00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:38,720 question i think a lot of us have is is 605 00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:40,400 how do you do that flight without 606 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:42,240 working with nasa i mean in terms of 607 00:22:47,270 --> 00:22:44,000 crew quarters and suit up and 608 00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:47,280 facilities in general right 609 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:48,799 um yeah well i think we'll we'll still 610 00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:51,120 be obviously uh coordinating with nasa 611 00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:52,720 and 612 00:22:57,350 --> 00:22:55,440 the th that'll be you know put a free 613 00:23:00,470 --> 00:22:57,360 flyer mission with um 614 00:23:01,990 --> 00:23:00,480 a a kind of a big uh 615 00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:02,000 kind of glass dome on the front instead 616 00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:03,840 of docking adapter so 617 00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:05,600 it should give a quite a different feel 618 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:07,440 for like to really you should really 619 00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:08,320 feel like you're 620 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:11,200 you're in space more than one you know 621 00:23:15,110 --> 00:23:12,320 because it'll just be 622 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:15,120 you just surrounded by a glass um or 623 00:23:20,310 --> 00:23:18,000 acrylic technically but 624 00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:20,320 um yeah so yeah we're looking forward to 625 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:21,039

629 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:27,520 that mission so 630 00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:30,000 um that that should be hopefully like as 631 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:31,200 the name suggests uh 632 00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:33,760 inspiration you know and actually you 633 00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:34,880 know i think that's the 634 00:23:38,230 --> 00:23:36,799 best thing about you know human space 635 00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:38,240 flight is that 636 00:23:41,669 --> 00:23:39,840 it's one of those things that makes 637 00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:41,679 people excited about the future 638 00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:44,240 uh you know you look forward to you know 639 00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:45,679 wake up in the morning and think hey 640 00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:46,720 what's going to be great about the 641 00:23:50,149 --> 00:23:48,320 future it's like man if we're out there 642 00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:50,159 and we're a space spring civilization 643 00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:52,640 and and visiting other planets and 644 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:54,640 exciting plants i think that's 645 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:55,840 that's what gets one of those things 646 00:24:03,990 --> 00:23:58,720 that gets people fired up you know 647 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:04,000 yeah silly let's be fired up obviously 648 00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:06,799 thank you now we have eric berger with 649 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:09,279 rs technica 650 00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:11,440 hi good morning and congratulations to 651 00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:13,200 uh to everyone on this 652 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:15,679 um a couple questions first of all maybe 653 00:24:18,149 --> 00:24:16,320 for 654 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:18,159 steve stitch can you comment on the fact 655 00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:19,840 that you know in less than four years i 656 00:24:23,350 --> 00:24:21,120 guess it's been about four years since 657 00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:23,360 spacex first launched a falcon 9 658 00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:25,200 rocket for the second time the ses-10 659 00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:26,559 mission um 660 00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:29,360 has it been a rapid process to try to 661 00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:31,360 get to certification 662 00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:33,600 or the falcon 9 you know previously 663 00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:35,520 phone rockets for crew 664 00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:37,440 and elon can you comment on the human 665 00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:39,120 landing system award last friday 666 00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:40,880 you know how important is it to spacex 667 00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:43,440 that nasa showed that kind of confidence 668 00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:43,679 in 669 00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:48,400 the vehicle for the moon and potentially 