@@Maxinomics You should maybe read up on your history a little bit. SpaceX is NOT the first ones to use a vertical landing for its rockets. McDonnell Douglas did it years before SpaceX. They abandoned it because they couldn't see the advantage of it. SpaceX are not dominating space. They are a taxi service for the ISS and to launch Starlink satellites. Even when Musk was touting a mission for a rocket to fly around the moon and return with "some influential people" onboard it was reliant on using a Soviet era rocket from Russia. Why couldn't SpaceX rockets do that. Why were they reliant on a rocket from Russia?

this is a brand new channel. i watched their first short and i couldn’t believe how talented this team is i think they’re under morningbrew so the high production value made sense in hindsight. but i love this dude who presents he’s extremely captivating.
One of the best videos I have ever seen in explaining geopolitics, the space race, and emerging technology, and you tied it all into one perfectly. Amazing job.
Thank you! There is a fourth piece which wasn't able to be tied in seamlessly, business. It's hinted at with the falling cost to launch but not specifically talked about, the space economy is starting to boom. There is a ton of capital flowing into that space, specifically because SpaceX unlocked launch costs. I touched on one pure space company that's already quite profitable and just received a contract to build GPS for the moon: ua-cam.com/users/shortsOSnP6X49FaU
Great video, just one point though. SpaceX does not own the only private launch facility. In fact Rocket Lab beat them to it years ago. New Zealand's launch complex 1 was actually the world's first private launch site. SpaceX came second.
If you say that was the first than Omelek island, in the atoll there waa no rocket launch site, SpaceX built it by themselves, so that would be first private launch complex by SpaceX with the Falcon 1 back in 2008.
I don’t understand how these videos don’t have more views. They are some of the most gripping and interesting economic videos I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good stuff!!
This is such a good summary and explanation to help people understand the evolution and strategic importance of space exploration (and Space X’s role in it) etc. Great video, I expect you guys will have much channel growth to come! Found you guys on Nebula btw ⭐️🥳

Thanks for the compliment. Will definitely think about Microstrategy, interesting situation going on over there. A lot of complex financial engineering. Question would be if I can turn it into a good visual video.
Very detailed and very correct video. Every successful and lasting country or entity throughout history has been first place, not second place. The USA must reach the valuable real estate of choice on our Moon before the militarized Chinese space program.
3:00 to say that "the international space station didn't change life on earth", just goes to show that you have no idea what is done on that space station.
@@Maxinomics that’s not really true though. NASA releases a report every year on ISS research I highly recommend reading it. Plenty of it directly or indirectly benefits us
*First time* watching your channel, and it showed up in my UA-cam feed! 🎥 I really *enjoyed* this video! 👍 Sending lots of love and best wishes from *India💕🇮🇳 🎉* Please excuse any grammar mistakes; English isn't my first language!😊 *Jai Hind Jai Bharat🇮🇳💫🙏🕉️*
Your short form content on Instagram is where I discovered you, but long form is where you shine. I enjoy all the deep dives, can’t wait for the next one.
Awesome video by the way. Another thing to consider is that starship in a more finalized version has the capability to transport 100+ metric tons to anywhere on the planet in under an hour. Hence another reason why it could be so powerful to the military. Imagine a war breaks out and you could have a full military allotment within 1 hour. crazy
10:00 correction: starship is not "now coming online " it is still very much a prototype rocket. Those flights are tests, not missions. The starship test program still has 4-5 years left until it can be considered operational
@@ironspider9280 We are well past prototype. Gwynne Shotwell, the president and day-to-day operator of SpaceX has explicitly said 400 missions with Starship is not an unreasonable expectation
The next ship to fly is the operational variant. The next flight will debut the block 2 ship and the flight after (if all goes well) will expand to a return of the ship Starship will and MUST be operational by the end of next year
3:00 to 3:07 is the most simple-minded take i've ever heard. "Bespoke stuff that wasn't changing things on earth" is completely wrong. The ISS has lead to international collaboration and is one of the most advanced and important research stations. It has lead to hundreds of breaktroughs in things like medical science or material science or communication technologies, for example. Many life-saving surgeries wouldn't have been invented without research on the ISS. There is a lot more than that to it though, as there are entire Books that list the benefits of Space Exploration. Most of them directly stem from research done during that "unimportant" time. That phase isn't a phase of stagnation, it is a phase of actually thinking sensibly about space exploration and how it can benefit us.
