WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:17.000
Byproducts of Go, you see like a big cloud forming there on the ground.

00:17.000 --> 00:19.360
That's basically where that is right now.

00:19.360 --> 00:22.120
So, Shielddown is really underway.

00:22.120 --> 00:26.440
You can even see the box fan vent really, really going.

00:26.440 --> 00:29.920
So we're going to get some shift area in testing.

00:29.920 --> 00:36.880
To say, last night it looks like we got a spin prime. Today could be a guider test

00:36.880 --> 00:42.400
if it falls in the footsteps of booster 19 or if SpaceX is feeling a little

00:42.400 --> 00:48.040
ambitious they may do a single-ended static fire. Again we will have to wait

00:48.040 --> 00:54.760
and see. There is no indication on what test they're going to do at all.

00:54.760 --> 00:59.200
There are zero indications. All we know is they will prop load it and

00:59.200 --> 01:03.500
And that's it. What happens after that is what happens.

01:03.500 --> 01:09.400
So that's kind of the thing is, in the past we could determine what it was based off the prop load.

01:09.400 --> 01:13.500
It looks like for block 3, they choose the same prop load for every test.

01:13.500 --> 01:16.600
So it makes it really hard to determine what they're going to do.

01:16.600 --> 01:18.400
You just have to wait and see what they're going to do.

01:18.400 --> 01:20.900
So I think that kind of makes it more exciting.

01:20.900 --> 01:22.500
You know?

01:22.500 --> 01:24.500
Well, what's going to happen?

01:24.500 --> 01:28.900
Yeah, dude, I'm in. It's like watching a thriller.

01:28.900 --> 01:31.700
It's great. What a twist, right?

01:31.700 --> 01:32.900
What a twist.

01:32.900 --> 01:38.660
And then, all right, dude, so if you're popping in on Twitch over there, we sent these streams

01:38.660 --> 01:43.220
directly over to Twitch. So if you're over in the Twitch chat, you got questions? Well,

01:43.220 --> 01:48.740
fire away, dudes. It's over on my Twitch stream, right? So we're double casting over

01:48.740 --> 01:52.500
there. I'm just saying this for the people that just saw a live notification suddenly

01:52.500 --> 01:56.100
for the stream on Twitch and like, wait, what's going on? I am hosting some

01:56.100 --> 02:03.380
Tank watching coverage here for NSF. You got questions? Ask us. We're here. I got Ryan and Alex with me

02:04.020 --> 02:10.740
arguably a cornucopia of knowledge. Sorry, I know it's silent, but anyway,

02:11.860 --> 02:15.140
a virtual corner, a plethora of plentiful

02:17.060 --> 02:21.700
intellect or I don't know. I don't know man. I'm tired. Yeah, so

02:21.700 --> 02:26.900
So yeah, if you're wondering what's going on over there, I'm hosting a cast here.

02:26.900 --> 02:29.060
Once again, YouTube chat, stay where you are.

02:29.060 --> 02:30.060
We're just doing the same thing.

02:30.060 --> 02:31.980
I just wanted to make clear everybody in over there.

02:31.980 --> 02:33.140
Tell us what's going on.

02:33.140 --> 02:35.460
Tell you guys what's going on.

02:35.460 --> 02:39.140
It's been an interesting couple of days, but yeah, here I am.

02:39.140 --> 02:40.140
What do we got right?

02:40.140 --> 02:42.420
There's the methane reclaim vent running.

02:42.420 --> 02:44.220
There you go.

02:44.220 --> 02:50.540
Now the problem is, is I did not have the time to look back last night at

02:50.540 --> 02:56.780
the timings. So I don't know the exact timings and we only have one data point on when the

02:56.780 --> 03:06.780
methane reclaim vent starts to prop load and I think it's an hour or 45 minutes. I think

03:06.780 --> 03:11.740
I'd have to go back and look. I'd have to go look at our pole or whatever like that

03:11.740 --> 03:18.820
but we're learning the timings of the new tank farm together here. So I know where

03:18.820 --> 03:22.220
events are and I know where the locations of everything is but as for

03:22.220 --> 03:28.060
timings and everything you know we're just kind of figuring it out together. So...

03:32.180 --> 03:37.540
Yeah baby yeah so once again we're like you said we're still figuring out those

03:37.540 --> 03:41.300
timings but we definitely see some action over there. Now Ryan you were

03:41.300 --> 03:47.220
saying like a box fan we what what is that is it actually like I mean obviously

03:47.220 --> 03:50.220
It's not like the box van that you go and buy from the Dollar Store, right?

03:50.220 --> 03:53.220
What is the box van in itself?

03:53.220 --> 04:02.220
Basically, it's a tall, rectangular box with two incredibly large industrial fans at the bottom.

04:02.220 --> 04:05.220
There's one at Massey's, there's one at the launch site.

04:05.220 --> 04:08.220
There's going to be ones over at the other pads as well.

04:08.220 --> 04:16.140
Basically, they're taking the LN2 exhaust off the subcoolers as well as the locks exhaust

04:16.140 --> 04:20.580
off the like the chill down for the the locks pumps and whatnot.

04:20.580 --> 04:27.540
They're routing it into this box, this rectangle, and when those fans are on, it draws in

04:27.540 --> 04:32.260
a bunch of air and then that air gets pulled in and goes up and through the box fan

04:32.260 --> 04:34.140
or through the box.

04:34.140 --> 04:39.940
And basically you're taking that exhaust and just diluting it with air and dumping

04:39.940 --> 04:44.260
it out into the atmosphere rather than trying to dump it out of the ground because concrete

04:44.260 --> 04:46.780
usually doesn't like like little cold liquids.

04:46.780 --> 04:52.780
So that box fan is in lack of like a percolation pond or something, something to dump the

04:52.780 --> 04:54.860
open loop system for cooling, right?

04:54.860 --> 04:55.860
Yeah, basically.

04:55.860 --> 04:56.860
Okay.

04:56.860 --> 04:58.360
Yeah, probably.

04:58.360 --> 05:03.340
Forever back on pad one when they had that blast wall and all those exhaust ports

05:03.340 --> 05:08.060
off of the locks, sub coolers, and they would just dump it out into the, we had the grass

05:08.060 --> 05:10.620
fit and they just dumped it out into the wetlands.

05:10.620 --> 05:11.620
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:11.620 --> 05:17.060
Yeah, basically they're taking all that exhaust, checking it into a box and introducing a bunch

05:17.060 --> 05:19.340
of air to dilute it out.

05:19.340 --> 05:20.460
That's basically what they're doing now.

05:20.460 --> 05:26.900
They're doing that at launch site and here and they should be done at 39 and at 37

05:26.900 --> 05:28.660
as well for those tank farms.

05:28.660 --> 05:34.820
So it's literally, the LN2 even has smaller little fans as well.

05:34.820 --> 05:39.900
So they basically do it just to get rid of the, just to introduce that.

05:39.900 --> 05:43.760
Now the methane side doesn't have a fan.

05:43.760 --> 05:52.620
It has a pressure regulated, it's got an exhaust vent for its subcooler with a couple of different

05:52.620 --> 05:56.460
valves to be able to regulate the pressure of the LN2 coming out of it.

05:56.460 --> 06:03.180
so that they can better, it's easier for them to regulate the temperature of, and speaking

06:03.180 --> 06:07.940
of the methane subcooler vent all the way on the left side there.

06:07.940 --> 06:14.580
You see that lower vent there, that's the methane subcooler vent, next to that one is

06:14.580 --> 06:20.100
the methane reclaimed vent, and the one all the way on the right is the box fan vent.

06:20.100 --> 06:24.020
And then if you see some clouds in the middle, that's their lockspond next to

06:24.020 --> 06:26.100
the ramp.

06:26.100 --> 06:33.860
Basically they are able to control the pressure out of that to be able to control the temperature at which they want to keep

06:33.860 --> 06:37.900
The methane at when they sub cool it so that's why it's not a fan

06:37.900 --> 06:40.940
But it's a set of valves so they can control the pressure a little bit better

06:41.500 --> 06:45.620
So that's your modulation is key. Yes

06:46.740 --> 06:50.580
Fantastic right guys if you once again you we're just chilling here

06:50.940 --> 06:52.600
We're waiting for some action here

06:52.600 --> 06:56.600
You guys won't talk about anything starship related just tag out as NSF

06:56.880 --> 07:01.360
Simultaneously over on twitch just tag at me. I'll see the questions. I keep up with both chats

07:01.360 --> 07:07.120
That's my it's my job as a twitch streamer before everything you got you get make sure you don't get those f's in the chat

07:07.120 --> 07:11.480
You know what I mean? How do you do fellow kids now? I've been doing this from doing this for a long time

07:11.480 --> 07:13.480
So ask us questions here. We're here

07:14.280 --> 07:18.920
I got Alex and Ryan with with me fit very very knowledgeable will

07:18.920 --> 07:20.080
uh...

07:20.080 --> 07:22.840
uh... you know they started posting us in twitsch

07:22.840 --> 07:23.920
all right

07:23.920 --> 07:24.480
cool

07:24.480 --> 07:27.960
uh... so you to chat if you want to talk to me on the you know i'm here

07:27.960 --> 07:31.360
here

07:31.360 --> 07:32.680
okay

07:32.680 --> 07:38.880
only let me just want to do some questions you see see we got uh...

07:38.880 --> 07:42.280
okay patrick space studio this is a question that chris had teed up alex

07:42.280 --> 07:44.080
i'm gonna throw this one over to you

07:44.080 --> 07:47.480
so what are the chances that starship will make it to the moon i'm gonna

07:47.480 --> 07:51.160
guess that's a little bit contextual to a conversation right like is it gonna make

07:51.160 --> 07:55.120
it in time do you think it's gonna make it in time

07:59.640 --> 08:06.040
okay you know how I am with the timeline I ever I ever seen that was the

08:06.040 --> 08:12.040
one that's all I needed to hear yeah in terms of timelines I don't think it's

08:12.040 --> 08:19.180
going to make it a timeline. But you know, the chances I start here will make it to the

08:19.180 --> 08:26.120
moon. Yeah, one, probability of one here. 100%, right? Because one way or another at

08:26.120 --> 08:29.600
some point, it'll do it. I just don't think it'll-

08:29.600 --> 08:30.600
Oh, whoa!

08:30.600 --> 08:31.600
Look at that!

08:31.600 --> 08:35.600
Oh, with the booster on? What?

08:35.600 --> 08:36.600
What is happening?

08:36.600 --> 08:37.600
Water Dalian? She's on the top deck?

08:37.600 --> 08:40.760
It just did the top deck Dalian with the booster on top.

08:40.760 --> 08:48.460
I thought it was like a replay or something and no, it's it's I know I literally glance back at the

08:48.460 --> 08:55.320
Yeah, very that is I literally glance back and I saw the pressure of the daylight

08:55.320 --> 08:58.540
Activate I'm like wait what's going on and then the top just goes

08:59.320 --> 09:05.680
Whoa, so guys that's a body that system is there to prevent sound from

09:05.680 --> 09:10.120
I'm reverbing off the pad when the booster takes off and it also protects the pad from

09:10.120 --> 09:13.440
getting actually obliterated by 33 Raptors.

09:13.440 --> 09:17.280
They just cleaned off the frost, look at that.

09:17.280 --> 09:23.800
Wow dude, generally guys that you don't see, you shouldn't really do that when your rocket

09:23.800 --> 09:30.000
is still attached but I mean, I don't think SpaceX cares.

09:30.000 --> 09:31.000
Rocket wash?

09:31.000 --> 09:33.320
Just wash it, it's just a rinse.

09:33.320 --> 09:46.280
a rinse with really dirty, rusty water.

09:46.280 --> 09:53.960
All the nozzles on that top deck are pointing outwards like they were on the plate for pad

09:53.960 --> 09:54.960
1.

09:54.960 --> 10:00.360
So in theory, none of that water should have touched the booster, or at least not much of

10:00.360 --> 10:01.600
it.

10:01.600 --> 10:03.600
So it should have all just gone outwards.

10:03.600 --> 10:08.680
Now, granted, a lot of it may have spilled down onto the clamps and maybe spilled onto

10:08.680 --> 10:13.800
the engines and everything like that when the thing shuts off and whatnot.

10:13.800 --> 10:17.960
But other than that, actually hitting the booster with a high pressure, it wouldn't

10:17.960 --> 10:19.800
do that because it's all facing away.

10:19.800 --> 10:22.080
Can we show the south view, please?

10:22.080 --> 10:28.400
I know, Jay, I'm sort of backseat producing here, but I think that it actually took

10:28.400 --> 10:29.920
a bit of the frost off.

10:29.920 --> 10:31.920
Yeah, it definitely did

10:31.920 --> 10:35.920
So once again fellas that system that activates post lift-off

10:35.920 --> 10:40.020
I'm not sure if SpaceX was trying to induce a test there or something that

10:40.840 --> 10:47.560
You generally don't want to do that cuz well, I mean the short answer is that rockets don't like being hosed down with water like

10:47.720 --> 10:51.980
That's you know, it might seem like they get really wet at ignition and lift off

10:51.980 --> 10:58.320
But the reality is that that system fires after lift-off like I was so random

10:58.320 --> 11:00.320
Yeah, that was that was definitely

11:04.320 --> 11:07.860
I literally glance over because I was about to tell Jay

11:08.160 --> 11:12.580
To about about about zooming a camera in on this 39 at some point soon

11:12.580 --> 11:14.080
Just in case we could see

11:14.080 --> 11:18.440
Frost forming and then I just see out of the corner of my eye. I see a pressure release

11:18.880 --> 11:24.120
Like near the deluge farm. I'm like, that's weird and then the top that just activated it like what?

11:28.320 --> 11:37.120
So, yeah guys, in case you're just popping in, we've been sitting here watching Super

11:37.120 --> 11:38.120
Heavy do its thing.

11:38.120 --> 11:39.120
They tanked the thing.

11:39.120 --> 11:41.160
They did a spin prime.

11:41.160 --> 11:43.720
Right now they're just letting the propellants boil off.

11:43.720 --> 11:50.360
It seems like they were detanking, but we just saw them fire the top deck sound suppressor

11:50.360 --> 11:53.200
on the booster.

11:53.200 --> 11:54.840
It hosed down the side of the booster.

