TSR narrator draws ridiculous, unsupportable conclusions from known facts. Pure nonsense ideas about what things mean or outcomes, obviously incorrect to grade school children. My 10 year old was openly mocking what was being said, lol.
LOL! Two years! Is this a video from 2018 where he said the same? Two years, is exactly what I said to my Grandma, when she asked how long my time on University will last. its a comforting timeframe. I was not asked what I would do when finished, but she also never panicked for studying to long!
TWO WEEKK ! So Space is Cartoon 17.500 ? Therefore, to convert the speed to miles per second, divide 17,500 by 3600. Doing this calculation gives approximately 4.861 miles per second. 5" Aye! Five" miles per second. YOU Think.??? Well..? tumbleweed...Fool Stop.
I respectfully disagree, it’s not necessary. However, it’s smart to use the moon as a jumping off point-for resource utilization, testing long-term habitats, life support systems etc.-and NASA’s Artemis program is focused on building one. SpaceX’s Mars strategy bypasses the moon entirely, focusing on direct flights using Starship. I personally think we’re still years, better than a decade maybe more, before crewed missions to Mars. I just hope I’m still alive to watch when those days come! 🚀
@@hawaiianpineapple7303 Yeaaaaa, they said that about the moon too! Then, AFTER we went to the moon, they tried to claim that we never went. THEN, after commercially developed telescopes were able to actually SEE the lunar landing module decent stage STILL ON the moon - they said it was an aberration of "The Matrix" and not real. So....... I suppose you have company, it's not very GOOD company but at least you're not alone!

@@milo-gd3mlwhy are other aerospace companies unable to utilize their engineers to the same degree as SpaceX? If anything, Elon's recognition that engineering time is not a fungible commodity is worth some credit.
@@milo-gd3ml Leadership, experience, finance and starting off as the lead engineer not enough of a contribution for you? I'm guessing you're a "Would you like fries with that?" level of experience? You're a loser, either in envy or complete lack of experience and ability, or both, and it's sad.
yeah, only thing they have to do - actually building their V3 version (which is just a concept and not yet in prototype phase), fly it 14 times to orbit; fuel, fly to Mars, fly through extremly low density atmosphere, land in low-G + sandy uneven terrain without even a communication satelite and 22min lag that done by a company that never flew anything outside of GPS and the upper stage needs to be completely finished in orbit in ~18 month to have 6 month for the 14 refueling missions sure ... hell, they could start with sendind a communication satelite with Falcon heavy if they would be really interested in Mars
It's interesting that this whole project has no prospect for income, there are some things here and there that will technically make money, but the actual mars mission will take much more than all of that and make no money itself.
When has Elon EVER said that colonising Mars is a "for profit" venture? His stated aim has always been to broaden the chances of Humanity to survive a catastrophic extinction event on Earth
Uncrewed 2026 is alright, 100% doable, no controversy as far as im concerned. - Manned mission on the other hand...will take many many many more years. They need to litter the surface with supplies and escape vehicles first before any human will consider landing there. Like, there needs to be atleast 3 backup plans incase something goes wrong.
And since returning is so difficult they need to establish a working, safe and reasonably comfortable habitat for any crew landing there. Not hundreds, initially, more like the number that crews the ISS or Tiangong.
An easy added bonus worked (no big deal, but it looked like the booster and the stage were damaged) , flight control was lousy, 2nd stage burned on reentry (not really reusable), and crashed on landing (really not reusable).
Both lunar landing and mars would require rapid reusalety. Not a month to refurbish the pad and rocket but days. A more realistic question would be "do you think that SpaceX will refly a starship rocket with less than a month turnaround by 2026?"
@LemonsRage @LemonsRage You must have access to numbers that I don't. Looking up the flight dates of the different boosters, I can't find any booster with a reflight date faster than about 27 days. What is the buster number of the one that was reflown again in 9 days. I would like to look it up.
what for? a few dozend probes landed on the Moon/Mars without rapid reusability Falcon Heavy could (by wikipedia) move 16 tons to Mars only the freaky Starship concept needs that because of the pipe dream for a huge tonnage requirement to orbit that does no exist
@@benjaminmeusburger4254 The starship can not make it to the moon without refueling. It takes a dozen launches to refuel it. This is not a normal rocket. Huge but requires refueling to leave low earth orbit.
I know it’s obvious by your subscription rate and comment numbers, but you guys really are getting better and better. It’s noticeable, and appreciated.
