Stop making money off this Sociopath.
Nuh uh 1 like?!
Yes, they send you to KYC procedure until you realize you must be ""accredited-warrenbuffetjunior"" person with a fortune aside to be eligible 😂😂
Promoting ponzi scheme
The motion graphics were top-notch on this one, great job
Graphics….
As in FAKE.
Like everything Muskrats promise.
Imagine a world where you can buy one of those and wander across the Solar system with your crew. 😮
I’m gonna get a ship and find the one piece On the grand line.
Hell ya guardians of the galaxy style
Yup,old heinlein stories. You can pick up a retired one for 600,700 thousand. Average factory workers will form retiree communities at l4 , lol.
People have been imagining such scifi for centuries. To get it to become reality, however, the current Starship system is not going to suffice. We're going to need a major engine revolution to achieve true space faring.
You're going to have to keep imagining because SpaceX sells launch services. They don't sell vehicles.
People need to remember that we have dreamed about this pretty much since the beginning of the space age! Just like when we dreamed about powered flight! Here’s a guy who is making this a reality where going to space will be as easy as catching a commercial flight to New York City!!! 🤞🤞🤞 go spacex! Go starship!
😂
I remember way back when they were first starting they built the low bay which, at the time, was the high bay.
It’s so cool how far they have come since then
When they were first starting, a nose cone was blown on it's side by the wind. It was mad max back then.
WOW WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE. I think one day we will see the Meg Bays all linked together. The rings will go in one end and finish rocket and booster out the other.
thats not whats happening. Elon said he wanted to stop using ring production and use the steel in a spiral shape. Weld everything together in a spiral shape, and you don't need megabays for anything but testing
i'm surprised SpaceX doesn't build a train station to move their spaceships and supplies from Star Factory to the launch pad.
This might happen yet? Once they get a high turnover of ship's launching on a weekly basis.
You mean a crawler like Apollo used?
That's when hyperloop gives up and builds normal trains, 😂
@@nicolasblume1046 kind of like what the Soviets did back in the 60s!
Elon: "Hold my beer..."
This part of Texas is not a desert. Boca Chica is to the south of "The Valley". This area is literally just beach and marshes and pretty far, far away from the nearest desert.
One small comment about the video- your graphics depicts Elon’s vision as a lot of starship + super heavies. In reality, however- few super heavies are needed as they RTLS immediately after launch and the Starships stay in orbit or go to a different planet. There will most likely be a ratio of at least 10:1 super heavy to Starship (my guess). Otherwise good video.
I was going to say the same
In reality none of those exist. Holy moly the MuskCult™ is so lost.
@@David-wc5zl in reality no other company or country has landed and reused and orbital booster. So it's not fact it's just not fiction.
@David-wc5zl U trademarked a word in ur utube comment, that's really messed up ego stuff right there
@@unfurling3129 Let him have his moment with the most Internet clout he has ever created in his life.
You know the real reason why SpaceX is building Starfactory? Wow!
Of course, mass production
"How to talk for 13 minutes without ever touching on the TITLE!"
What is it about a "mass production" factory do you not understand?
I recently watched a video from SmarterEveryDay where he showed one of his talks about his criticisms of Artemis III. One of the points mentioned in the video is that Artemis would require refuelling in earth orbit in order to make it to the moon, and apparently AT LEAST 15 different starships would need to be launched in order to transfer enough fuel if they carry on with the current plans. I think this is probably some infrastructure being created in preparation to create the rockets needed for the refuelling. While i doubt its the main reason, its definitely a motivation.
@@mhesus Good input, thank you. Hard to beat Destin's report, he speaks from truth and experience and his channel is for understanding, not just bling cliks.
@@mhesus ehhh my guess is that space x will just cut upper starship stage into 2 and send now 3rd stage beyond leo, for missions to leo current desin is batter .
@fenilkheni9494 I mean, I can't say confidently whether plans changed since the talk was hosted and I'm not even knowledgable on the current plans; however, I do think you should give the talk a watch. In my opinion, it was a pretty good critique about the lack of communication within NASA concerning the Artemis missions, albeit once you get past the mandatory introductory nonsense, lol.
The military already wants to buy and operate their own Starship launch pad, boosters and starships. I’m sure civilian companies will want to do the same, just like Boeing sells airplanes to civilian airline companies. Perhaps the president of the USA will want his own Lauch pad, starship booster, and starships also.
I doubt... US military funded the Boom supersonic plane, but they ain't looking to put the executive branch personnel on one... last I heard...
Great video. Interesting tidbit: Before construction, SpaceX had to ompact the soil. To do so, they trucked in hundreds of truckloads of soil to a height of 40 feet. They let that sit for months and then trucked it all away. E collect compaction!!
Actually, it was more like two years of compacting.
