SpaceX's Supersized Starship Rocket and the Future of Galactic Exploration | Jennifer Heldmann | TED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2022
- SpaceX's Starship launch vehicle has the potential to explore the solar system in a bold, new -- and supersized -- way. Planetary scientist Jennifer Heldmann talks about how reusable, large-scale spacecraft like Starship could help humanity achieve its next galactic leaps and usher in a new era of space exploration, from investigating the solar system's many ocean worlds to launching bigger telescopes that can see deeper into the universe.

When I get depressed because of the difficulties in life, I always watch space exploration videos like this one. It gives me hope for our future and makes me so freaking excited on what's to come. Instead of being sad, this really gives me inspiration that I can hold on to so that I can live forward and move on my life.
I thought that in the early 70's.
DustieBoots, you think like me! I often suffer from anxiety and depressed moods and like you, I find astronomy-related or space-related videos take me right out of my funk, take my mind to a deeper and larger context and like you, I find much solace in it.
I feel the same way too.
@@Chefchaot You could have made that comment absolutely anywhere.
Yet you chose this thread.
I do that too 😁
From $100k to $900, that is such a serious reduction in expense, 100tons is a lot of mass also. Starship is a serious game changer, I wish I could see how it develops in the next 100 years
these figures are like Elon Musk time and his con jobs , where is his hyperloop, Boring company is going now where ( can not dig holes any cheaper than anyone else ), where is Tesla Semi, even Cyber truck is so far behind schedule I doubt it is coming out at all. He has had success, but he is now addicted to making garbage promises, he needs to be the center of attention at all times.
@@philipwoodgate9555 you’re showing your lack of intelligence very strongly. Hyperloop was never his, many companies were involved with that EXPERIMENT. Boring Company just signed a contract to expand the tunnel in Las Vegas and will be building one around Fort Lauderdale. You’re just not paying attention and are stuck in your ignorance. Theres this thing that the world has been experiencing for a few years now called COVID, so that has caused delays in multiple things. Meanwhile, you have had no comparable success in anything, how ironic.
@@philipwoodgate9555 agreed, Elon may have not fulfilled all promises, but taking a look back.. those chance of promise success are 0.0001%, i'm still humbling and amazed at how much he had achieved.
Elon dude only have 24/hrs a day like everyone..
there's something beautiful about aiming for the star and taking a chance, even failure, still give hope for next generation to try.
@JZ's BFF Starship has been in prototype testing, so what are you even talking about?
I really love the energy that this topic generates, I kind of already see people on Marse. I feel so excited to be alive hearing the developmental phase of this quest. God speed human race.
lololol
God?
@@shakur07
Yeah... God... Creator of heaven and Earth? Confused?😬
@@texan-american200 Yes, I'm confused. Which one of the 4,000 gods?
@@shakur07
3,999 are made-up gods. Go ahead and choose one 😉
There are so many effects of interplanetary travel that often get overlooked. Going to space puts Earth into perspective, as an oasis, our one and only home planet. Living on Mars will teach us how to use resources more efficiently, help us study how to develop better societies, help inspire and unite the planet, give us something more to see on the news than wars and tragedies... who knows? It could end up saving us from something awful. Space without space travel is like the ocean before we had boats. Today is a hopeful era indeed.
Well said.
Crazy how this technology is now available at a time when humanity is dividing itself more and more. 50 years ago people believed that we have to unite as a species to explore the stars but that view is dying. If we explore space we'll be just as divided if not more then we are on Earth
This is truly the first step we need to take if we ever want to be a "galactic society" I think one of the main reasons we don't see aliens is because most civilizations fail to get off the first planet before it's too late. Colonization isn't inherently a bad thing, its a survival instinct, to not keep all our eggs in one basket.
It does seem like we are at our best when we are struggling. We are easily crushed and we seem to lose our minds in prosperity but struggling is our sweet spot. It's like we were meant to strive.
@@pendragyn777 the meaning of life is to struggle.
Well and clearly explained - as I’m aware of much of this yet you had 13 minutes to explain it. Great job indeed. Thank you 🙏🏾 again
This is a great video for someone who has somehow been completely sheltered from any information about space technology. This is a great first page.
Wow! you must be really smart
Haha was thinking the same thing, but still always nice to hear other peoples takes
@@tomh1727 it really was well done, but I was expecting something a little less basic.
@@johndonohue7280 There are many people that don't even know SpaceX currently lands boosters. That doesn't mean they are dumb.
@@elijahtucker7938 I replied to a post that I thought was very sarcastic and condescending and I said wow you must be really smart. I know there are a lot of people that have not had experience with space exploration I am one of them. But I am fascinated about it and I follow a lot of information and I think in layman's terms anyway that I have a half decent grasp. I was not being insulting to anybody except the person who was being condescending with their post.
