[SCRUBBED] Watch SpaceX Static Fire Starship SN9!

hello everybody hi it's me tim dodd the everyday astronaut and guess what it is hopefully time we're gonna see uh some static fire from uh from sn9 this is this is the last hopefully the last test here before uh we get ready for flight so fingers crossed we we're all set up kind of ready to go um i hope you guys can hear me okay people are saying we have a problem but hopefully not no i think you guys are crazy um yeah hi guys i hope everyone's doing well um we have been setting up and getting kind of ready this is a bit of a dress rehearsal for us uh we've got quite a few more things that we're still working on so in our world it's kind of an okay thing that uh that sn9 has scrubbed a little bit because we're still just in scramble mode i don't know what it is um so yeah so uh just in case you guys don't know what's going to be happening here this is going to be a three engine static fire of course three raptor engines uh on serial number nine we uh seal number nine is of course a spacex starship prototype this thing is huge nine meters wide so 30 feet wide uh 50 meters tall so about 165 feet tall this thing is massive made out of stainless steel runs on liquid methane liquid oxygen um and it has three of the world's most advanced rocket engines piped up underneath there those are called the raptor engines they're full flow stage combustion cycle these are all the fun things that we get to talk about on launch day and i am really excited because hopefully this will be the final milestone before it flies and of course if you guys want to know you know when seal number nine gonna fly we actually do have a website dedicated just to that uh or a page that will give you the most up-to-date information that we can we just aggregate all the information for you um you can go go to everydayastronaut.com um on the home page you'll be able to find a little link to when will sn9 launch live updates and we will give you our very best estimate of when this thing is going to launch so everydayastronaut.com will give you all the updates that we have so you guys can stay right up to date along with us all right back to the rocket so uh yeah so we're waiting to see some of the rocket actually venting um andrew let's go ahead and switch to our other shot for a second um we are working through a couple kinks on our end but we should have two different shots for you guys and um we might be able to see a little bit different views for both of these so yeah um yeah we're working on some big things for you guys and i think you're really going to like the end product here um for sure by sn10 95 sure we should have a really really good solution for you so yeah um let's get through some of your guys's comments right away because uh i tend to fall behind on these things so razzlebot gives us a rainbow thank you very much um this is a question from musical wolves says how full do they fill the tanks when doing a static fire very little just about the very bare minimum in order to be able to light the raptor engines like down to um likely probably not even beyond the bulkhead so don't forget you know a rocket engine's fuel tank is basically um think of like a a cylinder with kind of bulbous ends on the end of it right and kind of like a cup and they don't even fill for static fire they don't even fill the liquid fuel up to the top of that cup at the bottom of the bulkheads that the actual bottom portion of the liquid methane liquid oxygen tanks most likely it's a very small amount of fuel because they don't always actually are they're not always able to retrieve all of their uh i'll get all the fuel back so um there is some waste in in recycling it's it's it does get pumped back in and but has to be re-chilled and recondensed um but it's not a perfect one to one so yeah all right so um this is from um from al uh alheim nj thank you very much for your tip i appreciate it uh razzinbot wait for it thank you very much we we we've been doing a lot of waiting on sn9 and hopefully this is one of the last times we have to stream uh a static fire on this vehicle or try to stream a static fire for the vehicle because yeah uh i think we all are just ready to see this baby fly i don't know about you guys so um yeah from wow from chris stone who has credit over all these uh ridiculous comments good lord well thank you very much uh chris yeah i mean you know i'm i'm really really really glad that there's so many people viewing a simple test fire of some raptor engines i know this is not exactly this is a bit like watching rocket paint dry in a sense it's not the most exciting thing in the world but it's just really cool to me to know there's there's 9 000 people around the world right now watching um a simple static fire for uh for sn9 and i'm looking at the vehicle from the pad it's a little bit dark but um i ca i can barely see it here out the window but we will see um let's see so from uh joe rossiter what happened to sn13 and 14 well um as a matter of fact i think it's even sn12 is actually on the the chopping block now um so they are just it's basically like why would they fly and test old hardware right now their limitation is launching they're limited by how much they're able to actually launch this vehicle even though they have two pads it just seems like you know by the time you have pad operations and all the other things the limitation does seem to be stuck on launch and so why at this point if they have seal number 15 which is more advanced has some some new techniques some new likely new materials some better welds uh different things that they're making large advancements on why would they even bother with old hardware it's it's yes it you know had a lot of labor costs but it's still always a learning experience on how we can you know mass produce these these vehicles and get them out in a you know in a quickly fashion but as far as um it's you know sunk cost fallacy a little bit like what's what's better in the long run to just keep flying the same thing over and over if you already know say for instance right now you know we know for a fact sn8 had a problem with the header tank now we know for a fact sn9 likely had that exact same design in the header tank so you know what's what's the you know what's the point of flying four more of those versions that all have that same problem the condition that they fixed for now is they switched to be able to backfill the header tank um with with helium instead of using autogenous pressurization it looks like i'm not doing my job very well here because i forgot to mention that we do have indeed video confirmation at the pointy end is up the flamey end is down thank you andrew uh we also have the personnel they are clear of the pad the p the pad is obviously clear they're getting ready to test the vehicle at that point even as soon as the vehicle uh begins any fuel up and any pressure uh in any pressurization they will actually go ahead and clear the pad because at that point you know pressure just simply pressurizing a vehicle at say double the atmospheric pressure two bars three bars four bars that's a lot of pressure on that skin and if it even ruptures just just from you know say it was nitrogen or something inert not even something explosive it could do a lot of damage um you know we've seen that happen in their cryo tests where some it just goes you know in a pretty massive and pretty energetic uh explosion so not explosion pretty massive and energetic failure there there we go that's the word i'll use so um yeah we uh this they clear the pad right away there are also some ground tanks forming but not quite as big of ground tanks as we are used to seeing we do have a rus rough estimate of a t0 of around 715 local just kind of guessing um justin justin joe killer bringed him to bring mars to tim fund now i do like that one we we can bring me let's bring me some mars regolith from you know maybe from perseverance or something i would accept some of that i think bringing any bit of mars back here to earth would be a huge huge win a hundred percent also i should mention for all of you that always are um are saying that you know the let's take tim to mars fund i think we have a plan for that patrons i'll definitely tell you all about it but let's just say let's just say instead of a mars fund what if we called it a a texas studio fund maybe i don't know maybe so maybe next time we're doing you know a super chat or something trying to send me off to mars there might be some uh there might be some more fun things so um which might be better use of of all of the all of the funding so uh from william tales says uh will starship need to be painted white eventually to help with boil off or will there be some sort of insulation great question william um they uh they actually do they will be painting the lunar lander version white probably likely for thermal considerations there's i don't actually know why white versus versus reflective stainless steel um white is probably going to be better they they shouldn't need any additional insulation they don't have hydrogen so there are um so there are options there there's considerations there because hydrogen wants to boil off if you look at it basically if you if you have liquid hydrogen just sitting out it will be evaporated instantly just instantly boils off and it's gone it's really hard to maintain but liquid methane and liquid oxygen luckily are substantially less prone to boil off because they're they're quite a bit warmer their boiling point is quite a bit warmer so um the i actually don't know as far as thermal considerations a reflective you know think about all the captain foil and stuff like that reflectivity can be a good way to um to keep heat from entering the vehicle but the cool thing is on long coast phases and interplanetary missions those header tanks also prevent boil off because they're basically going to be inside of a vacuum and i don't know long term if the if the liquid oxygen header tank at the nose of the vehicle will always be in the nose or if once they get more equipment and stuff up there and payloads and all that stuff if they don't need it up in the nose but at some point um you know right now the methane tank when the main tanks are dry it is actually basically in a vacuum it is there is no thermal conductivity uh you know through any other medium it can be sitting there basically in a vacuum chamber which is um it can be although it isn't because they do have to have it pressurized and backfilled with currently with helium but also later with gaseous oxygen gas gaseous methane oh actually currently the main tanks are backfilled with gaseous oxygen and gaseous methane but the heater tank anyway point is there's ways to mitigate boil off and spacex is working on some creative solutions for that i had to close this window because believe it or not even though it's texas it is really cold um all right matthew says hey tim uh did we find out why the last static fire was so short uh by the way uh you love your full flow t-shirt well thank you so much and thank you for the support um we don't know for sure but there's been a lot of speculation that that uh it may have been a two-engine static fire when it's supposed to be a three-engine static fire and if that's the case it definitely would need to be uh redone for sure so um yeah that's that's what we're kind of hearing we don't have any official word on that though um but it does kind of seem like it was only a two engine static fire versus a three which was not the intended plan so that's why they're having to redo it um we don't know exactly what other ups are but we're hoping to see this thing just have a nice clean full duration of about three seconds static fire tonight so if you are watching this and you're expecting anything more than a bright orange will end up looking like a bright orange cloud of smoke for three seconds i'm sorry you're going to be very disappointed because that's about all we're going to be looking at here today so um yeah i like this jody says funding for a studio there call it of course i'm filming of course it should be of course i'm still filming that's awesome all right uh from rohan says uh will recharging super uh starships last super heavy be an issue for rapid reuse the actual recharging the batteries now that's something i have not thought about it shouldn't be too big of a deal those tesla batteries um you know you can go from basically depleted to basically full in about an hour and the booster will will be looking for about a 90-minute turnaround time there could actually be some things that they could be doing to mitigate that like actually um having smaller and more connections and and a lot of voltage though running through the vehicle in order to charge it that quickly but you know if anyone can do it it's spacex and tesla because tesla obviously has a lot of experience with high voltage but yeah um yeah um no the uh yeah we'll keep the the timer up for now uh musical wolves thoughts on sending a submersible to europa to bring water samples back to uh to curiosity to analyze and also check for fossils of oceanic life using uh stainless or using starship so um as far as having curiosity or perseverance or something look at something um it'd be much better if you're if you're sending something to europa you might as well just bring it back to earth the delta v difference to get from from europa back to mars and earth is actually quite similar because you're at such a high apogee you wouldn't have to do that much bigger of a burn and it'd be much easier to recover a capsule on earth because of obviously our denser atmosphere but also just humans going and swooping something up and then recovering and looking at the samples as opposed to trying to rely on landing close enough and accurately enough to be able to actually grab a sample with a robot just and analyze and all that stuff just adds a lot of comp uh a lot of complexity so um yeah so um as far as um check for fossils of using a starship i mean i don't know if starship starship doesn't really make sense outside of the inner solar system as it is without with its large flaps and stuff because you're lugging those flaps all the way out you know there's been talks of course about a more expendable version of starship um or an interplanetary like basically just a boost stage upper stage that would not have any flaps or any recovery hardware lighten it up you know you could probably lighten it up several several dozens of tons you know maybe 20 30 tons you could remove in the weight of the vehicle if you're not trying to recover it you know no heat shield no flaps no landing legs um if you're not trying to recover you might even just be able to get away you could probably get away with just a bunch of vacuum raptors like four vacuums you know one in the middle and and three more on the outside and and just use vacuum optimized raptors only and you could get substantially more payload um sent off for interplanetary missions so i think we will see variants of starship i don't think starship is just this one vehicle like we see it here today it's this whole wide variety of vehicles essentially from thomas says will starship be able to do earth-to-earth transit without super heavy will this save a lot of money on fuel yes and that's elon's even mentioned that a lot of people gave me pushback on uh the the rocket pollution video uh because i quoted point to point as starship only with no super heavy booster because elon has talked explicitly about how the they'd likely only use starship uh without a booster but it won't be able to go orbital it'd be suburban i think you said the maximum range would be about 10 uh 10 10 000 kilometers so um and that could be about what a third of the way around the world or quarter around the world you can get you can do a transatlantic flights probably with that um but it's not going to be full-blown you know uh new york to sydney or something you know it's not going to be completely opposite side of the world type of stuff there so um they might someday be able to stretch it more make point-to-point options that are that have better glide ratios that have you know like wing strikes and stuff like that things to actually help and you know maybe even more engines or something or who knows um there's things they could do for a specific point-to-point variant but in general again starship currently is just kind of a blank slate starship is currently just basically um oh andrew we lost a feed there thank you um yes you know what went wrong ah i plugged in i plugged in the wrong one did you hear that i did plug it in so you think we're gonna get some audio yes oh baby yeah sorry we've uh we've had to redo about everything lately so um we are in the middle of that um can you switch cameras or you're probably about to get it anyway um all right so all right let's keep going here so yeah like i said it will basically be like a blank slate you know um starship can kind of be anything it wants to be but for now they're just trying to get um the parts figured out you know it's don't solve step three until step one is done you know don't don't solve step 50 until step three is done you know it's like go sequentially start with the bare bones and the bare bones in the starship program was well