Elon also mentioned if everything goes right.. It's unlikely. More realistic is that small unmanned test missions are made at first transfer window. A large unmanned fleet at the second with many separate Mars projects paying for most ships. A first small manned at the third window and large manned on the fourth window.
@@geelangfordo3272 Seems you think it's government that pays for this? However, your taxes pays for your excellent protection the American kid have. Happy with it?

Remember, the upper stage fuel is to bring it back to the earth, and land. If landing on earth isn't the goal, but Mars is, then it just needs to get bigger to get into an orbit large enough to rendezvous with Mars, and land, thinner atmosphere = less heating, so all they really need is more fuel for the landing and perhaps parachutes to help. 2 years sound quick, with Raptor 3 a bigger ship, and more fuel what else does it need?
Personally I think the 2030 is fair bet for starship to mars. Maybe if flight 5 goes well then maybe 2028. Its just too many launches required to accomplish everything.
@@TheSpaceRaceYT Given Musk only a few weeks back put 2029 as the "if nothing goes wrong which for SpaceX is impossible" theoretical date for HLS, assuming SpaceX somehow survives the next two decades anything putting them getting to Mars before Artemis gets there first in the 2040s is unrealistic.
@@ablamill83572055 for a permanent Mars colony, likely. For first landing? No, I would not be that pessimistic about it. It took 10 years to get astronauts on the moon, given this is far more of a challenge but technology advancement isn’t standing still. Once we have an operation base near the moon as a relay it would make the travel to mars far more feasible. 30 years IS a very long time, but we wont know until we see the day.
I don't doubt that spacex will go to mars, but realistically it will happen in the 2040s. The artemis project will keep them busy for a bit as they need to improve their tech for mars a lot
Estoy muy enganchado a tus vídeos, tienes un acento que se me hace fácil de entender, porque no tengo mucho nivel de inglés, por eso y por pereza lo escribo en español
Well they aren't throwing away those Starships. They'll just land and be reused. If NASA did this then they'd waste 12 rockets to get one person to Mars.
The Space Race, remember your poll from June 13 saying that IFT 5 will most likely lift off in JULY? Yeah, I do 😂😂😂 I voted for “September+” only because there was no “October+” lol 😂😂
@@tobiasforsberg2497 You are evidently unaware of the primary means by which SpaceX makes its revenue, which is venture capital, rather then launch contracts, so no the fraud is still fraud.
All for the city on Mars, underground, ground level, perhaps both, but equally important I believe, is plans and implementation for creating an atmosphere and magnetic field.
Have we found solutions to the physiological affects of a long term space mission to Mars? The things I’m thinking of are along the lines of: • Bone atrophy and loss of visual acuity in microgravity • Increased risk of cancer due to increased exposure of radiation • Psychological risks due to isolation and confinement For the 1st problem, people have suggested an artificial gravity module on the spacecraft using centrifugal force but plans to design a module like this have brought up concerns of being too big, being too expensive and potential risk of vibrating entire spacecraft. Are there any alternatives? For the 2nd problem, the long term effects of radiation in space are still largely unknown because in the grand scheme of things, we haven’t been in space for that long, and also astronauts are a very small sample size. For the third problem, I think it’s a matter of choosing astronauts that have desirable personality traits (something that all space companies have basically done), however a six months trip to another celestial body is an uncharted area we haven’t explored. This would be nothing like spending a year on the ISS in low Earth orbit because on a Mars trip, you would see your home planet slowly getting further and further away? Not to mention that the delay between ground control and the spacecraft will only get longer and longer, which would make it harder for astronauts to communicate with Earth. Are there any other plans to alleviate this issue? This is not to mention the nutrition that astronauts need, the limited medical equipment that can be on board to treat any serious injuries, the Mars environment itself, the fact that we haven’t established much presence on the Moon itself even with robots, the problem of developing a closed system to grow food on the spacecraft, the actual logistics of planning an efficient trip to Mars which would entail waiting several months for the planets to align in just the right way to have the shortest possible trip, the problem of Martian dust which is very fine and can cause respiratory problems, the fact that this mission HAS to be perfect because if it fails, or in the worst case scenarios, our astronauts die then space exploration will be incredibly discouraged and our momentum will crash and it will be an embarrassment for all of humanity. It’s one shot, and we have to make it work. That being said, does Elon Musk’s timeline still look realistic to you? And if it doesn’t, when do you predict we will have a crewed Mars mission ready?
