19:31 Why is this question always asked about space exploration? No one ever says, "Why are we spending time and money on movies, music, literature, and art. Those pursuits do nothing to solve problems on Earth."
Yeah it's ridiculous. 99.999% of all companies do nothing to deal with the urgent problems here on earth. In fact most of them are escalating the problems. Why should a man who through Tesla and Solar City is trying to make clean energy practical and affordable be under so much scrutiny because he also happens to wanna send people to Mars? What has he done that justifies him being held to such radically higher standards than any other CEO?
muchograndeyolatengo because we have to go to Mars. Better chance of survival. Also, when the earth is too hot to live, Mars will be our home. We have to get started sometime. Better do it now
Cause life is art hellooo, and it can solve many problems on earth cause it came from the earth, and from the skies, and..... Science is expensive and we have sooo many poor people while wasting so much at the same time. Anyway, I can understand why you are asking that
SavatageIsMyReligion technically speaking, life is not art. It's science. And where do you think science comes from? It's observation of nature. So your argument is invalid.

"Normal, sane, people" just don't have the drive, determination, and vision to do what SpaceX has done. They're the ones who say, "That can't be done." It is the irrational madman who responds, "Oh yeah? Well, watch me!"
Elon has a grand vision. Gwynne Shotwell took the hardest part of that vision and is making it happen. Do you see a common theme? SpaceX (travel to Mars), SolarCity (power generation and storage on Mars), Tesla Electric cars and pickup trucks (transport around the city on Mars), and Boring Company (underground radiation protection).
11:01 - So humble, "Yeah, there's no question, it will change the world." Here's a woman girls can look up to. Not the raving bug-eyed feminists on college campuses. A woman who wants to build rather than tear down. What a breath of fresh air.
Vanargand how can you tell? A feminist cannot be well-spoken and smart? There's nothing wrong with being a feminist, especially in a macho world. If you keep women out of the equation and of the decision-making process, you do not allow half of humanity to contribute to our future.

We choose to go to Mars. We choose to go to Mars in next decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
No Name I think manned missions will have to start in the 2030’s, but unmanned missions will hopefully and likely start earlier!! And not like rover missions, but missions to send supplies or something. To test all the systems for deep space!
Do you imagine the contamination on the planet generated by dozens of those being deployed each day? Space X is already burning lots of fossil fuels... By the way, no one talks about the gulf of mexico, even here in mexico no one seems to care about the radioactive scraps of starship that landed there, it is kind of sad.
I wonder if they're considering the name "BAMF Truck." They already got the Models S,3,X. Someone's gotta go there and ask who's in charge of product nomenclature and push for "BAMF Truck."
Its just take 8.30 min to reach earth orbit aka space. And 90 min to take complete one orbit with speed 17500 miles/hr as ISS moving... So its quite possible
No. This is what happens when you remove critical thinking processes, and even engineers get caught up in pseudoscience unicorns and fairy dust. Chemical rockets will NEVER replace airplanes as a safe mode of transportation.
@NovaComputing -The average commercial jet can operate safely over 30,000 pressurized cycles. Chemical rockets explode, on the average,of every 200 launches. Care to guess why that is?
Anyone who thinks business travelers are going to endure gut wrenching G forces, Max Q vibrations, and a huge risk of burning up,on re-entry into earth's atmosphere, (not to mention an extremely high failure rate on the launch pad while loading fuel), just for the farcical promise of a 30 minute intercontinental trip, is a damn fool.

