Words cannot express how much I idealise this mans vision and ambition. By far one of the greatest minds that humanity has ever produced, in terms of his scientific goals and dreams, he is one of the most important men in human history.
I think I’m about to witness humanity’s greatness soon. He’s so close to putting one in orbit by this date. He’s given me ideas and a future to want to live in.
28:53 Elon Musk is talking about the emergency escape systems gas thrusters this is why he didn't talk about it in detail he realized he shouldn't have even brought it up because the starship has no emergency escape system..
X-plorer honestly though lots of businessmen doubt him saying "How will he make a Profit with this?!" while he doesnt even want to make a Profit he just wants to do cool shit because its awesome and He has the money to. Meanwhile being a hero to humanity and still profiting by a ton. and the fact that he is doing this for humanity is even greater. Most people just make companys for the sake of earning money and after they earned a couple Billion they just keep earning and the money piles up without a purpose. But Elon keeps going and spends all that money in a useful sense. (I hope you know what I mean im Bad with words)
Oh yeah, if SpaceX keeps up its lead in space it will be the first company to start mining asteroids...a practice that will make the first trillionaires. But I think the thing Musk is really looking forward to are having Martian Continents named after him (after we melt the ice caps and make oceans on Mars again) and having an asteroid carved into a giant Elon Musk statute that will orbit around the solar system forever. Because if this man really turns out to be one we needed to kick humanity off its collective arse and back into space...I think he deserves all of those things.
@Hilton Lange - I had the exact same thought when I watched the livestream. Can't believe Musk was so patient and sat through all the moronic questions answering them in a respectful way - how the toilet is going to work on Mars, the random dude who wanted to give him a comic book, the other guy who wanted to show him his car. It was completely insane.
The audience asked some extremely stupid or awkward questions, ranging from "Is Mars going to be a dusty shitstorm?" (actual words spoken) to "Can I give you this comic book?"
Earth is beautiful in only a few ways, and not forever. Our best chance of survival as a species is becoming an interplanetary race, and our best possible chance to get there is people like Jack Ruotolo who at least _try_ .
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people like to stroll through the park, some would like to hike along the alps, some would like to see the beauty of earth from the distance and like the tranquillity of space.
Yeah I don't think I'm being biased when I say he is one of the next geniuses next to Newton and Einstein both with Space X and obviously Tesla (the car company) well maybe i am but xP
I would not compare him to Newton and Einstein, as he is neither scientist nor a scientific genius, but he is an incredible manager and businessman. Nevertheless, If he succeeds in putting men on Mars, he will be remembered as Christopher Columbus of space exploration.
@@nancyendicott9047 There is probably a sub surface ocean, and you can heat it up pretty quickly (40 ~ 1000 years) also there is water ice at the poles, you can turn that into oxygen.
Well you need to start somewhere . But I agree his ideas is to foolish like going to talk about stage 10 (terraform and cities) when they not started or succeed on stage 1 (actual landing). They aim too high too soon first start with just a test run see if you can make it dangerous enough to begin with.
+jano Gabor - They've already completed a bunch of steps, including getting to orbit, returning from orbit (Dragon capsule), propulsive landing of an orbital-class rocket, they've extensively tested supersonic retropropulsion in Earth's upper atmosphere, and they've already tested the Raptor engine and built a carbon fiber LOX tank for the Mars spacecraft. In the next few years, they will relaunch a reused rocket, accomplish bringing humans to LEO, and likely will land cargo on Mars - by far the heaviest Mars landing of all time.
Yes I know sorry, expressed my self in a wrong way. I know what they achived but still think it is to long away to talk about it. There is still crucial technology needed to succeed. They have a way the reuse rockets a new engine a better tank but one thing is missing shielding for explorers. You don't want to send corpses to mars. (it is a little pricey human disposal) They need to really look out for radiation and other nasty things. One thing humanity learned from nature is to never look down on it. You need to prepare for the worst not saying "just a little chance of cancer" this is foolish there is a big dose of radiation in deep space and mars is not better.
Terraforming Mars is science fiction. We supposedly can't even control "climate change" yet we can terraform Mars to make it liveable?? That makes total sense
More accurately, the character of Tony Stark is originally inspired by (or based on) Howard Hughes. It's the movie version of Tony Stark that is inspired by (or based on) Elon Musk.

+Quite The Spice m8 yes I was thinking that when I watched the stream 😁 im 18 now and i would like to live on mars when a grew old i cant wait! Go SpaseX!!! ❤
Shame congress couldn't let NASA keep the budget they had in the Apollo era. If they had that every year up to now they would probably be on Mars by now.
