How SpaceX & NASA Plan To Establish The First Moon Base!

Elon Musk is an absolute legend! An incredible person! His place in history is assured!

If we can't even fix the problems on our own planet how in the heck are we supposed to figure out problems that occur in other planets? We should turn our attention to Earth and keeping her afloat in the universe. She is our Lifeboat. Every person you've ever known or who has ever lived exists on this blue planet.

Artemis sums up NASA's wasteful mindset in one mission. Five launches of re-usable spacecraft, one HLS and four tankers, are used to get an unmanned HLS (with empty spacious accommodation) to near rectilinear halo orbit. Then a $4 BILLION single use SLS launch vehicle is used to get a cramped four man capsule to the same place. The crew transfer from their tiny ship to their huge cruise liner and use it to land on the Moon. They perform their mission tasks for a week or so, return to orbit and transfer back to their little ship to fly back to Earth. HLS is then presumably crashed into the Moon! This makes sense how? Why can't they use Crew Dragon to fly to the fully fueled HLS in Earth orbit, fly HLS To the Moon, perform the mission and return in HLS to Earth? Then get back in the Crew Dragon and land. That saves a $4 billion SLS and leaves the HLS in Earth orbit ready to refuel for another trip. A cynic would think that the whole mission is designed to create work for the makers of SLS!

Let me guess attach cylinder to box open valve wait for inflation an open door ???
Screw in hold downs .
Blow up shelters ...

A small point a bit off the main topic: Starship did not "explode" as if that was a malfuction. It was deliberately signaled to self destruct.

what if you make a rocket fuel refinery in space

This will take much longer, than anyone want to make us believe!

Blue Origin is developing a moon lander as well.

But I'd put my money on SpaceX.

show us footage when the rocket makes it to space what do they got to cut it and only show us launch

Space 🌌✨✨✨✨✨

Surely after FIFTY frickin' years they've figured out by now how to go back to the Moon without too much cost and/or risk. For example, computers and communications tech are literally light years beyond what anyone could've imagined back then; the same year we last went to the Moon (1972) was when the first scientific pocket calculator (HP-35) came out.

And no offense to Buzz, while I too would LOVE to see humans land on Mars and return safely in my lifetime, we have to get really good at making routine trips to and from the Moon and getting really good at having bases and such there first!

Why should the Taxpayers fund this stuff? Let private Corporations do it.

Just think about how the human body will withstand returning to Earth after 3-4 years in space, in zero gravity and on the Moon / Mars?
Or is there a calculation for a constant passenger flow from Earth to space and back? Can the economy withstand such a load? Will the threat of accidents and their consequences get out of control?

Is there any research into NUCLEAR powered rockets?

If you assume its a one way trip why don't they just send 10 or so Starships to the Moon, land them next to each other, interconnect them and there you go -instant MoonBase Alpha... (Fuel tanks can be drained and use as cargo areas or extra habitat space.)

really would like to see us start colonising mars im my lifetime im almost 40

The sad part of this is, back in the late 60's, we had perfected nuclear powered engines that would have easily taken us to the moon. NASA had plans to be on Mars by the early 70's...

As much as I love all this from a technical and romantic point of view, landing on the moon is very difficult. Such a huge upright ship as SpaceX is building, seems like too much of a fantasy. And then Nasa saying in an interview: "we are now going to stay" seems such a blatant fantasy premature air talk. First try to come close to the six-tees program which landed 6 times with people on the moon instead of bringing all this like it is a project beyond the one from the six-tees. These days talking big is so beyond real achievements that it is worrying. The real life fact is that we have not taken people beyond very close orbit after 1972 and never landed something more impressive then those return able spacecraft on the moon either after 1972. The USA is the country of the big dreams. They only forgot that they are no longer that driven anymore in reality. It simply costs too much. The USA compensates the lack of real achievements by boosting up the big talks. My only dream is that I am completely wrong about this. The chance that the USA goes back into a civil war amongst each other is larger then the chance they travel with humans to the moon surface in the coming 20 years. American citizens are so busy blaming the other party for everything wrong in the country that they no longer see they are killing their great land themselves. It has become the "blame the other" culture instead of really working on solutions. such a pity.

Considering the USA is sending multiple billions of dollars to Ukraine for war, four billion per SLS launch seems like nothing and a better use of the citizens' money.

I think that Elon should rename X to TwitterX just like his other company SpaceX.

No Human has been conceived on and born on the Moon. There is no food or Earth air on the Moon. If food is grown on the moon and air produced it is by artificial mechanical/chemical means . If there is a 100 person colony on the Moon and the air factory equipment fails without a repair means , the people there die. People's lives on the Moon are always in peril.

4 billion per launch? That is ridiculous amount OMG

What the heck? Why Orion? Space X Starship can do the whole thing. The Orion is a make work program to save face for NASA!!!!!