first the raptor engine that's not bare bones that's extremely difficult but from there on out it's been star hopper it's been you know it's been all these other um test flights that we've been seeing ceo number four and five just very simple just more advanced versions of the manufacturing process closer to flight ready hardware compared to star hopper it's just a continuation of that to that effect so um ww says a user said starship doesn't glide but doesn't it it's fins control horizontal movement during descent if a squirrel glides surely starship does this is this is a bit of a whole thing because technically i mean anything can really provide lift a capsule for instance can provide lift and can change its glide ratio now if we're going to be pedantic here um you know i'd i would probably like to say that anything that really glides need to ha needs to have a positive glide ratio so beyond a one to one so for every meter you fall you're translating a meter forward let's just maybe agree that there probably is an exact definition and i'm sure people uh proper proper people are are going crazy um so let me know guys um but in general though if you think about it the uh the starship of course you know if it's coming in from from orbital reentry speeds it will be elon said about 70 degrees the space shuttle flew at 40 degrees it could go all the way to about 90 degrees because when it was falling from from its sn8 flight it was falling completely perpendicular to the wind stream completely flat on its belly to bleed off as much terminal velocity so that means through entry it can be coming straight on if it needs to be bleeding off as much speed as possible but you can also tilt it and when you tilt it there does end up being some body lift and some lift off of those flaps so it can have lift now as far as gliding goes i would definitely i would definitely say it's not set up to glide because there is not traditional lift in the sense of you know lifting surface like a wing which actually increases the surface area on the top portion of the wing has a lower surf a lower amount of travel for the bottom portion and therefore can actually produce lift in a traditional sense this does not have that at all the flaps and everything is flowing mostly more perpendicular to the windstream than parallel to the windstream so therefore long story short starship can't really glide it can increase its lift it can fall straight out of the sky but it's not going to be ever really gliding at some point so hopefully that answers that question all right this is from um ambient uh ambiente lp cl9 uses uses helium but what is the final solution so they will go back to so it sounds like to me they've only switched to helium in the methane header tank now the header tanks are likely still pressed um so here's the story with any fuel tank any rocket liquid rocket fuel tank like that whenever you're draining a fuel you have to backfill it because if you just took a sealed container and you drained fluid out of it you would crush you know the container would collapse so you have to back fill it so normally you use an inert gas like helium or nitrogen helium is the preferred choice because it's a lot more sparse or undense you can pack a absolute crap ton of it inside of a copv and then it expands and fills volumes with ease because it's so sparse right now if you nitrogen is a little bit less sparse but the problem with helium is it's stupid expensive so you can do what the space shuttle did don't forget the space shuttle's external fuel tank was autogenous pressurization so it actually used um gaseous uh hydrogen in this case and gaseous oxygen tap-offs from the main engines the ssmes the rs25s actually had hot gas coming out of them and backfilling the tanks as the tanks drained the engines actually bled some of those some of that fuel and put it right back into the tank to maintain proper tank pressure and all of that stuff so um it is actually it's not like it's some crazy thing that's impossible or anything this is this has been solved before in space flight and currently they seem to have some teething problems specifically in the header tank don't forget the header tank is a basically a perfect sphere so there could be some slosh issues there could be some some kind of issue with the specificalities of the header tank but the rest of the vehicle as far as we know is still being pressed using ontological pressurization so um yeah i think that it will be the final solution because you can't refill helium on mars you can't refuel you could actually probably refuel refill helium on the moon kind of um but not on mars uh at least not very easily i don't think so it's makes way more sense and way cheaper because believe it or not the tiny little copv bottles that little amount of helium is probably more expensive than all the rest of the propellant on the vehicle so um yeah um nikolai says can't you just open up a valve to open air and let uh and let it fill the tank no because the tanks are at much higher pressure than here at sea level the tanks on on falcon 9 are about three bars so there are three times more atmospheric pressure than here at sea level if you open up the tank it's gonna spew gas everywhere that's what's that's what happens it's going to spill everything the pressure will go outside now here's the thing and and then it gets only worse from there when you go up into space there's even there's literally obviously no ambient air pressure so you know in that case the the uh the if you open up a valve all the fuel would just leak out all the propellant would just leak out immediately so yeah um people are saying move t0 to 5 minutes ish i don't know why we're thinking five minutes this i don't even have any kind of any kind of update yet for that so um we're not seeing much on our end but um yeah temperature five minutes more is what i don't know why why we're thinking that but we probably could this is all a guess this is a guessing game for us here guys um have we even seen the vehicle vent yet all right um all right well according to spreadsheet guy we're looking at uh we're looking at like adding five minutes so hmm but we have not seen any vent yet so we'll keep our eyes open um but let's keep answering guys this question so hey thank you so much for for the pair i really appreciate that uh sore eyes 345. thank you very much that's very generous i i appreciate that we're going to put that straight into the secret mars fund uh what does starship mean to spacex's competitors uh honestly if i was spacex's competitor i would be i'd be very nervous that it's going to be extremely hard to catch up at this point because starship is stupid ambitious if starship succeeds in doing what it is hoping to do it's going to take they're five to ten years ahead of the competition and that's not hyperbole that's just simply people won't be able to compete with starship starship will if starship ends up being fully and rapidly reusable uh which realistically could happen by the end of the 2020s just look at how quickly falcon 9 starts started to actually see cost savings because of the reusability people thought it'd take a decade it took about a year it took maybe two years tops for falcon 9 to be like cheaper because of its reusability um if starship gets to that same point of two three years once it's operational of starting to see that cost benefit yeah it's going to be game changing because not only will have the highest payload capacity but it also could be one of the cheapest rockets to fly period like cheaper to launch an entire starship than even say a small sat launcher and that's kind of insane because now you have say a 5 million price tag for a 100 plus tons of payload capacity and a huge amount of volume so now you're not design constraints you don't have to worry about these packed compact little fragile lightweight satellites you can just you know if you're a satellite provider you go you know what we have this new super heavy class we can design uh to that super heavy class and we can actually make um a heavy big bulky satellite and save a ton of money because now you know when you try to make things lighter just go ahead and look up how much like a carbon fiber tripod is compared to a good old aluminum tripod you'll poop your pants because it's about three times more expensive normally for the exact same thing it's the same exact thing in space flight you know if you can use less exotic materials and just use off-the-shelf stuff um at the at the sacrifice of size and weight you can save a ton of money so this could really change the entire economy of spaceflight from now i hope to see sn fly during my time off doubt it but i hope at least i can see the static fire good good attitude there now thank you for saying hi good to always hear from you um yeah hopefully we do see a static fire tonight we we really haven't heard um anything too much so uh we will see we will see still no rocket venting it's it's definitely likely that it's it's moving back um a decent amount here so um let me make sure i'm checking in here with rachel it's or sorry it's actually gene and ryan out there tonight um let me make sure everything is good um make sure that we're also kind of working on some audio issues but we fixed it we actually have audio going sweet okay it was that okay cool all right uh from jaywood says um hoping for a big long explosion well hopefully not yeah i'd say a long explosion if it's less than three seconds and it's really big then we're in trouble but this is hopefully going to be a very controlled explosion uh perfectly out of the nozzles of the raptor engines that's what that's if this thing were to go boom before we even see its flight i will cry at this point because i need i need to see this thing fly and we've already spent um a week and a half down here and it's not cheap it is not cheap to to stay um which is exactly why we're working on a secret project uh x team official thank you so much i really appreciate you um nicholas whoa nicholas uh thanks tim and the crew for me see you guys soon well thank you so much uh nicholas that is really really really generous i i really appreciate that holy cow same with another one from chris stone says can't match what the superman who did uh who studied under bon braun did but love watching mr darwin thank you nicholas and chris stone you guys that is so amazing thank you so much for your generous tips i really really really really appreciate that that that goes straight back into everything we do and i i promise that by the end of the year we're going to have the best solution that we can possibly have for you guys to be able to provide the best coverage we can that's that's all that matters to me is increasing quality increasing everything on our end we spent every dime and then some from what came in last time to upgrade equipment and gear uh we're having a little bit of teething problems with some of it but it's all learning experience and we're just gonna keep upgrading until we can provide the best coverage that we can for you guys because um this is history this is history in the making we are literally watching the evolution of space flight we are watching uh you know rockets evolve in front of our eyes and usher in a new era of space flight and you know we look back you know i get so fond when i look back at images of the apollo era you know when you see the saturn v being built or rolled out um all these things you know i i get a little tear in my eye and i get so proud knowing that we did such a good job of documenting that there's amazing you know people that that documented nasa did a phenomenal job filming there's just incredible uh footage you know especially watch the apollo 11 documentary that um that i think cnn put together uh and remastered and everything and that is was it cnn that matt that redid the yeah um that was just incredible there was footage there that that will just do jaw-dropping and we're at the beginning we are seeing that now this is that now you know so i i think we really really really um yeah we need to push the clock let's give it at least 10 minutes yeah um people say they're hearing slot water sloshing sounds coming from my is not my mic that's the water sloshing sounds is from the water the water sloshing yeah the the camera down there the camera you're seeing is next to water uh at the edge of the exclusion zone for you guys so we have it as close as we can safely get so um we yeah uh yeah water is cam so again yeah nicholas and chris thank you for helping to allow us to capture history and and preserve it um yeah um i don't know why everyone wants us to move the clock yet but i guess we probably we probably could put it on a big old fat question mark or something because we're definitely not it 10 minutes here for this but we are seeing some more venting from the ground by the rocket um that could just still be from the tank farm i wish i could fix the white balance on that camera too bad we didn't plug in the network adapter we could have just remote it into that one yeah i mean you could always just go walk out there it's really cold they were saying that and poor gene and ryan are like yeah uh okay so uh aaron says uh never seen a falcon 9 land but i don't want to drive to see it land and it lands on the drone ship how do we know uh where the first stage will land aaron that's a great question that's we have those we make those pre-launch previews for you um so everydayastronaut.com click on upcoming launches and you can read our pre-launch previews those will tell you uh if it's going to land and where now we don't give you a ton of leeway time uh the next best way to probably know would be i don't actually know crs missions are likely not going to be landing on land anymore either yeah we're kind of moving away from that unfortunately so um yeah uh our pre-launch previews can give you a decent estimate but not always immediately you know um it might or not too far ahead it will we normally try to get them out about a week or two ahead of time so that might not be enough time for planning sometimes you just kind of gotta wing it so yeah um alec says send him to texas on mars or remember someone did say there's a mars texas and i will go ahead and spoiler alert i'm not going to build a studio in mars texas that would be a very silly endeavor um yeah that's not what that's absolutely not what i would do but uh um yeah um man yeah we haven't seen any we've not seen any rocket venting yeah let's just change it to unknown there we go i wish we could just put this up do you have the let's do that yeah so it looks good do it right um uh creeford has a question in our discord channel do we know if the starship lower stage the the super heavy booster is going to land on land or on a drone ship it will never likely land where from a different place than it takes off from that's that's a big part of its rapid reusability is being able to literally land it back at the launch site you know uh someday maybe landing inside of a cradle and being literally dropped back onto the launch mounts um the um i like that t-zero t-minus uh that is a pretty big part of it is is landing back where they can literally just like pick it up and put it back on the launch pad and refuel it um it it's a very large vehicle so i i think someday eventually you know we'll likely see a c platform for super heavy and starship and it will always likely return to the launch site it's not quite as fuel efficient and people are probably going why don't they like you know go set up every four or five hundred miles or you know a thousand kilometers or something and have one land on the next one and etc etc etc and do that well inclinations are always changing if you're actually trying to get into orbit um especially from you know like say kennedy space center you can fly up to like 60 degrees north uh as low as 28 degrees uh in latitude uh for your for your inclination so you're almost never ever going to be flying on that same exact route and it doesn't really make sense to do it around the world like that so you're you're just better off returning to launch site you do lose about um 30 of your payload capacity compared to um or about 30 you use about 30 of your fuel so not necessarily 30 of your payload capacity but you lose a decent amount but compared to 15 percent when you don't do um a a downward landing um a downrange landing so um this is from uh from richard and tracy says texas studio fund thank you very much um yeah uh i i if we're working on something we're working on something and if it works out it will be phenomenal and it's seeming like it's going to work out and it will be phenomenal so uh yeah stay tuned harry games is white looks better you like i do actually i kind of do like the white painted human lander i think it looks great when you see it in person it looks really cool although i think the shiny starship once they get further along and with more advanced welding better finishes and all that stuff i think the shininess will look amazing look a lot smoother and a lot cooler than it does right now so maybe we'll see a little bit of both so um yeah spread spreadsheet guy adrian we need to probably be following adrian um because he says you know average timeframe between skirt venting and try venting is about 