Anyone can be confident selling complete BS. She shown some CGI and said it be cool to fly on meeting half way around world and be home for dinner. She presented zero explanations on how that would work, she just make claims with "within decade" timeline hoping in decade everyone will forget and focus on their next amazing project that will never be completed
She has most visionary and can-do attitude of anyone I've seen. Not only that, but she can also hold a conversation a lot better than Elon. Just from this talk alone, I think you can see why she is where she is. She is one of the many components that is making the company so successful.
“Mars is a fixer upper planet there’s work to be done there... but I want to meet people, or whatever they call themselves, in other solar systems!” Love this enthusiasm 🚀👩🏻🚀
That should be the goal for everyone, to journey out into the galaxy and visit other solar system's/see other civilizations on other planets. We already know they are flying around out there, they just haven't properly introduced themselves to us yet. (For obvious reasons)
The exuberance that radiates from her is just 'out of this world' All one can see is an extremely motivated engineer who is super proud of what she is doing. No wonder SpaceX achieves all these seemingly impossible targets. The earth is forever indebted to these amazing scientists and engineers at SpaceX. Go SpaceX go.
Technically, she isn't wrong. But... You don't get to pick when to take off. You don't get to pick where to take off. You don't get to pick where to land. You spend several days preparing for the flight. The weather must be absolutely perfect. Your flight will be rescheduled several times at the last second.
That's a real woman, secure and confident in her ability and self. Feminists should look up to woman like her and cut out their bullshit. Today's feminists looks more like insecure, attention seeking bitches.
Good question. Channels and media stations only give people what they want to see, mostly. So blame the large majority of passive TV viewers who don't even care what is served up in front of them? And government run TV stations have their own agenda altogether. Luckily like minded and interested people like us also have RU-vid and the rest of the internet where news and info like this is freely available and accessible to ANYONE around the world. Well, almost everyone. Some countries still censor their internet but that's not RU-vid or SpaceX's fault.

@@TCV12 I know a bit about it, Ive taken astrophysics classes and have played a lot of ksp. Do you? Jet engines are much much much more efficient than rocket engines. You can run the numbers, I will be right.
@@TCV12 where are your arguments apart from attacking me? Dreamliners can carry 3x more than musk's dubious 100 person claims while burning much much less fuel. Planes don't need to carry oxidiser, which is means more weight for the rocket to push. Jet engine isps are like 6000 while rockets are less than 600 ie 10x more efficient
@@TCV12 Rockets are super inefficient (only 1-2% is payload) and extremely dangerous, but simply a necessity to bring stuff into space. If they could fly a normal plane into space, NO ONE would be using rockets to transport people. Yet Musk claims he will be using rockets to fly people around the globe like airplanes and that it will all work out great. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand how dumb this idea is.
The Panacea 2:20 she states to sell rockets, "it's all about relationships and making a connection with these customers [NASA]..."?#%*? so itz not about the quality/efficiency/tech advances/SAFETY/etc??! she gives me a feeling that at least one of her TRUE top priorities is not the safety of future passengers
Of course that's her top priority.. would you buy a car when you know there's a high chance of dying in it? And selling the rockets is necessary to succeed in their vision. It's literally their businessmodel.
PNathan itz over your head...cant discuss w ppl like u who think theyre bright but not. u practically made a baseless assumption... my guess is that it is more likely that not that safety is NOT her TOP priority (ie, not her #1 priority). the Co will of course say to the public that safety is their top priority but in reality it will likely be just one of their priorities. but hey, this is just my opinion. my point was specifically on how she responded to that question. try thinking about it AGAIN and dont be so naive
The energy and forces that rockets have to endure are so extreme it won't for a very long time even remotely be a form of travel nearly as safe as wingsuits. It's simply physics.
Feminism is cancer. Precisely because she is no feminist, just a FEMALE HUMAN doing the SAME JOB as any other HUMAN, she is so successful. She's a woman that's good at her job. Just like Elon is a man that's good at his job. No feminist cancer, no identity politics, NONE OF IT.
@Andrew Brent Point is she didn't make a big deal out of the fact she was a women, because that wasn't important. Modern extreme "feminists" tend to be the people pushing for positive discrimination, blaming the patriarchy for everything, publicly expressing a hatred for men, etc. This is of course a vast minority, but it's kinda tainted the word a little.
I think you're confusing things here. Feminist activism is important. If not for these feminist activists u despise, women like Gwynne would not have ever allowed to pursue their dreams.
She doesn't have to be some man-hating crazy feminist to be where she is...The real work in western counties was done long ago...This feminism nowadays is toxic, they even attack other women...They talk about toxic masculinity, they should stop and look in the mirror as they are corrosive to anyone who disagrees.
Gwynne Shotwell got into engineering but she doesnt understand basic school grade physics and chemistry. literally a salesperson that sells nothing with the promise of everything and ppl are that dumbed down notice the double speak and empty sentences.
BioQuickie - It really is. These people fail to realize the solutions to alot of major problems here are the same solutions Mars needs. A Mars program gives us immediate incentive to find these solutions.
Agreed. People fail to realize that one of the potential benefits of interplanetary travel is that resources that are scarce on earth might just be available on other planets. Take for instance Titan, a moon of Saturn. It has an atmosphere of methane a resource that is on the decline on Earth. Also it is to be noted that in order to reach a point where we can make inter planetary travel commercially viable we need to test. Sure the results that arise by testing launches may not be fruitful but the lessons learned may be and will make future launches better hopefully. The same applied to the development of cars and airplanes. So I don't see any excuse for rockets.
What an amazing person... I hope she knows that she has become her own idol to an infinitely greater scale for current 15 year old girls. She’s a rockstar.