@John Toas gigavolt strength electric field is capable of inducing several tons of thrust upon ions created as cascade ionization occurs within the atmosphere. Currently the highest voltage humans humans have generated is only 20 megavolts apparently. Voltage is the measure of joules per coulomb of charge. Increasing the voltage imparts more force per ion. A sufficient electric field strength breaks atmosphere free of electrons and each ion is accelerated enough to ionize with each collision called cascade ionization.
Scott Dann You are damn right. At the end someone will give Elon a shitload of loans .... printed out of thin air by our zion masters. And of course the starship will be named "ZION 666".
Not sure interplanetary war will ever be a thing, but it'll be interesting to see... :) I spose ideological or religious extremes could kick something off, but the usual resource grab style war on an interplanetary scale would soon go from too expensive to being redundant because, asteroids etc... Advanced civilizations will colonize suns with habitats, not planets, the gravity wells are just a massive pain..
Engineering is the application of mathematics, SCIENCE. The discipline of engineering is extremely broad, and encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied science, technology and types of application. And he deserves NOBLE PRIZE :)
Actually that's exactly what they are for :) Even though i have a feeling that Elon is not really interested in such "earthly" prizes. He's got his eye set on way bigger things than that.
Toasty I know what engineering is and you don't get a Nobel prize for that. Which doesn't diminish Musk's or any other engineer's great contribution to mankind.
@Game Over he said that’s not what they’re going to make it look like, but rather what they’re trying to make it look like. i think switch to stainless steel was based on temperature resistance and cost but stainless steel may even be a better option because of that, id expect some other stuff to change as well but it’s cool to see some of those simulated events starting to take place in practice even if its a little different
it is amazing that this guy here is actually talking about real plans, not just dreams or any type of an academic lecture. i thougth this was reserved for some future living people. it's nice to live in 2016
Reading the comments makes me glad I didn't see the Q&A. I mean holy shit can't people think about decent questions. This plan will save humanity if anything bad happened to Earth and people need to be grateful that engineers are around.
Martin Vargic not really having Mars as a back up plan and other planets would be a better than just sticking on Earth and wait until humans burn up all resources on Earth. Yep Mars would be a total waste of time
What if he got somebody else to take over SpaceX though, became president, and allocated 150 billion dollars to NASA and space x? In the long run that would be better.
The spaceX website lists its positions for astronauts. They are all engineers and scientists, but what about the guy who runs the "pizza joint"? I'd SO love to be the pizza joint guy! Conversation with a fellow passenger on first flight: -"what do you do?" -"I oversee propellant production for return trips to earth. What about you?" -"I run the pizza joint!"
@Joe Blow No they will be all screened for no religion and hardcore scientists so mars will be rid of religious drivel and advance at 10x rate of earth. And in year 2200 theyll invade earth to exterminate religions. feelsgoodman.
I am grateful to be born in these times, living in this era when Elon musk is alive! Planning interplanetary civilization, this is where history splits, truly a monumental phase in history of the Human race, Elon musk is the greatest visionary of this time and he indeed deserves all the wealth he seeks to achive this goal for us a species.
Five years later and SOOO much has happened! There are a few things that make Elon Musk amazing. Smart, dedicated, doesn't give up, truly truly cares, well spoken....and inspires greatness and respect from others. Sci-fi becoming Sci-fact...at warp speed. :)
The recent movie version of Tony Stark was based on Elon Musk: www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/08/robert-downey-jr-modeled-his-portrayal-of-tony-stark-after-elon-musk-one-of-the-founders-of-zip2-paypal-tesla-motors-and-spacex/ Now Elon even has the same mustache...
I remember watching this in 2016 thinking Elon was crazy. Now in 2020, Mars feels closer than ever before. SN8 flight has proven that the most challenging aspects of this dream are feasible. Elon has truly inspired mankind to push the boundaries of technology and extend our reach beyond Earth. Wow!
Never bet against Musk. His timelines may not make sense or come true but if he said something, it IS going to happen. Because both Tesla and SpaceX are run in fundamentally different ways than other companies
I'd say reaching orbit and demonstrating a safe re-entry and landing are more difficult than a botched landing attempt. Loved the bellyflop tho, quite the spectacle.
28:53 Elon Musk is talking about the emergency escape systems gas thrusters this is why he didn't talk about it in detail he realized he shouldn't have even brought it up because the starship has no emergency escape system..
