We're going to be talking about Starbase. We're going to be talking a little bit about Falcon Heavy and the upcoming mission on the 26th, and we're also going to be talking about SpaceX and whatever comes to our mind. So first, there's nothing happening at Starbase. No. And no testing happening.
Nothing happening at Starbase. There's a bunch of stuff happening at Starbase, but there's no testing, larger testing and like cryogenic testing or things that could close down the roadways for the foreseeable future. Closures were canceled for the 24th and the 25th of this week, so we're going to be moving on hopefully to maybe later this week, I'm 100% sure about that. But they already did some testing on Booster and they've already done a bunch of testing
on the ship. So it seems like the next step would be to maybe, I don't even know what the next step would be because they have the whole deluge system they have, the OLM is revamped. There's so many things that could happen and we don't know the procedure for that anymore. And last week we've seen testing on Chip 25, we've seen testing on Boosters 9 and 10. The Orbit launch mount also got tested fully. So we've seen the Dellage system. We've served like the new plane
at the bottom. We've seen the quick disconnects, both of them working, the obviously the chopsticks are working because they lifted up Booster 9 to put it on the launch mount. So it seems like it's a fully functional. Stage 0, it looks like it, but yeah, it seems like they're in a spot where they could what they know more now than they did before the first launch. It seems like they've got the processes figured out.
They have, They've streamlined a lot of the processes because they need to be able to crank these things out. They want to launch two or three a day at some point. It would be nice to see that they'll be insane. I wouldn't know what to think at that point. Yeah, it's pretty impressive to watch how the last three months, I guess it's been or so since the first one, since the first orbital attempt and all the changes.
And they're coming out of this way stronger than they went into it, and it should be really interesting to see. And as is typical with SpaceX, once they do something. Once they know they've got it and they move on to the next thing. So they've already launched this once. It didn't make it to orbit, had
some issues. But they were designed once so they know what they're doing and now they're just moving on to what the next stage, whatever that is, fixing the launch mountain and all those things tread looking into the hot fire situation, which I'm not exactly sure how that's going to stand out in the end, but we'll see. Yeah, the separate, the stage separation is going to be the most exciting part. The launch, I think they're going to be Okay.
I don't know. We're not 100% sure if they're going to be okay with that one, but the stage separation is going to be wild. But it's going to. If the engineers and everybody at SpaceX thinks that's the way to go, it seems like a really proper way to separate this thing because it is freaking massive. Yeah. Do you know, do you know if Booster 9 and Ship 25 are set up for that? I don't believe they are. I don't believe they're set up
for separation. Elon said something about it in a tweet, but I'm not exactly sure what he said about it or what booster or ship will be the first the for a separation like that. It might be they might have already set it up, but I like I've seen all the pictures and the videos and things of the booster I'm sure, but I'm. Pretty sure it's still in development stage, yeah. These two vehicles are designed for it. Yeah. It seems like a new thing where they're like, ooh, that didn't work.
Well, they'll probably want to test that at Massey's or something, but want to test the fire on the Dome to make sure that it's not going to melt through or whatever. Yeah, I'm trying to get it. I guess top to you. Yeah, I don't believe that's. I don't think these are set up for it, for sure. Yeah, I don't think so either. Like, you and I were talking before the broadcast started about the massiveness of this rocket and how, like, how big.
And I always say it like every time I get online, I'm like, this thing's freaking huge. Yeah, but this shows. Think about how big your car is and how big you are, and then look at the scale of this compared to a vehicle, like just a regular car. It's absolutely massive. So absolutely, so crazy. It's it still blows my mind. Like I like I've seen in person, so I know how big it is. But just even seeing pictures of it, I'm like okay. This reminds me of how big massive it is to think about
launching A skyscraper. They're basically launching A skyscraper to orbit and how do they do that 33 Raptor engines and that works like. That's a lot of fuel. That's a lot of awful lot of fuel, awful lot of thrust, and they made it off the pad last time. So the deluge system was tested. We know that. We know the deluge system was tested. Are they going to do you think they're going to do a static fire with the deluge system to test this deluge and the static
fire at the same time? Absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. I was just thinking about that well before we went on as well. Yeah, I think that every static. Fire from a booster. From now on, we'll have the deluge running. Yeah, I think so too. I think it's ongoing testing as well as protection of the launch map. Yeah, and as long as obviously the village system works and it doesn't completely need to rip it apart, I get to the country class, the skip real, real quick.
