Block 3 is on us. It's coming.
It's so crazy that this is actually happening.
I cannot believe it. Block 3 which they will send
people to the moon with and eventually things to Mars.
But we have some moon updates today.
We have some block 3 updates today.
We have some Elon updates today. We also have some other like the
interior actually of the the moon Lander, the HLS Starship is
we're gonna talk about that a little bit.
There's a little bit of information on that that SpaceX
released. And also there's a there's the
crew display that they showed a little bit ago and we're gonna
talk about that a little bit. But we also have to talk about
something that's very important here.
And this is that Elon Musk and Starship and company, SpaceX and
company, I've been pushing for Starship HLS ever since the NASA
director put back on the table that Blue Origin has been kind
of put back in the mix with this blue moon.
And look at this guy, Jared Isaacman.
What's up, buddy? What's up, Jared?
Now this blue moon, look at how big this thing is, by the way,
gold surrounded by gold royalty of Jeff Bezos standing at the
base of this Lander. Now this is this is the key
factor for SpaceX releasing what we just saw, which is all of
this information about the HLS Lander on their website.
Because they don't they, they were told that they're going to
be opening up the HLS Lander again for other companies to, to
be part of this HLS demonstration and also
eventually landing people on the moon surface.
So SpaceX released a bunch of stuff.
It's basically damage control, to be honest with you at this
point. And this is a little bit ago.
So they did release this a few weeks ago, but I wanted to this
is this all leads into where we're at today.
So this is all going to work out.
Now I want to show you this, what I was talking about earlier
too, the interior crew display for Starship.
OK, so these all touch screens for Starship HLS, not just
regular Starship that's point to point or Starship that's going
to launch cargo or anything like that.
This is HLS Starship and this is the interior.
And there's it's fuzzy. I got this off Twitter, but it's
fuzzy. But you can see right here, you
can see it's where my magnifying glass is down here, a crater on
the moon. You can also see a few things.
Looks like a regular, like a regular display from an airplane
or a jet or something like that. Altimeter tells you height, how
far away you are from the surface, where you're going, how
level you are. And also this shows you where
you are. This is a cool part that shows
you kind of where you are on the map of the moon as you're flying
in. And also this is, it looks like
it's a real time display of what's going on outside.
So there will be cameras on the outside of the HLS Lander.
OK, so we know that we may be getting feeds, which is really
cool. We may be getting feeds of the
HLS Lander as it lands on the moon.
Now, I'm not sure if that's going to actually happen because
if the HLS Lander has a little incident, nobody really wants to
see that, right? Like, I don't, I wouldn't want
to see that. I don't want to see it tip over.
I don't want to see people get harmed.
I don't want to see any of that. But I think it's really cool and
it's important that we show people what's going on on the
surface of the moon as it's happening because this is a
huge, huge deal. Stargazer girl 79, hello,
welcome back. We are happy that you're here.
And we're going to get into the pole in chat as well, which is
will Starship launch in January? I don't going to get into that a
little bit too. How you been, Stargazer?
Now this is another post from SpaceX and this is about the HLS
thing, right? Like many Americans were
thankful for Mr. Brideson because Jim Brinstein just told
told SpaceX in the world that SpaceX is not going to do this.
Oh, Jim Bryanstein, I don't know, man.
There's, there's parts of me that are like that.
I love Jim Bryanstein and I think he's done a great job for
all of NASA. He's done great stuff.
But at the same time, and I really see a video about this at
the same time now he's he's a paid lobbyist.
So what he's doing is pushing other companies that are not
SpaceX to do SpaceX Y things like HLS and launch astronauts
to the moon on other Landers. Now, the problem here is, is
that SpaceX won the contract, right?
They already won the contract. They know they won the contract.
And the, you know, Jim Breinstein, he doesn't.
I don't want to say this because it sounds kind of rude, but it's
like, in the grand scheme of things, he's a lobbyist.
He gets paid to lobby for other companies.
So he gets paid a lot of money to lobby for other companies and
to push SpaceX down. And we don't want that.
We don't want SpaceX to be pushed down.
We want them all to be around. We want all these Landers to
work, but we don't want them to cancel anybody because you don't
agree with them. It doesn't make any sense.
If you don't agree with with Elon, if you don't agree with
Spacex's plans, that's fine. They won the contract.
They should be able to do this.