"Have we found solutions to the physiological affects of a long term space mission to Mars?" Don't worry. We'll put Elon Musk on the mission and use him to find the answers to these questions.
No, the timeline is not remotely realistic. And a crewed mission to Mars can only be sent after a working, safe and reasonably comfortable habitat has been set up for them robotically.
I guess I have missed something somewhere. Why does the starship booster have to be caught? Why doesn’t it just land vertically like the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy boosters do? Really would like an answer to this preferably from Space Race!
Many reasons! We actually made a video on this subject on our other channel, The Tesla Space - But short answers would be: Manufacturing efficiency (easier and cheaper to build a rocket without legs than with). Weight (rockets without legs are lighter than rockets with legs). Rapid reusability (catch the booster, put it back on the launch mount, refuel, ready for launch)
Not having landing legs saves a great deal of weight and complexity on the vehicles. Build it into the ground station and save the fuel that would be needed to send it skywards.
Thanks everyone who answered. Guess I’m older than I thought (73). Didn’t even realize the thing didn’t have legs because the lunar and Mars simulations always show it with legs. But, I just realized that those are the Starship not the booster. Getting old ain’t for the faint of heart, don’t know who to attribute that to, but it’s sure true.
He should put Optimus Tesla bots on the moon. It would be a hell of a publicity photo and very symbolic. Maybe with an Apollo landing site and flag in the background
@@javaman7199he's actually from Venus , or was it South Africa. Trump's not telling him yet but he's on the deportation list. Trump will take over his businesses.
Double stack starship boosters fill both and use one to get into orbit and detach the other in space that way you have a full tank just floating in orbit
Musk is really ambitious, i don't see a manned mars mission happening in just 4 years, not until NASA's Artemis mission sets up a permanent moon base which will probably take several more years. Mars flights will definitely be more on track for the 2030-40s

@@ciro_costa SpaceX wouldn't be the company it is today without Elon Musk. He certainly exaggerates timelines but what aerospace company has ever delivered on time?
@@leonardgibney2997 I think a high orbit crew dragon flight is already scheduled for this or next year. We could also see a flight to lunar orbit with Orion launched by SLS in a couple of years, perhaps even one with Mengzhou in a few years.
Do what? Send people to Mars or build a colony? Either way the expense is the big issue. Going to the moon back in the late 60's was like going to the neighbourhood grocery store. Going to Mars is like going from your comfy home to Antarctica.
I thought about this afterwards, all Elon has to do is build the habitat inside the fuel tank, all made of stainless steel, and then just land it on it's belly, then it can be filled with supplies and other stuff, and be home for when humans get there. Just a thought!
There's a lot yet to be learned about extended space ops in the cis-lunar environment. For instance, protection from radiation exposure and the hideous problems with radiation poisoning need to be addressed. Cis-lunar space ops offer opportunities for timely rescue and resupply missions that are just not yet feasible in interplanetary space ops. Not that I'm saying we shouldn't go to Mars. Of course we should go there. I agree that pre-positioning the infrastructure on various locations of the Martian surface is a great idea. Mining for lunar water ice is another idea whose time has come. Let's not be shy about going for the exploration and exploitation possibilities available to us now.
I do think starship development has taken a little longer than some people have hoped. In 2020 when we got our first high altitude flight/landing tests I had thought that it would only be another year or two of test articles and we'd have a functional ship. We've had plenty of excitement since, but enough to temper my expectations a little bit. Of course over that same time spacex has increased the number of launches per year from 27 to over 100 planned this year. Things can change quickly. If we look at the basics, Starship is an extremely capable rocket, and future iterations will be able to put hundreds of tons into orbit per launch. But it doesn't look like it will do any operational satellite deployments this year. Basically, I think they'll have to spend at least 5 years working on satellite deployment, work on landing, get the turn-around time down, developing the ships and method of orbital refuelling, build the infrastructure to handle launching multiple starships over the course of weeks. It's not going to happen. Looking at the timeline in 2-year increments, i.e. the mars transfer window 2018-2019: Starhopper built and flown 2020-2021: SN3-SN16 tests and hops, booster development 2022-now: Integrated flight tests I see things accelerating in the future, but not to the point where they're ready for Mars in two years, let alone 4. 6 years is optimistic, 8 I'd say was realistic. For crewed flight, I wouldn't bet on anything closer than 20 years out.
