Why are you telling lies? SpaceX built its space rockets on the US taxpayers' money. The US Government transferred billions of dollars of taxpayers' money via NASA to SpaceX, which is owned by a foreign national. And every time NASA uses SpaceX rockets built on taxpayers money, NASA pays SpaceX again - tens of millions of dollars for each flight. And other space oligarchs get billions of taxpayers dollars from NASA as well.. Taxpayerrs are paying for the space rockets, but those rockets then become property of spac oligarchs. And someone is preaching in the comments about increasing transparency with private businesses taking over. Wake up! SpaceX and Bezos companies are LLCs- they all are limited liability companies with zero transparency. Oligarchs go to space not because they want to make humankind multiplanetary species. They go to space for more money to their wallets- search google for "asteroid trillionaires." They will make TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS on mining resources on the moon and asteroids.

@@theodoremurdock9984 Falcon Superheavy was. was it was called in an awkward short period of time between BFR and Starship/Superheavy, they just dropped the 'falcon' form the name for the booster name after realizing the rocket had nothing to do in common with the Falcons and it also was a mouthful
Also weird how they are making it look like all these rockets have the same height. Why even compare them next to eachother if they aren't to scale at all.

@@dudoji85 Elon Musk has three citizenships: South Africa, Canada, the USA. By keeping South African citizenship and Canadian citizenship, Musk proclaims his allegiance to those countries. So that, technically speaking, he is a foreign national because he chose to keep his allegiance to two foreign states. This could be overlooked for a regular engineer, who keeps the US and Chinese or the US and Indian citizenship. But it is a completely different story, when a person receives billions of dollars from the Government of Country A, while keeping two other citizenships and proclaiming his loyalty to Country B and Country C.

Astra is really focussing on scalability, and 3D printing just is not scalable according to the CEO, as it is too costly & slow. They currently 3D print some components like engines but are looking to move away from it almost entirely.
I mean terra one rocket proved that 3D rockets were possible when I saw the beautiful gorgous sci fi colors of blue I knew this marked a beginning in the era of 3D printed rockets
The smaller companies mean nothing until they prove they can get into space reliably. It's easy to setup shop and start building things, but that has zero value if you aren't launching. 98% of these small companies will run out of funding before they get even close to reaching space, which is sad. But you have to get to space and then build a business around it. You can't do it the other way around.

$Vacq merging with rocket lab $hol merging with astra, also take a look at redwire merging with $gnpk a space infrastructure company who make the IROSA arrays for the iss and own made in space, definitely worth a look and the best value out of the bunch, GL 🚀
I'm going off memory here but pretty sure main advantage of Astra would be being able to effectively launch from a cargo container and so offering any orbit versus rocketlab and its two launch sites. Idk why rocketlab doesn't go that route since they already have a small launcher. They're trying to build a heavier launcher, I think they realize they won't remain competitive possibly with all these startups and are so moving up the chain.
In 1967 between US and CCCP 139 space launches happened(not all of them successes). That is a record that remains unbroken to this day, last year saw 114 launches and launch attempts for example. The minimum was 54 in 2004. Puts this "new space race" into perspective, doesn't it? It's one thing for a rocket company to say they want to fly every day, of course they do, it's a whole other thing for them to actually find enough customers for it. For example, who is the biggest customer of SpaceX? Themselves with all the Starlink launches, these make up bulk of their launch manifest and they have the first shell of that already complete, they'll finish it way before schedule at this rate and then what, where is the next killer app for space launches? Or are they just going to loose half their launch cadence because the job is done? Ultimately it has to come down to space tourism, that's the only way it'll be possible to generate an endless need for more launches.
What happens to their rocket after launch? Assume burning up in atmosphere/becoming space debris? What happens to the price of aluminium if we keep allowing it to burn up in the atmosphere? What happens to space if we keep dumping debris? All of this at scale!!!
Yep, will burn up in atmosphere. Will have no effect on price of aluminum. All space payloads (assuming low earth orbit) will eventualy burn up as well.
my question is when these tiny satellites burn out and crash back to earth. Will they deal with that or is that actually very dangerous. Could it harm people?
What exactly is all the stuff that is going to be dropped in space used for..excuse my ignorance...is it satellites used to record/monitor various things on earth and also give people more powerful internet connections?
Yes. You are right. A lot is improved when you can see it from up above. For instance, disaster management systems developed from satellite imagery by a Nairobi startup was able to assist in tracking many issues globally from tsunamis to earthquakes etc. SpaceX is making a constellation for better internet. Etc etc. You are right.
Dude. It's called the Starship. And Musk wasn't a billionaire when he started SpaceX. If you can't get even these simple things right, you lose a lot of credibility.
While more competition is always better, most of the noted features that were supposed to set Astra apart from other companies are already being used by those companies. This video came off like an Astra advert that was released two years late.

