Until starship has a major track record of cargo deliveries flawless like falcon9 and dragon it won't happen... not getting stage separation was a big thing! Thats why starship exploding is a good result. Will have to ensure stage separation no matter the failure for emergency escape mode.
I was wondering about your models, definitely added to your overall narrative. What program did you use to do them?
Will experience from Starship help them make an 18m raptor-based rocket?
When will we see and 18m wide rocket?
Will the 18m wide rocket be worth the R&D cost-YES. Larger green houses, ground transport vehicles, mining equipment, lift support, building materials. . .Elon wants life to be multi planetary, then we need the 18m wide star ship.
Very cool touch more pls
Love your rendering. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
still trying to get my head around mass production.....of the largest rocket ever made by humans
Who said humans said the robot
They know something we don’t
Exodus
I was fortunate to tour spacex in Hawthorne, Ca. They are just cranking out falcon 9s...two 12 hour shifts working 24 hours a day, pretty incredible.
Theres always something bigger. I balance it against elon promising power supplies to a hospital full of kids on life support in puerto rico after maria hit. Then trump offered him the nasa deal and he left those kids without. Joined the paper throwing party.
Some people just need to make up for small things.
I work for the company that supplied those 'tents' and I'm a little sad to see them go. I had a connection to what was being done.
You are now obsolete.
Like a floppy disk.
how much is one tent?
@@mozero6931 I work in the production wing and am not privy to costs. I get told that price is very variable based on client wants and needs. I did hear that the tents were on a 3yr lease and normally we would get them back. They must have bought them out right. It seems strange to me too cause they could have been easily relocated to another area, they are very useful that way.
i'd like to buy one tent
Awesome job with the video brother! The 3d model in conjunction with the way you present it helps tremendously with understanding it all. Thank you for all the you do and enjoy the experience. 😉
I'll keep predicting it until it becomes self-fulfilling: Optimus Robots will build the city on Mars.
At this point that is becoming clearer every week
I believe by time
Humans are able to go to Mars. We will have robots by then
Love your videos! But I think you need to make it clear to your viewers that SpaceX does NOT need to build a FULL Super-heavy/starship stack every day. They don't need to, & they don't want to.
They may well need (want) to build LOTS of Starships (2nd stage), so churning one of them out every day makes sense, especially once a need is determined. It's also somewhat smaller than the booster, although not only more complex, but SpaceX will need several different variants of them.
But EACH booster will need its OWN "stage-zero" tower & support equipment. Or, at the very least, perhaps 2 boosters could share the ground infrastructure. And each booster needs to land somewhere with a tower. Are they then going to then pull it OFF that tower? Perhaps, but not very often. The boosters are supposed to turn around in just a few hours, so they're not going to need that many of them.
And it seems that the Stage-zero ground infrastructure is both more costly & takes longer to build than a booster, so I seriously doubt they'll need that many. Although I hope they build more Stage-zeros, & I'm disappointed that the tower still waiting to be erected in FL is just languishing for the time being.
Ground Zero is said to be able to launch one Starship/Superheavy every hour at full capacity, so the ground equipment and support infrastructure will need to be completely rebuilt or heavily modified if that is to happen. To even hope to support that cadence using tanker trucks is not feasible. There will need to be capabilities to make their own fuel and fill ther water tanks on site. Maybe that is what the new slabs being laid beyond Mechazilla will be used for?
Also, given how well used Mechazilla have started to sound, i think they will also need to upgrade that tower and elevator mechanism pretty soon. It definitely needs a centralized pressurized oiling system.
But Elon wants to go to Mars. There are limited windows of opportunity to get there efficiently. So, the intent is to have up to 1000 rockets leave orbit at the same time and land on Mars without towers. The towers will be used for local missions. Elon said the tower was a larger technical challenge than the rocket, so the same experimental principal applies. Once the engineering is proven, mass production can then be tackled, or some other way of landing.
@@outspoken117they’ll have months to launch all the autonomous rockets, they’ll have them just waiting in orbit for the window then send up the manned rockets at the very end. That still means about 32 launches per day (including fuelling launches) if they spread it across 2 months so they’ll probably need at least 8 launch sites, they’ll probably have 10 so it’s more spread out
я думаю что Илон просто тратит деньги впустую, предлагаю "большим кошелькам" морковку в виде Марса. Хорошо, не впустую, но для совсем других целей, чем Марс
That makes sense
While SpaceX used 304L stainless steel, they've changed to 304X stainless steal, which has slightly optimized properties for Starship.
now I nned to google what the X variation exactly is.