670 00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:48,880 mars 671 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:52,240 thank you yeah yeah i'll take the first 672 00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:53,840 question regarding the certification of 673 00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:55,200 the falcon 9 674 00:24:59,830 --> 00:24:58,000 you know for uh for the first flight for 675 00:25:01,510 --> 00:24:59,840 demo two for bob and doug we had gone 676 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:01,520 through a certification 677 00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:04,320 of of the rocket uh for that very for 678 00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:05,120 one flight 679 00:25:08,789 --> 00:25:06,559 so we had started to understand the 680 00:25:10,470 --> 00:25:08,799 systems we actually follow 681 00:25:12,789 --> 00:25:10,480 the whole fleet of all the flights that 682 00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:12,799 spacex flies spacex has been a great 683 00:25:15,909 --> 00:25:14,080 partner in sharing data 684 00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:15,919 and every single flight and we were able 685 00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:17,840 to look at the performance so 686 00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:20,480 over time we started to understand uh 687 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:22,320 how the engines perform how the rocket 688 00:25:25,909 --> 00:25:23,840 itself performs 689 00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:25,919 and then in a partnership with spacex we 690 00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:27,360 went through and looked at 691 00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:30,400 every single piece of the launch vehicle 692 00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,600 the engines the structures 693 00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:35,120 everything about the re-entry and the 694 00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:36,720 heating and we were able to 695 00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:39,840 in about 10 months go through 696 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:42,000 on the order of 400 or so certification 697 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:43,440 products 698 00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:46,720 by spacex we also did 699 00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:48,960 our independent analysis of certain key 700 00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:51,440 components from a structural perspective 701 00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:53,840 we looked at the heating for entry and 702 00:25:56,710 --> 00:25:55,120 and did an independent 703 00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:56,720 assessment of that to make sure that we 704 00:26:00,070 --> 00:25:58,320 were comfortable with the 705 00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:00,080 with the margins and so it was a quite 706 00:26:03,269 --> 00:26:01,440 an extensive effort 707 00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:03,279 in 10 months by our team and an 708 00:26:08,149 --> 00:26:04,799 incredible partnership between nasa and 709 00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:11,430 and elon yeah 710 00:26:15,269 --> 00:26:13,679 it's it's a great honor to be chosen by 711 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:15,279 nasa to 712 00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:18,240 return uh people to the moon um it's 713 00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:19,360 been 714 00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:22,799 now almost half a century since humans 715 00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:25,600 were last on the moon it's too long we 716 00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:27,039 need to get back there 717 00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:29,840 and uh and have a permanent base in the 718 00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:31,120 moon i think a 719 00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:33,200 like a big permanently occupied base on 720 00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:34,240 the moon 721 00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:37,360 and uh and then build a city on mars and 722 00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:38,880 become a space spring you know like 723 00:26:41,430 --> 00:26:40,400 space rank civilization a multi-planet 724 00:26:42,789 --> 00:26:41,440 species 725 00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:42,799 we don't want to be one of those single 726 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:44,320 planet species we want to be a 727 00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:46,320 multi-planet species 728 00:26:56,710 --> 00:26:53,440 um you know so 729 00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:56,720 yeah thank you 730 00:27:00,549 --> 00:26:58,960 now we have irene klotz with aviation 731 00:27:02,630 --> 00:27:00,559 week 732 00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:02,640 thanks jackie and congratulations that 733 00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:04,400 was a really exotic launch 734 00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:07,840 this morning um elon um 735 00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:11,360 