1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600
Hey, everybody, welcome back to 
the show. 

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,120
This is Stage 0. 
My name is Will Walden, I'm your

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,840
host, and today we're going to 
be talking about Starship Flight

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,640
10 from Star Base, Texas. 
Now, you may be wondering what 

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,720
is going to be happening with 
Starship this time? 

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:16,920
What's going to be happening 
with a ship? 

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,360
What's going to be happening 
with a booster? 

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,440
I'm going to go over all of that
today in this episode. 

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,960
Now, I want to urge you, though,
to watch the Starship launch 

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,160
this weekend. 
It's going to be phenomenal. 

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Flight 10, which is going to be 
setting up Starship not only for

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,920
Flight 11, Flight 12, but for 
Block 3. 

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,760
Right now they're using Block 2 
for the Starship flights, and 

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,440
they're going to be upgrading to
flight to Block 3, which is a 

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,600
more powerful rocket in the 
future. 

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,200
And everything that they do with
Block 2 and with this flight, 

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,320
Flight 10 and all the data that 
they collect from this flight 

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,400
will be used in the Block 3 
configuration. 

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,200
Now, what will they be doing 
during this flight? 

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,480
There are a few things that 
they're going to be doing. 

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,800
They're going to be launching 
the booster and the ship, as per

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,720
usual from Starbase. 
They're going to be collecting 

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,040
immense amounts of data from the
booster. 

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,400
It's going to be doing the 
pretty normal booster stuff. 

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,520
It's going to launch the ship. 
Ship's going to detach. 

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,400
Booster's going to be doing the 
flip move slowly precisely 

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,320
landing in the Gulf of Mex 
America got to see it both 

28
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,800
things because people get really
mad at the comments if I say 

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,840
Gulf of Mexico and some people 
get really mad when I say Gulf 

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,000
of America. 
So you kind of say both of them.

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,400
So those are, that's one of the 
things that's going to be doing 

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:52,080
a slow descent into the Gulf. 
And during that time they're 

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,560
going to be collecting data for 
the next flight and then the 

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,480
next flight as well. 
So they're not going to be 

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
coming back to the launch area 
at all. 

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,400
Now, the ship, the ship is 
important. 

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:11,000
The last three ships blew up. 
Who would have thought, right? 

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,040
Three ships in a row blew up 
when they were flying at certain

39
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,200
different distances and speeds 
and heights. 

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,200
Now, what is SpaceX have to say 
about all this stuff? 

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,000
Of course, 10th flight test, 
August 24th on Sunday, flight 

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,840
time starts at, I think 6:00 PM.
Let's let's take a look real 

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,720
quick. 6:30 PM Central time, 
SpaceX goes over this on their 

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,560
website. 
They say of course on their X 

45
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,120
account they're going to be 
streaming it and they're going 

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,840
to start like 30 minutes before 
the launch actually starts after

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,560
completion. 
Completing the investigations in

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,800
the loss of Starship on its 9th 
test flight, which is this one 

49
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,440
FAA required investigation to 
Starship. 

50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,920
This is the FAA website. 
By the way, SpaceX Starship 

51
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:01,920
flight 9 mishap is closed. 
The FAA is happy that SpaceX 

52
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:06,080
invested them, investigated 
themselves and found no 

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,040
wrongdoing. 
There's no reports of public 

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,160
injury or damage to public 
property. 

55
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,960
The FAA oversaw it accept the 
findings of SpaceX LED 

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,240
investigation. 
The final mishap report cites 

57
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,200
the probable root cause for the 
loss of the Starship vehicle as 

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,760
a failure of a fuel component. 
So basically what SpaceX has to 

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,320
do here or what they had to do 
is they had to take the data 

60
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,600
that they got from Flight 9. 
What the heck happened? 

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,040
And of course, the FAA says a 
failed fuel component. 

62
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,160
SpaceX knows that. 
I said, hey, FAA, this is what 

63
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,880
happened and this is how we're 
going to fix it. 

64
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,560
We're going to show you exactly 
the steps we're going to take, 

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,360
and then we're actually going to
fix it. 

66
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,640
We're going to show you that, 
too. 

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,880
That's what SpaceX did. 
And then the FAA said, good job,

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,320
SpaceX. 
Let's get you flying again. 