Back to how big this thing is. Rocket Future. Andrew C at the Rocket Future on Twitter, you can see a person. This is the this is like 1/4 of the way up this thing. Yeah, and what a beautiful shot. A great shot, yeah. And I don't even understand how these people have the nerve to get into this lift, for one, because I'm afraid of heights. I'm not sure exactly what ship he's working on. But two, and then they have to do, like, one of the world's most complicated engineering feats.
So they have the pressure of, Oh yeah, I'm 150 feet off the ground or whatever. Also, I have to do these things that are crucial to get this thing off the ground and not blow up. So yeah, obviously that's the rocket. My gas in this Booster 10. I don't know why they would be. Have anybody up on one of the retired boosters, if you will. Yeah, my guess is that's Booster 10, but I haven't confirmed that. We just saw that picture just before we go on.
Yeah, shout out to anybody that that goes up in these things. And shout out to Andrew. See from the Rocket Future for taking beautiful shots repeatedly at Starbase. So at the Rocket future on Twitter, you'll follow him. Awesome dude. And also awesome shots. Booster 9, like we said was lifted up onto the launch mount. What a beautiful shot too. Like how cool is this? Yeah gorgeous. They got the shot from below and also all the stars above in the sky.
It's such a cool shot and the lighting on the launch mount it makes it look just illuminated and amazing and chopstick as you said before they work which is great. Apparently they seem to be working fine as can you notice the there's some cladding at the bottom of the launch tower too. See that There's some? It looks like there's some reinforcements at the. For sure, yeah. At the tower, it looks like. Yeah, they figured. All the plan actually was to clad the entire tower in
something. Whether it was going to be as protective as this is, I don't know, but to this certainly seems to be productive. I love this shot because it looks like there's camo drawn all over the Starship. Because of the shadows, I didn't even notice. That new Starship saying it looks like it looks really futuristic? Yeah, that's really cool. Yeah, I didn't even notice that. Wow. Yeah. And then there's another one they have from a little bit different angle.
But yeah, it's still the Texas night sky, which is absolutely beautiful. That's one thing that I can say about my time down there is that you could see all the stars, everything, because it was 25 miles away from Brownsville and everything else. You could look up and you could
see everything. I would spend some nights down there just to get away from the the lights of the city and I would just go to the beach late at night, just hang out, look at the rocket and just just stare up at the stars. I would just lay on. I didn't really lay on the sand because it's you get sand everywhere. And of course it's just like Anakin knows it's everywhere. It gets everywhere and it's coarse, it's coarse. So I lay on my car like late at night, look up at the sky and
just like, look over. Oh yeah, there's a big rocket there too. But it's a beautiful place, Yeah. And it's a great place to launch a rocket, too. Yeah, what a great shot, though. We're getting into the beauty of all of this as well because we're like, it's such a cool thing that Starship is going to be capable of in the future, bringing huge loads to space. And it's going to be, it's going to be wild what happens. And I'm not sure whether it's actually going to happen.
I don't know if it's actually going to happen, but once they've got this thing down pat and they're launching. Right, left and center. I hope that they put some attention to the aesthetics of it all. Certainly it's beautiful ship, all stainless steel and pretty, but it would be nice if we started seeing that science fiction future at some point right at once. They've got they're launching 100 of these a month or whatever they do want to do, they start to look into it and go.
OK, how can we make this not only functional, but look really awesome as well? Because. That's one thing that society's lost, I think, in the last 30 years or so is that aesthetics of things. But we're so concerned about making things as cheap as possible that we've we've made it as as industrial as possible as well. It'll be nice to get back to those circles, aesthetic values, up the 50s where you've got the streamlining or shapes and whatnot. It'd be cool to see that come back.
