It's crazy. Get the government OUT of areas where private enterprise does a clearly better job. Government excels at WASTING tax dollars in whatever it touches. NASA and the FAA needs to get out of the way. Government involvement never makes anything better, just more wasteful.
What a load of bollocks. Unconstrained capitalism (which is what you are advocating) leads to monopolies, the death of choice and fewer companies, high unemployment and high death rates amongst workers, shoddy and all-too-often deadly products and countless other problems. Of course legislation and regulation is necessary. If you want a counter example for government involvement then look at any country which has introduced a nationwide health service, free at the point of delivery e.g. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, much of the EU and the UK - all have lower cost health services which provide better service than US healthcare. For example the UK is ranked 4th (it was first for a long while) and spends less than half per capita than the USA which is ranked 11th. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that a mixed economy is what works.
Lol spacex is operating at a loss (which the govt also does) with the hope they can monopolize the space travel industry. They are doing the same thing NASA is doing but with a pool of private money. Those who are contributing to the pool are hoping to be the ones to benefit exclusively from it through a return on their investment.
I do think it is important to remember that the Super Heavy alone changes the nature of the launch industry world wide. Even without the upper stage Starship and capability to return to earth, it is more powerful than any other rocket made and could be used to launch other craft as well. That's quite an achievement.
BE-4 costs $14m per pair ($7m each). Raptor costs under $1m each targeting $500k each. So Raptor 3 has more thrust, 10% better fuel economy, much smaller and lighter and cost about 1/7th or less, Tony Bruno was actually shocked.
Most people don’t appreciate how utterly impossible these raptor engines are. The engineering required to do that on Raptor 3, is truly science fiction.
Hmmmmm.... the Raptor 3 engine is a testament to SpaceX’s ambition to push the boundaries of what is technically possible in rocket engineering. The engine is designed to be more powerful and efficient than its predecessors, with improved thrust-to-weight ratios and optimized fuel consumption. This enhancement is crucial for missions that require heavy payloads to be delivered to high orbits or even to the Moon and Mars. By reducing the weight and increasing the efficiency of the engine, SpaceX is addressing one of the biggest challenges in space travel, the cost of launching large payloads 🥇🇮🇩🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘
If you look throughout human history and really break in down almost all great advancements have come from about 5000 out of total historical population of 10 billion. Elon is one of those 5000 probably be in the top 10 greatest people to ever live on earth.
You mean the poor performance of the moon landings, the rovers on mars, the weather satellites and the others studying the earth and other planets, the ISS?
I suspect there will not be much repair involved. When this engine breaks down it will be "down and out". Musk mentioned that there are few access points and the engine has to be cut open to get inside of it.
Your Right! Just 1 thing Musk has done justifies his pay! He works with his people logically to all his people's success! Add all his other accomplishments just adds to that! So many accomplishments so many successes! Great episode! Thanks! Liked, and Subscribed!
With additive manufacturing there exists the capacity to build internal structures that replace much of the tubing wrapped around the exterior. Elon wants to eliminate the "bolted flanges" especially! Employing modular designs would ease maintenance and reliability would be enhanced to whatever degree they can employ 3D printing to replace the tubing
I have not followed additive manufacturing closely, can it replaced the tensile strength and toughness of steel DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) tubing? Can it replace a steel casting, an investment steel casting? Replace a forging? Additive manufacturing comes across as a modified casting process with the material being deposited out of a tip. This can hold up to the extreme pressures, extreme vibrations, violent sound shockwaves and extreme temperatures of a rocket engine application? If the technology has matured and evolved to this point, I would be very surprised….possibly it has. Welding followed by stress relieving provides a good tube or process equipment joint in this application
Well, reportedly, at first SpaceX started out with minimalism as a criteria on Merlin Engines, but by the time they got to Raptor 1 the mission creep had it looking like a Spaghetti Monster, and likely reliability muchly degraded. And The Enginerd Tribe was "Reluctant" to consider correcting the problem. As they were likely invested in all the pipes, hoses, wires, sensors, etc. But luckily Elon got word, probably thru a better mind than the Yammerheads, and his Aspie mind evidently Groked the points, And his Nerds were quickly repurposed, and Raptor two in the works instantly...🤣 And obviously Raptor 2 was enough encouragement on the new path, They all got into it, and Raptor 3 soon developed. Which is the most impressive modern rocket engine in production. I think Raptor 3 will continue being improved, but that over all its a stabile design platform. Single combustion chamber to pump engines will look much like Raptor 3 from now on. I wouldn't worry too much about repair, the internals have been minimized. Its basically a sealed engine like Rolls Royce put into their cars when I was a wee lad. If its a good enough engine, it doesnt need much repair. You could probably judge engines by their repair requirements... (Hopefully more early Chevy in its genetics, than early Ford.. 