What's your thought on the FAA/EPA industrial waste water issue? Let's talk!
@@Whataboutit Elon Musk is a deranged and despicable individual.
The USA's space program is SpaceX. Elon Musk is only human and once he passes away the pace of US innovation in telecommunications, vehicle electrification, and space exploration will not stop, but will drop drastically. I expect it will be exceeded by not only China but also India. We are fools not to take advantage of the research and engineering knowledge being created and given to us at almost no cost to US taxpayers.
I Recommend that Elon begins to reengineer that Oil Rig with Launch Tower 1 then launch from International waters. Oil Drilling Rig ~ Floating City + Starship Factory + Launch Facility = Zero American Government and worthless competitive Adult Sociopathic Children's Bullshit games and Pure independence in accomplishing his dream in his lifetime. Just a suggestion to the most Amazing Empathic Billionaire alive on Earth...
It seems to me that a TV network's C-suite officer hates that long time Democrat Elon Musk is supporting Trump, so she had her news division run a hatchet job against his company, and to heck with the ramifications on US national security, US technological superiority, and even advances to life-saving telecommunications. That is my speculation.
What add was that. Oh here it comes now. Got your crap together have you. Things do take time to happen. Even Babies.
SpaceX should announce a delay in Artemis mission due to FAA delays...😂😂😂
That is absolutely possible.
Move SpaceX to Venezuela
@@showlett33 I've been thinking of it. -- And for all I know, so has Elon. It's about, how much Clout does the US have over other countries. -- Knowing the CIA track record, I guess everybody is scared shitless, except for China, Russia, and possibly a couple of other major countries. -- Come to think of it, I guess Elon needs a more robust country, like maybe China or India.
Overall, I'd actually look forward to seeing him emigrate not only from California, but the US. If Kamala wins, the US simply don't 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 to have Elon.
@@showlett33they can't. ITAR restrictions. Very few countries where they can function, most of them don't have location, or have even more awful bureaucracy. Afaik only new Zealand and Australia can be considered that met ITAR regulations and have good location. Nothing at South America (because ITAR) nor Europe (location)
But they can move to Australia
The CNBC story is by a reporter named Lora Kolodny, who seems to absolutely _HATE_ Elon. Her story falsely claimed that Starship launches cause mercury pollution. Ms. Kolodny has an English degree, with a focus on creative writing. I'll bet that neither she nor her editors have ever darkened the doorway of a science classroom, and they don't understand that burning methane and LOX cannot create or release mercury (which is something that cannot be said with as much certainty about the Al-based SRBs used by some other rocket companies).
Why do major news organizations task scientifically illiterate people, with no STEM credentials, to work as "science journalists?" Is it just because they're cheaper to hire?
It was just a typo in a SpaceX report, blown out of proportion for clicks.
SpaceX needs to begin litigation against these lying reporters. The story about Mercury contamination is absurd and totally baseless statement.
Easier to control
They have an AGENDA.
More polarization. We must rise above it.
Elon need to find a dormant volcanic island in international waters to build a new Starbase. And build a megabay that looks like a giant skull.
Pretty smart idea there
I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually did it. He’s just one accident away from becoming a supervillain.
He sure would look like a supervillain from a movie if he did and don't think the US military would put up with that.
Nah Chinese will claim it and starting sending planes & ships to block it 😂😂
They should move to China.I bet China would give him almost unlimited budget ,no environmental bullsht just to put Chines on Mars first
I'm disappointed and angry with the political weponization of the FAA.
Everything in the government has been weaponized.
Another person assuming to fit their own bias. Smh

Being an older space fan I’m always amazed at progress in the world today.
I’m amazed anything gets achieved at all these days? Instead of moving to the future, we’re surrounded by citizens that are more interested in voicing own concerns, just to promote their own self importance. Bureaucracy the distraction of Empires.
One step forwards (into someone else’s crap). Two steps back to wipe it of your shoe.
My god, if Elon and Space X had existed in the 60’s humanity would be looking beyond our solar system by now. You can’t comprehend how amazing that time was. From Kittyhawk to man on the moon 66 years. I’m glad I got see the end of that time. When technology wasn’t for bogging down progress from endless stalling opinions.