I didn't even think about that future. So do you think they would, Do you think they would paint the whole rocket or do you think they would just slap a logo on it? What do you how are you feeling about this? I don't.
Know what I'm thinking. I don't know what it is, but maybe the maybe the cladding over some of the plumbing on the booster gets a little bit of a a treatment where it's a little bit smoother or a little more aerodynamics, OK, as opposed to the sort of square bulky look that we've got now. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not responsible for that. If they want me to be responsible for it, I'm available. The moment I hadn't put too much thought into it.
Yeah, no, that sounds awesome. But I'm just going back to to, we were discussing them putting the, the cladding up the tower, right? Yeah, it's in all the drawings, but they never did it. Little things like that are even one step closer. Plus, we're talking about Starbase. He wants to build a city there, right? Yeah, that's to support all the the launches in construction. Whatnot's going on down there in development? It'd be nice to see Starbase.
Become a little bit more aesthetic than factory. Yeah. Yeah. I think how be you amazing. Make it a tourist destination right now it is. But it's like you got to really be end of this stuff to go down there. You got to sacrifice a little bit to get down there. Yeah, I think it's something Kennedy Space Center. It's a it's like Disney little bit.
People go there just to go see rockets and stuff that are interested in Space Flight and engineering and maybe just like the unknown people are like hey this is a giant rocket or hey, this is what Saturn does or whatever. There's engineering and science all over the place down there. So the I think this would be a really cool thing. Have tours of it when they're not actually launching or when they're not, whether or not testing, have a guided tour of the facility or something like that.
I don't know if ITAR would allow that, but you could have a guided tour along the road and show people hey, this is this, Bay does this, we're building this here, blah blah blah. It would also be really cool if they they can even do that on their socials instead of having people down there in person.
It would be really neat if Elon did a tour of everything like he did with Tim at the Everyday Astronaut, but he does it like for a produced video for SpaceX, which would be really cool and to show hey, this is what we do here now, but we want to do this here too. That'd be really interesting to see too. Absolutely have a manager or something. It doesn't have to be Elon, but Elon would get the most. Of it has to be Elon. Yeah, one of his clones. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe Gwen could do it.
That would be cool. Yeah. Yeah. They're not doing anything right. Yeah, Gwen's not doing anything. She's not. Don't mind coming out and do a tour for regular folk. Yeah, she's not building the future over there. Not at all. Yeah. So the Yeah, so the future starbase looks pretty bright in the next few.
I don't know. So they're so we were talking about the processes before and how they've streamlined everything, but do you think they've streamlined it to to a better place where they could launch this in August? I reached out to a few people on face or not on Facebook, but on on YouTube and on Twitter and a little bit on Discord.
And here's here's one person, old gamer noob on YouTube said the way the ship was tested with an engine static fire right off the bat, and with the booster now having already been fully filled with cryogenic liquids adventure, they'll unify some tests and make quick work of things. The FAA will be the main hold up this time, I think. So I have to agree that I think the FAA is going to be the last step. Of course I'm going to do Going to show that there it is right there, old gamer noob.
Yeah, I I I believe I'm on record several places back when the back when the first launch happened and we saw the damage. I said the weekend of August 19th for a for a launch and I still stand on that. I think we're still go on that. On a go on that if the FAA gave them permission today, I think they could probably attend the launch in a week. I think that they're at that stage, they need to static fire. They've already static fires 25 and they were happy they didn't
replace any Raptors and whatnot. Yep, they need to static fire 9. Booster 9 and I think that they could be ready to go right after that as long as everything was just was operating as it was. I think the hold up again will be as you say the FAAI think there was a lot of damage to the the compound as but as well as the a lot of concrete spread over the area around the launch
site. So I think that there's some concern there that they'll want to address and get answered and then they're likely doing that already from the day at launch, I'm sure they've been talking to. Yeah, and giving reports on everything they're doing to repair things and whatnot and prevent it from happening again. The future. So I don't think it's going to be as. Long a wait for the FA. To to secure this, but it's just a matter of time.
