Yay! Thanks Ellie.
Thank you for visiting, Ellie! 🚀
Thank you for having me!!!
THANKS FOR THE INFO ELLIE!!
Excellent video Eliana! The lady you interviewed is a great spokesperson for Relativity and women in STEM. We need so many more of these inspiring and successful examples. Someday it will be the norm, not the exception.
Or not. It’s better to select the best people for the job, regardless of their sex. Or gender. Or any other arbitrary criteria not related to their capacity to advance the vision of the company. Are you a STEM person? Did your gender have something to do with wether yes or no? So…
@@iFullgaz You're ignorance is mindboggling.
You are jumping to massive conclusions, and sound like a right wing lunatic.
Them saying there should be more women in the industry doesn't mean the women would get special treatment or be less qualified for a job.
@@iFullgaz I am a bit confused by your reaction. It's always ideally best to have the best people for the job. But that will never be the reality.
I had to look up STEM to see what it meant. It seems to be a school based program to inspire more students into the area of engineering.
I can't extract what you derived from a complementary comment about the whole interview. Did I miss something? New Zealander, (Kiwi), interested in Rocket Lab and other space companies.
@@iFullgazWhat a strange and easily assumable as just a sexist comment. You be you.
Ellie is the prettiest journalist in the business, motivated and energetically pusuing stories to share with humanity. Thank you Ellie we need more journalists like you to repair the journalistic integrity void that has eaten away at our society by the elitists.
Great video - dont be shy about promoting your patreon :)
I am very surprised Ellie does not have more views. I mean, it's about rockets!
Tim Ellis's company is developing their 3D welding technology, to give them that ability to customise to their customers requirements. Great to get another inside look into their latest development and re-purposed building. Last time I saw a video about this was in September 2020. Thanks to Ellie's new Tesla, I can make my Relativity folder richer with new information.
Thank you Ellie & Arwa.
Beautifully genuine interview, thanks Ellie :) Arwa is amazing, love it when the brightest of minds are as excited to demonstrate a vision & the hard work to make it reality.
Ms Kelly: “this is stuff”
Ellie: “wooow!”
Epic
Nice job on the Relativity video Ellie! 😁 That's really awesome what they are doing with 3D printing!
Awesome interview. Arwa reminds me of Gwynne Shotwell. They are both amazing.
I really hope to interview Gwyenne someday!
Great interview! I was really impressed with Arwa as a representative of Relativity Space and with the company as a whole. The only thing I didn't like is the timeline...2026? Unless SpaceX, Blue Origins, and ULA continue to get stuck, will there be anything left for them to carry by that time? I was very impressed by the Aeon engines. This whole thing looks similar to a Falcon 9 but as a methane burner. Methane is much less polluting than Kerolox and could, at least theoretically be net zero emissions though the Sabatier path, but perhaps more easily on Earth with anaerobic digestion and the resultant biogas being purified to spaceflight standards.
As their intended goal is to launch to Mars, the fuel needs to be methane. If they are going to refuel on Mars, like SpaceX is, that would be the smartest choice. I don't know if they will re-launch? Unless they are going to act as a 'Mars courier' of samples/crew, to an orbiting body? That would be a niche business model.
With the vision of Relativity Space and SpaceX, I think we are going to Mars, whether we know it or not. What exciting missions lies ahead of us?
we proud for you arwa ❤
Relativity seems to be on the right track for success. Still a long time though to prove Terran-R's value to the industry.
Great video, worth the trip.
Thank you Ellie for interviewing them and giving us exposure to what they do. I am a SpaceX fan but I always keep a close eye on RocketLab and Relativity.
Awesome interview.
I can't wait to see Relativity do amazing things!! I'm excited for them and for us!!
Prior to Boeing, it was McDonnell Douglas. I worked on the MD-11 autopilot, auto-throttle integration and had access to the motion-based simulator there. The philosophy of having the employees close to the product is 180 degrees from what the old tin-benders did. We had some significant morale issues and requested from leadership that people actually get to see the test article. They said that was foolish.
Very informative and inspiring. This was a great one. thanks!
Wow she was great! thanks for doing this!
Love your way of interview , content and professionalism. It is reallly outstanding compared to the dozens of clickbait Channels
All the effort you've put into creating this inspiring content is well appreciated by your supporters Ellie and the end product is well worth it ❤
This was an awesome look into Relativity. I really never gave them much thought before this vid, Ellie! Ms. Kelly was a very good spokeswoman for the company!