69
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,120
So right here, SpaceX identified
the corrected actions to prevent

70
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,000
the recurrence of the event. 
SpaceX also has said the same 

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,560
thing, basically. 
Now let's get into the flight a 

72
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,080
little bit, and this is from 
Spacex's website. 

73
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,440
Upcoming flight will continue to
expand the operating envelope on

74
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,280
the Super Heavy booster. 
I love this wording with 

75
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,120
multiple landing burn tests 
planned and will also target 

76
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,880
similar objectives as previous 
missions. 

77
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,920
Basically going to be the same 
thing, including Starship's 

78
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,560
first payload deployment and 
multiple re entry experiments 

79
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,560
geared towards returning the 
upper stage to the launch site 

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,200
for catch. 
So they're not going to send the

81
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,640
upper stage to the launch site 
for catch yet. 

82
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,120
Now these are experiments. 
Re entry experiments geared 

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,680
towards returning the upper 
stage. 

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,600
Meaning the upper stage is going
to do experiments, they're going

85
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,520
to take that data and they're 
going to use it on future 

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,080
flights. 
That's how are they going to get

87
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,640
the ship back to the launch 
site. 

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Now, they haven't been able to 
land the ship in a while. 

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Last three flights, kaboom. 
No way to land it when it's in a

90
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,320
million pieces. 
I mean, I guess technically the 

91
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:12,000
pieces landed, but the ship as a
hold in the land. 

92
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,480
The booster for the flight is 
attempting several flight 

93
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,000
experiments to gather real world
performance data on future 

94
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,240
flight profiles and off nominal 
scenarios. 

95
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,720
So we could see, and this is all
speculation, we could see the 

96
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:32,000
booster do a routine landing 
burn, pretty standard stuff. 

97
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,000
They've shown that they can do 
that so many times. 

98
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:36,920
But why would they do that 
again? 

99
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,680
They've caught the booster at 
the launch site. 

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,760
Why would they do that again off
nominal scenarios? 

101
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,840
Could they just be testing this 
thing to fail? 

102
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,000
It's a possibility. 
It's a possibility of that they 

103
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,520
could. 
I got a water bottle, right? 

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,880
Pretend this is the booster. 
Booster comes in pretty normal, 

105
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,320
flows down pretty pretty simple.
Now if the booster is off 

106
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,920
nominal and coming towards a 
tower, what do they do? 

107
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960
If it's off nominal coming 
towards the tower, they have to 

108
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,560
reorient it, fix it to fix it in
flight. 

109
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,280
Because if they don't fix it in 
flight after a certain time 

110
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,720
frame, wipes out the tower, 
wipes out the launchpad. 

111
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,680
SpaceX is set back months, if 
not years, because the FAA will 

112
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,200
investigate it and they'll shut 
it down. 

113
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,520
So these off nominal scenarios, 
it's not just for fun, people. 

114
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:42,440
This is because SpaceX wants to 
check out every scenario before 

115
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,760
the bad stuff happens. 
SpaceX is wild, right? 

116
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,400
We know they're wild. 
They do wild things. 

117
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:54,680
When the original kind of skunk 
works of Starship, when I was 

118
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400
there, they were just kind of 
throwing things at the wall 

119
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,760
hoping things worked. 
You know, when they were down, 

120
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,080
when they were doing the, the, 
the original tests, right? 

121
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,880
And they had all the, the single
engines and things and they were

122
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,760
flying those down at Starbase 
and all they had was gravel and 

123
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:19,280
sand in a few like army tents. 
You know what, like that was 

124
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,560
wild. 
That was an experiment. 

125
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,200
That was them thinking it might 
work. 

126
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Now they know that it does work.
And now they have to get to the 

127
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:36,200
next phase, which is we're going
to be launching 10 boosters per 

128
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,320
day if we're going to send a 
ship to Mars, right? 

129
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,640
If we're going to send a ship to
Mars, what they need to do is 

130
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,840
get fuel into orbit as fast as 
possible into the tankers. 

131
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960
So they need to have these 
boosters coming back, loading 

132
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,840
back up ships as fast as 
possible. 

133
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,240
So if anything's off nominal and
they have to ditch the booster 

134
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,400
in the Gulf, they lose a 
booster, they lose time, they 

135
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,520
lose money, and they also lose 
the ability to refuel that ship 

136
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,640
in a time frame that they 
expected. 

137
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,720
So anything that's off nominal, 
the booster, woo Hoo, you know, 

138
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,440
going wow all over the place. 
They have to fix that mid 

139
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,000
flight. 
How do they do that? 