14 minutes that time is long pass now so yeah we haven't seen any um any skirt venting we haven't even seen any vehicle venting so um yeah so currently uh as we know that the road closure was until 8 pm spacex is known to push that road closure arbitrarily much later than 8 pm so we're not going to give up the ghost yet um by the way do uh are we keeping ryan and gene up to date with with uh what we know because i don't know if they're able to listen to us necessarily so um oh wait but did we already see a skirt vent um i don't think we've seen a skirt vent we better also be recording just in case though are they recording down there do they have are we hearing venting oh all right well let's let's keep going here texas studio fun thank you very much william i really appreciate that uh that means a lot let's see david says um david will uh david of course hi david how are you uh why are these static fires so short like only a few seconds wouldn't be better to do a full duration fire i think the main reason for that is the launch pad they don't have any flame diverter they don't have any flame trench they're just blasting concrete and if you blast concrete for four minutes straight with the world's uh with one of the most powerful rocket engines flying right now you're gonna end up just absolutely just destroying your launch pad more and the ground actual concrete more the pad more than they want right um is that is that venting right now it does look like it's venting okay okay so rocket let's make sure we check off rocket venting um um let's see oh yeah uh cloud boy yes gene and ryan definitely deserve more than coffee money we we pay them human money like we pay them well to make sure that their their time and efforts are are worth it because especially like on a night like tonight taking a boat out to the middle of nowhere to be able to film for you guys is a dedication it is um it is very cold it is let's see here 50 degrees fahrenheit so what is that about 10-ish degrees celsius it's it's quite chilly um yeah not very not very fun okay cool make sure they're ready to record too okay cool do you want to go hit record on this guy sorry fix the white balance while you're at it all right um so uh yeah so david i think the main reason that we don't see uh that we don't see long duration static fires is just simply because of the rinky dinky launch pads that they are currently launching from so yeah um i i know that david's probably excited because there's going to be the green run of sls here in uh a couple days we're at about five days or did it move up to the 16th i actually thought i heard it say it moved up a day which maybe stacking the solid rocket boosters for sls uh was a good little fire under their butt because uh for this is maybe one of the first times that something has moved left in the schedule so i don't know if i'm right about that but i swear i heard that it moved to the 16th and it was the 17th so um yeah so i'm excited to see that because that will be eight minutes of full duration rs25 firing out at stennis space center with sls and that'll be really cool i mean eight minutes let's do it that'll be that'll be loud and crazy and super cool so i'm excited for that one x team official says will start should be like the space shuttle in terms of production and use uh production way different than space shuttle there will likely be a fleet of starships we're already seeing a fleet of starship prototypes greater than all of the space shuttles that were ever made there there are essentially six orbiters obviously one the enterprise never never flew but it kind of could have ish it had a lot of a lot of flight real flight hardware but it was not an actual orbital orbiter now of course the other five uh flew quite a bit and did quite well in that regard but we're already seeing substantially more than five starship prototypes and that's just prototypes they're gonna keep cranking these things out and just have a whole fleet of them so we should see uh we should see them be used a lot more frequently we should see them uh there'd be a lot more of them so we will see all right we should probably keep our eyes on it here any second because uh i i mean just in case we we don't really know um yeah we will see all right so someone uh in the back thank you so much for your membership i appreciate that um jonathan says i'm just here to hang out jonathan you're in the right place then because that's that's pretty much what we're doing you know on these nights when when it's just a static fire we're not going to see much action at all we're kind of just hanging out and sometimes that's what i love about rocketry and aerospace and and science in general so just kind of we can make these social events you know uh we can have something to look forward to have something to talk about that's that's a positive uh good thing in the world that we can be excited about so uh i i'm glad that you're here to hang out i'm basically here to hang out at this point uh really hoping that we see static fire tonight because it'll just keep adding and adding and adding to um everything we're doing so we're ready to we're ready to catch uh sn9 fly so let's see if that's actually the case um obviously not tonight but after the static fire um harvey james thank you so much for your tip i appreciate that this is from h mass lighting hey tim uh what's your thoughts on the new chinese space station launching this year actually i don't know too much about it i definitely would like to read up on it i think that'd be fantastic i think anything you know uh friendly or unfriendly that happens i know that there's a lot of opinions about china obviously there's some grave human rights concerns from from the country but as far as exploration and science they are pushing boundaries faster than we are i hate are catching up at least they're accelerating their their exploration and their and their their space abilities and in general i feel like nasa's kind of just maintained and kind of just kept doing the same thing whereas china seems to be ramping up so i hope that that puts a lot of uh comp competitiveness um and hopefully in a less civil or a cold war era way and more of just a friendly competition i would love to see collaboration as well i would love to see international ventures with china as well just like we started doing uh with you know with russia and the international space station and all other international parties i would love to see china get in on that myself and i would love to see them make awesome space stations and do really cool things but that's just me i'm hashtag team space let's play bass says uh was here for sn9 or sn8 launch streamed it while at work i hope you take a vacation around the moon in the future it starts here you rock people thank you so much let's play bass um yes sn8 was awesome that was awesome i hope sn9 sticks it because that will be unbelievable that will be the coolest thing ever honestly um yeah i i i just don't i'm kind of prepared for it like i'm thinking they made it so much further sn8 made it so much further than so much better than i expected that i really hope they just nail it with with sn9 so we will see um oops harvey james says i said sn8 and sn9 about my tweet about streaming i can't get over that i've said sn8 so many times that my fingers just default to sn just simply default to uh to sn8 now so saying sn9 and typing out s9 is just not something that i'm used to saying i have to get i have to get used to it so i am sorry um this is from augustine says augustine says how uh will the starship come back from mars without stage one well luckily mars has a much much lower gravity it's only 30 that the gravity of earth it also has a lot lower atmosphere so you can basically get off of mars and almost immediately or potentially even take off from mars with i mean you could use vacuum engines on the surface of mars because it's only one percent atmosphere vacuum optimized engines will work no problem on the surface of mars but um likely just if it's full of fuel even at 38 gravity you might actually be able to take off purely with three vacuum optimized raptors um so it yeah it it takes a lot less delta v to get off of mars it takes actually less delta v to get back to mars from earth because you're at an apogee going down so that's uh it takes less energy to do so than uh down going up if i recall or is it about the same it might be the same that delta v maneuver might be the same someone remind me um let's see here let's i'm just kind of watching here making sure we're not missing anything uh new member team 34. thank you so much and don't forget members and patreon members of course we do exclusive live streams and you guys will probably get a little bit more insight on the things we're working on down here we've been very busy working on uh more than what you see there's a lot more going on always behind the scenes than just what you're seeing so um i'm sorry that the videos are at a halt right now you know we did the the best space flight events we did the astro awards this year uh in between sn8 and sn9 that was the only video i could crank out in that time and that we cranked we cranked on that that was a no-sleep type of situation to get that out in time um but you know there's a lot going on behind the scenes and it really does and it means that we i can't work on my other videos it means we're doing stuff that i think will be better for for this in the future will be better for um the channel and for the community in the future and i can't wait to get back on videos i still cannot wait to make the video about the soviet rocket engines because it's going to be the best video i've ever made and i can say that very confidently um and i'm just excited about the subject matter because it's a really cool subject and i finally understand it and i'm excited to share it with you guys so um yeah but in the meantime uh we're we're working on some really really fun stuff so i hope you guys are here to stick around and check it all out um eric send him to mars send him to studio b thank you eric uh luke ketchin says uh how will the belly flop work on other planets does the different gravity or air pressure make a difference it sure does obviously the moon you can't do a belly flop maneuver there's no discernible atmosphere to be able to utilize but on mars here's the thing people don't necessarily understand you know why are they practicing this maneuver here on earth when on mars it's going to be totally different that's true to a degree but you can still model all of the you know we know the atmospheric conditions on mars and at hypersonic velocities when you're coming in from an interplanetary uh you know aerobrake maneuver on the surface of or not on the surface but in the atmosphere of mars you're going so fast that you're experiencing very similar heating you're experiencing very similar amounts of essentially air pressure because the the small amount of air can't get out of the way fast enough and compresses and creates heat it also uh is what can slow the vehicle down that you know that heat is exchanged for uh exchanging kinetic energy the kinetic energy is exchanging itself for heat in the compression of the air and that's that happens on the mars in this in in the same way the flight profile will be different of course on on earth you know that'll be a much higher altitude where they're doing most of the re-entry and it'll fall for a long time at terminal velocity starches will fall on earth for you know substantial amount of time at terminal velocity at mars they'll want to get as close to the surface as they can while still flying you know mostly 90 degrees to the to the airstream and only do that flip and the belly flop to tail down uh at the very last segment there's a chance it might almost never go completely perpendicular to the ground there are of course spacex did some real physics simulations uh back for the 2018 dear moon project they showed us what the re-entry profile of that older design would look like the the three-fin version and it's it is basically you know straight on to the windstream and then once it gets slower and slower and slower they did kind of do this for a little bit do a little bit of a belly flop and then tailed uh you know belly flop to tail down so um it's a similar thing it's just there's less atmosphere to to bleed off energy so there will still be a pretty substantial landing burn on mars but luckily again uh they they don't have to do uh nearly you know because it's 38 gravity it doesn't take nearly as much delta v just as far as gravity dragon and cutting off your your velocity from gravity so all right so here we go this is from from riggs thank you so much for the chat i appreciate that um let's see here um yeah i think the end of the window is about eight o'clock from what i can tell also we had a little tweet here from elon let's make sure he's not telling us anything important because sometimes he does um all right ooh elon's mentioning photography about dragon saying one day we will get a camera up there that also shows the star field in the background now for that you have to be uh on the dark side you have to be in the shadow of the earth you can't do a daylight exposure of dragon you can do multi-exposures of dragon and do a daylight image you know for a short shutter speed you know uh low iso and then on the but you know and then do another exposure and be able to actually expose the stars and then just composite the two but the other option is is do it in the shadow do it in the shadow where it's essentially nighttime shoot dragging it up you know in the shadow of earth and you'd get some incredible images and it would be awesome so all right this is from uh ryan blair says thank you tim so much uh which sn do you think will stick to landing ryan i'm actually feeling pretty good about sn9 honestly i think i i don't see any reason why it it won't stick the landing i mean honestly i think they learned enough and it went so well for sna if the header tank hadn't lost pressure and i think they have a temporary solution to it it's a little bit of a band-aid but they know what they're doing and i i don't see any reason now unless a new issue pops up that it won't just absolutely stick the landing sn8 would have absolutely stuck the landing had it had enough fuel pressure to get it so um let's see here so harry games by the end of the year with all tim's super chat money he'll be able to have his own tv show well harry i did actually do a traditional production in 2018. i shot a series with facebook so facebook watch at the time they had original programming just like netflix and all that stuff they were trying to do original programming i did a series i did a full series that was paid and like a full-blown legit production and i'm not doing that again i don't want a tv series why would i put something on tv at this point we have the audience here you guys are here you're more dedicated it's it's finely tuned to exactly what you guys want or hopefully exactly what you guys want and um we uh yeah at this point there's there's no reason to go backwards i feel like tv is dying obviously we're seeing things like peacock you know tv networks going into online only um i think that that's the future and i think it's just going more and more so that way so i see absolutely no reason i don't want i don't want a tv show like it would be a waste of my time already having a hard enough time producing the content that i want to produce um even if i had a big team even if i had a full-blown team it's so important to me that i'm learning the subject matter that's why uh when ghost rider and discord ryan and i and then the rest of discord and then andrew and i and all this stuff have been working on the soviet rocket engine video for a while it's important to me that i don't just have someone else do the research because i want to know what we're talking about here i want to know it inside and out as best i can and you just can't do that if you let someone do all of the research so how's it going seth good to see you in here i'm glad that seth is there yes all right let's keep going and thank you so much that was that's awesome of you though harry i appreciate that uh this is from sean random question um ever see a kid age three in the press area for launch trying to film a launch from pad 40 near vandenberg air force base uh wondering about access so um there you you won't be able to bring minor unless you're really high up you won't be able to bring minors in for any reason um like that it's it's quite difficult to ask john krause what it's like to try to do stuff as a minor on air force bases but um but kennedy or sorry vehicle assembly i was thinking sorry i was thinking vandenberg air force base i'm sorry uh uh wait vandenberg v8 okay yes near vehicle assembly building um you won't really be able to i mean unless sean if you work for nasa and you have access you're not unless that or working for the press you won't be able to get anywhere near the vab you'll probably the closest physical location would be uh would be the kennedy space center visitor complex and that's actually not a very good view i think one of the best views is from what i can tell is across the banana river in titusville um but yeah well the bus