1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960
SpaceX says we've recently we've
received approval to develop 

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,880
Space Launch Complex 37 for 
Starship operations that Cape 

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,720
Canaveral Space Force Station 
construction has started with 

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,280
three launch pads in Florida. 
Starship will be ready to 

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,600
support America's national 
security and Artemis goals as 

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,800
the world's premier spaceport 
continues to evolve to enable 

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,720
airport like operations. 
We'd like to thank the 

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,360
Department of the Air Force, 
45th Space Force in the US Fish 

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,600
and Wildlife for their effort on
the environmental review. 

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,800
Now, Elon, I want to show you 
where this is for let's you know

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,760
what, let's read this Elon 
tweet, then I'll show you where 

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,360
that is on the map. 
SpaceX is accelerating rapidly 

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,200
when Starship is launching 
several times a day. 

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,600
In a few years SpaceX will be 
99% of all Earth payload mass to

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,720
orbit, even if the others triple
their current launch rate. 

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,640
And this is from a tweet from 
Steve Jurvetson. 

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,600
The quarter three launch report 
just came out. 

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,760
For kilogram launch to orbit. 
SpaceX has 97% share for the US 

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,040
and 83% globally. 
The Chinese launchers add up to 

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,960
8.6%. 
Looking into the graphs 

21
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,880
magnifying box. 
IDF just nudged past Rocket Lab 

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,240
and this is in. 
That's insane. 

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,440
Look at this graph. 
They are so far past everybody 

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,600
else that it's not even close, 
not even close for SpaceX. 

25
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,560
They are destroying everybody. 
And when Elon says they're going

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,480
to be launching several times a 
day, I want you to think about 

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,640
this. 
They're going to have their two 

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,760
launchers at the Cape. 
They're going to have two 

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,080
launchers at Star Base by that 
time. 

30
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,200
So then they may even have more 
by that time too. 

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,000
They may have 6 launchers at any
given time in the next few 

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,360
years. 
Now Starship were to launch six 

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,320
times in one day. 
They would land 12 times that 

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,240
day if everything returns 
properly. 

35
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Think of that for a second. 
You see airplanes coming in and 

36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,280
out. 
You know, you go to an airport, 

37
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,640
you can sit under the airport, 
like the launch area, right? 

38
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,800
We have one nearby where you can
drive underneath and you can 

39
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,840
kind of see it. 
You can park sober, close and 

40
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,360
the launch has happened where 
the flights happen every X 

41
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,360
amount of minutes, right? 
Like 1520 minutes, thirty 

42
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,320
minutes, whatever. 
Now, if you have 6 rockets going

43
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,000
to space, two of those could be 
tankers, two of those could be 

44
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,040
starships that are getting ready
to go someplace. 

45
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,000
They got 4 already, and then 
you've got two more. 

46
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,960
We're doing something else. 
Who knows what they're doing. 

47
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:02,560
Maybe they're a tanker in 
another Starship and they're 

48
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,600
fueling up and they're trying to
get to Mars. 

49
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,080
Maybe they're trying to get to 
the moon. 

50
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,760
Maybe they're trying to do some 
other science work. 

51
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,080
Maybe they're launching Starlink
satellites, some of them. 

52
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,920
But you can have 6:00 to 12:00. 
You can have six launches per 

53
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:19,680
day, which is incredible. 
You could have a morning launch 

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,040
and a night launch of the 
Starship, or you could have two 

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,560
launches almost simultaneously, 
like hours apart if the if the 

56
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,760
ground crews are fine. 
Or you could just scatter them 

57
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,840
out throughout the day and you 
could have numerous launches 

58
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:43,800
from across the southern border 
of the United States, Florida, 

59
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Texas. 
It's just like they just can 

60
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,160
launch so many. 
And it's going to be incredible 

61
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,040
that this is what's going to 
actually happen. 

62
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,280
And I believe Elon here in a few
years, SpaceX will be 99% of all

63
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,200
Earth payload master orbit 
several times a day. 

64
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,920
When he says several, what does 
he mean though? 

65
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Does he mean two launches per 
day? 

66
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,000
I think what's going to happen, 
and this is this is what I'm 

67
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,880
hoping happens in the next few 
years. 

68
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,839
I hope they nail block 3 pretty 
soon now with this poll in our 

69
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,200
chat. 
Will Starship launch in January?

70
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,080
I don't think so. 
I don't think they can. 

71
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,120
I think they that set back from 
the last booster that blew up, 

72
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,680
that's going to send them back a
few, you know, maybe 3 weeks, 

73
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,200
something like that. 
So by that time this year is 

74
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,400
going to be over, they still 
have to test a booster, 100% 

75
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400
test it. 
This is a new version of 

76
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,200
everything, right? 
So they have a new booster, new 

77
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,160
ship, everything's brand new. 
They have to do extensive 

78
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,240
testing on either one of these 
things. 