140
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,160
They test it in real world 
conditions. 

141
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,560
That's what they're going to be 
doing with this and hopefully 

142
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,920
we'll be able to see that this 
weekend. 

143
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,160
We'll attempt these experiments 
while on a trajectory to an 

144
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,920
offshore landing point and not 
return to the launch site 

145
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,000
following stage separation of 
the booster will do a flip 

146
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,880
control direction before 
initiating its boost back burn. 

147
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640
This maneuver will demonstrate 
for the first time on Flight 9 

148
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000
or it was demonstrated on the 
first time Flight 9 and requires

149
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,360
less propellant to be held in 
reserve. 

150
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,320
Primary test objectives for the 
booster will be focused on its 

151
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,000
landing burn and will use unique
engine configurations. 

152
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,840
One of the three center engine 
used for the final phase of 

153
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,080
landing will be intentionally 
disabled. 

154
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,480
This could make it spin out of 
control, Could make it go wild. 

155
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,760
But that's what they want. 
They have to gather real world 

156
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,480
data on the ability for a backup
engine from the middle ring to 

157
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,400
complete a landing burn. 
Wild. 

158
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,280
It's crazy. 
Buser will then transition to 

159
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,680
only two center engines for the 
end of the landing burn, 

160
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,920
entering a full hover while 
still above the ocean surface, 

161
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,040
followed by a shutdown and drop 
into the Gulf of Ameriko. 

162
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:29,600
Americo Starship upper stage 
will again target multiple in 

163
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,760
space objectives. 
Starlink simulators. 

164
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:39,280
I got to open that door. 
People on Reddit love to yell 

165
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,080
about this and scream about this
into the void. 

166
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,200
How can SpaceX? 
Make a rocket. 

167
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:47,880
How can they make a giant rocket
that's 400 and 500 feet tall but

168
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,240
the kid just. 
Open up a. 

169
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Door in space. 
I've said it. 

170
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,600
I'm going to own up to it. 
I'm that I'm one of those 

171
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,600
people. 
How do you, how do you make a 

172
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,280
giant rocket and then you can't 
open up a door? 

173
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,880
I know it's harder than that. 
It's not a garage door where you

174
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,400
push a button and it goes up. 
I know it's more difficult than 

175
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,440
that, but it's still funny. 
You know, you got to call them 

176
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,480
out on some of this stuff and 
I'm sure the engineers are like,

177
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,840
oh man, right. 
So you're going to be doing 

178
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,360
several experiments. 
Significant number of tiles have

179
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,440
been removed from Starship to 
stress test vulnerable areas 

180
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,320
across the vehicle during re 
entry. 

181
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,360
The stress test might just blow 
up another Starship. 

182
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:34,880
Multi motelic tile options, 
including one with active 

183
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,680
cooling, will test alternative 
materials for protecting 

184
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,360
Starship during re entry. 
If they could reduce the amount 

185
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:48,040
of tiles, they will reduce the 
complexity of the ship and will 

186
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:54,640
reduce the complexity of the 
reentry of the ship, which in 

187
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,120
the future will be great because
A they can build ships faster 

188
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,440
and B they can refurbish ships 
faster to fly again. 

189
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,920
Because if you have think about 
it like this, if you can cut 

190
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,600
down 1000 tiles, say if the 
thing has 2000 tiles, you cut 

191
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,480
that in half, you have 1000 
tiles. 

192
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,280
That's half the work and either 
way, building it or recovering 

193
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640
it. 
So on the size of the vehicle, 

194
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,240
functional catch fittings are 
installed and we'll test the 

195
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,880
fittings thermal and structural 
performance because they have to

196
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,480
catch this thing eventually. 
Along with a section of the tail

197
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,280
line receiving a smooth and 
tapered edge to address hotspots

198
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,800
observed during re entry, a 
Starship 6th test flight. 

199
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:45,280
So as you can see, flights way 
back to six are determining what

200
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,240
they're doing for Flight 10. 
So anything for Flight 10 could 

201
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,440
determine what they're going to 
be doing for Flight 16. 

202
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,280
Something like, I don't know, 
somewhere in the future. 

203
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,760
Everything builds on each other,
right? 

204
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,960
All the data that they get from 
Flight 1 builds up to Flight 10.

205
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,240
It's all in a part of the same 
system. 