They're already, they're kind of behind, but so is all of SOS, so
is all of the HLS program. We don't even know what the
space, if the space suits are done.
We don't know anything else about docking mechanisms.
We don't know anything about the Orion.
The Orion Artemis 2 hasn't even launched around the moon yet.
We don't even know if we can get to the moon with people.
We know that we can dock things, right?
But we don't know if Starship can dock with an Orion capsule
yet. So Jim Breidenstein is lobbying
for other companies to come in here and take that spot, even
though we have not even figured out if that is a a real thing
yet. And it's gonna take a while.
It's gonna take a while for Starship to get to a point where
they can launch an HLS version of this.
We haven't even seen any really of the HLS other than what
SpaceX had released in this document on their website.
And they're showing renders. More renders, more renders.
And I love renders. Don't get me wrong, I love
renders. But here's an interior shot of
the HMS. There's no actual photos of them
working on this thing. There's no proof or no evidence.
And Jim Breinstein is. There's one thing about Jim that
I can agree with. He says that SpaceX has fallen
behind and that SpaceX is they're not going to make their
deadlines for HLS, which it's possible they don't.
But you know what, every single space program, including Apollo,
there's been setbacks. Everything, every single rocket
launch that's ever happened ever, you can, they never launch
on time, for one. They always get, they always get
pushed back. There's always some technical
difficulties happening somewhere along the line.
So nothing's going to happen on time.
I I And it's not because somebody doesn't like SpaceX.
That's not because SpaceX isn't good.
It's because that's just what happens with rocket.
It's just rocket engineering and rocket science is really, really
hard. So it's difficult.
And the plan for SpaceX to launch humans to the HLS, it's
kind of in stasis. You know, they keep building,
NASA keeps building. NASA builds its SLS, NASA
launches some people to the moon early 2026, or around the moon,
I should say, not to the moon. They're going to go to wish the
moon around the moon, then come back down to Earth, but they're
not going to land on the moon. So the, the plan for SpaceX is
to continue building HLS, the version of HLS that they have
right now. And also they can't.
And this is the this is the thing with a prototype rocket
that Starship is right now. They can't commit to a full
design until they know that the current Starship Block 3 is
complete. Because if something goes wrong
with the plumbing on the interior, they would have to RIP
out everything in the HLS rocket if they're building it.
If something doesn't work out for regular Starship, they're
going to have to rebuild everything for HLS Starship.
If everything doesn't go well with the exterior, if something
doesn't go well with the exterior of Starship, HLS will
have to be rebuilt as well. So then building HLS in tandem
with the regular Starship at the same time, it makes sense to a
certain degree. And that's why we have renders,
and that's why we don't have a completed HLS prototype yet.
That's because we don't even have a completed Starship
prototype yet. They haven't even made it to
orbit, really. They made it to orbital
velocity, but they haven't made it to orbit.
And that's why we haven't seen HLS.
It's because there's no proof from the regular Starship that
HLS will work. Now, granted, HLS doesn't have
to come back down to Earth. HLS Starship just goes to the
moon, docks with Orion, and then HLS goes down to the surface of
the moon, comes back up, docks with Orion.
Orion brings the people back down to Earth.
So they don't need all the other stuff around, you know, they
don't need the panels, they don't need the heat shield
around Starship. So the moon version is going to
be different, but it's going to be similar but completely
different, if that makes sense. And Next up, this is what Elon
and SpaceX has said about Bridenstine and said basically
like Jim Breidenstein, he's a shill.
Now he's lobbying called for a firm called the Artemis Group
representing the host of aerospace companies vying for a
NASA business. Then if you click through here
open Secrets lobbying firm profile Artemis Group Oklahoma
Look at all this money that goes to the I don't want donate this
sorry open secrets can't donate to you, but they send money for
lobbyists. Look at how much money these
companies send to lobbyists to the Artemis Group in Oklahoma.
If we did all of this, we, if we count all this up, it's hundreds
of thousands of dollars, maybe half a million dollars, 10/20/20
thousand 30,010 thousand 10,030 thousand 60,000 from Impulse
space 20,000 and then you go on 60,000 Impulse Space Oklahoma
Space Industry Devil Authority, Development Authority 50,050
thousand 30,000 and these are all companies that are vying for
business from NASA and they're spending this amount of money.
And by the way, look at this United Mother Effing Launch
Alliance. Look at this.