79
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,400
As if anything happens to this 
pad, which isn't even completed 

80
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,680
yet by the way, they just ripped
down the first pad. 

81
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:12,320
It's pretty much gone. 
And pad 2 is going to be up 

82
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,240
sometime in the near future. 
We don't know when they could 

83
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000
be, could be months, could be 3 
months. 

84
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,520
I mean, they're, they're working
hard. 

85
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,440
But I, you know, I saw them 
build the first pad. 

86
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,240
I was there, I was there on the 
side of the road when they were 

87
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,680
building the first pad. 
It took a very long time. 

88
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,440
Now engineering is very 
difficult and they learned a lot

89
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,240
from pad 1. 
Pad 2 is for a different rocket.

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Pad 2 is for Block 3. 
What they learned from Block 1 

91
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,120
and 2 they can transfer over to 
the Block 3 pad, but it's going 

92
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,160
to be different. 
So they need to do different 

93
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,280
things. 
And Zestyzop says Block 3 will 

94
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:56,000
have hiccup hiccups. 
I agree with you. 

95
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,560
There will be times when they 
scrub a launch. 

96
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,320
There will be times when things 
just don't work out right? 

97
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,560
And there will be things like 
what just happened to that last 

98
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,680
booster. 
It it, it exploded on the on the

99
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,400
test pad. 
And those kind of things will 

100
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,160
happen. 
It's a new rocket and 

101
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,120
understandably, it's going to 
take a long time to get it ready

102
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,640
and comfortable enough, get the 
crew comfortable enough to 

103
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,640
launch this thing. 
And I'm not a Starship hater at 

104
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,000
all. 
I just try to think 

105
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,280
realistically and logically 
about things that happen in the 

106
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:38,480
aerospace industry. 
It's a, it's not done yet. 

107
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,400
The the ship. 
Of course, we have very talented

108
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,840
people, much more, much more 
talented than me working on 

109
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,560
these things. 
They know more than I do about 

110
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,920
this. 
But also we've seen some things 

111
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,440
happen. 
How many times has Block 1 and 

112
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,280
Block 2 failed? 
And some people would say it's 

113
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,680
not a failure. 
They, they learned, it's true, 

114
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,960
that's true. 
But they also failed a bunch. 

115
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,040
And I'm not a hater, but it's 
what happened. 

116
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,760
And you have to realize that you
can't just sugarcoat things 

117
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,000
because it just makes you feel 
better because that's not how 

118
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,800
life works. 
That's not how engineering 

119
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,680
works. 
Sure, they learned things, but 

120
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,640
did they want it to perfectly 
execute the plan? 

121
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Yes, 100%. 
Were they planning on that on 

122
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,920
maybe not 100%, but they didn't 
want to be held back by 

123
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,800
failures. 
And I'm sure there are some 

124
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,240
people and they're just sugar 
coating everything. 

125
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,960
If you're sugar coating 
everything because you'd say 

126
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,160
it's not a failure, it's it's a 
learning opportunity. 

127
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,760
Yes, I agree with you. 
But there are winners and losers

128
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,480
and the fact that sometimes 
things don't work out well. 

129
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,520
Oh, it's going to be a bad day 
for Starship if something 

130
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,600
doesn't work out well on the pad
for Block 3. 

131
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,880
I don't know. 
It's, it's a, it's a risky bet 

132
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,560
to say anywhere before March for
the next flight of Starship. 

133
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800
It's going to take a month to 
get that launchpad ready, 

134
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,440
unfortunately. 
And they're going to be building

135
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,920
the Starship in tandem with 
that. 

136
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,760
And I think it's going to be 
March at least, but more so 

137
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,960
probably late March, early April
by the time they get this thing 

138
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,160
ready to fly. 
And Elon said quarter one of 

139
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,440
2026. 
I agree with them quarter one, 

140
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,200
but it's going to be like late 
quarter one. 

141
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,120
I think I, you know, I've been 
covering Starship for since the 

142
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,360
inception, basically since it 
was basically a tent and a dirt 

143
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,320
pad. 
I've been covering this stuff. 

144
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,840
And I think the fact that they 
are building a brand new rocket 

145
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,040
with ideas and engineering from 
another set of that same rocket,

146
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:03,520
block one and two, and the 
things that are different are so

147
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,240
different between block 3 and 
Block 2 upgrades are so 

148
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,080
different. 
It's it's bigger, it's more 

149
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,720
powerful, and you can't just get
it right the first time. 

150
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,520
If you can get it right the 
first time, that's great. 

151
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,000
Maybe you're Blue Origin and you
can launch, you know, maybe you 

152
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,240
can launch a perfect rocket and 
land it. 

153
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,880
That was cool, right? 
That was really cool.
