      They're restricted to launch in every 2 year time window but they still can send multiple ships as they build more meaning more people will go every couple years. Firstly, they need people with skills to build & setup the base on Mars, so those will be first in line, so if you have the reqd. skills, you're golden, if not, there's still plenty time to acquire them if you're a student.
      Next will probably be millionaires & scientists/government representatives (NASA will probably send people to setup a satellite launch & build station on Mars). I guess commoners could go after 2040 but only those who'll be able to pass the fitness test and with the right acumen will be prioritized according to technical necessity at the time.

  • @dragoonsunite
    @dragoonsunite 7 років тому +74

    People commenting on how nervous he is don't seem to understand the position he is in. With TESLA he is pretty well successful at this point, and all of his speeches are just publicity, with very little hanging on them being convincing or good. With his other companies, they are so relatively small, and marketably uninteresting, that investors don't really care about PR.
    The problem he faces with Space-X is every single time he takes the stage investors watch him like a hawk for any gaffes, or any slips, admissions, or flaws in his company direction or plan. This is hands down his baby, and literally the only thing he is 100% incapable of funding 'fully' independantly. That is to say he has major reliance on investors, PR, long term stragey, and an extremely successful product.
    People are fickle, if he slips up, his dream slips away, and I think it's safe to say this is the company, and the mission, he cares about more than any of his other companies. TESLA is something he cares about a lot, but even though it means a lot to him, that's an effort on a failing front to 'save earth' from itself, getting to Mars is in his eyes the real mission that 'saves humanity'.
    Anyone who listens to his other interviews knows the passion he has, how much he actually cares about space, what astronaughts before him did, how much he cares about humanity and it's livelihood, and also how hurt he often is by being mischaracterized, misjudged, and underestimated. He's a great man under absolutely immense amounts of pressure, and has anxiety to boot, but knows his face brings recognition that helps him, even though these public speeches are probably not his favorite thing in the world to do.
    Would be awesome to meet him in person without all the cameras and pressure.

      Actually there are a great many things that could be done on the moon. Mining is just one of those. Low G manufacturing (large heavy spaceships or whatever else you can imagine), research facilities, astronomical observation, Tourism, and any number of other possibilities. Dangerous projects might be advantageous to have on the moon.
      I could easily imagine the moon becoming heavily industrialized, especially with no atmosphere or ecology to screw up. Also large heavily shielded ships would be easier to manufacture and launch on the moon. So you would need the various supporting industries for that. Metallurgical industries would be needed in conjunction with the mining and ship manufacturing. Not to mention other support services. Soon you'd have a thriving community on the moon.
      By the by, there is a way around the problem of extended microgravity. Think of those gravitating rides at fairs and parks. Combine the low gravity of the moon with centrifugal force, and you have simulated Earth strength gravity. Entire buildings could be shaped like rings or if you want to get ambitious even an entire city could be built on a rotating inclined platform. The same could work on Mars or any other low gravity body.

    • @animistchannel2983
      @animistchannel2983 7 років тому +19

      I heard astronaut Mike Massamino on Startalk Radio saying that they spend about 2 hours per day exercising to prevent micro-grav atrophy. In that case, you'd only have to centrifuge the personal quarters section, and you'd get plenty of workout while sleeping, eating, sitting at your desk, etc automatically. Then the rest of the base/city could be in local low-g to make the workday easier or play low-g games. Seems like an easy fix.

      BFR earth to earth for passengers isn’t happening until 2050 at the Least more likely 2070 honestly because the BFR will need to launch millions of times and prove absolute reliability and low risk to loss of life. One failure in 100,000 is probably a minimum for earth to earth passenger travel and even that is far more dangerous than planes. Why would people choose a much more dangerous form of travel over a proven mode of travel that is doing billions of flights proven it’s upmost reliability.