tour yeah yeah you can get right up but as far as trying to film a launch um from pad 40 near vehicle assembly building um but yeah you you unfortunately will not find kids on site you won't find you know again if you're elon you can bring your kids out to a launch if you're really high up you can normally find they're not really high but i think if you work directly for nasa you might be able to figure something out so um yeah so uh otherwise yeah i don't know i don't have a good answer there i'm sorry sean uh jordan says where will starship primarily launch from once operational i believe that this you know it'll it'll be i think one's totally operational it'll be a c launch period like i don't see any reason why they're going to try launching it from land all the time it just they'll be it'll be way easier for them to launch at sea hopefully it's close enough that you can still see it from uh from the land i will be really really really really bummed but uh yeah i i i don't know honestly i'll i'll be really bummed if we can't see the sea launch platform from land and without like a super tall tower you know maybe about to build like um you know what's uh like the burj khalifa or something to be able to get a high enough vantage point but i'll be really bummed so hopefully they do have it close enough but at the same time that getting far enough away from civilization that you're not just having insane amounts of noise pollution is also the big reason to do that too so we will see it'd be something like you know 10 miles so 16 kilometers would be like the bare minimum i think they'd want to push it out into the into the sea so i but i think you know once operational i think they'll fly from here from from the gulf quite a bit i think they'll fly from kennedy space center off the off the coast of kennedy space center or maybe right at kennedy space center for certain missions too so yeah we will see we will see uh ryan colier says tim what is what is the most underrated rocket in my opinion the most underrated rocket in my opinion past or present or both i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and include all historical rockets most underrated rocket man i mean from what i know about it uh inergia or yeah energy is how i think how you pronounce it i still forget even though i'm doing been doing research on it for so long uh energia is still i mean just because it only flew twice it's hard to really appreciate it and have hard to treat it as rated as high as it probably deserves to be because energy was insane energy it was would have been you know almost it was more powerful than their n1 moon rocket it was had more capability than the n1 moon rocket so it was insane it was what i think it's the second most powerful rocket ever second most capable uh rocket ever so uh not most powerful but second most capable because it was more efficient using a lot of hydrogen and stuff like that so yeah i uh i think i think that that would be a very underrated rocket and unfortunately it never flew enough to be able to actually be well loved and well appreciated which is why i'm excited to do a video about it that that talks about it a lot uh josh pickett um tim thanks for expanding interest in space and sharing the excitement with so many well thank you very much josh i appreciate you saying hi and this is my absolute uh dream job i wouldn't i wouldn't have it any other way um so thanks for saying hi uh vinnie martino says in such a negative time you are providing a great escape into the positive that is happening i plan to go out there this year thank you well vinnie thank you for saying that that's the thing one of the things one of the things that i just absolutely love about space flight is it again is something positive to look forward to something that we can be excited about something we can you know a little bit of shining bright light of inspiration and uh yeah i this is absolutely what i think is a lot more important than i mean politics and human rights and things like that are huge issues and they're vital like these are life-changing for people or life-ending for people you know these are big topics and big issues but at the same time in 100 200 300 years i know i know where i can make the biggest impact and i know for me it's it's trying to be as tuned into space flight and helping get people excited about coming together and uniting over exploration i just really do think that that's something that space flight does is it unites us over a common interest and a common bond so um i think that's important i think that's my current role in life uh not necessarily to be some like uh i'm the one that's space flight over but that's just my my love my interest my my energy all goes into it and i just don't think i have that much passion about anything else in life so why not get excited about something like this right uh this is from uh veridis coyote says do you have any opinions on 3d printed fuel one example is rocket crafters uh legos and laughing gas so uh i do have some opinions i i don't quite see i haven't quite found so you can use uh hybrid engines of course you can use nitrous oxide um or just nitrous but um let's see our other feeder real quick andrew yeah are we getting doesn't seem to be that much more venting but it might be does seem about the same we'll see um but as far as uh i just don't quite see the need like why 3d print your rocket engine what uh as far as having basically what this is a high it's a hybrid rocket engine so it uses solid fuel they 3d print kind of the engine and then they basically blast it with with nitrous or nitrous oxide and that's how it for becomes a you can it's basically a solid rocket booster that you can throttle but you can also 3d print them to be exact specifications in exact sizes but um i haven't quite found the need for it yet i don't i haven't been sold on why that's better than a traditional solid rocket motor or a traditional hybrid motor i get the the benefits of a hybrid motor you can turn it off that's what virgin galactic uses on their on their vehicle but as far as 3d printed i don't quite get the benefit there now of course i see the benefit for 3d printing a liquid rocket engine where there's a lot of intricate pieces and manifolds and little orifices and all these very intricate pieces oh here we go they might be going for the very end of the window so let's set that clock to eight o'clock there we go we are seeing something my friends we are seeing something want to um update them real quick and um yep got it okay um so yeah there we go so that's that's that's my opinion on 3d printed full-blown fuels like that basically um i don't quite see the need for it but 3d printed liquid rocket engines absolutely absolutely uh roger manley uh thanks tim and team for giving us a front row seat love the enthusiasm well thanks for tuning in roger again for those of you just now watching if you happen to be tuning in there's a handful more of you right now this is going to be a relatively boring event this is going to be a static fire where they're holding the rocket down they light all three of the raptor engines that are underneath it so this is again of course this is starship serial number nine this is a prototype starship vehicle starship's eventual goal is to get humans to mars that's not a joke that is the actual ambition of this rocket and they're gonna hold it down uh put some fuel in it put some liquid methane and liquid oxygen inside of his tanks and then they're going to light the three raptor engines hopefully successfully for about three seconds is also we'll see when it does light you'll see a big orange flash you'll see a bunch of smoke go up because it just kind of goes everywhere after it lights and then you'll see the smoke go away what is oh do we see a little light flashing there got it um so yeah they um that's what we're hoping to see tonight it's not going to be these aren't that spectacular but it's a great milestone knowing that sn9 is looking to fly and they're trying to fly it as early as the 14th there's uh there's there's uh tfrs and basically flight we're thinking thursday would be the earliest if this happens tonight they might be able to launch it because today is tuesday in the u.s central so um they could fly it thursday they could fly friday um we don't know we've heard rumors and people keep saying things like they don't test on weekends which is kind of true but i i don't know if they haven't really done many testing but i don't think they can't and they just kind of try not to so we will see this is from scott uh uh tim thank you and the crew for all you do in the face of constant uncertainty will spacex's relationship with media like you continue to be from a distance or will they let you get closer and get more info eventually well they give us elon gives us an insane amount of insight and info about this vehicle we've had information about this vehicle that we haven't had from any vehicle ever i mean we're seeing we're learning more about this than we frankly should almost at this point it's oh not quite but i mean he does tell us an insane amount of stuff and um they they're playing you know pretty pretty nice i i feel like honestly you know i feel like they're they're being pretty generous with with not you know totally shooing out uh press they let people go right up to the pad on the you know on public property they're they're being extremely generous with what is an extremely advanced rocket you know this could be all hidden away they could be doing all this somewhere where no one could be seeing you know on an air force base or um somewhere in the middle of the desert where they could have you know control over everything and not let anybody see it but the fact that they're doing it here is incredible because now we can actually bring it to you guys and and and bring you guys along for the ride and and that's uh that's quite special in my opinion so um i think they're already doing a great job and i really appreciate everything they allow us to do but it's important also for the media to not push the boundaries you know where uh i'm everyone around here everyone that that i've ever interacted with out here you know of course the crew from nasa space flight who's unbelievable you know they're easily some of the hardest working people i know as well you know mary obviously boca chicago and jack who comes out here a lot too and then just the team that helps put on the whole webcast and stuff i mean uh everyone that i've talked to from that camp is super understanding we're all in agreement of let's not ever push the boundaries of of what's smart and safe we don't want to risk the launch license we don't want to set a bad example as far as you know how to safely watch this rocket um and there's a lot of other people out here too that have all been so far very respectful of the boundaries and of the the rules and everything and i think that's extremely important from from now on i think we absolutely need to be making sure we're setting um a good example of that because we don't want to be you know spacex could put the hammer down and say like nope sorry we're going gonna totally block the road i mean it's actually really hard because it is a public road it's a public beach so they'd probably have a hard time doing it but you could they could really be strict about um you know who they allow to upcoming launches and things like that if they if they wanted to but they've been really really cool about it so um ashu says um why does starship need to refuel in space when super heavy booster does all the heavy lifting to get it to space well it's true don't forget there's a difference between getting to space and staying in space the booster isn't even close to orbital velocity the booster even if you know uh when it lets go of the upper stage there's a reason the upper stage has to do uh like six more minutes of lighting its engines and draining almost all of its fuel or virtually all of its fuel is because it takes that much to actually stay in space so you can go to space by just going straight up and coming back down you go up you know 62 miles 100 kilometers you're you're in space the arbitrary karman line basically but you'd fall right back down so to stay in space you have to you have to basically be going really really fast sideways just like if you throw a ball right if you threw a ball even you know if you're a really good you know if you have a strong arm you can make a ball go really far but obviously gravity will pull it back down a bullet kind of can go quite a bit further because you know it's going so fast that it essentially it does it's not like it's out running gravity it's just that it travels a lot more time uh before gravity pulls it down because it's going so fast so from point a to point b eventually it's going to hit the ground right because gravity's pulling down on it gravity's still pulling down on the booster when it lets go and the booster comes right back down at 9.8 meters per second squared and well slightly less because it's a little bit higher and you have a little bit of uh square reverse law reduction and gravity but long story short in order to actually get in space in the same space you do have to be going sideways really fast we're talking it's you know about 17 000 miles an hour about 28 000 kilometers an hour it's it's really really really really fast and uh so when the booster let's go uh it it turns around and comes back dry venting has started i have not seen that yet i should probably be paying more attention um that's a good sign if tripheting just started we should probably push our clock back a little bit andrew let's go 803. ish but i haven't also seen a trivent either but so um so the point is 150 metric tons is about the limit of what the upper stage can get into orbit if it you know if it had to if it's pushing anymore it wouldn't actually be able to get into orbit that means you can put 150 extra tons of something that doesn't have instead of a payload you can just replace that with fuel dock up to another one and just continue to refuel it a super heavy booster if it tried to get itself into orbit would have nothing left over and likely wouldn't get into orbit at all yet so um yeah that's why that's why starship needs to refuel in space um because it it still takes almost all of starships fuel to actually get into orbit so super heavy uses a lot of fuel to get up into space to get above the discernible atmosphere and inject a decent amount of velocity but it comes back empty you know it comes back basically empty so yeah hopefully that that helps i don't know if i made any sense there uh tector audios says um hope to visit bokuchika someday in life to also make content but now we have your team so keep it up and almost a million subs so thank you detector we are getting close i would love if it happened to work out that we hit a million um i don't think it's gonna happen but february 27 2017 is the first time i made a scripted video on youtube where i stood in front of the camera and told you about a space fighter and it happened to actually be when they announced that two people were planning to go around the moon on falcon heavy and dragon um there we go okay so now we're probably about 15 out 14 out let's go ahead and go let's go 804. sweet all right i love it that's the engine chilling they're beginning to chill down the raptors so um yeah i i it'd be great uh if it would happen that i've reached a million by that four year milestone like the fourth year of on the dot of doing youtube videos would be awesome the beginning of the fourth year or however you'd say it fourth year yeah four year anniversary there we go i'm doing youtube videos i would love that that'd be really really cool but it doesn't matter in the long run it's a very arbitrary number but it'd be fun to it'd be fun to do that we'll see christopher claussen thank you so much hey tim put this towards your text studio uh can't wait for starship to be a weekly or daily occurrence it's feeling like that's going to be happening pretty soon i mean like in a couple years i feel like in two or three years there's a chance the stuff will be um will be just happening constantly you know we'll have test launches even starship by the end of the year there's a chance we might be seeing something every two weeks right so uh pretty exciting times can't wait um and thank you so much i was that was really generous christopher so thank you uh arthur morgan says uh tim would you ever seriously consider and be willing to ride the starship assuming the program was excess and it was reasonably priced i would ride on it after you know in 15 20 years after it's proven to be reliable and safe for humans i would consider it i absolutely would consider it but i don't want to be anywhere near it when it's in a development state okay so let's see i think our time's pretty reasonable but we'll see um all right and just for people that are wondering i don't i don't want to live in boca chica or obviously not poke chew because you really can't buy a place but you know either in south padre or brownsville or um or any of that stuff i don't really want to live here i do want to be here quite a bit though and i want to be able to cover this stuff as best i can i have a really great life at my