206
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,960
Starship for entry profile is 
designed to intentionally stress

207
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,960
the structural limits of the 
upper stages, rear flaps while 

208
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,560
at the point of maximum entry, 
dynamic pressure. 

209
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:21,760
Now I'm going to say it, and I 
want you to probably say it too,

210
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,120
but RIP in peace for the ship 
because they're going to be 

211
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,400
structurally testing the limits 
of the upper stages rear flaps. 

212
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,160
I don't think that's going to 
make it it while at the point of

213
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,840
maximum entry dynamic pressure. 
They've never done this before. 

214
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,920
This is the first Test of this. 
So let me know in the comments, 

215
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,040
what do you think? 
Oh, please, please. 

216
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,000
What do you think? 
Do you think it's going to make 

217
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,640
it? 
This is stressing me out, Elon. 

218
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,680
The intentional stress, the 
structural limits of the upper 

219
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:05,280
stages, rear flaps without the 
maximum point of of entry, 

220
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,280
dynamic pressure. 
Come on, SpaceX, we don't want 

221
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,560
to lose another ship. 
What are you going to do? 

222
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,920
Can't do anything. 
It's going to blow up. 

223
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,600
The thing's going to things 
going to blow up. 

224
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,280
It's over. 
I'm done. 

225
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,320
I'm just I'm done. 
Goodbye. 

226
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,560
Flight tests continue to provide
valuable learnings to inform the

227
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:30,280
design of the next generation 
Starship. 

228
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,880
Super heavy vehicles production 
ramping up. 

229
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,440
OK, so it's going to blow up. 
Starship's going to blow up. 

230
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,480
Boosters going to blow up. 
Maybe, who knows, maybe we'll 

231
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:48,360
lose both FAA they're OK 
everything's going for the FAA 

232
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,400
Flight 10 August 4th. 
This is a long time ago, July 

233
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,440
11th, but this is a post by Luke
LFG. 

234
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,800
Of course, this is for the for 
the flight operations of 

235
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,200
Starship Flight 10 launch 
vehicle communications for test 

236
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,480
Flight 10 mission launching from
Starbase, Texas. 

237
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:14,080
And this is for the Super heavy 
booster. 

238
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,400
And basically the FCC is saying 
it's OK for them to communicate 

239
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,360
between the booster, the ship 
and the ground. 

240
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,960
So that's all go there's a no 
Tim now for French Guyana, a 

241
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,520
risks of elements fallout during
launch of ship flight 10 

242
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,720
Starship flight 10 August 24th 
25th 26th 27th 28th September 

243
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,720
2nd September 3rd. 
So those are kind of a, an idea 

244
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,600
of the flight dates. 
If something doesn't work on the

245
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,320
24th, which is this Sunday, the 
25th is a possibility, 26th is a

246
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:51,360
possibility, 27th is a 
possibility, etcetera, etcetera.

247
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:58,400
Same for Cuba, Havana, Havana, 
August 25th, 26th, 27th, 

248
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,640
September 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 
6th, 7th, 8th. 

249
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,440
So basically what we're 
expecting is Starship to fly 

250
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:13,600
this Sunday and if it doesn't, 
then you know, basically a 

251
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,840
backup days. 
That's what that is. 

252
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,400
It's backup days for the ship 
flight 10. 

253
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:25,520
And of course, before we 
actually get to it and know 

254
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,680
exactly when it's going to fly, 
we always go to the road 

255
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,800
closures, Rd. closures. 
Since it's Sunday, today is what

256
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,680
day is today, Tuesday, today's 
Wednesday. 

257
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,200
So we still, we still have a few
days before the road closures 

258
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,920
will actually come into effect, 
maybe tomorrow, maybe the next 

259
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,880
day, but we're going to see if 
the Starship, if Starbase is 

260
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,400
going to close down the roads. 
And you know, SpaceX has better 

261
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,680
reach on this stuff because they
have the, the orders to close 

262
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,240
down these roads. 
So they'll close them down when 

263
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,360
they need to. 
But there's no, there's no word 

264
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,280
from the government yet about 
closing down the roads of Hwy. 

265
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,280
4. 
Highway 4, if you're not 

266
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,720
familiar, is the road that goes 
all the way down Starbase. 