11:54.840 --> 12:00.680
Well, simultaneously in the top right blocks, we see them spooling up the tank farm, seemingly.

12:00.680 --> 12:05.760
It's a new tank farm, so we're kind of still trying to figure out what exactly what's going

12:05.760 --> 12:06.760
on over there.

12:06.760 --> 12:10.720
But we have simultaneous testing going on here, but they just decided, SpaceX just

12:10.720 --> 12:12.760
decided to hose down the side of that booster.

12:12.760 --> 12:15.600
I mean, like, I don't have any other way to say that.

12:15.600 --> 12:20.240
That's a little bit strange.

12:20.240 --> 12:25.760
I, uh, alright, I've never seen that before.

12:25.760 --> 12:29.720
I just, I'm just gonna say this, you know how much steam we're getting at lift off with

12:29.720 --> 12:30.720
this thing?

12:30.720 --> 12:33.880
Not only the trench, but the top deck.

12:33.880 --> 12:39.400
Like we're not gonna be like, we may get, we're gonna get that exhaust out the side

12:39.400 --> 12:40.400
of the trenches.

12:40.400 --> 12:44.080
And then when this thing goes to lift off, it's just gonna be a cloud of steam covering

12:44.080 --> 12:48.280
the booster until it finally clears it all and then we'll see the exhaust.

12:48.280 --> 12:53.340
It's gonna be so much steam or maybe it vaporizes most of the steam completely

12:53.340 --> 12:56.120
I I think it's not a rated dude

12:56.280 --> 13:02.120
We're gonna see a big cloud coming out of that sucker and then it'll saturate eventually I mean

13:02.440 --> 13:06.880
It I'm thinking something like when we saw the static fires on pad one

13:06.880 --> 13:13.840
But then again, you know with SpaceX maybe they looked at pad one and said now we're getting some ablation on the shower head and

13:13.960 --> 13:17.860
You know even and even ablation on the tower posts, right?

13:17.860 --> 13:23.100
Now obviously that doesn't carry over into pad 2, right? Like pad 2 is a completely different design

13:23.100 --> 13:26.980
But you still got that flame bucket and deflector down there, right? So

13:28.300 --> 13:32.260
Maybe maybe they maybe we do see a giant steam cloud maybe it's gonna end up

13:32.260 --> 13:33.180
I mean, I don't know

13:33.180 --> 13:38.260
I either got something like pad 1 in my mind where it shoots out a big cloud of steam and then

13:38.780 --> 13:44.400
Because steam has like a it's a saturation point. It can only absorb so much heat when it when that happens

13:44.400 --> 13:46.260
It just turns clear, right?

13:46.260 --> 13:51.460
Either that or I'm thinking like the B2 test stand like during the SLS green run where it's just shooting out

13:51.460 --> 13:53.660
Looks like Niagara Falls shooting out the side, right?

13:57.980 --> 14:03.680
It's just it looks so I love the top I love how that they have the

14:05.860 --> 14:12.200
The holes set up and then where the where the most pressure is because you can literally see it it splits the tower

14:12.200 --> 14:17.480
with the most pressure on that side and you have less pressure on the BQD side

14:17.480 --> 14:21.200
but that's because we don't need to protect the BQDs as much anymore and

14:21.200 --> 14:24.680
the thing's gonna go up and the most pressure is where you want where the

14:24.680 --> 14:29.960
booster is gonna turn out so it's it's such a cool the way they have it all

14:29.960 --> 14:33.560
set up and then of course it'll probably fire again and maybe a little

14:33.560 --> 14:38.800
bit lower pressure for the for the landing burns and whatnot. I like they

14:38.800 --> 14:49.980
did when they caught 12, 14, and 15, but no, I completely forgot about ship 39 now, space

14:49.980 --> 14:52.740
X stopped tugging me in different directions.

14:52.740 --> 14:57.940
Dude, hey, it's a good day to tank watch, man, the sun's out, well, the sun's out where

14:57.940 --> 15:00.140
I'm at, it doesn't look like the sun's out there.

15:00.140 --> 15:01.380
It's not out there.

15:01.380 --> 15:04.180
But I mean, I'm sure it's warm.

15:04.940 --> 15:10.040
Yeah, this is man. I didn't think there'd be this much action today, okay?

15:10.980 --> 15:15.740
Fellows we are working so people that are watching tank watchers fellow tank watchers twitch YouTube

15:15.740 --> 15:21.600
We are working on a replay. We'll get your replay that as soon as it's available because yeah, that's uh

15:22.660 --> 15:25.460
As far as I can tell that's a little bit rare

15:25.460 --> 15:30.260
You don't really see them hose down their own rocket like that's not every day that that happens

15:30.260 --> 15:37.300
So, when we get a replay, we got the producers in the background chewing up that replay for

15:37.300 --> 15:38.300
everybody to see.

15:38.300 --> 15:39.300
Because yeah, that was kind of sudden.

15:39.300 --> 15:40.900
We were like, wait, wait what?

15:40.900 --> 15:45.820
Yeah, we got the, we got that under body rinse.

15:45.820 --> 15:46.820
That's right.

15:46.820 --> 15:47.820
Yeah, they paid for it.

15:47.820 --> 15:48.820
They paid for the works, dude.

15:48.820 --> 15:49.980
Where's the hot wax?

15:49.980 --> 15:52.380
You know, like, we paid for the works here.

15:52.380 --> 15:53.380
Let's go.

15:53.380 --> 15:59.020
So, once again, dudes, if you're just popping in wondering what's going on.

15:59.020 --> 16:03.600
We are tank watching out here, this is SpaceX, this is Starbase, so this is down in the southern

16:03.600 --> 16:09.180
tip of Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, their SpaceX is doing testing on their booster and

16:09.180 --> 16:10.180
their ship.

16:10.180 --> 16:17.160
So in the main shot, you see a shot of the booster and then you've got the ship in the

16:17.160 --> 16:19.860
picture and picture on the top right.

16:19.860 --> 16:23.120
We did see a spin prime, so we saw tanking and spin prime of the ship, which means

16:23.120 --> 16:27.660
they filled it up with some propellants and then they turned on all the fuel pumps.

16:27.660 --> 16:30.260
I know the full flow stage combustion,

16:30.260 --> 16:31.860
I know it's more complicated than that.

16:31.860 --> 16:33.220
But they turned on all the fuel pumps,

16:33.220 --> 16:35.220
but didn't ignite the motors a little bit earlier.

16:35.220 --> 16:37.460
That's called the spin prime.

16:37.460 --> 16:41.500
And then they seem to be spooling up the pad

16:41.500 --> 16:45.500
or doing some tests with ship 39 over at Massys.

16:45.500 --> 16:48.100
So we'll see where this takes us,

16:48.100 --> 16:51.860
but we did just see a deluge system go off on the main pad,

16:51.860 --> 16:53.020
and that's why we're kind of keeping it

16:53.020 --> 16:54.620
on the main picture right now.

16:54.620 --> 16:56.780
We'll see.

16:56.780 --> 17:03.980
So and I'll just give a primer, a quick primer for anyone who hasn't watched Zach's video

17:03.980 --> 17:06.620
regarding pad two.

17:06.620 --> 17:07.620
Is part two.

17:07.620 --> 17:10.900
He talks a ton about the water.

17:10.900 --> 17:15.100
But yes, absolutely fantastic.

17:15.100 --> 17:18.940
The two trench buckets are one separate system.

17:18.940 --> 17:23.260
Those are the six large tanks on the deluge system.

17:23.260 --> 17:26.940
And then there's the ridge cap, which is like sits right below the engines.

17:26.940 --> 17:29.420
It binds right between the two buckets.

17:29.420 --> 17:37.340
That has its own three smaller tanks as well as its own pressurization system.

17:37.340 --> 17:41.060
The six large tanks for the buckets also have their own pressurization system.

17:41.060 --> 17:47.020
And then the top deck has its own three tanks with its own pressurization system.

17:47.020 --> 17:50.740
So when they go and activate separate parts of this day ludes, they aren't taking

17:50.740 --> 17:51.740
from the same tanks.

17:51.740 --> 17:58.500
They are their own separate supplies and pressurization and little, they're not really baby raptors

17:58.500 --> 18:05.340
but they're gas standardators, they basically burn gaseous, oxygen and methane to create

18:05.340 --> 18:13.260
a heater and then they put in LN2 which then vaporizes, goes into basically a pipe and

18:13.260 --> 18:18.180
then goes into the tanks, pressurizing the tanks and that's basically what that

18:18.180 --> 18:32.180
It's just basically a gas standard. It generates a bunch of nitrogen gas and high pressure because when you take a liquid and instantly turn it into an incredibly hot gas, your pressure is going to go way up.

18:32.180 --> 18:40.180
You're going to skyrocket pressure because when the gas expands like that crazy, you can get a lot of pressure out of it, especially in a confined environment.

18:40.180 --> 18:48.460
boiler but for nitrogen how about that yeah that's you're talking about the

18:48.460 --> 18:51.940
sound suppressors right they they it's they're using nitrogen as a pressure

18:51.940 --> 18:59.940
to push water around right mm-hmm yes yeah baby they they literally ignite

18:59.940 --> 19:06.700
that ignite the burner in there dump L and two in vaporize it that that it

19:06.700 --> 19:12.440
that vaporized nitrogen then gets pushed into the tops of the the water

19:12.440 --> 19:17.860
daily tanks which then gets pushed through the lines and then out through

19:17.860 --> 19:24.380
either the bucket the ridge of the deck basically at incredibly high

19:24.380 --> 19:28.380
pressures a high enough pressures to counteract the pressure of a raptor

19:28.380 --> 19:36.340
engine hey okay Alex Ryan take a look right at the so right underneath the

19:36.340 --> 19:39.340
main pad deck in this shot. Is there something hanging there?

19:39.340 --> 19:43.340
There is. What is that about Alex? Can you tell me what that is?

19:43.340 --> 19:47.340
I have no idea. It looks like some kind of wired...

19:47.340 --> 19:52.340
The real question is, was that hanging there before?

19:52.340 --> 19:58.340
I think it was. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was.

19:58.340 --> 20:02.340
One of their testing things may have come loose a little bit.

20:02.340 --> 20:08.420
That's easy to fix, they just get in there, they'll literally lower a little GOG lift

20:08.420 --> 20:12.180
into the trench and then they can fix it overnight.

20:12.180 --> 20:17.780
I know you saw a lot of water go off, but they have two sumps inside the trench which

20:17.780 --> 20:24.500
they can literally pump the water out and whatnot, so yeah, they try to reuse some

20:24.500 --> 20:28.580
of it if they can.

20:28.580 --> 20:29.580
Cool.

20:29.580 --> 20:31.860
It's potable water, you can drink it, right?

20:31.860 --> 20:34.100
Right, you can literally drink it.

20:34.100 --> 20:40.100
Did you see how dirty that water looked when it came out of either the trench or the top

20:40.100 --> 20:41.100
deck?

20:41.100 --> 20:42.700
You see how rusty and dirty that looked?

20:42.700 --> 20:46.940
How long had it been that it had been activated like a week?

20:46.940 --> 20:47.940
We're going to have?

20:47.940 --> 20:52.140
It hasn't been that long since they last activated it.

20:52.140 --> 20:56.860
Those tanks are kind of dirty, I guess.

20:56.860 --> 21:01.100
So actually, guys, I think, okay, here's the replay.

21:01.100 --> 21:04.700
this so see that see it blows down on the left over there like that's the that's the

21:04.700 --> 21:09.340
shit that's just that's the system pressurizing right like look at that yeah look at the range

21:09.340 --> 21:16.060
on that it's going all the way over the oh it's going over the gateway to bar sign and

21:16.060 --> 21:25.020
on the highway wow look at the range on that jet you know a little wash that oh star hopper

21:25.020 --> 21:29.020
Yeah, right. I hope you got a little bit of a shower there.

21:29.020 --> 21:34.020
Jay's saying we have eight replays of this, so we'll see multiple angles.

21:34.020 --> 21:37.020
Oh, feed us, please.

21:37.020 --> 21:40.020
All right. What have we got here?

21:40.020 --> 21:43.020
Take a look at the frosting, how it changes after the test.

21:43.020 --> 21:47.020
Right.

21:47.020 --> 21:50.020
Dude, that is...that's a lot of water, man.

21:50.020 --> 21:52.020
Oh, my goodness.

21:52.020 --> 21:57.060
see how high those water jets are like I just like it's hard to get a sense of

21:57.060 --> 22:02.820
scale at how tall all this stuff is like a third of the way up the booster and the

22:02.820 --> 22:14.260
booster is huge yeah that's like this 70 what 72 meter tall booster almost yeah

22:14.260 --> 22:20.020
yeah that's about 220 feet tall 22-story building guys that thing is

22:20.020 --> 22:25.260
This is tall as an entire Falcon 9 stack and about two times as thick.

22:25.260 --> 22:27.700
It's super heavy as no joke.

22:27.700 --> 22:31.540
That thing, I mean, with those raptor threes in there, Alex, we're putting out well beyond

22:31.540 --> 22:33.660
15 million pounds of thrust.

22:33.660 --> 22:38.660
That's almost, it's like two and a half times the Saturn V, something like that.

22:38.660 --> 22:46.740
Yeah, I think, let me do the quick math here to translate into pounds.

22:46.740 --> 22:52.460
we're pushing 70 mega newtons right yeah a little bit more than that it should

22:52.460 --> 22:56.300
be for for version three because raptor three is a little bit more powerful than

22:56.300 --> 23:02.580
it's not 280 as some people are saying by the way that's the end goal that's

23:02.580 --> 23:06.100
what they want for a raptor three and then after that it's like raptor four

23:06.100 --> 23:12.820
with 300 tons or something like that but yeah it should be about 18 million

23:12.820 --> 23:21.740
pounds of thrust with 33 engines. That's a lot of thrust. Okay so we should have audio

23:21.740 --> 23:25.060
coming on the next one here.

23:25.060 --> 23:27.060
Alright.

23:41.060 --> 23:43.060
That's all the way from highway 2. That's loud.

23:43.060 --> 23:48.060
That's... yeah. Guys, this camera is not close to the pad. I've been...

23:49.060 --> 23:51.060
...to the roof.

23:55.060 --> 24:02.060
Whoa, the white is CP 11 which is close!

24:02.060 --> 24:08.060
Yeah. Geez. Hey Alex, you're right, it washed the frost off the side of the booster, you see that?