Although I'm informed of everything she just presented, but I was glued to her speech how beautifully she described everything. Amazing...
same
Yer, for a bit it was all of a summary of what Elon has already told us. But her background is that she has been preparing for the practicality of this, and so she did hilight that it is all going to be more than what the Starship can do - but rather what we can do with it. That's a new thought process.
lmao ....she just copied what musk always says
@@shreysharma726 I know everything she presented but yet can't describe what she was doing. Presentation is a combination of art and knowledge. She nailed it.
@@gregorysagegreene Exactly, I glued to her speech and tried to learn how nicely she is motivating people with the same kinda info available in the industry. We gotta think and work from our own area for the long run of human existence.
Right at the end, she said it. This is an amazing time to be alive.
What she did not mention is that all this looks now possible because of one man and his crazy vision!
If the 1 million people Mars colonization becomes true, will the NOBEL Price deserve that crazy man, or any prices in the world?
@@zhchbob he will need no prize! He will go down in history (not that he is already not there!) as the one man who changed the very evolution of the human species!!
Cant forget to applaud all of the talented engineers working on the project :)
@@yugiohlegend They did pretty much nothing, Elon Musk figured everything out himself!
@@yugiohlegend All extremely skilled, no mistake, but not self-organizing. That's like making sure to applaud the musicians in an orchestra, but at the end of the day, they're not going to be making great music on their own without a score and a conductor, and almost all of them can be replaced without affecting the result.
It's amazing how small the science community is still thinking. 3 times the size of hubble?
100 tonnes to LEO means cheap people in space. The 30m telescope that's going on a mountaintop could be lifted as it is, with no weight saving at all, in 15 Starship launches. That's 12 times the diameter of hubble, 150 times the collecting area. It's designed to be transported by truck, 30 tonnes at a time and assembled on a mountain. Starship can carry 3-4 truckloads! What's more, that's cheaper than building it on a mountain. There's no road to build, no protesters to arrest, no foundations, dome, visitor's centre, parking lot, security fencing or guards.
You would have to secure and shield it a little more than on a truck but I agree with you 💯
It's going to take a while for the industry's wildest dreams to catch up with the potential of Starship.
@@TheDisgruntledImperial it's taking much longer than I expected. Cost to orbit is going to be comparable to cost to the south pole observatory. There's no expectation that South Pole instruments need to crawl out of the Hercules and self assemble. Yet they're still thinking along those lines in space.
And.......if one Starship launch fails, it will all have been for nothing. Perspective, some people think that money that is spent building Starship would be far better put to use saving Our cradle of civilization, Earth. I share that perspective, first we prove we can fix our own mess here before hauling our problems at $900/Tonne onto a dead lifeless planet because Uncle Elon can Tweet about it. Call me Crazy.
@@capo_di_capi But progress doesn't work like that. So much of our modern day technology and processes found their start or were given a quantum leap from the space race. Computers, manufacturing, fabric and material science.... What a lot of the doomsdayers who are panicking about climate change and grumble about investing in space technology don't understand is that one will help the other. You've gotta have vision.
I love this so much. I cannot wait for large scale space travel!! It truly will change our species forever
The scope of that sounds amazing.. but can we really think about colonizing when we cant take care of our Earth that was simply handed to us?
@Midifungi I agree with that! I just worry about the climate
hahaha If today we dont even know our full potential what good does it make to being our not very advance society to another planet?
Think people.
Ancient societies had it right and they were already exploring the stars. They started with themselves first.
I agree
@@somethingcoolinspanish Can we build a great nation when we cant take care of our family issues? Yes, WE CAN.
Let’s be clear: as of today, Starship has not left the atmosphere. Many technical hurdles must be crossed, including proving a novel recovery system, before reusability and the 100x launch cost savings will be realized. SpaceX has changed the conversation, but the general tone of this talk is still far out of step with reality.
OK, Dougie downer. SpaceX actually has a track record of success you can look at and draw conclusions from. Elon does make the impossible late!
2:37 that's a very outdated image of starship, that's from back when it was called the Interplanetary Transport System.
I can't believe it: Someone at NASA publicly and unreservedly excited about Starship. Evangelising Starship, even. This is really good!
ACTUALLY ITS NOT - As an aerospace engineer I am disgusted at this PR garbage.
TED & TEDx have become a PR organisation for Elon Musk.
*FYI - Jennifer Heldmann is NOT and aerospace engineer she's a geologist.*
Has SpaceX done some good? Absolutely. They have literally saved the US manned space program with Crew Dragon and Falcon, but this idiotic hype with Starship needs to stop. Most of its technology is YET to be proven to do anything in space. Most importantly re-fuelling in space is unproven especially at the levels it needs.
Just as importantly Saturn 5 could lift a similar payload into Low Earth Orbit and the WITHOUT REFUELLING go tot he moon. Also there was a variant of the Space Shuttle called Shuttle-C which could also lift a similar payload to low earth orbit.