NASA is bulding a rocket made largely from re-hashed Shuttle hardware from the 1980s. The engines, SRBs, and first stage tanks aren't much different from the Shuttle. And the manned capsule is very Apollo-esque. Orion isn't much more than a modern Apollo command module
SuperSMT They've added new-ish computer systems to the engines, capsule, and rocket. But its all still early 2000's stuff. Also the launch escape tower is such dated technology compared to what you can do nowadays. Its all a very disappointingly low amount of innovation and all political BS pushing this stuff.
+Eric Taylor It is important to consider they are different kinds of companies in the way the function: SpaceX = private company, private investors, builds nearly all rocket components in house, reducing costs NASA = government agency, government-paid, imports many components of the rockets, driving costs up. * * * They are both awesome 'companies', but with NASA's funding much down after the shuttle missions and still inefficient means of construction (as in they could be more efficient), they are still trying to have a successful rocket (SLS). For now, a lot of missions, such as ISS supply and satellite launches, are generally handled by either Orbital ATK or SpaceX.
+Damon T Dana if your referring to the SLS/Orion I think that thing is pretty much a boondoggle. The reason they are going forward with it is mostly political. The ITS Eon Musk envisions will be far more capable & allot less wasteful than SLS/Orion. If it were up to me I'd replace SLS/Orion with the SpaceX ITS in a heartbeat.
I find it charming that he tends to stutter at times, and sometimes his brain functions too fast for his mouth to keep up like he just sounds so genuinely excited about this and he looks like he really cares for his projects. Its actually very inspiring :>
28:53 Elon Musk is talking about the emergency escape systems gas thrusters this is why he didn't talk about it in detail he realized he shouldn't have even brought it up because the starship has no emergency escape system..
All the guys here praising Elon for his ideas let us not forget the engineers at spacex making his vision turn into reality they also deserve the same credit as Elon does 🙌🏻🙌🏻 !!!
This video brings back so many memories of years of speculation, whether it was called ITS, BFR, or Starship. It makes me so happy that after all this time, we finally have one fully stacked. This one goes out to all the haters
I really don't see why Elon is insisting on sending the cargo with the crew. If you send the cargo seperately, you can send it via slower TMI trajectories that require less Delta-V, and thus less fuel (the slowest, lowest-energy trajectories could take well over 200 days- and that's just from the time you finally left Earth orbit- so they wouldn't really be appropriate for humans). This saves launches, as you can pack more cargo into an unmanned version of the MCT on such a trajectory, and thus saves money. The cargo would simply be sent ahead of the crew, and would be unpacked either by robots, or the crew when they arrived...
I think their math goes something like this: the longer a ship is in transit per trip, the fewer trips it can make, which means less return on investment.
@Roberto By splitting the cargo and crew into 2 separate vehicles, they could make each smaller and send less total mass. So it would be cheaper than a single MCT, not more expensive (especially if they used the same aeroshell for each, and just filled one with crew compartments and the other with cargo- the cargo one could also be heavier due to requiring less Delta-V to reach Mars on its slower trajectory).
@Matter, Highly unlikely. That's life-support, and it's something entirely different than "flat-packed cargo". Most of it is water and oxygen tanks- also CO2 scrubbers (or Sabatier Reactors- they can augment life support systems by consuming crew CO2 and reclaiming the Oxygen portion of it for much less mass than conventional CO2 scrubbers. Even better, water which is already needed for life support provides a readily available hydrogen store for a Sabatier Reactor while also producing breathable Oxygen when electrolyzed...) and water recyclers. Only some of that mass is food- which is one of the few components that might actually be described as cargo like that... But most likely, the great majority of cargo are supplies needed to establish a sustainable colony on Mars, since Elon made no mention of seperate, specialized cargo vehicles, and you need a LOT of equipment to have any hope of surviving in such an alien and hostile climate... If you don't need something until you get to the Martian surface, though, it can more easily and cheaply be sent ahead of time in a dedicated cargo mission (if Musk would just realize the need for this)
I'm by no means intelligent, infact I have down syndrome, but don't you have to launch the same amount of mass into space anyway? So why would you split it up? And what is Delta-V and what are TMI trajectories?
Well before we can live on Mars we need a way to get there, and that's what SpaceX is providing. Just like how people used to build train rails which then allowed for thriving cities to form.
vfestberg what about 2 million people trying to get along on a weird new planet (Mars) We barely get along here. Plus not having trees and lakes and rivers would suck. With or without train tracks.