how will the funding from hls 736 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:15,120 impact your design and development and 737 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:18,240 schedule for starship and what's been 738 00:27:25,909 --> 00:27:20,960 kind of your technological challenge 739 00:27:29,269 --> 00:27:27,430 well i mean it's definitely really 740 00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:29,279 helpful in funding this the sasha 741 00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:30,960 program 742 00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:32,559 it's mostly been funded internally thus 743 00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:36,000 far and it's pretty expensive 744 00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:37,520 um as you can tell if you've been 745 00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:39,200 watching the videos we've you know 746 00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:42,720 blown up a few of them so 747 00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:46,640 excitement guaranteed one way or another 748 00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:48,880 so it's it's a it's a tough uh vehicle 749 00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:49,919 to build because we're 750 00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:53,279 we're trying to crack this nut of uh a 751 00:27:57,909 --> 00:27:56,000 rapid and fully enrol you know fully and 752 00:27:59,430 --> 00:27:57,919 rapidly reusable rocket 753 00:28:01,269 --> 00:27:59,440 and i apologize i'm a little slow enough 754 00:28:02,230 --> 00:28:01,279 to take care of them going on not much 755 00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:02,240 sleep at all 756 00:28:06,149 --> 00:28:05,039 um but the the thing that's really 757 00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:06,159 important to 758 00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:09,440 revolutionize space is 759 00:28:14,149 --> 00:28:11,440 a rapidly reusable rocket that's 760 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:14,159 reliable too 761 00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:16,559 so that's really what what needs to 762 00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:17,200 happen 763 00:28:23,269 --> 00:28:20,240 um if that if that can be done 764 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:23,279 then like the cost of access to orbit 765 00:28:28,830 --> 00:28:25,120 and beyond can be reduced by 766 00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:28,840 potentially a factor of 100 or more so 767 00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:34,149 that's that's really what what what is 768 00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:36,399 um most important about 769 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:37,840 it's got to be done by somebody's got to 770 00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:40,320 do this um 771 00:28:43,990 --> 00:28:42,960 and uh and if that is if you have rapid 772 00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:44,000 and complete reusability 773 00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:47,440 then that that opens up that's that is 774 00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:53,110 that's what matters that's what we're 775 00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:54,240 trying to get done 776 00:28:59,669 --> 00:28:56,640 and the support of nasa is it makes a 777 00:29:01,909 --> 00:28:59,679 huge difference 778 00:29:03,510 --> 00:29:01,919 thank you to media on the line just a 779 00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:03,520 reminder to focus your questions this 780 00:29:08,230 --> 00:29:05,120 morning on the crew 2 mission 781 00:29:09,990 --> 00:29:08,240 that would be greatly appreciated 782 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:10,000 uh next up we have joey roulette with 783 00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:12,960 the verge hey thanks jackie 784 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:15,200 and congrats everyone on a good launch 785 00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:18,000 the questions for elon musk 786 00:29:21,029 --> 00:29:19,679 from your perspective i was just 787 00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:21,039 wondering if you 788 00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:22,799 are plugged in or if you have any idea 789 00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:24,640 what to hold up on getting an agreement 790 00:29:27,430 --> 00:29:25,360 with 791 00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:27,440 the russians for flying cosmonauts on 792 00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:29,760 crew dragon is would you like to see 793 00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:31,840 cosmonauts flying on crew dragons sooner 794 00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:33,440 than later and uh since 795 00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:35,200 hls was mentioned earlier i just was 796 00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:38,080 just wondering um how soon will starship 797 00:29:43,909 --> 00:29:41,760 be able to put humans on the moon thanks 798 00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:43,919 i i do not have any insight on on that 799 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:45,440 with regard to the cosmos but 800 00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:46,960 