Ok
It's good to see you getting support from advertisers like Bespoke Post, you would be their smallest channel as they don't usually use those under 100k so they obviously believe in you.
Heya Ellie - got a 3D Printer? There's a model on Thingieverse that prints out a handle for those Rode mics!
Makes them look like a regular handheld, and much more comfortable to use, can fit it with brand flags, and if you've got a studio mic-holding arm, they can clip in to a regular mic holder for a SM58 etc.
Mobile phones (then cell phones) used to be only for the rich. Now cellphones are dirt cheap. When Starship is doing point-to-point flights, I expect tickets in the low thousands of dollars, rather then tens of millions. And when that happens, I will be one of those joyriders.
Heck yes
I hope we have an option like that in the next 15 years
That be very cool. Unfortunately even regular air travel is often expensive, and
the closest thing to space flight is the Zero-G experience which is definitely not affordable at $8500 + 5% tax Thats significant money to most people.
So sadly its going to be a long time if ever for space flights to be affordable for regular people.
@@smavtmb2196 Based on what historical information do you derive your timeline? Remember, the news paper printed experts explaining that we would not be able to fly for another 100 years.
That will not happen lol
Phones are not cheap. Tiny children hands make them more affordable tho haha
It'll be interesting to see how much demand there will be for private SpaceX Dragon missions either to LEO or to the ISS. Not only is the estimated $50m plus price tag a big ask for most people, there's a significant commitment to be made for all the training that would be required in advance.
More orbital stations coming soon. The kind of competition which fixes prices. Let's see how all goes with 2 hotels in orbit.
Russians pulled it off, why can't Elon?
Ellie, the time will come when most of us will be able to fly with SpaceX.
I cant wait, i really want to go into space so bad.
Here's a couple of bucks towards getting Ellie into space.
Aww thank you!!!
You are my favourite space content creator
Wow! There are some amazing ones out there, thank you so much! 🥹
We will see Ellie in Space 🙂 In a starship! Go Ellie, Elon & thanks to Eric Best wishes to you all
Nicely done ❤❤
50 million is a drop in a bucket compared to what has to be built to accomplish this 😊
I agree!!!
Ellie, you're the best !
If BO is 30 million I'd be springing for the extra 20 million for SpaceX
The Russian Space Agency used to sell rides to the ISS for $60 million, if I remember correctly. Since SpaceX is always saying they are more efficient than the Russians, they should charge less.
No comparison between non-orbital and orbital flights (in my opinion). Edit: yes Ellie this was a good episode I enjoyed it and you did great research 👍🏻. That's why I keep coming back to your channel 🥰 apologize if my comment how about (no comparison) seemed negative. Actually you showed us that there is a pretty good comparison. 450 k versus 50 mil.
Definitely agree
But still interesting to try and outline costs
Hell , I don't want to just go to space, were do I sign up to go to Mars.
Fun video. Just one nit-picking comment: You said that Blue Origin had auctioned off a seat for $28 million, "over 100 times what Virgin Galactic is charging." If VG charges $450 thousand, then $28M is only about 62 times that, not over 100 times.
Thanks Ellie. Wishing you the best.❤
Early adopter tax.
Space tourism is when you go and get nothing done.
Paying for progress, isn't space tourism, It's space exploration.
Exploration takes many forms. Economic exploration is one of them.
Your Bespoke promo code almost looked like "LEGIT" at first glance. Awesome.
Nice video Ellie and funny too!
I tried to let my jones flow I’m glad you liked it ! Getting someone to laugh can be hard!
all blue origin is is just a souped up parachute drop ride. i think you can get one of those without taking 12G.
i find the comparison with blue origin a bit rough, blue origin with a few minutes of weightlessness versus 6-7 days in real orbit?:D
Thanks, Ellie!
If purchased in bulk, 15 or 20 flights over 3 years, the prices could be reduced, even more. Hopefully, after 2 to 5 private stations are in orbit, this will happen. Axiom Space is in a position to make this happen.
I choose SpaceX!, but I will have to start cutting back on Starbucks coffee. However, since I don't drink Starbucks coffee, I will probably never save up enough...
BAHAHAHAHA!!
I have the same problem
Space tourism has been unjustifiably and mistakenly ignored in the space community. It's going to be a HUGE driver of space exploration and development going forward. Absolutely massive.