Jim Bridenstine is a rich man. Now the NASA salary wasn't
enough. Look at this 300 two 3230.
So that is 700 some odd $1000 just from ula going to his group
that are positioning themselves as a group that can help you
lobby to get your company in front of Congress.
So they will send you to the moon and then you'll get that
big ass contract. You get that billion dollar
contract from NASA or numerous contracts from NASA.
So Artemis Group, Oklahoma, University of Arizona sending of
30 thousand 60,000 via set via set of $0.00 whoops down here
via set of 0. They're like, hey, by the way,
we're just checking out our our accounting at $0.00 there,
80,000 there. And then our last page as a few
others too, 60 thousand 20,060 for Voyager Space Holdings.
I wonder how much of this is just people just figuring out a
way to pad their own pocketbook. I mean, for a lobbying group,
you have a nine to five job, right?
How much money do you think you need in a year to be
comfortable? If you're Jim Bridenstine, let's
just say it's $250,000 a year. That's just, and that's good,
like quarter $1,000,000 a year, right?
That's really good money. You just take one ula paycheck,
brother, right there, 2:30 right there.
That pays Jim Bridenstine for one like one guy, right?
And how many lobbyists do you need to get all these people to
get all these companies in the good graces of NASA?
Do good work. If you do good work, that's what
they tell you, right? That's what they always tell
you. It's like you do your best work
and somebody will figure it out. Somebody will find you.
But you know what? It all tracks down to money.
It's all money, $230,000 could go straight to you.
Jim Bridenstine. But what if Jim?
Jimmy Jam? I used to call him Jimmy Jam.
I thought he was a great guy. I think he still is probably a
good guy. But if I were him and I had a
family and I'd be like, you know what, All I got to do is some
paperwork and I got to talk to some people, shake some hands.
He's a politician too. And I'm not here to rag on Jim.
I'm just telling you how it is. I like, I think Jim's probably a
stand up dude, probably a good guy, but when you get offered
the position of being a lobbyist and they just go, you know what
Jim? Not just 2:30, we're going to
give you this. We're going to give you 500,000
a year. I'm going to give you half
$1,000,000 a year. You do this every year.
We're going to guarantee you $500,000 a year for the next 4
years. So you're going to make
$2,000,000 off of this, then also probably have other gigs
going on because anything that's a lobbyist, if you're a
lobbyist, you have other people that work for you.
So this other money goes to people that help you out too,
right? So this $500,000, quarter
million or half, $1,000,000 goes a gym per year, every year.
And then the other money goes to a few other people.
They spread it out amongst a bunch of different other people
and everybody's making a making bank.
If you're a lobbyist, you make bank and especially if you're
lobbying the United States government.
And this is open secrets. So these are, if I were to put
all of this money, I'm just going to add this together and
ChatGPT real quick. OK, so page one, let me do some
ChatGPT add these totals together.
We're going to do this together. I haven't done this yet, so I
think I think it'll be interesting to see how much
money this whole lobbying firm brings in, right?
That's 2:30. That's zero.
Let's get down here. Come on, ChatGPT, don't fail me
now. Don't hallucinate.
And that's what's great about ChatGPT and all these LLMS is
that they will sometimes be very, very useful for you in
situations like this. But I think let's see how much
it's going to bring up some wild number and then let's see what
in Open Secrets if there's any other information here.
So it's evaluating the $60,000 entries just OK, so they made
2.365 million dollars, $2.365 million.
OK, So 500,000 of that, let's just say that goes to Jim,
right? And then the rest of it goes to,
I wonder how many people are lobbyists for Artemis Group
Oklahoma? How many people work there?
Lobbyists. Let's see 5 lobbyists.
OK, Jim Bridenstine, Christopher Ingram, Mark Pelant, Gabe
Sherman and Catherine Wall. All of these people are making
some bank, right? OK, so how much was that?
2.365 million / 5? Divide that by 5 by 5.
So this isn't the actual salary they're going to get, but OK, so
that's $473,000 if they paid everybody equally in this
lobbying Group 4, 173. So my guess was right, because
you don't need overhead for this, right?
There's some, there might be like some plane trips and stuff,
but everything's virtual now. You get on the Zoom call with
the senator. Sure, you got to go to some
whatever, you got to go some meet ups and whatever, but
that's, that's negligible compared to your half $1,000,000
a year salary because you're lobbying for ula and you're
lobbying for all these companies.