24:08.060 --> 24:10.060
Yeah, I did.

24:10.060 --> 24:19.060
I wonder if it's more about direct contact or that the air immediately next to the booster was sort of pushed out by the water?

24:19.060 --> 24:24.060
Does that must have an impact, right? I don't know.

24:24.060 --> 24:32.260
Yeah. So fellas, I got a question over in coming from from Kite and Mazzala over in

24:32.260 --> 24:37.500
Twitch chat. Like I can't put this one up on the screen, but I was wondering, and Alex,

24:37.500 --> 24:42.340
this one's going to you because you're the space architecture nerd like I am. What

24:42.340 --> 24:46.260
do you think space is going to do with a starship if they get it up there for Artemis 3 to

24:46.260 --> 24:49.940
dock with? What do you think they do with that starship, right? Because there's so

24:49.940 --> 24:54.160
so much more objectives that they have to do, I mean...

24:54.160 --> 24:55.960
Like after the mission ends?

24:55.960 --> 25:01.160
Yeah, like say, we send an Orion up there, they docked a starship, everything goes honky-dory,

25:01.160 --> 25:05.640
now SpaceX has a starship, presumably in low or high Earth orbit.

25:05.640 --> 25:11.160
We don't know the concept of operations for Artemis III just yet, guys, but what is that?

25:11.160 --> 25:12.160
The brakes.

25:12.160 --> 25:13.160
Hold up.

25:13.160 --> 25:14.160
Booster vending.

25:14.160 --> 25:15.160
Yeah.

25:15.160 --> 25:16.160
Impress vent.

25:16.160 --> 25:17.160
Yep.

25:17.160 --> 25:19.160
Look at the group fins, right above them.

25:19.160 --> 25:21.160
Yep, yep.

25:21.160 --> 25:23.160
That's the...

25:23.160 --> 25:25.160
Let's depress Vented Booster.

25:25.160 --> 25:29.160
We're pretty close to prop load for Ship 39.

25:34.160 --> 25:38.160
See, we're looking at the replays. We're answering questions and saying something.

25:38.160 --> 25:40.160
That's how it goes.

25:40.160 --> 25:42.160
Everything everywhere, all at once.

25:42.160 --> 25:50.540
So for people that don't know that's that is a vent line from SpaceX's methane tank when they vent down the tanks like that

25:50.540 --> 25:53.580
That usually means they're done with they're done for the day

25:54.380 --> 25:56.720
Especially considering how long this deep breath is

25:57.240 --> 25:58.680
a

25:58.680 --> 26:04.200
Lot of rockets guys use tank pressure for structural rigidity starship is no exception

26:04.280 --> 26:08.020
Alex how thick is the tank wall on the starships nowadays like

26:08.020 --> 26:16.320
about four millimeters yeah okay that's not to think it's not too thin oh yeah

26:16.320 --> 26:21.720
as far as we know it's sort of around that we're talking some parts of the

26:21.720 --> 26:28.420
ship for example might be slightly thinner by slightly like three point

26:28.420 --> 26:33.100
something right I think I can't remember the payload is still 3.4 the

26:33.100 --> 26:53.100
The problem is that we used to see the stainless steel wheels arrive with labels on them, but we haven't seen them in a while so for all we know, they may be slightly thinner, but I think they're still sitting at 4 millimeters.

26:53.100 --> 26:59.700
is you know right away so like with with the steel that it's got right and the

26:59.700 --> 27:06.300
stringers and all reinforcements both the ship and booster are fine right but as

27:06.300 --> 27:10.940
you mentioned EJ if you pressurize the tanks then you can better take the loads

27:10.940 --> 27:15.260
right like like a coke can sort of thing right yeah it's not open when it's

27:15.260 --> 27:19.540
fully pressurized it's quite hard to crush it when you open it and empty it

27:19.540 --> 27:26.900
out, it's quite easy to project, right? Same deal here. It's a lot easier to, you know,

27:26.900 --> 27:32.580
whatever loads you put on the booster or the ship to affect the vehicle structurally when

27:32.580 --> 27:36.500
it's unpressurized. But if you pressurize it, then it can take those loads a little bit

27:36.500 --> 27:41.500
better. And so, yeah, that's why they also fly like that with tanks pressurized.

27:41.500 --> 27:45.500
I mean, yeah, they're going to need all the help they can get when all those engines

27:45.500 --> 27:49.060
ignite. You need all the rigidity that you possibly can. But once again, guys,

27:49.060 --> 27:53.060
you got to think about starships already made out of stainless steel you're dealing with a

27:53.780 --> 27:58.580
interesting mass fraction to say the least i mean not many people make rockets out of stainless

27:58.580 --> 28:04.980
steel except for like centaurs right so you know you pressure you use everything to your advantage

28:04.980 --> 28:09.380
there to try to gain some structural rigidity because you can't you can't use as much stainless

28:09.380 --> 28:14.740
steel as you could with like an aluminum rocket aluminum rockets have it as a much thicker

28:14.740 --> 28:18.640
tank wall with like milled stringers for instance like the aluminum is way thicker

28:18.640 --> 28:22.540
with the steel you don't have that luxury so yeah if you're wondering why

28:22.540 --> 28:26.700
why the thing's been cheating here for like couple minutes now it's because

28:26.700 --> 28:30.780
they really pressurized those dang things up to get some structure into

28:30.780 --> 28:34.140
that thing because you got to remember what's on top of it right yeah and then

28:34.140 --> 28:39.300
what's pushing up from the bottom right it's no joke and then you meant

28:39.300 --> 28:43.060
because you mentioned Centaur and then in the case of Centaur it's actually

28:43.060 --> 28:49.660
not stable without pressure station right like that's the the complete sort of

28:49.660 --> 28:54.900
extreme of this where it's like even without pressure it will crumple right

28:54.900 --> 29:03.780
its walls are like eight times bigger it's like half a millimeter we should be

29:03.780 --> 29:11.260
into prop loader very nearly in a prop load on ship right as right as

29:11.260 --> 29:29.580
The wind direction isn't really helping, it's blowing all the methane subcooler exhaust across

29:29.580 --> 29:31.820
the ship in front of it.

29:31.820 --> 29:54.160
They were upgrading the snot out of Massey's after the ship 36 decided to ship 36 int.

29:54.160 --> 29:58.400
What is that structure next to the ship if you haven't watched Tank Watching in a little

29:58.400 --> 30:02.400
since Ship 36 popped. What is that thing on the side?

30:02.400 --> 30:06.400
That is a new truss structure.

30:06.400 --> 30:10.400
They built it. It was kind of one of a really, really late edition after

30:10.400 --> 30:14.400
all the changes, the other changes to Massey's.

30:14.400 --> 30:18.400
When Ship 39 first went out for cryo, they used it

30:18.400 --> 30:22.400
to test the forward and f-flaps as well as

30:22.400 --> 30:26.400
they had chopstick simulators attached to it to squeeze the

30:26.400 --> 30:33.840
ship, which in fact you could even see the squeezing, I think we have some clips of it

30:33.840 --> 30:38.400
pulled at some point here. I have to go find them again, but you could actually see the

30:38.400 --> 30:45.800
cable between the two, the chopstick sims like tension as they squeeze the ship around

30:45.800 --> 30:50.880
the payload bay. And basically to test how the payload bay would stand against two chopsticks

30:50.880 --> 30:56.240
closing in on them during the catch. And then I guess they wanted to test possibly a new

30:56.240 --> 31:03.440
drive system or a new motor maybe on the flaps. None of that system is currently hooked up

31:03.440 --> 31:10.200
to 39 as far as I know. It should just be the QD as well as the new purge system that

31:10.200 --> 31:17.640
goes under the ship aft itself as part of the upgraded ship static fire stand after

31:17.640 --> 31:23.500
got fried from ship 36. And yeah, there's a lot of little cool upgrades all over the

31:23.500 --> 31:28.380
place at Massys. Definitely things they probably wanted to do in the beginning, and they just

31:28.380 --> 31:34.660
didn't, and now this kind of gave them the excuse to do it all. A lot of things are

31:34.660 --> 31:40.200
protected in bunkers now, protected behind blast walls, not out in the open. For those

31:40.200 --> 31:44.920
who remember some of the flyover pictures from after ship 36, you can see how mangled

31:44.920 --> 31:50.600
everything is if another ship 36 event were to happen there would be they would lose a lot of the

31:50.600 --> 31:58.200
lines that come from the the fluids bunker to the ship stand but other than that pretty much

31:58.200 --> 32:03.000
everything else would be safe. They would just have to replace those lines which that's not

32:03.000 --> 32:08.360
really that bad to do. It's a lot easier than trying to redo the entire tank farm.

32:08.360 --> 32:22.320
I mean that speaks to, with the exception I'd say of block 3 and that pad, so pad 2, right?

32:22.320 --> 32:24.080
It speaks to the iteration here.

32:24.080 --> 32:28.240
I mean that kind of shows you where SpaceX's goals were in the early parts of the Starship

32:28.240 --> 32:29.240
program.

32:29.240 --> 32:32.080
Like obviously it was, you know, see if you could do the flippin' burn at the beginning,

32:32.080 --> 32:33.080
right?

32:33.080 --> 32:36.560
And then, you know, you get into the flight test, flight test 1 to flight test 11.

32:36.560 --> 32:42.160
goal really wasn't like figure out the pad design. The goal was just get the thing to go, right? Like

32:42.800 --> 32:48.000
now you even see iteration on the pad. You see iterations on the test side. It just kind of speaks

32:48.000 --> 32:54.320
to how how SpaceX does their iteration. It's not just for the ship. Roadblocks still up there from

32:54.320 --> 33:01.520
what we can see. No, wait. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Guys, guys breaking news. The sheriff has

33:01.520 --> 33:11.720
shifted the car into reverse, and the country means a road open as one as one

33:11.720 --> 33:17.980
there we go here ends another one is still going so speaking of road closure

33:17.980 --> 33:24.520
of road open they just changed the road closure page and now it shows primary

33:24.520 --> 33:29.520
for tomorrow so here we go.

33:29.520 --> 33:34.240
And now we have the march of the cyber trucks to the pad.

33:34.240 --> 33:35.240
No it's April EJ.

33:35.240 --> 33:36.240
It's not March.

33:36.240 --> 33:39.080
March was two weeks ago.

33:39.080 --> 33:42.560
I was getting my cyber truck migratory patterns wrong.

33:42.560 --> 33:45.560
That's my fault.

33:45.560 --> 33:48.600
Here we have the majestic cyber truck going down to the pad.

33:48.600 --> 33:49.600
You had long march.

33:49.600 --> 33:50.600
It's not majestic.

33:50.600 --> 33:53.400
We prepared for long April.

33:53.400 --> 34:01.200
April is going to be a long April and we still have plenty of action left.

34:01.200 --> 34:04.440
We still have more testing from these two vehicles.

34:04.440 --> 34:07.920
We have a Falcon Heavy.

34:07.920 --> 34:10.440
There's another Atlas teed up for another Kuiper mission.

34:10.440 --> 34:12.360
ULA put LVOS last night.

34:12.360 --> 34:14.920
That launch vehicle on stand means they started stacking.

34:14.920 --> 34:21.920
That should be around the same time as Falcon Heavy

34:21.920 --> 34:34.920
The unfortunate thing is that this is almost 1000% not going

34:34.920 --> 34:36.920
Head ready, head ready April

34:36.920 --> 34:38.920
Ready, ready?

34:38.920 --> 34:40.920
Yum!

34:40.920 --> 34:44.920
You knew, you knew

34:44.920 --> 34:47.920
Yup, yup, I knew it was coming

34:47.920 --> 34:49.920
Yum, yum!

34:49.920 --> 34:52.920
We need more sleep

34:52.920 --> 34:57.920
Oh boy, I don't know what I'm going to get sleep right now

34:57.920 --> 35:00.920
but it will be at some point in my life over the next couple of days

35:00.920 --> 35:06.400
a couple of days and there are no health problems from that right now, they are actually

35:06.400 --> 35:07.400
not.

35:07.400 --> 35:08.400
No, absolutely not.

35:08.400 --> 35:09.400
No, it's fine.

35:09.400 --> 35:13.600
Sorry, you should need to do it one more time.

35:13.600 --> 35:17.400
I'm waiting to try to see Frost right now.

35:17.400 --> 35:20.400
Dude, look at that, that thing is really going into overdrive.

35:20.400 --> 35:25.280
Yeah, the leftmost is your methane co-cooler vent.

35:25.280 --> 35:26.280
Yeah.

35:26.280 --> 35:27.280
What?

35:27.280 --> 35:37.780
Yeah, the popes, yeah, keep keep going. Sorry. Nice.

35:37.780 --> 35:44.920
Yeah, the left most is your is your methane subcooler vent. The big cloud you see in the

35:44.920 --> 35:50.560
middle between the two vents is it's kind of like your locks chill down pit and a lot

35:50.560 --> 35:55.920
of other jazz. And then the one the vent on the right is that of course that locks

35:55.920 --> 35:58.600
box fan vent for the lock sub coolers.

35:58.600 --> 35:59.760
With them going this strong

35:59.760 --> 36:01.400
and having this much pressure behind them,

36:01.400 --> 36:02.960
they should be into prop load

36:02.960 --> 36:05.480
or at least really, really chilling things down.

36:05.480 --> 36:08.960
I'm waiting to try to see any frost right now.

36:08.960 --> 36:09.800
I'm gonna have to go back

36:09.800 --> 36:13.800
and record all these timings here whenever I,

36:13.800 --> 36:15.200
you know, I don't feel like death

36:15.200 --> 36:16.840
or whatever when here we are.

36:19.360 --> 36:22.920
The methane sub cooler cloud is not helping.

36:22.920 --> 36:23.760
You're not helping.

