00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,900
Hi everybody. 
Welcome back to the space news 

2
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:06,000
pod, and welcome to 2022. 
Happy New Year, everybody and 

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,800
let's get into the starship talk
right now. 

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,200
So SpaceX Starship is having an 
incredible year this year. 

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,600
If everything goes well for it, 
but right now let's talk about 

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,600
the something is happening 
currently actually here in Boca 

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Chica, there is a weather watch,
that's pretty interesting. 

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,800
It also could be harmful to 
SpaceX Starbase because SpaceX 

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,700
Starbase down by the gulf. 
Cameron County is where it's at 

10
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,700
and Camera County, just had a 
weather. 

11
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:44,300
Advisory, it is a firewatch. 
So let me tell you about this 

12
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:46,100
fire. 
Watch it happened today and I 

13
00:00:46,108 --> 00:00:49,200
was down there earlier today. 
The wind was absolutely insane. 

14
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,500
35, 40 miles an hour, I could 
barely get out of my car. 

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,000
My car door would barely open. 
The wind was pushing me in, and 

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,400
I had to really lean into it to 
get out. 

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,100
Is incredible. 
How forceful this wind is? 

18
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:07,000
And it's also dry right now. 
So anything that's dry and 

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,600
windy, it's very hazardous. 
So the National Weather Service 

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,100
put out a fire warning. 
So we have to watch for a fire 

21
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:19,800
for any fires around Starbase 
today and it's affecting Cameron

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,200
County. 
So this is about the wins 30 to 

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,000
40 miles, an hour. 
It was insane. 

24
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:29,200
Like I said before, humidity, 15
to 35 percent pretty low, 

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,600
humidity for Azaria impacts any 
fires that develop will likely 

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,800
spread rapidly so any fires that
happen near Starbase. 

27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,800
If there are any fires down 
there they could spread rapidly.

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,400
I know it's the gulf is very wet
down there but there are dry 

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,600
areas in that area and where 
SpaceX, it's a Starbase, it's 

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,800
basically dry, you know, 
everything around it is dry 

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800
except for the water in the gulf
and inlets and stuff, but the 

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,700
impacts any fires that develop 
will likely Spread rapidly. 

33
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,900
That's because the wind outdoor 
burning is not recommended at 

34
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,600
this time. 
SpaceX uses a lot of welding. 

35
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,500
A lot of people aren't at 
Starbase today, so luckily a lot

36
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:13,800
of people are on vacation, 
they're out of town, visiting 

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,000
relatives, their stay at home, 
they're being safe and so 

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,700
Starbase hopefully we'll be safe
all day. 

39
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:25,000
That's until 6:00 p.m. today on 
the 2nd of January Red Flag 

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,300
Warning means critical fire 
weather conditions are 

41
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:28,900
occurring. 
The show is brought to you by 

42
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:33,000
backblaze As I use back place to
back up my podcast, my video 

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,200
files, all of my writing stuff, 
and all my photos. 

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200
And you get unlimited computer 
backup, for Macs and PCs for 

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,900
just $7 a month. 
You can backup your own 

46
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:45,700
documents photos videos. 
Drawings projects, all of your 

47
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:49,000
data and access your backed up 
data from anywhere in the world 

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,400
using the web app and you can 
access the files on your mobile 

49
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,700
to iOS Android apps all covered.
And this is a cool part. 

50
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:57,700
This is my favorite part. 
You can restore it by mail, a 

51
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:01,500
hard drive will come to your 
house All your data shipped to 

52
00:03:01,508 --> 00:03:04,200
your door, I could come to your 
business to and you can restore 

53
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:08,100
return refund program so you can
buy a hard drive restore, send 

54
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,500
the hard drive back within 30 
days and get a full refund. 

55
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:14,900
So basically they ship you this 
hard drive and then you ship it 

56
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:18,000
back and you don't ever pay for 
it which is the perfect program 

57
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400
for somebody who has huge files 
and you don't want to waste days

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,700
and days, downloading terabytes 
and teraflops of data. 

59
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:26,500
And if you're worried about 
accidentally, deleting your 

60
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:29,800
files to bucks extra month, you 
can increase your retention. 

61
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,400
History to one year and I use it
for all of my video. 

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,700
Files comes in super handy. 
So seven dollars plus two 

63
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:39,700
dollars nine dollars a month and
you get everything backed up. 

64
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:44,000
He's a mind for up to a year.

80
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,700
shortly in general. 
These conditions include 

81
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:49,800
sustained. 20-foot, Winds of 25 
mph or greater humidity. 

82
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:54,900
Ranging from below 25% to below.
45% of the coast each lasting 

83
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,700
for two hours longer. 
And cured fuel. 

84
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:01,100
So humidity. 
Very big factor in this usually 

85
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,100
pretty humid down here. 
We're right now. 

86
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,700
It's not that bad. 
It's really not that bad. 

87
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:11,300
So just we're going to keep our 
eye on it and hopefully 

88
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000
everything's going to be good 
here in Cameron County and Boca 

89
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Chica. 
And SpaceX is Starbase. 

90
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,300
So I'll let you know, if 
anything else pops up with that.

91
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,400
So that was the first thing of 
intrigue for today for Starbase 

92
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,700
and Starship. 
Now, let's move on to the test 

93
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:27,700
schedule. 
Of Starship, which will be 

94
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:33,400
happening starting in January, 
fourth Tuesday, coming up coming

95
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,600
in hot on Tuesday, the test 
schedules coming and that's from

96
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,900
10 a.m. till 6 p.m. so 10. 
A.m. till 6 p.m. all day long, 

97
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
eight hour, test range for 
Starship. 