I think I'll be impressed when they finally start outfitting starships with nuclear propulsion engines...
Both graphic and info were great! I might be new subscriber
Thinking way ahead 👉🧭🗼
Boca Chica is not a “desert” It is a costal beach adjacent to intercostal waterways.
What a clear informative video! Especially the comparison with the Soyuz and the SLS proves the point, thx!
Not entirely. The Soyuz is way easier to built than the SLS!!!
Excellent video. Thanks.
I think the the stainless tubes should be rolled like a cardboard tube the your paper towels comeon. Easier faster totally automatic.
Interesting concept. I'm not sure of anyone has built equipment strong enough to roll stainless steel that size before. That will require massive amount of pressure to do that
That's what I thought. Spiral the steel rolls with one continuous weld. With domes and parts added as needed.
The buildings are not initially intended for security. It's to cut down the wind on assembly so the heavy payloads don't sway and they can still move forward in higher winds.
I was a project manager at kne of the giga factory construction projects made crazzy money working as a pm for a contractor and it was amazing being oart of it fron start to finish and all the meetings that was mission critical elon was there at every single production meeting and knew everything going on with the project and was as involved as he possibly could be it was alot of fun hard work and great project. I know work at space x statbase been there since 2021 and was there for all the explosions and failures learned from it and moved on and jow what it is i cant believe its amazing
Cannot wait to go to space.
My cousin got me a REAL Space Force lapel pin . I can go watch any launch at Vandenberg whenever there is a launch . Also in Texas and Florida! Still think its a funny name?
Great video! Thank you
Boca chica is not a desert. It's a big swamp and it is not in the middle of nowhere. It is pretty close to Brownsville which has 400,000 plus population. I actually live close to Space X
The people of Brownsville will not be happy if SpaceX tries to close the road to Boca Chica beach. A lot of people use that beach. Especially on the weekends.
skill issue
Ring stacking must be preferable to making a continuous spiral-wound tube for engineering access reasons.
You've got to be kidding!!! Spiral wound engineering nightmares???
@@GntlTch How is that a nightmare? With a continuous welding process fabricating the tube it would have fewer welds than a stacked version and no weld planes in any direction. You could arbitrarily cut off as much rocket as you needed when building a new vehicle - no waste. It would be dirt simple, basically a glorified drainage culvert fabricator.
OK I understand the "If you build it, they will come" mentality. But how to handle the logistics of that many starships? Does SpaceX plan on selling them or just leasing the lift capabilities? With the long transit time to Mars it could be 10+ years until they have a successful landing, then even more to be human rated
Yeah, seems excessive. I think there is a big satellite business globally such as StarLink. I thought these would be re-useable though? Maybe Elon is on an L with this? Why do you need to sink good money into 1000 starships? Maybe need to see if Starship can lift off from the surface of Mars first or at least do a Mars fly-by before building so many.
The masses clapping, while Musk has one of his manic periods. I wonder when the depression sets in.
The first Starship fleets will be freighters only. Mars bases will be built primarily by robots. SpaceX is going to need lots and lots of trips to Mars. Only after the cities are perfected down to the mints on the pillows will the first settlers arrive.
ElonMusk DESTROYS ATHMOSPHERE and IRADIATE US ALL with UV radiation by DESTROYING yhe TWO OZONE LAYERS! Why nobody STOPS this MADDNESS??!!???😢😢
Not about sending humans to Mars 😂. Military purpose for having an established mass rocket manufacturing facility. Watch war factories vids from WW2. Same thing except using investor funds. Co-operative between public and private funds. Nuclear and surveillance arsenal facility. Make things that the government wants and it can make you rich. Tesla uses gigafactory’s that have programmable robots that can make many other things in the event of war.
Congrats . SpaceX❤
This was a great video, clever, well conceived. Thanks
Smart new concept ,safer from salty air 👌
Love this video. Good work.
Now that we solved all key and major problems on earth, now, we can focus on: the stars!!! :D What a brilliant idea!!!!
❤😂🎉wish SpaceX great success
Very excellent video, congrats !
I’ll be there Friday!
The SLS actually works 🚀
Us space fans are truly in the golden age right now i feel very fortunate
Amazing achievement, fantastic logisting❤❤🚀🚀
Can't wait til Starships are Launching as often as Starlink Rockets do now...!!
Watching this on Mars rn
Very good job very informative..
Great video man!!
Better hope there is no hurricane in the future.
Yep. A hurricane took out a resort in the 1930's and the town.
Hurricane Harvey was a Cat 4 that came ashore near Boca Chica and went inland a ways before backing out and continuing up the coast dropping a record amount of rain along the way. Another storm like Harvey would make a mess of the launch pad and Starbase. Probably not catastrophic, but a big mess none the less. Now if it is a high Cat 5 like Wilma in 2005 then it might be ball game over for the Boca Chica facility.