36:23.760 --> 36:26.360
you're blocking my view of seeing frost

36:26.360 --> 36:28.080
net help gang wind

36:28.080 --> 36:29.840
blowing up a reaction

36:29.840 --> 36:32.400
yelling at wind

36:32.400 --> 36:37.880
ryan weber yells at cloud

36:37.880 --> 36:39.180
alright so

36:39.180 --> 36:42.480
uh... once again we're doing some we're doing some sunday tank watching here

36:42.480 --> 36:46.640
guys if you just pop it in is wondering what's going on we we did see space

36:46.640 --> 36:49.560
x do a spin prime they tank

36:49.560 --> 36:52.920
booster nineteen out at pad two at starbase

36:52.920 --> 36:56.920
they did do a spin prime and then for some reason decided they wanted to get

36:56.920 --> 37:01.520
the comet wash on their rocket and sprayed it down with the pad deluge system

37:01.520 --> 37:05.240
and then detank the vehicle but now just as that's wrapping up over there the

37:05.240 --> 37:08.000
roadblocks open it opening up to uh...

37:08.000 --> 37:11.500
to the pads we got some action out here at masses we got ship thirty nine

37:11.500 --> 37:13.640
out there on the test stand now

37:13.640 --> 37:14.940
right now i can

37:14.940 --> 37:17.920
i've been on an arty miss to kick i'm not going to lie to you just that

37:17.920 --> 37:20.220
thing has all of its engines doesn't it

37:20.220 --> 37:22.040
Should have all six engines, yep.

37:22.040 --> 37:22.880
Oh, baby.

37:22.880 --> 37:24.380
Three, three centers, three R-backs.

37:25.680 --> 37:29.380
Now, and those are Raptor three back-ins, right?

37:29.380 --> 37:30.220
Uh-huh.

37:30.220 --> 37:31.500
Oh, baby.

37:31.500 --> 37:32.660
Yeah.

37:32.660 --> 37:33.740
Oh, yes.

37:33.740 --> 37:34.940
That's sweet.

37:34.940 --> 37:37.780
So guys, the reason why we're covering this

37:37.780 --> 37:39.300
is because what we're looking at here

37:39.300 --> 37:42.740
is SpaceX's Block 3 architecture for Starship.

37:43.740 --> 37:45.740
SpaceX basically redesigned everything.

37:45.740 --> 37:48.740
I don't think there is a common component here

37:48.740 --> 37:51.180
with the previous versions of Starship.

37:51.180 --> 37:52.700
Any ideas?

37:52.700 --> 37:55.060
Ship is pretty close.

37:55.060 --> 37:58.180
There's definitely changes here and there.

37:58.180 --> 38:00.860
There's heat shield changes.

38:00.860 --> 38:04.860
There's raceway changes, auto gen changes.

38:06.500 --> 38:09.180
There's certainly changes, but there's a lot of,

38:09.180 --> 38:11.220
there's more, there's a lot of similarities

38:11.220 --> 38:13.860
still between block three and block two,

38:14.740 --> 38:16.540
but they did make a lot of improvements

38:16.540 --> 38:18.580
across the board.

38:18.580 --> 38:23.760
The biggest change is Booster.

38:23.760 --> 38:26.600
Booster's like a collegiate design, basically.

38:26.600 --> 38:28.680
The only thing that's same with it

38:28.680 --> 38:32.000
is basically it's a 9-meter diameter and it's stainless

38:32.000 --> 38:33.000
steel.

38:33.000 --> 38:35.520
And it's got a form of raptor engines.

38:35.520 --> 38:39.040
That's basically where your similarities at.

38:39.040 --> 38:41.200
That's how changed it is.

38:41.200 --> 38:44.600
But ship, there's still a lot of similarities there.

38:44.600 --> 38:54.160
So I wait, I think I think locks frost, I need, I need the, I'll be honest, I, I don't

38:54.160 --> 38:55.800
know how you can see that.

38:55.800 --> 39:01.400
I think I'm waiting for clouds to move out of the way.

39:01.400 --> 39:03.400
Evan help.

39:03.400 --> 39:06.640
So Kevin meet your clouds out in the way.

39:06.640 --> 39:11.720
So for the for the uninitiated guys, we're looking for frost on the booster.

39:11.720 --> 39:14.120
The reason why we're looking for frost on the booster.

39:14.120 --> 39:18.280
Yeah, dude, too much not enough to look at for costs on the ship.

39:18.280 --> 39:19.080
All right.

39:19.080 --> 39:20.120
The reason why we want to.

39:20.120 --> 39:21.360
Yeah, yeah, lock shops.

39:21.360 --> 39:23.000
Yep, definitely lock shops.

39:23.000 --> 39:23.640
Absolutely.

39:23.640 --> 39:24.960
Yeah, there it is.

39:24.960 --> 39:29.000
That means they've started moving propellants into the ship.

39:29.000 --> 39:32.680
Now, whether that's for a static fire or for a spin prime,

39:32.680 --> 39:36.360
spin prime is basically a fuel pump test for the ship.

39:36.360 --> 39:37.160
We don't know.

39:37.160 --> 39:38.720
We got to kind of wait and see.

39:38.720 --> 39:39.560
But we're here.

39:39.560 --> 39:42.960
We got the popcorn out, you know, hopefully, hopefully,

39:42.960 --> 39:48.600
you see some action here. The ship boosts the same thing. Yeah, it's close. No, it's

39:48.600 --> 39:58.880
not. I really need to not have my brain be like Elmer's glue right now. You know that

39:58.880 --> 40:03.240
noise like if you squeeze Elmer's glue and it's like, that's me right now.

40:03.240 --> 40:05.320
Oh man, that sound.

40:05.320 --> 40:11.840
Yeah, that is me. That is my brain right now. So forgive me guys if I can't do the

40:11.840 --> 40:12.840
The unit conversion is good.

40:12.840 --> 40:14.400
I'm usually good at that.

40:14.400 --> 40:16.400
I'm usually good at that.

40:16.400 --> 40:17.400
How am I functioning?

40:17.400 --> 40:19.840
I'm just going to ask the genuine question.

40:19.840 --> 40:23.360
How am I functioning more than you two?

40:23.360 --> 40:29.680
Have both of you slept at all, like slept around five or more hours within the last

40:29.680 --> 40:31.640
like 24 hours?

40:31.640 --> 40:36.640
Ryan, yeah, I got some sleep last night.

40:36.640 --> 40:41.640
I let yesterday, I stayed awake for most of the day,

40:41.640 --> 40:47.640
and then, or at least I was awake at like 2 or 3 p.m.

40:47.640 --> 40:51.640
And then I went to work, came home.

40:51.640 --> 40:54.640
I think I have like an hour and a half of sleep under me,

40:54.640 --> 40:55.640
and here I am.

40:55.640 --> 40:57.640
I feel like I'm functioning more than either of you.

40:57.640 --> 40:59.640
How's that possible?

40:59.640 --> 41:04.640
Alex and I covered the entire Artemis II mission.

41:04.640 --> 41:06.640
I also covered a lot of it too and I worked.

41:06.640 --> 41:09.640
Brother, brother, I don't know.

41:09.640 --> 41:13.640
Dude, I did 10 60 hour streams back to back.

41:13.640 --> 41:15.640
10 days straight.

41:15.640 --> 41:18.640
My plane is not good.

41:18.640 --> 41:20.640
Alex was right there with me.

41:20.640 --> 41:23.640
He was doing it on the, yeah, and I was in a suit.

41:23.640 --> 41:24.640
That's true.

41:24.640 --> 41:25.640
Jay in the back, in a suit.

41:25.640 --> 41:27.640
I wasn't in a suit for all of it.

41:27.640 --> 41:28.640
No.

41:28.640 --> 41:32.640
There is a chance that I completely just, just,

41:32.640 --> 41:35.440
just kind of collapse after all this,

41:35.440 --> 41:38.360
but we'll see what happens tomorrow.

41:38.360 --> 41:40.240
A couple of people in chat are saying I'm getting old.

41:40.240 --> 41:41.080
And you know what?

41:41.080 --> 41:43.120
You might be right, but you don't need to say it, man.

41:43.120 --> 41:46.200
Geez, you don't need to remind me.

41:46.200 --> 41:51.280
No, yeah, guys, I'm coming off a huge thing where, yeah,

41:51.280 --> 41:53.200
I covered the entire Artemis II mission.

41:53.200 --> 41:54.040
I did the whole thing.

41:54.040 --> 41:55.600
I only slept when the crew slept.

41:55.600 --> 41:57.480
And even then, I kept the stream live

41:57.480 --> 42:00.240
because it moon mission, baby.

42:00.240 --> 42:01.240
And then, you know what?

42:01.240 --> 42:03.760
When this thing takes its trip out to the moon,

42:03.760 --> 42:06.120
if SpaceX's gonna give us some 24-7 coverage,

42:06.120 --> 42:06.960
guess what?

42:06.960 --> 42:07.960
We're doing that too.

42:07.960 --> 42:08.960
Just saying.

42:10.320 --> 42:11.880
It better.

42:11.880 --> 42:12.720
It better.

42:12.720 --> 42:13.640
Yep.

42:13.640 --> 42:14.640
Like.

42:14.640 --> 42:15.680
Mm-hmm.

42:15.680 --> 42:19.160
So, I want HD cameras off Starship

42:19.160 --> 42:21.080
all the way to the moon.

42:21.080 --> 42:22.520
Yeah.

42:22.520 --> 42:23.780
Yeah.

42:23.780 --> 42:24.880
Yeah, exactly.

42:24.880 --> 42:25.720
So, okay.

42:25.720 --> 42:26.560
Once again, all right.

42:26.560 --> 42:27.380
Serious note here.

42:27.380 --> 42:29.280
We're looking at Massie's test site.

42:29.280 --> 42:33.080
this is down at starbase this is at the very southern tip of texas and what

42:33.080 --> 42:37.680
we're looking at here is ship thirty nine that space x's newest starship

42:37.680 --> 42:41.080
it is out on the test and we're hoping to see some action here now we did get

42:41.080 --> 42:44.280
frost lines on the ship which means they that they have started loading

42:44.280 --> 42:46.760
propellants

42:46.760 --> 42:50.560
you know a lot of folks saw the sys ls get tanked s ls didn't have any ice

42:50.560 --> 42:54.040
on the sides because they have that spray on foam insulation starship

42:54.040 --> 42:57.000
doesn't necessarily have that because well different material design and

42:57.000 --> 43:02.200
made out of stainless steel. So what they do have is ice build up on the side of the booster.

43:02.200 --> 43:06.040
It's a great indicator to show that they're moving propellants into that thing. Now,

43:07.160 --> 43:10.280
Ryan, have we seen that frost line go up? It looks like it's going up.

43:11.560 --> 43:21.320
It is. It's like a couple of rings. It looks like. I think it's at least the bottom section

43:21.320 --> 43:29.760
It looks like it's almost up to that patch of tiles there that they have.

43:29.760 --> 43:31.840
So they're slowly loading it.

43:31.840 --> 43:33.760
I guess they're taking their time to load ship right now.

43:33.760 --> 43:40.400
I still want to know how quick ship is going to load on the pad because they have four

43:40.400 --> 43:46.640
large LOX pumps and they have the same number of methane pumps for ship at the launch

43:46.640 --> 43:50.800
site that they do for booster, and they only have one less LOX pump.

43:50.800 --> 43:55.440
So I have this feeling ship's going to get loaded in like 20 minutes or something like

43:55.440 --> 43:57.400
that for a full stack.

43:57.400 --> 43:58.880
But you know.

43:58.880 --> 43:59.880
Yeah.

43:59.880 --> 44:03.480
So, Ryan, you're saying that Massies, so we were talking about that before.

44:03.480 --> 44:07.240
Massies has the same type of pump, but what's the difference?

44:07.240 --> 44:09.080
Just sorry, this is more for me than for Chad.

44:09.080 --> 44:11.440
I just want to, what is the difference here?

44:11.440 --> 44:18.440
Oh, the methane side is the same type of pump that's over at the launch site.

44:18.440 --> 44:22.880
The lock side pumps are not, they're the same type of pumps that it looks like they're

44:22.880 --> 44:29.640
going to be using over at LC39A, because based off of the setup that they're doing, because

44:29.640 --> 44:35.440
that crane you see there on the right, it's got a drilling rig on it, it's been drilling

44:35.440 --> 44:38.600
pilings.

44:38.600 --> 44:44.960
There used to be three really old decrepit locks tanks, they took those out, they're

44:44.960 --> 44:46.520
drilling new piles in.

44:46.520 --> 44:53.760
There are two new 1,000 cubic foot horizontal tanks as well as two large vertical tanks.

44:53.760 --> 44:58.040
It looks like all those are going to go there and they're going to increase the capacity.

44:58.040 --> 45:02.480
Either they're going locks only on those or those are going to be LN2 and they're redoing

45:02.480 --> 45:07.160
the entire tank farm at Lassie's for the first time since they built the dang thing

45:07.160 --> 45:13.720
back in the S-25 days and earlier is where some of those tank farm came from.

45:13.720 --> 45:16.400
Yeah, it's old.

45:16.400 --> 45:18.320
It's out of date.

45:18.320 --> 45:20.760
The layout's out of date.

45:20.760 --> 45:26.360
But either way, it's not the exact same, but it's close.

45:26.360 --> 45:29.480
So they can't load it as fast here as, say,

45:29.480 --> 45:31.600
they could at the lock site, because they don't have

45:31.600 --> 45:33.680
as many pumps.

45:33.680 --> 45:36.680
But it still looks like it's reloading relatively fast.

45:36.680 --> 45:41.000
I'm trying to see when we first saw the locks frost.

45:41.000 --> 45:41.960
Someone pointed it out.

45:41.960 --> 45:48.960
I think that looks like at least 6... actually... wait really?

45:48.960 --> 45:50.720
Is that that?

45:50.720 --> 45:52.800
I don't feel like it's loading that fast.

45:52.800 --> 45:56.400
Apparently all that has been loaded in like 7 minutes.

45:56.400 --> 46:00.080
Why does it feel that fast?

46:00.080 --> 46:01.080
Yeah!

46:01.080 --> 46:07.000
It doesn't feel that fast though.

46:07.000 --> 46:10.360
Are we just too used to booster now?

46:10.360 --> 46:14.800
I mean, well, it's Ryan.

46:14.800 --> 46:16.800
It's like what you were saying a little bit earlier.

46:16.800 --> 46:21.800
We don't, guys, we don't have any like privy SpaceX information.

46:22.120 --> 46:24.800
If anything, we're like, hey guys, they're like, no, go away.

46:24.800 --> 46:26.640
Like, no, we're not telling you.

46:26.640 --> 46:28.680
You're like, we have to sit there and watch just like you,

46:28.680 --> 46:29.680
just like you guys do.