Theory on the Use of Antimatter as Fuel The idea of using **antimatter** as fuel for advanced propulsion systems is based on its ability to release enormous amounts of energy through the process of annihilation, where antimatter particles collide with matter particles, converting all the involved mass directly into energy, as described by Einstein’s equation **E = mc²**. This process is, theoretically, the most efficient form of mass-to-energy conversion known to science. 1. Production and Storage of Antimatter Currently, antimatter can be produced in particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where high-energy collisions result in the creation of antiparticles. The major challenge is the minuscule quantities produced and the extremely high cost of the process. For example, only a few atoms of **antihydrogen** have been produced so far, and the estimated cost of producing one gram of antimatter would be in the trillions of dollars. To make the use of antimatter as fuel feasible, we would need to develop much more efficient technologies for mass production of antiparticles, such as antiprotons and positrons, possibly by exploring larger-scale collisions or yet-unknown processes in particle physics. Another significant challenge is **storing** antimatter. Any contact between antimatter and ordinary matter would result in immediate annihilation, releasing energy uncontrollably. Today, antiparticles can be stored in magnetic and electrostatic traps, known as **Penning traps**, where they float in a vacuum, avoiding contact with material walls. However, storing larger quantities of antimatter for space propulsion would require developing much more stable and efficient magnetic containers with powerful electromagnetic fields. 2. Antimatter-Based Propulsion The most promising application of antimatter as fuel would be in **space propulsion systems**, given its potential to release vast amounts of energy with a very small amount of fuel. Two application scenarios are considered: a. Direct Annihilation Propulsion In this theoretical model, the annihilation between antiprotons (antimatter particles) and protons (ordinary matter particles) would release high-energy particles, such as gamma photons, which could be directed to generate **thrust**. The efficiency would far surpass that of conventional chemical rocket systems, potentially reaching significant fractions of the speed of light, making interstellar travel more viable. The main limitation of this concept is how to channel the energy released by annihilation in a controlled manner, as gamma radiation is difficult to capture and convert into thrust. An advanced system of mirrors or radiation-resistant materials would be required to direct this energy. b. Hybrid Fusion-Antimatter Propulsion Another possibility is using small amounts of antimatter to initiate nuclear fusion reactions. Nuclear fusion, which is already being researched as an energy source, requires high temperatures for atomic nuclei to fuse. Antimatter, upon annihilating with matter, could provide the initial energy needed to trigger these reactions, creating a hybrid propulsion system. In this model, antimatter would not be the primary fuel but rather a catalyst, making nuclear fusion more efficient and controlled while reducing the amount of antimatter needed. 3. Technological Feasibility Although antimatter is, in theory, the most efficient fuel known, there are significant practical obstacles to overcome before it becomes a usable reality: - Cost of Production: Producing antimatter in viable quantities at an affordable cost would require revolutionary advances in particle physics and accelerator engineering. - Safe Storage: Storing significant amounts of antimatter without causing accidental annihilation requires creating incredibly precise and robust magnetic and electrostatic fields, an area still under development. - Energy Conversion: Even if we can control annihilation, converting the released energy into a usable form, whether electricity or propulsion, involves significant engineering challenges. Handling gamma radiation or other high-energy particles is a critical obstacle. 4. Future Applications In the future, if these technological barriers are overcome, antimatter could revolutionize areas such as: - Space Exploration: Interstellar travel could become possible with antimatter-powered spacecraft, reaching significant fractions of the speed of light, shortening trips to other star systems from centuries to decades. - Emergency Energy: Small antimatter reactors could serve as emergency power sources in isolated locations or scenarios where space and weight are limited. - Energy Weapons: On the other hand, the destructive potential of antimatter also represents a threat, capable of releasing immense amounts of energy in explosions. This raises ethical and control issues over the use of such technology. 5. Conclusion While antimatter holds the potential to revolutionize the future of energy and propulsion, it remains a distant technology from practical application. Developing viable methods for producing, storing, and using antimatter depends on significant advances in particle physics, materials engineering, and high-energy propulsion systems. Nevertheless, antimatter represents one of the most exciting frontiers in science, with profound implications for humanity’s future, especially in the realm of space exploration.
With a fully functioning V2 (and eventually V3) Starship this schedule is definitely possible...IF it works. What we really need is a SSTO vehicle to move somewhere.
One point that I almost never read about is Mars less gravity. I do not think it is possible for humans to have babies there, even if humanity would be able to create a, let's say, kind of perfect atmosphere.
when I was a brainless newt in the 60's watching Jetsons and all the Nutty Professors saying by the 70's no one will need to work and everyone will be wealthy beyond their wildest dreams I was jumping for joy in front of the 26 inch black and white screen. Now a fizzer of my former self I realize I was spooned mental nonsense, ah , the joys of life.