🤭) And that being said, we have Sawzalls and TIG welders now, to cut them apart and refurbish, and stick them back together. Basically any basic shop will have the tech. Quite possible even that tech onboard the same ships. And the guys with grease under their finger nails, will learn exactly where and how to cut, how to clean and rebuild, and hopefully do good welds putting them back together. I find it extermely heartening that Elon is talking continual improvements from now on... And I think Raptor 3 is so cool, that it makes Starship look a bit primitive as a ship design. That maybe its time to get less entrenched over in hull engineering, and start thinking beyond 1950's era bullet shapes... As performance and efficiency of engines improve, its been a general tendency to upgrade the chassis and sheet metal... Who knows? maybe 50 years from now guys will retro better engines into Starships, building hot rods out of classic antique ship designs? But I think now and Raptor 3 is a good time to start branching out on ship designs and their purposes... Generalization is good, but one size fits all isnt.... Nor is one design, or we'd still be using biplanes... And Starship is kinda like that.... Impressive now, quaint in 20 years... The good news, is fabrication is commonly understood, And we have a crop of way good beginner welders coming hot off of Trade schools now. They'll need and get plenty of practice working for Elon, but they'll want to do more than tube ships, or get bored. And the hull engineers better come up wiith things that entice Elon forward, or become redundant and unemployed... 😢 I would suggest starting to design in longitudinal gores, and in triangle based geometrics like 6 side and 12 sided. Also start working in curves in the hulls via radiused gores. Its pretty simple to understand, after doing a few models with shoe box cardboard, and super glue... And once you get the potential you can just work on paper or computer graphics. What we are gonna need, especially at first is Milspec stuff. Landing on the Moon and Mars will be more like Normandy Beach, than Blue Tree Beach on the French Riviera... Wont be about fancy designer schitt, will be about durability, practicality, and easy repair. Also, the Space Force is likely to get increasing budgets over time. Follow the money... Thats how you keep a job going... Also know those Military guys have created their own culture and style, Military everything has a different look than Civilian stuff even doing the same job. Big difference between a Cruise ship and an LPD... And we do need to transfer our military culture into space intact. Because theres no guarantees about what might come at you, or what you run into in the next Solar System. So I suggest wannabee Ship Designers study milspec styles and why they are, and start using those concepts in ships for the sea of stars...
The engine will eventually be printed, if not already, maintenance will be a flush, and x-Ray, if the engine fails inspection or this task, it will be recycled and a new one installed. When you make an engine a day, and being hardware rich, you dont need maintenance, you just grab a new part
A four-stage rocket might be a thing, a first stage water boiler heated by a second stage rocket of raptor engines, the first stage would be very heavy, preheated and raptor heated utilizing steam pressure for thrust and necessarily hot stage parted from the other stages early into the flight.
My biggest concern for Space X is: What happens if we lose Elon Musk for some reason ? How would Space X survive without his guidance and direction. Are the eggs all in one basket here ?
Space X has a team of people dedicated to make sure he doesn't intervene directly and it's kept far away of anything of substance. He's a plague that needs to be contained unless you want your company to end up like Twitter. So I'm sure they'll be more than fine if they loose him, probably better.
Hopefully, this engine will save Starship. It has yet to demonstrate any payload capability. Starship V1 was supposed to have a payload of 100t to LEO. But flying empty and fully loaded, it is running out of fuel. This means NO payload. A higher thrust, higher ISP and lower weight should result in a higher payload. This engine needs to be the Starship savior
It's a prototype. There's no refinement towards performance, in fact plenty of performance is wasted in order to demonstrate mission objectives with the highest likelihood of success. I think you're correct in your analysis, but I'm fairly confident this gigantic rocket has accessible margins of 150 tons in due time. The propellant to dry mass ratio at lift-off has a huge impact on payload capability at this scale. (BTW, I'm surprised no one asks Musk why the booster exhaust looks so methane rich) The giant hurdle for Starship is super-chilled orbital refueling. IDK if we're 5 yrs or 2 decades from that reliably working
@@gcburns4 The GAO put out im its report that Starship would be short in performance. I dont think its a secret. Also, while its normal to do upgrades and improve performance, it is not clear that there is any payload to V1. No dummy payload whatsoever which you would want to fly to demonstrate flight dynamics. Instead it is an empty can. Then they took off a 10,000 lb skirt why? Performance related? Probably. I expect V2 to deliver a payload. We shall see what the capability will be.. Honestly, 10-20 launches to fuel up for Mars or the Moon is awful
Too early for cargo. The V3 engine and the V3 Starship version (150m) should deliver the 200t cargo. They are currently using V2 engines with (I seem to recall) 330 ISP at 300 bar vs 350ISP at 350 bar... so yes, that saves well over 100 tons of fuel. Keep seeing they have the same ISP in half the docs, highly unlikely with that big a gap in pressure.