46:29.680 --> 46:32.000
And that'll make us better educators when they, you know,

46:32.000 --> 46:34.400
go to keep doing this in the fur in the future,

46:34.400 --> 46:35.280
further into the future.

46:35.280 --> 46:36.840
That's what I was trying to say.

46:36.840 --> 46:44.320
Alex, you've got the spreadsheets out, right?

46:44.320 --> 46:45.620
For what?

46:45.620 --> 46:46.620
For timings here?

46:46.620 --> 46:47.620
Oh, no.

46:47.620 --> 46:50.000
I've not been doing that for a while.

46:50.000 --> 46:51.000
No one does.

46:51.000 --> 46:52.000
Yeah, for this.

46:52.000 --> 46:53.000
No one.

46:53.000 --> 46:59.680
The only time point we have for this new setup was last night.

46:59.680 --> 47:04.960
And I haven't had a chance to dissect it with being at work and now being on the

47:04.960 --> 47:08.660
stream and maybe trying to get a little bit of sleep. I just have a chance to look back

47:08.660 --> 47:13.100
at the timings, but I haven't been recording this. I'm going to have to go back and do

47:13.100 --> 47:18.860
all that. I'll probably try to do that tonight at work to keep myself awake. But basically,

47:18.860 --> 47:23.620
this is, we're finding out with everyone what the timings are here because this is

47:23.620 --> 47:28.860
the new tank farm. Literally, this is only the second time that this methane tank

47:28.860 --> 47:33.160
farm is loading propellant aboard a vehicle. The first time was last night.

47:33.160 --> 47:40.140
So it's going to take us a second to get these timings down. But yeah, there's

47:40.140 --> 47:43.320
definitely frost on that thing guys. If you, you know, squint your eyes you get

47:43.320 --> 47:46.840
this what I call safety squints. You can see that there is definitely a white

47:46.840 --> 47:51.280
line moving up that ship, which is great. I'm waiting for frost on the

47:51.280 --> 47:54.760
methane tank but it might be a little minute because they don't put a lot

47:54.760 --> 48:00.360
methane on board these. They'll fill the transfer tubes and these are just and as a

48:00.360 --> 48:05.080
reminder there's a singular transfer tube down the middle which is the

48:05.080 --> 48:11.080
same size it has been on ship for a long time. And that transfer tube is for the

48:11.080 --> 48:15.000
three center engines and then there's a separate transfer tube for all three

48:15.000 --> 48:23.800
RVACs. So the LOX tank looks like the S1C tank for those for those who've

48:23.800 --> 48:29.080
looked at the cross section of the Saturn V. It had separate transfer tubes for all

48:29.080 --> 48:34.200
the F1 engines. That's kind of how Starship is set up here. But basically,

48:34.200 --> 48:38.840
they can fill those up, and then they'll basically just kind of fill up the, there's

48:38.840 --> 48:43.880
a little beehive, and then there's the common dome, and maybe a little bit

48:43.880 --> 48:46.880
more of the common dome. So they don't really fill much methane up on these.

48:46.880 --> 48:50.720
At least they didn't do it last night, from what looked like spin prime.

48:50.720 --> 48:57.960
I don't really expect them to do a higher load for a static fire, because I'm not really

48:57.960 --> 49:04.880
expecting to, you know, I don't expect a 60, I was about to say a 60 engine, 60 second static

49:04.880 --> 49:05.880
fire.

49:05.880 --> 49:09.360
There, my brain is not working either, either EJ.

49:09.360 --> 49:10.360
Sorry, sorry.

49:10.360 --> 49:13.960
Mostly me, I've infected you now, that's my fault.

49:13.960 --> 49:19.000
No, my tiredness has catching up with me, but I am.

49:19.000 --> 49:20.000
Coffee.

49:20.000 --> 49:26.080
staying here and watching ship because I want to watch ship get tested and I think that's

49:26.080 --> 49:27.960
a methane frost line.

49:27.960 --> 49:31.000
Yep, looks like him.

49:31.000 --> 49:32.000
Oh yeah, so.

49:32.000 --> 49:34.280
Oh yeah, like halfway up the vehicle.

49:34.280 --> 49:36.520
Yep, squint your eyes real close guys.

49:36.520 --> 49:42.040
Yeah, Alex said about halfway between those two tile mart, like if you look at the two

49:42.040 --> 49:46.280
splotches of black on the left side of the ship, about, well, let's say like two-thirds

49:46.280 --> 49:50.660
of the way between those lines you could see a frost line forming.

49:50.660 --> 49:54.480
So as Ryan was saying, they don't, even if they're doing like a spin prime test, which

49:54.480 --> 49:59.840
is basically, that's like testing the fuel pumps for the engines, or if they static fire,

49:59.840 --> 50:02.720
they don't fill up a lot of methane in there.

50:02.720 --> 50:08.080
They fill up a lot of liquid oxygen to work as ballast because we don't want to, if

50:08.080 --> 50:13.400
they do spin prime or static fire, we don't want our static fire to turn into a dynamic

50:13.400 --> 50:14.400
fire.

50:14.400 --> 50:20.200
We tried that once. It didn't work very well. So they filled the locks tank up with ballast,

50:20.200 --> 50:24.300
the locks that's liquid oxygen and methane is liquid methane. Those are the propellants

50:24.300 --> 50:31.160
that Starship uses here. But yeah, definitely have a frost line. Now, Alex, we didn't

50:31.160 --> 50:35.400
get to finish this question before. What do you think they're going to do with Starship

50:35.400 --> 50:37.200
after Artemis III?

50:37.200 --> 50:45.360
Yeah. I have no idea. I'm going to be honest. Like you could think, well, maybe they can

50:45.360 --> 50:51.280
refill it and be the one that does the uncrewed demo. But I just wish that biartemis 3 will

50:51.280 --> 50:56.240
already have the uncrewed demo, or at least it's already ongoing in a parallel situation.

50:58.000 --> 51:04.400
Like if by middle of 2027, and effectively less than 10 months before the landing itself,

51:04.400 --> 51:12.840
there's no anchor demo that that will not be great timing right like the goal is

51:12.840 --> 51:20.800
to have Artemis 4 within 10 months after Artemis 3 and so it's a lot to go

51:20.800 --> 51:25.680
through especially if they need a redesign right or like tweaking things

51:25.680 --> 51:33.640
here and there I don't know I think I would like to believe that it's just

51:33.640 --> 51:39.560
going to be different, right? So what to do with the Artemis 3 HLS? I don't know, maybe

51:39.560 --> 51:45.080
do more testing in orbit. Hey, maybe you do the uncrew demo before Artemis 3, then you

51:45.080 --> 51:53.240
launch the Artemis 3 HLS, right? And then after the mission ends, you test more things that

51:53.240 --> 51:59.960
might have been a little bit wonky on the uncrew demo. Why not? That could be probably

51:59.960 --> 52:04.440
an idea there, but I have no idea that that's definitely something that that

52:04.440 --> 52:08.880
SpaceX will need to figure out or just the orbit and burn out in in the

52:08.880 --> 52:13.600
Pacific Ocean or something like that but who knows.

52:17.960 --> 52:21.800
Yeah I mean there's certainly a lot of things that they could do but I'm kind

52:21.800 --> 52:26.480
of waiting for NASA to have more of their concept of operations right

52:26.480 --> 52:33.040
Because guys, so Jared Isaacman was talking about the other day talked about in a press conference during Artemis 2

52:33.040 --> 52:39.120
They don't know if the Artemis 3 is going to be a high earth orbit or a low earth orbit test

52:39.120 --> 52:44.040
Hmm. I mean certainly Alex if it's a high earth orbit test that's gonna change

52:44.200 --> 52:50.840
What I think that would very much change with what SpaceX does with start with with that HLS demo even blue like

52:50.840 --> 52:58.120
It's a that really changes things right because that means that it's a similar orbit to the the first orbit that

52:58.120 --> 53:02.220
Artemis 2 got went into on flight day one and flight day two right

53:02.720 --> 53:09.080
Doing a prop demo in an orbit like that makes going to the moon not that big of a deal now

53:09.280 --> 53:13.220
Whether you can get out there and slow down in time is another story

53:13.320 --> 53:19.740
But yeah definitely changes things up a little bit. I mean, I think we really need to figure out what?

53:19.740 --> 53:23.880
NASA is doing we need to figure out like once again it's called concept of

53:23.880 --> 53:27.980
operations or con ops yeah we got to figure out the con ops for that mission

53:27.980 --> 53:31.860
before we can kind of figure out what the custom with the commercial customers

53:31.860 --> 53:35.180
or the commercial providers not customers are gonna do with the landers right

53:35.180 --> 53:42.380
like yeah I wouldn't be surprised if NASA is sort of hoping to see what both

53:42.380 --> 53:47.180
blue and SpaceX do in the next month right because blue has the upcoming

53:47.180 --> 53:51.620
third launch of New Glenn and you've got also flight 12 with Starship and yes

53:51.620 --> 53:55.820
they are not neither of those launches are in support of HLS or or anything like

53:55.820 --> 54:00.860
that but their success plays into what's going to happen next right because many

54:00.860 --> 54:05.020
launches from now on New Glenn is going to do the launch of Blue Moon Mark 1 but

54:05.020 --> 54:12.420
that first sort of uncrewed it's an uncrewed lender right and it's also

54:12.420 --> 54:16.580
like a smaller version of the one that they are actually using for for the

54:16.580 --> 54:23.180
first landing, which is supposed to be sort of like a mix in between Mark 1 and Mark 2.

54:23.180 --> 54:26.060
So you've got that, and then you've got Flight 12, right?

54:26.060 --> 54:29.260
Flight 12, first launch of version 3.

54:29.260 --> 54:33.420
You hear a mid, for example, yesterday, talking about how many things are in progress for

54:33.420 --> 54:34.420
Artemis 3.

54:34.420 --> 54:38.260
I mentioned that, obviously, the beauty in version 3 of Starship is critical for the

54:38.260 --> 54:45.860
agency to ensure that in the future, this version is what HLS will be modeled on.

54:45.860 --> 54:50.820
like, HLS is just going to be another variant of the version 3 ship.

54:50.820 --> 54:55.340
And so if it works, then that can give you a lot of confidence on the future of the timeline

54:55.340 --> 54:57.340
for HLS.

54:57.340 --> 55:05.340
And I think that's probably what's going to dictate the sum of that concept of operations.

55:05.340 --> 55:12.380
Like I feel if Starship goes well, maybe they will try the higher orbit variant, right?

55:12.380 --> 55:14.580
Where they go into that higher orbit.

55:14.580 --> 55:19.020
And then they, you know, that drives the use of, of the ACPS and the ESL is like that decision

55:19.020 --> 55:23.820
drives a lot of things in there because you probably need a few refuelings of the HLS,

55:23.820 --> 55:27.940
but not as many as, you know, all the ones that they need to go down to the surface of

55:27.940 --> 55:28.940
the moon and all that.

55:28.940 --> 55:31.820
There may be one or two and that's it, right?

55:31.820 --> 55:38.340
Like all of those sorts of things are pending a good flight of both Starship and

55:38.340 --> 55:45.020
new Glenn so that they can advance to a different sort of planning with that mission.

55:45.020 --> 55:51.100
And I'm going to be surprised if before the start of summer, we hear some more concrete

55:51.100 --> 55:57.660
information about that.

55:57.660 --> 56:00.980
Is that the liquid oxygen tank almost loaded?

56:00.980 --> 56:01.980
Yeah.

56:01.980 --> 56:03.380
It's almost full.

56:03.380 --> 56:07.460
Like they say, this is fast ship load.

56:07.460 --> 56:15.220
loaded this so far in like 17 minutes. So yes, I actually think booster will be

56:15.220 --> 56:18.780
loaded in 30 minutes and ship will be loaded in 20 minutes when it comes to a

56:18.780 --> 56:24.060
full stack. I can't wait to see the timeline for flight 12 or what a wet

56:24.060 --> 56:28.100
dress rehearsal looks like. It's gonna be hilarious.

56:28.940 --> 56:34.620
Anyway, well if it's static fire we'll see it that's for sure. Oh yeah,

56:34.620 --> 56:38.060
If it's a screen prime, it's going to be a lot difficult.

56:38.060 --> 56:40.900
It's going to be very, very hard to see him.

56:40.900 --> 56:47.540
A possible T0 could be in like 10 to 12 minutes,

56:47.540 --> 56:52.220
give or take, somewhere along those lines.

56:52.220 --> 56:56.140
So basically, they spend the next five, some odd minutes

56:56.140 --> 56:56.900
topping off.

56:56.900 --> 56:58.820
They check out systems.

56:58.820 --> 57:01.460
We'll probably see the flaps go flappy.

57:01.460 --> 57:02.460
Remember that?

57:02.460 --> 57:03.460
That indicator, Alex?

57:03.460 --> 57:10.460
They did it yesterday, I know that.

57:10.460 --> 57:13.740
Are the flaps hooked up to the structure?

57:13.740 --> 57:14.740
I forgot.

57:14.740 --> 57:17.220
As far as I know, no.

57:17.220 --> 57:20.900
So nothing is hooked up to the hogging structure?

57:20.900 --> 57:21.900
Sorry, yeah.

57:21.900 --> 57:28.300
It's not hooked up to that, just the QD on the QD gantry.

57:28.300 --> 57:32.140
So they're only using that for cryo then, right?

57:32.140 --> 57:36.020
Because that was only used as far as I know.

57:36.020 --> 57:38.020
They only use it for S39.

57:38.020 --> 57:40.180
I assume since it's staying around

57:40.180 --> 57:43.940
and all the flat testing hardware has stayed,

57:43.940 --> 57:50.060
I would not be surprised if they tested S ship 40,

57:50.060 --> 57:51.460
which should be the next thing to come.

57:51.460 --> 57:56.820
As soon as 39 leaves, 40 is not likely far behind it,

57:56.820 --> 58:02.620
to just say that, Forty will go into, will go onto the stand as well, and they may, they

58:02.620 --> 58:05.940
may do some flap testing with Forty as well, I don't know.

58:05.940 --> 58:09.580
But I know that they, I think they're turning that structure into a more permanent like

58:09.580 --> 58:13.020
access structure because they have a work platform that's like right around the payload

58:13.020 --> 58:14.300
bay area.

58:14.300 --> 58:18.980
So much better than the lifts that they used to use.