You need to Connect 3 Starlinks at once with one big big collar or necklace….take those puppies to mars plus you would have a couple of extra ships in case one breaks down on the martian surface
0:38 SpaceX did not create the first fully reusable rocket stage, the Space Shuttle’s SRBs were fully reusable including the Orbiter and its RS-25 main engines. If you want to go further you can make an argument for the X-15. And Blue Origin created New Shepard before the SpaceX created the Falcon 9 which was fully reusable. If Elon Musk was talking about the entire rocket that still doesn’t hold a candle because the Falcon 9 has an non-reusable second stage and Starship has yet to be reused (no just designing a rocket and claiming its capabilities without demonstrating them doesn’t count) and again if you include suborbital flights, the X-15, SpaceShipOne, SpaceShipTwo, and New Shepard exists.
$1B per ton not being enough? Elon Musk has about $464B for his Net Worth, I think he has plenty enough. Besides who wants to be stuck in a spaceship like Starship for 7 months on the journey to Mars? That’s insane right there. I think if we raised the spending budget on NASA from $22.6B up to all the way to $300B dollars per year.
@ it’s all spendable, trust me he gets away a lot with those tax breaks the government gives them along with not paying his federal and state taxes. Trust me a lot of that is spendable.
Here on earth, Sending the next iteration of a design can be done every month or so... Mars is a different story: You can send a few prototypes all mechanically similar, and send software updates, but the iterative process will be very limited. So use the Moon as your testing ground instead.

Mars is still out of the picture until we have a base on the moon for backup and as a jumping off point.
I respectfully disagree, it’s not necessary. However, it’s smart to use the moon as a jumping off point-for resource utilization, testing long-term habitats, life support systems etc.-and NASA’s Artemis program is focused on building one. SpaceX’s Mars strategy bypasses the moon entirely, focusing on direct flights using Starship.

Quality as on a negative scale.
Uncrewed 2026 is alright, 100% doable, no controversy as far as im concerned.
- Manned mission on the other hand...will take many many many more years.
They need to litter the surface with supplies and escape vehicles first before any human will consider landing there.
Like, there needs to be atleast 3 backup plans incase something goes wrong.
And since returning is so difficult they need to establish a working, safe and reasonably comfortable habitat for any crew landing there. Not hundreds, initially, more like the number that crews the ISS or Tiangong.
FLIGHT 5 WAS AMAZING!
An easy added bonus worked (no big deal, but it looked like the booster and the stage were damaged) , flight control was lousy, 2nd stage burned on reentry (not really reusable), and crashed on landing (really not reusable).
Both lunar landing and mars would require rapid reusalety. Not a month to refurbish the pad and rocket but days. A more realistic question would be "do you think that SpaceX will refly a starship rocket with less than a month turnaround by 2026?"
no
The Faclon 9 needs 9 day to be refurbished. If spacex has atleast 9 rockets on standby they can launche everyday. I don't see the problem.
@LemonsRage @LemonsRage You must have access to numbers that I don't. Looking up the flight dates of the different boosters, I can't find any booster with a reflight date faster than about 27 days. What is the buster number of the one that was reflown again in 9 days. I would like to look it up.

Remember, the upper stage fuel is to bring it back to the earth, and land. If landing on earth isn't the goal, but Mars is, then it just needs to get bigger to get into an orbit large enough to rendezvous with Mars, and land, thinner atmosphere = less heating, so all they really need is more fuel for the landing and perhaps parachutes to help. 2 years sound quick, with Raptor 3 a bigger ship, and more fuel what else does it need?

The Expanse
Have we found solutions to the physiological affects of a long term space mission to Mars?
The things I’m thinking of are along the lines of:
• Bone atrophy and loss of visual acuity in microgravity
• Increased risk of cancer due to increased exposure of radiation
• Psychological risks due to isolation and confinement
For the 1st problem, people have suggested an artificial gravity module on the spacecraft using centrifugal force but plans to design a module like this have brought up concerns of being too big, being too expensive and potential risk of vibrating entire spacecraft. Are there any alternatives?
For the 2nd problem, the long term effects of radiation in space are still largely unknown because in the grand scheme of things, we haven’t been in space for that long, and also astronauts are a very small sample size.