Trust me, they are going to hand pick people with similar ideas and money. Leave the crazy religious goons and take the productive minds on the project.@@Van-..-z._-_z.-._-._.-z.
As a race We’re going to need quality psychologists so we don’t mentally destroy ourselves and each other , especially in the early stages. The right people with developed perceptions of life will be needed for such a daunting but potentially boring beginning. Hopefully one day the Mars colony will teach Earth how to live with technology but also balance.
This is just absolutely amazing... this is probably the only time i have been happy to be a human being to see what we are able to do... some people just want to control the economy, politicis and have worldwide control.... then there are people like Musk who uses money to explore the depths of space and expanding human life to other planets. Truly amazing... this guy deserves some sort of prize for his efforts even if this doesnt work its gonna be a huge step forward
Yep. Those are the exact same models that define the engineering process (CAD models) so it can't have really been much of a stretch to hire one or two people to put this video together.
@@polpol1005 You can't expect the first time of anything to work out perfectly, or at all. That's what these tests are for, to see what systems would fail, and work out how to avoid that in the future. So yea, I guess my expectations were as low as they should have been, because anything else would be like buying a lottery ticket and expecting to win.
There will always be problems on Earth, so to wait until all the problems are solved would be like waiting for water-based paints to dry under water, it won't happen
What's sad is that a lot of americans barely knows there is a "rest of the world" outside USA. Fully grown up people with a good economy that have never been outside the country. Why would such people think that it's worth spending tax payers money to travel to other planets? Elon Musk is right, in a different video he says that if there's to be a 3rd world war it will probably be a nuclear one. If we have people living on Mars at that time at least there will be some people left to repopulate the earth. The fact that there are problems on earth isn't a reason to stop researching into travelling to other planets on the contrary it's a reason to put more effort into it. Thinking that we got to the moon in the 60s and today we haven't really got any further, it's sad.
Things will be done in parallel. Did we say in the age of discovery that "first solve all the problems of our land and then go to find new land"?...we didn't. Exploration is a natural process.
Honestly, Elon inspired me to do presentations. He isn't a great speaker, but he doesn't care and just keeps going. Giving slightly bad presentations are better than doing nothing.
We often judge presentations on how someone speaks, regardless of whether or not they know what they're talking about. This is one of the greatest flaws of how we grade children in school. We make them believe that just because they are not the best speakers, that their presentation wasn't good enough. Elon is the greatest example of how we have our priorities backwards.
Yeah I was thinking about that too but then I realised that he is a lot smarter than and makes more money than me so he can afford to be bad at public speaking. He is a genius.
Noticed it to but its pretty common for most people. I myself have difficulty speaking publicly. That's why I always hated public classroom presentations back in school.
Gin-chan's Odd Jobs that's how he's spoken in pretty much all of his speeches. I thought he sounded bad the first time I've heard him, but over time I've grown to admire it because even though he's not the best speaker he still does it anyway. It's charismatic in its own way because he doesn't let the stuttering stop him. As someone else mentioned, when he does remove the filter and talks all technical he can run circles around people
5 years later, tommorow is third test of full scale Starship attempting to succesfully land after 10km flight. First Booster is being finished in high bay. Boca Chica is being renamed to ,,Starbase". Future is bright.
How does SN8 get us to Mars? It is specifically built to use the Earth's atmosphere to slow itself down. Mars would require a totally different solution. Starship, MarsOne, etc. are just the wet dreams of techno-fantasists. There will never be a human base on Mars. We will never be a "multi-planet species". Elon Musk is deranged.
@@michaelandrews4783 How many times do you think Elon Musk will have to land uncrewed Starships on Mars successfully before there will be any chance of sending people? The likely thing is that the first starships to Mars will crash and burn. I can't see a first attempt until 2026 at the earliest (I don't think it will ever happen but for the sake of argument let's assume that it will). Assuming that it is unsuccessful then the next attempt will be in 2028 and then on and on for decades before anyone will feel confidant about going to Mars. Then imagine one accident with 50 or 100 Mars colonists on board? That would be the end of Elon's Mars fantasy. Believe me, the whole idea is so ludicrous it is never going to happen. By the time Musk could possibly send colonists to Mars the world is going to have bigger fish to fry with issues arising due to climate change. Hyperloop, Starship, Tesla, Boring Company, etc. will all be considered to be the follies of late capitalism in a couple of decades.