But yeah, I think that's a little less than a month we'll be launching this thing. Wow. Yeah. Stay by it. I stand by it. I think you're pretty right. I'm going to venture to say it's going to be a little bit later maybe. Septemberish, maybe. But Elon, even Elon was like, yeah, middle of August can be ready by the middle of August. And like you said they were talking to, they've been talking to the FA probably an hour, like within hours of the last launch. Within probably minutes.
Within the last launch. Like the FAA was probably on the horn. Hey, what just happened, buddy? That just blew everything out there and they had these steps in place before they launched the first one and like they had lots of rockets. Over the years. Lots of rockets over the years that have blown up on the launchpad. Yep. Causing all kinds of damage. Yep. It's just this is just another one. Yeah, and this didn't blow up in launchpad, it blew up the
launchpad. Same sort of deal, same kind of damage probably. I would imagine the only difference being that the tanks for all the cryogenic fluid and stuff were a little bit closer at the launch site than they were the Cape, I believe. But so that's probably the big difference here. I think that the. It's just a matter of time to get past these things. But it's happened before. And you know what?
They expected it to blow up in the sky, then they expected to get off the launchpad, and the FAA knew that. So it's just a matter of satisfying them and I think that that won't be hard at all. Yeah, I agree with you. I think. I think they like they're showing them all the data that they get as they get it.
They're showing them how were they're mitigating the problems that were on the pad and I think they'll just go, it'll break as much as they can, they'll breeze through this and then they'll be ready to launch. Now if the water deliard system and the static fire, static fires work perfectly the first time, they might do like A7 static fire like A7 engine and then a 14 or whatever and then go to 21 and be like can't
static fire everything. So now we're going to launch it, then they'll stack it up and do a fill test probably on both the rocket or the ship and the booster maybe like and then launch it up one more time just to make sure all the systems work and then. Yeah. Did they do a static fire with the ship, with ship 24 on top of eight? I don't think so, no. I don't think they did. Yeah, they were just. They don't do. I'm surprised they don't do that, to be honest. I am.
But I'm also, I totally understand why they don't, because if they do a static fire again one, it's almost like they're wasting time. I think because they've already done it. They've already tested those engines, and I've already tested all the systems. The only system that they wouldn't be able to test without the ship on top was like, is the ship going to fall off the booster? Yeah. And but that was part of the problem, right?
Is that it didn't release, yeah. So is there anything to be seen observed from a static fire and how those lock pins work while at some place I would like to see that and? They did it. They've already launched this once. We talked about this earlier. SpaceX is very happy doing things once, having it work and moving on and saying that's the way we're going to do it every time. Yep. They only they've only really landed one ship successfully. Oh yeah, you're right, they moved on.
They immediately move on to say we've done it, we're good. We did it. Move on. Yeah, yeah. And then you're going to need to prove that again. In my mind, but not in their minds. Apparently they've already launched the ship once in their minds. Is everything cool? Let's just go for it. Do they put 25 on top of nine and then statifier and then launch? I don't think. I don't think they need to. Yes, but as opposed to, I'm sorry, as opposed to Statifier 9 on its own.
Ooh, OK do they just? Jump to the launch, basically okay. So this is. I think this could be an issue because if they static fire with the ship on top of the booster, could the ship get rattled? Move out of place? They might have to readjust it. That's better point. Which is better than when it's in the air, yeah. I think that's the whole point of static firing with the ship on top is to see that that would make sense. Yeah, that would make 100% sense. Will SpaceX do that?
Probably not, because they're just like work last time. We didn't do it last time and it seemed to work. I don't know I can. I'm leaning more towards them not static firing 9 before the ship's on top center, firing it once and then launching. Oh like a 20 something odd. Engine static fire maybe? Yeah, something like that with the ship on top and this. Hey, it didn't fall out saying Let. Go, guys, Everything looks cool. Let's launch tomorrow. Yep.