And I, you know, somebody like Impulse Space and Red Wire
Space, they don't have a lot of money to talk to and they don't
have the resources to talk to NASA all the time.
They, they just don't. So somebody like Jim and his
crew here, they obviously have, they serve a purpose.
They have these people's ears, right.
So this lobbying group is important for for these
aerospace companies. And I'm just looking at
Department of Defense. Yeah.
And if you get a Department of Defense contract, one of these
companies, dude, this is going to change your, your whole
company. And these are all the companies.
All the companies here that do everything.
So groups that have retained Artemis Group in 2025.
So let's see here. 200,000 and these are just the ones that
they know of right now. But there could be more State of
Oklahoma, the state of Oklahoma Ula $760,000.
All of this, all this money goes straight to the lobbyists.
And you know what? I don't think there's anything
wrong with people communicating, right?
I don't think there's anything wrong with anybody doing what
they do because I think that if you're a small company like X
Labs who can only give $10,000 but does that, you know you sell
a package, right? I do consulting.
I get it, I get it. I do consulting.
I consult for business to business brands that are trying
to break their way into social media.
So they pay me because I have expertise in this.
I've been doing this channel for a long time.
I haven't done live streams in a long time, but I've been doing
this channel and other channels for a while.
So I have an expertise in it. I've been doing it for a very
long time. I know this hardware, I know the
software, I know the, the, the way things work.
So you pay me money to do this. I'm a, I'm that guy.
I'm a consultant and that's what these people are.
These consultants though, they talk to people with a lot more
money than than I talked to. You know, I've, I've worked with
big companies. I worked with Silicon Valley
backed start-ups that are worth 1,000,050 million, $60 million.
I just worked with a company that is worth 40 million
dollars, $50 million. And the fact that these people
and these lobbyist groups, I get it, you make a lot of money
doing what they do. And all you, all you have to
really do is talk to a few people that, you know, like,
hey, you know, I got this company Astro Net XPBC and you
know, they got this really cool product.
I want you to take a look at it. And here's what it is, you know,
and then Astro Net X gives you 50 grand to talk to somebody and
the consulting space 100% you can make a bunch of money.
If you do it right and you find the right clients, you can make
a bunch of money. I have some people that I know
that are making $300,000 every month doing consulting, not for
this, not for aerospace, but for business to like large
businesses, 300 grand and they have a couple clients.
It's incredible. It's insane the amount of money
people make. It's insane.
I don't make that much money, Not as much, not $300,000 a
month or I'd do it. If I was making $300,000 as
much, I'd be month, I'd be way too busy to do anything else.
But if I also made $300,000 a month, I'd work for like a year
and then I'd be like you know what?
I'm done. Worked for like 2 years and be
like you know what, everyone's good, all my friends and family
are good and then I'd be done. But these little companies that
can give them $50,000 or X Labs here to give them $10,000, they
have no chance. You know, X Labs has no chance
to get in front of the people that they need to get in front
of in Congress and people, decision makers, the people at
the top of these companies, so or at the top of these agencies.
So I get it. I totally get it.
But SpaceX was like, you know what, don't do it to us.
He deserves credit for spearheading the creation of the
Artemis program. That's great.
After departing NASA, he created a lobbying firm called the
Artemis Group. So he saw an opportunity.
Jim Breidenstein, smart guy, saw an opportunity.
So Jim created this lobbying firm called the Artemis Group.
Maybe he takes a million because somebody else 250,000 because
somebody else 250,000 and then he takes a million per year.
Works four years on this, makes $4 million.
Him and his family are good, but they represent a large amount of
companies. Their campaigning against our
ship is either misguided or intentionally misleading.
SpaceX was selected to design and develop a HLS for Artemis
along with Blue Origin Dynetics during Mr. Bryan's tenure as
NASA administrator. We know this.
We all know this. And then he's trying to.
It was confirmed repeatedly following protest and litigation
from the companies not selected, which delayed the start of work
on the contract for many months. Yeah, so it's it's a really
weird situation to be put in, I'm sure for Jim, because he
probably thinking he's doing the right thing because these small
companies are trying to get in there and they just can't
because they don't have the resources to space XS.
Elon has all the money. And when you have the money, you
have the power, you have the resources, you have the freedom
to do whatever you want to do. And Elon is just too powerful
for anybody to to fight against, right?