  • @miketangi

    Wow this is amazing, and truly visionary. I have been following SpaceX since its early beginnings before2003 and I've always admired Elon for dreaming big and ignoring the critics and the naysayers. Space X is the new evolutionary company in the space industry and it didn't come from nowhere, they're building on decades of work by governments around the world. This is not magic, this is problem solving through engineering. It's analogous to internet (gvt developed, and entrepreneurs created the world we know today). With a bit of vision it is clear that this is early development of a whole new industry: rapid transportation of goods and people around the globe, mining space resources (there are asteroids worth trillions because various metal contents etc), servicing space resources (ISS and various satellites etc), removing debris from space, launching satellites of various sizes or multiple at once, providing access to the moon/mars/others, and you could go on and on. This will not happen overnight but it will happen, there will be setbacks and the likes but nothing that truly matters is ever easy. The likes of Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, know whats coming, but like any other corporate behemoths they can only grow by acquisition or slow innovation as we saw recently Orbital ATK being acquired by Northrop. If you haven't noticed yet, Moore's law applies to technological progress as well, so some form of this vision is going to be a reality over the next decades. With every vision Elon inspires others to innovate and engineer his visions to reality and the same applies to Space X.

      @JillesvanGurp 7 років тому +16

      Technology developed for the space program has generated enormous wealth with spin off technology. The lunar program was the single most profitable R&D investment ever made. Elon Musk's one more thing moment at the end beats Steve Job's famous iphone announcement by orders of magnitude (btw. this thing can get you anywhere on earth in under an hour; you know just saying). It's ridiculous and a massively appealing concept at the same time. And arguably the iphone is what boosted Apple's value into the 1 trillion range. That thing started out with Jobs going like "why the hell not; we basically have everything we need to do it".
      Seriously, there's so many ways to monetize this stuff that it's frankly mind boggling nobody else is doing this. Reusable rockets change the game completely. This would be stupid if the only goal was to go to Mars. But it isn't. It's that and everything else this thing can do.
      Building a Lunar or Mars base just because we can and because the technology needed to build that is going to be insanely valuable is a no brainer for somebody like Elon Musk. Yes it's risky from a financial point of view but if you can pull it off it's also highly rewarding. IMHO it might actually be a lot less risky than a lot of relatively small investments in bullshit startups that collectively will cost a lot more and earn far less. There are only so many Apples, Facebooks and Googles people are going to be able to build with investment money; which is a tiny fraction of overall investments.
      And Musk is basically announcing that he's doing this with SpaceX revenue. I imagine he might convince a few investors to bank in but basically he's covered the cost already (assuming his calculations are ballpark accurate). This stuff is happening.
      Worst case SpaceX fails and goes bankrupt and somebody else does something with the technology it produced. So the absolute worst case is that we end up with an enormous amount of extremely valuable technology, experience, and knowledge without getting to Mars in the next decade. The best case is that this thing works as advertised somewhere in the next decade. Anywhere in between would be enormous progress regardless.

      We may never solve the speed issue, but there are other ways around it. For instance, if we really have a presence in our solar system, we can mine the asteroid belt and build megastructures, such as a self-sustained multi generation arch. Such a vessel could spend many generations traveling to other stars. Furthermore, we may well be close to solving the mortality issue. If you don't have a natural limit to your lifespan, it's feasible to spend a couple thousand years traveling to say Proxima Centauri, with enough conviction and resources.

    2. The BFR will be same-day reusable and cheaper to fly than any orbital rocket to date.
    3. We'll be able to launch bigger payloads than the space shuttle could, and heavier than the Saturn V could.
    4. We're aiming for a one-way autonomous Mars mission in 2022.
    5. The heatshield does not ablate (wear) significantly for Earth re-entry.

      Super optimistic timelines motivate smart people who want to see this happen soon to work as hard as possible to make it real. They may not actually meet these deadlines, but I have a lot of faith that they will achieve the goals, even if it takes a few more years.

    26:40 The brilliant quote "and often I'll be told 'but you could get more payload if you made it expendable'. I said 'yes, but you could also get more payload from an aircraft if you got rid of the landing gear and the flaps... and just parachuted out when you got to your destination."
    The second amazing bit is 25:30 when he compares *buying* a single engine turboprop plane (which is like current single-use rockets) to *chartering* a 747 plane (which is like having a fully reusable BFR). It's just a brilliant demonstration of the massive cost difference between single-use and reusable.