Yet again, I thank you, Ellie, for bringing new content to educate and inform! Bill
Great video no dought 3d printing or something like it is the obvious future of production here on earth and hopefully off earth one day ❤
Love the channel a lot, hope in the near future i can help with more than just a thanks a lot for the job you are doing...
Wow, Ellie. So informative! You put so much effort into this. I can't believe you drove half a continent to make this for us. Thank you so much!
To be able to work for them, with them would be so great. Hopefully you are inspiring young people into this field. Thanks Ellie for bringing this.
Great interview, Ellie! Relativity Space seems to be doing some really good rockets (did I hear that right 23 metric tons to LEO?). In the launch shown, the cluster of thrust diamonds was the prettiest, most regular I've ever seen. As for what's next, I am astonished that the horizontal printing process was even tried and more so that it seems to be working for them; I hope the new rocket fires up as beautifully as the first. Keep those interviews coming. You're the best.
From their web site: To Low Earth Orbit with reusable stage1: 23,500kg. To LOE with expended Stage 1: 33,500kg.
To Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) with Reusable Stage1: 5,500kg
As a comparison: SpaceX Falcon9 Block 5, launched Intelsat 40e/TEMPO on April 7th with estimated weight of 5,440kg (11,990lb) with recoverable Booster B1076-4
to a GTO of 554km. The satellite has a Power Propulsion System to keep it in orbit for it's planned 15 year lifecycle.
On 28th July, SpaceX Falcon Heavy with 2 recoverable side boosters and expended center Booster, launched EchoStar 24/Jupiter 3 communication satellite, weighing 9,200kg to a GTO of 28,887km.
Great interview! It is excellent to see how much progress Relativity is making and hear from one of the engineers working there.
Thanks, Ellie. I had not heard of Relativity before this. I guess this adds to the overall impression of confusion in the participants and missions. At least with NASA and the Appollo missions, it was easy to mentally model how they work. Now, it is kind of like understanding Grand Central Station to divine the interconnectedness of the routes. Why did I think it would be easy?!
Good job on getting to visit! Hope you can get into SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA, Astra, Arianespace, Rocket Factory Augsburg etc too.
I know RFA would LOVE to have me, should I go to Germany!?
@@ellieinspace Aber natürlich! 🙂 No, I'm not German but RFA did test their rocket engine at a rocket range here in Sweden.
@@ellieinspace If you come here you can also visit our neighbors in Copenhagen Suborbitals.
@@ellieinspace YES!
I am a huge Space X fan, but I really like Relativity Space and what they are trying to do. I am also pulling for Firefly, ULA Vulcan and even Blue Origin. Not China or Russia, it's the United States that has the best space program in the world and it's something we should be really proud of....
Rather a bold statement, considering the earlier USSR was 'first' in so many ways. This is what catalysed the US into action, resulting in 'upstaging' them and finally getting the lead in the 'Space Race' and then on to the moon. But the past USSR, now Russia, have a very successful record of rocket launch's and satellites to date. And in 1971 unsuccessfully landed 1 of 2 robotic rovers on Mars. But bear in mind NASA had early failures too.
China is launching rockets reliably, built their own space station (far more bigger and modern than the ageing ISS) and do space walks. China landed its Zhurong rover on Mars in May 2021
Yes, you can be proud of the US space program, but bear in mind, a lot of these companies are private enterprises. The China and Russia builds are state owned.
And behind the US space program are a lot of allied countries with strong associations to America.
So there is a big difference between the 3 country's in terms of political and social methodology.
But it is only because of recent events, (the last 20 years) by focused individuals, that has lifted the NASA 'stick in the mud' and 'throw money at it' policies, that have resulted in giving NASA and the White House a kick in the pants and moved it out of it's costly 'slow process' ways.
Free enterprise is now giving space technology a 'shot in the arm'. Governments still have to convince the tax payers, that this is worth it, or there could become a resistance against this drive to put habitats on the Moon, which is a pre-cursor for proceeding to Mars.
And if that happens, going to Mars will not be a Government sanctioned mission, but an individually financed one. And that could be a very interesting political 'hot potato', if an individual set's up on Mars and gives a big 1 finger salute to all the countries and religions 'control mechanisms' and forms their own type of 'Martian autonomous collective'. A society that relies heavily on each other, because if some machine breaks down or an air leak happens in the habitat, the lives of the whole community is in a life or death balance. Each individual's knowledge and input is crucial. Interesting times ahead for sure.