in my home town in iowa and i i like being there i have great friends and family that's quite important to me but it is also important to me to cover this i'm trying to kind of balance those two things so i don't necessarily want to live here but that's why we're kind of working on something that i think will be a good solution so i'll let you guys know about that uh soon uh paul thank you so much for the membership is awesome you will stay tuned for some live streams uh slow dancing with the mongoose i love that name what are the chances of spacex painting starship electric mucus green and stamping it uh plan x uh i don't i don't quite get it but yeah what plan x what am i missing is that it do you know that joke that reference i'm sorry oh wait like mucinex i feel like that'd be like if it's yeah but i don't know about plan x uh we'll see we'll see whatever this is from uh dude am productions thank you very much um let's see this is from uh tim copen says tim as i as a skydiver and wearing a tight-fitting jumpsuit which i'll bet is uh close to the surface to the which which i bet is close to the surface to weight of a nearly empty starship i can get better than a one-to-one horizontal movement yeah you're right i mean with a squirrel suit uh or you know full with a good jumpsuit you probably can and you're probably right starship probably can get beyond a one-to-one glide ratio um but look at how look at how frosty that baby is i love it that's looking good um it probably can but as far as like properly flying and gliding i'd really hesitate to call it gliding i would really hesitate to call gliding you know it probably could for a brief amount of time but it really would stall extremely uh high at a really high speed stall because uh it doesn't really provide traditional lift using um traditional aero surfaces so all right let's keep going here um this is from oh i see planet express that was oh that's i did not realize that was sorry that's plan x i did not realize that okay sorry thank you i under i understand now okay from um eckemus maxima says can you tell uh little miss anna banks to go to bed and promise her she can watch your video listen anna you need to go to bed you can watch this in the morning i promise uh it sounds like sounds like uh you're your parent there i'm it sounds like maybe your dad will allow you to see what happened in the morning so don't worry uh we are gonna see just a quick static fire but you know what i'm gonna uh echamus maximus there's only five minutes man come on just five minutes let her let her see a little static fire you know maybe just be like the cool dad for just a second and then and then anna you go right to bed i don't care no excuses after that right to bed all right um this is from uh razenbot uh the the space shuttle heat shield was very expensive to maintain right wouldn't this be a problem also for starship well um let's see the uh the problem with the space shuttle was that all the heat tiles were completely basically unique there was almost no uniformity to it at all there was really no way you know all of the different things so they had to check each and every single 24 000 of them they're also made out of silica which is extremely fragile had to be glued onto the bottom of the shuttle it was not a very robust solution starships are going to be physically bolted they're mostly going to be uniform because most of the body is just that round cylinder you know a tapered cylinder when it starts tapering they'll have to do something a little bit more special and for the hinges and the flaps but for the most part for the most part um it's it's way more uniform and they're using tough rock which is a complete it's a slightly it can ablate which the space shuttle tiles did not it'll be substantially more reusable tougher bolted on more uniform 21st century so we can use automated checkouts you know like a a robot arm with a camera on it that can scan everything automatically people have to had to use to scan them eventually they had a scanner for the shuttle before originally it was like hand look at every single 24 000 tile eventually they did get this cool like scanner scanner tool thing but um yeah it's uh i think they're making a lot of improvements to a heat shield compared to the space shuttle that um that i think will be help make it more reusable and cheaper in the long run so yeah good good question though um nd me on 10 degrees celsius here saying t-shirt weather huh you know what i should that that should be me too and in iowa right now it's well below zero celsius uh so i shouldn't be complaining but when there's a really cold sea breeze and it's and it's ten degrees or five degrees and stuff like that it is very very very cold so yeah um we're guys don't forget our our clock is a pretty rough estimate here um of three ish minutes it could be before that so starting in about a minute we really should be paying attention keeping our eyes glued here remember the static fire is going to be very short it's only going to be about three seconds in duration if it goes well and uh and that's it that's all we're gonna have is about three seconds sounds like the sirens are going off now um have you are you able to hear ambient audio out there okay okay but hopefully hopefully we're getting somewhere okay harvey james um says you put sna and sn9 in your tweet about streaming don't think sn8 is reusable anymore yes i i realized i did make an error but you know what i'm just i'm just too excited to fix it and i just love sn8 too much to to even try typing as a knight too much you're gonna see me say that a lot i will accidentally say sn8 a lot i guarantee it all right this is from um harvey love that spacex make these public well they don't really have a choice unfortunately um you know realistically they are they're doing this in a public space and near a lot of populated areas so they don't really have too much of a choice which is great for us and i don't think they minded either because it does bring up a lot of attention it brings up a lot of excitement for what they're doing and it's quite frankly a really big tool to to allow the public to be engaged and be excited so yeah so i don't think that they're not necessarily like hey here we are uh hoping to do this you know or bringing this to you because otherwise they would be streaming all these things but they aren't really hiding their rockets either so and the progress here of starship so all right so here we go guys we're getting really close we're probably within about a minute or so so we really need to be tuning in i'm going to try looking out the window and see i'm actually going to open up this too so we can really hear it oh that's cold oh well i want to hear if maybe i should open it after we see it because it'll take it'll take a while to get here it's really cold i'm also just a wuss an iowan that should be used to um all right it should be used to cold i'm scared and sad oh man and one last one here before i'm probably just gonna tune in here and start paying attention but jay jay humphrey is laughing at human money yeah coffee money is great and i love coffee money trust me but um you can't quite always pay bills with coffee so here we go guys i think we're any second so get ready to pay attention i'm actually just going to look out the window it's quite dark but i should be able to see it hopefully famous last words want to come check it out andrew oh yeah yeah could be any second guys so don't forget this will be really short and hopefully all it is is the engine's lighting and that's it it'll just light up for about three seconds should be any second the anticipation the anticipation is killing me come on baby come on we need the static fire come on baby please there's the drone i just saw the drone fly through the shot come on baby i'm like glued to this i hope you guys are ready this goes well we could see a flight here like thursday or friday so um or hopefully within two to three days after this so fingers crossed big time come on come on baby come on we're seeing venting here we go oh is this gonna be a d tank that's detanking that is a scrub yep you know what to do that is not a static fire my friends quick friendly reminder this is still a very developmental vehicle with a temperamental you know relatively new ground tank system relatively new launch pad they haven't launched from this pad b yet uh new systems you know every time they're flying and taking this thing it is still an experiment it is still uh you know something that's relatively new and normally we just wouldn't see these these these growing pains you know these little these little pains in development but we are it is very public because we're tuned into this and we have cameras pointed at it like crazy so although this sucks the vehicle's still standing um it doesn't look like it was quite a full d tank so um it might be scrubbed it might um who knows guys who knows if they'll they might you know they're the road is supposed to open at eight so oh man we will see well i've got more questions to answer i guess we'll always see what happens this is the old uh watching paint dry with everyday astronaut thank you for tuning in from joseph gates says for your golf stream six for rapid deployment to any launch or at least your bokeh chica studio thank you so much honestly uh any thoughts on seal number 15 doing high altitude flight for heat shield and high speed re-entry i think that's exactly i think that's what they're going to want to do for seal number 15. i think seal number first 15 will be the first time they're like hey let's actually get this thing to really high altitudes uh and high velocities and what they could do this is if you go back to 2018 at the falcon heavy demo flight so february almost exactly three years ago elon said this year even uh what he said was uh he said next year so 2019 he said we'll do some you know kind of small little hops with with a starship so that was star hopper he said the next year we'll hopefully do some higher flights that was serial number five and six which were still the same height but then of course seal number eight was a higher flight and he said hopefully after that we start going you know flying away and turning around and actually accelerating back towards the launch pad um or the landing pad and actually like doing testing the the re-entry heating and actually getting a sense of of how the tiles are holding up so they are they are doing little spritz of de-tanking but so hopefully you know there's another one um they by the way sometimes you know when it's when it's fueled up like this um they they sometimes do try to go for another attempt depending on the circumstances and of course we don't have insight on the circumstances so we don't necessarily know there is of course always still a small chance they could try to go tonight again but the more and more we see that that is the more and more they are de-tanking so less and less likely um but yeah i do think seal number 15 might be the first one to go way up and out fly east over the the gulf get up to an altitude of you know 100 100 kilometers plus which would mean it would need more than three raptors it would need uh it'd probably need six sea level raptors to do that test which would be a pretty big milestone uh because they'd have to fill it so right now three raptors cannot lift a fully fuel starship vehicle it needs six to be able to actually lift itself pretty much off the ground and uh so we'd have to have six raptors that would be pretty much full and then it could probably do something like a 100 kilometers or more so that would be what i would love to see from sn15 would be something like that but it'd be really interesting to see a starship with six raptors flying because that would be don't forget with just three raptors it's getting close to as powerful as a falcon 9 booster close uh not quite but it's getting there so about four raptors would be pretty close to a tipping point and have as much power as an entire falcon 9 booster so six raptors would be not the most powerful rocket that spacex has flown because of course heavy is more powerful still but it'd be getting up there it'd be a fun milestone aaron speck says haven't been able to join many streams live lately so i just wanted to say hey tim and go hawks thank you aaron good to hear from you again uh thanks for thank you for the tip i really appreciate that from jeffrey tripp um will you interview elon after this serial number nine launch i don't know i don't know we're trying they're trying uh schedules are very complicated right now so we will see we will see um yeah there's nothing on the on the calendar yet but we know for a fact that they want to of course i want to so we will see uh musical wolves how is a mission control protected during a static how is mission control protected during static well mission control is far enough from static fire that it's no problem mission control is about two and a half miles so about four kilometers or so so it's really not a big deal um but launch days is a little bit a little bit sketchier but for staticfire you know we've even had we've seen really big booms like serial number four and it was fine for um you know for mission control so yeah um this is from tim hester says it's a new member from tim hester thank you so much for your membership i appreciate that uh brian banks thank you wow uh tim do you actually have elon's cell number love you bro no comment but thank you very much brian i really appreciate that uh you are awesome from thomas wams says could spacex use an equatorial galapagos island as an operations base so here's the thing it it comes down to how much performance do you gain from a little bit further south latitude and how much you know could you gain two three four percent payload versus how much more money does it cost to run a separate launch pad on the other side of the world and getting starship there getting personnel there getting fuel there all of the things that logistically we take for granted here um with texas or with florida or california or anywhere else really you know when there's infrastructure how much launch infrastructure and and assets are there in the galapagos islands so that's kind of the trade-off is like sure you might get three or four percent more first off is there a demand for three or four percent more performance in this particular rocket if not you know if there is how much more can you make can you fly enough to make enough money to pay off all of the additional complications and logistics of flying from the galapagos islands so um yes of course they could do that they could launch equatorially like kind of french guiana is a perfect example they fly soyuz from french guiana and i don't know if it pays off i don't know the numbers but i i have a hard time seeing it honestly pay off so yeah we'll see um i did want to really quickly bring up though uh for you guys we are doing uh we do have 10 off of the everyday astronaut full flow stage combustion merch andrew go ahead and pull it up for one quick second uh use coupon code launch day uh go down to the full flow collection here and these look straight looks stretched on this monitor but you can go ahead and get 10 off of anything in the full flow the full flow collection here by using launch day all one word one coupon code by going to everydayastronaut.com shop and we do have a lot of things back in stock like our drinkware that you guys were that we had missed out on before because they sold out for the holidays but now we do have mugs and drinkware and the moon lamps that are twice as big as they were before and lots of new sticker packs and stuff like that too so if you guys want to help me do what i do and also get some fun stuff for yourself uh go to everydayastronaut.com that means a lot to me so yeah thank you back to the rocket and uh yeah uh the hoodie might have been sold out but we may have restocked a good amount of them but we also do still have the shirts so anything that is in the full full combustion cycle is on sale for 10 off so um okay i guess the full flow hoodie is sold out currently but we're working on restocking that i know for a fact i thought it maybe had been done already more detanking more detanking all right from santa says uh would you consider to make a more detailed video about engines rockets etc i'm studying uh aero engineering at university so i want to know more but university won't won't do that yet because i'm still second year i am making as detailed videos as i can that's kind of the end of my knowledge i i'm not an engineer i'm not an aerospace engineer i'm not a scientist so everything that i know and have learned is from public information so um i am incapable of really making any more in-depth videos then like the raptor engine and the aerospike engine are about as deep as i get into the actual inner workings of an engine there's still some more things that i'd love to talk about someday um like how to start a rocket engine would be it will be a fun one because there's a lot of different ways to start rocket engines um you know there's a lot of fun things to talk about and we'll get to those in in a in future videos but at this point i can't make like a more detailed video um i'm doing as much as i can at this point but i'll