If we’re so advanced now, why do we hobble progress so badly now? For all the bad things that existed through my time I’m still here?
Just an old guys rant. Just get on with it ok? I was young once. Time flys. No point sitting on your hands listening to other peoples procrastinations. Nothing gets done. True?
Yeap I am of the same generation, the paper pirates are there with a fee and rule as fast as you develop. It blew my mind when I was working with fiber optics. Personally I am a big fan of Galen Winsor, we should have had our dream were it not for greed and money.
We did the Mercury thing in grade school... even got to do hand drawn maps of John Glenn's orbits in a 4-6 grade thingy in the auditorium..I'm still fascinated by the space advances at my age..73.. remember Dad being amazed at watching the Cardinals in color from NYC on tv...he was blown away..(born in 1924) never even thought something like that was possible...
That's 1967 or 68...
@@OldielocksNmo50 The US government only allowed what SpaceX is doing after 2000, that is why it never happened after 1960.
The government is more of an obstacle than people realize.
Hmm... What's happening in early November? I feel like something important is happening then. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm sure there is something! :O

@@Theaveragegamer_12 Unlikely.
Harris is winning it the polls, and slaughtered Trump in the debate.

CNBC only releases anti elon articles. spacex, tesla , etc. someone there really has something out for him.
So it's reverse Fox.
@@tenaciousrodent6251 Good try to use a stawman; however, Fox reports all the new when they report the news and keeps the bias to shows like Gutfield. I digress, however, your comment is a perfect example of when the far left projects (what they do when they channel Saul Alinsky).
@@diogenes64 Sorry i'm no murican but i occasionally catch a clip from CNBC and all i see is the Fox from the other side.
Hating Elon is just normal objectivity. People less charitable call him "Space Karen". Those cans might be just adequate to support a moon base, but are comically insufficient even to maintain a Mars base, never mind establish a colony.
Just looked at CNBC's website. There's a more compelling case to be made for the author of the pollutant article, Lora Kolodny, but CNBC's overall reporting of the company is fairly neutral. They literally just released an article praising the SpaceX for their success over the Polaris Dawn mission. Plus, this narrative that if one person "has it out for elon," therefore, the whole company is bad or anti-elon, just goes to show how much of a cult of personality he is. Learn the nuance and stop giving into tribalism.
These United States are being buried in bureaucracy. The primary curse of government, is that it needs to justify its own existence and ever increasing budget. Regulatory bodies, like the FCC get tied up with other regulatory bodies who want in. What should take weeks ends up taking months and years and does not actually contribute to safety. This regulatory crap is strangling the entire economy.
Your right, but its still better than Europe. You cant move here without filling out a billion forms and paying off the EU gangsters. America is the last hope of any realistic progress
This is the nature of government. Since it can confiscate money through taxes and use the printing press, it can grow bureaucracy at an extreme rate. More and more bureaucrats create more and more regulations at an ever accelerating rate. This results in productive people being eventually bogged down to a stop. The launch areas in Florida are somewhat protected by another huge bureaucracy named NASA. But in Texas SpaceX is on its own to fight the slime.
Time for a reset 😉
The FAA has learned its lessons. They got burned when they handed regulatory competences to the manufacturer, namely Boeing with their B737MAX. It might be annoying that they are taking their time, especially given that the competition in china doesn't have such hurdles. But I think in the long run it's better to be safe than sorry
Exactly correct, soon we will drown in bureaucracy.
Could we be seeing consequences of Elons support for one of the presidential candidate?
Anyone who doesn’t step in line with the white house gets punished.
Continued consequences of advocating free speech vis a vis Twitter.
Elons stands on Isreal, the support of Republicans, and lack interest in censorship, the war on the woke. Elon does not support work unions.
I'm much impressed with your comment☘ and profile.❤🌸 I also admire your good sense of humor here.🌷☘🌻 I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment, how long have you been a fan of mine??💕
Any time government is involved, everything seems to take longer than it has to…
Especially if the government does not like you.
