Starship Flight 10
Recorded: Aug. 26, 2025 Duration: 2:31:52Space Recording
Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. You Starship flight 10, take three.
Well, they do say third time's a charm,
so let's see if that pans out for this situation as well.
Yeah, should be quite nice.
Weather favorability, it says again 55 we'll see
yeah i chose a uh i chose a time that is like uh 25 minutes in advance assuming they haven't
changed the time last i checked and i literally just woke up so yeah i crashed pretty hard so yeah
we we back baby um
all right excellent speaking of weather it's actually quite raining down here at the moment
it's really it's really something man yeah pretty nice brian Brian well yeah
the moist
the moist moist season is beginning again
also as I like to call it the wet season
I like to call it the moist season it's quite moist at the moment
but it's heading into the wetness part
so yeah another question that people
need to ask yourself is like why the fuck does everything
I interact with have so much to do with moisture
but hey you know that's how the universe works
so yeah
proceeds to drink fucking coffee like have so much to do with moisture, but hey, that's how the universe works, so... Yeah.
Proceeds to drink fucking coffee,
like, everything is so moist right here, what the fuck?
We're all 70% water,
and the planet itself.
Yeah.
But the air belongs to us.
Yeah.
It reminds me of the, um...
Isn't that the Air Force things like you know the air is
ours or the sky's ours I need to like learn I need to learn that slogan it's
it's pretty good it's it's the same as the you know we are your defense thing
you guys know the we are your defense clip the oh right you know we are your defense
i like that one in the u.s is aim high fly fight win i don't know if that's the current yeah yeah
yeah that one that one is one of them but the other one is like where they have these recruitment
videos you know where it's like you, they describe like how many percentages of
the like earth are these things, but like, and then the sky is like, it belongs all to
us and something like that.
It's had the video around here somewhere.
I should probably post it one day, but oh well, where's my thing?
I mean, my brain is still processing shit.
Where's the clip for that?
Found it.
We are your defense.
There you go.
Like my,
the timeless Martian account is literally meme archive.
It's like,
that's ours. So yeah. The Timeless Martian account is literally meme archive.
That's ours.
I like it. I like it very much.
That one's going to get an affiliate bench soon,
so that's going to be pretty cool.
Yeah.
Get affiliate? For what?
Which organization?
Mine.
Oh. I just love saying that
oh that gets as many representatives hmm
all right i'm sorry noia joins the stage what's up what's up
hey hey hey guys there's isabel welcome welcome And Noya joins the stage. What's up, what's up? Hey, hey.
Hey, guys.
And there's Isabel.
Welcome, welcome.
Hi, Isabel.
Where is Andre?
I'm in the game right now.
Your microphone is cooked.
Yeah, your microphone sounds cooked right now.
Or you're retired or something.
Yeah, we cannot hear, anything really airpods no don't do airpods don't do headphones just speaker yes
oh second goodness me.
Okay.
Can you guys hear me now?
Is that a commission?
Yeah.
Yes, but way loud.
Way better.
All right.
So, okay.
Let's check some other stuff as usual. If you got any, uh,
I'll just make that post again.
There you go.
So if like,
so I made that post real quick there so that people can see that because I want,
I want there to be, you know, videos taken.
So if anybody's down there at Starbase taking videos or anywhere near Starbase and is able to take
really awesome footage of the launch or perhaps
somebody is near the Indian Ocean, whichever so happens to be. Not sure that you'll be anywhere close
to where the rocket will come down, but I'm pretty sure that with lenses
things can be achieved. Even though
it would be quite, quite, quite difficult to do
because you'd have to really goon the edge along the airspace
because restrictions, right?
SPEAKER 1 1
Yep, yep.
And then we can use them in an edit.
If anyone has some good ones.
You good?
SPEAKER 1 1 I'm asking if my friend should be there.
These would have to be nice, stabilized shots.
Because if they're not, it's going to look really weird.
And not something that one can include in the edit.
It needs to be of high quality. You know.
Yep.
I feel like we could reiterate what we talked about yesterday, but eh.
At this point, I just want to see it launch.
Yes. Yes. It would be kind of funny if it was like this one I just want to see it launch yes yes we've had it I mean
we have one if it was like four but yeah we'll see we'll see what happens I
mean what is the weather down there like right now let me just take a look all I
know is fifty percent five percent favorable so I guess that I'm assuming
that's overcast or something like that with some clouds and... Well, yeah.
Looks...
Looks pretty... looks pretty decent.
Partially, partly cloudy.
Mostly cloudy, actually.
Wind is 14 kilometers an hour.
It's not that bad.
Like breeze.
The humidity's cracked down there right now.
Holy shit.
What's the humidity over here didn't they
change the name of Boca Chica to like just star base or is it still called
Boca Chica well that one's star base yes so let me switch that again.
For some reason, I thought you were starting this space in 20 minutes.
No, no.
No, no, I wasn't going to do that. Because I wanted to pick a time that's before they actually started the stream,
which was scheduled for, you know, 55 minutes after the hour.
So I was like, yeah, fuck it, we'll just make it 30 minutes after the hour so they we can have like a pre-mine for 20 minutes 25 minutes and then like you know do whatever
that's right we have a pre-mine yes okay so if we look at this right now, 29 degrees there.
Air quality good.
Okay.
Humidity 92.
I'm looking at, that's weird.
I'm looking at the current.
I'm looking at weather network.
Not sure where you're looking at it.
We're loading the looking at it. Disability 6 kilometers.
We're loading the propellant.
Take a look at what's going on here.
Stream starts in 30 seconds.
Wait. um stream starts in 30 seconds wait let's see if they start it oh wait yeah they're
11 knots right now i'm doing 11 knots of wind
11 to 9 knots
not that bad
Pretty neat
Not that heavy
Looks mostly acceptable
I think
T-46 minutes
Okay
So we got a lot of time to fill yes in the what that
invites some people up yep um did you call out on Jossie no I was probably
gonna be a bit busy not color But we'll see what happens.
You can message him.
I just want to see you do it.
It's funny to me. I want you to message him.
It's for a turn.
Oh, catch and strays. I just want to see to it.
I like how the monitors are like wrapping around and stuff.
Oh those ones, I mean, the ones that are used for monitoring the situation.
Yeah those are epic.
Perfect looking monitors. There we go with the black tip on the rocket.
Like it's black now.
Mhm.
I guess that's because of the new heat shielding or something like that.
Black yeah. I like it, huh? Lucky him.
Have you used payload ever flown? I like when they had the banana as their payload in the previous ones, that was kind of funny.
Yeah.
That was my favorite. Okay.
Oh, we got the lower cat.
Lower cat?
Okay.
Oh, no, he's syphoned.
Oh no, he's so fun.
He says he's too busy.
He's flying the booster at a higher angle of attack.
That's probably another reason there's added stress on it.
Cool. They are going through the previous malfunction. Cool looking plasma.
Okay.
There's a lot of gas down there.
You're looking at the stream?
Are you sure that's gas? I'm pretty sure that's just the cold air.
Plasma?
Is it? Gas should not be leaking out from that.
Yeah.
That is likely just the cold air.
I mean...
And if the gas were to come out, it would look pretty different.
Not discoloration-wise, but like form-wise.
It would be all over the place I'll try to go over the details
for people who are not following so um the booster um is planned they're
planning to they're not we're not they're not to use the catch tower today
to avoid any kind of damage
because the launch today is mainly to test the ship
and the booster and their failure mode.
Yeah, and collect data from it.
So the booster is going to splash down in the Gulf of Mexico.
Gulf of America.
Sorry.
Of America.
Yeah.
And then the ship is going to splash down in the Indian Ocean.
Yeah, and they're doing a hover test before landing. And then the ship is going to splash down in the Indian Ocean.
They're landing.
Yeah, and they're doing a hover test before landing, so that's going to be kind of interesting
to watch, see if they can actually hover it.
Yeah.
Booster goes into Gulf of America, ship goes into the Indian Ocean.
And for the booster, this is going to be the first time they're going to test the failure mode where only three, sorry.
So usually they have three Raptor engine on for landing.
And this time it's going to be only two to test the case where one of the engine malfunctions basically.
Taking the middle one out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And for the ship, they're testing
different tiles,
so heat shield
tiles.
There is a passive
shield in... What are they made of, Adrian? Cermic? There is a passive shielding.
What are they made of, Adrian? Ceramic?
Yes. The black ones, yeah, they're made out of ceramic.
Special type of ceramics.
Yeah, so those are going to test the different geometry and also the edge.
And they're going to collect data and compare it to the other type of shielding,
which is going to be active heat shielding.
I think it's active cooling.
Is that the metallic one?
Yes.
Yeah.
They have a metallic one too.
How do they cool it?
What do they use for that?
Gas.
They use the propellant.
So oxygen, liquid oxygen and methane.
Yeah, right.
Does that make sense?
If you actually zoom in on the ship, you're going to see a lot of missing tiles.
That's also done on purpose because they want to collect data for the uncovered part of the ship.
This is mainly like testing really
bad case scenarios.
Yeah, so we're going to see
some spectacles likely.
That's a thing.
So that is all within spec,
so to say.
I wonder if the booster's going to start all within spec, so to say. So if there's like...
I wonder if the booster is going to start spinning out.
It would make sense.
But I guess that's not going to happen.
So we'll see.
Yep.
And the last thing, the upper state is going to deploy
eight Starlink simulators.
That's their payload in space and perform the in space
Raptor engine relay.
Yeah.
So this is the first time that they're going to have a payload on a starship.
Usually it was empty.
Deploying a payload.
Deploying, yeah, exactly.
They've had payloads before, yeah.
Deploying, yeah, deploying the payload.
They had a banana.
Yeah.
That was their payload.
They used it for like a gravity indicator
like when it was floating
they were
yeah the other times they were
testing the door right
yeah
and now they have
the door jammed last time
and this time around they're gonna have
these props Starlink props
basically they have the same mass, weight and all that,
and just the hardware for them to be deployed, but nothing valuable.
I think it's because the real Starlink satellites are expensive to make
are expensive to make and they can't risk it in a mission like this.
and they can't risk it in a mission like this.
They're between $750,000 and a million each.
So all eight of them are just props, functional props.
And again, they're going to collect the data.
And if that works today, it's going to be a pretty big deal because it's going to confirm
that Starship can the potential to release
like 180 to 200 at a time yeah so basically if that works um the price uh the cost for deploying satellites is going to be
five to ten times cheaper.
Really? So they would just only use Starship,
you think? Yeah.
To deploy them after that? Yeah.
Interesting.
Right now, Elon's just speaking on the
stage there
it's a previous recording of him because he did that yesterday
right right
technical briefing
yeah
what is it with me and my obsession with cats recently
I don't know what it is like just cat memes
I don't understand this
cats are amazing we love cats
cats are incredible
I never move on from cats ever
you know I heard one of your good friends is a cat yeah yeah that's true Cats are amazing. We love cats. Cats are incredible. I never move on from cats, ever.
You know, I heard one of your good friends is a cat.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
I thought we were a cat.
We've got mod cats in here.
Yeah, we've got a mod cat in our Discord.
That's true. Yeah, this is true.
He's got spiky hair, but he's flattened out recently yeah we were just like literally the discord yesterday going like yeah i'm a cat
i'm a real big cat it's true yeah because like if you think about cats like if you if you have cats
and uh the cat looks at you it actually thinks that you're a cat too. Yeah, it does.
And if you're quite cat-like in some way, then yes, you are.
It'll accept you
as more of a cat. It just thinks that you're a really big
weird cat.
That's why a cat's so happy when it sees you.
Come back from
wherever you've been at.
In its mind,
whatever you do out there is like
hunting, effectively.
It processes that as hunting.
It's like, oh, it goes out to grind, so to speak, but like it's hunting, right?
There's no guarantee of returning.
That's how it processes the event.
You come back, and it just sees you as a really weird hunter that brings back weird types
of sustenance that it then transforms into stuff that the cat can eat.
That's its weird perception of you.
It's like, wow, this is a really weird cat,
but it's feeding me, so we're good.