      IMHO he's constantly trying to convey all this ideas and plans in the highest level of detail possible. The level he works at on a daily basis. He's however smart enough to be aware that he has to translate/reduce all the technical details for the greater public.
      The stuttering is his brain trying to do this translation in real-time so to speak. :-)
      Put differently: his internal data stream is too large to convey with words in a summarized manner :P

    This is IT. This is such a smart move on so many levels.
    Only sonic booms at take-off and landing, significant advantage over traditional supersonic flight. And look at the competition. Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin take you to space and back after minutes of floating around. So instead of A to B, from A halfway to B and back. Pointless endeavour. This removes their initial business model. It also eats away at Boeing and the Airbus group like crazy of course. Arianne Space is not even looking at reusability so they will be gone in 5-10 years. Multi-mission capable, even cleaning up space debris. SpaceX just handed itself a monopoly with 1 vehicle, giving it enormous economies of scale and by extention, an extremely bright future, including Mars missions. The economics of this are really sound, which was not the case with first design of Interplanetary Transport System. Go SpaceX and go Elon!

      My thoughts exactly. Of course, it would be cool to travel those huge distances in such a short amount of time but the environmental impact will be drastic compared to our current technology (airplanes like the A380). I'm certain Elon Musk is aware of that but this could be some additional business to finance the Mars (and Moon) ambitions SpaceX has. But I might be wrong, let's see what SpaceX will publish regarding this issue in the future.

    Maybe, they will figure out a rocket OR space ship, that can land and balance much better than a long cylinder.

      I can't speak for Ae Norist, but I can tell you what i disagree with.
      First of all, there is no point in this rocket. It's too big for cargo, there is no future in crewed space exploration (on chemical engines) and there is a reason concord didn't take off.
      And second - I disagree with the concept of Tesla - Li-Ion battery is a dead end of the energy storage technologies, it's too heavy for the stored energy, too dangerous, requires rare elements and harmful to the environment even at it's theoretical limit. Those batteries will never compare to the liquid fuel we'll be successfully using for centuries now, and if the only downside is carbon emissions, then why don't we just recycle CO2 into the liquid fuel, effectively storing the green energy?
      Such a "battery" is highly stable and effective because you only need half of the chemicals onboard and discard the used up material as you go. Nothing will need to be thrown away, infrastructure is already set up, and even airplanes will be green. And you can still have electric cars with fuel cells.
      You can give me more projects of his, so far I disagree with all I know.

  • @awuma
    @awuma 7 років тому +10

    "Chief Designer" is Elon's best and most accurate title.
    This is a breathtaking and convincing roadmap. However, some of the final bits must be considered as a demonstration of what is possible, what horizons open up, rather than what will, or should, happen. In particular, there is no need to travel half way around the world in half an hour, when it can already be done in a day. The BFR is the 747 of space, not the SST/Concorde/Tu-144 of the 21st century. Furthermore, sheer environmental disturbance (e.g. engine noise, sonic booms, exhaust plumes, blowback and danger of explosion) would place launch/landing pads far away from any habitation, not just on Earth but on the Moon and Mars, too. The pads would need to be shielded and paved on the Moon and Mars to avoid exhaust-driven material from hitting installations on the ground as ships land and take off. (PS: BFR will generate the mother-of-all-sonic booms on return to the pad on Earth. The idea of returning to the launch pad itself makes perfect sense, and already Falcon 9 is hitting its target within a metre or two, even on moving, heaving barges. By the time of BFR, that accuracy could be a few centimetres, and on the launch pad the blowback will be directed away nicely from the delicate engine section.)

      I don't know, rapid planetary transit could be incredible useful for cargo and military purposes.
      You can probably fit around 500 people in each flight(strip out all the cabins and replace them with rows and rows of seats), in theory if they can fill every seat a ticket would be about the same as standard international flight.
      It would essentially be cheap space tourism with the bonus of getting to where ever you wanna go in 2-3 hours (that's including all the set up time to get to the rocket's launch pad in the middle of the ocean).

      tseawell90,
      True. Money is nothing but transcended value. Either way, the values are not ambitious enough to push mankind to the next level.

      If you think Elon is not motivated by money.
      Looks like you are idealising him and it's silly because pretty much everyone is flawed.
      If you knew how Elon took over Tesla for instance, you would have a more realistic vision of him.
      Don't get me wrong he is accomplishing great and good things ... But he is just an homo sapiens, an animal like you and I.

      PsychoticusRex he's always been human. The way he talks, he's very focused on accomplishing his dream and getting the point across. No bullshit.

    There's never a dull moment with Elon Musk, even though he makes it sound really dull.