@@avgjoe5969 Well, I look forward to see the payload capability. Current vehicle has very little payload. It flies empty and runs almost out of fuel after fully loaded. Translation…. No payload. Lets see what the engine integration and design changes bring. I dislike the multiple launches and refueling required. Ugly design. Also dislike a tall vehicle landing on the lunar soil. High risk…
@@pedrosura The GAO isn't known for its cutting edge rocket scientists. Nor did they evaluate a finisned rocket. V3 rocket with V3 engines Clearly has Much greater throw weight. They never evaluated that. So no, not relevant. If you evaluate an aircraft half way through development, you will always say it can't fly. Also the 10-20 launches estimate was Bezos estimate, then repeated by some schmuck to NASA as if it had any credibility. Spacex estimate was 6-9 and at the rate they will be building rockets, that's not a concern at all. They will have 3 Starship launch pads and many reusable ships built for tanker service. The Starship factory is rated for 100/year but will probably ramp at 1/month next year and maybe 2-3/month some time in 2026... The ships are "$50-100m each" - Musk. So at $100m each, that's 1/15th the cost of SLS... and they're reusable. Given the rate that Starlink will be raking in profit by then... its trivial. You also forget that tankers will not have a separate cargo bay, so the fuel delivered by the tankers may exceed 200t per flight. Nor is it stated anywhere that a ship needs to be topped off to go from LEO to Moon and back to LEO. I would not worry too much about things Jeff Bezos says or calculations based on design that has seen massive improvements within the span of a single year.
Musk made Space X what it is today and guides it so that the team he has can invent and make things like this. Without him and the people he selected, this rocket wouldn't exist and we would not have any of the cool stuff they make. Just look at the competition, that is what we would have.
@@N2Roostno single person invented the raptor engine. That is how you know. He is already ceo of 4 other companies and can’t stop posting blatant lies he retracts later, so don’t give him any credit he doesn’t deserve.

They are currently using V2 engines with (I seem to recall) 330 ISP at 300 bar vs 350ISP at 350 bar... so yes, that saves well over 100 tons of fuel. Keep seeing they have the same ISP in half the docs, highly unlikely with that big a gap in pressure.
@@avgjoe5969 Well, I look forward to see the payload capability.
Current vehicle has very little payload. It flies empty and runs almost out of fuel after fully loaded. Translation…. No payload. Lets see what the engine integration and design changes bring.
I dislike the multiple launches and refueling required. Ugly design.
Also dislike a tall vehicle landing on the lunar soil. High risk…
@@pedrosura The GAO isn't known for its cutting edge rocket scientists.
Nor did they evaluate a finisned rocket. V3 rocket with V3 engines Clearly has Much greater throw weight.
They never evaluated that.
So no, not relevant. If you evaluate an aircraft half way through development, you will always say it can't fly.
Also the 10-20 launches estimate was Bezos estimate, then repeated by some schmuck to NASA as if it had any credibility. Spacex estimate was 6-9 and at the rate they will be building rockets, that's not a concern at all.
They will have 3 Starship launch pads and many reusable ships built for tanker service.
The Starship factory is rated for 100/year but will probably ramp at 1/month next year and maybe 2-3/month some time in 2026... The ships are "$50-100m each" - Musk. So at $100m each, that's 1/15th the cost of SLS... and they're reusable. Given the rate that Starlink will be raking in profit by then... its trivial.
You also forget that tankers will not have a separate cargo bay, so the fuel delivered by the tankers may exceed 200t per flight. Nor is it stated anywhere that a ship needs to be topped off to go from LEO to Moon and back to LEO.
I would not worry too much about things Jeff Bezos says or calculations based on design that has seen massive improvements within the span of a single year.
Its not him, its his employees,
True, but what's the difference between SpaceX employees and Blue Origin's employees that make them so damn awesome at building rocket engines?
He sets the bar for those employees and it's why SpaceX is so successful.
How about just employees and without him!!!!
So by the logic the current Boeing problems are because of employees and not managment.
@@Hotspur37 Exactly! Which does not make sense. I'm sure they have amazing engineers.
Bro why the hate for Tory
Tory tried to keep Spacex out of Tory's sandbox. Spacex was producing products at dramatically lower prices.
@@craighermle7727 what did he do specifically
Could Raptor be used on the Falcon?
never, diifferent fuel, way to big, and waaaaay to much thrust it would never be able to land properly
Could Raptor be used on the Saturn V?
@@gamerbros400 no
@@gamerbros400 youre saying that as if a saturn V exists right now
musk did not invented raptor, he is not able to do it.
he just pay clever people to made it
Musk made Space X what it is today and guides it so that the team he has can invent and make things like this. Without him and the people he selected, this rocket wouldn't exist and we would not have any of the cool stuff they make. Just look at the competition, that is what we would have.
He knows good English.......
How do you know? YOU DON'T!!
@@N2Roostno single person invented the raptor engine. That is how you know. He is already ceo of 4 other companies and can’t stop posting blatant lies he retracts later, so don’t give him any credit he doesn’t deserve.
@@rickmus2 Have you ever seen an in-depth interview of him in his element, his rocket manufacturing facility? I have, hours of them, it's obvious HE creates the oncept, finds the talent and builds the team and produces previously unobtainable results. It's fair to say, ELON 'built' the most advanced rocket engine.. until his next pioneering achievement in propulsion
Newtons thrid law of motion is wrong .. its not equal and not opposite
Explain?
