NASA has done very little to publicize their detailed plan to establish a permanent presence on the Moon and a 2030s mission to Mars. Here’s the details and why it will definitely fail without SpaceX!

SpaceX Slammed with Massive $175,000 Fine by FAA…
Great job. The analysis is spot on. Lots of things can go wrong but Musk is determined much more than others or even governments, excluding China, to make this happen. Keep the great work and I hope you pass 200k subs in 2023!
Thanks Angry. Really appreciate your analysis.
I would like your input on something that bothers me.
Why are we talking about a permanent presence on the Moon and Mars when we know that low gravity adversely affect people.
I think that a Von Braun station (rotating artificial gravity station at 1G) would need to be the basis for any permanent presence, which would rotate aroind the Moon/Mars and then have shorter stints to the surface for work/research.
So research and development would need to be focused around this strategy which would need to include radiation protection research.
I'd like to have your thoughts regarding this.
All this is not new
Let's not forget about SpaceMac !
wing-internal mounted flat ramjet directional thrusters (light only at after the neck point, it will flow like rocket stove, even just pu-238 heat thruster, for planes)
Excellent report and fascinating information 📡🛰️🚀
🎃🎄🎆🎇
Tell Musk to take his passport if he goes to the moon.
And include an archaeologist if he goes to mars.

Unbelievable that you don't have 250,000 subs. One of the few straight up channels
Its not a matter of how its a matter of when ! most expect too much too soon ! there can be no mistakes ! so just let spacex do what they do best ! Be patient it will happen !
Remember when we were all going to be living on the seabed, farming kelp and mining manganese nodules? "Inner space" they called it back then. Never happened though did it and that's a relative stroll in the park.
I am sorry but NASA is out of date, and runs on "Take as much time as possible and Spend as much as possible" while SpaceX runs on "Spends as little as possible and move as fast as possible". there is no way they can integrate unless SpaceX lowers down to NASA's point of view, then we will all be dead and gone before anything happens!
Best of luck getting your Subscriber goal mate.
NASA has a plan to go to Mars in much the same way as I have a plan to date Mila Kunis.
I will argue that to get a million people living on Mars by 2050, or as soon as possible after 2050, a moon base will be imperitive. Launching from the moon to Mars will be massively less fuel demanding than launching directly from earth. For that a permanent shuttle service from Earth to the Moon will have to be created for people and cargo. Building Starships on the moon , if possible, would be the most efficient way to build a fleet bound for Mars. Building the infra on the moon is not a SpaceX thing, but BO and Bezos have the knowledge and experience of controlling large infrastructures. I say BO would be best suited for that task, with its New Glenn rocket, when they get it flying. Forget Kuiper. He can make way more money by taking on building the infra on the moon. Now I am being optimistic because New Glenn is not capable of moon missions, so it will be a while before they have a rocket capable of that. All they are building now is a moon lander. Unless Bezos swallows his pride and uses Star ships for hauling building materials to the moon, he's never going to get any success out of this massive undertaking.
Why would you NOT subscribe, I will never understand this…
It's 2023. The Chinese already have their Moon Base module built and ready for the 2027 landing. The United States has barely launched a Rocket they worked on for over 10 years to a trip around the Moon with a stuffed animal on board. Who do you think is going to win the Moon Race?
Orbiting rocket fuel depots are coming, of course, but from 2035 onwards most depots will start holding rocket fuel mined on our Moon, i.e. liquid hydrogen/oxygen rather than holding liquid methane/oxygen (Starship rocket fuel) from Earth. Lunar launch costs are only 15% of terrestrial launch costs, whatever you launch, and methane CANNOT be mined on our Moon. SpaceX will have to launch every tonne of fuel from our Earth at 6 times the cost everyone else pays. How can SpaceX possibly afford this?
Sure humans deserve to colonize space? I am not so sure. Too many mean spirited humans walking around.
Regarding "throwing away a Starship" on other planets: whether or not this is useful can be determined through economics.