@@tonywilson4713 There, there, Tony. Things will be OK.
@@tonywilson4713 She has a Ph. D. in planetary studies and has dozens of peer-reviewed papers to her name. I think she's qualified to talk about this.
I'm not sure what your hangup is about being "yet to be proven". Get ready for a new era of cheap spacefight. Scientists are.
@@tonywilson4713 If you make a variant of starship and superheavy expendable you'll get about ~225 tons to LEO (is more but let's be conservative), without refuelling you get >55t to TLI
(Dry mass of SH =~ 150t; Dry Mass of SS=~ 60t)
Saturn V payload to LEO = ~118 tons
Shuttle C estimated payload to LEO =~77tons
Reusable Starship/Superheavy Payload to LEO =~ 100-150tons (Depending on the orbit [Starship 2022 Update])
Reusable Starship is as capable (more or less depending which orbit you choose, but to a "Saturn V" orbit probably more) as the Saturn V and expendable starship is more capable than Saturn V
@@JULIAN11. Seriously WHEN DO PEOPLE LIKE YOU STOP lecturing people who are qualified about subjects you are *NOT QUALIFIED IN.*
Its really annoying.
What I would really like to see is interstellar probes being developed to explore other star systems like Alpha Centauri.
now that cargo delivery to orbit has been privatized, NASA can now get busy on REAL starships
(not the planetships Elon has misnamed ;)
@@jv-lk7bc our sun is a star, so if you're traveling in orbit around a star what else would you name the ship?
Yeah, physics is the problem there. Right now there's just no way to get proves to other stars within centuries. Let alone send back any data, the power to send back data would be huge, well beyond anything we can develop right now.
@@amcadam26 plus apparently it's believed that if you can travel near the speed of light to get there faster time will still move on here so the probe may only appear to fly for a few years to itself but time may pass in the decades at home.
Alpha Centauri is incredibly far away… going about 120,000 MPH using ion propulsion, it would still take about 20,000 years to get there.
I like the idea of sending submarines to Enceladus and Europa.
Don't forget to bring shovels to dig through 100 km of rock hard ice.
I wanna send an excavator to Mars. Then rent it to the people there while I’m living on earth.
The capabilities of Starship are truly amazing
The tax-payer is getting no ownership in all those companies that we fund. If I (the tax-payer) pay you to build a bakery that bakes cakes which you gonna be selling to me, I would expect to own some of that bakery. It is business 101
@@reasonerenlightened2456 SpaceX is a private company with government contracts and most of Starship development is still with money from private investors. If you have the money and the contacts you can invest the next time they do funding raising rounds

You just repeated what I said but you can not see the absurdity of what that means.
Private companies should not be allowed any government contracts unless they surrender a slice of them to be owned by the tax-payer.
@@reasonerenlightened2456 heck no SpaceX works so well because government has a limited say in it
good morning ...lmao
This gave me goosebumps. It's like Arthur C Clarke's science fictions coming true. ❤️
Well in fact its bullshit, we will never reach Alpha-Century
Had 2001 in my head the whoooole time
2:38 Come on. That's the wrong rocket, and they're not even the same size. The ITS was a design from 2016 that was 12m in diameter, compared to Starship's 9m.
For reference, the Saturn V was 10m.
The funny part is that it was a graphic reworked from something Blue Origin created. So my expectations were not high going into that slide lol.
She barely had any slides at all and that's what made it good.
But Starship has a booster that is also 9 meters in diameter. That's like 400 feet high at 9 meters in diameter. 33 engines in the booster, and each Raptor 2 engine is the most powerful rocket engine ever built. Saturn V only had stage 1 that was that big. It was a huge achievement in the late 60"s though. I watched it fly as a kid.
Her enthusiasm is really infectious. Gonna go reinstall kerbal space program
Her enthusiasm makes me think she is either a massive fan girl or paid by some rich South-African dude...
Why not: Planetbase?
She has the dreamer attitude that will make these ideas come true. Got to love the enthusiasm.
the plan is to launch that unmanned test flight she mentioned in august. the dress rehearsal was earlier in june and it went well. humans are due to land on the moon to start building the lunar gateway colony for mars transit in 2-3 years. there will likely be delays, but stick around for the rest of the decade and its likely youll live to see it happen.

For the next 100 years ,the solor system will be explored enough to propel mankinds journey into the unknown sea of stars.
Not true. Even at speeds 1000 times faster than Starship will ever achieve, it would take dozens of lifetimes to reach even the next closest star. But I wish Elon much luck - he won't reach Mars for at least 20-30 years.
@@texastriguy actually... 🤓 it would only take about 80 years to reach proxima centauri going 1000x the speed needed to reach mars orbit. Also, humans on mars is a decade away tops.