Right?
It's like, imagine how weird it must be for the cat.
You go out for eight hours, come back,
and it's just got a bunch of stuff on you the whole time.
So it's really excited, obviously.
And then you make it food.
So it's like, hmm.
Mine goes to my truck when I get home.
It's like, this is his property.
We must go.
He, like, sits on the roof.
It's kind of funny.
Yeah, I love it when they do that.
It's always funny because, like, you can tell if there's, like, cats in the neighborhood,
they sometimes always walk over my car.
Like, I don't know why they walk over my car.
It makes no sense to me.
I don't even know what that cat is.
But, like, I come out in the morning, cat paws on my window it's like oh okay cute you're accepted by the cats
yeah oh yeah i have very little problems with them i do have a problem when they
shit in the garden i'm like that is pretty ass but like yeah
it's like there's anything around that's gonna mess with that, so we're good.
Usually bury it, it's not that big of a deal.
Yeah, or figure out the origin location and put it back, just kidding.
Don't do that.
I'm too petty, I also choose not to live in a neighborhood with like also people, unless
they're quite distant.
So yeah, don't take what I say about neighborly relations and apply that it's
not a good idea it's not gonna work out so well I live in a I live in a wilderness
so rules are a little different slow but we have things a little bit differently here.
Like if there are relations at all, like you hardly go over to your neighbor's house.
And then if you do, it's like probably because like there's some sort of, there's some sort
of land desk thing going on.
Like you have some land related stuff or some people related stuff.
Like for instance, you're trying to figure out if somebody tried to steal something or
like you're going there because you're, you're like employed by them or you have one of theirs
employed usually a thing like that or you want to like strike some sort of deal with them you know
like because it gives like lots of villages here right and if you wanted to like see operate on
their like land then you have to like kind of strike a deal with them and so going there and talking to them directly is like what you do and so it's
like yeah you hardly ever interact with those people and then what do you do it's
like sometimes a year or so and like there's the time gap of about a year or
two you check in occasionally and you do things. Yeah.
I usually bring them like food. That's the first thing I do is like bring them food
and like their local drink.
They really appreciate that.
And then we have like a discussion.
A respectful discussion on IG.
You can't be like a podcaster bro
and go to TSMC and go like,
hey, I want $7 trillion worth of like, you know, chips.
Right, that's not gonna fly, you know, chips, right? That's not going to fly.
You know, you're going to be like realistic in your expectations, making a troll on Sama here, because that's actually what he did.
Like Sam Altman went to like TSMC and said, Hey, I would like this much.
Like he just wants to say, Hey, $7 trillion and like fucking chips.
It's like, what are you talking about?
Like what, what did you get me?
Look, I know your upper limit is like supposedly compute but like
this your architecture is ass no i i i i don't even want to begin to break down why that just
doesn't make any sense like i there's just so many vectors and clearly you don't know what the
fuck you're talking about because you don't work in hardware.
Not only like where are you gonna put them, but not only where the fuck you're
getting the money from because your product doesn't even generate anywhere
close to that amount of money and you assume that AGI is gonna be real so it's
like okay so I guess you think all the money is gonna be worthless which
clearly is the vibe that you're approaching this with so what the fuck
huh I don't understand so it's so your bargaining chip is no bargaining chip
then when you do go there let's assume that that's just not a thing that deprecates okay let's just
assume that in a world which is you know where the cat is a cube or or a sphere we're going to like
assume that that's like that your your your bargaining chip your bargaining chip that's
unrealistic is real okay let's assume that and then we go over there and we go, okay, where are we going to put all those chips? First of all,
it's a lot of chips, right? And then on top of that, where are you going to get the energy? On
top of that, where are you going to get the workforce to even do that? And on top of that,
how are you going to do that within the next like four years? Because you're not gonna,
first of all, it's just not going to happen. Oh, and who's going to like, who's going to do that within the next like four years because you're not gonna first of all it's just not going to happen oh and and who's gonna like who's gonna make them tsmc has the ability to
make them but they're probably going to take four to five years to make them it's going to take you
approximately four to five years to install all of them it's probably going to also take you uh if
you want to like do that at the same time a whole bunch of years to try and get the power which by, by the way, most of the infrastructure is not suited for, you're going to need to basically create your new nuclear power plants.
At which point you have to kind of understand to yourself, imagine if you're in the US and you want to build up massive amounts of this, then you will need more power that doesn't exist.
And you probably want a nuclear power plant at some point because it's the best thing.
And if you don't have that, which you're not going to, then you're kind of fucked, which
is also why the US needs to get back into nuclear power, fission and fusion.
It needs to strike a deal with the fucking Chinese instead of pissing them off more so
that they can give you the goddamn fast reactors because you've got a of waste in your ground you may want to make use of that waste
and you can a fast reactor allows you to take the nuclear waste and make use of it again that's the
thing by the way like if if you like there's an interesting thing that like always confuses me
and that is that a history is not is not um is not clarified history is not clarified it's not
that history needs to be modified.
It needs to be clarified.
Because the problem is, we used to believe that nuclear waste is an actual problem.
It's not.
Right?
It used to be a problem.
Yes, it definitely was.
So we have salt mines full of tons of this stuff that is radiating away over the next millions of years.
That is a problem.
The thing is, today we have a solution for this this today we can take that same waste and use it
again via fast reactor so now that we don't have a problem actually so now
literally like all of that stuff it took us insane amounts to like mine this
right and so now we're just like reminding it effectively except with no
effort other than just logistical how the fuck do I take radiation stuff and Right? And so now we're just like, remining it effectively, except with no effort, other
than just logistical, how the fuck do I take radiation stuff and put it in somewhere where
radiation stuff doesn't like radiate to other places, and then take that radiation stuff
and put it inside the reactor again. So it's like, that's the only effort there, which
ironically enough is going to cost you less than mining it, I think. I mean, it depends,
depends, you know, but still pretty good.
Isn't that awesome? I think that's awesome. I think that's really fucking awesome. Like, this is a really cool time. Like, damn. But still, you know, you probably want to get to doing that.
If you want to have, like, you know, the world's biggest brain and tons of chips,
you probably want a better power source and, like, fuel and all that is not gonna be it i'm sorry
it's not like i i know that these things are great and they are really good at propelling forward last
like but you know it's not going to be the play just saying
You know, it's not going to be the play.
Just saying.
Showing the tower catch.
Explaining what they need to do.
We run it.
Right.
Well, they're not going to catch them this time, are they?
No, not this time, no.
I don't even know if we should make an edit.
I'm pretty sure we should.
But yeah, no chopstick catch today.
Because they'll be risking it.
They might risk destroying the site,
and it would cost at least 200 million to rebuild it,
plus a year, and it would delay all the other missions
yeah it's kind of funny um if you think about it that i was yesterday i was eating with chopsticks
but we had no chopsticks for those of you who didn't know i have a discord server and i was
like live on this live in the Discord server yesterday and I was eating
like these Korean noodles
like with chopsticks
on camera
just because I thought it was funny and I think
everybody else kind of enjoyed that a little bit too
yeah next time they do a chopstick catch you gotta
eat some noodles that day
actually
I'm gonna do sushi because you're gonna like pick up a series
of tubes
I'm gonna pick up a series of tubes. Oh, yeah.
We're gonna pick up a series of tubes.
That'll be fun.
Well, you know, like that guy says, you know, the internet is a series of tubes, and I was
like, technically the rocket is also a series of tubes, and I can pick them up.
Yeah, yeah.
Make sure you're not rocking sushi. And I was like, technically the rocket is also a series of tubes and I can pick them up.
My chopsticks, yoink.
Unfortunately, duty calls. I'm going to have to drop off, but I'll catch you guys later.
Have a good day.
No problem, man. See you around. Have a good day. Have a good day.
Bye.
Bye.
It sounds like the flight went well.
What's going on?
It sounds celebratory-ish.
The flight has not gone well yet.
You were just tuning into the beginning.
Did you just wake up?
I fell asleep at some point.
I was going to take a nap,
and then I woke up.
It was later than I expected. I was just holding on to wife. I was like i was gonna take a nap and then i woke up it was later than i expected
i was just holding on to wife and i was like oh apparently she arrived at some point
i remember her arriving and then i fell back asleep and then i was cozy and then i woke up so
what i missed nothing disgusting what did i miss? I think I fell asleep too.
Nothing.
Don't worry about it.
Is there still a planned fight?
Or did they...
It's still going.
On account of the fact that the space...
No, that's not accurate.
This space will always keep going.
But no, they're still on track.
Oh, good.
24 minutes.
Yeah.
As in
T-minus 24 minutes or
T-minus 24
minutes?
Bruh.
No, it's still T-minus.
No, it's T-minus 24 minutes.
It's 20-something seconds. Yeah it's still T-line. No, it's T-line. It's T-line. It's T-line. It's T-line. It's T-line. It's T-line.
It's T-line.
It's T-line.
It's T-line.
It's T-line.
Yeah.
Don't worry, dude.
Don't worry, dude.
Relax, relax.
Well, I mean, like, you know how sometimes they're like, we're going to watch in 20 minutes.
They're like, second thought.
Well, they do hold at 40 seconds a lot of the time, so that's probably going to happen,
but I don't know.
I have a good feeling, hopefully.
Yay.
I have good hopes for this one.
Because they're not catching this one,
right? They're just launching it, and I'm gone.
Yeah, basically what they're going to be doing is...
Well, you missed that part.
What they're going to be doing is they're going to splash down both of them.
As for the booster, they're going to bring that down in the Gulf of America.
They're going to bring it down with two thrusters instead of three,
just to kind of test whether or not this could work in a failure scenario.
Right?
And with the starship, which is going to be landing in the Indian Ocean,
they're going to try a little bit of a hover thing just to see if that works, and then let
that splash down, and then, I guess, retrieve it
at some point. So they're trying to figure out how to
fuck up the most gracefully,
correct? Yeah, exactly.
How to gracefully
unfuck the fuck up, basically.
That would be more accurate of a representation.
Gotcha.
It's like, hey, what if one of our Raptor engines fails?
What do?
You know?
Like, imagine you put a pirate.
What do?
It's like a 4chan post.
You know, this happened.
This both bad.
What do?
I love 4chan posts.
They're so good.
They're such high compression of data.
It's amazing.
It's like, I start, like, one of the things is i start speaking in x posts but also occasionally do the fucking 4chan
thing and it confuses the fuck out of everybody i like the what do expression is that all the time
yeah it's like what do
i give that to people sometimes like okay so this is messed up what do
I'm like wait what
like huh what do you mean
I don't think that sign off
will ever leave me
it's like always
what do whatever something happens
I'm like uh
what do
save me for a chance save me yes you are right my god. What do?
Save me for a chance.
Save me. Yes, you are right.
I should put my hard drive in the microwave.
Good idea.
Thanks, team.
Yeah, basically.
Dude, I ate so much yesterday
that I have like literally zero hunger
right now. It's crazy.
It was like three big meals.
I skipped a lot.
I had like four steaks.
I had like four steaks.
Ten, what was that?
Two cups of ice cream.
Okay, four steaks, two cups
ice cream. Well, kind of
three and a half steaks
actually because of the other basically four yeah um and then like a a a one liter tub of
korean noodles and soup look good it's like oh i i didn't even anticipate to eat that and I was like my robe was starting to like you know not fit properly anymore so much so saying they're doing
the whole thing man I am so full hey hey hey no i'm gonna send this meme
he hates so much his robe doesn't fit i don't even know what amount of food that would require
for me at least four live ch four chickens four whole chickens that'd be the minimum requirement
guys you know what's funny isabel is a speaker. She's in a plane right now
She might see something
She might be our best video
No, you look at the me my sense
i don't understand it's like i know it's funny like i know why it's funny it's because they
can only eat a certain amount of salami you know my cats only can eat a certain amount of salami
but they can and look at those pupils they're dialed in bro holy shit like that's max they really want that and so sometimes people they
say salami differently they just say slummy fucking i'm gonna post it it's so good i don't
i don't this is why i don't know what it is with me and these fucking cat memes look at the chest i'm a bee
why are the eye like oh wow
can i
cats
cats can have a little slummy
that's fucking good
he looks like
enjoying it
yeah enjoying it. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's so good.