of course we would be uh you know 801 00:29:52,549 --> 00:29:48,960 honored to fly um 802 00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:52,559 cosmonauts on dragon um but i do not 803 00:29:56,230 --> 00:29:54,880 have any insight into any potential 804 00:29:57,909 --> 00:29:56,240 objections i i'm not 805 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,919 perhaps this may be just a 806 00:30:02,710 --> 00:29:59,679 communications uh 807 00:30:04,789 --> 00:30:02,720 breakdown i don't know um but uh i don't 808 00:30:07,750 --> 00:30:04,799 have any insight into it 809 00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:07,760 yeah with that i mean that's we're we're 810 00:30:11,909 --> 00:30:09,120 actually working through 811 00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:11,919 the agreements right now and i think 812 00:30:14,710 --> 00:30:13,200 people understand 813 00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:14,720 and i think we talked about this in the 814 00:30:18,549 --> 00:30:16,880 post-fr news conference that people 815 00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:18,559 understand 816 00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:22,399 the importance of you know crew swaps 817 00:30:28,870 --> 00:30:25,840 for supportability of iss 818 00:30:32,710 --> 00:30:28,880 and so we're working through that um 819 00:30:36,630 --> 00:30:35,029 it takes a while sometimes i found out 820 00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:36,640 there's lots of people to coordinate 821 00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:37,679 with so 822 00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:39,520 it doesn't happen as fast probably as i 823 00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:41,120 want it to 824 00:30:52,950 --> 00:30:47,990 thank you and now we have stephen clark 825 00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:54,389 thank you and congratulations to 826 00:30:59,350 --> 00:30:56,320 everyone uh my question 827 00:31:00,230 --> 00:30:59,360 is for elon musk as well um this was the 828 00:31:02,470 --> 00:31:00,240 first time 829 00:31:04,470 --> 00:31:02,480 uh you've watched astronauts on a reused 830 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:04,480 shopkin 9 and crew dragon although it's 831 00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:06,000 far from the first time you've done that 832 00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:06,640 for 833 00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:07,919 you know overall through your flight 834 00:31:13,509 --> 00:31:10,640 history i'm curious 835 00:31:14,710 --> 00:31:13,519 you know as you develop starship uh to 836 00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:14,720 focus on that rapid 837 00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:16,960 full usability as you're flying your 838 00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:18,640 manifest with falcon 9. 839 00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:20,080 um how many missions do you think you 840 00:31:23,909 --> 00:31:22,399 can get out of the falcon 9 booster 841 00:31:25,909 --> 00:31:23,919 um and is that something you're you're 842 00:31:28,310 --> 00:31:25,919 willing to push the limit on to 843 00:31:28,950 --> 00:31:28,320 you know keep flying one until it breaks 844 00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:28,960 or 845 00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:37,600 booster 846 00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:40,399 going forward well that doesn't seem to 847 00:31:45,190 --> 00:31:40,799 be 848 00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:45,200 obvious limit to the 849 00:31:49,509 --> 00:31:47,840 reusability of the the vehicle um and 850 00:31:52,149 --> 00:31:49,519 yeah we do intend to fly 851 00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:52,159 the falcon booster until we see some 852 00:31:55,110 --> 00:31:53,600 kind of a failure with the stalling 853 00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:55,120 missions obviously just have that be a 854 00:31:58,070 --> 00:31:56,159 life leader 855 00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:58,080 um and we're just actually talking in 856 00:32:00,870 --> 00:31:59,760 the in the control room uh so we're 857 00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:00,880 talking with the 858 00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:03,360 um between spacex nasa and we're like 859 00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:04,720 wondering you know what like what's the 860 00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:05,760 optimal 861 00:32:09,669 --> 00:32:07,440 number of launches for you know do you 862 00:32:11,990 --> 00:32:09,679 want to be on a on a brand new 863 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:12,000 booster or we probably don't want to be 864 00:32:16,149 --> 00:32:12,880 on the life leader 865 00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:16,159 for for a crew mission um but uh but 866 00:32:19,269 --> 00:32:18,080 you know it's probably good to have a a 867 00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:19,279 flight or two 868 00:32:22,389 --> 00:32:20,720 under its belt for the booster to have 869 00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:22,399 flown you know once or twice i think if 870 00:32:25,509 --> 00:32:23,600 it was like a 871 00:32:27,190 --> 00:32:25,519 you know an aircraft coming out of an 872 00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:27,200 