Let the FAA do their job... By making sure that SpaceX does theirs...
Would you rather rockets fall out the sky like in china? Could you use your critical thinking skills for half a minute and figure out why the government might want to ensure nothing goes wrong?
particularly this govt. we never had a problem from 2016 to 20 getting these flights in the air
@@ericmatthews8497 The FAA are refusing to do their job until November.
Instead of commenting here on UA-cam flood your congressional representatives demanding the FAA ease up on the delays
Well, I live in Europe, Estonia. How do I do that? I am always aware of the situations in America as it leads the innovation of the world. FAA in the latest years is a real threat to spacex and the expansion of conciousness.
My Congress critter hates Elon....
The FAA has always primarily been designed around ground based flight approvals, not space rockets. Maybe they need to restructure or hire more resources to have dedicated teams for managing space applications, particularly teams that are able to fast track said applications.
Imagine the shame if SpaceX had to delay ALL launches, in particular those for the gov't, due to SpaceX deciding to do safety inspections. No flights allowed for gov't contracts until FAA allows test flights.
You forget that somewhere around half of the Falcon 9 launches are currently for Starlink satellites, and every one of those launches requires a license from the FAA. Right now these licenses are granted quickly and routinely. But if SpaceX decides to delay government launches (which, by the way, are actual money-makers for SpaceX; Starlink launches are just moving money from one of Elon's pockets to another), I could easily see that process becoming a lot slower...
@@ExtroniusAttributes wrong, Starlink is cash flow positive, its has been funding operations for quite some time.
@@ExtroniusAttributesThat is why the government has left falcon 9 alone for the most part. They need it. They don't think they need starship so the delays.
@@admarsandbeyondI don’t think you understand what he said at all
With the failure of their competition you should expect FAA issues to be fully priced into new contracts
I am a little shocked that with all of the issues with the FAA, that Elon has not just moved his operations across the border to Mexico where the FAA has no jurisdiction.
He would still have issues with the ICAO, I guess...
@@bbyers8260 As a U.S. company all of their operations in all counties is still under the jurisdiction of the FAA. So moving to Mexico wouldn’t change anything, and Mexico will have their own regulatory requirements for space launches and environmental protection.
@@fridaycaliforniaa236 would he? I mean is he having issues with them now?
He should take it to the Russian Federation.
@@andrewsarchus6036 Which would mean that there’d be no US military or nasa contracts for SpaceX, and likely their civilian satellite launches would be greatly reduced due to military and commercial export restrictions.
So basically bankrupt the company so they can’t afford to build starship at all.
Amazing how all these licensing issues suddenly popped up after Elon endorsed the opposition party…🤔
yeah, he doesn't seem so smart now ... 😮
It only ramped up after the endorsement, it actually started after he bought twitter and stopped the censorship.
Bingo.
@@Solstice42democrat voters aren't so smart
@@Solstice42 Really depends who wins in November, but supporting the current dem system is pretty sketchy due to their willingness to misuse offices for malicious prosecution.
What we need is a fully reusable bureaucracy.
You mean disposable, not reusable.
We need a portable bureaucracy that can fit in a rocket and be launched into the Sun. For scientific purposes.
A fully REPLACEABLE one is what we need.
I might settle for fully conscious.
I'd prefer a disposable bureaucracy.
This probably is more political than we (public) would have believed. With Trump's threat of asking Elon to audit federal agencies if elected could be perceived as a threat by us gov agencies w/ the 3 ltr acronyms. Most of believe there a ton of waste at nasa
Its the environmental agencies where political activists gather… using their position to affect their political agenda.
I believe it might be Boeing actually. The FAA is actually comprised of a lot of former or even active Boeing personel because Boeing has historically dominated the aerospace industry. With their failure on the ISS causing NASA to opt for SpaceX instead, this might simply be a roundabout way to be childish like Blue Origin when they didn't get the lunar contract.
Probably?
If Elon gets to audit federal agencies, he'll probably do so in the order of budget size. That means, NASA and FAA will be pretty low on the priority list.