You sound just like Yolo.
Here we go again. Yeah, dude, I know.
Yeah.
Yolo said that.
Yeah, I know.
It's a common thing.
It happens quite a lot. Don't worry about it.
We have comments.
They're saying abuse the rocket until it releases the PEZ.
PEZ dispenser.
Okay.
Oh my god, that cat is so cute it is yeah
I feel like when cats eat food they have like this particular aura of
don't fuck with me or I will completely destroy you type of thing
you know
which is why they also make those like sounds
which is hilarious if it's a kitten
yeah I know
where is that we would the wee
wee meme comes from like like have you ever seen a kid a little kitten just go
complete goblin mode over some tuna so cute it's just shake like that when
they're eating it's like so violent it's like this tiny little fucking thing and
then when you pick them up like like I've dealt with some really young ones.
Then when you pick them up, their belly's just completely full, like, expanded.
Oh, yes, it's a big one.
It's a big one.
They just poke you like, boop.
I don't know what it is, man.
They tend to stop doing that when they get older.
But when they're young, holy shit, they will fill up their bellies until it's like so noticeable I know I know especially with milk too right like in the beginning like if
you ever have like the kittens that young that's usually what it is like if I wanted to if I want
to hyper evolutionize a cat as I like to call it then what I do is I just take the kitten that looks
the most aesthetic take that one and like, feed him to the max
and make sure that they, like, do all the things that they need to do
in order to become the best cat, so to speak, right?
And then just, like, release him back out there into the wild
and then see what they do.
It's, like, so, again, like, my position on nature
is I just kind of accelerate it forward in some ways.
So it's like, hmm, you can't prevent the cats from, like, fighting each other,
so why don't you, like, bet on the strong ones?
So it's like, what if you take the cats that you want to have survive and just make them stronger?
And so then they end up, like, being on top anyways.
So you kind of do that.
And so you have the small fucking kittens, and you give them, like, milk.
And then their belly just expands so much, it's just like, it's like a sphere, man.
That's fun.
This is how we wind up with Australian wildcats.
Yes.
Ooh, that looks cool.
Also, why the fuck does everything we introduce to Australia just get fucking huge?
What's up with that?
Does that apply to humans?
Actual question.
I don't think so.
A little bit.
Look, a little bit.
Like, if you start exercising, you will become bigger.
Even if you've, like, reached your limit for growth, you will become bigger.
Yeah, but it's not like how we introduced rabbits to Australia,
and then they got, like, 20 times the fucking size,
or cats, which are, like, five times their normal fucking size out there.
Like, we introduced shit to Australia, and it just gets fucking huge interesting tech interesting you ever seen those australian rabbits they're massive
oh i've never seen them they are it's true they've also brought some to new zealand and they were a
huge fucking problem. Yeah.
Us humans are bringing shit places.
We're good at that.
Yeah.
It's a massive problem.
Hey, North America, have some smallpox.
What?
I mean, that one was
North and South America. That one was pretty much
intentional. South America especially.
That's how they defeated the Inca they actually gave them like blankets right yeah that
had the had the virus in them and they gave it to him so that they could
infect them and therefore weaken their forces and take him out which honestly
like they fought the Inca or like every level I'm not sure even if that was
intentional or unintentional but they completely mocked that civilization like
again I asked like okay you were so capable of creating all this like amazingly super advanced architecture
which would have you have quite a
considerable
Amount of understanding when it comes to engineering yet your weapons were like I throw a rock the fuck
What so anyways, you know that aside aside, that whole thing aside, that was
their thing. Their ultimate
weapon, so like, you know, for
Spanish, their ultimate weapon is
my viruses and
big kegs
of gunpowder that I can make
blow up. And the Mayans'
ultimate weapon was, here,
take this meth addict literally i'm not
kidding they had this thing where some of the warriors that they kind of like sent out there
almost like suicide bombers what they did was they like even they put them on every drug that they
had that would enhance their physical their physical like everything right they put them
on every fucking drug and then just sent them over the wall and of course you know the spaniards
be waiting there
and just fucking turned him into a fine red mist with their cannons, so...
Yeah, it turns out filling a guy with coffee and cocaine
doesn't really make him that formidable.
Just kind of makes a feel like he is.
I know.
That's basically what they did.
So, yeah, that was the Mayans' ultimate weapon there.
Oh my god. Yes. Yeah.
I can take on the world!
Shoot.
No, no, he cannot.
He seemed like he thought he could,
but we have guns.
Yeah.
That's kind of like where the
origin of this origin of like this
this this origin of white supremacists like that that whole notion the concept actually came out
of like you know fucking africa because like you need they see these people they come there that
look like aliens the same thing that you know happened to the mayans and they bring with them
all this like weird fucking technology like the weapons like boom sticks you know can you imagine
how weird it must be for a fucking
prairie man out of like africa to see for the first time this weird fucking stick and they like
here's here's this big animal that we take five hours to take down because they're persistence
hunters and that's how it's done and we spear them to slowly like you know make them die and then you
have this fucking gun that just takes them out in like one to two shots yeah bro you gotta
fucking look at that and go what the hell is this what sorcery is that big stick go boom what the
fuck yeah he pointed the magical stick at my friend and then my friend is dead i'm gonna run
away now exactly same thing same thing with like the buildings as well it's like hey they somehow figured out how to liquefy stone and turn that into like walls and shit what the fuck oh and
they somehow figured out to take water out of the river and redirect it through the pipe thing to
like end up inside of their house and they can turn it on and off when they want to and they
have this amazing thing which is like they can take light and make it appear in the evening but only when they want to.
What the fuck?
That's pretty much like the whole thing.
Oh yeah, no you did.
They introduced it later.
They introduced it later.
This is more like 20th century.
I think it was introduced by the... They introduced it later. This is more like 20th century.
I think it was introduced by the... Even with the bulbs, you didn't need that.
They had other means to create electrical light at the time.
I think there was one with graphite,
where you're effectively just short-circuiting it, kind of.
Just like on a light bulb?
It gets super hot.
No. Yeah, that's how incandescent light bulbs work it's just putting
electric current through a copper filament you can use other filaments
oh yeah that one yes yeah that was I was confused with LEDs for a second I was
like which which one do you mean yeah well then there's also the ones that use
gas but that's yeah it's a whole different thing.
We have, what, three, four different means of illumination?
Yeah, something like that.
Well, we're like six, seven.
We have a lot of bioluminescent ones, but those don't really count.
So, like glow sticks and shit. Yeah, bioluminescent.
It's not even bioluminescence, that's chemical luminescence.
Yes, which is kind of like a one-time thing.
Because we do capture fireflies, because fuck them.
Yeah, but can you turn them on and off, though?
Give it up,
it doesn't matter. They always do it.
They can't stop.
They see the other one, they're like, oh, I gotta respond.
Because they're bugs. they're not super smart.
It turns out.
Yes, sure.
Problem is, you can only turn them on and keep them on.
That's the problem with the fireflies.
You're going to commit a lot of bug genocide.
That's true.
When you smash them, they do stay on.
At least for a couple minutes.
Yeah, that's the problem.
So it's not a really good light source, is it?
Same thing with your
fucking glow sticks which is chemical luminescence right where it's like i it works for like
five minutes to five ten minutes fifteen maybe hey yeah some glow sticks are pretty good depends
on the depends on the volume the material you got 15 of peak light and then like eight hours of
light ish and then another 16 hours of, I think it split up,
and then after that, it's done.
Yeah.
What is this
picture?
It's like a bunch
of Optimus robots
on the fucking, like,
it's a bunch of Optimus robots on a steel beam,
just like that photo out of New York,
you know, when the steel workers
were constructing the buildings.
What the fuck?
Exactly.
I don't know what kind of steel they're using,
but that is hella thick. What the fuck?
What is that?
I mean, I get that they want to, like, save material,
which is why they have, like, the holes in the center there, right?
But, I mean, that is that they want to save material, which is why they have the holes in the center there, right? But, I mean, that is...
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but that is quite something.
If you assume that the average calf is approximately 5...
Like, 10...
10-15 centimeters thick.
That's like 5 centimeters of steel.
What the fuck are they planning?
For reference, the current construction,
they use what?
Maybe close to that, but it's larger.
It's way larger.
You're going to use that little skyscrapers, man.
Damn.
Even the stuff that like even
though the stuff that I use right here it's like fucking one centimeter thick
like beam steel beam you can't fuck that up really hard you put like a whole
bunch of stories on top of that you'd be good no oh my goodness
Oh my goodness.
They're saying they're going to build more launch pad. Oh, that's good.
I have like just a tiny amount of steak left over.
It's like a third of the steak.
I like these renderings.
They look really nice.
That looks Unreal Engine as fuck Yeah, something weird about the
Yeah, that is
Yeah, that is Unreal Engine
I don't know what they were using prior to that
But that shit was
Like what I just saw, that was Unreal Engine. 100%. Godf Ben.
I wonder if they've used Imagine to try to make some shit.
No. No. No. No. Absolutely impossible.
I think I recognize the way that the
reflection come off the waves
it's like also the fact that the waves are a little
too large because they
the coastline is just incorrectly rendered
but that's fine
those are just like physics nerd stuff
pretty cool though
because the visual looks really neat
they're saying
everything's looking good so far so
things are green it looks like minus five minutes
all systems go so to speak getting close to it very nice very very nice i love this cat so much
i just thought that jesus piece was trending and i was very upset to
discover that that was a rap group that broke up and not a Jesus themed one piece parody.
Damn.
That's wicked, man. That's wicked, bro.
That's wild.
Yeah, by the way, everybody
quote post the space with join the Starship Lounge. I'm going to call it that because I think it's wild. Yeah, by the way, everybody, quote post the space with
join the Starship Lounge.
I'm going to call it that because I think it's funny.
And it throws people off so it'd be like, hey, what is that?
So, uh, yeah.
So when does the big ship go zoom zoom boom boom?
Six minutes?
Four minutes?
Four twenty.
Dang.
No, four minutes.
My bad.
It was four twenty.
I asked just the right time!
He's just stretching like crazy.
Here I am.
Speaking of which, I should probably do more pull-ups on the fucking
big skill beam.
The problem is, the moment
I do that,
my aiming in video games
just goes to shit for somebody.
I don't know why. It's weird.
Oh, yeah.
My fingers are all, like, messed up.
I don't know why that is.
Well, you see,
the two sets of areas. I was watching
how you hold your mouse the other day.
If you do anything to the side of your thumb
or little finger, it's going to throw everything off.
Because you're like me.
You use those to anchor your positioning.
It's true.
And if your nerves get messed up from, like,
any kind of physical labor or anything,
it just fucks that up.
It does the same thing with guitar playing.
Yeah, like you said, you had something going on the other day with all the guitar.
Ironically enough, you can't actually exercise your hands if you want to do that at the same time, right?
No, you can. You just got to really adjust it.
Interesting.
My one time I burnt the outside of my little finger on my right hand from my mouse.
So instead of leaving my whole finger down, I would pivot to using just the tip.
I'd curl up my entire finger and then just pivot around the pinky, the fingertip of it.
Because I could still feel that
unlike the rest of my finger
interesting yeah i could still feel it but it wasn't the same you know
didn't have the same response but that may have been something i picked up from guitar too because
depending on what i'm doing sometimes my hands free position and other times i have my pinky like
up on the my bridge pickup like on the top right edge of that to keep my fingers anchored in place
so i can scoop my picking around wherever i need it to go and not lose track of which string I'm going for.
String skipping.
If I'm doing string skipping,
that's something I'll do just so I have a more
finite point of reference.
I love that cool fucking shot right there.
Look at that.
Yeah, bro.
One minute.
Yep.
Should be epic I love for like the broadcast they have comments turned off.
They didn't hold at 40, so we're going straight through.
Looks like 35.