@@Apodeipnon they are. The rockets shown here are carrying very little payload to low earth orbit. They aren't game changer or anything. Sattlilites that are 100-200 kgs are not anything serious
While I’ve interest in space I’m concerned about the. Amount of space junk this it’s going to create and there doesn’t seem to be much regulation. There needs to be international cooperation on this so at least satellites can be decommissioned safely without being a permanent fixture orbiting the Earth.
I agree- this sort of business thinking seems very dangerous in terms of the lack of reusability, and the sheer accumulation of garbage in LEO. We'll need programs soon to clean up space junk and deorbit it.

I feel like launching the space shuttle off a plane was a great way to get a small rocket into orbit. Would probably improve the costs if it was done right and the rocket would already be through the thick of the atmosphere before using any of its limited fuel supply.
I was thinking, when the starship is ready and starts transporting people around the world, it can deploy satellites at the same time for the same cost as a ticket. that literal will bankruptcy a lot of space company, that company is brave.
An intercontinental Statship flight will not reach orbit and thus any satellites would need a stage attached to do so. Which makes it expensive again. Totally ignoring the fact that a passenger version would not have room for satellites and the necessary hardware to launch them without risking the passengers.
Business is killing humanity, and rich people have known this for certain for seventy years. But the most important thing to these sociopaths is that they take a profit. They are the worst criminals in human history.
Interesting BUT... I hope they have some plans to prevent space debris, as well as there must be some kind of sattelite certication that ensure small sattelites always are removed from orbit and their debris. What we do today have a big impact on the safety of future space travel and things can go really bad the day things start to collide in space and parts break of and become more debris and more and more more more.
The "an A380 doesn't go to your house to deliver a small packet" analogy is totally wrong. Small expendable launchers are the equivalent of "a single guy in a bicycle leaves the factory in China with just your package, crosses the ocean, and delivers just that all the way to your house, then he just abandons his bike there on the street and walks away, and the way we'll make it better is by building a cheaper bike". That's not how it is. The package leaves the factory on a giant ship alongside many other stuff, and they only keep getting larger (and they are reused over and over and over), then reaches a distribution center closer to you, and from there a smaller truck might carry yours and other packages right to your house. The future of small launches is in very large fully reusable ships (aka Starship, or "Falcon Super Heavy" as this video incorrectly calls it) launching so often that it doesn't matter to wait for the next ride, and then smaller kickstages carrying small groups of sats closer to their orbits, and finally each satellite using its own engines to get to its final orbit. The price per kg of that solution will be absolutely unbeatable by any expendable system, no matter how cheap or small.
After watching this video u realise that now all startup related to roket after this will not sustain....u need to focus now on something different than thruster rockets.
Because otherwise, with the amount of satellites in orbit, a single collision can lead to a cascade reaction of collisions out of control, bringing the whole thing to its knees.
These Satellite Constellations are made of small and cheap satellites that have a low lifespan. They only orbit a few years and then get replaced by better versions. And the comment before mine.
fortunately, in the real world nothing just stays in orbit, unless you actively reposition a satellite into its proper orbit, gravity will eventually pull everything back down to earth so worst case, if the WALL-E space scene becomes real then all we have to do is wait a few decades for thing to start to clear up again
A lot of big talk about small prices coming from a company yet to successfully launch a rocket. I find much more confidence in Rocket Lab’s proven business model, with a track record of 18/20 successful launches
This video seems really poorly researched. First the call Starship the falcon superheavy, then they get the falcon 9 launch cost wrong, and finally they forget that ULA exists.

