00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Hi. 
Welcome back to the Elon Musk 

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
podcasted Daily News show about 
Elon musk's numerous companies 

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,300
SpaceX Tesla, the boring company
neurolink and everything else he

4
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:14,300
has going on in this life. 
So, please sit back, relax. 

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,800
And let's talk about spacex's 
super heavy rocket right now. 

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,100
Space exploration has been a one
of Humanity's greatest 

7
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:25,600
achievements and is pushed the 
limits of Science and 

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,300
Technology. 
And over the years, we have seen

9
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:32,299
numerous missions to the Moon. 
And other celestial bodies, but 

10
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:36,500
none have been as ambitious as 
SpaceX is plan to send humans to

11
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,500
the moon and one day to Mars, 
the company has been working 

12
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:44,100
tirelessly to make this dream. 
A reality and has taken a 

13
00:00:44,108 --> 00:00:48,900
significant step forward with 
the ignition of all 33d main 

14
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,400
engines on. 
It's super heavy rocket booster.

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,200
This marks a major milestone in 
the development of SpaceX is 

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,800
reusable Starship rocket, which 
is intended to help power. 

17
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:04,500
NASA's return to the moon. 
Now, no other rocket has ever 

18
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:06,700
used. 
So many engines before making 

19
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:10,500
this, a truly remarkable feat. 
The closest comparison is the 

20
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,000
Soviet Union's N1 rocket, which 
had a first stage powered by 30 

21
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:19,200
and K15 liquid-fueled engines. 
However, each one of those 

22
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,000
engine was only about 
two-thirds, as powerful, as a 

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,800
raptor to Rocket engines bolted,
to the super heavy rocket. 

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,700
That's worth noting that the N1 
was also a massive failure. 

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,900
And never reached orbit space 
ex-president Gwynne. 

26
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:36,400
Shotwell spoke about the 
significance of the tested. 

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,300
A commercial space conference in
Washington, d.c. saying, keep in

28
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,600
mind. 
This first one is really a test 

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,000
flight. 
The real goal is to not blow up 

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,700
on the launch pad that is 
Success. 

31
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:51,800
Now shotwell's words reflect the
caution and the care that SpaceX

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,100
is taken in the development of 
its Starship and super heavy 

33
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,300
rocket. 
The company was likely invested 

34
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,900
more than 1 billion. 
In dollars in a massive launch 

35
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,200
in catch Tower to support 
Starship and the super-heavy 

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,300
booster as well as ground 
systems to support fueling of 

37
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:11,400
the massive vehicles. 
And because so many assets are 

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,800
clustered as small area near the
Gulf of Mexico SpaceX can't 

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,300
afford to take the risk of 
destroying infrastructure. 

40
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:21,400
It is spent more than a year 
building and testing this would 

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,500
set, the Starship launch 
campaign back months, at least 

42
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,300
as the area's rebuilt and would 
also redouble regulatory 

43
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:32,300
concerns that were raised as 
Part of the fááá's process to 

44
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:35,600
clear the South Texas location 
for experimental orbital, 

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,200
launches know, after a rapid 
fire test campaign in 2020, and 

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,100
2021 of Starship prototype 
SpaceX has moved more cautiously

47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,500
at its development and test 
facility in south. 

48
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:48,900
Texas known as Starbase. 
This is because the company 

49
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:53,100
wants to ensure that everything 
is working as it should be and 

50
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,300
that there are no unexpected 
issues. 

51
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:58,500
And the main goal of the test is
to not blow up the launch pad 

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,500
but SpaceX will The Gathering 
data about the performance of 

53
00:03:01,508 --> 00:03:05,100
the Raptor engines on the rocket
and replacing those that show 

54
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:08,500
deviations from any unexpected 
Behavior. 

55
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:14,800
It around, 3:15 p.m. local time 
in South Texas SpaceX ignited 

56
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600
and super heavy rocket for a 
full duration. 

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,900
Test of its Raptor engines. 
According to SpaceX founder, 

58
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:23,600
Elon Musk. 
The launch Team turned off one 

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,200
engine just prior to ignition 
still. 

60
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:29,800
He said, 31 of 33 engines would 
have provided enough. 

61
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:32,800
Thrust to reach orbit. 
This is a huge milestone for 

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,900
SpaceX and potentially puts the 
company on track for an orbital 

63
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:41,100
test flight, during the second 
half of March or possibly early 

64
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:45,500
April, the thrust output of 
these engine was likely, nearly 

65
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:49,100
double that of NASA's, Saturn, 
five rocket or the space launch 

66
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:51,900
system. 
The good news for SpaceX is that

67
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,500
at least for early views, the 
launch of restructure and South 

68
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:58,200
Texas. 
Look, mostly unscathed. 

69
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,900
This is a testament to the His 
engineering expertise and the 

70
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,200
attention to detail that it has 
put into the design and 

71
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,500
construction of its launch 
infrastructure. 

72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,300
Super heavy rocket boosters 
designed to be fully reusable, 

73
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:15,500
which is a major shift in the 
traditional Aerospace industry. 

74
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:19,000
And in the past, most Rockets 
were used only once and then 

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,100
discarded after their mission 
was complete. 