If bringing back a Starship from another planet, or making it ready for return into active mission service from its current position, is more expensive/difficult than building a new Starship on Earth, then it is better to just build a new one. In the beginning of a colony, even just leaving a Starship without any purpose might be more economical than reusing it, as it can be used for raw materials and replacement parts. Given that such materials and parts are more valuable on the colony planet, than back here on Earth, the economics clearly speak in favor of not bringing it back.
It's kinda one of those dilemmas with how cheaply Starship can be produced, due to SpaceX wanting to build so many of them. Reusability makes a lot of sense for orbital missions, but less sense for interplanetary missions, at least currently.
I’m angry
13:37 what material is this continuous flawless sheet of transparent material made out of that conveniently covers the entire inside of that weird honeycomb structure?
"In other words develop Starship" Why doesn't #NASA just say it instead of beating around the bush.
You can de-tank the propellants in the fuel tanks and use that as an incredible amount of living space and send the engines back on another ship. Not every ship is needed to do that.
Happily awaiting the day, SpaceX's corporate board, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk. Elon will eventually, spectacularly, self-destruct like Kanye West.
Starship will NOT be ready by Artemis III, however, the contracts awarded for a more conventional human lander, may be completed quicker. Starship is not as robust or useful, as the SpaceX fan Boys let on.
Makes no sense.. 1st priority is send a drilling rig drill 2000 plus ft and find 1 bar and mycellium network. 2 send a boring machine make 2 hyperloops to simulate gravity.
Born in 1956… I've been following the manned space program as a hobby the whole time.
And as much as both the moon and Mars interests me, I can tell you unless we solve micro gravity issues for long term stays neither will become permanent homes for man.
Life threatening damage to the brain and body, will force the space ambulancing of people back to Earth. There is simply no way around this at today's technology levels.
Man needs Earth level gravity to survive. The longer you stay the worse the damage.
Why should nasa rely on other countries ? I think the benefits are outweighed by the risks.
Starship is going to unlock so much capacity & capabilities. Also cheaper access for new technologies from new companies. Essentially paving the way to a space based Industrial Revolution! Make it so!!!
I don't think any person is critical to NASA. As far as NASA – SpaceX relationship is concerned it's the taxi to the ISS and that's it !
Boeing Starliner will be crewed on its manned inauguration flight to the ISS in April 2023.
Despite all the BS NASA has no predilection towards Sole Source anything. After all its a facking taxpayer funded Government Agency
not a piggy bank for fanboy club MAGA fascists who are attempting to overthrow the US Democracy.
Musk is skating a fine line, buying twitter to muzzle critics and allow NAZI / Russian and right wing traitors back on and calling
Joe Biden, the president a pig.
20:50 . . . The "Wheel of Cheese" that started it ALL ! 🧀🚀
So the fuel tanks on rocket ships can’t be converted to usable space for the astronauts?🤔
So the fuel tanks on rocket ships can’t be converted to usable space for the astronauts?🤔 not a fan of space Lego’s or have people living in a giant hamster habitat, and before you start making use of local Materials, you need a place to live. The StarShip is meant to be the most cost-effective per square metre then any other rocket ship, and with out being equipped for earth landing the amount of payload increases, so at the beginning of a off planet base, your argument seems a little week, but your argument would make more sense as they become more established. One of the first things you need on a moon base is a bulldozer to bury the starship.
Time to consider the Halo like fuel depot.. just dont tell Russia
Your content quality and quantity of late are both on a Trans Lunar Trajectory!
250 ton to orbit disposable Starship sounds like a tank farm to me. Imagine a double size fairing… 3 stages… So many possibilities really.
Starship will be launching and landing after maybe 5 tries by end of ‘23… then to go for everything else… the momentum is with only SpaceX at this stage
Dude, you make it sound as though SpaceX is the only game in town?
That starship animation shows the booster's grid fins deployed at launch!
How does SpaceX plan on loading the rocket, before stacking or after??
Parking a starship vertically on the moon is just plain dumb. You are creating a very unstable weight to footing ratio as well as a whole bunch of problems getting any cargo on or off of it.
Letting the the thing fall onto its side with a couple of legs at the front is the obvious solution. The thing already has the flaps that can be converted to legs. Then small thrusters at the top to get it vertical to take back off again.