@@realulliand what skills does elmo pocess to audit anything beyond his own personal opinion?
I'm still waiting for the (once anounced but not yet realized) sea launch platform outside the 12 mile zone which will end the jurisdiction of the FAA.
At this point he will delocalize in Indonesia. SpaceX and Indonesia... Go to search it on the web.
As an American company the FAA has control no matter where SX would launch from. The same reason why Rocket Lab needs the FAA approvals to launch out of new Zealand.
Didn't they decide not to use the platforms a little while ago?
@@iamaduckquack Then close it and open SpaceXX in South Africa, russia or China and move the operation there. If the US doesn'T want this edge, others will happily take it.
@@iamaduckquack
SpaceX incorporates a subsidiary based in Belize, or Panama, or --- wherever. That company then "buys" its ships from SpaceX, and goes ahead and launches 13 miles off the coast of Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico--- wherever...
Purely bureaucratic problems can be *WAY* more easily worked around than mixes of technology *and* bureaucracy --- which is what we have now.
Better apply for the Mars launch license now since FAA is going to drag their feet 😅
wise suggestion.
Once Trump is back in office, Elon will be sorted.
Back away from this issue for a second...isn't interesting that none of these "necessary delays" occurred until Musk started bad-mouthing the current administration? And isn't curious that a final deliberation on the license won't occur until the end of November? As in "after the election"? This is the elephant in room. And this administration has a track record of retribution for dissenters. Just a thought, but one to consider.
Actually no...but whatever y'all tinfoil crew aren't worth bother.
The administration doesn't direct the FAA to do anything. You're just making stuff up because you want to push your political view.
Also the FAA grounded the entire Falcon fleet 2 times for nonsense reasons.
This would make sense if SpaceX wasn’t already fighting the FAA way before his endorsement. And to the guy who commented above me. The falcon fleets were grounded because 2 accidents happened; not for “nonsense reasons”.
It would be no different than something happening with a Boeing aircraft and having the fleet grounded.
No need to back away, we need to face the fact our govt. has gone rogue and hates us.
1 minute, and I don’t even use notifications. My spider/space sense was tingling.

That because Muskrat creeped Taylor Swift.

SpaceX is polluting the ocean with fresh water! Oh, no!
The fluoride in the potable water makes the fishes dumb
Chlorine does kill algae.
What happens if it rains on the ocean? Isn't rain water rain water?
Don't worry, it's not as bad as all the fresh water flowing into the ocean from Greenland. That's much, much worse.
Bureaucracy...'bureau' from French, 'desk', and 'cracy' from Greek 'power'. (Yeah, loose translations, but hey you get the point.) Apparently desk power is more formidable than the power of dozens of Raptor engines?
The fact that it was NBC that broke this story says everything.
It's not the rockets they have issue wit, it's Elon himself.
Lets hope that spacex uses tower 2 for filming the launch and landing of next starship flight..😣
It may be a “cutting-your-nose-off-to-spite-your-face” move, but if I were SpaceX, I’d not launch a single ounce of hardware for NASA or the US Government until the FAA gets their act together.
So spaceX loses money and nasa will just sit on the payloads? How smart bud
Space X depends and owes it very existence to Government/military and NASA contracts.
@@ciaranryan5265 - Firstly, It owes it’s very existence to the brilliant mind of a visionary individual. While they have made some money from Government contracts, it’s not their main source of income. All I’m suggesting is that SpaceX do what the US Government does best. With any Government payload, SpaceX should conduct “exhaustive,” lengthy investigations, obfuscate, delay, make reports, shuffle those reports to someone in another office to read and edit, shuffle those reports to upper-management, who, in the meantime receives unsubstantiated information “forcing” the whole process to start over.
And if the Gov is unhappy, they can always use Boeing! 🤣
Dumbest idea ever.
@@nickedgar6706the only reason spacex exists is the us government. It’s that simple. The brilliant visionary would be sitting at home thinking about rockets right now if they weren’t funded for years by the government. You cannot deny this at all
We are entering a new age of space flight yet old regulations are still being pushed. The FAA should improve to suit those ahead in the market, not the other way around.