@@kukuc96 It has taken him 18 years to get seven people to the ISS a few hundred kilometres above the earth. That is using a technology that was already mature and well established in the early 1970s (50 years ago). I would be surprised if he were even able to send people to the moon in the next decade. I reckon that we would need a permanently occupied base on the moon before we try to colonise Mars and it sounds like Musk is going to skip that part. Musk admits that the first people to Mars will most likely die in the attempt. I imagine getting into a rocket and seeing your body wasting away from the lack of gravity and being bombarded by radiation for six months before dying horribly on a dead and lifeless planet is going to get very dull very quickly. Musk is relying on other companies to build the infrastructure on Mars. Where are the plans for that? Plans to build everyday earth infrastructure can take decades. How much longer will it take to plan to build infrastructure on Mars and, besides a few flash looking graphics, there are no solid plans to build anything on Mars that could possibly protect humans. Furthermore, if there were to be that sort of infrastructure built on Mars it would have to be built by robots *before* humans arrive. Where are the plans for this? They don't exist. What Musk has done has designed a transport system that might get you to the canyon but there is no bridge at the end of the trip to save you from plunging to your death. Like Hyperloop, This idea of Musk's is the fantasy of elites with easy access to too much money. The lack of appreciation of just how insane the proposition is, is extraordinary.

Elon Musk is inspiring man. I wish him and everyone at SpaceX success and success only.
Yeah I don't think I'm being biased when I say he is one of the next geniuses next to Newton and Einstein both with Space X and obviously Tesla (the car company)
well maybe i am but xP
I would not compare him to Newton and Einstein, as he is neither scientist nor a scientific genius, but he is an incredible manager and businessman. Nevertheless, If he succeeds in putting men on Mars, he will be remembered as Christopher Columbus of space exploration.
autotrance yeah I agree with that one
They need someone with common sense there is no oxygen or water on Mars and it’s cold you can’t change that.
@@nancyendicott9047 There is probably a sub surface ocean, and you can heat it up pretty quickly (40 ~ 1000 years) also there is water ice at the poles, you can turn that into oxygen.
18:38 - they did it, they really did it
for real
The only major difference being it landed on the tower above the mount, but thats close enough tbh
You know what I love about this video? The fact that the Q&A was cut out. Quite frankly most people aren't worthy of Elon's precious time.
Well I for one will be moving to Mars. You wanna buy my Tesla? You can just PayPal me the money.
Man, I watched the Q&A, it was mostly garbage and self-promoters shilling their comic or website, definitely not worth anyone's time.
Well you need to start somewhere . But I agree his ideas is to foolish like going to talk about stage 10 (terraform and cities) when they not started or succeed on stage 1 (actual landing). They aim too high too soon first start with just a test run see if you can make it dangerous enough to begin with.
+jano Gabor - They've already completed a bunch of steps, including getting to orbit, returning from orbit (Dragon capsule), propulsive landing of an orbital-class rocket, they've extensively tested supersonic retropropulsion in Earth's upper atmosphere, and they've already tested the Raptor engine and built a carbon fiber LOX tank for the Mars spacecraft.
In the next few years, they will relaunch a reused rocket, accomplish bringing humans to LEO, and likely will land cargo on Mars - by far the heaviest Mars landing of all time.
Yes I know sorry, expressed my self in a wrong way. I know what they achived but still think it is to long away to talk about it. There is still crucial technology needed to succeed. They have a way the reuse rockets a new engine a better tank but one thing is missing shielding for explorers. You don't want to send corpses to mars. (it is a little pricey human disposal) They need to really look out for radiation and other nasty things. One thing humanity learned from nature is to never look down on it. You need to prepare for the worst not saying "just a little chance of cancer" this is foolish there is a big dose of radiation in deep space and mars is not better.

Last time I was this early, NASA had a decent budget
that's a long ass time ago
Zack Webster indeed
The 60s?
They just passed a bill of 25 Billion to put humans on mars by 2035
Shame congress couldn't let NASA keep the budget they had in the Apollo era. If they had that every year up to now they would probably be on Mars by now.
Here we are 4 years later with SpaceX landing successfully the Starship. What a time to be alive!!
it blew up.
I feel like Spacex is doing exactly what i wanted Nasa to do.
well, Elon startet Spacex after he searched the Nasa website for a mars mission date and couldn't find one because there isn't one
You wanted to burn millions of gallons of rocket fuel per cargo ton though ion drive technology only needs a greater voltage to do the same thrust?
That is indeed the case.
@John Toas gigavolt strength electric field is capable of inducing several tons of thrust upon ions created as cascade ionization occurs within the atmosphere.