267
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,880
You can drive along Hwy. 4 and 
you can basically drive like 

268
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,800
kind of through Starbase. 
It's really, it's a really weird

269
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,200
thing. 
I lived there for about a year 

270
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,480
and did on the on the road 
reporting and I was you 

271
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,360
basically drive down Hwy. 4 the 
whole way all the way to the 

272
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,080
beach. 
And on the way to the beach, on 

273
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,920
the left side there is the 
production facility and on the 

274
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,720
right side now there's Massey's 
too, which is the one test 

275
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,920
facility before you actually get
to like star base proper. 

276
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960
But on the left side there's the
big star base facility. 

277
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,360
And then if you keep going down 
about a mile, going around kind 

278
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:58,080
of a curvy curve and at like 
right by the beach, there's a 

279
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,000
giant rocket launch facility 
that you can just pull up on. 

280
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,920
It's wild. 
And they close it down for these

281
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,680
rocket launches because they 
don't want anybody to get hurt, 

282
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,760
basically. 
And there's a 7 mile kind of 

283
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,000
radius around it, 7:00-ish mile 
radius around it where you're 

284
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,520
not supposed to be on your boat 
in your plane or in person or 

285
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:25,680
anything, any, anything near it.
So they closed all of that off 

286
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:29,880
before, you know, before they do
any of these flights. 

287
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,840
So if you're going to one, if 
you're going to flight 10, I 

288
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,440
urge you to stay outside of the 
seven mile range. 

289
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,960
You can go to South Padre 
Island. 

290
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,440
South Padre Island is pretty 
cool. 

291
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,440
Was there a bunch during doing 
reporting and talking to people 

292
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,480
before the flights and things? 
And I was there before the 1st 

293
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,600
flight, so I didn't get a chance
to see one of these flights. 

294
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,560
I'm actually working on it, so 
hopefully I'll get to see one of

295
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,760
these flights. 
And if some of you are wondering

296
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,880
where I've been, life is wild. 
That's all I got to say. 

297
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,640
Very happy. 
Life is wild and it's just good 

298
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,920
stuff. 
And for some of the people out 

299
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,640
there that have been following 
this channel for a long time, 

300
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,120
you've noticed some changes 
going on, right? 

301
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,080
Started talking about helping 
people with their Youtubes or 

302
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,080
their podcasts. 
So those are the things that I 

303
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,600
do. 
I do those for a living. 

304
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,960
I've been helping people with 
their channels for a long time. 

305
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,080
They've been helping people with
their podcasts for a long time, 

306
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,920
been helping people with their 
digital presence for a very long

307
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,520
time. 
So that's why you've seen some 

308
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,720
of these things because this is 
my channel and it's always been 

309
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,560
sort of when I started, it was 
like I did SpaceX stuff, I did 

310
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,160
Space Flight, I did video games,
I did vlogs, I did all sorts of 

311
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,080
things. 
And then I just recently I've 

312
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,800
been moving back into doing like
more personal, like my kind of 

313
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,160
stuff. 
Even though I love SpaceX and I 

314
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,480
love Starship, I'm doing a 
little bit more. 

315
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,160
But if you like SpaceX and like 
Starship, please stick around. 

316
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,160
Don't don't leave because the 
stuff is going to happen again. 

317
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,600

I dig through the analytics 
still I see everybody that comes

319
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,680
to the come to the page. 
I've noticed that about 24% of 

320
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,120
you are subscribed and then 76. 
Is that what it is percent of 

321
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:32,200
you are not subscribed but watch
the videos. 

322
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,840

323
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,400
Help me out a little bit helps 
out the algorithm. 

324
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,680
Leave a comment down below about
the ship blowing up and the 

325
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
booster blowing up. 
It's going to be crazy, but I 

326
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,600
still have a passion for 
Starbase Starship Space Flight, 

327
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,520
so it's not going anywhere.

comment, even if it's just a 
rocket emoji. 

330
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,680
It helps out the algorithm, 
helps the channel go boop up a 

331
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,600
little bit more, and now life is
kind of winding down in a good 

332
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,360
way, and I'll have more time to 
focus on this stuff. 

333
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,560
So thank you so much for 
watching today. 

334
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,080
I appreciate you and I'll see 
you in the next one. 

335
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,920
OK, Take care of yourselves and 
also take care of each other. 

336
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,720
Bye. 
All right, I'm going to hit the 

337
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,480
button, the stop recording 
button. 

338
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,480
Where is it? 
So we're here. 

339
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,040
OK, bye.