It's not just bureaucracy, it's politics too.
Elon cooperates with the rules set by the FAA and all is well, until he backs DJT and suddenly, this pops up?
Predictably political, IMO.
I wonder it the delay isn't political?? It could be because of Elon's support of a cert candidate. Late November?
There needs to be federal legislation to establish a prioritized air traffic agency for orbital and suborbital flights.
An agency responsible for vast monitoring of civilian aviation and space flight is impractical for a busy space flight industry.
Very suspicious with the Appearance of impropriety by the Agency on behalf of political actors.
Perhaps a National Aeronautical and Space Administration?
Really dunno why the FAA is involved here.
I was with you till the third line. I think there should be a separate agency for regulating and licensing commercial space launches, and it should be paid for by the launch providers (just as the parts of the FAA that regulate commercial air travel are paid for by taxes on plane tickets). But I don't think this is political. The FAA may be struggling with the whole business of how to grant launch licenses, but they are professionals.
Then again, is the FAA really "struggling" with the business of granting licenses? How many times have Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy flown so far this year, close to a hundred by now? And almost 100 last year. Every one of these flights required a license, which means the FAA was granting them every three or four days. Not bad for a "stifling bureaucracy."
The only rocket that seems to be having trouble getting a launch license is Starship. Is this because it's so massively different from every other rocket to apply for a launch license that it breaks the process, or is it because Falcon 9/Heavy is launched from existing USAF/NASA sites where all that stuff about frogs and neighbors and noise and runoff were figured out decades ago? Maybe building Starbase in Texas (supposedly to avoid regulation) wasn't such a great idea after all.

It's about mindset. Without freedom of speech, human will be very careful on saying any opinions. Especially unpopular. This influences not only speech, but also way of thinking. "Nail thats stand out ask for hammer".
And that is what directly influence innovation. Engineers have tendency to think about consequences. Including consequences not related to engineering, but also real life. Same with investors, governmental and private. They will NOT invest on unknown. If someone else will show something that works, they will be more than happy to throw money at that, but committing at anything that's is brand new? No way.
So yes. Freedom of speech, and slightly libertarian worldview is important for future of humanity.
why not do a flight 5 with the same mission profile as flight 4 while they wait for permission to catch? there's still lots to be learned about the heatshield

Good luck, then he needs to reinvent everything since taking even the slightly information with him would violate a lot of laws and make him a fugitive. (And SpaceX technology is built on a lot of knowledge from NASA)

A regulation is "supposed" to protect from harm. The reality is bureaucrats often create regulations to create work and sustain their own existence. My feeling is at least 1/2 of all regulatory requirements are superfluous and exist just as make work.
It's because Elon back Trump
The bureaucracy must expand to fulfill the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.
Can you be specific. That's a bold claim you have made.
@@ciaranryan5265 No, of course he can't be specific. It's a vague, intuitive claim. But that doesn't mean the general idea is incorrect. People got along just fine before agencies like the FDA, FAA, BLM, etc. existed. Problems existed, yes, but problems will always exist. If regulations do no good they should be eliminated, not doubled down on.
edit: I just now ready your name, Cody. Excellent name.
Most bureaucracies are born out of tragedy. Except in China where they don't mind dropping rockets on villages.
07:00 Development and technological progress is always slowed down by bureaucracy
It's pretty silly that SpaceX has to ask permission from people who couldn't get a job there.
Elon comes out in support of Trump and then shtf sounds like politically motivated retribution.
As with most things technical, if you think something is simple or obvious, it generally means you don’t fully understand the problem.
BINGO
I always open UA-cam when WAI drops, and idk why
The FAA should be restructured or replaced by an Agency that deals exclusively with Spaceflight...
It is time that SpaceX search for alternative countries to build and launch Starships.
Wait,wait,wait.there was a mistake on 1:04 . The video shows that the newly created tower B is Tower A and the older version is Tower B.but why?