She manages the relationships with private companies and government leaders. She is in charge of sales and maintaining those relationships. She does a great job at it, too. All while knowing the ins and out of the rocket etc... great fit
Liam Dunphy he is the head engineer he isn’t just a businessman at heart he is an engineer and spends around a hundred hours weekly on doing what he loves (engineering) and carrying out his dreams
Using their rockets to go from New York to Shanghai reminds me of the Concorde. It was a brilliant idea that couldn't be economized into a lasting reality.
Not to mention the Concorde didn't have to be treated like a massive bomb when it was fueled and ready to fly. If people think that the on/off boarding process for one of these rockets wont be hours on hours, they have never seen a rocket prep for flight. Especially when you cant just launch one in the middle of your city.
The problem with a supersonic aircraft is that it has to push its way through the atmosphere for the entire flight. A suborbital vehicle just has to climb up above the atmosphere, then it is much easier to accelerate. It only has to consume propellant as it is doing that, and then again when it lands. It does not have to push itself through the air for the entire trip.
Yeah, it’s totally impracticable. First they won’t be permitted to launch. Second boarding will be very difficult and slow. 3rd the landing will be extremely dangerous.
Suborbital travel between different parts of Earth is far from a new idea but in a world where even sub sonic airliners are being criticized for their fuel use, a rocket doesn't sound like a very good idea. From my home in the North of England it is possible to travel to London by car and train, in the morning, and then fly to California arriving in time for dinner. Very few people need to travel faster than that.
16:52 “Within a decade.” We’re four years away from that decade mark. Starship has yet to achieve orbit with an empty payload, has yet to return a booster intact, and has yet to successfully re-enter. There is absolutely no way it will be flying ordinary passengers to terrestrial destinations in 4 years. Just the safety certification alone is likely a decade away from first getting it working in space, and we haven’t even reached that milestone yet.
It'll probably only be astronauts and other scientists living there for the first decade or so. Lots of dangers in everyday life and lots of infrastructure needs to be set up in those settings for a relatively stable life. Industrial companies will come eventually and some time after that, it'll be feasible for average people to go there. But it'll still be with massive compromises: no ocean, no outdoor nature, small living quarters, risky being on the surface and/or limited freedom of travel. Earth will remain a paradise in comparison for at least a hundred years. And even then, only a global cataclysm would make Mars better overall.
@@johnpearcey Even a seasonal SARS-CoV-2 is nothing compared to the unforgiving environment on Mars. I guess you'd come close if you're locked in a self-sustained bunker like Survival Condo, Kansas. But you'd still have the luxury of live communication with people on Earth, quick access to modern supplies and products from Earth's economy etc.
This is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen... Maybe in 100+ years if there's some kind of breakthrough in rocket technology. Present day this isn't even close to feasible. Modern day rockets have about a 95% success rate, so about 5% of the time they explode in a spectacular fashion... And she wants 10X more being used than airplanes, that's 10's of failures a day and everybody on them dead... Rockets would need to be made thousands upon thousands of times safer and we don't nearly have the technology to do that at the moment, the materials and fuel don't currently exist. I'd worry about making them before putting forward these grand ideas... That safety record has barely changed in about 50 years, it turns out accelerating a huge rocket to about 7 miles a second is incredibly difficult and dangerous... Who'd have thought? Trying to make that safe for passengers? Get real! People are often scared of flying on a plane, I'd scale that fear up about 1000X getting in a rocket... Also the vast majority of a space rocket is allocated to fuel, so it leaves very little room for cargo... It's a terrible idea. This is from the company with the owner of Tesla, who claims to be looking to a greener future, whilst recommending rocket ships instead of airplanes and 10X as many... The mind boggles...
@@RichMiniön-r2m The falcon rocket is impressive I don't dispute that, but it's not nearly impressive as it needs to be to make this venture work, not even close, nor is it anything particularly new... As I said the martials and fuel doesn't currently exist to make something like that work. 1-5% failure rate... With planes, over a 10 year period 0.6 fatal accidents happened per one million flights, rather than 1-5 out of 100 with rockets... That's how many orders of magnitude rockets need to be made safer for this idea... It's a pipe dream at best and delusional at worst. Rockets are basically a controlled explosion used for propulsion, making that safe is incredibly challenging, which is why nothing's really changed in over 50 years in terms of safety. They're launching from a starship? Care to elaborate on how that's going to work?
Exactly. They're spewing absolute bullshit and people are buying it. Tesla vehicles aren't any better for the environment, with unfixable cars and toxic batteries. Starlink? The worst plan to provide internet to the world. Boring company? The best way to scam govt by selling them "how to solve traffic"
Reliability issues, as in chance of death high Cost issues, as in Concorde++ Spacesuit, 5g and other comfort issues Fueling a massive rocket with passengers aboard right before a potentially weather-delayed launch issues Launch sites far away from cities (due to noise and danger) issues Good luck with that
Space travel and Mars is not healthy for the human body in the long term. Are they going to fix the harmful aspects of space travel and Mars first? (Aka appropriate shielding and terraforming)?
Jacques Gunville Yeh, women who want to know how a car works when they are teenagers, not an interest most women share. But of course if the interest is there, then they can definitely do it well.