@@mrandersen6872 Wrong. You've assumed constant speed the entire way. You've forgotten something basic-humans can only handle 3-4 G's of acceleration, and you need to accelerate AND decelerate.
There are only two Mars launch windows in the next 10 years. So no - humans won't be on Mars in 10 years. Hohmann says so.
*RECALCULATING* lol!
@@texastriguy Within a 100 years we should have fusion power ,another 100 years after that humans will be well on their way beyond our solar system .Issac Arthur has just done a talk on how to populate the galaxy at 1% or less of light speed .
Kudos to NASA for treating an entity (SpaceX) that is working on technology concurrent to their own developments (SLS) not as a threat but as an opportunity. They have been incubating SpaceX from the very beginning. It is so astonishing how forward-thinking NASA is.
NASA is the govermenet and not a private company so why would NASA sees sapce X as a threat?
NASA Budget is 1/100th of military budget. If world military spending was used in space exploration we could control the Galaxy, instead very little…
I hope there aren't crazy cults slowing/blocking some sciences over irrational religious belief/views
Very little earth?
But you'd lose what you have to the closest dictatorship interested in earth. So, though it would be amazing if it is possible it's completely unfeasible to do in practice.
The military is slowly catching on to Space. More of their budget will go to it. Whether that is a good thing is debatable.
@@hungrymusicwolf Speaking as if the USA have any realistic enemy's that would not bankrupt themselves trying to send enough soldiers over the oceans necessary to invade it. The us do not need its military budget to be safe. They just need it to remain the dominant force outside its borders.
She's not wrong but doesn't say anything outside the standard Elon musk lecture.
I'd like to hear her detail some plans of packages of 30 planetary exploration vehicles that could all be launched with enough rocket fuel each to get to their target destination within a year without having to do gravity flybys like in the past. Details of those kinds of missions would be new information.
As a science enthusiast in general, but someone with a background in Psychology, the most interesting thing about our massive change in space travel, isn't what we'll do once there...
Every day I gauge the level of "true comprehension" the average person has about science or space... Even your most tech savvy youth really lack a general overall sense of outer space. They're simply clueless....
Add in AI, robotics, what AI and super computers will do for physical and chemical engineering, etc and tomorrow will be surreal to most of you.... There's just way too much of a gap between what most know about even the most fundamental basics, and the incredible advancements taking place at warp speed in science and engineering.
If you laugh because senior citizens can't use a smartphone/computer, that's nothing to the 100 fold gap between today's human and tomorrow's science sprint... My greatest concern won't be getting payload into space, but rather getting the human psyche to catch up to it.....
Humans are pretty adaptable.
I think we're currently living in some of the most rapidly advancing times in human history, even in these last 10 years or so. The launch of the Starship test vehicles will capture so much of the human imagination that I don't think it will take very long for people to start taking notice of what's to come. As a contributor and member of a community machine learning group, I'm always surprised by how many people we see join from Gen Z that have a thirst for knowledge about AI and Machine Learning, that I don't think this area will be alien for long either.
I suspect like everything new, we'll accept them as norms in short order, we may even accept the pace of change as a norm in itself.
(once in orbit we are halfway to everywhere in the solar system)
you must live in the US...
@@davidgalea6113 to master a solar system as identity is a talent to explore - for everyone alive and everyone to come alive for all of eternity
space is good - let rockets be totem for all of humanity
(rockets are eternal)
Space travel is essential for the preservation of life. This doesn't get brought up often enough, but the planet is an extremely vulnerable place. We can do all we want to take care of it, but any routine cosmic accident will render it uninhabitable. If we CARE about Earth life at all - if we have any loyalty to animals and plants, if not ourselves - we will care about space travel.

It's such a shame we just keep killing each other trying to decide which government is best when in the end all of them are just corrupt and greedy.
I am yet still to imagine how humans will become a spacefaring civilization. But I do imagine a dystopian reality to unfold upon us.
Im going to be honest as long as we have capitalism that won’t happen bc capitalism is based on rivalry not on cooperation
We won't be going very far into space until we figure things out on planet Earth. The 'Aliens' say we have to evolve our consciousness before we can evolve our technology. They are not wrong

What an exciting time to live! I almost feel sorry for those came before us and those after us. I watch for the starship news every day. Their progress is really amazing. We are possible to see the first orbital launch in months. If that successes, we will see the Mars colonization project initiated in several years.

Thats all excluding friction, mass ,and decreasing, atmosphere needed to push against to maintain lift. NOT possible. do the maths!!
@@tonywilson4713 Agree with your opinion on untested and new technologies like cryogenic propellant refuelling in orbit, but the Starship can also send payloads to the moon without refuelling (but not as much compared to the Saturn V, hydrogen is really efficient and lightweight and that makes a difference). Shuttle-C didn’t have a similar payload capacity to Starship or the Saturn V.