Yep.
Let's go.
30 seconds.
Let's go.
Here we go. We're going to let our flight direct through Project Matura take us the rest of the way. 30 seconds.
10 seconds.
Here we go.
Hands back.
I'm watching it on X, so there's a long delay.
So I'm a little bit behind.
As am I.
Come on.
Come on. Let's go.
So 60. It's about 15 seconds behind.
Same. Nice. Light is proper.
Nice. Nice. Looking good.
Looking good. It's very clean so far.
Yeah, dude. that's beautiful.
I don't see any tiles coming off or anything.
Yeah.
It looks phenomenal.
It's a beautiful day as well.
The weather looks excellent.
Look at that shot of the, yeah, that's the raptors.
What do you call it when it's all funneled together?
That is a, that is known as a mock diamond or a shock diamond.
So like they're perfectly synced.
Normally this is what you see when an engine is properly optimized, like just one.
It happens for each and every single one of them.
But because of the way that they basically are able to have these engines work together in sync you can actually see this
happen for all of them at the same time where it's like you don't see any one of the engines have like
the mock diamond individually as much but like it's heavily pronounced for all of them together
what is that
i don't know that That looks cool, though.
Whatever that is.
Are you talking about
hitting the higher levels
of the atmosphere?
Yeah, it looks like.
We're going to hit max Q.
Maximum diamond.
Max stress on the vehicle.
After that.
That looks interesting.
As we mentioned earlier, the hot stage will be jettisoned for this flight and that should
Let me just.
occur just after the boost back burn.
So we're about to shut down the first stage and perform hot staging.
So let's just watch and listen.
Damn, that looks good.
That looks really solid.
Yeah, no hiccups or anything.
It's interesting, the angle
looks a little different this time around.
That looks like a
propellant lead, to be honest.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, no.
Yeah, that is probably propelling.
Can you see the engine start to throttle down?
They must know.
Maybe this is like one of the heat shields.
Miko.
Okay.
It's moving quick.
Ship ignition.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
It worked. Nice.
It looked like a leak, but no, I guess not.
Maybe that was just a... I wonder if they're still doing like high angle of attack, because last time they did
that with the booster.
You heard them report ship chamber pressure is nominal, so that chamber pressure, just
that expected thrust level in those Raptor engines on the ship three vacuum optimized
there's a view into the business end from the ship
is that the relight they're do no no that's something else
at this point we finished our boost back burn so that was shut down so that's the
the first of the two burns after a launch that the booster is going to do today so now it's
first of the two burns after a launch that the booster is going to do today.
So now it's headed towards the Gulf.
It's not going to be quite as an aggressive of a flight down.
We relax that angle of attack a little bit,
but we are then going to be looking for it to do its engine tests for the landing burn.
And those are going to be a little unique this time.
Yeah, typically we start with all 13 center inner engines lit for that landing burn and bring
that down to just the center three but one of our test objectives for today is to simulate what an
engine out situation would look like so we're going to be intentionally turning off one of those
center three and instead lighting one of the engines from the middle 10 ring yeah we did see
one of those engines in the middle ring shut down during the initial asset. Oh it looks like we have hot stage jettison you can
see it floating away there. Oh they were doing the search over here. They did that for
one of those middle engines shut down during the asset again we are resilient
to engine now on Super Heavy. We're able to get through our ascent.
Starship flying on the expected path.
There's still a chance that engine could be back in the mix for the very start of the landing burn,
so we'll see if we light up all 13.
But we've, I mean, we've even done a landing burn at the tower with an engine out, so very resilient.
We'll see how it does on its way down to the Gulf, though.
All right, so we've got a couple of minutes.
That landing burn start should be just about 40 seconds away.
That's always rad. see the The booster's dropping
The booster's clume itself in the background as it was coming in
That's beautiful, man
Yeah
Alright, about 20 seconds to landing burn
Do a landing burn?
Raptor chamber pressure is nominal.
Here it comes.
All right, here we go. It'll be the splashdown.
Looks like we got 12 of those 13.
Down to three, including one of the middle ring.
Damn, look at it, it's hovering.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is awesome.
That is fucking awesome.
I didn't know they were going to do that on the booster.
That is so fucking awesome.
Oh yeah.
Wow.
Damn, that is so fucking cool!
Amazing. Which you, just you.
And the booster.
That is so fucking cool. Oh my god.
That is so cool.
We're gonna fight for booster today.
They're keeping it in a balance up there. That's amazing.
Meanwhile, back in space.
Oh man. I was hoping to see some really confused whales or some shit.
That's a minute to today's really confused whales or some shit.
Oh no, you do not want to have that. Believe me.
circles and that little indicator on the bottom right of your screen those will shut down first
and we continue burning for a couple seconds longer on those inner three that's beautiful
seco second engine cut off that was beautiful man that was beautiful perfection i hope that
somebody caught that on camera i really hope that somebody caught that on camera like the
thanks to starlink for getting us these views. It's just incredible.
And we just heard the sound from Booster.
It's like we just got a late boom from the Booster.
How?
It's Chase. Bruh. We have ship engine cutoff coming up here just shortly.
And as we mentioned, today's flight test is not an orbital flight, but rather one that
demonstrates Starship's orbital capability.
Hasn't made it all the way to space.
It's only 148 kilometers up.
So it can still boom.
Under 30 seconds to go.
It happens.
It's just a funny sounding boom at that altitude
as it travels a little bit different through the air
than it does when you're about 100 kilometers closer.
Yeah.
All right, shut down the vacuum engines.
Ship engine cut off.
We shut down the center three.
Successful ship engine cut off.
Seiko, baby. There we go. ship engine cutoff.
Seiko baby, here we go. That's what we want. Nominal orbital insertion. Alright, we just heard the call-out for nominal orbital insertion.
Nice.
I like when the cameras are...
It's one of my favorite words, nominal orbital insertion.
Alright, so ship is in space.
It's just so good.
I don't know why.
There we go.
We're seeing the flaps.
It sounds like space.
To move her to a stowed position.
That's why it looks like your camera's moving.
Yeah, exciting to see Starship safely in space
and super pumped to see all the team's hard work
and action here today.
And of course, as guaranteed,
it's been an exciting day so far.
We successfully lifted off right on time at 6.30 p.m. Central Time.
Thankfully, our weather was looking good today.
Yeah, and Booster, we had our soft splashdown in the Gulf.
So ship continues on.
Yeah, ship able to complete its ascent burn all the way in
you can see some of the shadows start to creep as it's going to be eventually flying into an orbital nighttime so we'll see some daylight start to go away uh but ship
i mean that's just the beginning now we've got a whole bunch more to go.
So we've got some exciting demonstrations planned while we're on orbit.
That right there, we just saved the FTS, the flight termination system.
That's that automatic flight safety system we have on the vehicle.
So that is now turned off while ship starts its coast period.
We are coming up, our next milestone is going to be the deployment of those Starlink simulators.
We've got some payload inside of Starship that we're hoping to deploy into space for
the very first time.
That deploy is supposed to start at about 18 minutes and 20 seconds.
This will be your Starlink satellite simulation, basically. Just about 18 minutes and this will be your starling satellite simulation basically just about seven minutes from now that deploy will take
place over a couple of minutes it'll it'll go about one satellite a minute
so we'll be spread out over that dark but I'll use that we can show you to see
that deploy in action after that we're also looking to do a relight of a single Raptor
engine while we are in space.
We've done this once before.
They reinforced it.
Look at that. Do you see the bolts?
But this is essentially a chance
to test out what we need
to be able to do a de-order.
I think what's coming off the ship is ice.
And that was probably not ice
looking to get that light show more importantly get that really critical
data I mean if you look at the outside night it's probably just five minutes
we'll be having more reentry again running those experiments with the tiles
we're gonna be doing missing tiles
metallic tiles and also intentionally loading those vehicles flaps um hopefully we'll also see
a splashdown in the indian ocean today yeah we were able to get to a re-entry last time but we
didn't have full attitude control so we weren't able to go in. They could not control that attitude.
It had too much attitude to be handled. So we ended up losing contact with the ship before we could make it all the way through.
And the attitude was, you spin me right around, baby, right around really fast.
You're not really getting the data.
We want to make sure we're kind of stress testing the vehicle.
As Amanda just said, we removed a bunch of tiles.
And we do this in some intentionally scary places on the vehicle because we're really looking, are there spots that were vulnerable to this?
Yeah, so that just looks like ice.
If you look at the outside of that, that just looks like ice that's coming off of it because of all the propellant.
To then do reentries a little bit later on.
So really, really critical to get that data really looking forward to a controlled reentry.
Yeah, for sure.
As we always say, our main payload is data.
But today we also have some actual payload on board and those simulators that Starship
will be deploying.
We'll see coming up here in just a few minutes.
These are dummy satellites that are about the same size as our V3 Starlinks.
We have eight in the Starship PEZ dispenser
and expect to deploy at a rate of about one per minute,
as Dan mentioned earlier.
Starlink is critical in all of our flights on Starship
to get our main payload data, as we always say.
And in fact, it's Starlink that's currently providing these views
you see as Starship cruises a couple hundred kilometers
above our home planet
and provides
real-time telemetry through every phase of flight. Yeah we took a peek inside of the Starship payload
bay there for a second so there's eight of them there they kind of look just big steel plates
essentially they're roughly the same size as those V3 satellites. When we do get that view inside of the payload bay the
the payload door will kind of be on your right and we'll start to see them go out
like a Pez dispenser yeah here's a look inside so those are full of power there
in the center they're kind of two steps what did you say those are full of Pez
is that what he's saying yeah basically the basically. The PEZ is a fake Starling sat.
So I want you to, like, yeah,
it's basically a giant PEZ dispenser.
Instead of satellite, it's candy!
Yeah, instead of candy, this time it's a satellite.
But it's not even a satellite. It's a thing that looks and is shaped
like a satellite.
But instead it's made of candy, right?
Basically too high for the actuator
of the door to open.
That's why we weren't able to get the door open that time.
We have not seen anything like that on this flight.
Everything's looking good with our fuel tank and our fuel press system.
So we are hopefully just a couple of minutes away from seeing that payload door open
and getting to our first ever payload.
It's not the first payload we've ever carried, but's the first one we're gonna try and shoot off into space
that looks cool I don't know what's happening in there but it's kind of like
it's charging up for an attack oh yeah by the way that stuff that you see there
that's like moisture and air all that stuff you actually get you will likely
see density.
We opened the door once.
I want to say it was back on flight three
when we were able to make it up into space.
You'll probably see a lot of that gas rushing out into the vacuum of space.
It kind of sits up there.
After we've already vented it down.
So kind of a cool light show.
And then we'll get ready to deploy those payloads. after we've already vented it down. So kind of a cool light show.
And then we'll get ready to deploy those payloads.
There's actually a time where there was a bit of gas
that was still left inside of the,
like there was when that door opened up
and you could see the density for like change.
So it was this really cool lensing effect that you saw,
where like the light was warped.
That was so fucking epic.
And as we mentioned, so we have crossed over now at this point into an orbital nighttime so
views from the outside will get pretty dark um but we'll see what we can see we do this
we do this by design we've been launching these uh later in the day here in Texas to try and get daytime views when we splash down.
So it's daytime over in the Indian Ocean, where we are currently headed.
Neat.
Just a few seconds until we expect those payload doors to...
Just gotta semi-circumnavigate the Earth real quick.
BRB.
Alright, one more time.
BRB guys, just gotta go to the other side of the world
Don't worry about it
Exactly, yeah
Yeah
Get that shit out of there
Fuck them rocket innards and all that gas look at all
Dragon Ball Z charging up your attack kind of open up that door get it all out
of there so we are currently in payload deploy prep
and the door is open
the door is open
all right so the payload door is open. We should see the first satellite start to deploy at about T plus 18 minutes and 27 seconds.
So it should be only about 30 seconds.
So one step closer, Hal listened this time.
He cooperated.
He opened the payload door for us.
There's a view kind of behind the Pez here looking
out into the vacuum of
space.