Currently the highest voltage humans humans have generated is only 20 megavolts apparently. Voltage is the measure of joules per coulomb of charge. Increasing the voltage imparts more force per ion. A sufficient electric field strength breaks atmosphere free of electrons and each ion is accelerated enough to ionize with each collision called cascade ionization.
NASA has no money
me: yes, I would like a loan of £100,000
bank: that's a lot! What's it for?
me: uhm.... 'hoooome immmmprrooovementsss'
Then you move to Mars and they can never force you to pay them back!
Oh is this starship zion?
Scott Dann You are damn right. At the end someone will give Elon a shitload of loans .... printed out of thin air by our zion masters. And of course the starship will be named "ZION 666".

In the light of human history, this is the first step towards an interplanetary war.
Not sure interplanetary war will ever be a thing, but it'll be interesting to see... :)

Alex Baryzhikov fuck humanity, they don’t deserve this
Love looking back at this and seeing how much of the starship design has changed
Me too, rewinding after some years have passed, is like another chapter 😊
Yeah. And it keeps changing! Just a few months ago Elon announced a ~150 meter Starship. Truly a marvel of engineering!
Elon Musk deserves a Nobel prize.
For what?? Peace? Physics? He makes great techology but that is engineering. I mean I love the guy, but that is not what Nobel prizes are for.
Engineering is the application of mathematics, SCIENCE.
The discipline of engineering is extremely broad, and encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied science, technology and types of application. And he deserves NOBLE PRIZE :)
Actually that's exactly what they are for :) Even though i have a feeling that Elon is not really interested in such "earthly" prizes. He's got his eye set on way bigger things than that.
Agreed :)
Toasty I know what engineering is and you don't get a Nobel prize for that. Which doesn't diminish Musk's or any other engineer's great contribution to mankind.
and 4 years later. Elon Musk successfully sent Bob and Doug to ISS. Congratulation!
🎉🎊🎊🎉
and yes, the star ship and the booster looks almost like the simulation he showed there 4 years ago!
And the second mission, along with the insanely successful starship 12.5km hop.
@Game Over he said that’s not what they’re going to make it look like, but rather what they’re trying to make it look like. i think switch to stainless steel was based on temperature resistance and cost but stainless steel may even be a better option because of that, id expect some other stuff to change as well but it’s cool to see some of those simulated events starting to take place in practice even if its a little different
2020 is here and we witnessed ITS becoming a reality as starship.
watching this after SN10 test flight. I say this seems more real every day than sci-fi, mark my words
Imagine after sn-15
And this was 4 years ago.. he's literally been doing everything he's talking about since this, I fuckin love it.
There are a lot of naysayers for Musk but his biggest benefit is the ability to try shit over and over again, failing, but improving.

King of Mars.
He is in a better position to affect our future now than if he was elected
What if he got somebody else to take over SpaceX though, became president, and allocated 150 billion dollars to NASA and space x? In the long run that would be better.
he would be able to suggest an allocation to NASA. But, not to SpaceX since that would be a conflict of interest.
I love this guy's sense of urgency with what should be mankind's most important project since Apollo, but on steroids..

Never bet against Musk. His timelines may not make sense or come true but if he said something, it IS going to happen. Because both Tesla and SpaceX are run in fundamentally different ways than other companies
I'd say reaching orbit and demonstrating a safe re-entry and landing are more difficult than a botched landing attempt. Loved the bellyflop tho, quite the spectacle.

Well we have readily available liquid water here. Compared to mars which only has water in the form of ice.
Actually nasa recently announced there is liquid water on Mars.
NASA needs to step their game up, a lot. They're going to Mars with essentially Apollo architecture
NASA built an entirely new rocket for their mission... in fact it's newer than the Falcon, I wouldn't call it Apollo architecture.
NASA is bulding a rocket made largely from re-hashed Shuttle hardware from the 1980s. The engines, SRBs, and first stage tanks aren't much different from the Shuttle.
And the manned capsule is very Apollo-esque. Orion isn't much more than a modern Apollo command module
SuperSMT
They've added new-ish computer systems to the engines, capsule, and rocket. But its all still early 2000's stuff. Also the launch escape tower is such dated technology compared to what you can do nowadays. Its all a very disappointingly low amount of innovation and all political BS pushing this stuff.
+Eric Taylor
It is important to consider they are different kinds of companies in the way the function:
SpaceX = private company, private investors, builds nearly all rocket components in house, reducing costs
NASA = government agency, government-paid, imports many components of the rockets, driving costs up.