@@fork9001 Sorry but Shuttle C is in the same class of heavy lift launchers but it is at the bottom end of the scale.
To LEO
Falcon Heavy 63.8t
Shuttle C 77t
Starship 100t
Saturn V 144t
All of the rest are basically below 30t and most not much over 20 like Falcon 9 FTs 22.8t.
And almost anything that can get a payload into orbit can also get something to the moon, its a matter of how much.

Elon Musk has been a true gift to humanity. He really has advanced humanization with his drive, work ethic, and transformative companies. A true visionary. Truly inspiring.
Come on give some credit to the 100s of member of SpaceX who work behind the scenes day and night to make this possible
@@itsDhiran Fist of all, please pay attention to what I said. I mentioned companies, plural. I’m not just talking about SpaceX. There’s Tesla, Neuralink, Boring Company, and eventually a subsidiary company Starlink (starlink will be worth over 100 billion). As well as trying to propel hyper loop and carbon removal.
The SpaceX engineers have nothing to with all of that. Nor did they start SpaceX against rival legacy companies with the goal of rocket reusability. Something that’s never even been attempted. This is all Musk’s vision and will.
Furthermore, Elon is not just a smart engineer and programmer but a very smart businessman that sees problems big, small, and niche’s in the market. And is able to come up with solutions to them and simplify them. Whether it’s assembling the best minds to do it and or partaking in it himself. His track record is substantial and almost unbelievable.
He will become the first person ever to create 3 start-ups over a billion dollars. Possibly more. Only two people have done two start-up companies over a billion dollars in the world, Elon included. And all his companies literally help advance human society forwards. Absolutely transformative technologies. A true visionary.
I don’t think you realize just how influential he has been on our world and even towards other companies who now follow suit.
p.s. I forgot about Twitter. He didn’t start it but he believes it’s instrumental in maintaining free speech throughout the world. That and he loves it. Believes it can be so much better. Oh and he did help create PayPal.
Yer, like transformed the paradigm literally a 1000x, as she said.
Surely will be one of the most significant historical figures in future.
@@gregorysagegreene absolutely. We should clone this man lol.
The faa does not like Elon they think he is a problem and they want to waste his money by making him open a free fishing gear shop that he has to fund with $5,000 of free fishing equipment in the name of protecting the environment before he could launch the starship now what is that free $5,000 each year of fishing equipment going to do to the animals and the environment all that fishing line is going to be strangulating animals and polluting the oceans what's it got to do with going to space is it fishing shop or is he a space portal what is FAA trying to do here, I smell Biden in this or just the liberals this is liberal thinking to just and no I'm not conservative each has its problems but liberals have gone crazy
Amazing that she takes everything Elon is saying for more than a decade - word for word - and puts it in a TED talk. Good work being original
Lol, I was thinking the same as soon as I saw the rocket comparison slide from a decade ago. Either this is an older TED talk, or little research was done.
Musk is not a great public speaker. If you've ever watched him try to speak off the cuff he rambles quite a bit, it's just the way his mind works. Just like the heavy math engineering he needs someone to market his ideas.
@@elijahtucker7938 Well, as you are correct in what you said, however, unlike you, me or Niv, there are many more people out there that have not heard or seen Elon Musk's presentation(s).

Electricity? That’s a natural phenomenon. You mean the electric grid?
@@kenjifox4264 you know what I mean 😂 DC and AC currents. The ability to manipulate the electromagnetic force and create technology with it. Power plants fueling large areas of people. All that stuff.
@@davywavy3724 👍
I think Jennifer missed a few steps:
1. For practice we will first colonize our moon which is a little more than a day trip away as compared to Mars.
2. Autonomous bots will build the first infrastructure for humans to occupy on the moon.
A modified Starship was already selected for the Artemis program to function as a lander, so as long as nasa isn’t bottlenecked by SLS we should be able to do that soon
(The funny part about starship being selected was that it was chosen for cost effectiveness, but also happened to have superior performance as well)
"a little more than a day trip away as compared to Mars" landing on mars barely takes that much more energy\fuel than the moon, mars has potentially way more resources than the moon which could make for a far more sustainable colony
but I agree with you in that we use the moon for a practice, so we do BOTH, because the starship program will make going to the moon/mars/astroids that much easier that pretty much the whole solar system opens up for access
I love the enthusiasm, however we are a long, long way from getting a human to Mars. I would be surprised if we did it this century. I would think a lot more robots there for a long time before humans.
Not if a cataclysmic event hits earth that threatens the life of everyone. If they knew they they’d be moving faster to get us off planet. Like they are doing now
@@poeticbuddha5608 it would certainly motivate people. The one question I would like to get an answer to is how can we land hundreds or thousands of tonnes on Mars? We struggle to land one tonne now. That’s about the Maximum. I’m curious
Not even this century? Well, prepare to be surprised :).