@@greg.peepeefaceit's a proprietary alloy they had to create after they tested all the other stainless variations and none of them could hold up to what they needed to do.
@@SammySprinklers69 thank you, thank you 🙏. I should’ve known that!
Thank you for this in depth video. Mass production of gigantic starships is even more ambitious than Henry Ford pioneering of modern mass production processes
Interesting perspective on the development and ambitions of SpaceX's Starship Gigafactory. While the focus is largely on scaling up and the mass production of Starships, there's a potential angle that wasn't touched upon. Given the sheer capacity for rocket production and Musk's dominance in the private aerospace sector, it's plausible to consider the potential for militarization of these starships in the future. Here's a speculative thought: What if one of the reasons behind this aggressive scaling up is a potential requirement from military or defense agencies in the coming years?
With increasing global tensions and the ever-evolving landscape of warfare, the requirement for advanced spacecraft might become a strategic necessity. If SpaceX can produce Starships at an unprecedented pace, they would essentially control the market for military-grade spacecraft, allowing Musk to set the price, potentially yielding exorbitant profits during times of conflict. This would also consolidate SpaceX's position as a primary contractor for government agencies worldwide. The dual-use nature of many aerospace technologies is well-documented. It's not too far-fetched to think that these rockets, initially designed for space exploration and transportation, could be repurposed for defense initiatives.
Furthermore, as a business magnate, Musk is known to seize opportunities that promise exponential growth. A potential defense contract for Starships would not only be financially lucrative but would also secure SpaceX's position as a pivotal player in global defense, much like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and others have in the past.
It's crucial to approach this with a grain of salt, as this is purely speculative. However, given the history of aerospace developments and their military applications, it's a possibility worth considering.
Mars is the reason. Trust Elon. He is very straight to the goal.
mars first, then the nukes to destroy earth so people move to mars
Elon tells you what he is thinking and where he is going. If there is a war what they gonna do with a bunch of giantrockets unless they wanna quickly evacuate a bunch of people but where they gonna go lol
hello chatgpt, write about the danger of spaceship, global tension and military contracts
I don't know if this is public knowledge yet but there are military related contracts with spacex, I can't say what for though.
It’s mind bending to ponder how our relationship to space will dramatically change this decade, due entirely to SpaceX. Just trying to figure out where they will park all the boosters and starships at a production rate of 1 per day.
Maybe just-in-time manufacturing as opposed to 1 per day. When there is a demand, they can start building. I wondered how they will ship if other countries ordered them, but then i figured they will fly them there, just as Elon musk envisioned that it would be faster to travel in rocket than by plane
It's not going to change at all.
Great idea. In order to colonize Mars, at least 200,000 rockets in size of the starship need to be sent - just for the initiation stage.
Never gonna happen 🤦🏻♂️
@@olly7248you’ll see 😂
_@The Tesla Space_ -- Nice model of the production section of the Starbase. Well done!
Excellent video. Thanks.
And kudos for using that photo of the Atlas 1 production line at General Dynamics in San Diego. It probably was taken in 1960 or so. The Atlas I and successor versions along with the Centaur upper stage were the first stainless steel rockets to be mass produced and flown. They are the predecessors of the stainless steel Starship now 60 years later.
For ardent followers like me, all this is known knowledge, yet hearing it from folks like you makes one feel validated!
We are blessed to be alive to see this happen in our lifetime 💞
And don't forget to mention that each one is designed to be fully and rapidly reusable! Also they are building a second star factory in Florida next to their launch pad.
If they're reusable, why build one per day?
what are they going to do in a few years with all those rockets?
@@shachar2 Maybe upgrade the engines and keep them in service like we do with planes. Also weekly or daily flights to the Mars colony could be a possibility!
@@SamA-cy8eu huge maintenance and flight cost
If you allow for bad things to happen early and learn from it and then fix iteratively - I suppose really just a series of prototypes - it drastically decreases the amount of time to build something good. This is mostly because requiring “perfection” early on really stresses the design phase to be as good as possible which complicates things. It’s nearly impossible to design something that will be version 1.0 so that it’s bug free and meets all specifications. (When I was working as a software engineer I had to use both methods at different companies and trying to get it perfect immediately took an incredible amount of thought, mostly just giving me migraines. It can be possible but it’s very hard, although it is a good exercise.)
Great comment 👏
Musk literally reinvented engineering lol...
As a college student, trying to obtain their welding degree, it is truly inspiring to hear how much welding work they need. Ironically, my dream has been to weld on a rocket for SpaceX. Hopefully, many career opportunities will open up once these factories are built.