Great video, thanks Ellie! Go Relativity!!
Very nice tour! 👌🏼
Great video! Thanks for making the trip.
@23:35 About 20 years ago, my wife had a similar experience. In one of her (as yet unpublished) young-reader novels which she read to an elementary school class, one of the secondary characters is a young girl whose knowledge and competence in fixing electronic circuits is an important plot point. After the reading, one of the little girls in the class came up to her and said something to the effect of "I didn't know a girl could be the smart one". I sometimes wonder what she did with herself later.
Fantastic tour and interview. Impressive history and thought process. Inspiring on so many levels.
Glad you enjoyed it!🥰
I am glad I stumbled upon this video of yours. A fantastic interview and to Relativity Space all my best wishes for a great future ahead!
Enjoyed that you have Partnered with ALSET as an advertiser for _Ellie in Space'😅
Very well done...great interview, well presented, an exciting project and very informative! 10/10!!!
Much appreciated!
Nicely done! This was very interesting to see their progress.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video ❤❤❤
I am a supporter ❤
Thanks so much❤️🥹
Great interview and well put video. Thanks.
As to recent Patreon sign offs, may have to do with some of your Elievated content .
This is fantastic
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
Watching this print reminds me or reflects on book two of the Delta-V books printing the space station and other pieces.
Worth the trip - that was really interesting!
😊 it's crazy how this video got so many less views than normal. I think it's one of her better ones
The factory in Long Beach is so big you have to use a cart to get around.
Her hair is so awesome. I bet you were so jealous. You are awesome in your own right, but that hair was very impressive.
her hair is beautiful aha my hair has NEVER been that long even trying my hardest, she has gr8 genetics!
Thanks, Ellie! Lucky name tag…just…saying.😅
Two things: ATTAGIRL and, QUESTION: Firstly, this is the single most informative video (for me, anyway) you’ve done; and the Relativity employee could not possibly have been a better spokesperson for her team’s efforts!! QUESTION: Going from vertical to horizontal printing of The Big Stuff for Terran R, begs the question: how have they handled the question of gravity sag as you slowly print-out long segments horizontally? It’s an issue you don’t have to worry about when going up vertically; but of course, have the building facility/height issue, which is resolved if you can just switch to horizontal printing. BUT….now the Demon Gravity is there trying to, er, screw you up…..How are they mitigating that demon? - Dave Huntsman
I can only theorize that the welding head position was at the left hand side, at about 90 degrees from the top, to allow a period of time for the metal to cool and be hard enough, so that when it continued it's set rotation speed, the centrifugal outward force/Gravity and the cooling rate, compensate for the sag. Also their aluminium alloy probably has some factors to allow good binding to the already hardened layer. As a couch potato engineer, that's my thoughts.
👍🏻🙏🏻❤️
You should come to new Zealand 🇳🇿 do a part on dawn aerospace and rocketlab
The Terran team are the B team that NASA need to have as Backup. I hope they wake up to it before they give away too much to dysfunctional money wasting delay producing alternatives like BO … I’m glad to see the Advanced Rocket builders are employing many qualified Women as well as men Rocket Scientists …
Did they reach out to Ellie, or did Ellie ask for the chance to get a tour?
I asked to get a tour in August of 2022 😂
One year down the track where are they at?
Whereas in Exclusive Economic Zone;
An exclusive economic zone (EEZ), as prescribed by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, is an area of the sea in which a sovereign state has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources, including energy production from water and wind.[1] It stretches from the outer limit of the territorial sea (12 nautical miles from the baseline) out to 200 nautical miles (nmi) from the coast of the state in question. It is also referred to as a maritime continental margin and, in colloquial usage, may include the continental shelf. The term does not include either the territorial sea or the continental shelf beyond the 200 nautical mile limit. The difference between the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone is that the first confers full sovereignty over the waters, whereas the second is merely a "sovereign right" which refers to the coastal state's rights below the surface of the sea. The surface waters are international waters.[2]
Generally, a state's exclusive economic zone is an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, extending seaward to a distance of no more than 200 nmi (370 km) out from its coastal baseline.[3] The exception to this rule occurs when exclusive economic zones would overlap; that is, state coastal baselines are less than 400 nmi (740 km) apart. When an overlap occurs, it is up to the states to delineate the actual maritime boundary.[4] Generally, any point within an overlapping area defaults to the nearest state.[5]
A state's exclusive economic zone starts at the seaward edge of its territorial sea and extends outward to a distance of 200 nmi (370 km) from the baseline. The exclusive economic zone stretches much further into sea than the territorial waters, which end at 12 nmi (22 km) from the coastal baseline (if following the rules set out in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea).[6] Thus, the exclusive economic zones includes the contiguous zone. States also have rights to the seabed of what is called the continental shelf up to 350 nmi (650 km) from the coastal baseline, beyond the exclusive economic zones, but such areas are not part of their exclusive economic zones. The legal definition of the continental shelf does not directly correspond to the geological meaning of the term, as it also includes the continental rise and slope, and the entire seabed within the exclusive economic zone.