They're trying to build a heavier launcher, I think they realize they won't remain competitive possibly with all these startups and are so moving up the chain.
Narrator: Anyone with decent amount of money and brains can get into space
Also narrator: Only 2 companies have gotten into space and 80+ have failed.
In 1967 between US and CCCP 139 space launches happened(not all of them successes). That is a record that remains unbroken to this day, last year saw 114 launches and launch attempts for example. The minimum was 54 in 2004. Puts this "new space race" into perspective, doesn't it?
It's one thing for a rocket company to say they want to fly every day, of course they do, it's a whole other thing for them to actually find enough customers for it. For example, who is the biggest customer of SpaceX? Themselves with all the Starlink launches, these make up bulk of their launch manifest and they have the first shell of that already complete, they'll finish it way before schedule at this rate and then what, where is the next killer app for space launches? Or are they just going to loose half their launch cadence because the job is done?
Ultimately it has to come down to space tourism, that's the only way it'll be possible to generate an endless need for more launches.

Thanks to all those brave visionaries and critical thinkers that making it happen!!earth is getting crowded and resources are depleting fast.
What happens to their rocket after launch? Assume burning up in atmosphere/becoming space debris? What happens to the price of aluminium if we keep allowing it to burn up in the atmosphere? What happens to space if we keep dumping debris? All of this at scale!!!
Yep, will burn up in atmosphere. Will have no effect on price of aluminum. All space payloads (assuming low earth orbit) will eventualy burn up as well.
@@hashim9882 no effect in the short term...
@@wilkes27 it will have no effect in any term especially with the prospect of space mining being fairly likely
my question is when these tiny satellites burn out and crash back to earth. Will they deal with that or is that actually very dangerous. Could it harm people?
What exactly is all the stuff that is going to be dropped in space used for..excuse my ignorance...is it satellites used to record/monitor various things on earth and also give people more powerful internet connections?
Yes. You are right. A lot is improved when you can see it from up above. For instance, disaster management systems developed from satellite imagery by a Nairobi startup was able to assist in tracking many issues globally from tsunamis to earthquakes etc. SpaceX is making a constellation for better internet. Etc etc. You are right.
I thought the equator was better to launch from or alaska launch is for a special reason or polar orbit or something? Why Alaska?
I like this long form ad. Cannot afford the product, but I can use this as a case study in marketing.
If some company has a satellite successfully orbiting in space , then why wouldn't they sell access to it via an API and save others all the hassle?
because everyone needs differnet equipment and orbits
To the moon 🚀🚀🚀
I do not want to imagine the rise of carbon emissions that will result from all these inefficient launches.

Dude. It's called the Starship. And Musk wasn't a billionaire when he started SpaceX. If you can't get even these simple things right, you lose a lot of credibility.
While more competition is always better, most of the noted features that were supposed to set Astra apart from other companies are already being used by those companies. This video came off like an Astra advert that was released two years late.

What kind of spiritually-bereft society to we have when this is how our money, time,, and energy is focused while Earth burns and becomes less and less habitable?
I see this company as innovative. And I see Astra as a major competitor with China. If I could I would invest money in this company. Because I see Astra paving the way for cost effective rocket building technology in the future.

Somewhat more realistic than the reusable rocket idea
Reusable rocket is a thing
@@21berkyx yea but it's not really economical
@@Apodeipnon they are. The rockets shown here are carrying very little payload to low earth orbit. They aren't game changer or anything. Sattlilites that are 100-200 kgs are not anything serious
Astra is not a spaceX competitor
They launch very small payloads between 500kg and 750kg
that would make them a direct competitor to spacex's rocket ride share program....
While I’ve interest in space I’m concerned about the. Amount of space junk this it’s going to create and there doesn’t seem to be much regulation. There needs to be international cooperation on this so at least satellites can be decommissioned safely without being a permanent fixture orbiting the Earth.
I agree- this sort of business thinking seems very dangerous in terms of the lack of reusability, and the sheer accumulation of garbage in LEO. We'll need programs soon to clean up space junk and deorbit it.