* * *
They are both awesome 'companies', but with NASA's funding much down after the shuttle missions and still inefficient means of construction (as in they could be more efficient), they are still trying to have a successful rocket (SLS). For now, a lot of missions, such as ISS supply and satellite launches, are generally handled by either Orbital ATK or SpaceX.
+Damon T Dana if your referring to the SLS/Orion I think that thing is pretty much a boondoggle. The reason they are going forward with it is mostly political. The ITS Eon Musk envisions will be far more capable & allot less wasteful than SLS/Orion. If it were up to me I'd replace SLS/Orion with the SpaceX ITS in a heartbeat.
I find it charming that he tends to stutter at times, and sometimes his brain functions too fast for his mouth to keep up

This video brings back so many memories of years of speculation, whether it was called ITS, BFR, or Starship. It makes me so happy that after all this time, we finally have one fully stacked. This one goes out to all the haters
This man Elon will become a legend of our species Humanity in the decades to come....
for sure
I really don't see why Elon is insisting on sending the cargo with the crew. If you send the cargo seperately, you can send it via slower TMI trajectories that require less Delta-V, and thus less fuel (the slowest, lowest-energy trajectories could take well over 200 days- and that's just from the time you finally left Earth orbit- so they wouldn't really be appropriate for humans). This saves launches, as you can pack more cargo into an unmanned version of the MCT on such a trajectory, and thus saves money. The cargo would simply be sent ahead of the crew, and would be unpacked either by robots, or the crew when they arrived...
I think their math goes something like this: the longer a ship is in transit per trip, the fewer trips it can make, which means less return on investment.
i think the cargo he is mentioning is the stuff required for the trip to support 100+ people
@Roberto By splitting the cargo and crew into 2 separate vehicles, they could make each smaller and send less total mass. So it would be cheaper than a single MCT, not more expensive (especially if they used the same aeroshell for each, and just filled one with crew compartments and the other with cargo- the cargo one could also be heavier due to requiring less Delta-V to reach Mars on its slower trajectory).
@Matter, Highly unlikely. That's life-support, and it's something entirely different than "flat-packed cargo". Most of it is water and oxygen tanks- also CO2 scrubbers (or Sabatier Reactors- they can augment life support systems by consuming crew CO2 and reclaiming the Oxygen portion of it for much less mass than conventional CO2 scrubbers. Even better, water which is already needed for life support provides a readily available hydrogen store for a Sabatier Reactor while also producing breathable Oxygen when electrolyzed...) and water recyclers. Only some of that mass is food- which is one of the few components that might actually be described as cargo like that... But most likely, the great majority of cargo are supplies needed to establish a sustainable colony on Mars, since Elon made no mention of seperate, specialized cargo vehicles, and you need a LOT of equipment to have any hope of surviving in such an alien and hostile climate...
If you don't need something until you get to the Martian surface, though, it can more easily and cheaply be sent ahead of time in a dedicated cargo mission (if Musk would just realize the need for this)
I'm by no means intelligent, infact I have down syndrome, but don't you have to launch the same amount of mass into space anyway? So why would you split it up? And what is Delta-V and what are TMI trajectories?
Can we admit that going to Mars and living on Mars are challenges with two entirely different levels of complexity.
Well before we can live on Mars we need a way to get there, and that's what SpaceX is providing. Just like how people used to build train rails which then allowed for thriving cities to form.
vfestberg what about 2 million people trying to get along on a weird new planet (Mars) We barely get along here. Plus not having trees and lakes and rivers would suck. With or without train tracks.

Why would such people think that it's worth spending tax payers money to travel to other planets? Elon Musk is right, in a different video he says that if there's to be a 3rd world war it will probably be a nuclear one. If we have people living on Mars at that time at least there will be some people left to repopulate the earth.
The fact that there are problems on earth isn't a reason to stop researching into travelling to other planets on the contrary it's a reason to put more effort into it.

We often judge presentations on how someone speaks, regardless of whether or not they know what they're talking about. This is one of the greatest flaws of how we grade children in school. We make them believe that just because they are not the best speakers, that their presentation wasn't good enough. Elon is the greatest example of how we have our priorities backwards.
Am I the only one who notices that Elon seems to be having difficulties in public speaking during most of his presentation?
Yeah I was thinking about that too but then I realised that he is a lot smarter than and makes more money than me so he can afford to be bad at public speaking. He is a genius.
I believe he's just anxious.
If he spoke at the level he thinks nobody would understand. Has to calculate everything he says for us dummies.
Noticed it to but its pretty common for most people. I myself have difficulty speaking publicly. That's why I always hated public classroom presentations back in school.