Robots already got that covered
thats not what irony means mr. college student
SpaceX is a joke.
@@user-yt3ro5yu7l how would you know? I work with iron you don’t
This video is exceptionally well done. I am deeply grateful to you! 😊
cant wait until someone puts a buIIet into FElons f ucking skuII already
I have never seen so much power, innovative and creative solutions proper of only a genius like Elon Musk! ❤
Saying Muskrat is a genius only really tells everyone else just how unbelievable stupid you must be.
From 1 rocket per year to 1 rocket per day, its crazy how fast humanity is advancing now, what a time to be young.
You missed the most important part: "How do they get the spaceship suitably pointy?"
Thank you for not playing obnoxious dramatic LOUD music in your videos... We can actually understand your dialogue... Thank you! 😀
Thanks. The description of the production at the end was excellent.
We don't just need a space rocket. We need space cruise ships that can be home with quarters to 1000's of people, and this means that we need to build this stuff in space, not on Earth. We should also be building a spaceport on the moon to make it easier to travel to these space cruise ships.
Space factories will need earth supplies.
That’s the plan. Spaceport Luna will be reality.
I believe that’s the final goal
@@MARILYNANDERSON88for now but I think we need to have resource mining and processing in space to make a transition to large space infrastructure that's more feasible
Very well done video. Love it!
The first full stat launch did not “explode” it was terminated by the use of the flight termination system by launch control.
yes it was terminated before it crashed and exploded.
3:35 correction. The rocket self destructed not exploded. Exploded makes it sound worse then Space X making the decision themselves to destroy the rocket.
Great video, can't wait for the next video 👍
Excellent video. Thanks.
Do they use Boca Chica Starbase not just for test launch but also for actual operation?
Elon is a non-believer. Need I say more?
They haven’t even perfected the Starship, nor mass production of ANY product. That said, I’m rootin’ for them.
SpaceX Starship factory is very impressive. Mass production of reusable Rockets will put SpaceX into the forefront of spacetravel. Xman
Awesome video
Loved it
Thanks a lot you guys
Amazing video, highly needed, thank you
Your vocal delivery is just perfect. Well done.
An excellent assessment articulated visually in a masterful way. Well done as usual
?
And I'm sure without saying, space x will also be the back bone of the space force.
Inspirational video, great work.
Starship flight test did not explode the way you make it sound. The flight termination sytems were activated... so when you talk about this you need to include that.
🕊❤️Awesome⭐️ video⭐️ thank you for sharing is caring god bless you all always and forever ❤️🕊
Great content
My question is not how do they manage to build 1 Starship per day but would NASA or anyo else order 1 per day? Given that they are reusable (let's say every 50 days) than even after just one year we would be able to launch 7 Starships per day. What project would require that capacity and who would finance it?
They'll be used for starlink, and sending stuff to mars
Next year falcon 9 will launch twice a week... Starlink will keep them really busy but the satellite industry is booming right now, they will have tons of private contracts plus NASA contracts. As Elon says, the bottleneck for building a base on the moon and a city on Mars is how much payload they can get their. That said they need a lot of starships launching multiple times a day to achieve the mission. Starship will also play a vital role in building the new space station
illuminati funded it for their depopulation plan
I love this❤, But I hope some people innovate the Sustainability of energy source
'We're blowing up a ship with almost every launch, and why that is a good thing'
I want to share some realities with the video owner. Before I do I complement you on the video which is all accurate since all of the content comes from SpaceX and Elon plus much of the renderings if not all.
First, this factory at Boca Chica is a prototype factory. Just as Tesla was before it bought the Fremont factory. Then in the third iteration came with the Giga factory in Berlin and repeating it in Austin was another. Three iterations.
Now in Boca first were the temporary tents and bays. Second is the starship factory being built now. Third will be a starship version of a giga factory because the present growing building will not do everything needed to get to Mars efficiently. Again, three iterations.
However, there will be a fourth iteration. A factory on Mars after the starter colony is finished by Tesla bots. Why? Because building spaceships on Mars would be easier, faster and cheaper in all respects. Plus the robots on Mars can do the work on spaceships in place of humans and with no safety concerns. Plus starship as designed so far is not needed for all interplanetary missions. Other spaceships need designing for missions not based on bulk cargo delivery from Earth.
Smaller ships for human or robot transportation around Mars are needed. Robots can leave Mars to go other places and don't need food, water, medical or safety concerns. So they can be sent to the asteroid fields just past Mars to find, collect, sample and capture asteroids to return to Mars orbit for processing.