If Elon were donating to the Dems this wouldn't be an issue. This is an obvious strategy to give Bezos and others preferential treatment. Musk has done so much to promote the advance of physics and science in general. He has employed thousands in this effort.
The FAA is actually comprised of a lot of former or even active Boeing personel because Boeing has historically dominated the aerospace industry. In the past, a lot of Boeing projects have been approved by the FAA containing mostly Boeing engineers. With their failure on the ISS causing NASA to opt for SpaceX instead, this might simply be a roundabout way to be childish towards SpaceX like Blue Origin when they didn't get the lunar contract. I see a lot of people complaining that the government constrains and controlls economy and industry too much, but if you follow the people, where they worked, and where the money goes, you will begin to see that it is the other way around.
It's obviously politically motivated.
You need to simply ask parties involved for truth of what chemicals are being quoted as pollution

So every time a company uses sprinklers on the grass it it releasing pollutants? I mean if they put fertilizers and weed chemicals on the grass too, I argue that this 'water' is probably worse than what SPACEX is doing with the Deluge.
Not on the lawn, but (at least where I live in Oregon) running tap water into a storm drain is technically a violation of no-dumping laws.
@@michaelmicek Oh no, we most block rivers, so that fresh water, don’t end up in the sea.
No Launch, Politics, democrat politics.
Spacex should go ahead with fight 5, but using their old launch license, which is still valid and just test out the new heat shield and maybe ignite a raptor in space and check out the new payload bay door and do other things that they could still get a lot of data for. Then, use ship thirty-one on flight 6 for the catch attempt later. This is just my suggestion, but I think it's a good one.
Elon should start a conversation with Mexico just 2 miles away across the border. Let the FAA suck it!
yay SpaceXico!
Elon just needs to buy an island that’s not under the jurisdiction of any nation and build his launch site there!
name that island.
@@duhaneyparkclassics7484Agreed! But there are plenty of small countries with lots of suitable islands that could use the money and the huge boost to their almost non-existent economies this would bring. Belize springs to mind. No grand volcanic cones to install retractable doors in, but they have islands, and they aren’t far away. English is the national language, and Elon probably has more money personally than their GDP. ( note: I didn’t bother to look it up… just sayin. )
@@evanmorris1178 Belize tends to have quite destructive hurricanes though. I can image that could become an obstacle
I'm much impressed with your comment☘ and profile.❤🌸 I also admire your good sense of humor here.🌷☘🌻 I don't normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment, how long have you been a fan of mine??💕
SpaceX should invest in up and coming politicians who have the same goals. Wheels sometimes need grease.
Maybe Spacex should build a barrier around the launch site to catch the water from the deluge system after launch, i don't know if that's possible but maybe a catch system might reduce all this delays regarding the alleged water contermination.
Had Elon not backed Trump Space X would be flying.
Seems like there is someone who do not like the idea of escaping people to Mars in the future.
I'm the first in the queue to leave this corrupted planet and even if this means I'll die before I reach 100 years I'll go for it.
Elon ... I want to be your "guinea pig" for the first Mars flight.
Please do go.
How long do you think it's gonna be before Mars becomes just as corrupted as this place? Not very long, IMO
Why are SpaceX not doing more work at the Cape? Haven't heard or seen any progress on that launch tower or site!
The FAA should be shaking in their boots! When Trump gets elected in Nov the swamp will start draining and they will start with the bureaucratic laden FAA! Pack your bags boy and update those resumes now! Can’t wait to listen to the whining and crying. 😊
Our own federal government is leading to the demise of our own country. FAA, FBI, DOJ, etc. It's sad.
Having recently retired from 35 years working in and for the US govt, I can confirm there are agenda-driven bureaucrats infesting all levels of these agencies who get a power trip by exploiting the nation's labyrinthine laws and regulations to slow or stop disfavored activities or organizations. Until we get more info on who's ordering whom, it's unclear whether that's the case here, but it is a distinct possibility.
One should recall that it's a common boast by police officers that they can follow any driver on the road, no matter how careful, and find a legal justification for detaining them. Same kind of power trip - the more complex the rules, the easier they can be used as a weapon by those given power. The bureaucracy of today would never have permitted the U.S. to reach the moon in the '60s. Those days are over.