That makes more. Sense, which is the standard process for Falcon launch as well, right? Yeah. Yeah, they put it on the thing, they static fire and then the next day or two they launch. Yeah, so the ship would be something like the like a fairing or something on a regular on a Falcon rocket. Just like the same thing, just a huge fairing. It's a second stage, right? Yeah, second stage, gigantic second stage. So that would make sense that
they do that. That's where they want to get to. I think that's where you have to get to eventually. It's the skips, what like a week and a half of testing because they do a static fire, then they like have to close down the roads. You have to get the data from that static fire, wait about 3 days or so, refuel it. That makes way more sense. Way more sense Will they do it for this one.
Yeah, but to say if not this one, then the next one, I bet they try and do it. Yeah, yeah, I I would love them. I didn't even think about that until you just said that. So my mind's going crazy, but it seems like they're just Wis. Just like straight through all these tests. This happened real quick. They already had the booster there. The ship. Yeah, Everything is being tested at Massey's beforehand. Everything's getting ready to roll. I don't. Remember when it was that?
Yeah, I don't remember when it was that my fear went away that the ship was going to implode when they're doing a cryo test, probably 6-7, maybe not seven, but maybe ship eight. That is when I started to think, OK, this thing's going to actually not going to implode and it's going to work and. I still it boggles my mind that we're talking about four millimeters of or five millimeters of stainless steel holding all this cryogenic fluid in place.
Yet at least I feel confident that it's not going to implode that of course Speaking of implosions, the test ship set of 27 that you can see the Dome top Dome of that imploded after the last testing. That is interesting. Obviously we're testing that to failure. They wanted. They wanted that to happen. Yeah, I think an implosion is better than an explosion in that case. Yep. I think they're probably quite happy with the results of that. Yep to this. Whatever they were testing,
yeah. Whatever they were testing. New steel or new systems or whatever happened to be, Yeah, I think they're yeah. And if they move past that, they'll have Ship 28, Ship 29. I don't even know how many ships are down there. Now I have I've lost count of which ships are down there and what boosters are of like readily available because I'm focusing on the ship that's going to launch and the other stuff that's happening.
It's super important. But also like it's off there somewhere and I think that's where everybody else is at too, is that this is an amazing feat that will happen. Like you said, Ship 10, Ship 10 head or not ship 10, but booster, they're doing the booster, all sorts of boosters and ships and testing everything. It's like, how can I keep track of everything? Yeah. And I'll just, I'll leave that space I have. An Excel spreadsheet. To be honest with you, they're probably yeah, yeah, they're
fine, They're fine. Yeah, I know that they're building Ship 30 right now. Believe they're setting that and it looks pretty slick, like it's starting to really look like they know what they're doing as far as the tiles go and all of that. It just happens now. And it's got a, it's got the. That would be insane even. I think it. We need to keep thinking that they're moving forward, right? We need to keep thinking that they're thinking, what's the next step?
This next ship's going to make it orbit. So next one after that why don't we throw some startlings up? May as well that that makes they have to move forward with the starlink program as fast as possible. They need to make money and getting eczema. What is it like 10 I think at the at this time for the regular like? Falcon Money Nine, Yeah, yeah, something like that for a Falcon launch. Like they're like throwing away money at this point when they can get like 20 or 30 in a Starship.
So does one Starship launch, even if it's an expendable Starship, which is probably going to happen for the next 10 starships, then at least get some star links up there and make the money back from the Starship launch? Yep. So yeah, make that money back, fund Starship and just keep going with it.
And that's how they're going to fund the Starship program going forward is I think with the Star Link launches and they also have, they have some customers like at Bay like just ready to launch on this thing, it's once it's ready to go. Once it's proven, yeah, Once it's proven and they know that they can get satellites into orbit, they know they can get heavy. They need a heavy lift rocket to get some stuff up there. I wonder.
If we see, I wonder if we start to see satellite companies building flat satellites that could be just has dispensed if you will as opposed to the traditional box shape. Satellite. Whether they start to compress them and make them fit out that door, that's a good idea. But maybe they can assemble themselves once they're launched or something like that. Yeah, like a the solar panels rolled out and whatnot, like how the James Webb telescope unfurled it. And yeah.