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,400
This was because it was deemed 
too expensive and time-consuming

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,500
to recover and refurbish the 
rockets for reuse. 

78
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:31,000
However SpaceX has In a 
different approach and is 

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,500
working towards a future where 
reusable Rockets are the normal.

80
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,300
Now, reusable Rockets, have 
several benefits for starters, 

81
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:41,600
they significantly reduce the 
cost of launching into space. 

82
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,900
This is because the same rocket 
can be used. 

83
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:47,600
Repeatedly reducing the need to 
build and launch new rockets for

84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,300
each mission. 
In addition reusable, Rockets 

85
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:53,300
reduce the amount of debris 
generated during launches, which

86
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:56,400
is crucial in maintaining a 
clean environment. 

87
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,400
Overall, the admission of the 33
engines on SpaceX Super heavy 

88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,400
rocket is a huge milestone. 
In the development of the 

89
00:05:03,407 --> 00:05:05,700
company's, reusable Starship 
rocket. 

90
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,900
The test is expected to provide 
valuable data, on the 

91
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:12,400
performance of the engines and 
set SpaceX on a path towards its

92
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,800
first orbital launch attempt. 
The fact that SpaceX has 

93
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,200
invested heavily in its launch 
infrastructure. 

94
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,600
Making it imperative to avoid, 
any damage only as to the 

95
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,200
significance of this test.

Now let's get back to some more 

101
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:44,000
Elon Musk news. 
Now, Elon Musk is no stranger to

102
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,500
making headlines. 
In the billionaire, entrepreneur

103
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:48,200
has been in the news for his 
work. 

104
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,000
With companies like Tesla SpaceX
and neurolink recently. 

105
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,600
However, in recent months his 
popularity on Twitter, one of 

106
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,800
his favorite platforms for 
reaching out to the public, his 

107
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800
been on the decline. 
And according to a recent report

108
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,900
from the tech newsletter 
platformer, this has caused some

109
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:08,200
frustration for musk, who met 
with several Twitter Engineers 

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,200
to discuss his view count on the
site, the report from platformer

111
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,300
sites, multiple sources with 
direct knowledge of the meeting 

112
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,100
which took place on Tuesday at 
according to these sources, 

113
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,600
Ilan, was not happy with the 
downward Trend. 

114
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,100
It is view count on Twitter and 
had previously assigned workers 

115
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:28,000
to investigate this issue. 
Ilan, had suspicions that his 

116
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,300
reach on the platform was being 
restricted due to a potential 

117
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:33,700
problem with Twitter's 
algorithm, he said, this is 

118
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:36,600
ridiculous. 
I have more than 100 million 

119
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,400
followers and I'm only getting 
tens of thousands of 

120
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,700
Impressions. 
Now the Twitter engineer show 

121
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:45,700
deal on internal data and Google
Trends charts which indicated 

122
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,800
that public interest in him as 
waning in the Google Trends 

123
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,600
data, showed that his popularity
peaked at a score of about 100 

124
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,100
and April are on the time he 
offered to buy Twitter and Has 

125
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:59,100
since dropped to a 9. 
When one of the engineers said 

126
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:01,500
that his popularity might be 
declining due to a lack of 

127
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:04,400
public interest. 
Since his Twitter purchase Elon 

128
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,700
Musk. 
Told the employee that he was 

129
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:10,100
fired according to platformer. 
Now, the billionaire also told 

130
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:12,700
some employees to track how 
often is tweets are recommended 

131
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:16,100
on the site as he was 
unconvinced by the meeting. 

132
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:18,400
That is view. 
Count had not been impacted by 

133
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,000
an internal issue with Twitter. 
However, both Elon Musk and a 

134
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,800
spokesperson for Twitter. 
Did not respond to requests for.

135
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Comment last week Ilan 
temporarily set his Twitter 

136
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,700
profile to private as a test to 
see if it can increase the view,

137
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:35,800
counts on his tweets, Twitter 
hit added a public view, count 

138
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,000
to users Tweets in December and 
on Wednesday, Twitter suffered, 

139
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,700
an outage leaving several users.
Unable to send tweets or direct 

140
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:45,700
messages after the company. 
Attempted to roll out several 

141
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:48,400
new features. 
And as reported by insiders, 

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,000
Keeley, Hayes, the social media 
site could face some hiccups in 

143
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
the coming months, after the 
company laid off, thousands of 

144
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,300
employees, It's not the first 
time that Elon is fired 

145
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,600
employees. 
On the spot though, only a few 

146
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,400
weeks after he took Twitter 
private, took control of the 

147
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,100
company. 
He fired three Twitter employees

148
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:08,000
who criticized him on social 
media. 

149
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,500
These recent events highlight 
elon's concerns, with his 

150
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:13,200
declining popularity and 
Twitter. 

151
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,700
It is efforts to maintain his 
reach and his influence on the 

152
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:20,300
platform. 
This is also a signal that Elon 

153
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:23,300
Musk wants to make Twitter a 
better place for everybody in 

154
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:25,800
wants to iron out. 
All the bugs in the platform. 

155
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,500
ERM before moving forward with 
his ambitious plans to make it 

156
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,200
an everything at thanks for 
listening to the Elon Musk
