SpaceX’s Colossal Starship Superheavy launch vehicle! The largest rocket ever created, promises the ability to send massive payloads into orbit at an affordable cost, much less than even their own Falcon 9. With this comes the possibility of not only returning humans to the moon and helping set up a permanent base, but also to kicking off a thriving commercial industry. Why is SpaceX and NASA’s plan critical? With great risk, there is great reward, so how do we build a moon base? And why should we?

The private industry is moving at a much faster pace as the government institutions.
Also China is rushing.
There is a possibility that Nasa is left behind by all of them.
What SpaceX and China have accomplished in a very short of time is proof that they eager to go on with high speed and iterations. Playing it safe, like Nasa, is not the way towards the future.
To compare the Spratly islands with the south pole of the Moon when it come to China just makes this guy seem like idiot, and an American
We have no idea if we can reproduce in lower gravity. We need quite a few studies.
We never ratified that treaty. We are not bound by it.
Will all those landers be ready in time? Obviously, 2024 goal is not happening. What's the delayed date? Will the Starship Lander be ready in 5 years? 10?
You wait. In the future, we're well established Moon, the Moon gets kicked out of Earths orbit, and a REAL SciFi show – 'Space: 2099' happens… 🤔😏😉🤣🤣🤣
😎🇬🇧
Is there a chance of getting this steaming miniature starship stand that can be seen in the background anywhere?
Btw yet another great video Marcus, thanks! Keep it going.
0:47 why does Marcus think it’s long overdue?
The idea of becoming a multi-planetary species is that of a few people who can actually do it. Why are other ultra rich people not interested?
I have been hearing this for decades, show us something.
Nice one Marcus you enthusiasm and technical balance is spot on. I can not see why non reusable Artemis systems make any sense at all. Can we please design for reusable… end of story. Then we have truly relevant technology spin-offs for our first home … earth
Exploring the solar system from the Moon, and not from Earth, seems the logical future – since it's so much easier and eventually cheaper to launch from there. But the best cost savings would come from constructing as much of what is needed ON the moon. This means, having SpaceX rocket & ship factories on the moon using Boring Co. machinery to extract the necessary ores, fuel components, and currently unknown elements that can be used in constructing ships, base components, and even general items needed for life on the Moon, Mars, and probably back here on Earth. Some things will need to come from Earth, especially at first, but the end goal will be for the Moon to become 'self-reliant' for it's needs. As more countries and companies 'set up shop' there, the ability to conduct commerce for needed resources will allow each to specialize. The possibilities are really endless, and it's going to be an exciting next century for sure!
getting sick of the ccp. its time they loose their "developing country status", bip or not. they are so activ in spacetravel, thats not a developing country for me…
I Americans pooled the money spent on invasion of Iraq conducted to throw a dozen or two billions on Dick Cheney chums with what Russia wasted in Ukraine, we could finance space outposts that would make those in "2001: The Space Odyssey" look like Sputnik 1 in comparison. So, please, no more idiotic "arguments" like "there are more pressing issues on Earth". There are, but far more money is waster on military and other corporate welfare than is needed to solve them.
😎 Just looking at your opening stats. Who are the groups that are controlling ALL access to Space? The FAA which is a corrupt group of bureaucrats that have actually NEVER put a sing flying object into space, nor developed one…… But they are so smart they are telling everyone else what to do and when to do it!?!?!?!? Then there is NASA who is willing to pay an unsuccessful contractor 4 to 6 times more for nothing than they are willing to pay a successful contractor that can get the job done!?!?!?! Look at the mass to space and yet NASA is wasting billions, missing schedules, and looking like complete fools because the corruption kick backs disguised as "competitive" contractors makes them VERY RICH on tax payer money. If NASA really wanted to grow space and support success they would drop Boeing, Blue Origin and the other failures (whether failure is by ridiculous cost or undelivered technology on schedule}. Instead over half of their budget is supporting failures under the umbrella of "we need more talent and vendors". Find and support success not has been corruption from within NASA and the DOD!!!
I have said it before.. you need a station in orbit of the destination planet and an optimised dropship to perform shuttle trips to and fro.. anything else is inefficient.. wasteful.. and creates massive risk…
The satellites that orbit the Moon are continuously bombarded by lunar regolith. Every rocket that ever lands there spits up dust that destroys the satellites that orbit the Moon. Lunar dirt will destroy any attempt for humans to live on the moon. We should never try to live there. There is nothing on the moon that we cannot get from space rocks nearby. Gravity wells are a waste of money.