aircraft factory you'd want the aircraft 873 00:32:29,269 --> 00:32:28,559 to probably have gone on a test flight 874 00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:29,279 or two 875 00:32:34,710 --> 00:32:32,960 before you know you put passengers on so 876 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:34,720 uh you know i think that's probably you 877 00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:36,240 know a couple of flights is a 878 00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:38,240 good number to have for a for crew 879 00:32:43,269 --> 00:32:40,159 booster and um 880 00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:43,279 in the meantime we'll keep flying the uh 881 00:32:46,389 --> 00:32:44,880 the live leader we've got nine flights 882 00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:46,399 on one of the boosters we're gonna have 883 00:32:48,710 --> 00:32:48,080 a tenth flight soon with a starlight 884 00:32:51,430 --> 00:32:48,720 mission 885 00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:51,440 and um yeah we're learning a lot about 886 00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:52,880 reusability and 887 00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:55,360 it's a hard problem for rockets i mean 888 00:32:59,430 --> 00:32:56,399 there's a reason it's not 889 00:33:02,950 --> 00:32:59,440 it had really you know right now 890 00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:02,960 falcon is the only um partially reusable 891 00:33:06,389 --> 00:33:04,559 rocket being flown you know with the 892 00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:06,399 brewster coming back and the fairing 893 00:33:09,190 --> 00:33:07,760 coming back but we still can't we don't 894 00:33:10,070 --> 00:33:09,200 reuse the upper stage or the dragon 895 00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:10,080 trunk 896 00:33:13,430 --> 00:33:12,960 and so with the starship we just like 897 00:33:18,310 --> 00:33:13,440 hopefully 898 00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:18,320 this is a hard problem for rockets 899 00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:20,480 that's for sure and it's taking us 900 00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:23,840 uh we're like 19 years in 901 00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:26,880 um but i think 902 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,000 the i think we can see 903 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:33,120 the the starship design can work 904 00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:36,799 it's just it's a hard thing to solve um 905 00:33:41,350 --> 00:33:38,080 and the support nasa is very much 906 00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:41,360 appreciated in this regard um 907 00:33:48,149 --> 00:33:42,960 i don't know i think it's gonna i think 908 00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:50,149 thank you and next up we have david 909 00:34:05,350 --> 00:34:01,830 hi there sorry unmuting um 910 00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:05,360 for anybody nasa or spacex 911 00:34:08,710 --> 00:34:06,720 was bob banking allowed to leave 912 00:34:12,149 --> 00:34:08,720 anything for megan in 913 00:34:12,869 --> 00:34:12,159 the dragon and elon uh it's been a long 914 00:34:15,669 --> 00:34:12,879 journey 915 00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:15,679 uh with the hls and everything else on 916 00:34:20,230 --> 00:34:18,399 the arc of what you're hoping to do 917 00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:20,240 are you going faster or slower i know 918 00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:22,720 you had some frustrations early but 919 00:34:25,829 --> 00:34:24,960 where do you see bigger picture we are 920 00:34:30,629 --> 00:34:25,839 where we need to go 921 00:34:33,990 --> 00:34:32,710 i guess i'll take the question of bob 922 00:34:35,589 --> 00:34:34,000 you know 923 00:34:37,109 --> 00:34:35,599 i don't know of anything specific that 924 00:34:40,310 --> 00:34:37,119 he left for megan 925 00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:40,320 um he certainly left a lot of uh love 926 00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:41,919 tenderness and care of that vehicle 927 00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:43,679 while he flew it and 928 00:34:47,270 --> 00:34:45,520 you know for me as the program manager 929 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:47,280 for commercial crew it's pretty exciting 930 00:34:50,149 --> 00:34:48,480 to see 931 00:34:52,389 --> 00:34:50,159 you know bob having flown that vehicle 932 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:52,399 for the first time testing it out 933 00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:54,240 and taking it for a spin for his wife 934 00:34:58,550 --> 00:34:55,679 megan and she gets to take it for a 935 00:35:01,030 --> 00:34:58,560 little longer so it's kind of cool 936 00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:01,040 to see the two fly in the same vehicle 937 00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:02,480 and the first time that we've reused 938 00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:03,200 that vehicle 939 00:35:10,390 --> 00:35:08,550 yeah actually i don't know if people saw 940 00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:10,400 the the zero g indicator this time which 941 00:35:13,589 --> 00:35:11,119 is uh this 942 00:35:14,870 --> 00:35:13,599 cute fluffy penguin called my first 943 00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:14,880 penguin 944 00:35:18,870 -->