@@snuffeldjuret I really hope I am wrong. It would be incredible. Although I don’t think I’ll be around in 2100 😂😂😊☺️🙃😊 unless science can really extend my life
@@mralekito it would be fun to see what the world looks like in 2100 :). I for one am more in the camp of I'd be surprised if it happened in the 30's. I would not be surprised by the 40's (although I probably wouldn't bet on it.. maybe) as there are multiple entities moving towards such a goal. If some risk is accepted, it isn't an impossible task.
Ha! The Starship is severely outdated on that slide... that's actually the BFR. 😅
Eh yeah but they got a shot of I think 4/20 fully stacked at the beginning so it balances out lol
We're gonna do it. No matter the cost, no matter the difficulties that may arise, we are going to be a multi-planetary species.
I like how we always assume we are alone in the universe... Hope Mars proves us wrong and we find life and hopefully friendly Extra Terrestrial life
possibility of some kind of microbial life on Mars: extremely low
possibility of life complex enough to be friendly on Mars: zero.
Great presentation!
The name of the SpaceX CEO, CTO, Chief Designer and largest shareholder (all the same person) is not mentioned once in this presentation.
The elites are not altogether pleased with based Elon right now.
It's OK. Elon has enough drive either way. Mentioning SpaceX is a win at least.
Really very interesting subject and the way you have explained is sweet and digestive, This is the power of a good speaker even though a topic is so sensitive but the way you have explain is really simple and understandable , I m very optimistic to see the starship launches on the the Mars, definitely it’s going to open a new chapter in human exploration history.
This is so damn inspiring. I am excited about the future and what will happen this century.
Mean whole bleeding hearts freak out about the environment.
@Andy Black It is "our" environment. Its the air we breathe, the weather we depend on, the water we drink, the resources we use.
We are the environment. We are not separate from it. Protecting what we exist, grow and depend on does not make you a "bleeding heart." Its basic logic to protect your surroundings. Its basic logic to keep your home safe.
@@pricelessppp maybe you believe the enviornment on the moon is better. Can we breath freely without ppe, space suits? I know this planet is made the way it was intended.
Amazing presentation, and this really landed so many great points about why this is important and how markedly advanced these capabilities are today (that are being developed). Anyone interested in "What's the big deal with SpaceX" (or Starship in particular) should watch this. Thanks!
Amazing, this sounds exactly like Elon's vision but it is nice to see mainstream finally jumping onboard
Exactly lol like I already new this because I follow SpaceX but I'm glad to see it is now on TED.
i think the next big one is upping our game on investigation style systems use starlink to connect everything and use nuclear for small batteries to keep equipment running and then a feed back to make scouting planets faster! like 100 metric tons thats alot to be able to send out build space stations around planets BIG!
I need this Starship for Space factories and Moon factories. All operated by my Exopod bots. Great that this is within reach in my life time!.
Brilliant! To the Future researchers, Yes, these were telling times!🖖👽
Fabulous information and delivery! So glad that RUclips began playing it before I knew it was happening and I was hooked! Congratulations to all those working on the Starship Rocket to make an interesting future for our species in space. May the venture go exceedingly well!
"Jennifer Heldmann is a Research Scientist in the Division of Space Science and Astrobiology at NASA Ames Research Center" (from NASA's site)
So cool to see what new questions Nasa scientists will be able to pursue using these new technologies.
I can't wait for the orbital Starship tests later this year :)
The whole universe creates a puzzle for us to solve. Galaxies, stars, sun, planets...the earth as we know it.
It ain't EASY, son.
Musk looks much better with this long hair!
Mars: I have ice and glaciers
Man: Let me come there and you only have water and no ice left
Great presentation, she clearly knows and is very passionate about her subject.
I am excited about time dilation and traveling to Mars ⚠️❤
It's an exciting time to be alive!
It's probably the worst time to be alive. If you're in your 30s or 40s, you will not witness a human landing on Mars in your lifetime.
I'm imagining a Starship sized JWST. HUGE.
She didn’t update her presentation in four years. Starship has went through so many design changes since that image she used.
I am confident we will reach all the goals discussed in this TED Talks.
Confirm with help us
with 20m subscriber, it is not normal to have so few views. Something is wrong.
Very impressive speech. And also, need to change the picture in the compare page.
I think this is a tremendous presentation. My thought is the audience may be overwhelmed with news, and all the baggage that comes with that. Hopefully, those with minds not polluted with such, will be able to fully understand the importance to mankind of the words spoken on this Ted stage, and what it means to actually to venture forth into the unknown.
She presents Starship as if it is already capable of reaching orbit and even refueling there, which is just not true. And although we are possibly not far away from the first orbital flight test, there is still a non negligible possibility for the whole project to fail due to so many unknowns in this pioneer technology.