A large area of moon surface can't suitable for rover to drive，so maybe eventually astronauts will carry a lot of equipments with them from one point to another one，hence some backpack system still are needed .
Due to the hardships，gradually people on the moon will wonder"Why I am here can`t enjoy life when people on earth are chilling out?" So that｀s when independent thoughts are seeded，and years later lunar base can be dependent by trade rare moon elements to earth soil in order to achieve more independent food supply

Permision me only gablesyou memori indah🎉🎉🎉🎉

Just think, If they wouldn't have trashed all of the technology that put us on the lunar surface already, we could've been back so many times in the last 60yrs!!

Starship seems like a lot of extra weight and resources just to get a couple of people to the moon, and the complication with needing an elevator/lift etc, and the fact that it's unproven make this seem like a pretty misguided endeavor. Surely they could figure out something using Falcon 9s?

It makes more sense to test colonization on Luna before trying it out on Mars.

these nuts

Sort of dumb for Bezos, Musk and NASA to operate independently. If they pooled their resources, we’d already have a moon base.

You know let's get real, SpaceX just came off a 2-year hiatus where they couldn't do anything cuz of the FAA. Soon as they got their license they launched the booster. 7. Then they took their license away again. No one was killed. No birds were killed. This is bologna. We're never going to get the moon or Mars if we don't stop this. Bureaucracy.

The elevator still has to be strong because some of the things they're taking off are going to be very heavy.

I wish the FAA wasn't so hard on starbase and the starship. It's down there at the bottom of Texas where there's really nothing there. If it wasn't for SpaceX there would be a couple of houses and that's it. I can't think of any place more desolate, to put a rocket company.

Good video! Just one thing: Metric 'tons' is incorrect. It should be spelled 'tonnes'. The difference in spelling indicates the difference in the measurement unit.

The spacesuits will not be lit from the inside. Such light interferes with your vision, shrinking your pupils to pinpoints. This is a really bad idea. The inside lights are great for MOVIES so we can see the actors, but low vision means the astronaut will trip over rocks or step in a hole and fall. Spacesuits used for ISS space walks are not lit from inside

What is the regolith issue ? What is the regolith plume? What is the regolith? Thanks

imagine elon musk in 1969 sending tweets or x s, every day😅😅😅 fact is, need a great kind of silent team to make it to the moon and back

🎉nice

Why don't they just build more Saturn 5 rockets to do the job. With today's tech they would be much better and cheaper then back in the 60s and seventies. The computer onboard would be the size of my mobile phone.
Woops, did I just expose the truth that mankind actually never went to the moon.
Woops.

I am so disapointed that starship cannot get to the moon in one go.

And when the Dollar collapses from never ending debt the whole idea of having a moon base will be over. There isn't a return on your money. Forget the fact that the moon dust is either going to KILL YOU or ruin all the equipment.

Wouldn’t it be safer to have a moon base rather than an orbiting space station? I say that then I think about how cold the dark side of the moon gets along with asteroid collisions. I’m sure from the moon we’d see the coming sooner from that direction atleast. I wonder what it would be like to bring a telescope to the moon if you could see the other planets or maybe not at all. Maybe you could see them on the dark side of the moon

Most of its 144 floors are empty espace in this wrecked biosphere space ship - No need to build anything ...

there is already a base on the moon... so why start another one.

How about we send biden and his dims to the moon? And make sure its a one way trip!

Here's a side thought. When you finally do get to the moon can you send back some photos of the Apollo 11 flight from 1969. Such as seismometers, geological tools, the cameras, and the lunar module ascent stage. Or anything else from that landing that proves we were there or not. I am really tired of having the same argument with my buddy who thinks it was all faked.

Airplanes displaceable by new spaceships? With 2 double rings each held up with 1g+ and with 3 double rings with counter-rotator laterally with 1g+ 100km above without air resistance, e.g. 5000km laterally accelerated and braked again then down cheap fusion reactor energy with almost 100% efficient turbine rice-saving 10,000 km distance covered very quickly.

Also missed in all SciFi space ship with Hg ring accelerator propulsion not loosing Hg shoot into tubes filled with water for linear slow down counter rotator system added and energy from reactor and turbines for example cold fusion shooting Hg into D2O for D-D fusion with 50% to T+p later D-T fusion
and new CO2 or liquid Hg turbine cycle with sucking centrifugal compressor pump backflow cooling of all that way th. isolatable efficiency near 100% without cooled condensor in outer space

Maybe double shell outside TiB2 inside Ti cooled with NaK eutektikum heat transfer to CO2 turbines also from other sun or venus surface etc. Cheao Ti from TiH2 decomposition over 1000°C after made with some heat + H2 + TiO2+CaH.
CO2 changed to CH4 + H2O in Sabatier process with H2O electrolyse H2.


Ring Schleuniger drive also with superconductors not too expensive and so difficult without power consumption to keep the centrifugal force still with N2 to cool optional vacuum insulation also thick Hg mass accelerated in tubes with water linearly braked linearly Drives forward without wearing somewhat apart from water pulled back. Faster than braked very highly accelerated without cavitation a problem with screws liquid metal in water finely set out. Thin extremely fast in D2O with fusion optional HG N-Spallation to HG-197 with epsilon decay to gold.

So man get to the moon and start living life on the moon, so where they going to put the BBQ grill?

SpaceX is nothing more than a propaganda agency.