get the crew dragon to the point where 964 00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:08,800 you could have a successful series of 965 00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:09,760 missions like 966 00:36:13,589 --> 00:36:12,160 crew 2 this morning uh at what point do 967 00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:13,599 you think starship will be ready to 968 00:36:18,069 --> 00:36:14,640 start carrying people 969 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:18,079 thanks

this mission 973 00:36:26,069 --> 00:36:23,760 but 974 00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:26,079 um civical speculate with respect to i 975 00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:26,960 mean 976 00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:31,680 as you know i tend to be somewhat 977 00:36:41,349 --> 00:36:34,160 optimistic with respect to schedules uh 978 00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:41,359 um i feel i should acknowledge this uh 979 00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:43,200 but um you know so take that with a 980 00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:44,560 grain of salt but um 981 00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:47,040 i i think it's not out of the question 982 00:36:50,390 --> 00:36:47,839 that it could be 983 00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:50,400 ready for flag fly people in a couple of 984 00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:52,320 years 985 00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:54,000 obviously we need to

989 00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:06,960 it's got some work to do but making 990 00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:08,000 rapid progress i think 991 00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:09,520 if they're we're going to make sure 992 00:37:12,069 --> 00:37:10,800 we're accelerating the rate of 993 00:37:14,710 --> 00:37:12,079 innovation 994 00:37:17,349 --> 00:37:14,720 and then it could be right in a couple 995 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:20,829 thank you now we have eric nyler with 996 00:37:24,390 --> 00:37:22,000 wired 997 00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:24,400 uh greetings uh congratulations to 998 00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:25,040

during a confirmation 1002 00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:37,119 hearing on capitol hill and i'm just 1003 00:37:40,470 --> 00:37:38,000 wondering 1004 00:37:42,069 --> 00:37:40,480 uh from elon whether that's kind of a 1005 00:37:47,190 --> 00:37:42,079 crazy talk or is that 1006 00:38:01,589 --> 00:37:51,670 i think that can be done um 1007 00:38:05,510 --> 00:38:04,069 i think we're yeah we're we're we're 1008 00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:05,520 both gonna build a lot of rockets and 1009 00:38:10,390 --> 00:38:06,880 we're gonna probably smash a bunch of 1010 00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:13,670 i can i think i think this 1011 00:38:19,990 --> 00:38:16,880 i think it will happen i think 2024 1012 00:38:21,190 --> 00:38:20,000 this seems likely we're going to aim for 1013 00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:21,200 sooner than that but 1014 00:38:26,550 --> 00:38:24,400 i think you know i think we 1015 00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:26,560 try this this is this is actually doable 1016 00:38:33,750 --> 00:38:31,589

better from 1035 00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:14,400 the view from launch control but you can 1036 00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:15,440 see all the data there 1037 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,430 i don't know the future's looking good 1038 00:39:32,230 --> 00:39:26,790 like we're i think we're at the dawn of 1039 00:39:35,589 --> 00:39:34,150 thank you again to all of our speakers 1040 00:39:37,190 -->

00:39:41,040 continues on nasa tv 1044 00:39:44,710 --> 00:39:42,880 we'll have live coverage all the way to 1045 00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:44,720 the international space station 1046 00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:47,280 including true crew dragon docking hatch 1047 00:39:50,150 --> 00:39:48,000 opening 1048 00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:50,160 and the welcome ceremony docking is 1049 00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:51,760 targeting at 5 1050 00:39:56,069 --> 00:39:55,119 10 a.m saturday april 24th with hatch 1051 00:39:59,430 --> 00:39:56,079 opening at 7 1052 00:40:00,390 --> 00:39:59,440 15 a.m and the welcome ceremony at 7 45 1053 00:40:14,069 --> 00:40:00,400 a.m 1054 00:40:17,829 --> 00:40:15,750 station burn when dragon is about two 1055 00:40:19,990 --> 00:40:17,839 and a half kilometers below the station 1056 00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:20,000 and just about seven kilometers behind 1057 00:40:23,829 --> 00:40:21,839 it this will swing dragon up 1058 00:40:25,030 --> 00:40:23,839 until it's about 400 meters directly 1059 00:40:26,870 --> 00:40:25,040 below the station 1060 00:40:28,069 --> 00:40:26,880 this maneuver will also move dragon 1061 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:28,079 inside one of two 1062 00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:29,680 safety zones around the station that 1063 00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:31,200 