SpaceX’s Mechazilla Is More Mind Blowing Than You Think! 

Well, there’s still things to be discovered, an ocean to explore and technology to advance. That quote imo is just an excuse to not do anything

Well there are a few places on earth that you haven’t explored.

It's most likely that a landing platform would be constructed by autonomous robotics before anything like Starship made a landing with cargo and crews. But we are probably a century away from doing any colonizing off-world, if we ever get to that point.

@@TheGrateWall America has in fact collapsed and now we are forced to play it out. The original civil war took 2 years before the first gunshots were fired. Antifa and proud boys just had a gun fight in Portland this week Be happy. Hard times bring out the strongest men.

@@pointmanzero eh it’s Portland. We’ll just rope it off and consider it a designated “civil war zone” for now on. I think we can still salvage the situation even if small bouts of violence continue. We can’t let our country fall because a certain percentage of us have the mental maturity of an angry 8 year old. Call me an optimist, but I think assuming the worst might just bring the worst out of us.

@@pointmanzero No. You can't tell the future. Nobody can. See how easy that was?

Catching on the tower means the engines stay farther from the ground so less dust kick up

The moon and Mars landing will likely use the different engine configuration that is much higher up on the ship. Hopefully that will reduce the amount of dust and dirt that is kicked up. Regardless we will need another ship to do the filming when that time comes.

This is why the will probably start and land on an Oil-Rig-like platform on the sea.

I mean, kinda makes doing all the work on a render useless if you just cover it with a cloud of dust lol

Welcome to Government Oversight.

Nope, he was proven wrong, then had to update to be right. Which happen systematicly, every error.

They never admit later they said anything.

He's not proved anyone wrong about anything like hyperloop non feasible. The tunnel in Vegas with high speed transit not high speed but low speed with Tesla cars no pods like promised. Tesla cars having problems and expensive. Teslas Nikola semi truck no long hauls and reduced cargo. Suggest you see Thundef00ts videos about his so called proving people wrong.

@@TheGreatSnafoo Of course he proved the big space launch companies wrong by building the Falcon 9 and now capturing most of the global launches using reusable boosters. Next he will prove everyone wrong with the fully reusable Starship.

As a big fan of Elon, I wouldn't say he keeps on proving people wrong. He is right a lot of times but often times he is wrong too. See hyperloop, biggest let down of all of Musk's ideas.

It's a fairly simple calculation

@@victorgrumbo1555 yeah... Multiplying 395 with 0,3048 in the middle of watching a fun video is really delightful

@@ff_1917 395 is pretty much 400 and 0.3048 is pretty much 0.3, so about 120m. I personally feel using , to separate the fraction part is even worse than using ft.

I just multiply or divide an even 3 ! Example 120 meters is 360 ft or 360ft is 120 meters its close enough i need to learn how to read Celsius to Fahrenheit ! Lol

@@ff_1917 i would hope that dividing by 3 would get you close enough to be able to "imagine" the size. Good cry for attention, though, you nailed it

They should probably have a backup plan

I’m sure the starship will make it all the way to the crash site… no problem.

@@kindnesschrisbriss7874 They will have two towers eventually so there is back up plan. Starship itself will land on the surface,

You think they didnt think about it? It is far more risky sending few big ships than a lot of small ones. The other factor is building such ship takes way more time, but small ones can be built faster and they will start shipping the cargo way sooner.

Many people watching don’t use the metric system so I’m sure it’s more for their followers than anything.

You should remember that all the “big boys” in the rocket industry reached the conclusion that reusable rockets were too expensive and could never be operated profitably. They were wrong about that too.

I do not think that the capability of such a pin point landing for the arms to catch it exist yet. The rockets and technology are just not reliable enough. But, I am in agreement with you. I am ready to be proven wrong also.

I think if anyone or any company can pull this off it's SpaceX and musk. It's a big if though because they still haven't even landed a falcon 9 first stage perfectly on target. It's always off by a few feet.

@@3dtexan890 The booster will have the capacity to hoover which even the Falcon 9 not starship could do. That simplifies the problem greatly.

@@3dtexan890 the tech is there, it’ll work.

... is this a joke? Lol

Stick to drinking bootleg vodka and krokodil

Yo know what having big feet means !

Just make sure to use the King's foot.

And that is why there will be more than one launch site.

that's not much if you consider how low musk wants to push the price per kg into space. and it's a many generation project

OK, lets say he does that, why?

We may not reach 1000 ships per launch window by 2050. If we take 10 launch windows between the years 2028-2050. Starting with 2 ships in 2028. During the 10th launch window. Number of ships could be ~200. Right know it's hard to imagine fleet of 1000+ ships. Imagining a fleet on 250 ships (2050) sounds much more realistic. Well a lot can happen during this 30 year period.

At the moment 3 fights a day doesn't seem viable; but if space infrastructure really gets going then 3 a day may (or maybe more realistically one or two a day) becomes much more doable in the latter half of that time frame. Also there's already plans if/when starship is successful to build a rocket almost twice as big, which will reduce the total rockets needed; not to mention if other companies start really catching up to Space X in that time and start sending their own ships. Might be a little optimistic, but i guess one way to look at it is that Starship, from the materials to the full re-usability, has been designed to be mass produced; and that shows to an extent in how quickly they're cranking out the prototypes. They'll obviously be more work to do on completed versions, but once they've settled on a working design I think they're going to build up a fleet on them pretty quickly; and assuming competition grows to match over time then the number of launches and general activity in orbit/space is going to start increasing exponentially.