For the third problem, I think it’s a matter of choosing astronauts that have desirable personality traits (something that all space companies have basically done), however a six months trip to another celestial body is an uncharted area we haven’t explored. This would be nothing like spending a year on the ISS in low Earth orbit because on a Mars trip, you would see your home planet slowly getting further and further away? Not to mention that the delay between ground control and the spacecraft will only get longer and longer, which would make it harder for astronauts to communicate with Earth. Are there any other plans to alleviate this issue?
This is not to mention the nutrition that astronauts need, the limited medical equipment that can be on board to treat any serious injuries, the Mars environment itself, the fact that we haven’t established much presence on the Moon itself even with robots, the problem of developing a closed system to grow food on the spacecraft, the actual logistics of planning an efficient trip to Mars which would entail waiting several months for the planets to align in just the right way to have the shortest possible trip, the problem of Martian dust which is very fine and can cause respiratory problems, the fact that this mission HAS to be perfect because if it fails, or in the worst case scenarios, our astronauts die then space exploration will be incredibly discouraged and our momentum will crash and it will be an embarrassment for all of humanity. It’s one shot, and we have to make it work.
That being said, does Elon Musk’s timeline still look realistic to you? And if it doesn’t, when do you predict we will have a crewed Mars mission ready?
"Have we found solutions to the physiological affects of a long term space mission to Mars?"
Don't worry. We'll put Elon Musk on the mission and use him to find the answers to these questions.
No, the timeline is not remotely realistic.
And a crewed mission to Mars can only be sent after a working, safe and reasonably comfortable habitat has been set up for them robotically.
U heard about FAA dealy of starship right?
Great stuff
Interesting To Note, merci.
Send the Xrocket
They caught the rocket in 5th flight lol.
I guess I have missed something somewhere. Why does the starship booster have to be caught? Why doesn’t it just land vertically like the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy boosters do? Really would like an answer to this preferably from Space Race!
cost savings and efficiency afaik: landing legs for a booster that big would be very heavy
Many reasons! We actually made a video on this subject on our other channel, The Tesla Space - But short answers would be: Manufacturing efficiency (easier and cheaper to build a rocket without legs than with). Weight (rockets without legs are lighter than rockets with legs). Rapid reusability (catch the booster, put it back on the launch mount, refuel, ready for launch)
Not having landing legs saves a great deal of weight and complexity on the vehicles. Build it into the ground station and save the fuel that would be needed to send it skywards.
Thanks everyone who answered. Guess I’m older than I thought (73). Didn’t even realize the thing didn’t have legs because the lunar and Mars simulations always show it with legs. But, I just realized that those are the Starship not the booster. Getting old ain’t for the faint of heart, don’t know who to attribute that to, but it’s sure true.

Do what? Send people to Mars or build a colony? Either way the expense is the big issue. Going to the moon back in the late 60's was like going to the neighbourhood grocery store. Going to Mars is like going from your comfy home to Antarctica.
I thought about this afterwards, all Elon has to do is build the habitat inside the fuel tank, all made of stainless steel, and then just land it on it's belly, then it can be filled with supplies and other stuff, and be home for when humans get there. Just a thought!
SpaceX will have plenty of time to work on a Mars mission in 2026 because there is no way Artemis III will be happening that year. Maybe 2028.
There's a lot yet to be learned about extended space ops in the cis-lunar environment. For instance, protection from radiation exposure and the hideous problems with radiation poisoning need to be addressed. Cis-lunar space ops offer opportunities for timely rescue and resupply missions that are just not yet feasible in interplanetary space ops. Not that I'm saying we shouldn't go to Mars. Of course we should go there. I agree that pre-positioning the infrastructure on various locations of the Martian surface is a great idea. Mining for lunar water ice is another idea whose time has come. Let's not be shy about going for the exploration and exploitation possibilities available to us now.

I want to c SpaceX land something on the moon 🌝 and would love to see his plans on landing in living on the moon?
I do think starship development has taken a little longer than some people have hoped. In 2020 when we got our first high altitude flight/landing tests I had thought that it would only be another year or two of test articles and we'd have a functional ship. We've had plenty of excitement since, but enough to temper my expectations a little bit. Of course over that same time spacex has increased the number of launches per year from 27 to over 100 planned this year. Things can change quickly.
If we look at the basics, Starship is an extremely capable rocket, and future iterations will be able to put hundreds of tons into orbit per launch. But it doesn't look like it will do any operational satellite deployments this year. Basically, I think they'll have to spend at least 5 years working on satellite deployment, work on landing, get the turn-around time down, developing the ships and method of orbital refuelling, build the infrastructure to handle launching multiple starships over the course of weeks. It's not going to happen.