requires a set of go 1064 00:40:34,230 --> 00:40:32,960 no-go poles with the different control 1065 00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:34,240 teams the first 1066 00:40:37,589 --> 00:40:36,160 zone is called the approach ellipsoid 1067 00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:37,599 which is an imaginary shape 1068 00:40:40,870 --> 00:40:39,200 measuring four kilometers by two 1069 00:40:42,870 --> 00:40:40,880 kilometers by two kilometers 1070 00:40:45,349 --> 00:40:42,880 essentially a large three-dimensional 1071 00:40:45,910 --> 00:40:45,359 oval before dragon is given permission 1072 00:40:48,390 --> 00:40:45,920 to move 1073 00:40:50,470 --> 00:40:48,400 inside this ellipsoid uh referred to by 1074 00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:50,480 the teams as the ae 1075 00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:52,240 it's configured to be on what is known 1076 00:40:56,309 --> 00:40:54,640 as a 24-hour safe trajectory this means 1077 00:40:58,150 --> 00:40:56,319 that if dragon lost all control to its 1078 00:41:00,390 --> 00:40:58,160 thrusters it would be at least 24 hours 1079 00:41:03,109 --> 00:41:00,400 before the trajectory would move inside 1080 00:41:05,910 --> 00:41:03,119 that approach ellipsoid once dragon 1081 00:41:07,910 --> 00:41:05,920 arrives at 400 meters below station it 1082 00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:07,920 will be at what is known as waypoint 1083 00:41:10,390 --> 00:41:08,640 zero 1084 00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:10,400 and will be the first checkpoint during 1085 00:41:15,190 --> 00:41:12,560 our approach the vehicle can hold 1086 00:41:16,390 --> 00:41:15,200 at 400 meters or continue on if all 1087 00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:16,400 systems check out to 1088 00:41:19,990 --> 00:41:18,960 approach to waypoint one by this point 1089 00:41:22,309 --> 00:41:20,000 the teams will do 1090 00:41:23,910 --> 00:41:22,319 a go no go pull forward dragon to move 1091 00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:23,920 inside the keep out sphere 1092 00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:25,359 another zone that consists of an 1093 00:41:29,349 --> 00:41:27,200 imaginary sphere around the station with 1094 00:41:31,510 --> 00:41:29,359 a radius of 200 meters 1095 00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:31,520 it's another chance to confirm all the 1096 00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:33,599 guidance navigation and control systems 1097 00:41:36,150 --> 00:41:34,000 are working 1098 00:41:37,190 --> 00:41:36,160 correctly on dragon before moving closer 1099 00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:37,200 to the station 1100 00:41:41,109 --> 00:41:38,880 and carries a requirement similar to the 1101 00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:41,119 ae that dragon's orbital trajectory 1102 00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:41,680 would not 1103 00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:44,000 bring it inside that sphere if control 1104 00:41:48,230 --> 00:41:44,960 was lost 1105 00:41:50,870 --> 00:41:48,240 but this time only for four orbits or 1106 00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:50,880 about six hours instead of 24 hours 1107 00:41:54,710 --> 00:41:52,560 dragons move from waypoint zero to 1108 00:41:56,470 --> 00:41:54,720 waypoint one will swing it up and out in 1109 00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:56,480 front of the station pausing at a 1110 00:42:00,150 --> 00:41:57,200 distance 1111 00:42:01,829 --> 00:42:00,160 of approximately 220 meters at this 1112 00:42:03,829 --> 00:42:01,839 point it will be on what we call the 1113 00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:03,839 docking axis which essentially means 1114 00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:05,680 it's directly in front of the docking 1115 00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:06,480 port 1116 00:42:10,710 --> 00:42:08,960 the crew is headed to the forward most 1117 00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:10,720 port on the international space station 1118 00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:12,480 the node 2 forward port 1119 00:42:16,309 --> 00:42:14,240 that's where dragon docked for both of 1120 00:42:18,309 --> 00:42:16,319 our demonstration missions and where one 1121 00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:18,319 of two international docking adapters is 1122 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:20,800 located these were installed for 1123 00:42:24,550 --> 00:42:22,560 new commercial spacecraft flights and 1124 00:42:27,510 --> 00:42:24,560 any other future spacecraft that also 1125 00:42:30,550 --> 00:42:27,520 used the international docking standard 1126 00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:30,560 once dragon is only 20 meters away at 1127 00:42:34,230 --> 00:42:32,640 waypoint 2 the spacecraft focuses on 1128 00:42:35,589 --> 00:42:34,240 aligning its docking system with the 1129 00:42:37,829 --> 00:42:35,599 docking adapter 1130 00:42:38,870 --> 00:42:37,839 dragon will then fly in and make contact 1131 00:42:41,990 --> 00:42:38,880 with the ida 1132 00:42:43,990 --> 00:42:42,000 giving us what we call soft capture soft 1133 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:44,000 capture ring then retracts until 1134 00:42:48,950 --> 00:42:46,240 sensors indicate it's time for hooks to 1135 00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:48,960 drive in place to give us