Even if you have money but to ride SpaceX dragon, you have to went through a lengthy training too. I think not many tourist (especially wealthy one) want to go through that.
Wow! You´re so sweet! Great info. Thanks a lot. Go girl! much love from Acapulco.
Marcus House if you're on speed, Ellie in Space if you just rolled a scoobie....😉❤
In the future there will be a commercial space station/hotel & companies like blue origin & rocket lab will fly people up there & back...
That will require getting to orbit, which Virgin 'Galactic' (what a misnomer!) can't do.
I love my IFT3 shirt, and I listened to the ad!
12:40 - So that means that both SpaceX and Blue Origin have proof that the In Flight Abort systems of their human rated vehicles function properly, and while it'd be a physically straining event for anyone who happened to experience it in the future, just the knowledge that these systems work, would lower the stress level of anyone planning on flying in these vehicles.
Meanwhile, at Boeing,....
Hmm... sounds like a GoFundMe or Kickstarter is in order so you can beat Tim (Everyday Astronaut) to space 😅
Poitically correct pricing for Blue Origin -- what a surprise!
I guess any discussion of ticket prices probably has to start with the cost of launching.
Several years ago Musk was talking about getting launch costs to at least low earth orbit down to $16M per launch. I assume that target has been achieved with boosters reusable 20x, and now SpaceX is trying to get some kind of certification for 40x. A Falcon crew capsule though only has 4 seats for now although it's large enough to stuff many more.
Virgin Galactic and I think Blue Origin only take passengers to the edge of space and not clearly into orbital space.
I expect that although SpaceX flights have the potential to last any length of time depending on possibly meeting up with an orbital station like the ISS or some other permanently orbiting destination, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin flights can't last more than a few hours total to experience weightlessness for maybe 15 minutes and then a return to earth. Because everything is likely reusable a large number of times, costs are probably minimal but number of passengers per flight wouldn't be many... maybe 8 at most.
Although I heard somewwhere that Virgin Galactic has run into cash flow problems and may not still exist, Blue Origin supposedly is long delayed as well. If Blue Origin purchases ULA as rumored, maybe that could be a shot in the arm overcoming obstacles and start moving Blue Origin forward again.
Great Video ! With the Boeing Starliner launching soon to the ISS the cost to LEO the prices will rise slower or maybe start to drop in cost ! With the ISS going into retirement soon after 2030, the new stations must start launching soon ! A new low inclination LEO CSS heading East from the KSC with a Fuel Depot nearby is a great location ! The SpaceX Crew Dragon, the Boeing Starliner and the Sierra Space Crew Dream Chaser launching to the LEO CSS can carry a Crew with Space Tourists of four to six or seven passengers to the LEO station ! With six or seven passengers to the station, the cost of a trip to LEO may decline a modest amount ! Once a LS Fuel Depot is in operation at the South Pole Lunar Outpost/Base (Clementine Base) the cost of a Lunar mission will be reduced by a large amount from the NASA SLS Lunar Gateway missions ! The Tech developed to return to the moon to stay, can take US and the world to Mars and beyond ! tjl
I like the IFT3 design. I looked at your store. I didn't see it. Will it be available on a mug?
You're right Ellie, Air Travel used to only be for the wealthy. Once Starship is operational, the cost will come down a hundred fold. In the area of sub $100k eventually.
Ellie .... for SpaceX Tourism, I can see SpaceX re-installing the other 3 or 4 seats, that NASA reused to allow for CCM (Commercial Crew Mission) flights. SpaceX can modify Dragon for (1) 90 minute trip around Earth, then do a return splashdown off the Florida Coast or Hawaii or San Diego (a 2-for-1 deal).
For a Commercial Tourism flight with Starship, SpaceX can begin with a passenger complement of 7, that work it up to more.
What? The DeerMoon is already over twice of that.
So plane flights are about 1/5th the cost now. That would put the future retail cost for a flight at around $10million. Still not cheap.
I've just paid for a trip to Proxima Centauri .
How much?
Did you survive the storm down there in Houston ok.
Hopefully I'll be able to take a trip in my lifetime.
So, are you starting a kickstarter to scrape together the money for a ticket? 😉
Ellie, you are brilliant. You "made my day!"
I think private Dragon missions will be far more attractive to corporations than individuals. The idea that they can select an astronaut and carry specific research to orbit when before they had to get on a waiting list for an ISS mission and hope for the best will be a big deal for some companies. I don't think actual space tourism in orbit is here yet. That will take maturation of Starship as well as private space stations being constructed to really take off. Until then it will be corporations and the odd very wealthy individual paying for these rides.