Exactly like that. It would certainly make everything less complicated. And you could put 15 Starlink and three regular satellites and this, that and the other just stack them. In order in the Starship and keep launching about as you need to. That'd be incredible. I'm trying to find at this point. Remember they had a PES, They had a Starship where the front opened like I was trying to find that graphic but I can't find. It that was what's in my head,
I'm thinking. I wonder if that even makes sense anymore. I don't Unless you're. Perhaps collecting an old satellite to fix it or just to get rid of space check or something like that. I wonder if that even makes sense anymore, whether the pest dispenser is the way the future for that sort of thing, because how big of a satellite you really need to launch these days with micro everything, right? Yeah, this thing is still going to be what's probably 6 meters wide, I would imagine.
At the very least, Yeah. And who? And that's probably. I don't know how tall the pest Spencer is, but probably a meter at least, if not more. Yeah, so 6 meters by 1 meter and then unfurls to whatever size you need. I don't know that you need a set weight larger than that these days. Yeah, everything's smaller. Now you can. We have the world's knowledge. So much in these box satellites they're sending up and the yeah, the cube sats and everything. Yeah, that's what I meant to say.
Same thing. They're a box. Yeah, so Speaking of satellites, this whole start Starship thing is predicated by the Falcon Heavy launch, so there's a readiness review happen for a target of Wednesday, July 26th for Falcon Heavy's launch of the Hughes Connects Jupiter 3E Star 14 said. Like why do they make these names? You got enough names? Come on, man. This kid somebody. Short of it, it's a communication satellite. Yeah, yeah, it's a communication satellite.
It's going to be the heaviest geostationary satellite ever launched at just over 9 metric tons. Wow size. It is probably not. No, I don't think they. I don't think they gave us. Any sort of size, it fits inside the basically 4 meter wide, I guess Probably 5 meter wide faring right? Yeah, yeah. So it it's quite large. I'm sure it's nine metric tons. The thing is like 9 tons for a satellite. What is in there? That's and this is supposed to be.
Graded all new technology, micro technology version of this, these types of satellites. This is the obviously the state-of-the-art communication satellite. Interesting that it's still that big. Yeah, not 9 tons. It's so how. What? A couple tons for a car? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Five cars based, yeah. Or maybe maybe five cars. That's how much it weighs. Like what's in this thing? We don't know. Like how much technology can you pack into this thing?
There's a KA band. It's a KA Band Satellite Multispot BMKA Band satellite based on the highly reliable SSL 1300 space proven platform which provides the flexibility to support a Broadway. In your head to you, dude. I'm just. I know IT and technology advances and I I just know some stuff. It features an entirely new architecture architecture based on broad range of technology advances, including the mini miniaturization of electronics. OK, miniaturization. 9 tons.
Does that make sense? They're still made of gold. Yeah, that features entirely new. Architecture best we did look this up. Yeah, the KA band is microwave band. Microwave range. That's how it's setting. Beaming things back and forth to Earth? Yep. So that's coming up on the 26th. That's going to be a pretty wild launch and they say approximately 8 minutes after launch Falcon Heavy side boosters will return to Earth and land on landing zones one and two. So we're going to take a look at
how that. Works. That's my favorite kind of landing for these. Yeah, side by side. So cool, man. Amazing. Keep in mind these things are seven story buildings, yeah, and they just gently place them back onto Earth. And it's so cool. I love how the legs open for last second. Everything's just so well timed. There's no, they don't cover anything. They just come down at a very consistent rate and settle down to Earth so beautifully.
Yeah. I mean target I So I think about these landings and then I think about Blue Origins landings and I'm always afraid when Blue Origin lands its booster because it bounces like these go like these do a little tiny shuffle and kind of little tiny sway but Blue Origins kind of like point, point point. And you're like and the clever like, They're not quite sure. Are we actually going to do this? And then instead of gradually, slowly, like lowering your booster back, OK, we get to the
last what, 7 feet or something? Those are. I don't know the actual size, but they're probably 1/4 the height of this. It's just completely different. Yeah. It's so cool, man. Like we we are literally living in the future. This is insane. This is something. Happening. Yeah, this is pretty normal. We expect these. Boosters of lands? No problem. Tomorrow. Yeah, something goes wrong. We'll be like. Whoa, yeah, you know, we'll have questions for months.