All right negative Nancy there is a rocket they put satilites up with the big tank flys and lands and you think they won't have a 1000 of these in a few years leaving every year to planet's you are silly
@@Bennie32831 I really hope Starship succeeds but I just think the talk is a little missleading for someone who has not been following the Starship programme.
Starship has pretty much no new technology compared to Falcons, it's just an upgrade. No reason to doubt it's going to fly.
Sure failure is is an option. The important thing of this presentation is what we could do with such a rocket. The average person thinks its just a new Saturn V but we already went to the moon so what so speacial about it.
But lets look at this from an other angle.
The Saturn V already had a payload capacity of about 140t to LEO and this was 50 years ago. Half a century. What happend? USA won the race and stopped. Sure the NASA build the Shuttle but then stopped as well. All the experience with over 100 flights became worthless cos there is no Shuttle 2.0. Instead NASA went back with Ares and now SLS. Expendable rockets with expensive legacy tech. This doesnt get us anywhere cos the public doesnt care this much to spend $2B for every flight.
Just image the govt would have used those more than $20B SLS dev cost to finance a commercial approach just like cargo and crew program.
@@szkoclaw What are you muttering about? It uses different materials in its construction, different fuel, different and complex combustion cycle, has a reusable second stage, uses a different landing strategy... It's still got a pointy end and a flamey end though.
It'll be an honour for me to contribute & be part of this Revolution/future!!
Please tell me you haven't given them money.
The meaning of Life started in space ✨️ let's go
Wow, Wow, Wow!
An Amazing TED tqlk!
Self sufficient colony would be awesome! I just have an awkward question. How to produce plastic in Mars? We usually vilifies it so much on bags that we overlook the immense flexibility of uses it provides and without hydrocarbons it is pretty difficult to build even the most basic appliances! You can get it from plants but I believe all the plant crops will be basically needed for food production. Not even mentioning running a refinery in Mars! Any suggestions?
Like u mentioned plants are needed for food but not all of the plant will be eaten so it's waste can be used as fertilizer or for the production of bioplastics :)
Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere can be used for producing plastics.
If you have enough power most things become possible. There are a ton of things we can do but dont because its not economical with the power generation available today. With better and cheaper solar technology power abundance can solve a lot of these problems. And also existential need is the mother of all problem solvers.
Genetic changed bacterial can produce plastics or the precursors.
@@RasakBlood Totally agree, Power is going to be the limiting factor for successful presence of humans on Mars.
A nuclear reactor is going to be needed to bootstrap the ISRU on Mars for food water etc and eventually refine resources to to build solar panels.
It always gives me chills imagining a human walking on mars....and a baby being born who will be , the first real martian
Congratulations Jennifer Heldmann! Inspiring and brilliant Speach !
It is also worth mentioning, the reason why we'd even go to Mars isn't just to answer the question of wether we're alone in the universe, but to also prolong the lifetime of humanity. It is not just about doing this or doing that, it is about making sure our species survives.
Starship is just the beginning. We will actually need larger ships for these efforts. Ships that are built in orbit, the materials for their construction will be flown on Starship. The orbital construction facility needed will also be enabled by Starship. While Starship is a big step forward, Elon Musk admitted that it will take 1000 ships to make colonizing Mars possible. IMO, Starship is not the answer but it's development makes the answer an attainable goal.
I also believe this is a necessary goal to the survival of our species. Hopefully in the distant future our progeny will be able to look back and say, "Man, those were some crazy determined people. Glad their our ancestors."
No it's not the answer but we have to begin somewhere. Within the last 10 years alone space innovation has taken huge leaps and bounds. Every single day technology is expanding. One day there will be a major breakthrough that allows us to travel to other solar systems. Think about it like this. A couple hundred years ago we traveled the world using wind. We're still in the infancy of space travel. Just imagine where we'll be 200 years from now! Provided we don't blow ourselves up.
ad astra !!!!
It is hard to comprehend how big this is. NASA considered three companies to land on the moon. Two of them could land a small amount of cargo that meets NASAs requirements. Starship could put both landers including astronauts into its cargo bay and land them on the moon. It is that big. Hard to comprehend.
"A telescope is also a time machine"... 🤯🤯🤯 mind blown.
She was able to say everything that Elon would say over an hour or more, in just 13 min XD
I love Elon musk
@@tomwillms1182 Yes, me too, my favorite entrepreneur, but it is a bit tedious to hear long speech from him.. When I was young, I had almost his same condition, in some cases worst, in others no so much..
This of course does not make him less in any meaning.. He also deserve to be the person who communicate his greater announcements. Because is all thanks to him.
But... saying all this.. it was nice to hear all this from someone else to change :)
@@angellestat2730 I love you to bits, peace love and unity
I'm struggling on my own and Elon musk in people like you give me faith in the human race
@@angellestat2730 my phone is broken I can't reply to people very well because I've got dyslexia and dyspraxia and personality disorder
What a time to be alive!
😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♀️
For the people that don’t know Starship will have it’s first orbital test by the end of the year. Which means that if everything goes alright by the end of 2020s we could be sending starships to mars and begin building the infrastructure so humans could come there by the end of 2030s.
SpaceX is gaining momentum in the last few years and who knows what else the company could do in the following years but I’ll be there to witness the greatness.
Btw let’s not forget about the moon base that will be built in the 2030s too!
We really are becoming an interplanetary species and it’s so exciting!
So wonderful to listen and learn the fast progress of Space X !!
I was pretty excited about human space travel outside Earth’s orbit when I was a kid back in the 70s. Then not much happened… for decades. The same applies to electric cars and sustainable energy. I’m not holding my breath.
SpaceX and Tesla
Well the rocket she's talking about has FAA clearance, is built and is undergoing testing at SpaceX's Starbase facility in Boca Chica Texas. They plan to launch the test flight in a couple months. I was also a kid in the 70s and I think it's really happening this time.
This is all great, but why no mention of the Falcon 9 & Super Heavy? Already over 120 landings and reuse ♻️!!! Great for the future, but why no mention? StarShip!!!
Because Falcon9 is ~90% reusable and Falcon Heavy is ~97% reusable. Mentioning these rockets would put Starship (100% reusable) into perspective, which would completely undermine the message that Starship is "so transformative".
Future of space exploration is literally Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
Namely SpaceX :)
everyone should help spacex to acheive its goals , it is for humanity and its a game changer
Hello. This ted channel offers beautiful content. I hope it will be translated into Arabic
Exiting times we are living in. All thanks to Elon's vision with Space X.👍
Wow. Exceptional!
She really put up a picture of bfr/its (years old design) and called it Starship
Yeah I noticed that. Even funnier is that she showed an actual photo of a real Starship landing. Then a minute later she’s showing a diagram of BFR. Hmm.. did she put this together like an hour before the presentation??
How was this approved by TED? aren't we supposed to be learning new things. She should have made this talk 5 years ago and we would have been impressed. With this presentation we learned nothing new. I thought we were going to learn about how they plan to land the starship and the engineering in that. This had only 2 mins of new info. A little disappointed in this one.
I agree eith what your saying, but I think this presentation was meant as an introduction to Starship for people who have never heard of it.
My dreams to see Starship landing on Mars!!
I hope you are VERY young!
@@texastriguy 24 already 😢 I've been checking on all the space exploration and rocket developments specially SpaceX every single day since 2012. Before I die, I want to see humans are became multi planetary species!!
My dreams are Elon Musk paying taxes.
@@omma911 hasn't he paid more than anyone ever?
I think its a really important point to make that yes, at first, space flight will only be for wealthy. But that is true for every major invention. Computers, TVs, cars, planes, etc. There will always be a motivation for reducing the cost of these new inventions, so that they can reach a larger market.
"at first, flight will only be for wealthy" ... you are talking about the present.
Starship will allow highschool students to afford sending stuff to space.
There will be a big problem getting heavy construction equipment out of the top section of Starship and lowered 130ft to the unprepared surface of Mars without the center of mass passing outside Starship. It will likely tip over.
A balloon or other structure could be the first cargo to emerge, allowing it to fall or lean onto its side
Few people get to have such a huge impact in human history. Elon Musk was able to do just that - and he's not even done yet.
For now I don't see this huge impact.
everyone is betting for it to happen eventually, but it's not there yet.
don't get me wrong, I'm not a musk hater by any means, but there is a lot of hype around him.
@@guillaumenadot Even if Starship never flies, SpaceX already has numerous achievements. However it looks very likely it will fly.
That rocket won’t be the technology that takes us interstellar. I don’t know what technology it will take , but a rocket ain’t it.
Don’t worry, we won’t have that for thousands of years
No one is talking about interstellar travel except for you. Weird thing to bring up.
9:22 That's great for risk reduction. Probably reduces development time & cost.
I can’t wait for all this mars stuff to happen 😁
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special. The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math, and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel.
Remove the just and I'm on board.
Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️
Nice 👏👏👏🌹
Are you going to post that under every video now?
Great Presentation loved it
I love TED Talks; this is the only one that's ever disappointed me, because it was a hyped marketing talk. The title gave it way, "...Galactic Exploration." Are we meant to believe that the SpaceX Starship will travel to Kepler-22b, 600 light-years from Earth? In addition, the details of how dangerous a trip to Mars is were fluffed over. Very disappointing.
"all life requires water" - Ummm - No. The form life that WE know of requires it. Who knows what else is out there... :)
Correct.
Though I beleive they know that.
They are actually meaning:
"if we know all Life form requires Water. Then that means there is a CHANCE other potential lifeforms exist that require water."
In other words all life worth speculating about requires water.