Gonna build one starship everyday. And then stack them up before shipping
The more reusable rockets there are, the cheaper space travel will be later in the future. This also means wear and tear per rocket, more maintenance times as you can just switch them out. The goal is to make space travel relatively cheaper
Can’t wait for Starbase Berlin to start construction!
I think (hope), Elon has learned his lesson and will not build another factory in Germany.
Could it have something to do with every one exploding?
i think theres a typo, it says STARTSHIP instead of STARSHIP
🤔😲 Amazing to me that Musk was able to further the rocket diversion from the EMF propulsion used by Space Force at this time...
Unwarranted optimism.
I wonder if the Starship Factory will be run by Tesla Bots (aka. Optimus)?
Elon when are you going to start building the Starship Enterprise? I'm 70 yrs old now you're the only one who can do it before I leave this world.
This is actually is impressive
great video
How do they finance all this? Nasa has such a tiny budget and yet SpaceX can afford to build one skyscraper sort of rocket per day. How do they make it economically viabble?
Government agencies are always plagued with procurement issues that massively inflate costs. SpaceX can also afford to have numerous failures (to some degree) while if NASA does the same thing the program in question will likely be cancelled.
They aren’t building anything close to that many starships. Also, they launched four times more cargo to orbit than every other government and private launch company in the world last year.
This is why his Mars colony is a pipe dream. No one is going to pay to send a million people to Mars and the insane amount of supplies.
@@bluesteel8376 Starlink is the revenue source. Governments will set up science centers first. Many people will pay to get there. The cost will be very low due to reusability. Businesses will expand to Mars and will bring employees and management.
@@bluesteel8376 they aren’t going to send a million people plus supplies. They’re going to send a few hundred people and build infrastructure for later colonists. Seems everyone that sees it impossible has less of a clue than flat Earthers.
Great work!
You forgot to mention that the area also has a national wildlife refuge which includes several rare species of birds
So is Florida's Space Coast. But, you've got to have these things in the south and, preferably, on a coast, away from very populated areas.
@@cravarc Understood. I managed environmental systems for years and I am an engineer.
I realize that where we have to place launch sites. I just hope that Texas will ensure that SpaceX has a mitigation plan in place. I am excited about what they are doing but not at the expense of rare wildlife.
A friend just got starlink - even with lots of tweaking the best he could get 95 x 10. I admit I was disappointed. Maybe cities are tougher than the middle of nowhere for reception.
Contiguous production - yes. Continuous mass production - most likely no. Would need multiple sites in multiple locations in addition to Boca Chica to achieve desired production.
Likely they will have multiple sites in the near future. Texas, Florida and Vandenberg
as stated above "Would need multiple sites in multiple locations in addition to Boca Chica to achieve desired production." @@VincentKarabouladMusique
@@SanctuaryLife maybe even in Nevada ... a SpaceX prop. port in the middle of the desert could be useful for the amount they need... and associated fuel refinery structure adjacent to the port for convenience.
@@PrograError you’d think that would be great, but there seems to be a thing with flying over the water, I’m not sure how important that is long term but for now it’s always over water, so would have to be on the coast until that changes. Then again virgin doesn’t fly over water, so who knows why they keep choosing coastal spots.
@@SanctuaryLife pretty sure the over the water part is due to not wanting to overflight the populated areas... But if spaceX proof it's as safe as it's Falcon series, that's a problem solved for the "fuel tankers"
Hey man, great video
SpaceX is going to be such a large customer of the rolled stainless steel that it should ask the supplier to retool in order to make the rolls wider, saving time on welding the starships.
but why? what is the demand for 100s of these being launched per day?
It took awhile for them to even come up with a launch pad which ended up ruining the vast majority of their missions with the rockets vaporizing the sediment underneath and causing a cloud of short-circuiting dust to cover the rocket and break it every time.
I'm naming my ship the Rocinate II
I wonder how many tons the giga press for rockets is?
It isn’t. Starship is made from stainless steel, not aluminum.
You don't need huge dimensional parts for rockets like you do for cars. Rockets are built as lightweight as possible, they don't have crash safety to worry about.
"How to copy and recap every other news tidbit about SpaceX."
Imagine how big the building would be to store all of them. Or are they all sitting outside?
All outside. Well the part
I still think they shouldve built aprogressive factory where its shorter at the beginning and taller at the end. Then they could roll out the two sections
IMO the only way we will get anywhere in space is if we build a giant space port where big space craft can be built...we are limited what is possible with earths gravity...and it wouldnt take to long with hundred heavy lift rockets ferrying materials.
That is still decades away imo.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 IMO it should be a priority that all countries should be working together on....