Nothing of that will happen. Just like Hyperloop wont happen, and even his Loop which was supposed to be automated 4400 people / hour transit at 155mph turned out to be an underground Tesla taxi station, moving at most 1000 people an hour, with a driver at 30mph. Musk is good at getting tax money, everything else is vaporware, that could be done by an xy person with the secured funding.

It's one of Elon's clones. One of the earlier version of the models that escaped, and aged too rapidly. I think they fixed the aging bug in the subsequent models.
3 years in 7 years to go and im still convinced flying people around planet in rockets like in planes will not happen at all while Musk sending people to Mars might happen in 30 years
Of course it won't happen. The Muskovites on here are so gullible. He could claim he'd invented a star trek style teleporter and they'd go all glassy eyed. He could stand on stage and jingle his keys at the crowd and they'd still throw themselves at his feet and hail him as a genius.
EnLiGhTeNME How is saying that we are progressing towards the future / scifi world that people love (Star Trek)... a bad comment. You seem rude for no reason.
What people who say that we have other problems to solve don't get, is that when we're pushing the boundaries of technology in one area, it will ripple down to other industries to benefit the masses. As she said, residual capabilities. For example, NASA has developed memory foam and the computer mouse among many other things that we use everyday.
So we are just going to ignore g-forces and the time to embark/disembark? And the time to go at least 40 miles offshore to the launch and landing platform? Ok then, I,m in

Luckily 1000's of tons of rocket fuel for dozens of trips on a single day for just one ship is probably very cheap and good for the environment. Sounds like a cheaper and more sustainable method then those filthy expensive airplanes that take forever to get somewhere, right?
Nonsense , at what cost . The fuel payload is so damn expensive it won't be practical . As you know it costs $28 million to just go up into upper atmosphere with blue origin and float for 3 minutes. Now imagine actually getting to another continent.