a hard capture 1136 00:42:54,150 --> 00:42:52,240 and firmly secure dragon to the station 1137 00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:54,160 then it's time for leak checks and hatch 1138 00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:56,000 opening which will which is currently 1139 00:43:00,630 --> 00:42:57,119 timeline to come 1140 00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:00,640 about two hours following jockey so we 1141 00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:02,560 have a lot of action still to come so 1142 00:43:06,230 --> 00:43:04,240 stay with us as we follow dragon 1143 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:06,240 carrying nasa's crew 2 astronauts to the 1144 00:43:24,790 --> 00:43:22,630 thanks gary the crew is awake aboard the 1145 00:43:27,109 --> 00:43:24,800 station now getting ready to welcome the 1146 00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:27,119 crew to astronauts tomorrow 1147 00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:28,720 the crew onboard the station was 1148 00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:30,720 actually watching our coverage watching 1149 00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:32,720 the launch play out 1150 00:43:38,470 --> 00:43:35,920 astronaut victor glover tweeted tweeted 1151 00:43:40,470 --> 00:43:38,480 four pictures of the broadcast and the 1152 00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:40,480 crew watching aboard the international 1153 00:43:43,750 --> 00:43:41,760 space station 1154 00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:43,760 his tweet read welcome to low earth 1155 00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:45,040 orbit endeavor 1156 00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:48,960 godspeed tomorrow on docking day nasa's 1157 00:43:52,870 --> 00:43:50,720 victor glover will be primed for 1158 00:43:54,309 --> 00:43:52,880 monitoring dragon for its final approach 1159 00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:54,319 and will take the lead on hatch 1160 00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:55,520 operations 1161 00:43:59,430 --> 00:43:57,520 once the hatch the hatches are opened 1162 00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:59,440 after crew 2's arrival we'll have 1163 00:44:02,790 --> 00:44:01,440 11 people living aboard the station for 1164 00:44:04,550 --> 00:44:02,800 the next few days 1165 00:44:07,109 --> 00:44:04,560 station commander shannon walker will 1166 00:44:08,550 --> 00:44:07,119 give the new arrivals a safety briefing 1167 00:44:10,150 --> 00:44:08,560 they'll have a light day before heading 1168 00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:10,160 to sleep early while the rest of the 1169 00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:12,000 expedition 65 crew 1170 00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:13,760 conducts some additional science and 1171 00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:16,000 continues preparations for crew one to 1172 00:44:18,710 --> 00:44:17,200 return home 1173 00:44:21,030 --> 00:44:18,720 meanwhile here in mission control 1174 00:44:22,950 --> 00:44:21,040 houston the orbit 2 team is now on 1175 00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:22,960 console after a shift handover 1176 00:44:26,309 --> 00:44:24,480 the team of flight controllers here in 1177 00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:26,319 mission control houston is now being led 1178 00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:28,720 by flight director adi boulos 1179 00:44:33,190 --> 00:44:30,800 several hours before the crew boarded 1180 00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:33,200 dragon the space station team did their 1181 00:44:36,710 --> 00:44:34,960 own go no-go pull 1182 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:36,720 and there were several systems that we 1183 00:44:40,390 --> 00:44:38,400 had to ensure were fully functioning 1184 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:40,400 properly before nasa could give their go 1185 00:44:42,710 --> 00:44:41,280 for launch 1186 00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:42,720 everything is still looking good on the 1187 00:44:46,390 --> 00:44:44,880 station side for dragon's arrival 1188 00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:46,400 so that'll do it for us here in mission 1189 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:49,760 control houston now back over to 1190 00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:51,440 all right thanks courtney good to hear 1191 00:44:55,750 --> 00:44:53,520 that everything's good on that side 1192 00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:55,760 over the last 20 years crews aboard the 1193 00:44:59,910 --> 00:44:58,000 space station have completed over 3 1194 00:45:02,309 --> 00:44:59,920 000 scientific and educational 1195 00:45:04,150 --> 00:45:02,319 experiments and crew 2 is prepared to 1196 00:45:06,069 --> 00:45:04,160 add to that growing number 1197 00:45:07,510 --> 00:45:06,079 once crew 2 arrives at the space station 1198 00:45:07,990 --> 00:45:07,520 they'll spend the next six months 1199 00:45:10,309 --> 00:45:08,000 working 1200 00:45:11,750 --> 00:45:10,319 in our orbital laboratory having seven 1201 00:45:13,430 --> 00:45:11,760 crew members on board 1202 00:45:15,109 --> 00:45:13,440 with five of those on the u.s side 1203 00:45:15,910 --> 00:45:15,119 compared to the three we've had for 1204 00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:15,920 years