98
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:47,300
What are they going to be doing?
Just recently Starship did a 

99
00:05:47,308 --> 00:05:50,500
static fire test. 
It looked like it was 

100
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:54,400
successful, there's a little bit
of weirdness going on with one 

101
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,500
of the manhole covers. 
It looked like there's a 

102
00:05:56,508 --> 00:05:58,800
possible leak there a 
cryogenically. 

103
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,600
So it's possible something's 
going on with that. 

104
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,300
They need a little time to fix 
it up. 

105
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,700
So January 2nd is today and then
January 4th is when they start 

106
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:12,200
the test schedule and then after
that the first, sorry, the 

107
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,100
fourth is when they start to 
test schedule on Tuesday, fifth,

108
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:16,800
and then the sixth. 
So Tuesday Wednesday and 

109
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,300
Thursday from 10 a.m. till 6 
p.m. we'll see. 

110
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,400
What happens there with the 
SpaceX Starship test schedule, 

111
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,200
going forward, possibly another 
static fire, but first and 

112
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,400
foremost if there is a leak that
manhole and the side of 

113
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Starship, they have to fix that 
first. 

114
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,800
So this could be possibly 
another cryogenic test. 

115
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,700
Make sure there's no leaks. 
Make sure nothing's going on but

116
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,400
we'll see what happens in. 
Hopefully if there was a leak, 

117
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,300
they fixed it, they can do a 
cryo test and get back right. 

118
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:52,000
To a static fire testing 
schedule again, make sure 

119
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,600
everything works again. 
Do a full wet dress, get it 

120
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,700
ready for the possible launch 
for the orbital, flight, test 

121
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:06,500
later on in 2022. 
So what happened the other day 

122
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:12,000
booster for was moved off the 
platform, move down beside 

123
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,500
Starship and the other booster 
that's on the site. 

124
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:19,300
So why did they do that while 
they may be doing work? 

125
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,500
Work the orbital launch Tower 
the olet or they could be 

126
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:28,400
working on parts of the booster.
That just need to be closer to 

127
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,300
the ground. 
I'm not sure. 

128
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:31,100
I don't know what they're going 
to do with this thing at that 

129
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,000
point so they moved it over. 
We got some footage of it. 

130
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,100
The other day when it was moving
after it was lifted and it was 

131
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,800
put into a spot next to like I 
said before the other booster 

132
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
and Starship so it's down on the
ground again and we saw it 

133
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,900
moving on our live stream and 
I'm going to point up there. 

134
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,900
That means that there's a link 
up there for our live stream and

135
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:57,100
it's it about a minute and a 
half in somewhere like that, but

136
00:07:57,100 --> 00:07:59,200
you can see there's chapters on 
that video. 

137
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,500
So it moves a little bit, you 
can hear it, you can see it, it 

138
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,900
goes behind the fuel tanks and 
then you can't see it anymore, 

139
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:08,100
but I drove past a little bit 
later and it's safe and secure 

140
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,100
in the launch Site Area. 
So we'll see if they do testing 

141
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:16,900
with booster too. 
We'll see what happens in the 

142
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:18,500
near future. 
We have a couple days coming up,

143
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:23,000
like I said the test schedule a 
couple days in the future and 

144
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,100
what is next for Starship? 
Well, after the boosting 

145
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:31,600
schedule happens, next three 
days if they do a cryogenic test

146
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,200
to test that possible leak. 
That's great. 

147
00:08:35,299 --> 00:08:40,500
If they do a test for static 
fire possible, maybe they might 

148
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:44,100
do an ignition test on it again.
That's a possibility, too. 

149
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:50,500
Now, do they move booster down 
off the test and to get rid of 

150
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:54,500
it? 
Some people have said, maybe 

151
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:59,200
they don't want to fly booster 
for Because there's upgrades to 

152
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,700
booster five. 
So why would they just kind of 

153
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,400
use this old technology and not 
move forward with booster five 

154
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:10,000
when booster for is kind of you 
know it's old by this point 

155
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,500
right booster 5. 
It's out there right now. 

156
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:16,100
It's by as 16 and S15 to start 
today. 

157
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:18,500
It's just hanging out back there
doing nothing. 

158
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,600
Could they move booster for 
during this test schedule? 

159
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,100
Did they move it back to the 
production site down the road 

160
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:30,000
and then move? 
Who's 25 down to the launch site

161
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,800
for testing that's a 
possibility. 

162
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:35,000
We'll see. 
We'll see what happens. 

163
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,100
So those are that's speculative 
of course but it is a 

164
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:43,300
possibility going forward 
because if they have all this 

165
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:48,900
time between now and the end of 
February, why wouldn't they 

166
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:51,100
move? 
Booster 5 into place a booster 

167
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:55,900
for do a fit test with ship 20 
and make sure ship 20 fits on 

168
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:59,700
booster for or booster 5. 
And then they move forward with 

169
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:03,300
a testing schedule. 
Just like they did with rooster 

170
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:06,100
for in ship 20, be a ship 20. 
Looks like it's ready to roll. 

171
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,100
Looks pretty close, you know, if
that if that leak is figured out

172
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:16,700
then ship 20, if it meets with 
booster five properly booster 

173
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,900
five could be tested, of course,
have to put the Raptors on the 

174
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:21,900
booster, but that doesn't take 
that long, you know, a couple 

175
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:24,800
days at the most, take them off 
for put them on five. 

176
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:28,800
And then they're there in a 
really good spot. 

177
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:32,000
So that's a possibility that's 
possibly. 

178
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,500
What's next for SpaceX, Starship
20 and booster for, and possibly

179
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,400
five. 
So, let me know what you think 

180
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,000
in the comments also, happy New 
Year, happy 2022. 

181
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,400
