    On September 10, 2021 Elon Musk said something that was truly outrageous. This video, is the consequence. In this episode we are going to examine why this statement from the past deserves a massive apology.

    Thanks for making these videos, Zack. One thing i know is that Stage Zero is ridiculously complicated but let's remember that Boca is an r&d site. SpaceX is learning a lot and they will use that knowledge to make optimizations and simplify things where possible. As much as we all would love for them to have it all figured out, there are no blueprints on how to make any of that stuff. I'd be curious to see future iterations of the OLM and what is going to change compared to the current design

I think he came to the correct conclusion that the turnbuckles will replace the piston for static fires, but did not adequately describe why two relatively small turnbuckles on each clamp would be sufficient. He should have pointed out that the turnbuckles (or pistons) only have to keep the hold-downs from rotating. They do not need to hold down the rocket.

      @@CSIStarbase Zack, you keep mentioning on the flyover videos that to ensure its supply, SpaceX gets concrete deliveries every day whether they want them or not; and as a result they’re always looking for places to pour it.
      So why not take a Starship aft end ring section, sleeve it over a robustly built common dome (less any holes for the downcomers or other plumbing), flip that sucker over, add another ring section with some chopstick lift points, and start pouring concrete into it?
      When your concrete cures, you roll it out to the launch site, lift it up, drop it on top of Booster 7, and Bob’s your uncle.
      You’ve got all the hold-down mass you need; you don’t need to waste any fuel or oxidizer when concrete will do the job just fine; no need to spend all that time and money tanking and de-tanking and venting untold truck loads of consumables into the air.
      And you can continue to use the same one with every new booster needing to be static fired and it won’t cost you an extra dime.
      And in case the vehicle RUDs? You’ve got less consumables to go boom and haven’t destroyed a Starship.
      I suppose it’s worth noting that a huge mass of concrete, though inert and non-‘splody, should a booster go pop below it … well, that might take a significant chunk out of the OLM platform on it’s way down - which wouldn’t be ideal. So maybe you add a few more ring sections and fill the thing with water instead? Water probably wouldn’t be so bad a thing to have fall into and exploding booster.
      Thoughts?

      Guess it depends what human you are comparing it to.

      It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. If, as a technical innovator, you tell your potential customers that their magic beans will be ready in 5 years they will lose interest and you will lose funding. Insinuate that it could be ready any day now and the excitement remains.

      "looks on track" can still be true even if it doesn't happen though...

    Perry Mason of rocketry is needed, maybe Elong has him on loan at his Twttr legal team? What I would say is that it is no surprise Booster + Starship have not launched. Stage Zip is a revolution all in itself, relocating stuff off the booster to it, the idea of auto loading the booster to it from an orbit, it is all crazy neurons firing. Keeps us all excited, on the edge of our seats. But, Elong is guilty!

    I hope the COO is not performing a charade. I think the Starship will reach orbit in October.