“If you have to ask how much?” Then you can’t afford it.
For the price you're paying they let you keep the space suit.
So that's why I think that for the common people a colab between the 3D-model rocket company and Ellie in Space to make a 3D printed SpaceX helmet and an Ellie in Space suit that looks a lot like a SpaceX IVA suit with a USA flag patch on one shoulder and a Ellie In Space patch on the other shoulder (but in reality is just a hoodie with sweat pants) would be interesting merch.
Matching gloves would be harder to pull of, but yeah
Does it disturb the ad revenue if I put the video speed on double?
Unfortunately....Yes
The high altitude balloon would be the best value right now...
Love the content thanks 👍
But you forget to mention the next-level commitment with SpaceX joyride, which requires substantial training that lasted weeks, unlike virgin galactic, like a 3 hours course 😜
Good point about the need for more training on Dragon.
BO and Axiom have both flown astronauts from other countries (I think it was the same Italian astronaut, actually). I believe that this might be the trend we will see with SpaceX. A country such as India, who has their own manned spaceflight aspirations, might decide to book a SpaceX mission as a way to qualify their astronauts and claim it as a "national" mission (i.e. ISRO, ESA, etc.). At around $240 million for the entire capsule, that is not that much money for a national program.
That was Virgin Galactic and Axiom-3 that flew Walter Villadei of Italy.
@@markb2773 Oops. Thanks for the correction.
Well, the lower the price comes down, the larger the market. If they get it down to 100 000 USD or 50 000 USD, there is going to be a much larger pool of people available than 4-500 000 USD.
True, but there are not enough launches possible. Or with Dragon: ISS does not have the capacity. There will be more space stations in a few years. Space tourism will start in 2030s.
Did I saw Sarah Gillis in this Clip,working for blue origin ,I didn't know this.
epic loads of dog/cat hair on your hoodie! I own a few airbnb rentals, and dog hair is the bane of my existence. I want the place spotless between each set of guests, so that groups without dogs don't feel they're staying in a 'pet-friendly' place. luv ya Ellie, but you would be a nightmare guest, lol! extra cleaning charges, just for you :)
How about starting a go Fund Me to buy Ellie a seat .....??
All I really want to know is how the space suit works. Especially given them NASA can't design a new one for the moon themselves
they have to make IV suit so start with this and the time 10,000 per pound of what you and your supplies etc. that will give you the raw cost of you. me? i couldn't afford it at my weight. lol
13:33 social credit score is a thing! lol
You could check how much NASA and Roscosmos pay per seat
Ooh SHOCKING!!! WoW
I wait for the one way ticket to Mars. That will be my last ticket.
Lol, I see a cat owner judging from back of that hoodie.
You didn't mention that Vast Space announced that their Haven-1 commercial lab will be launching on Falcon 9 late 2025 and will be serviced with the Dragon. So by early b2026 you might have a new destination in LEO
But that still gets docked to ISS.
@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx No, Vast will be its own free flying little mini space station...I believe you are thinking of the future Axiom modules that will be attached to the ISS at first but then later uncoupled when they retire the ISS after 2030 or so.
Love my new IFT 3 T-SHIRT. ❤😁🌴🚀🚀🚀
You bought one!? Thank you so much!
@ellieinspace yes. Next time you're in Cape Canaveral /Cocoa Beach area for a launch/ landing I will be wearing it. Very funny doggie hat lol🤔😁🌴🍹🌴🚀🚀🚀
I would love to watch you fly to space on dragon.
1:01 "How much are these tickets, I'm going to tell you."
17:10 "No prices have been listed."
I just watched the video for 19 minutes based on a lie!
Thanks for the heads up. I'll close out the video now.
🎶"Fly me to the Moon"🎶
ISS is a bottleneck, which will not allow for more than two privat missions a year. More orbital plattforms are coming soon. Some with special hotel modules. Let's see how that might fix prices.
🤗😘
Virgin needs to step up their game
Well NASA was paying around $60 million for a seat on the Soyuz a few years ago so i wouldn't be surprised if SpaceX charged at least that today, possibly more.