In short, what were seeing at Boca Chica is the second most brief iteration Earth Side after the tents now disappearing then the vertical bays. The fourth iteration being the inevitable first Mars or off planet factory.
By year 2040 Starship will be built by Tesla bots on Mars as the colony expands for humanity. After that is the next chapter.
@@Jay-cf6dz I've muted you because your brain dead.
Wow, breathtaking. How did you know so much about?
This is SOOOO much better than only using the b roll footage omg
I say: Give all starships an opportunity to explode!
We saw SN15 land successfully. Following SpaceX's advertised philosophy of testing a prototype to failure, they should have launched SN15 repeatedly until it went kaboom too. Then a host of many more models were built afterwards and not flown. what gives?
As a Tesla employee we can achieve that challenge.
Can you do real units next to freedom units next time?
Great video btw ;-)
Liked it a lot.
Thanks man !
Good job
Tesla and SpaceX have incredible graphics designers and marketing teams
If thrust is mostly violent burst of pressure, maybe generated via air/jet-engine or chemicals/rocket fuel.
Why nobody ever tried some other method to generate thrust?
Similar wave of thrust can be felt when lightning strikes earth. (Almost few seconds later you can feel pressure wave flowing through atmosphere, house, earth)
It can be channeled into specific direction or funnel.
Or when nuke or something similar go boom, a wave of pressure/thrust is generated.
Or when you play a song with woofer blasting at full volume, similar thrust is generated at low frequency, good enough to vibrate entire house.
What if, you can generate artificial lightening through large enough spark plug, and funnel the pressure release through thuster cone (like in a rocket).
Or woofer with low frequency, generating waves and funneling through thruster.
Maravilha sem palavras sucesso conhecimento e vida nos liberta Deus no comando de tudo
Construction materials shipping Mobotaxi with Mars-FSOrbiting, coming soon. Go Elon! Thanks for that presentation.
Great video. But I think SpaceX will gonna build a much larger Starfactory in the future. The factory in boca chica is far away from the goal of building one Starship per day. They need a hall like Boeing near Seattle or something like that.
Good info. Thanks
elon is just an engineering and production genius . just unbelievable . same with the animations and graphics in the video - amazing !
Yeah he is like Nikolai tesla reincarnated but took a business class this time 😅
Slight correction, Glen is COO of spaceX. Though she I’m sure she would make an excellent CEO. She’s an absolute powerhouse
❤Thank you for love video!And to see this Companies that is doing most structure and beautiful Starship Giga❤🎉Factory❤🤩😍💪❤️🌏
YOUR SUCCESS TO BE ALWAYS IN TOP
Shotwell also said she knows they will use Starship for passenger travel like airplanes.
I thought the majority of starship launches would be from Kennedy space center and only test flights carried out from star base. If so I don't understand why mass production is at star base Texas, that would be a lot of shipping
Thanks for the great video!
Sure wish Spacex well in their (our) venture into space and beyond ! But if they are building (mass producing) one rocket per day they will have to be launching one rocket per day ! Which means it must be reliable before beginning mass production. How a very exciting time for space development !
Is the SLS example shown correctly? It looks like a Saturn V
Yes, I had it noticed before, but the resemblance from that angle is uncanny!
my question: what are the rockets going to be used for?? and will production go on indefinately? who is buying them?
A main use for a large company's expenditure is often to reach a quota that will allow you to write off and receive in funding much more the next year. The only reason I can see for more rockets than astronauts..
This is why the cybertruck was a smaller scale test for what’s to come..
what a great video🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
“Before they even got their chance to explode” 😂😂😂😂
The parallel with the Cybertruck is not the best one. Musk literally said that the main obstacle was supply chain issues during Covid plus they couldn't even build enough of the existing models. Model 3 is a better example imo.
This video is exceptionally well done.I am deeply grateful to you!🤝
The issue we face is the reliability of the raptor engine at this point
I just read “Elon Musk.” Excellent book although I would say it has more breadth than depth. One issue the author had: he combined all the companies that Elon has started and so, unless it had two-thousand pages - it still comes in still at around 600 pages which is nearly twice as long as most BIOs or memoirs probably - that author couldn’t really drill down completely on each company. But after reading I think that Elon has one major ironic advantage over most entrepreneurs over history: it seems to me that Elon is willing to accept going broke to achieve his “stretch goals.” He’s willing to accept many short-term failures for eventual long-term successes. It gives him more freedom to take massive risks, risks that 99-percent of people simply couldn’t psychologically handle. I couldn’t do it because it would be simply too much pressure and I would collapse like a lawn chair.