Theres going to be casualties on the way, theres no avoiding it. The question is will the FAA mess things up if and when accidents occur?
@MarcusHouse you don't think that Tesla Megapacks will be transported to the moon to make sure that we don't run out of electricity in the two weeks of lunar night? I think this would need to be installed underground but actually a better solution in my view than mini fission reactors
Have we not learnt the lessons and cost of consuming the Earth and you already speak of plundering the Moon for it's Resources. The Moon is crucially important to the Earth in controlling our Tides our Rotational Axis and our Solar Orbit. It balances climate, gravitation & Seismic Activity. It brings stability to the Whole and has done so for Billions of years. We need to be careful what we wish for and control our arrogant greed and ignorance if we desire a sustainable existence as a species.
Think of the Moon as the Ageless Child that gives Mother Earth Eternal Youth and Purpose!
The moon is slowly drifting away. Could it be stabilized? How much material can be removed before its orbit is effected?
I hope people get to go to a bunch of places in space.
Can’t wait until starship super heavy has hundreds of launches a year like falcon 9.
Greed is the main reason we haven't gotten farther than we have so far. That and old-style thinking and business practices. With the cost+ type contracts and such companies haven't had any reason to increase the technology or amount to orbit after all why send bigger amounts when those paying are perfectly willing to pay for more rockets to send the amounts they need at increased cost? It why we mostly still use the stupid poxy little size amounts we have since the space programs basically started. SpaceX has truly shown us what a set of conmen the older companies have been for decades. Others like Hazegrayart and such have shown us the companies have had re-useable and massive designs for decades but they have just not had the impetus.
A lunar resort that offers outdoor excursions would be so badass! Imagine the ability to go lunar mining and getting to take home like a 1/2 kilo of regolith, or going on a rocket pack powered lunar flying expedition! It would be super easy to develop a low thrust rocket pack for low altitude hops and w/ low gravity it would be easy to design impact resistant “crash suits”. Oooh! Lunar roller coasters! They would have to be super high to get going really fast, but imagine the maneuvers they’d be capable of, and the designs they could get away with in that environment…
I’m sure there’s plenty more to come up with as well…Oh how about lunar dune buggy racing?? Fucken rad!!!
A ton of work went into this one. Thanks Marcus, and team!
How is this not just a superficial update of the colonization plans that national geo graphic and nasa created during apollo?
and yeah, rockets against a surface dig holes and launch projectiles, let's keep rediscovering what 60s nasa figured out.
Is there any particular reason no one is talking about using a starship as a habitat on the moon ?
That BryceTech chart is measuring count of spacecrafts; not the mass/weight. To put it in perspective, most of that was Starlink satellites in batches of more than 50 per launch (9 of 11, 450+), 115 small sats for Transporter-6, and 80 OneWeb sats on two launches. If it were by weight, the margin would still be substantial. Just not so large.
Mini nuclear reactor and a well insulated structure large enough for equipment and with the ability to maintain temperature. Then, liquid water could be mixed with the sentiment added and used for what ever imaginable. I'd imagine we'll wanna hit bedrock and build from there and of course mine for many different reasons.
YES, there are many, many important things on earth we should be spending money on. but NO, not "instead." spending money on spaceflight is not what's keeping us from taking care of the environment and each other.
I think the most important thing for us to do for earth is to take mining out into space to help preserve our first and currently only home
I wonder if human will eventually knock the noon off its orbit and really mess up earth’s weather and atmosphere?
Instead of asking "why should we" I think it's better to ponder WHY SHOULDN'T WE!
Clickbait title with question marks? again & again!??
Fantastic video Marcus! Great to see all the different engineering concepts for exploration, mining, material processing, and construction. Some of the machines look like Rube Goldberg devices that don’t appear to be very practical. But that’s OK. It’s early days.
More please!
Commercial interests and funding will overtake NASA funding. The Artemis plan will never come to fruition. What replaces it will be much better. So this is a good thing.
The China comment makes me more suspicious of the delays imposed on SpaceX, like Bradon is helping China beat the US to Space, utter shameful madness.