work on it so i'll try i'll try for you and i'll try getting even more detailed you know about injectors and things like that but um just stay tuned because that's what we try and do on this channel is just make detailed breakdowns of really complicated topics so toby blair says tim after starship sticks it uh what do you think the next step is i think they'll probably want to stick it again honestly i think they'll want to fly the same profile maybe they'll have confidence with the faa to fly it a little bit higher but doing that exact you know maybe doing 15 or 20 kilometers like we initially thought they were going to uh but do do mostly the exact same thing maybe fly a little higher maybe fly a little faster and just do that on repeat until they're flying at really high speeds and actually testing the heat shield so all right gus says uh tim love the channel which starship do you think will be the first one to do a re-entry well define re-entry because i think anything technically anything that would reach atmospheric pressure so really anything over about 50 kilometers is basically re-entering um but you know as far as orbital re-entry i think will be like serial number 22 or something like that um probably near the 20s for an orbital reentry i think sean number 15 will will practice reentry heating though by turning and burning and coming back uh really fast uh at the lane at the landing site from a really high altitude so um it's kind of hard to nail that down but i think as far as orbital will be like in the serial number 20. um shannon uh peugeot or pigott says hi austin uh austin's not here with us but maybe he's in the chat but if so hello austin i everybody loves a good austin bernard i i assume that's who you're talking about but yes um joe says um so if we don't get static fire today which we didn't does that push us back for flight to friday next week i think friday now would probably be most likely you know if we get a static fire tomorrow wednesday that does that does mean that does mean uh friday most likely um we don't really have any way of knowing for sure but that does seem to be the case it seems to be a day-to-day push so uh jessie thank you so much for your membership i appreciate that joe says uh in the what have you done for me lately category how is the russian rocket engine article coming along looking forward to it well it's more than an article it'll be a full-blown hour and a half video this thing is going to be insane and like i was talking a little earlier on the stream that um unfortunately when we're down here we're doing a lot of things it's not i i wish it was just us sitting around we actually did sit around for a little bit last night was that last night or two nights ago it was last night for like maybe a couple hours yeah that was great that was great that was like our first time of like not just still doing things we're constantly working on things and you know we're literally working like 14-hour days that's just kind of how it goes out here and we're also working on some other things so we're doing things for the stream but also working on other opportunities that were there that i'm hoping to try to line up for for everyone and um that means that everything else gets there's just physically not a minute to work i did actually sit down a little bit ago two days ago or so i was working on some of the the last little bits of information we're still trying really hard to find any info about the rd-150 if you can find don't send me the astronautics link don't send me a little blurb from there's like only four things out there on the if you google rd150 and try to send that to me i'm going to be very mad because of course we have done that of course we have looked up as much as we can find about rd150 but i'm trying to find the lineage from the rd150 uh kind of what inspired it what commonality it has with any other engine whether it be the rd273 the 275 um anything we don't know where grassmann straws to really make any connection to that and then the rd150 is what spawned the rd-170 which is what we which is what spawned the rd-180 which is what the atlas 5 uses in the rd181 like antares so um getting to the root of where the rd-150 came from would be awesome so um if you happen to be uh russian or can speak and read russian and can find some of these old articles and stuff talking about because this was originally developed for the inergia and actually a program slightly before energy which i'm forgetting off the top of my head right now like the yrf series or something if if you can find where the rd150 actually came from when glushko decided to to take on that instead of the after the n1 program ended you know glushko started developing a super heavy lift vehicle himself so if you know anything about that please please please please please please let me know this is from um haran says permission to start uh send him to the moon fund no i'd rather let's let's forget the moon and sending me to anywhere let's work on improving this setup here because this setup like i said um i'm not even showing you guys the mess because there is a whole mess of stuff that we're still working on it's insane and what we're trying to do is make a place to be able to keep some stuff set up permanently so that's the goal that's that's a way better goal to me than um than going to the moon or mars because there's a lot more talented people that uh that could actually do some really good things i mean some day i would love to go sure sure but for now let's focus on this let's make the best content we can possibly make let's improve my my use of time andrews use the time let's improve our use of time not having to set up everything have a more permanent home base here to be able to be able to do these coverage for you guys and make a better product in the long run better quality without a stress tip that's capable of making more content so yeah so i uh uh haran or or jaron i i want to go ahead and say permission denied this is going to go into studio b funds um haas garage says love the content uh shooting for my son vincent uh shout out to my for my son vincent watching he loves outer space he's four years old and wants to go to the moon vincent see why don't we start to send vincent to the moon fund if vincent wants to go to the moon four years old by the time vincent is 25 or 30 years old you know there's a real possibility that vincent can just go to the moon just that would be the world that vincent lives in it's just get on starship go to the moon in 20 25 years so that's why we're streaming that's why we're trying to bring coverage because that is the future that we're slowly seeing well not slowly fastly uh but on days like today it feels like it's slow progress but it's really fast progress so um let's see here this is from brian jones hi tim uh thanks for the channel how many starship prototype launches do you think we will see this year that's a great question honestly i think we'll see we could see 10 i think we could see 10 prototypes this year they seem to be set up to be able to launch once a month so 10 gives some wiggle room for things to not go right i do think i think we could see 10 but things never quite go right and you know once they get the first booster out there there could be a long period of time of trying to figure things out and new connections and stuff like that so um maybe maybe we'll see um elmar says uh ksc often opens the beaches at saturn 5 center and the bleachers at saturn 5 center for launches but tickets are usually very spendy like over 150 yes that is true uh you are absolutely right those are the feel the heat tickets those are probably especially for a launch from 39a those are about the best seats in the house those are almost as good as the press side even they're in some ways you have a better view from 39a for 39a if you are at the field heat which is at the saturn five center at kennedy space i do have a video and an article about where to watch launches from sorry it's old and i'm yelling and i'm in a spacesuit never mind it but uh yeah i there is uh i do have kind of a where to watch launches from a little guide on where and how and what so yeah um don't forget that yeah all right so uh this is red 114 one tim and crew thanks for from russia for your work for c-star i think greatest problem is lox plant unlocks storage yeah that is that is a big deal there so thank you very much red114 for for hanging out with us and and and thanks for yeah i hope that you look for i hope you're looking forward to the the russian video that we're working on because it's going to be awesome i promise because i have a huge huge huge uh fascination and appreciation for these engines now so all right uh renault says uh what do you know about the chinese methane rocket forgot they were developing one until there was a reply on your twitter regarding the first methane rocket to orbit uh zhuko too i don't i don't honestly know almost anything about that i really need to brush up i first need to brush so now that i'm brushing up on russia finally the next one for me to brush up on is actually india i really want to know as much as i can know about india and then from there i want to brush up on china probably would be the next one or maybe or maybe europe i feel like i probably owe the ariane series some some love alden says what do you think about the idea of building a man-made island or commandeering an old oil rig to build a launch pad and caused by out to the site well i definitely think an oil rig is basically what they'll be using i think they'll be using quite literally basically an oil rig or for a c-launch platform someday i 100 think that uh and then uh they'll just take boats out there or helicopters maybe even a hyperloop if it's the same location that they take it to every single time who knows but i uh we know this we know that elon's talked multiple times about pursuing sea launch so it'll definitely be a thing they do and uh yeah i that's absolutely from maine day6 says is that italy elon interview gonna happen soon maybe maybe i mean it's well soon soon as maybe but it should happen soon i have no idea we keep uh we keep hoping uh yeah we keep we keep hoping to to to do it and uh we've been in talks and uh trying to figure it out but the logistics of when and how to do that is actually quite difficult with with elon's time as you can imagine you know one of the most important people in the world doesn't just sit around all day waiting to get interviewed so we will see crafty geek says have you considered a co-stream just co-streaming with nasa space flight channel das valdez on twitch or do you have strong preference for doing your own thing oh crafty geek um no i've actually popped on their channel before a couple times i love the nasa space flight crew they are awesome they are you guys know this you guys know they're awesome um and i've popped on there but on launch days and stuff it makes sense for us to have as much coverage as possible what if a stream goes down what if a camera goes down what if all of these things it's important and i i i tend to think that all ships rise with the tide is is my attitude towards space flight and and towards media in general is that i don't necessarily see it as if i'm streaming i'm taking away from them or vice versa you know um i started streaming uh i started streaming stuff from boca chica two years ago uh really rickety and really poorly but i started doing it about two years ago uh before star hopper ever even did a static fire i was trying to catch the static fire came down here and streamed and at the time you know that wasn't a thing and i've never once been upset with the idea of other people streaming because it makes sense there should be other people streaming this is cool stuff and um trying to villainize it or turn into some kind of arbitrary competition is pointless so i think there should definitely be collaboration but having all of us have our own streams up i think also makes sense and that way you guys can kind of have a control room where you can put up whatever footage you want to see and control the shots yourself too so i can control your favorite hosts you know at that point you know you could have multiple streams pulled up be listening to them if you prefer their chatter and their banter they're great you know obviously the the crew there does such a good job of commenting on things um if you want to hear lab's crew talking if you want to hear you know my thoughts on stuff like whatever you can you guys get to pick and choose and i think that's kind of the beauty of youtube is we don't have to merge everything together we can have options so that's kind of that's kind of uh my opinion so um andre says hey tim thanks for the coverage as always well thank you so much for for hanging out oh look at this from ash daddy of course do you think those 50-pound rabbits so what would that be 22.5 kilograms or so uh about that check my math i think it's about 22.5 i'll be very excited if i knocked it out of the park if i just nailed that off the top of my head 22.6 we'll say not bad we'll say not bad okay so 22.5 kilogram rabbit uh would be able to take the g's under an uh a normal liftoff of course i think a rabbit would easily be able to handle uh up to three g's on liftoff i think that's well within their their uh you know think about how many how much crazy stuff rabbits do already rabbits are just crazy in general so yeah absolutely um hey if we think they're if they're done and they're not testing tonight okay maybe why don't we um why don't we get them out of there and we can put our other camera up what do you think yeah yeah but they just they don't vent at full speed so they don't cause they always vent it about like this yeah it feels a little slower than normal but you know they don't they can't just open up the vents and let it rip because of cold freeziness and all of the other considerations um jack says tim thinks rap is right here breaking two g's i don't necessarily think they're breaking two g's at any point but i think their bodies are capable of of uh pretty great feats i think they're you know pretty athletic i don't know from uh possessed llama send tim to mars should we just name this if we get a studio b should i just name it mars yeah okay sure you could go ahead and send me to mars thank you very much uh old caroline uh carline caroline carline uh continue the the great work mate can't wait uh to launch can't wait to launch this thing fly uh i can't wait either honestly this is going to be fantastic and uh and that means a lot so hopefully this is just an awesome flight so we will see uh hey leo the human no no no no not the rd0150 that's the problem with russian rocket engines zero 150 is different than rd150 totally different engine totally different engine uh okay i'll answer this one jacko 800 even you've been trying for a while uh what kind of g's will passengers experience while it's doing the landing on mars it'll be very similar to the landing on earth uh they'll likely do uh um it'll be as far as thrust to weight ratio on mars it'll be a higher thrust weight ratio but it'd be a total like earth g same three g landing so um ish i mean up to three g's i have no idea it'll be very similar to earth though it won't be anything crazier so we'll see but i don't know honestly the whole sn8 profile blew me out of the water had a ton of unknowns and i was shocked so i i don't know if i have any of the answers about what they're going to do on mars yet so it is still frosty but it seems like they're definitely detanking so they're definitely tanking david swenson thank you so much thanks for enthusiasm for space drinks for the crew well thank you david thank you very much tonight it's going to be very hot drinks i think we uh we'll have to get some hot chocolate nothing caffeinated at this hour uh but yeah ryan and jean are out there freezing their butts off for us so they did actually bring hot chocolate they bring a burner and hot chocolate and uh yeah i think tonight would be a great night for some some warm drinks so yeah thank you very much david i'll make sure i treat the crew pretty well i try to i think i i'm gonna yeah okay andrew andrew says yeah yeah okay so hopefully that's that's legit uh stefan says uh thanks for everything you do and keep us inspired here's a little contribution to the the mystery studio project thank you so much stefan uh hopefully it doesn't disappoint i don't think it will if uh our main if our main idea works out i don't think it'll disappoint uh shaky oregon like planet express from future memory yes sorry i was way late on that way late uh joel thank you so much for the membership i'm gonna kind of speed these up here a little bit because i feel like i'm way behind uh eric rubinstein says thanks for the effort and great content that you post we really appreciate all we learned thanks a lot well thank you very much eric for saying hi and hanging out alyssa says uh when you get back to iowa stop at zombie burger and get up and get poutine on me enjoy the slightly warmer weather alyssa that's awesome i love zombie burger dang i would absolutely do that zombie burger's awesome song burger's like the most ridiculous burger place like where you have you can get macaroni and cheese fried macaroni and