About 15 seconds until payload deploy.
... I think it just jettisoned its thingies.
It did not blow its load.
It was just buffering things. It didn't blow its load.
Deep cut.
What else has the spaceship gonna do?
It's really gonna blow its load.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, it's releasing it.
It's releasing it.
Yep.
Yep.
One is coming out.
One's coming out.
One's coming out.
It seems kind of stuck.
Is it being pushed out all the way? It's stuck.
Is it being pushed out all the way? You might.
Wait, so it's pushing it out.
There we go.
Okay, that's pushing it out.
It's pushing it out it's pushing it up there goes another one all right it's working nice excellent look at that look
at that look at that fucking yay littering
moment as you can hear the energy of both authorthorne and Starbase, everyone's super excited for finally getting to deploy some of those simulated satellites.
That was beautiful.
And there's something right down.
Look at that.
There we go.
As we said, we're going to do about one every minute or so.
And this is just kind of a dress rehearsal for when we're going to be deploying the V3 satellites.
And these are just a massive, massive increase to Starlink's capability.
Each one of them has 60 terabits per second of capacity that's going to get added to the network per launch.
That's 20 times more than what we're adding
with every single Falcon 9
launch today, which, you know,
step increasing capability.
There goes another one.
This is the most
applause I have ever heard for literally
in my life.
It's scientific literally, but it is still literally.
All right, so as we said, we've got eight total that we're going to go through today.
It's about a minute for each one, but looking good on the deploy. it is fun to watch it just yeet them into space. Get out of here.
Dude, they're yeeting them out.
This is epic.
So eventually you're probably going to see that the entire length of the shaft here is going to be filled full of these Starlink satellites.
And they're going to be able to deploy way more than 24 each.
That's beautiful. It's going'll take a while to deploy them all
excuse me all right so we're about halfway through when we actually start launching the v3 starlinks
on on starship we're going to be flying about 60 each time. So it'll be about...
Damn!
See?
60 each time.
It's just going to be...
60, 60 SAT per launch.
That is up like, what are they doing?
They're doing current like 24?
That's like...
That's like two and a half.
That's like roughly about two and a half launches right there.
Yeah absolutely, always getting us that data. Actually a little bit more than half, but yeah,
that's like two and a half like rocket launchers with Falcon. But like as one rocket. Like we
discussed yesterday, it's like yeah, this is pretty good, 60, man. 60, that's crazy. How deep does it go? All right, another one firing out.
Let's do some research while I was doing the stream. Yeah. It's looking smooth today.
Yeah. It's going well.
Nice one.
Hmm. I wonder if they have somebody controlling it or if the whole thing is just automated.
I would assume automated.
Yeah, I would assume automated, but maybe since it's like a test machine, I would have
also a remote option.
They deployed them a little low to avoid them becoming like space debris.
Yeah, there you go. One remaining. So seven of the eight have been deployed. One more to go.
Does that mean they will fall?
Yeah. Same. They're gonna fall this like thing so it's temporary littering
yeah but if they are
basically i make sure that these things which is effectively space junk actually burns up so that
it doesn't end up being junk in space, which is what can cause...
I'm not sure...
How many people are familiar with the Kessler Syndrome?
Does anybody know what that is?
Nope.
It's like this chain reaction of fucked up events where what happens is you'll have
so much space junk that you can't actually go anywhere, and that eventually what ends
up happening is that if one part of that space junk collides with a bunch of other stuff in space,
then that whole thing will then create a whole bunch of more space junk,
to the point where there will be so much junk in space,
that literally all the space infrastructure will be pelted by the junk that just keeps getting created as the stuff.
It's like a whole chain reaction.
Just imagine nuclear fission, but with infrastructure in space,
and that the
infrastructure is being pulled apart into like very small little chunks and then that is just
like you know kind of orbiting all around the earth destroying fucking everything so yeah just
want to avoid that as much as possible yeah well what's really best now?
Will it eventually form a ring?
You know like Saturn and all them other things? Do the centrifugal force, the rotation, the gravitational pull?
That seems like a basic calculation that would prevent that from happening.
If at all, it would happen in an unacceptably large time frame.
We get about 120 megabits per second.
That's split between our high definition video
and real-time telemetry we get that every phase of flight including re-entry so it's not just
giving us views of re-entry but we're getting all of that engineering data in real time through
phases that it used to be impossible to get that in real time so just really incredible yeah starlink
dot com he affords us all this capability and reminders the world's largest satellite constellations but he just said was an
accurate but okay I speed low latency how'd you know this provides internet
because it's not a matter of whether or not you can get it it's a matter of data
pipeline it was possible to get that but they were prioritizing other data interesting
to meet the growing global demand for high-speed internet spacex expanded its
back so why the didn't he say that and also
probably because it's very technical and not actually
information that most people would parse the way
people have dealt with network code would, it's just more...
I mean, the way...
...to say we couldn't get it before.
Right.
Technically, we couldn't get it because we had more important information to get.
Yeah, so the video is a luxury.
Followed by atmospheric entry, hell of a light show.
So basically, what you're saying is, we now have more pipelines open,
and before we couldn't get it, because
we only had a single pipeline, and that single pipeline
is not reserved for the luxury of viewing what the fuck
is going on, but actually being able to know
what is going on via data. Yes?
Pretty much yes. The fuck, why couldn't they just
say that?
This sounds really fucking easy, I don't understand.
Well, it took him like
one second to say his thing and it took like 30 seconds for us to get through
our spiel so it makes sense true but then again you're gonna have like you
know five minutes of music so I mean they are comments that they are
literally just sports commentators but for the stuff for the starship right like
all of those people actually have a history of being like sports
commentators, at least most of them do.
Right.
So like, if you get a commentator, you may as well, I guess.
Yeah.
Then again, they are doing a better job at this than like we are when it
comes to like the data part, because they have access to more data than we do.
So we just kind of go tangentially off the thing.
So like while music is happening, for instance, we're just like having this
discussion, like a very meta commentary it's like okay you get adrian
didman meta commentary adrian didman and vera meta commentary as like the the starship is floating
around up there and you get to view the inside of like the empty starship right now after deployment
i like the fact that it put a light bulb there and like a bunch of other lights so you can actually
see what's going on it's nice oh you're
just like your brother aren't you you've seen this headset for an approximately four seconds
damn it it took his brother milner's brother like four seconds to decide oh headset cable
i want this i want this so. It's like his fucking brother.
They both will just not leave this cable alone.
Something about the braiding drives them wild.
What are those tanks?
Do you see those black tanks that are on the left side of the rocket?
There's like sets of three.
There are two of those sets, and they look like tanks for something. Actually, no, sorry, there are sets of
three, and there are four of those sets. See? Because it's like, they're not that long. So do
you see like, you know, on the left side, they're separated by, like, this insulated tube-looking stuff
that seems to be connecting to the base of the ship.
Are those tanks or are those arms?
Those look like tanks.
I mean, look, they're round.
What I'm talking about, you're on the same one I'm talking about, right?
That's what you're talking about.
Yeah.
It could also be a nematic lift
because those are also round yes that's what i meant by arms like sorry
i don't know if those are like be but things that they use for like separating cargo in there i don't
know what the inside of that region's like that's the
stuff that the car is that new I have no idea I honestly haven't watched the last
time when we saw the banana I think the last time when we saw the banana that
wasn't like in there was it it's interesting to see how the starship is
it's interesting to see how the starship is like reinforced from the inside look
at that you see like the the pieces of metal, the stripes?
Mhm.
It's really neat.
It could be nitrogen gas or something like that.
Yeah, for what purpose?
Liquid oxygen.
Yeah, it's EOPV.
It's cooling.
Hang on, let me figure that shit out.
It's cooling.
I don't know bruh.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know bruh Okay, let me just figure this out.
For a second, I thought they were about to start playing like funk music, which would
have been really bass to be honest.
Yep, yep.
I think you can see the music on this. Easy, easy to do. That looks pretty neat though.
What is this current shot of?
That is the bottom where the dispenser is resting.
Huh.
It looks so different back then. And this current shot right now...
Yeah.
This shot right now is the outside.
And I think that is the flap.
Looks flappy.
I don't know.
Darkness.
Nighttime.
Looks cool.
Now we're just like hearing electric- electro music, so that's- that's really good.
Yep. I'll just hear 166. if i was the director i'd be totally putting in the soundtrack from 2001 a space odyssey
yes yeah dude have a little no not not just that but like have a little uh
you know they did have that they did have that before you know they did use some
classical music before which I think gave it a given an extra flavor remember
last time they like use jazz music was like the first time they did the coasting
right they have the jazz music which is so fucking good space music everybody
was talking about that that was really beautiful they should bring that back man gives them character you know oh the cantina music from Star Wars that too
cheesy too cheesy funny but a little too cheesy
just have that on tap in case it blows up for some reason. Bruh. Hey, it brings up
it's a mood
fixer, you know?
People would be so confused, like, what?
What just happened?
Exactly. Imagine, like, you're a journalist
and you're trying to, like, write a spin on this, and that's, like,
the first thing. It's like this.
What do you do at that point?
You just sit there and go, what?
What am I listening to? Is this a planned explosion?
It feels like a planned explosion.
Yeah.
And then, you know, you mitigate
the bad press. That looks like plasma, doesn't it?
There it is.
Yep, that's plasma.
Looks like it.
See, they're hitting a few pockets
right now, it seems. The altitude is low enough is it not they're getting hit by the aurora borealis nah that is
the thing i think it's solar wind right that's That's what causes that. That's what that phenomenon is called.
Oh boy, the Royalis?
But this here is not it. No, that is just the rocket hitting the pockets really, really fucking hard.
And the air, as a result, heating up to a point of a plasma, because there's that much...
Yeah.
Yeah, it is moving pretty quick.
So when it hits that pocket,
then basically you get that point.
So yeah, we're getting closer to where the atmosphere
is now, I guess.
Yeah, the pocket's going,
friction!
Yeah, it's just kind of like up there,
there's a little bit of gas,
and then just the starship comes in.
It's basically violently intersecting the air.
It stands real hard.
Yeah.
Probably like, I don't know, 26,000 kilometers per hour?
Is that 6 or 8?
6,500 is per hour? Is that 6 or an 8? 6,500. That's the current speed here.
If I were to what?
So it's basically Sonic booming its way through every air.
Multiple times, I don't know.
They're expecting the relight, so they're doing that relight.
Look at that. You can start seeing the plasma
and you're gonna see the real light happening soon the repositioning is definitely adding
right that explains it. We've done this once before.
The deorbit burns.
We're doing orbital missions.
It's a pretty critical test.
We are just a couple of seconds away.
Wow.
Wow, notification sound.
Sorry, we're about 20 seconds away.
So we got a little bit more time.
So we are going to see one of those Raptor engines.
The engines are moving a little bit.
Oh, there we go.
Shut down. Oh, there we go.
Nice. Looks like it was successful, yeah?
Alright, looks like we confirmed the relight of one of those center raptor engines.
Second time we've done that, super exciting.
Huge congrats to the team on this milestone
It was fun watching the other
Engines go oh fuck you can move out of the way
Yeah, be really critical for
No one wants to blow let's get the fuck out of the way
Basically
Of always demonstrating this with a fucking lighter.
Those buckets are the Starship lighter.
No, they didn't buy them. I'm not sure if they're limited there.
Very exciting.
We're going to be heading back for re-entry at about T-plus 45 minutes.
So we're going to take another quick break and we will see you soon.
Six more minutes until the reentry.
Okay, so they're taking a break.
That's amazing.
And see, here's where I would put in the intermission music from Monty Python.
Why not, You know?
I do like the professional tone. I do like the professional tone,
though. It's pretty good.
There's some humor one
could add in, for sure, but the professional tone
is quite neat for this one, I would say.
It's doing quite well.
You've worked with me. You know exactly how professional my tone gets at peak professionalism.
It comes out in very small bursts at best.
Yes.
That's why we do consultations, like your mic is muted most of the time and you come in with these bangers.
Oh, hello, did you think of this? No? Okay.