Looking at the timeline in 2-year increments, i.e. the mars transfer window
2018-2019: Starhopper built and flown
2020-2021: SN3-SN16 tests and hops, booster development
2022-now: Integrated flight tests
I see things accelerating in the future, but not to the point where they're ready for Mars in two years, let alone 4. 6 years is optimistic, 8 I'd say was realistic. For crewed flight, I wouldn't bet on anything closer than 20 years out.
Good thing your not running SpaceX.
I'm just hoping Elon succeeds. ❤
If you go to Mars and leave the atmosphere of this planet, you will never see what is outside this black hole.
Theory on the Use of Antimatter as Fuel
The idea of using **antimatter** as fuel for advanced propulsion systems is based on its ability to release enormous amounts of energy through the process of annihilation, where antimatter particles collide with matter particles, converting all the involved mass directly into energy, as described by Einstein’s equation **E = mc²**. This process is, theoretically, the most efficient form of mass-to-energy conversion known to science.
1. Production and Storage of Antimatter
Currently, antimatter can be produced in particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where high-energy collisions result in the creation of antiparticles. The major challenge is the minuscule quantities produced and the extremely high cost of the process. For example, only a few atoms of **antihydrogen** have been produced so far, and the estimated cost of producing one gram of antimatter would be in the trillions of dollars.
To make the use of antimatter as fuel feasible, we would need to develop much more efficient technologies for mass production of antiparticles, such as antiprotons and positrons, possibly by exploring larger-scale collisions or yet-unknown processes in particle physics.
Another significant challenge is **storing** antimatter. Any contact between antimatter and ordinary matter would result in immediate annihilation, releasing energy uncontrollably. Today, antiparticles can be stored in magnetic and electrostatic traps, known as **Penning traps**, where they float in a vacuum, avoiding contact with material walls. However, storing larger quantities of antimatter for space propulsion would require developing much more stable and efficient magnetic containers with powerful electromagnetic fields.
2. Antimatter-Based Propulsion
The most promising application of antimatter as fuel would be in **space propulsion systems**, given its potential to release vast amounts of energy with a very small amount of fuel. Two application scenarios are considered:
a. Direct Annihilation Propulsion
In this theoretical model, the annihilation between antiprotons (antimatter particles) and protons (ordinary matter particles) would release high-energy particles, such as gamma photons, which could be directed to generate **thrust**. The efficiency would far surpass that of conventional chemical rocket systems, potentially reaching significant fractions of the speed of light, making interstellar travel more viable.
The main limitation of this concept is how to channel the energy released by annihilation in a controlled manner, as gamma radiation is difficult to capture and convert into thrust. An advanced system of mirrors or radiation-resistant materials would be required to direct this energy.
b. Hybrid Fusion-Antimatter Propulsion
Another possibility is using small amounts of antimatter to initiate nuclear fusion reactions. Nuclear fusion, which is already being researched as an energy source, requires high temperatures for atomic nuclei to fuse. Antimatter, upon annihilating with matter, could provide the initial energy needed to trigger these reactions, creating a hybrid propulsion system.
In this model, antimatter would not be the primary fuel but rather a catalyst, making nuclear fusion more efficient and controlled while reducing the amount of antimatter needed.
3. Technological Feasibility
Although antimatter is, in theory, the most efficient fuel known, there are significant practical obstacles to overcome before it becomes a usable reality:
- Cost of Production: Producing antimatter in viable quantities at an affordable cost would require revolutionary advances in particle physics and accelerator engineering.
- Safe Storage: Storing significant amounts of antimatter without causing accidental annihilation requires creating incredibly precise and robust magnetic and electrostatic fields, an area still under development.
- Energy Conversion: Even if we can control annihilation, converting the released energy into a usable form, whether electricity or propulsion, involves significant engineering challenges. Handling gamma radiation or other high-energy particles is a critical obstacle.
4. Future Applications
In the future, if these technological barriers are overcome, antimatter could revolutionize areas such as:
- Space Exploration: Interstellar travel could become possible with antimatter-powered spacecraft, reaching significant fractions of the speed of light, shortening trips to other star systems from centuries to decades.
- Emergency Energy: Small antimatter reactors could serve as emergency power sources in isolated locations or scenarios where space and weight are limited.
- Energy Weapons: On the other hand, the destructive potential of antimatter also represents a threat, capable of releasing immense amounts of energy in explosions. This raises ethical and control issues over the use of such technology.
