,540 Yeah. Very cool, man. 1318 01:08:32,100 --> 01:08:32,859 Yeah. Same here. 1319 01:08:33,340 --> 01:08:35,460 All right, I guess that's it. Bye, everybody. 1320 01:08:35,460 --> 01:08:37,779 I don't have a goodbye screen because we're doing a different 1321 01:08:37,819 --> 01:08:38,819 platform. Yeah. 1322 01:08:38,819 --> 01:08:41,109 Thanks, Neil. Thank you for continuing to 1323 01:08:41,109 --> 01:08:43,430 bring all this awesome info to all your fans. 1324 01:08:43,830 --> 01:08:46,550 Yeah, thanks to all the fans.