But yeah, And as you can see how big they are, you can see the architecture around it. These pipes are quite large. There's little buildings, there's there's fuel tanks, there's some ground systems here. All these things are quite large. But like you said, it's like a seven story building. Huge. It's gigantic. Massive, yeah. And they just hover down. Maybe you can see the top of the boosters. They have the. I forgot what they're called.
The the engines at the top that put the puff engines. What are they called? I can't remember what they're called, but why can't I think of that? The puff engines, So the little puff puffs at the top there that guide them in, I believe. It's called the. Yeah, yeah, you can see them guiding them in and they go real fast too. Like it's ridiculous how fast these systems go as you're landing A7 story building.
So yeah, absolutely insane. Absolutely crazy that this is actually happening again because Falcon heavies gigantic still but nine metric tons for a satellite that yeah makes sense. I don't know it's it's yeah it's made of lead Thor's hammers in there. I. Wonder how many more Heavy launches we have. Falcon Heavy launches? Yeah, Falcon Heavy launches. I wonder how many more there are left. Because yeah, I think Starship takes it over.
It's cheaper, I think, launch Starship than it is Falcon Heavy. I think so too. I think the usable I think three years. I mean I don't think they'll I don't think they'll retire it. I think it'll be there for specific use cases, but I don't think. I don't think we're going to see as many. I think 1 Starship is moon ready in the next few years. I think like the low earth orbit stuff is going to be no big deal.
So three years, you're thinking 6 launches, something like that, yeah, maybe, yeah, 5-6 launches and then that's it. Like, I think unless, like I was saying like there's certain use cases for it, but I don't see why Starship wouldn't be able to do those use cases as well. Starship. Would do everything this thing can do And tent that is more, yeah. And is it?
Maybe if there's something that's not big enough to go into a Starship, Something that's like just only needs a fairing for a Falcon Heavy. Or a Falcon. That's why I say you just pack it in, put it in the best dispenser and shoot it out as needed and send some more stylics up. SpaceX revolutionized rockets, so why wouldn't they revolutionize the delivery system as well? And if they're like, hey, if you want to launch out of Starship, you have to build your
architecture for our device. It's like your phone. Like, yeah, you're if you're going to build an app for a phone, you have to build it according to Apple's procedures. So if you're going to build a satellite for our rocket, you have to build according to our procedures. Yeah. Or you can use the Falcon Heavy. But it's going to cost you three times as much. Yeah. Planned obsolescence. Good job, SpaceX. Good job. They did it. Oh man, they did it. They're a tech company. They did it.
Steve Jobs would be proud. I can't wait for Starship to have some DLC. Oh yeah, $0.99 DLC is all. Right. Your satellite's up there Now. In order to launch it, we're going to need. $11 million, Yeah, we're going to be the million dollar subscription plan per month or you can buy the one year subscription plan for 11 months. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I think that's it for today. I think we covered everything we
want to cover. So what we got out of this is that maybe they'll stack a ship on top of the booster and static fire it. That's my take away from this is that might be a really interesting and exciting thing. And we're thinking a month or two for a launch. Yep. Yep. That'll be absolutely insane. I can't wait. I think it's going to be really cool. And I can't wait for the just. It's going to be the most impressive thing if it actually works. Yeah, very cool, man. Yeah, Same here.
All right, I guess that's it. Bye, everybody. I don't have a goodbye screen because we're doing. A different platform, Yeah. Thanks, Neil. Thank you for continuing to bring all this awesome info to all your fans. Yeah, thanks to all the fans. And thank you for helping out. And yeah, thanks to everybody for spending your time here with me today. Take care of yourselves and each other. Bye. Bye.