cheese buns let's just put it that way that that describes it better than anywhere else so thank you very much alyssa uh ryan libby uh didn't know you're from iowa cheers to the midwest yeah a couple iowa comments thank you very much uh gus frangel says hi tim love the content when can we expect to see some re-entry testing i've mentioned it a few times i think my opinion is that seal number 15 will likely be some of the first ones to fly higher and faster and begin uh really actually seeing how the heat shield handles some higher temperatures and pressure so that's just my guess um but that's that's my guess and that might be you know may june i have no idea david letter says uh right to bed it's 3 a.m here in switzerland and i want to see it i want to see it live unfortunately you might be waiting a little bit like another day so justin rogers good stream man keep it up thank you so much i'm happy to be here and covering this for you guys uh yossi rhoden says just wondering are you self-taught about all the space stuff absolutely um in 2014 when i first went to kennedy space center and covered a launch at the time for nasa or for space flight now uh i didn't know anything i didn't i didn't know i could i could maybe tell you what i was learning what a solid rocket booster was versus a liquid rocket and i could maybe call out and point to a saturn v in a space shuttle that was it that was literally all of my rocket knowledge right there so uh so i was self-taught since 2014 and i have a lot more to learn i am by no means an expert but my job i found that my position my job is because i'm not an expert to have this curiosity to keep wanting to learn and then teach you guys what i learned that's the whole point of what i do i never claim to be an expert there's people that are out there like tim's pretending to be an engineer he doesn't know anything about engineering yeah i don't i'll gladly admit that my dad was an engineer i grew up working on cars and motorcycles i have a little bit of an innate ability to tinker on things but i'm not an engineer i don't have a degree in any of this stuff so when i'm telling you what i learn it's it's the best that i know and i'm i'm not saying that i'm right all the time and i'm glad to be wrong and i'm glad to learn and that's the whole beauty of of learning is that you can continually shape your knowledge and and keep learning more and more and that you once you get i think i'm beyond the tip of the dunning-kruger effect though i've been quite humbled knowing that i don't know everything at all like i'm very low at the very bottom rung of of aerospace knowledge but i'm learning i'm learning and i'm trying to teach you guys everything that i'm learning and that's that's the whole point of this channel so uh landon says you rock tim thank you very much landon i appreciate that um adam says uh first time here love the content keep it up well thank you adam first time man we got a lot for you this is the live stream stuff is not what we normally do like this is a small portion of the everyday astronaut channel i i pride myself in making really detailed videos that will break down really intricate topics for you so that so that it's not intimidating i know that people people think that an hour long video is intimidating just by the hour they think oh an hour long video but because it's an hour we don't rush through anything we don't we don't skip steps we don't uh we also don't skip the beginning pages it also allows us to dig deep enough in that you don't have a ton of answer or a ton of questions at the end of the video that's the whole point of doing long-form videos is hey we can take this thing as far as i can take it for you and then you guys just get to sit along for the ride and learn as much as i can tell you so that's that's my that's my opinion on that and thank you very much for hanging out i hope you subscribed and find uh find a lot of videos to help you learn as much stuff as possible alan b what was it that caught on fire briefly in the engine bay during the 12.5 kilometer test uh those were when the engines go out there's still residual fumes you know there's literally the pumps are still spinning there's literally even after uh shut down there's still going to be flames spewing out and because it becomes a low pressure zone all of a sudden some of the fuel and and oxidizer and stuff will kind of go up into the skirt and be on fire for a little bit but it's not like a high in the grand scheme of things it's not high heat and it's not high pressure just kind of flames so yeah that's every engine shut down we saw that at the very end we saw uh a two to one switch they went from two engines for the flip down to a single engine for the landing burn but by then the header tank pressure was too low the engine was starved of fuel and was running very oxygen rich and just eating itself eating oxygen at that point so from man m tech studio fund tim keeper the great work can't wait for my new full flow t-shirt to arrive awesome thank you so much man emma i appreciate that from man drake two two mans back to back come on elon surprised us with a high altitude test definitely not today that would be a big no-no and i would poop my pants because we are not nearly ready here for that stuff we have a lot more to set up so i would i would cry if this thing randomly took off so yeah i would actually cry uh but yeah ryan and jean are within the exclusion zone of a flight they're not within the exclusion zone of a test but they're within the exclusions of the flight so they would not be able to be there and that would be very bad for their safety charlie uh what's the timeline now it's like looking like tomorrow is our next opportunity for a um a static fire so hopefully that would be wednesday central uh uh hopefully all day long they have until probably seven or eight local time to be able to do a test so hopefully it's tomorrow day so it's warm and uh yeah do we want to get them out of there did they talk about it yet i i say let's get they're just freezing we can pull up by their camera yeah why don't you go ahead and tell them to pack it up and head on in and leave the uh the dishes but bring in everything else okay let's keep going here uh from equine starbeat says sad tim noises very much so but thank you ecwid uh jacob wolf any indication that the scrub was going to happen based on the lack of tank farm activity a few minutes before no that looked like a pretty normal uh the tank farm dies down while the once the more that the fuel goes from the tank farm into the rocket the more that uh the less activity you see in the tank farm the more that you see venting and stuff from the rocket but also we didn't see a ton of tank farm activity because it's it's cold uh when it's a warm humid day you see a lot more tank farm activity so um we just yeah we didn't really see that so all right from this is from eddie um endymion uh so you suppose they might d-tank a fair bit before a static fire to test their helium pressurization uh i don't think that um i i don't think they're d i think they're done for the night they're they're at the end of their window basically i think they're done for the night and they they don't need to necessarily test helium pressurization they would have done that for the wet dress rehearsal uh they know how to handle helium back pressure uh it's probably literally basically a software configuration and just plugging in um a helium port into one of the copvs that used to use uh gaseous methane so shouldn't be too big of a deal uh that's why they were able to do it in weeks macbeth uh thank you very much macbeth i appreciate that david meyer thank you that is really nice thank you david i really really appreciate that uh lassix says thanks for the 24-hour clock personally not a fan of the am pm clock great overhaul on the website love it dark mode is fantastic yes big fan of the dark mode look um yeah the 24-hour clock though it the united states is about the only people that don't use a 24-hour clock it just makes it easier to be able to tell you know if it's so many things i i you know even even if it said like nine and it's the right time of year if you if we put pm or am not everyone associates that i don't know it's just i think 24 o'clock is the right thing to do for aerospace but um thank you for the feedback though i do appreciate and thanks for checking out the new website norm thank you for the membership this is from ac uh dimalev says thank you for coverage looking forward to the upcoming uh yes he did it too uh it said sn8 launch and the sn8 launch after that oh i think he's making fun of me though all of them are just going to be sn8 launches dang it i thought i was i thought i was like see we're still all used to saying seeing sn8 but really it's just that uh sorry that i said as an eight they're all sn8 launches in my heart and they always will be uh casey redragon is locks made on site or piped in so they're working on making it on site but currently it is trucked in which um yeah and uh colin mcveigh uh well let me just all right colin mcveigh thank you so much for your tip that is nice thank you very much let it go right towards studio b plans let's play bass again that rocket is do still doing things dope it is still venting but it's not doing um anything of any particular interest now so we will see we will see but i'm pretty sure it's done for the night uh brandon james do you think they will launch from texas and land in florida at some point to test re-entry etc i don't think so that's a big gap that's further than like the falcon 9 has ever flown uh it just doesn't make sense if you're going gonna overfly land anyway it it no i don't think so long long story short no but that's a good question though carmelo says hi tim great work hopefully we can get a static fire sometime in the next couple days that's for sure hopefully we definitely can definitely can um and yeah hopefully we do see it in the next couple days travis cecil says uh start a tim's vacation spectator home near boca fund well thank you travis see there we go maybe that that could be what we try to figure out and then that could be studio b or something but we'll see uh derek ross why are seal number 15 through 17 so much further along in the building processes than 13 through and 15 or 14. we they they cut 13 i think they cut 12 13 and 14. uh just because they they were old hardwares an old design why fly something old when you have new ones ready to go so they are they're moving forward onto the serial number 15 is kind of the mark of a new new welding techniques likely new steel again this is already using 304l but maybe this new one's using thinner 304l so they're making progress on on flying new hardware and not old hardware and that's quite important so all right uh debbie debbie davey thank you so much for the tip i appreciate that our han handy thank you for the membership um uh elequence says uh what will it take to get you to wear the orange russian suit again i have no interest in wearing it again honestly i don't i don't know what it would take at this point i have no idea um i don't want to do it for anything like like a starship flight or something because i just want to it sucks to wear it really sucks to wear i don't know maybe for like halloween or something or some kind of you know yuri's night or something i'd consider it again but um not not for any videos or streams or anything it just doesn't appeal to me so from dusty geek says all the best for your aerospace engineering how much does it cost any age limit when i can start i am 37. man i i don't know i've you can start right now absolutely i don't know how much it costs because i've never become an aerospace engineer and i've never begun that process uh so yeah i i don't know but i i think that you uh you should absolutely start if that's something you're into absolutely 37 that's i'm right there with you so um yeah i i've i want to someday go back to school for i want to go to school for architecture i want to become an architect someday i'll probably be 50 and get little tiny glasses or something but uh in order to fit in but i i haven't i think going back to school to pursue your passions is extremely important um sonic fan 32 have they over fueled it and detanking for static fire no uh nope that would not be likely they they have a very measuring and knowing exactly how much fuel is in the vehicle is extremely extremely important uh and measuring the exact amounts if it overfilled that that's almost an impossibility so um i'll just go ahead and say uh that no that's not an option colin mcvay i want to learn more about ground service equipment tanks pumps flame trenches mobile service towers you think they'll ever make a video about stuff like that yes i do want to make a video about uh i've started a couple different ideas for that but that's in that long list literally a long list of i think i should just show you the long list of ideas because it's people act like i don't like videos take a long time to make andrew's laughing in the background because he knows here's um here's list one of video ideas okay there's this one that's like these are upcoming he's like next here's list two of videos um these are like next up part two here's uh part three video ideas uh spacex videos and uh general space flight and why don't they just and eventually get twos i have a lot of video ideas i have no shortage of video ideas i have no shortage yeah um but we'll see that is definitely quite literally on the list so uh cody thank you so much for uh the membership i i appreciate that and same with robert thank you guys both for robert h matthews jr for the membership uh viridis coyote says would you rather have three identical international space stations or one giant iss that's three times the size of the current one a giant one a hundred percent especially bigger like larger volume spaces not just the same diameter you know stuff that could fit inside the space shuttle i think it uh i think it's time to have a bigger space and instead of three iss i don't think that would get us too much i think a giant space station would be awesome absolutely uh stefan says greetings from madrid thank you so much and uh yeah thank you nh gaming have you seen the single launch space station unofficial concept it's a very cool youtube video um i don't think i've seen the single oh i actually have seen that yes i believe i have seen if it's the starship single launch space station yes i have seen that and that is a very cool concept i agree and we might see stuff like that why not you know starship would be but at that point at the same time i'd rather it would make more sense to you know starship has to survive entry and re-entry and launch or at least if you made it a space station you still have to survive ascent and then once you're on orbit you still have a lot of extra weight for all these huge fuel tanks you know 100 ton dry mass is nothing to scoff at plus all the you know the engines weigh a lot and all the stuff i think you'd be better off just opening up the jaws and releasing an inflatable habitat or something that would be more dedicated so it's lighter weight it's it's more meant to be a space station you're not lugging around anytime you have to do any kind of orbital maneuvers or raising and stuff like that it'd be way way way easier um yeah uh hammy243 says you should consider uh you can you should consider miking up your crew for sn9 we could maybe we could maybe do something like that if we wanted to have just a little bit of talkback and stuff we might need a bigger mixer at that point someday we will have a bigger mixer yeah we keep expanding if you knew what we bought between i don't even want to say it's almost embarrassing like what we bought between seal number eight and number nine i mean it's got to be well over 15 grand worth of gear well over yeah when i say i spend every penny i make in this stuff it's not a joke it's not it's not some hyperbole it's it's what i do try to get you guys the best coverage possible uh debbie davey says uh thanks for enthusiasm i'm a proud patreon supporter is there an advantage to static fire tests taking place at night no there is not it's just simply they're out of their window but debbie thank you so much uh for for your support i really appreciate my patreon supporters that patreon supporters are what makes me confident that i'm not just going to go broke when i spend every dime and more than i made in trying to do this stuff so thank you debbie i really appreciate that but no there's no there's no advantage other than just trying to use as much time as they can at to you know while the vehicles out and while they're trying so yeah uh sarah fuller says very good answers to questions about nasa's space flight streams i couldn't agree more well good sarah thank you i i agree they are good friends of mine i i love the crew at nasa space flight you know jack and i have been out here jack and i covered star hopper together he was out here for star hopper in 2019 having a hard time remembering now uh and we it was funny because we didn't really know each other at first it was i'll admit like it was kind of awkward because we didn't really we didn't really know i don't know it was like are we friends even though we're both working on other