And it just goes back and is gone for like 10 minutes.
And it's like talking, talking, nugget for like 30 seconds.
And then the other is like, oh, interesting.
Person readjusts their positioning, does like the 10 minute cycle, and you just come in with the nuggets each time.
And I'm just trying to like get more data out of them
so that you can start working with that.
It's a pretty good dynamic.
Yeah.
Like I do the interrogation thing.
Vera does the analysis like,
hey, we're going to give you like this thing.
And then LawyerCat does the PR stuff.
Basically.
Which kind of helps me, because sometimes I just really, really want to troll so hard
when I hear something that I really know is unrealistic.
And it's like, I have to just shut up, because I have to know better, you know?
I can feel it.
I can feel it, and I'm just like, ah, he's holding himself back
something fierce
nothing personal to the
nothing personal to the people or anything
it's just, you know, like
sometimes you get things about
we get asked about AI stuff and it's like, oh boy
AI stuff specifically where it's like
just about rappers and such where it's like, I mean, look, you don't have to sell us on the wrapper idea.
You have to sell your people on that. We can build you the infrastructure at best, but we don't care about the wrapper.
We don't care about the AI. We already know what the AI can do.
We care about like how exactly you want to turn that into something.
So it's like if you want to create a wrapper, we can help you with that.
But we can't guarantee you the functions. The AI actually we're going to tell you that here's the problems with this
specific system that you're going to be using how we're going to run into that and then when we get
like feedback that tries to defend the ai then i'm just like okay i need to shut up now before
controlling comes out and that's when synthetica comes in he's really good at that yeah yeah he's
really nice professional about it honestly like it puts me to shame, dude.
I will say.
He's our professional element.
Yes, yes, yes.
Like, with us, you'll get the realism.
But if we're too realism, you know?
We're blunt realism.
Yes.
It's kind of how we operate.
I can be professional.
My professional is like,
a wise man wants you when to not say anything.
So it's like, that would be,
oh, hey, Andre is here.
I just noticed that.
I checked the space because it was like,
fucking.
And the one day I had a call i could have missed the rock that was starship launches successfully the door opens you got the starlink deployment you booked a consultation didn't you
uh did you i'm pretty sure i just had a call a call i worked oh that call that's what i was like
wait did you yeah this is super fucking cool it is by the way it's kind of crazy when it shows
the payload door it's kind of you i mean they shows the payload area from the camera inside
you can fit a tesla semi in there and it'll still have a lot of space
the tesla semi is what six seven meters in length so two more meters around it
6 30 6 meters 30 centimeters so two and a half more meters around it that's a massive payload
They did say somewhere. It can be 180 satellites fit in there.
yeah
What was the number that I said?
On Starship? Really?
That was two and a half times what they were currently doing which was 24
which is 60. yeah but these satellites are massive that's why it's like each yeah yeah so that's why
that's why i'm saying tesla semi in terms of like not like vertically but like horizontally it'll
just sit there on the like the same way the satellites were flat Tesla
semi will sit there and still have space in front and behind it that's
impressive
looks like we got a reentry activity with the flaps cool by the way yeah
the hardware looks so clean
on this one
what I found
is really interesting is look at the reinforcement
do you see that right there where the flap is attached
there's something there
exactly where it burned
where it burned last time
that wasn't there before
even if you look at the reinforcement that kind of branches out like a radially also they seem
to be holding quite well like look at the plasma right there dude that is fucking good
that's what i mean like compared to the previous ones this feels like a generation up you know
it's the same one second generation like. Like, this is remarkable. Oh, the tile is falling apart.
It might have been planned.
It's the same thing that happened, like, with...
It might have been planned, because they had a few that were loose.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're trying, like, a few places as well.
We're about to start barreling through the Earth's atmosphere and head first.
That flap here looks plan to recover the spacecraft today
but if we do make it all the way down to the water who knows but the goal of this part of the flight
is to learn as much as we can about the ship's heat shield a fully reusable rapidly reusable
heat shield for a spacecraft has never been done before.
It's one of the hardest engineering challenges still out there for us.
And so this is a time to really dig in and get that data.
Yeah, absolutely.
And reentry is a critical phase of flight.
So we'll need information on how the ship's system ends up performing.
And Starlink will also help us gather as much data as possible, which is...
By the way, Andrew, did you catch the hover?
No, I did not.
I'll look up the SpaceX video that I saw.
What about it?
Well, it was basically, wasn't it just like
that they were doing this with two engines
instead of three, wasn't it?
Yeah, two engines.
So two engines instead of three, and they just, it, two engines. So two engines instead of three,
and they just, it was just hovering there,
like the booster, because they splashed it down
in the Gulf,
and so they just let it hover there
for a good three, four seconds,
and then let it splash.
It was real fucking cool looking.
It was so awesome.
I'm looking at it right now.
Yeah, I thought that usually they do two engines.
Look at all the debris there.
Woo!
That's a blow.
Something just blew up.
Hold on, but what was there?
Attitude.
What's the attitude look like?
Still looks...
It's getting out of control now.
It looks fine for now.
I'm surprised it's still flying.
That's cool.
We've removed a bunch of tiles
and kind of critical places across the
vehicle. So seeing stuff like that is still valuable to us. We are trying to kind of push
this vehicle to the limits to learn what its limits are as we design our next version of
Starship. So 47 minutes, 45 seconds into the flight. Excitement ticking up a little bit on re-entry already, but the light show is continuing.
This re-entry is going to take about 20 minutes or so until our plans splashdown.
We were trying to splashdown about one hour and six minutes into the flight.
It's almost like they're aiming for a 69 minute video
am i wrong rapid reusability i don't know we're gonna splash down at one hour and six minutes
about three three minutes of wrap-up commentary i'm guessing
all right so at this point the flaps have control that means we're getting into a dense enough part of the atmosphere that the flaps can start controlling us. We're not only reliant on those kind of reaction control system thrusters.
entry max heating and entry max Q.
That will mean the ship has made it through the maximum
heating and aerodynamic loads it will experience as it returns.
So if it makes it through those,
you could say we're doing pretty well.
I will say I'm happy re-entry cleaned off this camera for us.
It was a little dirty from the weather.
So glad for giving us this view as we start coming down.
Breaking.
Yeah, this is beautiful.
It looks like the skirt's lining pop.
I got two different pieces of metal, but there's nothing there.
That explains it.
Yeah, so they left off a few tiles of the skirt.
That's why it ruptured, likely.
Yeah.
I think it's two different parts.
It looks like the inner layer of the metal
popped out, like, popped.
Based on the pictures before and after.
What is that?
Um, the gas is evaporating from the core of it.
Like the cooling gas.
Aw dude, look at the heat! Look at that heat, man.
So those get gas.
This gas is protected from plasma. So we have daylight and sun should actually come up over the horizon of the starship in about three minutes.
It's kind of interesting.
It's like, when the starship comes down and they have the metal, right?
Like, how does one assure that the metal is actually still usable, properly usable?
Because the stresses will change a little bit because you're heating it and then letting it cool off again?
And that flap is getting torched.
Look at that.
Oh, look at that. It's melting.
Dude, look at that. Did you see? Look at that.
Oh, dude.
I mean, this is not what's supposed to happen, but it still looks pretty damn interesting.
Yeah, but it's better than that other time, the flap notes in it, it still survives through...
Oh yeah, that was impressive, yeah.
That was it.
I mean, it's still attached, right? It's still attached.
Yeah.
You gotta be all optimistic about this.
It looks like there's an inner part to the skirt that ripped.
Yeah.
It's still hanging around.
It's just a little floppy.
It's fine.
Yeah.
That's probably the part that's uncovered, maybe.
Funny that I was yesterday talking about floppiness that one can't control.
His synchronicities are hitting again.
They just wanted to give it a couple more
flops, guys.
Yeah, the real flops were pre-mined
long ago.
What did you say, RJ?
The flight was going
too perfect for everything you've done, so
they needed some kind of, like, those things
to mess up a bit to know where to
fix next.
Oh, wow, look at that. What the fuck?
I think they strategically detached
some of the pieces so they'd be able to collect
more relevant information.
Yes, that they did.
Yeah, the uncovered one, I think, got damaged.
Most likely.
I don't think they would survive.
We're about ten minutes until we're
probably going to start hearing some of the other big milestones coming up.
Yep, in about 10 minutes, like Dan said, Starship will be transonic.
This is going to be the period of flight where the velocities of airflow...
Transonic. Interesting.
...are concurrently below and above the speed of sound.
Does that mean the spaceship is going to turn into Sonic the Hedgehog? concurrently below and above the speed of sound.
Does that mean the spaceship is going to turn into Sonic the Hedgehog?
I mean, it's kind of doing that right now,
I'm not going to lie.
Look at the Earth.
I don't think that's the Earth.
That is just the plasma.
Oh, you can see the movement of the clouds or whatever.
Oh shit, that is yours.
Yeah, it's
day right now. That looks fucking cool.
Morning, I mean, what am I saying?
It's day in Australia. It's true.
Yes.
Damn, bro, that is
a picture right there, man.
One of the other things we're doing
during this, and you're going to see kind of pitch in some pretty, not extreme ways, but a little extreme.
I think to really stress the discussion.
Spheroid haters will say this is fake.
Spheroid haters.
Just grok and I did this we are I mean we are pushing it beyond essentially what we think
we'll have to fly at to do something like I do look at the reflection on the flap there it looks
so epic may not be very smooth right yeah I am amazed by the camera.
There's literally no damage to the camera and it feels like it's right on the edge of the flat.
It's true.
Because it moved with it.
Yeah.
Aw, look at those clouds, man.
That is a fucking...
That is a money shot.
Transonic and then subsonic.
Once we hit subsonic, we're basically just belly flopping.
It's actually amazing to see how long it's holding out.
I'll hold my tongue on that one.
I know what you're thinking.
I know what you're thinking.
I'm thinking it too.
Okay?
Don't know.
That is a muddy shot right there.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, boy.
Chaos agents that work, eh?
Pretty much.
Mm-hmm.
Damn, look at that.
Some beautiful weather down there.
I should know.
Pretty close by it.
All right, so about 55 and a half minutes in, you can see the sun is up.
Again, we intentionally designed these flights to lift off in the evening here
so we get these daylight views so we can get as good a video as possible on the ship,
assuming we make it all the way down.
We've got at least one buoy powered by starlink that's out there
in the landing zone in the indian ocean hopefully giving us a view again if you see any live views
uh not from the ship itself that means we nailed our landing target this past peak eating
all right we just heard the call out that we're past peak eating so
things are looking good so far looking good
It kind of looks like it's still heading right to the trail again the flaps are controlling
So this movement you're seeing is that forward flap
moving to try and
Just maintain maintain control maintain attitude of the of the vehicle as we're coming down. Checking in on one of our flaps.
Oh boy, that flap is...
Dude, look at how it's glowing there, man.
That is crazy.
Amazing.
Dude, if they actually make it all the way down properly, then...
Because the attitude controls look pretty good right now.
I'm confused. Controls looking pretty good right now. As you're coming in, you can see that indicator at the very bottom right.
It's supposed to land before Australia, right?
Not after.
It's not the Indian Ocean, right?
That depends on which rotation you're coming from.
That corner.
Looks like we got a little bit of burn from The very bottom part of it.
Everything's still looking good.
Maintaining control.
Wait.
I'm just sending you one of the dumbest jokes I've ever written.
I know.
I know.
That's what I was like.
I was like, what? What the?
What did they mean by this?
Dude, look at the flap, man.
Look at how that's actually just like molten.
I mean, it looks cool.
Let's just say that.
It does look pretty cool. I think it's coming off. Chunks of it are coming off, yeah. I think it it looks cool. Let's just say that. It does look pretty cool.
I think it's coming off.
Chunks of it are coming off, yeah.
I think it was coming off.
The man does it look cool.
A little bit toasty on the F skirt.
Toasty's the word, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good word for it.
Yeah.
How would you describe this piece of metal?
Toasty.
Yeah.
Or in my case, critical.