The idea of allotting nations' EEZs to give them more control of maritime affairs outside territorial limits gained acceptance in the late 20th century;
Initially, a country's sovereign territorial waters extended 3 nmi or 5.6 km (range of cannon shot) beyond the shore. In modern times, a country's sovereign territorial waters extend to 12 nmi (22 km) beyond the shore. One of the first assertions of exclusive jurisdiction beyond the traditional territorial seas was made by the United States in the Truman Proclamation of 28 September 1945. However, it was Chile and Peru respectively that first claimed maritime zones of 200 nautical miles with the Presidential Declaration Concerning Continental Shelf of 23 June 1947 (El Mercurio, Santiago de Chile, 29 June 1947) and Presidential Decree No. 781 of 1 August 1947 (El Peruano: Diario Oficial. Vol. 107, No. 1983, 11 August 1947).[7]
It was not until 1982 with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea that the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone was formally adopted;
The exact extent of exclusive economic zones is a common source of conflicts between states over marine waters;
The South China Sea is the setting for several ongoing disputes between regional powers including China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia;
Croatia's ZERP (Ecological and Fisheries Protection Zone) in the Adriatic Sea caused friction with Italy and Slovenia, and caused problems during the accession of Croatia to the European Union.
A wedge-shaped section of the Beaufort Sea is disputed between Canada and the United States, as the area reportedly contains substantial oil reserves;
Mauritius claims an EEZ for Tromelin Island from France and an EEZ in respect of the British Indian Ocean Territory from the UK. An Exclusive Economic Zone covering 2.3 million square kilometres is claimed by Mauritius;
Turkey claims a portion of Cyprus's claimed EEZ based on Turkey's definition that no islands, including Cyprus, can have a full EEZ[8][9] and should only be entitled to 12 nautical miles. Furthermore, the internationally unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) also claims portions of Cyprus's claimed EEZ. Cyprus, intergovernmental organizations, and other territories, such as the European Union, United States, Russia, Israel, Switzerland, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia do not acknowledge the Turkish claims[10][11][12][13][14] on Cyprus's land and claimed sea, and urge Turkey to restrain itself from "illegal" drilling for gas in the island's claimed EEZ.[a] The EU has threatened Turkey with economic and political sanctions for violating Cyprus's claimed EEZ.[26][27]
Greece claims a continental shelf and EEZ for all of its islands in the Aegean Sea (including Kastellorizo that has 11.98 km2 surface area) but Turkey refuses to recognize this, arguing that this claim is in violation of the principle of fairness of international law;
Greece claims that the maritime deal between the internationally recognized GNA government of Libya and Turkey is illegal and it signed a counter agreement with Egypt.[28]
Lebanon claims that the agreement between Cyprus and Israel overlapped its own EEZ;
Japan claims an EEZ around Okinotorishima, but this is disputed by China, Taiwan, and South Korea, who claim it is an islet which is incapable of generating an EEZ;

I think the Tesla won that contest...
they been 3d printing rockets for a long time now so...
Show me a 3d printed flying saucer.
Finally you start posting your upcoming streams.
I'm not a sub, but I don't sub for anyone
Hi, much prefer the more modest summer dress look. Hope to meet at Vancover, ps kindness is still free. Im geting my neices to watch you.
Great non Elon/SpaceX content
What , three years from now it’s way too slow
You're so interesting. Keep up the great work.
I thought the original relativity launch failed. Thanks for letting us know all about Relativity and how fascinating they are
📡🛰️🚀
Ellie stop buying your dresses at omar the Tent Maker .
I can hook you up with beautiful dresses.
we proud for you arwa ❤