What we don’t know yet is the cost per kilo to orbit with starship. $130? $13? And it’s also possible that one of the Lagrange points will end up being the high ground of space as technology advances. Watch The Expanse if you want to understand the problems that future generations will face with interplanetary defense.
@@georgewchilds Had considered including the Lagrange points but decided their impact was too far in the future to be confident of what their impact would be. James Webb telescope is in L2.
Come on, you think they're not going to leave LEO? They've at least launched non-SpaceX equipment out of LEO, the Intuitive Machines lunar lander went up on a Falcon 9.
@ they only have experience with systems in LEO , with more NASA money they will most definitely leave LEO and might even get to mars, however I don’t think that this would be more efficient than a purely NASA approach
9:42 the current payload capacity of the V1 starship is probably closer to...zero. The v1 booster has too much shielding and flame suppressing stuff, the hot stage ring, etc.
Probably to granular for this format but there is another entire premise than cost to orbit that Blue Origin and others look to be following and for that the Sun Synchronous orbit is also important, that is a manufacturing base. Just as O2 will be a byproduct of Lunar mining and benification and so dominate the export, the power available in Sun Sync will dominate the manufacturing.
@@ProfCantonius Currently they are used mostly for weather and observation, but indeed the ability to have constant sunlight will eventually have manufacturing satellites there.
9:01 Yes can make LOX on the moon from water, but it is very difficult. There are a lot of very large and processes that are used to in order to extract the oxygen. And then you have to chill it to -300° before it can be even used. That takes a huge amount of energy. I not to mention that you only have half of the equation. What you didn’t mention is that LOX is not a fuel, it’s an oxidizer, not a combuster. You need Liquid Methane (what’s used in starship) Liquid Hydrogen, or Liquid Kerosene. Non of which are present on the moon. Realistically Id guess its going to take some new type of rocket propulsion with a fuel that is either light weight, regenerative, or present on the moon for it to “cost effective” since Starship will likely need to already have around 5 refueling missions before it can even leave the Earths orbit. Anyways this is not me being mad at the video which I really enjoyed. Take care 🤙
Love the reply, and definitely agree on a challenging process either way it happens. I'd add a couple things though: 1. The craters where this water ice is found on the moon are the coldest places in our solar system, permanently shadowed from sunlight--even colder than Pluto. Getting down to -410F. So keeping oxygen liquid is still challenging but you don't have to create the conditions, they exist naturally. For storage at least. 2. You can obtain hydrogen the same way you obtain oxygen, through electrolysis. Run electricity through water/ice and you'll split the hydrogen and oxygen off. Now that is much easier said than done, especially on the surface of the moon. But the materials are there. And it's why the Artemis mission and others, including Intuitive Machines, are laser focused on exploring the South Pole.
@Henry_Faulkner You are right, IIRC in -situ fuel generation is only spoken for Mars and not Moon because we can create methane from Saber's process. Hydrogen is notoriously fickle and very difficult to contain. The Hydrolox engines are likely not going to be a thing on the moon. So no lunar water wont be split to get Hydrogen and oxygen. Also as you mention, cryogenic storage of fuels is a challenging endeavour. Not to mention setting up all that infrastructure isnt feasible either. Plus unlike Mars, the water on moon isnt available on surface, you have to shift through a tonne of regolith to get small amount of water. It is way more feasible to ship in fuel from earth using starships.
The US DoD was the largest customer of semiconductors when they were first being manufactured. This early investment led prepared early manufactures for increased demand from the private sector. I wonder if projects like StarShield will do something similar.
Isn't it slightly a bit inverse on the Starlink side for this one since it was a commercial product first? Technically the DoD/NASA did help get SpaceX rockets off the ground but the Starlink civilian piece came before StarShield, which isn't even fully deployed yet
@@Maxinomicsstarlink is the first low earth orbit communication satellite. Syncom was the first geostationary orbit communication satellite. Launched by NASA and ownership was transferred to the Department of defense. So, the first communication satellite was the military version. But it is also true a commercial product came first before a military version was created in the LEO communication satellite.
@@Maxinomics Yes, but Starlink is also a system developed and funded by it's own launch provider. My initial comment meant to focus more on developing a commercial industry of other companies that can now utilize low-cost launches to provide their own services. Just as early DoD support for semiconductors allowed domestic fabricators to invest in new tech which in turn benefitted everyday consumers, the same can be done for the space-launch industry. Either way, great content! I'm glad I just subscribed.