Why. That's silly
Why do these people speak like they are forced to speak on gunpoint?
1:56 - ..including Astra
Pretty cool. I’m not sure why Astra is launching from Kodiak, Ak. High latitudes take more energy to get to space. Also, logistics of getting people and rockets to Kodiak is a PITA. I used to go fishing out there…..
That part of Market Street that just got closed to cars in SF would make a great private runway. Just sayin'

Elon was not a billionaire when he started spacex lol. Nor when the falcon 1 flew.. Always painting billionaires as bad
Pretty sure he went into debt for the 4th launch, so technically he wasn't even a millionaire.

4:00 launching a rocket a day, that's frightening. We are going to have mess up there.
they addressed space debris, it is in low earth orbit so it simply burns up in the atmosphere instead of staying
What goes up must come down....
And the space junk problem only grows faster and faster.
Ya exactly
3:51 that mask gives me Elonostalgia
I feel like launching the space shuttle off a plane was a great way to get a small rocket into orbit. Would probably improve the costs if it was done right and the rocket would already be through the thick of the atmosphere before using any of its limited fuel supply.
I was thinking, when the starship is ready and starts transporting people around the world, it can deploy satellites at the same time for the same cost as a ticket. that literal will bankruptcy a lot of space company, that company is brave.
An intercontinental Statship flight will not reach orbit and thus any satellites would need a stage attached to do so. Which makes it expensive again.
Totally ignoring the fact that a passenger version would not have room for satellites and the necessary hardware to launch them without risking the passengers.
Business is killing humanity, and rich people have known this for certain for seventy years. But the most important thing to these sociopaths is that they take a profit. They are the worst criminals in human history.
Interesting BUT... I hope they have some plans to prevent space debris, as well as there must be some kind of sattelite certication that ensure small sattelites always are removed from orbit and their debris. What we do today have a big impact on the safety of future space travel and things can go really bad the day things start to collide in space and parts break of and become more debris and more and more more more.
Why isn't Blue Origin or Boeing mentioned in this? They both have a bunch more credibility than Astra or any other startup...
Boeing? Credibility? Really?
@@darkkennny1 Fax lol
The "an A380 doesn't go to your house to deliver a small packet" analogy is totally wrong. Small expendable launchers are the equivalent of "a single guy in a bicycle leaves the factory in China with just your package, crosses the ocean, and delivers just that all the way to your house, then he just abandons his bike there on the street and walks away, and the way we'll make it better is by building a cheaper bike". That's not how it is. The package leaves the factory on a giant ship alongside many other stuff, and they only keep getting larger (and they are reused over and over and over), then reaches a distribution center closer to you, and from there a smaller truck might carry yours and other packages right to your house.
The future of small launches is in very large fully reusable ships (aka Starship, or "Falcon Super Heavy" as this video incorrectly calls it) launching so often that it doesn't matter to wait for the next ride, and then smaller kickstages carrying small groups of sats closer to their orbits, and finally each satellite using its own engines to get to its final orbit. The price per kg of that solution will be absolutely unbeatable by any expendable system, no matter how cheap or small.
So we polluted our Land, Sea and now outer space. We've also started polluting the Moon and begun polluting Mars. 🙁

@@amitoj ikr. Had me raising questions.
After watching this video u realise that now all startup related to roket after this will not sustain....u need to focus now on something different than thruster rockets.
Why they just let satellites burn?
Because otherwise, with the amount of satellites in orbit, a single collision can lead to a cascade reaction of collisions out of control, bringing the whole thing to its knees.
These Satellite Constellations are made of small and cheap satellites that have a low lifespan. They only orbit a few years and then get replaced by better versions.
And the comment before mine.
First thoughts is "WALL-E in space". There must be some norms before it is too late.
fortunately, in the real world nothing just stays in orbit, unless you actively reposition a satellite into its proper orbit, gravity will eventually pull everything back down to earth so worst case, if the WALL-E space scene becomes real then all we have to do is wait a few decades for thing to start to clear up again
A lot of big talk about small prices coming from a company yet to successfully launch a rocket.
I find much more confidence in Rocket Lab’s proven business model, with a track record of 18/20 successful launches
Ad Astra🙂✌
This video seems really poorly researched. First the call Starship the falcon superheavy, then they get the falcon 9 launch cost wrong, and finally they forget that ULA exists.
Love Ashlee Vance's work
Will all the new rocket launches get us to a new earth before their greenhouse emission kills everything on the existing earth?