58:18.980 --> 58:19.980
Yeah.

58:19.980 --> 58:20.980
Yeah.

58:20.980 --> 58:23.660
Yeah, a little bit, right?

58:23.660 --> 58:26.660
I'm going to plow through some support here, boys.

58:26.660 --> 58:30.040
that we got tell star eighty six

58:30.040 --> 58:34.820
coming soon to steam starship washing simulator with paid do with pat deluge

58:34.820 --> 58:38.360
dlc all right let's go home

58:38.360 --> 58:39.800
i mean

58:39.800 --> 58:42.260
tell sir i play that i'm not that i'd play it

58:42.260 --> 58:43.060
i'd do it

58:43.060 --> 58:44.100
i'd give a shot

58:44.100 --> 58:46.660
not a lot of you

58:46.660 --> 58:50.260
so don't spicer when you got here this is prime take watching thank you and i

58:50.260 --> 58:53.540
sat the new era begins five dollars to check the add to it

58:53.540 --> 58:55.060
this is good stuff

58:55.060 --> 58:57.020
Thanks, thanks, man, we appreciate it.

58:57.020 --> 58:59.780
All right, we got S-Bellis 67.

58:59.780 --> 59:02.220
What happens to HLS after it delivers astronauts

59:02.220 --> 59:03.620
back to lunar orbit?

59:03.620 --> 59:08.300
See, that's another, I'm thinking you're asking like,

59:08.300 --> 59:10.140
Artemis, like what we're talking about,

59:10.140 --> 59:12.020
Artemis-4 here now.

59:12.020 --> 59:12.980
Ryan, you want this one?

59:12.980 --> 59:13.820
What do you think?

59:13.820 --> 59:14.660
What do you think?

59:14.660 --> 59:17.100
You think SpaceX is gonna try to use it?

59:17.100 --> 59:18.740
Hey, flop testing.

59:18.740 --> 59:20.220
Oh, flop testing.

59:20.220 --> 59:22.620
That could be the T minus 10 minute mark,

59:22.620 --> 59:26.780
So, 440 or so, there you go.

59:26.780 --> 59:27.900
All right.

59:27.900 --> 59:28.740
All right, hold up.

59:28.740 --> 59:30.380
So you've got 10 minutes.

59:30.380 --> 59:31.660
Two minutes or that.

59:31.660 --> 59:33.700
You've got 10 minutes.

59:33.700 --> 59:36.660
My whole thing is like, OK, it goes back to the lower ground.

59:36.660 --> 59:38.420
How much prop does it have left in it?

59:38.420 --> 59:43.140
Is if it's got any little bit of prop in it, just burn it

59:43.140 --> 59:46.300
and send it out into the solar system from the moon.

59:46.300 --> 59:48.500
I hate it.

59:48.500 --> 59:49.500
I don't hate it.

59:49.500 --> 59:50.500
Yeah?

59:50.500 --> 59:52.820
My proposal is refueling and use it again.

59:52.820 --> 59:53.940
Yeah, I'm kind of with Alex.

59:53.940 --> 59:57.180
I mean, but what happens is either way, right?

59:57.180 --> 59:57.780
Yeah.

59:57.780 --> 01:00:02.420
The advantage is that, yes, it takes a lot of other flights, yes.

01:00:02.420 --> 01:00:05.340
Like you need to refuel first the ship in low Earth orbit,

01:00:05.340 --> 01:00:07.460
and then send it to lunar orbit and everything.

01:00:07.460 --> 01:00:09.060
But you don't need as much propellant,

01:00:09.060 --> 01:00:11.500
because now you're already in low Earth, in low lunar orbit

01:00:11.500 --> 01:00:12.660
or something like that, right?

01:00:12.660 --> 01:00:15.620
Like you don't need a fully fueled ship in that case.

01:00:15.620 --> 01:00:22.460
So, yeah, might as well have like a second shape or something like that, that sort of

01:00:22.460 --> 01:00:25.460
transits in between the moon and Earth.

01:00:25.460 --> 01:00:28.020
That actually has a heat shield, for example.

01:00:28.020 --> 01:00:32.740
And then you can do air capture and all that, and you don't have to do all the weird

01:00:32.740 --> 01:00:37.940
things like, you know, having to have a lot of propellant margins and things like that.

01:00:37.940 --> 01:00:41.820
You can just do air captures and that sort of thing.

01:00:41.820 --> 01:00:42.820
Yeah.

01:00:42.820 --> 01:00:44.620
That's a good question.

01:00:44.620 --> 01:00:49.740
Then we got back country bound. Heck yeah, man. Thank you for gifting the red team membership.

01:00:49.740 --> 01:00:55.220
We appreciate you. All right. So we said when they did the flap testing, that was T minus

01:00:55.220 --> 01:01:00.780
10 minutes, right, Ryan? Yeah, that should be around a T minus 10

01:01:00.780 --> 01:01:08.220
minute mark based off of block two era. We're doing that. Okay, we'll see.

01:01:08.220 --> 01:01:14.380
For those of you who remember seeing S37 and S38 out on the launch mount where they would

01:01:14.380 --> 01:01:22.380
do the flap testing at static fire, because what, I still remember it, we were doing that

01:01:22.380 --> 01:01:36.060
flap testing and then, what was it, I think it was, I'm trying to think here, we were

01:01:36.060 --> 01:01:44.580
They were doing the flap testing on S36 and then all of a sudden the ship blew up.

01:01:44.580 --> 01:01:47.060
It was like right after the flap testing, I think it was.

01:01:47.060 --> 01:01:50.420
I was just trying to correlate my thoughts right there.

01:01:50.420 --> 01:01:51.420
That was bad.

01:01:51.420 --> 01:01:53.420
But anyways, yeah.

01:01:53.420 --> 01:01:58.420
Don't worry, I knew what you meant.

01:01:58.420 --> 01:02:05.440
Okay, all right should be coming up near what a five minute mark now I think

01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:11.460
Seven yeah a little bit over or five minutes. It's it's funny because in the ticker below

01:02:11.760 --> 01:02:16.700
We've got when the potential spin prime for the booster happen. It's been just two hours

01:02:17.340 --> 01:02:18.780
Yeah

01:02:18.780 --> 01:02:22.340
Ain't no rest for the wicked dude. They got a complicated architecture

01:02:22.700 --> 01:02:24.820
To get NASA that lander

01:02:24.820 --> 01:02:32.140
So they got to go and I think I mean when actions speak louder than words message received from SpaceX. I think

01:02:33.940 --> 01:02:37.780
Well, what was it I think Caesar told me

01:02:39.380 --> 01:02:44.540
That the because I asked if if Masty's ever closed I asked him to tell me

01:02:44.860 --> 01:02:49.700
Caesar told me that he's closed at 2 27 p.m. So it's just before the sped prime

01:02:49.700 --> 01:02:54.900
So that tracks if they had literally just closed it that tracks from closer to near

01:02:55.380 --> 01:02:58.140
Near the test is about is usually about two hours

01:02:58.140 --> 01:03:03.860
It takes them about an hour to release to do the initial spin up of the system and then the full chill down to the

01:03:04.220 --> 01:03:05.940
To the actual

01:03:05.940 --> 01:03:07.940
Stand takes about another hour

01:03:08.140 --> 01:03:13.580
Or so or at least it takes about another half hour, and then I guess another half hour to load it and here we are

01:03:14.580 --> 01:03:16.580
like

01:03:16.580 --> 01:03:18.340
Here we are

01:03:18.340 --> 01:03:20.020
Crazy so

01:03:20.020 --> 01:03:25.820
You know Ryan you were talking about chill downs Alex you got you got like maybe five to six minutes here

01:03:25.820 --> 01:03:28.460
What why are we chilling down lines here? What does that mean?

01:03:29.620 --> 01:03:31.620
Well, you know

01:03:32.860 --> 01:03:34.620
It's it's basic

01:03:34.620 --> 01:03:38.860
basics and materials engineering and all that when you've got something

01:03:39.580 --> 01:03:45.180
That is sort of an ambient temperature, right and then you cool it down so quickly to like cryogenic temperatures

01:03:45.980 --> 01:03:47.380
everything

01:03:47.380 --> 01:03:51.080
Normally when you cool down things they tend to contract, right?

01:03:51.880 --> 01:03:52.840
and

01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:55.000
What happens is that if you do that too?

01:03:55.880 --> 01:04:03.480
To abruptly I don't know what what would be like to to sudden right that happens to sudden then the material can break

01:04:04.240 --> 01:04:10.020
Depending on on the material eventually if it's too too sudden every material breaks, right?

01:04:11.080 --> 01:04:16.260
Because you know there's no material I can really especially if it's too too too sudden

01:04:17.380 --> 01:04:24.100
that can really take that out. So what you do is just basically try and get it to the point where it's

01:04:25.140 --> 01:04:32.340
like you do instead of like a shock, right, like instead of being immediate that changing temperature

01:04:32.340 --> 01:04:38.020
you try to chill it down first by flowing a little bit of that liquid through first.

01:04:38.980 --> 01:04:44.180
So that in like a trickle sort of thing, sort of like when you open the tap just a tiny bit

01:04:44.180 --> 01:04:55.700
and it's drops of water. I tend to put the example of like, I'm a person that I cannot

01:04:55.700 --> 01:05:03.220
jump into a pool right away. I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of person. I go down to the edge

01:05:03.220 --> 01:05:08.980
and put my feet down and everything in the water and try to get used to how cold it

01:05:08.980 --> 01:05:13.580
is and all that. Similarly with this, it's trying to get the material down to those

01:05:13.580 --> 01:05:18.320
temperatures in a much more subtle way much more smooth way so that it doesn't

01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:25.880
really get you know destroyed by by that sudden changing in temperature mm-hmm

01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:35.800
don't want to shock anything right yep yep yep okay we're uh so chat you

01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:40.040
wondering what you're looking at you wondering what's going on here there

01:05:40.040 --> 01:05:46.360
SpaceX has spooled up masses here and we have propellants inside of ship 39 here

01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:51.400
now we did see the flaps on Starship start moving around that was about four

01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:56.900
to five minutes ago so we're just kind of see we're gonna see what they're

01:05:56.900 --> 01:06:04.040
doing here now legacy testing from previous Starships they've done like

01:06:04.040 --> 01:06:07.080
us what's called the spin prime first the spin prime is basically where

01:06:07.080 --> 01:06:08.960
They test the fuel pumps.

01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:10.960
They test to make sure that the plumbing works

01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:12.880
before you fire the rocket engines.

01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:16.080
So we're not 100% sure what we're gonna see here,

01:06:16.080 --> 01:06:20.320
but if heritage ship testing is anything,

01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:23.640
we should see something happen here

01:06:23.640 --> 01:06:26.360
in the next, I don't know, five, maybe six minutes.

01:06:26.360 --> 01:06:28.920
We'll see.

01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:31.320
I mean, once again, this is the first time we've watched,

01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:34.160
we've done tank watching with the Block 3 Starship

01:06:34.160 --> 01:06:35.000
on the test stand.

01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:39.360
So, you know, if it's a surprise to you guys,

01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:41.680
it's gonna be a surprise to us as well.

01:06:44.160 --> 01:06:47.720
So, yeah, we should be closer to like three minutes now

01:06:47.720 --> 01:06:48.560
at this point.

01:06:48.560 --> 01:06:49.880
Right, two minutes.

01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:52.600
Yeah, two minutes, all right, cool, cool.

01:06:52.600 --> 01:06:54.920
It looks like things are topped off.

01:06:56.560 --> 01:06:59.560
If you definitely, I don't think they're,

01:06:59.560 --> 01:07:01.080
they shouldn't be loading anything anymore

01:07:01.080 --> 01:07:03.160
based off of the subcooler vents.

01:07:03.160 --> 01:07:11.200
are definitely die down a lot. I don't know if there is like a purge vent near the end

01:07:11.200 --> 01:07:15.600
of this. I know there are a ton of different vents all around this stuff. I know there is

01:07:15.600 --> 01:07:20.680
a vent that is off of the new fluids bunker but I don't know if that is going to go before

01:07:20.680 --> 01:07:27.160
a test or not. I didn't see that last night. I don't know. We'll have to wait and see

01:07:27.160 --> 01:07:29.160
here, possibly of a move.

01:07:29.160 --> 01:07:31.160
And from looks quiet now, right?

01:07:31.160 --> 01:07:33.160
Yep.

01:07:33.160 --> 01:07:45.160
Which is a good sign. You want to start to spool down when you're getting close to a test.

01:07:45.160 --> 01:07:54.160
Well, let's see what happens. Let's keep an eye on the vehicle and the base of the vehicle, especially because that's where the action should be if something big happens.

01:07:54.160 --> 01:08:01.160
If it's a spin priming it might be a little bit more complicated to see anything down there, but hopefully we do get to see something.

01:08:01.160 --> 01:08:05.160
That's the hope at least.

01:08:05.160 --> 01:08:08.160
I'm hoping for single engine, but we might get an igniter.

01:08:08.160 --> 01:08:10.160
I'm hoping.

01:08:10.160 --> 01:08:12.160
We might also see igniter.

01:08:12.160 --> 01:08:14.160
I want to see fire today.

01:08:14.160 --> 01:08:18.160
Just in the right location and in the right way.

01:08:18.160 --> 01:08:20.160
Right.

01:08:20.160 --> 01:08:22.160
Yeah.

01:08:24.160 --> 01:08:28.060
Guys, the reason why we're not talking is because we're all locked in.

01:08:28.060 --> 01:08:30.540
We're staring at the bottom of that chip intently.

01:08:30.540 --> 01:08:31.540
I'm not even kidding.

01:08:31.540 --> 01:08:34.400
Yeah, my eyes will go dry, I think.

01:08:34.400 --> 01:08:35.400
Right?

01:08:35.400 --> 01:08:37.600
If I keep staring at this.

01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:40.480
All right, should be getting up onto the time now.

01:08:40.480 --> 01:08:47.200
Let's see what happens.

01:08:47.200 --> 01:08:48.200
Wait for it.

01:08:48.200 --> 01:08:50.280
Launch of 39.