Man, look at how that's like I
Think parts of it are stuck to the ship now to look at that
48 49 down to 48 kilometers in altitude
especially that transonic
This is like the first time we're seeing the plasma like this with the daytime clouds behind it.
Like, that is beautiful.
Such a beautiful shot, look at that. A lot of forward momentum, a lot of forward velocity.
Wow.
And then eventually by the time we hit sub-sonic...
Alright, here we go. So this is what we've been talking about.
That is so much deceleration.
We're going to try to fully deploy those aft flaps and really stress them out.
So again, this is meant to test the extremes for the vehicle.
Oh, yeah.
They're testing something.
Well, that was a cool camera transition.
Ooh.
Ooh, that's toasted right there. Look. Dude, that's, yeah, that's toasted right there.
Look, burnt, burnt.
Dude, swim.
All right.
They're just wiggling it.
They're literally wiggling the ship.
Flaps swinging out.
Again, we are going to ship through the wringer
on this flight end.
Put it through the wiggle maneuver.
Two tiles down.
Wiggle.
Wiggling intensifies.
Yes, wiggling intensifies.
We're still maintaining
control.
Man, this flap is perfect.
It is.
It is. Look at that.
It's pristine almost, man.
It's better when you get your heat-treated AK.
Flaps earning their paycheck today.
Ha ha ha ha.
What the announcer, bro?
Things looking good so far.
We're about two minutes out now from Starship becoming transonic.
Wait, you said the flop is perfect.
And they just said it's pristine.
That's an old shot, though.
No, it's not.
This is all current.
This is all current.
So we had kind of scaled back the number of tiles significantly
as when we go to catch these ships, you don't want to,
I think as Elon said, you don't want to shuck the ship as you catch it
and knock all those tiles off.
So we knew we were going to have to kind of peel back that layer a little bit.
And the first time we did it was on Flight 6,
and we saw kind of wrinkling and dimples almost in the ship as we were creating
these hot spots in the uneven
parts of the heat shield.
We tried that on Flight 6.
We kind of addressed that. We smoothed it out.
That's why you've got that nice smooth out
black line now.
Looking at it, we can see
kind of a little bit of hot spot,
a little bit of warping almost
near the payload. You can see a little bit of colored patina up above of warping almost near the payload you can see a little bit
of colored patina up above it but we don't see those kind of deep uh almost they almost look
like gouges on that so it looks like that's that's been pretty successful so all right we are less
than a minute away from hitting Transonic.
Again, pretty soon our forward velocity is going to look like it's kind of falling off a cliff,
and Starship will look like it's falling off a cliff as we essentially... Our belly flop, if you watch.
He's not rocked.
Yeah, it's going to be very cartoonish looking, yeah.
Yeah, this shot is from five minutes ago. It's a to be very cartoonish looking. Yeah, this shot
is from five miles away.
No, this is current.
Can this thing actually fly?
All the shots are current.
We're able to prove that out with that suborbital campaign.
Yeah, it's current.
That's what we're about to see shortly.
It's just a couple hundred kilometers
away from going, oh, for fuck's sake,
and then going very much
downward instead of forward. Yeah. couple hundred kilometers away from going for fuck's sake and then going very much downward
instead of forward. Yeah.
Things in space
look very cartoonish when they start falling.
Yeah, they do.
Very stable.
I'm honestly surprised that they've made it this far.
Yeah.
Looks like we're going to have to I'm honestly surprised that they made it this far. Yeah.
Looks like we're going to have to. We got some work to do.
Edit after this, man.
All right.
So at this point, I don't know the speed of sound.
So hmm.
Starship is like indentation is some warping.
You mean from the heat, because like the stress started to chill
the engines for a landing burn attempt. Warping you mean from the heat? Cause like the stress is over metal.
Here we go.
Man, look at that fucking... Look at that color.
Subsonic Indian Ocean, we're on our way.
Delicious.
Here we go.
Wow, look at that.
Airwell space.
Slightly toasted.
Everything in perspective.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Look at the floppiness at the other end of this.
Vigorously floppy over there, bro.
They're still moving it.
They're still moving it.
And that would be
the velocity.
Alright.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Moment of truth.
Two of our
engines chilled in, waiting on one more.
Seven kilometers altitude.
Look, they're using two different flaps.
The flaps are different from each other.
Look at this one here.
It doesn't have that same part to it.
Also, the mechanism
looks wildly different this time around.
There should be two sets, right?
One halfway up and one at the bottom.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, shit, look at that.
Oh, the cameras.
Dude, look at the micro-adjustments.
Yummy.
Those cameras will have taken a little bit of a
coating.
Yeah.
It's fine.
I'm not sure it's the other one.
The starship is no longer
accelerating so much as
falling. Yes.
This is the belly flop maneuver.
This is very controlled floppiness. Dude, this is actually cool. Look. This is very controlled floppy.
This is actually cool. Look at how far it's making it look for the flip.
So Starships doing its belly flop right now. We're gonna do the flip swing out.
Yeah, the flip is gonna happen right there as we pass the second cloud line.
One kilometer and right about oh dude look at the waves. It's nice and windy down there.
Yep, they're flipping it down there yep second cloud line
i hope it works man i really hope it works i really hope it works
okay it's flipping it's working it's working it's working and it's hovering! Wow! Wow!
Yeah!
That is a fucking money shot!
Nice!
Nice!
Dude, that camera imagines must be having one hell of a time down there with that big-ass
explosion.
Oh yeah! that is fantastic man
they
wow that's insane
they achieved all their goals basically for today
I wasn't sure he was gonna hover
I thought it was like
that was pretty awesome
incredible flight to the end
for both ship and booster I'm waiting to see if this ends in a minute and 45 seconds.
Tyler, how's it going over in Hawthorne?
You're super excited here in Hawthorne.
It was another exciting Starship flight test of the books, and we hope you enjoyed those Starlink views.
So congratulations to the team at Starbase and everyone here and around the company
so many employees I'll take my timer away
how dare you thank you to everyone for tuning in today it was great being with
you today back to you guys.
Wow. That was absolutely incredible.
Huge congrats to all the teams.
Well, looks like we got to get to work, man.
We got to get to work.
We got to get to work.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, man.
That was crazy.
That was beautiful.
That was absolutely beautiful man.
Booster came back down, had that boost back burn and a successful landing burn with that
unique engine configuration as well.
And then ship continued on its way, made it all the way into space. We got to see
first ever payload deploy. So exciting. That was awesome. We got the door open,
eight Starlink simulators deployed, relit that Raptor engine and then on entry
We probably gave it a little bit of extra time in the oven but made it all the way through re-entry
Splash down in the Indian Ocean
Promised maximum excitement starship delivered so definitely congratulations all of our teammates here at
spacex it's been a year everybody that's worked on this program this is what we're working for so
big congrats to all of them thank you to all of our future customers too for your support and we'd
also like to thank the fine people of cameron county including the residents of its newest
city starbase as well as the Coast Guard the Federal Aviation Administration the government of Mexico and the Australian Space Agency be sure
to stay tuned to SpaceX on X for updates more of the views this is just a tiny
amount of the views we have so many views that we didn't get the feature of
the broadcast so we're gonna be going through that over the next couple days
and we'll be posting so many views. So many views. We have the best views. If you're interested in more launch coverage, head on over to Spendorf.
They do.
They actually do.
More of the most up-to-date information.
Yeah.
They actually do.
It's an amazing tech.
Featuring our upcoming launches with details like mission name, launch and landing site, and liftoff time.
So be sure to check it out.
All right.
We just launched the world's biggest rocket.
Again, dropped a couple satellites off, suborbital.
Incredible payload deploy for today.
Nailed that double header, end of the ocean, splashdown, time to go through the data.
Really crazy cool to hit all those objectives today.
Yeah, huge shout out to all the teams who make this look easy.
And thanks to all of you for tuning in, and we will see you back here for Flight 11.
Good night.
Wow, that was incredible. It was flawless. That was perfect. That was quite simply perfect. Thanks to all of you for tuning in and we will see you back here for flight 11. Good night.
Wow.
That was incredible.
It was flawless.
That was perfect.
That was quite simply perfect.
That was quite simply perfect.
Great to see a bit of a comeback here.
Absolutely.
Excellent.
Well,
it looks like we got some work to do.
I got to hit up the music guy and see what he's got cooking up.
Then we got to like collate a whole bunch of clips over the next couple of days and then turn that into a fucking starship edit everybody.
Yeah. So that's going to be coming out soon we're going to like uh have that released
uh probably before the end of the conversation we got like i got a whole bunch of stuff that i
got going on so the starship edit's going to come out like probably you know like a maybe maybe four
four days five days whatever we got going on. Depends, really, really, really depends on what it is that we got going on
and when the clips are going to come out because SpaceX has got the most HD footage.
So, yeah, we're going to see what happens.
Check this out, Adrian.
Check out the super cool, check out the tons that I carried.
Oh, I was just cleaning up everything.
Oh, what's that?
Hold on. It's the craziest look of the heat shield.
I think it's still there.
Andre.
Yeah, that looks...
Damn.
Shuttle external tank vibes yeah
so yeah
that's pretty solid
actually so
what we're gonna do is
yeah so I'll take all of that
and I'll edit that
we're gonna do a whole bunch of stuff
yeah eventually we're probably gonna do a whole bunch of stuff.
Yeah, eventually.
We're probably going to do that on Discord as well.
I'll see if I can get my guy in.
We're probably going to make some really cool shit happen.
Super epic.
Are you all excited for the new edit?
You guys excited for the new edit?
That's going to come out? Because we're going to make something.
We're going to make something.
Yep.
People are excited in the chat.
Yep, I see people responding to that. Yep, there we go.
Good shit.
They're excited.
Coming soon, Cloud Money Shot
by Adrian Dittman and crew.
What?
That's a good one, actually.
You should keep that for a future thing.
That's really a Cloud Money Shot.
That reminds me of that meme.
Shadow Wizard Money Gang.
Something like that.
No, no, no, no.
Was it that?
I think it was that, you know.
Shadow Wizard Money Gang.
We love casting spells.
This song is brought to you by the Shadow Government.
The Shadow... the shadow government. So I like, I don't know what would happen if I were to post that this post is
brought to you by the shadow government.
Like that's going to scare so many people.
But by the way, guys, I kind of, I kind of missed this, but do you guys realize that it landed exactly
on target? I mean, the buoy camera was going. Yes, yes. And then the cameraman down there
to like, you know, check it out. Yeah, I mean, like it was fully, the camera was fully aligned,
everything and landed exactly where it's supposed to be within what, 10 meters after traveling
more than halfway around there? and precision yeah gotta be precise
yeah it's always impressive like this is like a religious experience for me yeah i'm i couldn't
tell honestly that was impressive yeah they exceeded the mission expectations i'm sure because yeah they got
extra testing in on the way on the descent and everything pretty cool but i missed something
guys maybe i have to watch it again when they deployed the satellites i missed that part
it was did that work everything worked basically
yeah all eight of them flawless at the beginning there the beginning, there was a little hiccup for a second, and then boom, they started doing it.
Like in the videos, like the pest dispenser?
Yeah, the pest dispenser.
Oh my god, Fira!
One every minute, basically.
They do one every minute. I wonder if they're gonna speed that up at some point?
Oh my god.
Oh, that was amazing!
Sorry, you just sent me an excellent DM.
You're like, let me, let me, like...
Here, Bladis, this is what you just sent me.
Let's do this, then. I'm never going to see that acronym the same way again after this.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Okay. Thanks. You're welcome. Oh, goodness.
Oh, that's good.
That's incredible tech.
Acronyms are about kryptonite when it comes to having a cohesive
conversation, but when it comes to making
up new meanings for those acronyms,
oh boy.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Anytime anybody throws an acronym at me, my brain's like,
all right, acronym roulette, what we got?
Exactly.
Neuer, check, check, check, uh, uh, discord DMs.
What?
I need more of you.
That was beautiful. I don't know, man. I could have never thought of you. That was beautiful.
I don't know, man.
