Also be interesting to see if SLS works first time in 2021.

SpaceX is in the unique situation of being both considered as a giant aerospace company and at the same time a startup working on a novel fully reusable space vehicle. Elon truly is the master juggler entrepreneur.
"Large rocket companies like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin". Uhhh, what? Don't include Virgin Galactic as a "large rocket company", that just makes you sound ignorant to reality. Maybe swap out Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin with United Launch Alliance and Ariane Space ... and toss Virgin and Blue Origin into the wannabes.
@@lachlanhempell I would say that being a "big rocket company" has less to do with how many big rockets you launch, but how big your infrastructure is and how much capital you've put into R and D.

@@STRIKEcorperation yep. I love spacex's transparency and innovation, but you can't just ignore blue origin. On top of the rockets they are designing, they are selling their engines to other large rocket companies.

They've already got their great engine, that's 90% of the effort.

I love the fact that private businesses are now leading the spaceflight industry. The problem with governments running the whole show is that they have no incentive to make the best, or the most efficient launch systems, it's always about "how many jobs will it bring to (insert state)", and "we can't end the (insert expensive redundant program) because think of how many jobs that will kill". Private companies on the other hand have no choice but to innovate and race for maximum efficiency, or else they'll face getting kicked out of the industry by a competitor.

Could shoot people into space... or just to another continent... all with electricity and water. Like... what's more cost effective than that probably?

Awesome video! SpaceX does need help to get us into space. Very exciting stuff! I wish NASA will really make a big push! So it's a three tier system. NASA and other government programs breaking limits and setting records. Then SpaceX and Amazon taking over and dropping the cost of launching space stations and the logistics of supplies. Bottom tier are these awesome companies that will bring us all sorts of things we could have never even dreamed of. Anyway I like it.
update, We love spacex & we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both
Did you ever think, like rocket lab a space rocket company, that launches 1 rocket or more per month, shows the new technology and money to be made in the space industry. It shows the best of capitalism the more involved the cheaper it gets, it's so awesome. Love it who knows where we will be in 10 years. I love it it's great
I think about the wasted decades since Apollo and it makes me sick. I hope that the momentum that is building in this new (commercial) space race doesn’t slow. Space is the future and salvation of our species.

8:17 - why don’t you put a taxi in orbit then, which can ferry your payload to the designated orbit, randevous with payload and propellant delivered by the big rockets?

I don't think it's the final frontier. We can control time to gather resources from the past/future and bring it to the present. We can do cross dimensional travel for resources. Or we can go infinitely small down to the quarks and live there. This is just the begging, it all depends on whether we can survive the next 100 hundred years or not. Once we see that we have an unlimited supply of resources I feel like humans will fight less and get along...maybe

Everything we just viewed in this video represents the "covered wagons" of tomorrow. The youth of tomorrow will likely rather giggle and be amused by some of the dead ends of the past. However, we can certainly hope they will take the time to realize these are the shoulders they are then standing on! Best of luck to all of you pioneers!
I love the Protoss sign at 3:05
A very educative and informative presentation depicting the commercial aspects of global space industry.
Loving this series!!!
Awesome video! SpaceX does need help to get us into space. Very exciting stuff!
I wish NASA will really make a big push! So it's a three tier system. NASA and other government programs breaking limits and setting records. Then SpaceX and Amazon taking over and dropping the cost of launching space stations and the logistics of supplies. Bottom tier are these awesome companies that will bring us all sorts of things we could have never even dreamed of.
Anyway I like it.
update, We love spacex & we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both
Rocket Lab being the only one? Does Bloomberg not like Elon Musk and SpaceX or something? You guys are trippin.... come down from the orbit.
10s of 100s if not 1000s of satellites.
10s of 100s of millions if not billions.
Actually it's trillions and trillions of balloon satellites.
Wow, so cool, Space is the last but endless frontier for us:)
Great show
No better name than "Brian Berger" 5:41 XD
Very nice. Thank you for the great content.
Did you ever think, like rocket lab a space rocket company, that launches 1 rocket or more per month, shows the new technology and money to be made in the space industry. It shows the best of capitalism the more involved the cheaper it gets, it's so awesome. Love it who knows where we will be in 10 years. I love it it's great
Why Astra Space is not here?
I think about the wasted decades since Apollo and it makes me sick. I hope that the momentum that is building in this new (commercial) space race doesn’t slow. Space is the future and salvation of our species.
Good job Bloomberg!
Haven't watched the video yet, I will when I have more time, but great title! It grabbed me instantly, and I feel like I agree with it. Just some friendly feedback
Oh my😂 I can see Carissa Bryce on every space-related professional documentary! Way to go Bryce tech👊
SpaceX - bus
Rocket Lab - taxi
Vector Launch - skateboard
Quality content confirmed
How will mankind solve issues related to Space debris ?
Giant expensive projects of manually removing large spacejunk by nets or nudging it to crash into earth. Idk how to deal with the tiny things, other than giant energy-hogging lasers.
The American innovation and industrial might is on full display here 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love it and I cant wait until there's more
Forgot to mention that this is not only happening in the United States but also in India Europe Russia China Australia New Zealand the are rocket companies in this country some have even more advanced technology than those mentioned on here
8:56 I am space captain Obvious and this is my favourite documentary on TH-cam
8:17 - why don’t you put a taxi in orbit then, which can ferry your payload to the designated orbit, randevous with payload and propellant delivered by the big rockets?
13:16 Yay! Ukrainian paining on the wall! )))

Cool ! Love the future that's coming
When I saw Niel and Buzz,stepping out on the Moon in ‘69, I actually blieved I would be able, to go to space myself. Well.. Now I’ve got my future behind me, and i’m still waiting. I don’t think I have enough time left, to save up for the ticket, now that it seems, I can finally buy one. 🇺🇸👩🏻🚀🇩🇰 🙋🏻♂️
It'll be great to see if Firefly can make it to orbit.
I don't think it's the final frontier. We can control time to gather resources from the past/future and bring it to the present. We can do cross dimensional travel for resources. Or we can go infinitely small down to the quarks and live there. This is just the begging, it all depends on whether we can survive the next 100 hundred years or not. Once we see that we have an unlimited supply of resources I feel like humans will fight less and get along...maybe
More of this please.
I hope people like Peter Beck from rocketlabs are also doing enough to address the issue of space debris build up
Is the narator also voices the mgs 5 idroid?