@@harryguy76 If the countries of the world can't even live in peace with war or proxy wars I have a hard time expecting them to work together on such a space construction project. And in addition such a mammoth undertaking necessitates a stable economy in the countries involved. Right now the US is one of the few developed countries not in recession or a threatening recession.
Amazing
The fact that we dont just contemplate these things, but we see them being actively built....
Make sure it lands like a rocket. Not like a balloon floating across the land
What is the plan for using all of those starships? My first thought is this is great. My second thought is all of these starship are not going to get used and will be a wasted expense. Elon is too smart to waste that kind of money so their must be a plan but what is it.
M A R S
For WHO??
@xploration1437 Mars is an ambition, a dream but not a plan. Their are no details on who is going, how many people, What kinds of supplies they are taking with them, their landing site, and who is going to pay for it. Their are no details at all. I think that might be an interesting topic for you to cover in a video but I have seen the promotional videos that have been put out by spacex and others. None of those constitute an actual plan.
Mars is the big magilla, but there are numerous other uses that will be used for and many not even thought of yet. But for starters Space X is working with other companies to build a large space station. The US space Force would like to use some starships for military purposes. Many astronomers are drolling at the idea of launching massive telescope into space using the huge starship internal space.
The question is why advance old tech when anti grav tech has been around for well over fifty years. We all know the military won't share their reverse engineered antigrav tech but there's gotta be a way.
I want to work in the space industry, where do I start?
Tesla built those tents to make Model 3 production numbers for share holders. They were close to going under and Elon took advantage of a California law that allows manufactures to temporary use their parking lot.
It's not a desert.. Its sub-tropical down there bro.
Realy I like this video
They are racing to get this done.
Do you suppose that SpaceX has enough room in order to continue adding these gigantic buildings in a long row like the Giga plant from Tesla? And if that's the case, I wonder if they plan on creating hundreds of the mega storage buildings kind of like you would see for a storage company just having 100s of storage plots for you to rent.. Because that's basically what they will need to do if they want to have any kind of hope of getting to hundreds of these things. I could imagine where they have this entire building and then 100 feet or maybe 10 feet 50 feet I don't know over, they build another building that's exactly the same and then off to the side just having rows and Columns of the storage facilities. Could you imagine how cool that would look.
If SpaceX manufacturing facilities match that of Spirit Aerosystems, the numbers are plausible.
Also, if to scale a reasonable landing pad. A cargo ship costs about $150M. Lasting several decades. Might be the quickest way to scale with a port gantry.
this is only a few hours drive from houston where nasa also has a site
Imagine a human society in the future that are so technologically advanced that they put phones and youtube videos like this in a Museum...
We need a spacecraft capable to load people and objects.
Its truly amazing to see this happen and know politicians cant fuck it up. Never thought i would see this in my lifetime. Thank you elon musk
Space rockets massed produced, fascinating.
Elon Musk has brought the future to us today. So exciting to watch it become reality.
Low-bay, mid-bay,high-bay, and mega-bay. You forgot the E-bay!😂
Technology is amazing but where do think your going traveling around the milky way year right
Faclon and Startship ... you need a proof-reader, my friend!
Just imagine 20 - 30 years from Now...
Who will be flying all the rockets and is going to do all the other quite important tasks in space and on other planets?
A whole army of eager, enthusiastic and smart pilots and workers.
Not the people preferring bullshit jobs. Thats for sure.
up, up and away............go spaceX, go Tesla, go Elon............
Won’t 100s of launches damage our atmosphere if done daily on the long run ?
I seriously question why they need to build so many rockets? Why one or more per day? Why the rush to get off the planet?
When is starlink releasing all the ufo video footage captured by its satellites cameras????😮😮
Imagine a world where you can buy a return ticket to the mars colony. How far away are they from one ship launch a day?
At least a year, they’re planning on 5-6 launches this year.
You will still need to be rich to do that, plus in good physical health and have 2-3 years where you don't have to be on Earth working or any other responsibilities. I do not see Mars tourism being much of a thing.
a decade or two at least. one per week will be quite an advancement in this decade. currently no cargo for them to use it, and not really not for such cargo, as the cargo itself is the costly part of space, not the rockets, not even the launches, so maybe reducing the rocket cost won't help until we have a reason to send the insanely costly stuff to space.
@@bluesteel8376 Yeah… you DO realize that prices will drop right? Also, we can realistically cut a two way trip to Mars down to three months or less, if you WANT the long route it would be even cheaper,
@@thorin1045 They’re already sending Falcon 9s a few times a week. Sure the cargo is the expensive part, but that part is also inescapable. Launch cost matters a lot, especially if Starship is as cheap as predicted. As launch costs have decreased, need for launch has increased. If anything even faster.
Excellent presentation of progress with SpaceX. Thanks for the time you’ve put in on this.