Taking risks? You mean like criticizing West for militarily supporting Ukraine instead of giving it up to Putin?
I am terrified by his vision of the future. I hope he'll keep his feet on the ground !!
Pretty sure starships will compete with airlines for fast Earth travel.
They didnt manage to fix the "explodes shortly after launch" problems, so they are now going for numbers.
Sounds like it takes them quiet some time to develop starship. I just use my giga press and boom done with the foundation. Everything else is plug and play and then off to planet Z
I do have to say, it’s gonna take more than a single building to accomplish this. Boeing delivers on average nearly 1 jet everyday, and it takes the worlds largest building (try 50 times the floor space of a gigafactory), and many more locations to produce them. Unless SpaceX plans to build the new largest building on earth, they have a long way to go.
Most people think Elon makes changes by small incremental variations of what already exist. When he actually reimagines what should be done and how it’s currently being done most times. He’s already proved that he can achieve more with less time and money so I doubt if achieving more with less space is a far stretch.
@@nnamdiazuakola5254 oh I don’t disagree, his success over what ULA has failed to achieve is remarkable. What I mean is that to mass manufacture such powerful and expensive machines (remember that despite being reusable a ship+booster will still cost half a billion a pop, even when they’re mass produced) will still require industrial capacity dozens of times more than what they have right now. Starbase would practically have to become a whole city to support such an endeavor, which isn’t impossible but definitely won’t be happening anytime soon.
This is off the charts content Mr. Speaker! Have subscribed to all new posts.
One can feel their IQ growing while listening.😅
Starships will be used for global cargo transport, and I believe carbon dioxide and water from the air can be used to produce the methane with excess solar energy. So green fast transport over long distance. Further it has military usage, but that is obvious. Commercial space hotels. Too much to mention. That's why you need a large fleet.
I think their is too much "space" in your head. Space hotels. Get real.
@@Riteaidbob Orbital Assembly are working towards opening the first space hotel by the end of 2025.
Well 1st they will not be building more than 10 Super Heavies. 2nd they designed the simplest ship, so yes... they could build 1 Starship a day if they build an efficient assembly line. Which nothing done in Boca Chica has been logical or efficient. The Star Factory should be flipped. The Mega Bays should be on the other side of the building, more like a round house with a door leading to a Rocket Parking lot. Apparently with 365+ parking spaces. There should be 1 line for the Nosecone. 2 lines just building the 20 Rings, Stamping or Laser Cutting Panels, to be Curled and Welded. Stringer and Components applied, feeding into 7 lines Engine Bay, Tanks, Cargo, Mess, Crew Quarters, Gym. Stacked adding the Down Spout, Common Dome & Header Tanks. Then apply the Heat Shields, then the Flaps then to the Garden, where their electronics can be tested, Engines would only be installed only for Testing and Launch.
I would Assume you build all the Super Heavies First, then Cargo, then Tankers, then finally Crewed. Not counting 2 Luna Landers. Before Mass Production starts.
Glad he had the vision of traveling through the universe. Is there a way to travel without rockets. More like compacted vehicle's. Traveling at super speeds through the universe.
Building gigant toobes not a big problem.. What about Engines?
Amazing that SpaceX was founded in 2002, and 6 years later they were putting payloads in orbit, while blue origin was founded 2 years earlier, and decades later they still haven't put payload 1 in orbit.
How long does it take right now to build on of those rockets
Pumping up expectations is not only an Elon treat.
With that number of rocket, how would that go with polution?
What do we need them for ?
Go Elon Go! 🚀 🚀 🚀
I dont understand how they can pass the rigorous safety procedures and checks to enable that rate of development
I didn't really know that pyramids have such a shape...
Where will all these launch? Boca Chica 1 rocket per day? Or are they going to transport all these rockets to Florida?
I would love to see hundreds of spacestations all the way to Mars.
Fantastic
Does anyone know the reason for the ability to produce one starship a day? Wouldn't the demand be to low for such a goal?
Right on, let's build Starfleet! 🎉🚀 Sign me up.
I’m having a hard time fathoming a rocket a day and there now being quality control issues but what do I know
What purpose would these rockets served??
Get people to mars and ship materials
the space launch system proceeds to then show us a saturn v
There's still a disconnect. You have 50+ astronauts per ship. Each one needs a few years of training. You need 100s of astronauts ready to go now for mass production in months. You can't leave a spacecraft sitting in the weather for a few years.
Very simular to US building ariplanes on an assembly line in WW 2. One a day was their accomplishment.