01:08:50.280 --> 01:09:04.320
for it. Come on, do something. Come on, do something. What do we got? I had seen something

01:09:04.320 --> 01:09:19.120
on the left. I think it wasn't really. Yeah, it looks like one of the events on the right

01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:22.560
they're kind of kind of huge for a second but it stopped and it looks like it's

01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:30.920
intermittent at this point. Now Ryan if we do get a test but one that we cannot see

01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:35.680
we should expect like a depress from the ship within a minute or two after right

01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:42.160
because I'm seeing venting from the tanks. Did that be the depress of the

01:09:42.160 --> 01:09:48.400
ship? Unless that's that doesn't look like a depress that looks like pressure

01:09:48.400 --> 01:09:52.880
regulation because it's kind of going in and out in and out.

01:09:54.880 --> 01:09:59.880
I mind you it's far away enough that it's not like we can really hear munch

01:09:59.880 --> 01:10:04.400
from the vehicle. Yeah.

01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:16.240
Well something might have happened maybe or there in a hold or something

01:10:16.240 --> 01:10:19.560
But I think that's actually a depress,

01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:21.640
because that vent is still going.

01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:25.800
Yeah, the liquid oxygen vents, guys,

01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.040
is about midway up the ship, left-hand side.

01:10:28.040 --> 01:10:29.960
I see it turning on and off.

01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:31.400
Yeah, it's...

01:10:31.400 --> 01:10:34.200
Which, if you're a depress, they don't do that.

01:10:34.200 --> 01:10:37.880
That's a pressure regulation, not a depress, to me.

01:10:39.320 --> 01:10:41.280
Then let's wait and see what happens.

01:10:46.240 --> 01:10:58.720
So once again guys, it might be an igniter or a spin prime test in which case starship out at Massies has a flame bucket and it's in the ground and we can't really see it.

01:10:59.920 --> 01:11:10.000
If there's a static fire though, we will see that you'll see a bunch of smoke fly out on the left side of the screen because the deflector goes right to left on your screen here.

01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:16.040
So we're just kind of sitting intently like if it's a static if it's a static

01:11:16.040 --> 01:11:19.840
fire we're gonna see it if it's a spin prime or an igniter we ain't gonna see

01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:26.080
it you know Ryan like historically they usually do an igniter or spin prime test

01:11:26.080 --> 01:11:33.200
before they fire one right it would usually do a spin prime especially with

01:11:33.200 --> 01:11:40.560
with new engines. And the only reason why I say igniter is because of what they did with,

01:11:45.200 --> 01:11:49.680
I think that's deluge activation.

01:11:52.240 --> 01:11:57.760
I'm Ron Burgundy. Because I think I see venting off the deluge tanks.

01:11:57.760 --> 01:12:11.400
All right, let's see what should mean is it already ran? I don't know. Yeah, that was a day that was

01:12:11.400 --> 01:12:20.800
daily's depress. So daily's fired, but I don't know what happened. So days did go off because

01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:31.120
that's definitely the data is depress off those tanks. So whatever they did, we didn't really see it.

01:12:31.120 --> 01:12:37.400
But that means that feeds the igniter or spin prime test theory, I think at this point, yeah?

01:12:37.400 --> 01:12:44.120
Yeah, it could have been the igniters. I know we knew we know the igniters that for B-19 were

01:12:44.120 --> 01:12:50.240
pretty loud. I don't know how loud it would be for us for for 39 this far away.

01:12:52.400 --> 01:12:57.440
Unless yesterday was just a tanking test and today's today was the spin prime.

01:12:59.960 --> 01:13:06.120
But that's also the methane reclaim vent. So they might be already taking the

01:13:06.120 --> 01:13:07.760
methane.

01:13:08.400 --> 01:13:12.240
So I see a couple of people in chat asking what what would be an igniter

01:13:12.240 --> 01:13:16.320
test. Ryan, just clue us in for the for the new tank watchers out there. What's

01:13:16.320 --> 01:13:20.760
the igniter test versus the spin prime? Well, the igniters is, I mean, you're

01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:24.440
firing off the igniters, although we don't really know exactly what igniters

01:13:24.440 --> 01:13:31.560
they use on a Raptor 3 per se. It's certainly not torch igniters anymore,

01:13:31.560 --> 01:13:36.320
because they definitely don't make the sound that booster 19s igniters made

01:13:36.320 --> 01:13:45.200
when they went off. I know some have been thinking possibly acoustic igniters maybe,

01:13:45.200 --> 01:13:58.320
which is basically taking a tuned piece of metal or something and kind of using it to

01:13:58.320 --> 01:14:04.680
resonate and accelerate gases to like supersonic speeds and to like auto ignite them and stuff

01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:09.200
like that. It's kind of a cool concept. It's a kind of a thinking, but we don't

01:14:09.200 --> 01:14:15.800
exactly know what igniters they use. So they could have done a test with those, or

01:14:15.800 --> 01:14:21.440
they did a spin prime and yesterday was a tanking test. Honestly, there's really

01:14:21.440 --> 01:14:26.720
no way to know unless SpaceX tells us. We think we saw a possible spin

01:14:26.720 --> 01:14:29.720
prime yesterday, but the more you think about it, it could have

01:14:29.720 --> 01:14:33.800
also been the new purge that goes up into the aft bay of the ship. And

01:14:33.800 --> 01:14:37.400
and with the lighting conditions and how hard it is to see under the ship it's

01:14:37.400 --> 01:14:41.200
really hard to know exactly what they did so.

01:14:48.200 --> 01:14:56.040
But either way the I'll just say this the the deluge depress vent activated

01:14:56.040 --> 01:14:59.860
which means they did fire off the deluge and the methane reclaim vent is

01:14:59.860 --> 01:15:05.340
running right now which means they are likely detanking the methane so whatever

01:15:05.340 --> 01:15:12.900
they did they did it they're done with it and they're detanking so well Alex

01:15:12.900 --> 01:15:16.480
what is the deluge system do just you know like I'm trying to just you know

01:15:16.480 --> 01:15:19.580
it seems like we don't have a lot of you know if you we have a lot of tank

01:15:19.580 --> 01:15:22.780
watches have been here for a long time but just in case anybody's new to this

01:15:22.780 --> 01:15:26.580
stuff like I'm thinking will because probably had some people coming in

01:15:26.580 --> 01:15:29.420
interested for Martin was do wondering what's going on like why we're

01:15:29.420 --> 01:15:33.320
sitting here on a Sunday watching this thing this pointy thing sitting there

01:15:33.320 --> 01:15:38.720
what does the daily system do here Alex yeah well it's part of the protection

01:15:38.720 --> 01:15:42.000
right for the for the test stand you've got there the flame trench underneath

01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:47.560
the ship and you know whenever you fire the engines you need protection right

01:15:47.560 --> 01:15:53.160
and the water absorbs all of that heat and pressure from the engines at least

01:15:53.160 --> 01:15:58.640
the great majority of it the the flage trench itself still gets a beating

01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:04.480
right but the the water sort of attenuates a lot of that that force and energy and

01:16:04.480 --> 01:16:09.040
so you know the little bit that actually hits the the flame trench itself then

01:16:09.040 --> 01:16:12.040
that can take it right that's that's sort of the point because if you want to

01:16:12.040 --> 01:16:16.640
fire those raptors it would not be able to to take it without the deluge now

01:16:16.640 --> 01:16:21.160
what happens is that why would they fire the deluge then if they don't

01:16:21.160 --> 01:16:26.600
static fire the ship well sometimes you do that because it's part of your

01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:31.000
rehearsal, right, for the actual firing. You're testing all of the procedures, you're

01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:34.800
going down the line through all of the different countdown events, and one of them

01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:40.000
is also firing the deluge, right? That could be just one very simple reason

01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:43.520
why you would do that. We've seen that today, for example, with

01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:48.000
booster 19. They did not static fire the booster, but by all means it seemed

01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:52.400
to be pretty much like a rehearsal of what it will do on a static fire test,

01:16:52.400 --> 01:16:58.640
right? So maybe a similar thing happened today with with the ship. They did a spin prime yesterday

01:16:58.640 --> 01:17:04.560
and maybe today was a rehearsal or maybe they did an igniter test like Ryan was saying, right?

01:17:04.560 --> 01:17:10.240
Like there are things that they could have done with the engines that would not be super visible

01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:16.560
because again there's like the the ship stand, right? Where the ship is sitting right now.

01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:21.040
There's also the ship skirt itself where the engines are sort of covered around and everything.

01:17:21.040 --> 01:17:26.600
It's quite complicated to see and also it goes down to a flamethringer and so because

01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:32.220
of that, it also is much more complicated to see what's going on there.

01:17:32.220 --> 01:17:33.220
It's much farther away.

01:17:33.220 --> 01:17:38.920
There's like a billion different things I can tell you why it's much more complicated.

01:17:38.920 --> 01:17:44.760
It's not like it's rocket science or something, right?

01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:46.320
It's rocket surgery, yeah.

01:17:46.320 --> 01:17:48.840
Yeah, yeah.

01:17:48.840 --> 01:17:55.160
know, just every single, like facet of engineering all being rolled into one, because you know,

01:17:55.160 --> 01:17:58.280
how much difficulty do you want? All of it, right?

01:17:58.280 --> 01:18:04.960
Can we, maybe I'm making a lot here. Jay, can you look at Space Coast Live for a second

01:18:04.960 --> 01:18:10.000
of 39A? I want to point out something, and maybe Ryan can help me out. Are they testing

01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:12.920
the Starship Tank Farm? No way.

01:18:12.920 --> 01:18:14.960
Where? Wait, what?

01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:23.760
venting at 39a beyond where the Falcon 9 pad is. It's sort of where they have the tank

01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:29.200
farm stuff. You see where the transporter detector is? You see those clouds coming up?

01:18:29.200 --> 01:18:30.200
Oh yeah.

01:18:30.200 --> 01:18:34.000
I'm testing the tank farm for Starship at 39a.

01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:36.320
Geez, they might be.

01:18:36.320 --> 01:18:40.640
I'm trying to think, um, uh, standby.

01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:50.160
Uh, I need to grab pictures to orient myself onto where that actually is.

01:18:50.200 --> 01:18:51.920
Give me, give me a moment.

01:18:53.000 --> 01:18:55.520
I think it's in the right direction for the, for the starting tank form.

01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:58.840
I think it is long, but you may have a minute.

01:18:59.880 --> 01:19:00.160
Yeah.

01:19:01.360 --> 01:19:01.520
Yeah.

01:19:01.520 --> 01:19:04.640
The reason why I was, I was looking at that folks is because somebody was

01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:11.480
sharing in our back channels that the was called Blue Angels did a flyby of the

01:19:11.480 --> 01:19:16.280
pan and in that same picture I was like wait what's that and there was venting

01:19:16.280 --> 01:19:21.320
over the the Starship pan and not paying attention all to the planes because I

01:19:21.320 --> 01:19:25.320
was like wait wait wait that's different that that's not there normally

01:19:25.320 --> 01:19:31.920
right so that made me go to Spaceco's live and then I saw the venting still

01:19:31.920 --> 01:19:37.920
going on and I was like, wait, that's not usually where venting is. Like the the the

01:19:37.920 --> 01:19:43.720
pad systems for Falcon 9, the liquid oxygen tank for me sort of to way to the left in

01:19:43.720 --> 01:19:49.520
this point of view. So yeah, the only thing that that will be cryogenic and venting in

01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:53.520
that direction will be anything related to to Starship.

01:19:53.520 --> 01:20:04.520
So we are looking, okay, I'm just trying to get my bearings using similar pictures.

01:20:04.520 --> 01:20:11.520
So while you're doing that, on the right, we have Starship and on the left we also...

01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:13.520
We also have Starship.

01:20:13.520 --> 01:20:16.520
All right, all right.

01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:18.520
Jay has the replay here.

01:20:18.520 --> 01:20:22.520
This is a replay from we think seeing the daily was just on fire.

01:20:22.520 --> 01:20:25.760
fire we got to look in the bottom left here all right let's send it what do we

01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:32.880
got oh yeah yep absolutely dude bottom left look at that see so it's behind

01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:36.680
those plants as if you look at the bottom left there's some with what's

01:20:36.680 --> 01:20:43.800
impress yeah yeah yeah was was that the vendor that I said oh or is one after

01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:47.960
that. Because I saw a vent to the left and it was like, oh,

01:20:51.240 --> 01:20:53.520
yeah, it was weird to me.

01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:57.840
I mean, the other thing that go ahead, Ryan.

01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:04.120
No, I'm just saying it's it's really hard to tell, but that

01:21:04.120 --> 01:21:05.240
venting

01:21:07.360 --> 01:21:11.000
could be coming from the methane side of 39 A.

01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:18.680
Oh, you're talking about what's going on at the Cape so you got me to look at it two different things. No, no, it's good

01:21:20.240 --> 01:21:25.300
So this is what that's what I was trying to say Ryan was going and looking at he's looking at him right now

01:21:25.300 --> 01:21:28.160
He's looking at a map of the tank farm with a magnifying glass going

01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:34.340
Where does that they come? Yeah, they gotta get ready. They gotta get ready at Starship pad for for Starship

01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:36.840
Here hopefully it could be I

01:21:37.360 --> 01:21:40.500
mean the problem is is with our angle

01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:50.520
that covers either the LN2 or the methane side, I think, that could be that main vent

01:21:50.520 --> 01:21:58.240
in the center that the LN2 tanks. I don't know. They might be offloading stuff and that's

01:21:58.240 --> 01:22:04.280
what we're seeing. I don't think they'd be actually testing it. They still got a

01:22:04.280 --> 01:22:08.640
long ways to go before they run that, but they could be far enough along with one

01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:14.260
side of the tank farm that they're actually able to run liquid through but just not run

01:22:14.260 --> 01:22:19.380
it to the pad, which they did a lot at Starbase for pad 2.

01:22:19.380 --> 01:22:26.560
So they might be running liquids, whether it's LOX or LN2 or something, they might

01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:32.080
be running it through pumps and sub coolers just kind of run in the system.

01:22:32.080 --> 01:22:38.080
I see people already going into SEL chat, into the Spacecos live chat, hi Cody.

01:22:38.080 --> 01:22:44.080
I don't know, it's really there to tell.

01:22:44.080 --> 01:22:49.080
That's why you should keep watching that. You should have it on a different tower or something and chiming.

01:22:49.080 --> 01:22:51.080
I don't have another monitor.

01:22:51.080 --> 01:22:54.080
Or another monitor, yeah. If you can hear that, sure.