I could have never thought of that.
That was incredible.
I wish I could show people this, but it's just the world's not ready for that.
You guys have to earn it.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Anyways, back to topic.
Damn. Absolute future that is man that that was incredible anyways kind of back kind of back to topic but yeah we're gonna we're gonna turn that into an edit real soon
yeah it's gonna be great
i'm gonna have to hit up my music guy and we're gonna make some songs
and then we're gonna see whether or not that
sounds pretty sounds pretty good yeah i do wonder if he needs some samples
i think he's got something ready like he was talking about something last time that he already
had but i don't know he might be a bit more busy than usual because like he's uh his model changed
His model changed a fair bit because ads on X don't work as well as he used to.
So, yeah.
Right, right.
It's a thing.
Well, I think that was it, guys.
Third time's a charm, as it would seem.
That's literally all right.
Any other?
No, yeah.
Look at my group chat, what someone just said about you.
We love casting spells.
Of course it's a cat.
This guy annoys me.
This guy annoys me to be a knock on eye.
Do you want him gone, Adrian?
What?
I said do you want him gone? No? Hm? What? I said, do you want him gone?
No, no.
Okay, good.
Every group needs a punching bag.
I didn't hear what you said.
Also, sometimes it's just productive to be annoyed.
It motivates you to find better ways to destroy this person you hate. It's true. It's true.
I'm not annoyed. Who said I'm not annoyed?
Somehow really vehemently dislike me on top of that, and I just kind of keep it there.
Because I'm like, hey, this is funny.
It tests you whether or not you have the ability.
Maybe I just go to shit.
Nope, it's still there.
Okay.
Dustin, can you guys still hear me?
Yep.
No, I guess not.
Hi, Ken.
Can you hear Blythe?
Now we're back.
Can you hear us?
Yeah, we hear you.
Yeah, my internet collapsed.
That happens sometimes.
I just love it when the output stays up but the download goes away.
Yes, exactly.
So then everybody else can hear you be like,
what the fuck is going on?
Yeah, that's still in my brain.
Yeah, that's all going my brain. Yeah, that's all good. I'm in your time soon.
I had a meme for this, but I think it's fine.
Yeah, now you're turning into me.
Yeah, she's turning into the Alex Jones thing.
No, she's turning into me because it's like, I always say, oh, I have a meme for this.
Like, when I'm in a group chat, it's like like just the most insane shit's gonna happen
like just total chaos and we're all in a group call and it's it's like i sit there somebody
tells me that something's going on i'm like oh interesting goes in there and that says i look
at the chaos i'm like oh i have a meme for this and i just like drop in the most ridiculous nonsense
ever and it just kind of
happens to fit perfectly.
And then whenever somebody comes up with something else,
I just come up with another meme. I just have, like,
endless amounts of memes.
Amazing.
I could apply that to
posts, but not many posts on my timeline
are, like, that have that much
of a meme potential anymore on top of the... The stuff that I are like that have that much of meme potential anymore on
top of the like it's like the stuff that i find doesn't have that much mean potential because
it's kind of like we're entering a period of stagnation where you are like this is what
happens when you enter into the q4 section of the year you know like q q q q q q q q is all about the q 4 parts being the most memetic and if you can't make that happen
it's been kind of like a boring year of prep which means if you have a boring year the next
year after that would have to be insane right so like 2026 for instance is going to be full-on
memetic warfare like that's all i'm going to say 2026 is gonna be fucking insane like this year was just was not
even like was it was not as ridiculous as 2024 not even close it almost felt like 2023 in a sense
right but even less than that it felt like the most normal year that we've had in a very long
period of time but more so like a calm before the storm, because a lot of promises were made, and almost none of them are kept.
Now, a bit of normalcy has returned in some ways, you know, there's not as much political
pressure, while there's more political pressure in other regions, it's kind of like weird
what has happened, it's like we're entering this age of like, you know, where the truth
of stuff comes out at the same time, and now we're actually starting to see how ugly things
really look like for the first time.
And where the previous, like the previous positionings just kind of shift around.
And now everybody, if you were to take somebody from like today's positioning and put them into the past,
then that was like to be seen as a lib, even though like supposedly they were right.
And like all that shit's going to happen.
So you're going to see refactoring of all positions
to the point where there will be so much confusion
that nobody cares about anything other than the economy,
which is the only thing you should be caring about, right?
Because everything else is fake.
Politics is not real, it's a fake religion,
which is heathen, like heathenistic in a sense.
Like, I don't like that, I hate politics.
It's just a fake religion.
This is disgusting.
But that's the thing. So
since this entire year was all about like confronting the reality of the situation,
in a sense, 2026 is going to be a continuation of that, but it's going to be more insane because
we're going to start to see aspects of that reality, which needs to be confronted,
aspects of that reality which needs which needs to be confronted which are very ugly and so
we're going to see what that looks like um but yeah so like at the moment nothing much happening
it's kind of like a we're kind of stagnant we're in a stagnant period so things need to be wilder
towards the end of the year that then eventually slips into, you know, the crazy period, which is
then 2026. And then after that, maybe a stable period again. I don't think there will ever be
a year as crazy as 2024. Like that was, that was P crazy. I think like it was just insane. Even
like the crossover from 24 to 25 was just insane. Like up that was just wild yeah really everything after
that was kind of boring not gonna lie i thought the terror shenanigans kind of fun
yeah but that was like nothing man that was just undone in like three days
it was a kerfuffle like then he had the then he had the Iran thing where
everybody was like you know going against each other there and I was just
okay now I guess we have to learn about Middle Eastern history and everybody's
gonna like talk about that so like we were there my like period with India and
Pakistan were like yeah I mean they do that a lot but it was a little bit more
than usual this year yeah yeah and then Trump had to step in
then everybody like started to dislike Trump because they just like where the articles were
all about sympathies like oh you gotta be careful otherwise mutually like mutually destroy one
another and then everybody in the west was like no fuck it we don't care about these guys are like
bro what the fuck the same thing with the meteorite remember when they wanted to like try all those
like they wanted to pre-mine all of those scenarios,
like each and every single one of them,
and just everybody just not cared about it.
That's when they stopped doing it. Have you noticed that like all that shit just fell off the cliff
and they didn't attempt anything like that again afterwards?
Because if you did, they were just like,
you would show how little everybody actually cares about this shit.
So you just had to stay at that.
When they found out that the asteroid might hit China,
they stopped caring about it.
Yes.
Yeah.
Because they saw the probability,
the cone of uncertainty as to where it was going to land,
and it was densest around the India part.
They were like, oh, no, we're actually fine with the asteroid now.
I'm like, bruh.
That was crazy.
That was a wicked pre-mine
yeah
it was always those regions
it felt like a test if anything
it felt like a test on whether or not people actually cared
and I think that the sentiment around
these regions of the world
is taking a turn for the worse
like
a lot
and mind you by the way, i will say this now it's actually
going to get a lot worse like you're going to see sentiment for those regions of the planet
go down dramatically over the next like over the next three or four years it's going to be insane
maybe even the years after that especially the years after that because right now you're going
to see slowing down of that a little bit right but some of the some of these regions
it's like it's not gonna slow down it's actually gonna get faster and worse so
you get to see a lot more of that ironically enough the ones who are gonna
come out on top of all of this I would predict it's probably just gonna be
China and most of the Asian subparts because they they they did one thing
successfully that they've
been telling everybody about for decades now, and that would be seizing the means of production.
They did that successfully.
It's finished.
And now the U.S. wants its production back, but they don't know how.
wants its production back but they don't know how
why don't we just produce it you could produce production right I mean if they
were serious about like bringing production back they would put it put
Jared Isaacman in the position right for like NASA you know that's what they
would do.
But they wouldn't be doing that.
So, damn.
By the way, is this still working?
Because the space interface just said reconnecting?
Okay, good.
It glitched for me for a second.
I was wondering if it's on my side.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just internet funkiness.
Periscope does not like it when you make the connection look unstable.
No, it does not.
It's very finicky.
It just decides, oh yeah, we're going to close it randomly now.
Like, what the f- why?
We were done.
That's why.
It's just like, you were done.
You weren't using that anymore, right?
I was like, no, you weren't using it anymore.
That's it like but
wait a minute nah no arguments i don't know we saw that you weren't using it so fuck you
exactly
yeah
wicked absolutely wicked i do love the launch here where you got to see two towers, right? Because you see the first
tower where it was launching and the second tower
in the background. I felt that was nice.
That was really cool looking.
It's neat. That was really, really neat.
It was neat.
I really liked the pink plasma. That was dope.
Yeah.
You watched the previous
launches, did you not?
No, not really.
I only caught the ends of them, which were real fun.
I gotta lie.
Bruh.
It's a very fucking Kimball-coded arc
take right here.
I mean,
I don't know. I like uncontrolled explosions.
They're cool.
I mean, those seem very controlled. I mean, the events't know. I like uncontrolled explosions. They're cool. I mean, those seem very controlled.
I mean, the events at which they were
occurred, which are like, you know.
The ones today were controlled.
The ones the last couple times.
Not so much.
They were controlled-ish.
Controlled with an assisk, if you will.
Yeah, because
the unpredicted falling is
a problem, so to prevent that
from occurring, you just basically say
you know, fuck that, and then boom.
But to be fair, there's a large difference between going
we're going to catch that explosion
and we're going to drop that explosion in the
Indian Ocean.
Yeah, it's true.
One of these is much easier to pull off.
It's true.
I think they may attempt a catch
on the third or second
times.
Alright. Excellent. all right excellent it's been the most amount of spaces that we've done like all week four weeks like it's pretty nice to kind of do the daily ones again like we used to do with
the conversation like we said back in a sense right but yeah maybe that's going to come back if i cause another incident then. Maybe that's going to come back if I cause another
incident, then yeah, maybe that's going to come
back where you do that a little bit.
But right now, incidents don't seem
to be occurring. Literally nobody is doing
anything. I'm like, this is so cool!
It's like, there's so much stability.
It's crazy.
So yeah, we're going to see
what happens
next.
So, yeah.
Beautiful.
In unrelated news, I have my computer now.
Nice.
We could probably do some haloing soon.
All right.
Okay, if anybody out there has any like really good looking footage that they themselves have
recorded off of the Starship landing, not the Starship landing, but like the Starship launching
and the booster landing, if you got those two, they look very very cool, better than SpaceX's
even, please do send those to us, put them as a reply on any one of my posts, preferably
of course the one where I was asking for that, so you can go in my timeline, scroll
down a little bit, and you shall see the posts where it's like, hey, if anyone's taking
any videos of the Starship launch, reply with them on this post. We'll use them in an upcoming
edit. Credits will be given, of course. So if any one of you has recorded that, you have something really cool, then yes, please
do send that. It's going to be epic. It's going to be nice.
Right. I think that's it. We're done here. I think. Yeah. Epic launch. This was really,
really, really nice.
Perfect launch.
Next level.
And fun, team.
As I say, throw time is a charm.
So now we're going to have to get to work.
I'm going to hit up my music guy.
Thanks everyone for coming.
I'll also be...
By the way, can you throw up the link?
Yeah.
Thank you, Adrian.
Because I'm going to be doing the edit live
when it does come through.
Yeah, I'm going to do it live on my server.
Yes.
Alright.
On stages, I think.
We're going to do it on stages, maybe.
Nah, nah, we'll do it in the premium section.
Add shared a spaceship.
Do it again.
Okay.
Hit it down again.
Alright, there we go. Now I can see it.
Alright, so I'm going to be doing editing
in there once we get all the clips together.
Once we have that all collated, so
you can kind of see what we're doing and how we do the work.
So, yeah.
We'll see how we'll do that exactly.
But, yeah.
Should be pretty fun.
Alright, thanks everybody for coming.
See y'all, I guess, during the weekend.
I'll post my space for the conversation
in a bit and then we'll have
that scheduled. So yeah
next time you'll see me on a space we'll
be probably on a weekend.
Yeah.
Bye bye.
Excellent. Alright see y'all.
Have a good day. Have a good day.