Space X should sue the FAA.
Yes 💪 😁
The regulatory agencies seem to be focused on two words in their processes when looking at the Elon companies. Those two words are the determinate factors in slowing down progress. Those two words are “may and could”. Something “may” have a negative impact or something “could” have a negative impact; therefore, we must look into this further.
Totally political this started after Elon endorsed the opposition
The one thing I'm most curious about is the work on the landing legs, have they kept working on the old landing legs design and making improvements to it. Seeing how they are changing the size of star ship, or have they come up with a new concept like the moon lander legs.
This planet is more important than a fictional Mars goal. If it takes a while to assess the impact of the most giant rocket ever, what will a few months change?
I think SpaceX is a fantastic space tech company. That said, Starship doesn't get us to Mars.
If it takes 10 refuel launches to get a starship fueled for the trip to Mars, it will also take quite a few refueling trips to get it back (5 to 20). But, those have to leave Earth orbit loaded with fuel, meaning they will need roughly 10x fuel missions EACH before departing. So, ~60-200 refueling missions to get a single starship to Mars, refueled and returned. Of course, if you rely on the transfer window, the return refuel companions must all go soon after. The 5 to 20 Mars-bound refueling ships will be stranded there...
Then, Mars would be much, much harder to survive without constant resupply than the most inhospitable places on Earth, where virtually no life exists (top of Everest).
Maybe, I'm missing something.
They should just build a collection system for the deluge so it doesn't get released, kinda dumb that potable water is being addressed in this way but I understand how important it is to protect out waters
They already built holding pools for the used water as per internal recommendations regarding environmental effects. The TCEQ report that CNBC made a headline out of mentions it.
Wow, the gubmint REALLY doesn't want Elon to make it to Mars.
I think that if the fuel transfer successfully happens in 2025, then an uncrewed test to Mars is likely since the ships really only need to relight their engines to set a trajectory to Mars. A landing attempt probably would look like something like IFT4. I would think that they would send multiple ships to test various designs and have a higher chance of success. However, a crewed flight is unlikely to happen in 2028 even if the test flight is successful because there is no base or any life support on Mars right now. So crewed missions probably will happen in the early 2030s
Starships are going to be the bases for Mars for a long time.
@@admarsandbeyond Assuming they even go; there is no value proposition for Mars, the place is a dump. Nobody smart enough to qualify wants to go. Starship cans might end up good for launching capable Saturn, Jupiter, and asteroid probes from out of their cargo bay, particularly to Titan, Enceladus, Ceres, and Psyche.
Nice shot of New Zealand there 18:30
The FAA had to change its plans when Elon said he wanted to catch the Starship. If they had a dedicated landing site away from Starbase nothing would have changed as far as FAA is concerned. I have never been a fan of catching the starship because of damage to the launch tower and the surrounding area if something goes wrong. So Elon build a landing site somewhere so u can get the FAA off your back.
🤔
@@ingridhohmann3523 something to think about-right? :)
Even at spacex cadence, we are still decades away from mars
Lol decades so a minimum of 20 years. Uhhh no. We'll be on Mars around 2032 I predict.
Why is that? You got more information we don’t know?
@@JohnSmith-bw8dn Things will start happening fast once this skyscraper starts flying to orbit and back. It's capacity is insane. Realize this: A single reusable Starship has the same cargo volume as the entire International Space Station. Soon, maybe in a year, they will have two more launch pads/towers available. Tell me you don't see the insane potential in this.
Living on Mars will degenerate your body pretty fast even with the best equipment. If we go there we will need a reliable way back.
It's called a prediction because no one knows but 20 years is too far away. I predict 2 or 3 Starships en route for Mars in 2027-2028. If landing is successful, I think 2032 will be first humans on Mars.