01:22:54.080 --> 01:23:01.080
Here at NSF we are pros at monitoring the space situation. We are the best monitors of the space situation.

01:23:01.080 --> 01:23:03.200
as you can see what you see on your screen here.

01:23:03.200 --> 01:23:06.080
So on the right, we have SpaceX's test in

01:23:06.080 --> 01:23:07.520
with ship 39 testing.

01:23:07.520 --> 01:23:11.520
That's in Southern Texas and on the left, that's 39A.

01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:13.000
That's pad 39A at the Cape.

01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:15.840
So on the widest Texas on the left is Florida.

01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:18.920
The reason why we're going, oh, oh, oh, it made some smoke.

01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:22.400
It did a thing is because SpaceX is working

01:23:22.400 --> 01:23:25.160
on a Starship pad at complex 39A.

01:23:25.160 --> 01:23:28.120
That's just like, let's say just down the street

01:23:28.120 --> 01:23:30.160
from where we saw Artemis II take off

01:23:30.160 --> 01:23:32.640
last week or two weeks ago

01:23:32.640 --> 01:23:34.200
two weeks ago

01:23:34.200 --> 01:23:35.920
so

01:23:35.920 --> 01:23:38.920
you know i i was often telling people uh... you know i got asked a lot during

01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:41.320
the arid was too coverage is like why aren't they landing on the moon why are

01:23:41.320 --> 01:23:42.800
they landing on the moon

01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:44.880
well the landers are ready yet

01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:47.920
but on the left side of your screen guys really got the pad that's going to

01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:50.920
launch the lander so if that thing is twitching right we're going to be

01:23:50.920 --> 01:23:52.400
like what what

01:23:52.400 --> 01:23:53.720
hey hello

01:23:53.720 --> 01:23:56.800
hey i don't know what it is

01:23:56.800 --> 01:24:05.120
I still want to add that the caveat into this is that the 39A pad is still about six months

01:24:05.120 --> 01:24:08.440
behind pad 2 at Starbase.

01:24:08.440 --> 01:24:13.720
There's still a ton of tanks that need to be delivered and installed.

01:24:13.720 --> 01:24:15.880
They need to finish installing the hoods.

01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:20.120
There's still a lot of service structure work to install.

01:24:20.120 --> 01:24:25.680
They need to bring the IB proofing or build a new one and test all the clamps.

01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:28.780
They still have to water bag test the sticks.

01:24:28.780 --> 01:24:30.020
I know they have at least,

01:24:30.020 --> 01:24:33.100
I think they might have an actuator installed.

01:24:33.100 --> 01:24:36.060
They might have lifted one a little while ago.

01:24:36.060 --> 01:24:40.300
There's still a ton of work to be finished on this pad

01:24:40.300 --> 01:24:41.540
before it launches anything.

01:24:41.540 --> 01:24:43.100
So I just want to put that caveat in there.

01:24:43.100 --> 01:24:45.900
Hopefully it'll be ready to go by the end of the year.

01:24:45.900 --> 01:24:48.100
But of course we have to wait and see.

01:24:48.100 --> 01:24:49.980
And then of course it needs a vehicle.

01:24:49.980 --> 01:24:52.220
And Starbase is the one that has to build them

01:24:52.220 --> 01:24:54.020
because they can't build them at the Cape right now.

01:24:54.020 --> 01:25:00.980
not yet, they don't have a factory there, so, you know, I'm working on it. I'm working on it. Rome

01:25:00.980 --> 01:25:09.060
wasn't built in the day, but Pad 2 was. No, no. Yeah, that could be the lock side running and they're

01:25:09.060 --> 01:25:16.100
running the pumps that they've got installed. It's possible that they're doing that. It depends

01:25:16.100 --> 01:25:22.580
on how hooked up it is, but of course the only images we usually get these days are maybe

01:25:22.580 --> 01:25:28.300
sad images or anything, or a really low angle, long range,

01:25:28.300 --> 01:25:31.620
low angle, flyover shots, which kind of makes it hard

01:25:31.620 --> 01:25:33.180
to distinguish some things sometimes.

01:25:33.180 --> 01:25:40.220
But and we haven't had a Falcon launch at 39A in a while

01:25:40.220 --> 01:25:42.460
to give us a view of it.

01:25:42.460 --> 01:25:44.620
So hopefully that changes in like what, two weeks?

01:25:52.580 --> 01:25:59.440
All right, so if you're watching you've been watching tank watching with us here

01:26:00.140 --> 01:26:06.160
We are we've been covering what SpaceX is doing with booster at 19 and ship 39 down at

01:26:06.780 --> 01:26:12.100
Down at the Texas testing and launch site that noted colloquially colloquially known as starbase

01:26:12.100 --> 01:26:15.340
Oh, man, I nailed it on the second try that's sweet colloquially

01:26:16.060 --> 01:26:20.540
All right, so we've been doing some we watching them do some testing down there. They did

01:26:20.540 --> 01:26:26.620
They did do some testing with the booster a little bit earlier in the day at 2 30 local time and now

01:26:27.380 --> 01:26:33.020
4 30 was but it was about 4 45 when we saw that deluge test go off something like that

01:26:33.100 --> 01:26:35.420
They did do some testing with the booster as well

01:26:38.980 --> 01:26:43.300
No, we know what it is what it looks like at my yeah, that's my guess. Yeah

01:26:43.300 --> 01:26:52.100
Hopefully, maybe tomorrow's doubleheader, if they do a doubleheader again, maybe tomorrow

01:26:52.100 --> 01:26:55.180
is igniters on both.

01:26:55.180 --> 01:26:59.340
And then the day after that, maybe it's like a 13 engine and then a single engine static

01:26:59.340 --> 01:27:00.340
fire.

01:27:00.340 --> 01:27:05.220
And then maybe after that, the doubleheader is a 33 engine and a six engine static fire.

01:27:05.220 --> 01:27:08.940
Maybe we're just going to get doubleheaders for the rest of the time going through.

01:27:08.940 --> 01:27:15.100
And the extra test that 39 did was the commissioning of the methane tank farm, like with booster

01:27:15.100 --> 01:27:16.620
19 original time around.

01:27:16.620 --> 01:27:17.620
So I don't know.

01:27:17.620 --> 01:27:22.140
I'd be totally fine with these double headers, but that's some long streams.

01:27:22.140 --> 01:27:23.140
possibly.

01:27:23.140 --> 01:27:26.420
Well, that's what we do here at NSF.

01:27:26.420 --> 01:27:31.780
If you're wondering, guys, you know, we're our time time with the ears closed and

01:27:31.780 --> 01:27:35.720
closed and down because I can't think straight, not going to lie to you.

01:27:35.720 --> 01:27:38.920
But if you want to keep watching the action, we do have live channels.

01:27:38.920 --> 01:27:42.880
We do post about what like any action that you might see on social media, right?

01:27:42.880 --> 01:27:47.680
We're out, we're out there on X, we're out there on, you know, we obviously have the

01:27:47.680 --> 01:27:51.400
YouTube, EllisR has all the socials, he brings up the social game, Instagram, Facebook.

01:27:51.400 --> 01:27:53.680
We got, we got all the good stuff up there.

01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:57.920
Uh, we'll, we'll tell you about what's going on, or if you want to watch this live,

01:27:57.920 --> 01:28:01.320
you want to just do your own tank watching without hearing my annoying voice.

01:28:01.320 --> 01:28:04.720
You can do that on, uh, with Spacecoast Live.

01:28:04.720 --> 01:28:08.800
We have, we have Spacecoast Live, we have Starbase Live, we have McGregor Live.

01:28:08.800 --> 01:28:14.480
So, Space Coast is whatever's going down at the Cape, Cape Canaveral, right?

01:28:14.480 --> 01:28:18.120
Starbase is what you see on the screen, whatever's going on at Starbase, the McGregor SpaceX's

01:28:18.120 --> 01:28:22.360
test sites where, Alex, I do believe we saw one of those test stands void itself the

01:28:22.360 --> 01:28:23.360
other day.

01:28:23.360 --> 01:28:24.360
Yeah, yeah.

01:28:24.360 --> 01:28:29.800
Thankfully, they have a couple of other test stands with also two test stands.

01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:35.000
So, two test stands with two bays each, so they still have like four different

01:28:35.000 --> 01:28:36.520
locations to test.

01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:39.440
They've gone from six to four basically.

01:28:39.440 --> 01:28:46.080
It's not a huge deal in that sense and they've received testing afterwards so it didn't

01:28:46.080 --> 01:28:49.960
seem to be that big of a deal in terms of the testing cadence.

01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:55.520
But yeah, EJ and I will point out the live stream for tomorrow is already in our channel

01:28:55.520 --> 01:29:01.520
so go out there to the live tab and click the notification bell because when we go live

01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:04.520
tomorrow you probably want to be notified.

01:29:04.520 --> 01:29:18.520
Yeah, yep. Yep. So I think that we might be done with action here for the day with the ship. So that is that that is time to wrap Ryan. Thanks for being with us. This was great.

01:29:18.520 --> 01:29:26.520
Yeah, pleasure as always. I'm going to go try to get some food and then I got to work tonight. So this. Yeah, I do need coffee.

01:29:26.520 --> 01:29:33.520
You need coffee, lots of it.

01:29:33.520 --> 01:29:40.520
Ready to do it again tomorrow?

01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:43.520
Ready to do it again tomorrow?

01:29:43.520 --> 01:29:48.520
Sure, why not?

01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:55.380
how long I last. Either way, we are going to have testing of booster and ship for the

01:29:55.380 --> 01:30:01.520
next couple of days which is really awesome to say and it is both for the same flight.

01:30:01.520 --> 01:30:07.500
So Rimey tune in and watch with us. It is going to be a lot of fun.

01:30:07.500 --> 01:30:13.660
And Alex with Mad bars and rimes. Alex give us a rhyme before we leave, before we wrap.

01:30:13.660 --> 01:30:15.500
Rap before we wrap. Alex let's do it.

01:30:15.500 --> 01:30:18.980
bars on Mars. Well, take you out to a bar, I guess.

01:30:18.980 --> 01:30:23.740
No. Oh, oh, oh, oh, whatever.

01:30:24.660 --> 01:30:25.940
Alex, thanks for being with us.

01:30:25.940 --> 01:30:27.900
It's always when you listen to Rapture.

01:30:27.900 --> 01:30:29.340
Anyways, yeah, sure.

01:30:29.860 --> 01:30:34.660
I'll I'll be next here again, again, sometimes soon, I guess.

01:30:35.460 --> 01:30:36.900
We'll see.

01:30:36.900 --> 01:30:38.140
It's been a pleasure.

01:30:38.140 --> 01:30:38.980
You need. Yeah.

01:30:38.980 --> 01:30:41.100
No. And, you know, we had Chris B.

01:30:41.100 --> 01:30:44.900
hosting the stream a little bit earlier, and then we have Jay in the back end.

01:30:44.900 --> 01:30:48.000
pulling all the levers, turning all the knobs,

01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:50.340
and then Caesar out there.

01:30:50.340 --> 01:30:52.900
He's out there giving us that shot on the left here.

01:30:52.900 --> 01:30:54.540
Caesar, thank you very much.

01:30:54.540 --> 01:30:56.600
Anyway, we're gonna wrap this up here, guys.

01:30:56.600 --> 01:30:58.980
Once again, you can keep watching the live stream,

01:30:58.980 --> 01:31:01.940
you know, but you can't stay here.

01:31:01.940 --> 01:31:04.100
So, it's closing time.

01:31:04.100 --> 01:31:05.700
I've been EJ your host here.

01:31:06.820 --> 01:31:08.380
Don't, no, hey, we'll get claims.

01:31:08.380 --> 01:31:10.300
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

01:31:10.300 --> 01:31:11.140
You don't have to go home,

01:31:11.140 --> 01:31:13.180
but you can't stay here, all right?

01:31:13.180 --> 01:31:17.020
Hope everybody has a great Sunday, great rest of your weekend.

01:31:17.020 --> 01:31:18.660
Thank you very much for watching, guys.

01:31:18.660 --> 01:31:20.300
We're done for the day here.

01:31:20.300 --> 01:31:21.700
We gotta be back tomorrow.

01:31:21.700 --> 01:31:22.540
See you guys.

01:31:22.540 --> 01:31:23.380
Thank you.

01:31:23.380 --> 01:31:24.220
And cut.

01:31:24.220 --> 01:31:25.060
Good cut.

01:31:29.380 --> 01:31:30.540
And here we go.

01:31:30.540 --> 01:31:34.020
["Best of WJ's Ignition"]

01:31:36.500 --> 01:31:38.500
There's the WJ's Ignition.

01:31:38.500 --> 01:31:39.340
And...

01:31:39.340 --> 01:31:41.420
["Best of WJ's Ignition"]

01:31:41.420 --> 01:31:42.620
Well, right now.

01:31:42.620 --> 01:31:44.620
Did you see what I'm doing?

01:31:44.620 --> 01:31:45.620
Back to the room?

01:31:45.620 --> 01:31:47.620
Yeah, we're done.

01:31:47.620 --> 01:31:49.620
Put that in the big bag.

01:31:49.620 --> 01:31:51.620
Back to home, you don't have a lot of work to do.

01:31:51.620 --> 01:31:52.620
It's a good job.

01:31:52.620 --> 01:31:54.620
We'll start the perfect flow.

01:31:54.620 --> 01:31:56.620
Propulsion continues to be normal.

01:31:56.620 --> 01:31:58.620
We do have an observation.

01:31:58.620 --> 01:32:00.620
Keep with us.

01:32:00.620 --> 01:32:02.620
343 at both steps.

01:32:02.620 --> 01:32:04.620
It's orange!

01:32:04.620 --> 01:32:07.620
Water tower is in flight!

01:32:07.620 --> 01:32:09.620
Yeah!

01:32:12.620 --> 01:32:14.620
Bingo! Right in the center!

01:32:16.220 --> 01:32:18.220
Where's Jack? There it is!

01:32:18.860 --> 01:32:20.860
That looks surreal!

01:32:22.620 --> 01:32:24.620
That's not what we want to see!

01:32:26.140 --> 01:32:28.140
Oh my god!

01:32:28.140 --> 01:32:30.140
Thanks. You bet.

01:32:30.140 --> 01:32:32.140
We don't need any more of these.