things or whatever and then in the long run now he's become a really good friend and i just love seeing him out here although lately this trip and stuff and the last trip is just not as fun because it covered and it's like we can't really hang out hang out but seeing him out of the pad and stuff like that has been really cool so so yeah thank you sarah roger faw says do you think we are in transition from uh kardashev civilization class zero to class one i personally believe we are in that tradition transition love your channel well thank you roger i do actually think we're i keep saying it's the beginning of a new era of human of space flight and therefore of humanity and i truly believe that i really really think that we are just at the beginning of seeing humans really live in outer space live off of our planet long term so thank you roger john clayton do you think elon has deliberately left starship development open to the public so that other countries will be able to copy and hence contribute to building help build a colony on mars that's an interesting question john i definitely don't it's elon he he's not he wants everyone to compete with him and i don't think it's necessarily intentional i just think that they just don't care i just don't think they care enough to try to make this all a big secret so yeah that's that's my opinion on the matter um ashton henderson hey tim big fan of your content you first introduced me to rockets with your boeing spacex abort system video awesome keep up with the amazing work well thank you ashton thank you for watching thank you for hopefully learning and for the support i really really appreciate that all right uh justin says i like that name justin is there going to be an actual static fire tonight no i'm pretty sure we are done we're very likely done so i'll the answer is no patakuna uh i run a pizza restaurant in maryland and have been showing your streams of key events on our 70-inch bar tv can't wait for the future of this channel that is super cool pat i love that i l that is like the ultimate that's the ultimate compliment knowing that there's people just hanging out together watching space flight like that's the dream this is to me to me this is more exciting than sports i've never been someone to really care about sports other than sports will make me cry randomly when there's like acts of sportsmanship like sportsmanship is the thing that will make me cry like when an enemy or like an opposing team like helps someone or like you know celebrates someone else's victory like that someone's like they didn't have to do that you know like uh other than that's the only thing that's the only thing i'd ever watch sports for other than that space flight space flight baby yeah and i'm glad to see it's almost becoming that way it's becoming like a uh people tuning in and treating it like that almost because it is it's something to look forward to and something to cheer for so yeah ashdaddy tim i am an engineer bsme retired from air force your videos and knowledge surpassed most engineers still this money's for your conversation uh your your conversion accuracy thank you very much hash daddy i i was actually shocked that i that i knocked that kilogram on like on the nose pretty much but i'll remember now 22.68 uh thank you ash daddy ben pike thank you so much i really appreciate your tip from dinotrac great name uh thank you for doing what thank you for doing what i can't do dinotrac that is exactly why we are here because not everyone can make this stuff happen you know i know that i'm fortunate enough to have a life that i can dedicate to this stuff because it does if you are trying to casually observe this stuff you will lose a lot of money on hotels and you will likely not see anything i thought i got down here to i we were so nervous andrew had a shoot on last saturday we were really thinking he was going to miss it and here we are four days later still no static fire even so it's really hard even us i'll say armchair experts of watching this stuff at least i'll i'll call myself an expert of watching it but an expert watcher even those of us that are tuned into this stuff professionally um we still get it wrong so trying to casually watch this stuff and come down and see it it's going to be awesome and there'll be plenty of opportunities but for now in the early days it is hard it is very hard uh pair character from kw thank you very much by the way james and and jody i are joe jody i definitely have seen it and i will see it in the it's coming up in in the queue so you guys are coming up don't worry discord i'm not forgetting about you i've seen the debate uh cosmic sans green kirby ah here we go again thank you very much comic sans uh but not today it'll be tomorrow um all right so this is from steve baker why are some tanks painted white and others black why are some vertical and others horizontal that's a really good question i actually need to learn up learn up i guess that kind of works i need to learn as much as i can and scrub up on all of the tanks and what exactly each tank is i should probably do a video about that someday especially as they're building the super heavy site the orbital pad and as we start to see more tanks go out there go through what each one is and how they work and all that stuff so all right jason um i still sometimes say sn82 okay or just laws thank you jason i'm glad i'm not alone because i'd say it all the time aaron if they truck in locks what exactly do the tank farms do love your work first time i've been able to catch a live stream awesome thank you aaron oh well the the tank farms are to hold it so they don't have trucks on the pad like they fill these tanks to the brim uh and they bring them in truck by truck by truck fill them up and then hold it there until they're ready for launch so the tanks are vacuum insulated so there's basically a cylinder you suck out all the air and then you have another cylinder which is kind of held by some points and then you can keep it cold uh as cold as possible then you can recondense it and and make it and liquefy it and keep it liquid and all that stuff as you fuel up the rocket so that's about all i know this stuff is still quite foreign to me i definitely need to ask some more questions and learn more about it and someday make a video about it like i said ground support would be an awesome yeah edward says orange equals good goal reward to do for a charity event orange suit probably yes that could be a charity event you're right well tim put on the suit or something for charity that would probably be worth it alec we were asking about the rd-150 so i was wondering if you checked on archive.org because there are some documents that touch on it i love the streams i believe we've gone to archive. well we we've gone to the internet archive to find old articles that were taken down from like uh from um uh nurgomosh and stuff like that but yeah not not i don't think i've seen anything specifically from archive.org but we andrew want to write that down quick or just remind me archive.org got it um james packer thank you so much for the membership and from michael irish would you rather fight one horse i stuck or 100 duck-sized horses man i i'm probably team 100 duck-sized horses because no they could they could all trample you they could swarm you but then what they just lightly kick you with their tiny hooves like oh no yeah but they could go over here with a hundred and then what could they bite with their tiny little chompers they're they're omnivores so they don't have you know they have they're still pretty strong teeth i've been bit by a horse before it's not pleasant but it's not hmm man i don't know i'll let the internet decide cop out cop-out answer but a horse-sized duck do i get any weapons if i get like if i just had a spear or something like come on i can take that out easy i just poke it in the heart and it's gone uh give it a little heart poke that's assuming it's attacking me i'm not gonna i'm not gonna kill a horse-sized duck for no reason it's it's coming after me and my friends and family and i have a spear i'd much rather do one horse-sized duck all right discord here you go get ready discord yeah you're right casper i could just befriend it there's probably the best answer just befriend it and then you don't have to fight it there's the answer here we go from anush patel this is big this has been all discord's been talking about all night day day month month year year or year year month month day day or month month date day day day year year many thanks from the patrons of discord so okay i i gotta admit i have i obviously grew up with the month month day day year year that's stupid that is dumb that's wrong i actually personally i actually like day day month month year year best because that goes from smallest integer of time to largest integer of time but i also actually think when you for like file structure and stuff on your computer i actually think year year month month day day makes the most sense because um sometimes if i'm just looking through a bunch of files i want to know especially if it's been years i want to know what year it was so i'm actually i'm going to go ahead and say my official opinion is year year month month day day that's my official what i think is best largest to smallest you heard it here first uh from michael mclean open an everyday astronaut cantina in boca chica well elon's already doing stuff in boca chica i'm not gonna be able to do anything in boca chica but maybe i could do something someday in uh port isabel or south padre island so i would love to do that someday especially if this stuff just keeps going the way it is like how could you not it'd be so fun so definitely definitely something i would love to do brian clawson how are you brian love to hear from you as always captive audiences and staying and still staying to watch and talk with you even when you call it sn8 well keep up with the great work thank you brian i really appreciate that uh it's so great to always hear from you thank you uh la la lilly i've asked you before for uh i've asked you before for 20 but can you please ask elon to create a probe to drill into europa thanks for what you do well actually don't forget there is the europa clipper mission which has the ability potentially to do a europa i still think things like that should be government funded because there is no profit incentive to exploration frankly like there's there's a profit incentive to deliver something to explore but who's going to pay for uh that's where i think nasa still needs to be leading the front is making these you know flagship missions to far off worlds with dedicated science instruments and things that are that don't have a profit like who's going to sure elon could probably fund a vehicle to go to europa but you know i don't think that's necessarily his job i think his job would be his time and effort would be better spent getting it cheap enough to make it arbitrary to be able to send something off to europa or the outer solar system shrunken flash any idea on why they haven't de-tanks sn9 yet it seems odd they're just letting out spurts of gas like this well this is relative this isn't unheard of um you know sometimes it does just do um little spurts like that and it's a really cold night so we probably are seeing the condensation there uh for longer than we're used to but um yeah it's it's scrubbed i mean it's done cool topping some money towards studio b love your channel thank you so much cole and from james bramlett says okay today is uh 12th of january anyways personal favorite current band of these 21 uh uh anyway personal favorite current band of these okay between 21 pilots five finger death punch kg elephant uh and foo fighters i would of of those i would say 21 pilots because i think they're uh i think they're actually a really really talented band that's very eclectic and i like the sounds that they bring to the table between everything and just really clever songwriting uh really unique sounds i'm actually yeah i like 21 pilots i'd say i'm a pretty i'm a pretty big fan i mean i don't like listening to them regularly but i think they're cool um and kg elephant i gotta say wrong i like them but i like tame impala better i don't know just for some reason those two bands are on the same radar to me but and foo fighters i mean you gotta love you gotta love dave like uh but i'm not actually like an avid foo fighter fan per se i said but yeah that's that's uh that's my opinion but other than that my personal favorite current bands other than that like i love um i don't even know i i i like a lot taiko is still one of my favorite bands um but and that one honeybee song that i was listening to over and over and over and over and over and over and over last time we were here it's a great song we haven't listened to it yet we probably should maybe that's why it's not happening all right we're gonna listen to that tonight oh that's a great song huh is honeybee by what is it immortal something orchestra it's a weird name that doesn't fit the sound at all but it's such a hot song unknown unknown mortal orchestra thank you great song honeybee uh nicholas can't think of anything hey tim do you know how fast starship is going is going during the skydiving maneuver oh declan knows i don't remember we could pull it up on flight club we can do that give me a minute here because of course it doesn't let me put in a address without doing this quick and that's really dumb uh and i might have to sign in to flight club so just give me a second here um i will let you guys know sign in with patreon if it'll let me and one second here guys and everyone is six 405. i don't even know how to do this anymore do i okay okay hang on i'm getting close i'm getting close so we need to go to simulations uh all right go ahead i'll show people how to do this so i'm on simulations uh on flight club and what we're gonna do is we're gonna go to pass missions we're going to try and find snate sn8 i feel like he actually called it 12.5 oh here we go we can just pull up starship sn9 so we'll take this we're going to run it run simulation and it's going to give us a pretty darn good representation of maximum velocity so it looks like the maximum velocity is actually on descent and would be about 140 meters per second which translates to let's just kind of get this 140 meters per second to kilometers per hour first 504 kilometers an hour which would be about 300 miles an hour is the fastest that it ends up falling uh while doing the belly flop maneuver by the it slows down though because obviously the atmosphere gets thicker and thicker provides more resistance and eventually gets down to about 70 or so uh meters per second but right when doing that flip maneuver so uh yeah so between 140 basically 100 and about 140 down to about 70 all just from the atmosphere so yeah there you go all right back to the rocket from jack question what kind of bear is best bears beats battlestar galactica uh throw up the rocket real quick to you again um uh i think the best bear is obviously the polar bear because they are adorable actually little brown bears are cute too they basically look like big dogs i would say the best bear is the bear that lets you that doesn't kill you that's the best beer uh this is from chinenader hey tim love all your videos and content thank you very much generator i appreciate that uh brendan cross hey tim i just finished a cadet thing as a senior we were unable to do the planned lesson so we ended up watching your your re-entry video that is awesome well thank you very much brendan that is super cool man i wish uh i wish i had a teacher that cool when i was growing up i had great teachers but i guess we didn't have youtube so maybe my cool teachers back then would be doing that stuff now uh from uh jealousob hey tim is it true that you will offer yourself as an a visiting experienced orientation officer for rocket lab soon well i absolutely i i mean assuming that the launch goes off when we're not doing anything here uh i absolutely will be covering that there's there's a couple launches that might be happening in the next couple days um rocket lab is what saturday yeah ooh it's actually friday night that's going to be rough we'll see if i might not be able to cover it if we're if we if we streamed all day friday i'm not going to be able to cover rocket lab on on late friday night so yeah this is from sandra i own 75 acres five miles from boca chiga launch pad come join our development to an open space center etc sandra that is interesting i wonder where that's at well dang sandra um you can find my email online or or reach out probably on like instagram or something would be the easiest way that is very intriguing actually um that is very very intriguing let's talk i i like the way that sounds but guys i think that's actually going to do it for me because i think we're we're just literally quite literally watching paint dry at this point now so um there is definitely no reason to keep streaming paint drying and i definitely want to get some food in my tummy and in the rest of the team's tummy so uh before before everything closes up because that is a big concern out here is things we might be too late already nine o'clock is the cut off for a lot of places so um i'm gonna