5. Conclusion
While antimatter holds the potential to revolutionize the future of energy and propulsion, it remains a distant technology from practical application. Developing viable methods for producing, storing, and using antimatter depends on significant advances in particle physics, materials engineering, and high-energy propulsion systems. Nevertheless, antimatter represents one of the most exciting frontiers in science, with profound implications for humanity’s future, especially in the realm of space exploration.
Nobody dared to reply 😅🙈, this is way too complicated
At 3:50, we already met both “IFs”!!
If you are on the first manned flight to Mars, can you deduct the travel for work mileage from your income tax?
Elon is in DC working on this. The short answer is "yes."
With a fully functioning V2 (and eventually V3) Starship this schedule is definitely possible...IF it works. What we really need is a SSTO vehicle to move somewhere.
This shit fire no cap 🧢
Musk might have said ‘metaphorically and metabolically’ when he was talking about eggs.
I wonder how Elon would coexist Space X and NASA should he get a position in Trump's cabinet assuming he wins.
Not good for any other entity trying to reach space,That worries me very much!
One point that I almost never read about is Mars less gravity. I do not think it is possible for humans to have babies there, even if humanity would be able to create a, let's say, kind of perfect atmosphere.
I'll bet a trillion dollars against 10 that they do not land starship on Mars before the end of 2026
You got a trillion?
He doesn't need a trillion on a sure bet.
@@litrehead There is no sure bet.
A tweet about "2 years to Mars" is not a new timeline. It's just Elon's latest wish.
I am still waiting for Tesla full self driving capability (Promised by Elon Musk at the end of 2017, it is now 2024).
@@javaman7199 Predicted, not promised.
I prefer the lets make people healthy again idea, whats the point of 1/3rd gravity if we all way 3x too much
Haha nice joke. Why are you watching this channel though in this case? :)
Go SpaceX!
Good idea Elon... but maybe it's too ambitious...
Great video!
maybe
when I was a brainless newt in the 60's watching Jetsons and all the Nutty Professors saying by the 70's no one will need to work and everyone will be wealthy beyond their wildest dreams I was jumping for joy in front of the 26 inch black and white screen.
Now a fizzer of my former self I realize I was spooned mental nonsense, ah , the joys of life.
You need to
Connect 3 Starlinks at once with one big big collar or necklace….take those puppies to mars plus you would have a couple of extra ships in case one breaks down on the martian surface
0:38 SpaceX did not create the first fully reusable rocket stage, the Space Shuttle’s SRBs were fully reusable including the Orbiter and its RS-25 main engines. If you want to go further you can make an argument for the X-15. And Blue Origin created New Shepard before the SpaceX created the Falcon 9 which was fully reusable.
If Elon Musk was talking about the entire rocket that still doesn’t hold a candle because the Falcon 9 has an non-reusable second stage and Starship has yet to be reused (no just designing a rocket and claiming its capabilities without demonstrating them doesn’t count) and again if you include suborbital flights, the X-15, SpaceShipOne, SpaceShipTwo, and New Shepard exists.
Less than 1 day per month with 2 towers, for 2 years, from Starbases 2 towers
$1B per ton not being enough?
Elon Musk has about $464B for his Net Worth, I think he has plenty enough.
Besides who wants to be stuck in a spaceship like Starship for 7 months on the journey to Mars? That’s insane right there.
I think if we raised the spending budget on NASA from $22.6B up to all the way to $300B dollars per year.
How much of that $464B is actual spendable wealth and how much is tied up in stocks and shares that could be worthIess tomorrow?
@ it’s all spendable, trust me he gets away a lot with those tax breaks the government gives them along with not paying his federal and state taxes.
Trust me a lot of that is spendable.
Looks good
metabolically or metaphorically?
Business owners' unreasonable promises and subsequent unreasonable deadlines for employers... Am I right, guys?
Just ask Elizabeth Holmes how that went.
We definitely need to go to the moon first get all the kinks worked out and that’ll get our sea legs and then we can talk about Mars
That's a reasonable take. Since the Mars ship would be uncrewed, I'm not opposed to just send it and see what happens.
Here on earth, Sending the next iteration of a design can be done every month or so... Mars is a different story: You can send a few prototypes all mechanically similar, and send software updates, but the iterative process will be very limited. So use the Moon as your testing ground instead.
Without the FAA delay, OFT5 and OFT 6 probably would have flown this year. Kinda smells.