Gin-chan's Odd Jobs that's how he's spoken in pretty much all of his speeches. I thought he sounded bad the first time I've heard him, but over time I've grown to admire it because even though he's not the best speaker he still does it anyway. It's charismatic in its own way because he doesn't let the stuttering stop him. As someone else mentioned, when he does remove the filter and talks all technical he can run circles around people
You know what it is pretty rare for me to smile but when I hear him say humans can become a multi planetary species it puts a smile on my space
nice pun
3 years later SpaceX has built the starship Mk1 up to scale
And has just now safely placed American astronauts on the ISS
Mars here we come!!!
@@cronicjointpain1 and now they brought them back and just tested their second Starship prototype
@@ishaansejpal249 and on 14th November 2020, their are doing Astronaut rotation for NASA .
And now, 4 years later they tested parts of their re-entry profile.
5 years later, tommorow is third test of full scale Starship attempting to succesfully land after 10km flight. First Booster is being finished in high bay. Boca Chica is being renamed to ,,Starbase". Future is bright.
Who’s here after IFT5? Pretty close to complete 1st step!
I'm from 2019 and amazingly they are almost on schedule.
2020 here. Two astronauts are currently at the I.S.S!
@@RealmDesigner yeah. But now they are not on schedule. Sadly.
@@const1988 unfortunately. My guess is by 2026 they send the first payloads with cargo. Humans I'd say not before 2034.
@@pedrorneto Yes, i believe you are right.
as of december 8th, SN8 successfully completed the flip maneuver on a 12.5km test flight. We are moving at an incredible pace

"as you can see im a dancing machine"
lolololol xD
"Mars, Here We Come!!"- Elon Musks
After SN8 launch
How does SN8 get us to Mars? It is specifically built to use the Earth's atmosphere to slow itself down. Mars would require a totally different solution. Starship, MarsOne, etc. are just the wet dreams of techno-fantasists. There will never be a human base on Mars. We will never be a "multi-planet species". Elon Musk is deranged.
@@strangeplanet8313 Elon aint deranged but you are ignorant of the current progress and the facts. Mars has 62% lower gravity for a start.
@@michaelandrews4783 How many times do you think Elon Musk will have to land uncrewed Starships on Mars successfully before there will be any chance of sending people? The likely thing is that the first starships to Mars will crash and burn. I can't see a first attempt until 2026 at the earliest (I don't think it will ever happen but for the sake of argument let's assume that it will). Assuming that it is unsuccessful then the next attempt will be in 2028 and then on and on for decades before anyone will feel confidant about going to Mars. Then imagine one accident with 50 or 100 Mars colonists on board? That would be the end of Elon's Mars fantasy. Believe me, the whole idea is so ludicrous it is never going to happen. By the time Musk could possibly send colonists to Mars the world is going to have bigger fish to fry with issues arising due to climate change. Hyperloop, Starship, Tesla, Boring Company, etc. will all be considered to be the follies of late capitalism in a couple of decades.
@@kukuc96 Get back to me when people are actually living (i.e. are not dead) on Mars.
@@kukuc96 It has taken him 18 years to get seven people to the ISS a few hundred kilometres above the earth. That is using a technology that was already mature and well established in the early 1970s (50 years ago). I would be surprised if he were even able to send people to the moon in the next decade. I reckon that we would need a permanently occupied base on the moon before we try to colonise Mars and it sounds like Musk is going to skip that part. Musk admits that the first people to Mars will most likely die in the attempt. I imagine getting into a rocket and seeing your body wasting away from the lack of gravity and being bombarded by radiation for six months before dying horribly on a dead and lifeless planet is going to get very dull very quickly. Musk is relying on other companies to build the infrastructure on Mars. Where are the plans for that? Plans to build everyday earth infrastructure can take decades. How much longer will it take to plan to build infrastructure on Mars and, besides a few flash looking graphics, there are no solid plans to build anything on Mars that could possibly protect humans. Furthermore, if there were to be that sort of infrastructure built on Mars it would have to be built by robots *before* humans arrive. Where are the plans for this? They don't exist. What Musk has done has designed a transport system that might get you to the canyon but there is no bridge at the end of the trip to save you from plunging to your death. Like Hyperloop, This idea of Musk's is the fantasy of elites with easy access to too much money. The lack of appreciation of just how insane the proposition is, is extraordinary.
It's kinda wild watching this in 2021 where SpaceX just successfully sent the second Dragon crew to the ISS.
