SpaceX

All the good stuff comes from Alberta and Saskatchewan.

And Elon Musk here and the stuff that SpaceX...

That Mark Carney even, even his New York Times little interview there said they need to re- reduce their reliance on SpaceX.

Right.

So here we are again snubbing our nose at probably the most consequential man in Ca- in the world, and the most consequen- consequential companies on this planet by far.

SpaceX is probably likely the biggest company, and it's, and it's based in America.

And they're building these huge star bases in Louisiana, and they have a star base.

Ian and I are gonna go to star base.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, and astronauts, all to let you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight and more.

Four spacefarers are preparing to launch to the International Space Station as NASA's SpaceX Crew-13 mission, continuing the over 25 years of continuous human presence living and working aboard the orbiting laboratory.

NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergei Tetriotnikov have completed their training and are ready for liftoff aboard SpaceX's Dragon named Grace atop a Falcon 9 rocket.

Once they arrive at the space station, they'll integrate with the rest of the Expedition 75 crew members for an approximately six-month mission.

We talk to all four crew members about their journey to becoming an astronaut, their expectations for the mission, and why the work they'll do aboard the space station is so important.

T-zero.

We have a podcast.

NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins was selected as an astronaut candidate in 2017 and is the commander of NASA's SpaceX Crew-13 mission.

Starbase Initiative.

"SpaceX's 100, $100 billion Starbase Initiative in Louisiana will reportedly be the largest capital investment project in the state's history.

SpaceX plans a massive Louisiana spaceport more than eight times the size of Manhattan."

Wow.

So, and here is ...

... crucial that we understand how many people, how massive of a project this is

isOkay.

So SpaceX is planning a 100 billion mega spaceport in Louisiana with an eventual goal of launching more than 30 Starships every single day.

It involves things that aren't supposed to exist, including exotic technologies and extraterrestrials and even humans colonizing space.

And if you were to go by what NASA and SpaceX is doing, that would contradict anything that you hear about the secret space program because... obviously it's secret for a reason, but we don't want to scare people away.

And that was the approach we took because it's easy to do that.

So it's a brilliant thing that you're doing, kind of tiptoe into it.

I mean, it's one solution.

You heard of SpaceX and Musk talking about, could we build out data centers on the moon? We give it a permanent fixed base.

And then your question of how do you fix them? Well, you'd have that staffed then.

years away from that this would be easier I think what Jim was suggesting is kind of different than what I was thinking I'm thinking you have to build out something like the International Space Station but could you just launch a bunch of smaller things essentially the size of a regular satellite that would would that be the size of what we're building in Port Washington here no but if you put a million of them up there that equals that similar but not

And they're not making any money.

The point of all of this is just to catch up with SpaceX.

But Elon Musk already has a company that flies taxi service out to the International Space Station, puts satellites all over the place.

It's supplying you with Internet in every corner of the world.

I mean, it's one solution.

I- it's one solution.

Mm-hmm.

It would give it a permanent fixed base.