The funny question is what happens with the 1000 ship in that window? I mean launch them to LEO and wait? On one of the space X video I've seen that starship needs 3 refuels before it can start the journey towards Mars. So we either cut capacity to allow launch for the tankers or we need an extra 3000 launches to refuel each starship. That's a lot of rockets up and down. So then we start these as they are refuelled? Or park them and start the fleet together? If they are parked then we would need extra launches to deliver food for the parked ones if they are parked for longer than a day or two (we don't want to eat into their rations for the trip) I am not saying it's not possible, but sounds like a logistical challenge

Same, but... Jeff who ?

I remember when BO was just another small time player , now its literally the space industries biggest obstacle to overcome. Its fine if they want to play the contract games that have stagnated the industry for 50 years, but at least let the people with vision climb the mountain, its hard enough as it is. No wonder they're hemorrhaging staff.

Cry baby BO. SUING ANYONE who are better than them.. They're getting good at suing SpaceX for anything minor they can get. Imma bet that some hidden dealings occurred to get SpaceX into trouble with some environmental agency, for essentially building something on their legally owned property.

More like year 1 of the Expanse - no ridiculous Mr Rogers in Space trek bullshit.

I think it could probably be upto 15 feet off and still catch it since the ship is so big

That thing could hover though, no need for suicide burns, falcon 9 is always a bit off target because it just ignites the engines at the last moment, super heavy is gonna hover, so, better accuracy

@@calebjowens it doesn't work like that

@@whyiseverysinglehandletaken2 this indeed, the hover gives it a bit of leeway in all axes. Too high or low on the floor is boom, too high or low but close to the tower = grab.

It doesn't need to be that accurate, think of a funnel, it funnels it down to where it needs to connect. Similar to how we do air to air refueling.

And nothing was lost

@@kineticinstallationspecial5775 Actually a whole Mars lander was lost through imperial dumbarsery so yeah, nah lol.

Really? Thats your problem with this video? Not the fact that all those turbo pump Raptor engines have got to fly all the way to Mars after being used for 1 burn and then relight to land or else everyone on board dies! One engine dont relight and they're dead.

​@@joshcanttakeajoke2853 You went a bit extreme there, but ok. First, i didn't mention anything about the Starship or the engines. I have my full confidence in SpaceX engineers and i know they will do their jobs properly and those engines will be just fine, even tho they have a major task ahead of them. Second, Starship and its raptor engines are still a long way from actually flying towards mars, so SpaceX have a lot of time to make sure their engines will be more than capable for the task at hand. Third, they can lose 1 engine and still be fine (on Starship itself. On booster, they can lose multiple engines and still be fine). Fourth, if you want to sound correct, smart and moral when talking about raptor engines, don't say "turbo pump raptor engines," because it makes you look stupid and childish. Just say raptor engine OR call them by what they are... a full-flow staged combustion cycle rocket engine. I don't want to be rude to you, but next time don't come back at me with a comment that has nothing to do with the topic that i brought to our attention. Honestly, i am impressed by how much you have said wrong in such a short comment.

So gotta ask do you think the earth is flat? Or just space flight is fake?

@@the_seeker.entity9206 It's a running joke since the Tesla Roadster in outer space stunt. Elon himself has joked about this incident saying "It looks so fake it has to be real". In regard to our planet, I'm much more concerned about it's present state than it's shape.

Ha, you saying like the Hyperloop ?

The weather will affect turnaround time. That region is fairly consistent weather-wise but can be a target for hurricanes or tropical storms just like any other part of the eastern facing coast. I am sure that once flights become routine, weather concerns will be less and less an issue just like passenger jet travel is today.

American technology... Get over it.

We already have prototype radiation bunkers. Mars still has 1/3 earth gravity so bone loss is expected to be less than the space stations. Perchlorates? They'll do the same shit they did on the moon but better they'll clean suit.

Radiation on Mars is not a big deal. I've heard this "radiation problem" tens of times during the years by mainstream media. All you need is around 50cm layer of ice or gravel + habitable module itself. If you compare radiation dose on Earth to Mars's. If you spent 2 years on Mars, unprotected from radiation. You'll get all the exposure, normal human being receives during his/hers lifetime. Meaning ~0.6 Sv. We are talking about levels which are absolutely not instantly dangerous. Or even in the longer timespan. Imagine living on Mars for 40 years. Spending 4 years of it outside, 36 years protected. That's only twice the dose every human receives on Earth.

@@spinnymathingy3149 "Never" in this case means approximately a century long period. Firstly, colonies doesn't have to be a city of 100k people.

@@k0rpi681 well, as mentioned in my difficulties on Mars, not everything can be fixed , if any. We’re stuck with the colder than arctic temperatures, we can’t make an atmosphere, the radiation will mostly confine us to underground, the soil/dust by all accounts is toxic to us That’s just the start of things out of our control that can’t be fixed Even in 200 years Somewhere the narrative has to define the difference of science fiction and science facts.