Bureau- *crazy* instead of bureaucracy haha
2026 for Mars? That's Elon time. SpaceX is not even close to testing orbital refueling, much less launching 10 tankers to fill up a Mars-bound Starship.
you are right, they need to demonstrate they can do that refueling before anything else can be done to get to mars. More like 2030 at best sad to say
True, but they can test, that on the same day, as going to mars, they have 2 years to make that happen, plenty of time, and infrastructure in bocachica is almost complete. They have stack of ready-made ships.
Regulation is perfectly fine. It’s overregulation that kills innovation and progress. Making innovators jump through hoop after hoop only slows down progress.
1) The space suits looked like they were very hard to move in. A better design would be a hard outer shell with joints that allows for natural movement with I did NOT feel was happening for the astronauts with Polaris Dawn. I don't think they will make that big of a radical change though. The first Starships going to Mars won't be taking bags of water, I mean humans, to Mars on the first trip or will they? If yes, then they will need a MUCH better spacesuit in my opinion because astronauts should have spacesuits that they could be comfortable in for hours "just in case" and the current design doesn't seem like a good fit, pun intended.
2) I am VERY excited at the idea of SpaceX launching _multiple_ Starships to Mars, landing them on Mars, and bringing them back. Why NOT include the ability to bring back material from the red planet literally close to 10 years before the mission to do so is currently planned for. Personally I feel this would a HUGE waste if they do not bring back a big load (over 1 ton) of Mars from Mars.
How would you do that?
Well Starship an handle 100 tons of cargo. Why not include a small electric digger? But how would it function? How about having Optimus robots from Tesla "man" the digger. You wouldn't even need to download the programming to the Optimus robots (plural) before launch or just before launch. It could be done at any time up to the point that Starship has landed on Mars. You just need a crane to be able to lower the digger to the surface, an Optimum robot to drive it forward X amount of feet (meters), dig a hole and fill up a bucket which could be separate or part of the digger, the backup to the platform and have the crane lift the platform with the digger and Optimus robot back up and into Starship then secure everything including the large amount of sample.
Before we get too far on this, how is Starship supposed to land and not fall over if it doesn't have legs? Does this mean that any Mars based Starship will have legs? If yes, that will add weight and complexity but would be needed since not tower with chopsticks exists on Mars ... at least not yet. And it can't hover while Optimus robots build a foundation then towner than chopstick arms. So hmmmm, what is Elon planning for these things to land on Mars before taking off again and returning to earth?
3) Polution? How about building a containment wall around the launch site that collects all the water be sprayed out during a lunch and suck it back into tanks. That I think should solve the polution problem if it exists or not. Besides, why not filter that water and reuse it over and over for future launches? You reuse all parts of the launch system so why not reuse the water too? That is my answer and I believe that SpaceX could design AND build this wall and water collection system before November which means that it would be a moot point for any other launches after that.
The hardest part would be filtering the water in my opinion and I don't believe that it would be hard other than the volume of water. Water that is costly to replace and less costly to collect, filter and reuse.
What about pollution from the metal launch mount being blasted and melted? Steel contains chromium etc. However it does not contain mercury.
@@tomblandford all were within acceptable levels to constitute potable drinking water
@@KrimsonStorm are you talking about the delivered water, or the water on the ground after it was discharged?
@@tomblandford post discharge. This whole kerfuffle is because one of the numbers referenced on the chart in the environmental review had the decimal place moved to the right. Everything else in the environmental review were nominal and even the EPA was fine with it until someone decided to take a typo and blow it out of proportion
@@KrimsonStorm Specifically, it's a unit conversion issue, hence being out by three orders of magnitude. From what I've read elsewhere, the error was because the document itself requested different units in different places, and the SpaceX form-filler missed one of the changes.
@@simongeard4824 I can see that. Happened a lot in classes and even the real world. I mean hell one of the shuttle disasters was caused because of unit conversion.
the 2x speed option bacame my best friend for this channel…so much repitition, nonsense and fillers
it seems spaceX is being held back until NASA can catch up (much like last time)
Well, Nasa signed a contract for 1.8 billion to help develop the Starship. It's a whole mess when the democratic party comes in. They cheat continuously. They share propaganda. It's like a dictatorship taking over.
You ROCK SPACEX 😅😅. keep pushing boundaries.