One way "ordinary folk" might stand a chance to get a seat would be through a lottery system, i'd happily pay $20 for a ticket for the chance, just need another 3 million people to do the same.. 😉
Actually, towards the end before SpaceX gave us Crew Dragon to the ISS, Russia was charging the US and others 85 million a seat. (Fun fact: Starliner is thought to be very close to 90 million/seat as compared to Dragons 55 million/seat).
I do not know why I am blocked from your twitter account. Private missions should drop by a factor of ten on Starship. If set up with rows of seats for point-to-point SpaceX was once claiming that the ticket cost would not be much more than a first-class air ticket.
Hmm, SpaceX charges the USA 55 million dollars to the iss. But as low as 50 million to launch a payload. 220 million per launch of 4 astronauts. I cannot see why 170 million more for crew dragon. 70 or 80 million for 4 astronauts seems more reasonable.
Reasonable?
🤔....I'm not sure tourism is really the goal here. That they are offering transport to ISS makes me think this offering is really intended for commercial and State passengers more than tourist. I mean there are various Nation States who are eligible to fly on a Crew Dragon, but do not have manned spaceflight capability themselves. Those States may see a 55ish million a seat ticket to LEO or ISS as a very good deal to get their Astronauts in space. Currently if a country who wants to go to ISS has to join a NASA crew. That has a huge set of commitments and cost attached to it and your participation will always be a low priority to NASA. Moreover whatever you want to do will have fit in NASA's priorities and will need their approval.
If instead Companies and States book passage with SpaceX for what is officially a private commercial mission they can cutout a lot of red tape, commitments and cost. If the Mission doesn't involve ISS there is no reason for NASA to be involved at all. This again could make Crew Dragon very attractive to Commercial and State customers wanting to conduct manned activity in LEO.
Don't forget the privat orbital stations, coming soon.
To get a cheaper flying ticket, Ellie, you should also think about losing weight ! 😁😂😊
Title is deceiving, the cost isn't revealed.
Virgin Galactic initially was 200K but has since gone up to 450K now. SpaceX through Axiom is about 55 million and who knows about secretive Blue Origin...probably much closer to SpaceX than Virgin Galactic unless they need you for a publicity stunt then it might even be a free trip....who knows?
Thank you Delta airlines
🤑
for $55M do I get to keep the suit?
SpaceX is using airline pricing. Want a seat, how much money do you have? If SpaceX has seats available and someone has too much money, they should get together.
First
Early bird gets the worm? 😄
I thought Robert Henry Lawrence Jr. was the first black astronaut?? He died in a plane crash so never flew in space but yea I thought he was first.
I'm just curious what the travel insurance premium will be or if any insurance company will take on these spacefarers.
Do you have the price NASA paid for each Gemini seat ? SpaceX are just getting started. After they get confident on their reusability price is likely to come down ….
This is the company that by this year would have begun colonisation of Mars. Dear Ellie you are stuck in Earth. Elysium is not for you. I don't think you will get a ticket selling bespokepost.
So how much is it??? You never say???
$55m a seat
I mean... the cat hair :)
Ellie, didn't you blow chunks on the vomit comet?
You know what the real waste is? 20 minutes to say a number...
Start a fund me account Ellie for a Starship to space which if each subscriber could contribute a buck you would nearly have a quarter of the 400k ! I say that would be a great down payment to get you a ride .
Starship will drastically lower those costs!
Your tone seemed a lot more negative on Blue origin than it was on Virgin Galactic.
Oh I thought I sounded less enchanted by VG
Its going to be a long long time before the middle class can afford to fly in space. They talk about humans becoming multiplanetary-sure-but only for PHD's and the rich. There has been a microscopic amount of ordinary people who have flown in space and that's going to be the case for at least the next century.
Things are accelerating quickly though.
I can barely afford my ISP, why do you think UA-cam is my only entertainment.
Ellie! #1 Sorry to say, loose the #20 you gained. #2 Where is the price you eluded to in the title?
This is incredibly rude.
Thought you were a kind person.
that shirt is FULL of hair
Even Elon Musk cannot afford it! Musk not be paid in his Tesla employment since 2018!😂
It' pronounced poo-keeh. Best poke. Hawaiian word. It's not japanese.
Who gives a F," about the color of someone's skin color. We have to get over it. We are all the same.
Who cares about space...waste of money. Useless waste of money.
How about you bring supersonic back
DOG HAIR EVERYWHERE..................HOLY COW....shave your hoodie
Actually kitty hair, two kitteh
