Youtube hearted comments of Fredinno (@innosam123).

  1. Elon Musk is playing KSP IRL.

  2. Isn’t the Delta-V for transcontinental point-to-point 80+% of the Delta-V to Orbit? Which would mean that it’d be about as expensive to have Space Marines.

  3. SpaceX just took control of the ‘cursed’ SLC-6 pad - cursed because every vehicle to propose launching from it have been failures, commercially, or technically.

  4. I don’t understand the real need to be ‘multi planetary’ when 80% of the Earth’s surface is uncolonized (oceans and ice caps).

  5. If he's going to build a test site, he should be forced to put it in the desert. There's a reason no one builds test sites in environmentally sensitive areas, and this is why.

  6. Elon Musk can't get sober, he needs to go to Afghanistan first.

  7. I have a few things to add: Starship is unlikely to have sufficient pressurized volume to carry 100 people. 2. Cryogenic Methane and Oxygen will boil off without an active cooling system. 3. There is an assumption the cost of provisions will fall with the projected low launch costs of StarShip.

  8. 5:20 That’s for Lunar Landing and Rendezvous in Lunar Orbit- the total needed for circumlunar is almost certainly far lower, especially if the 1st stage isn’t being reused. It might be possible to do it with one Starship without reuse. Depending on the exact specs of Lunar Starship. Just thought you should note that before you get criticized on r/TrueSpace for it. :P

  9. 9:28 You forgot Phoenix, InSight, and the Viking Landers- the former which landed on the Martian North Pole.

  10. Because it makes him money?

  11.  @commonsenseskeptic  Well, it depends. Presumably, people aren’t going to be living on the Starships once a Mars colony is set up (or at least they shouldn’t because of radiation and logistics). At some point, you are should be able to bring the starships back for reuse. Especially if there is any viable material export (there probably isn’t).

  12. 43:00 I would also point out SpaceX DID mention a mini-Starship…as a testing rig on top of Falcon, back before the Starship prototypes were made. Either way, it doesn’t exist.

  13. 2:55 Even the studies which show that a significant portion of Mars’ old water is left says that the water is mostly in. The form of HYDRATED ROCK. That means you’re literally trying to squeeze water out of a rock. The Earth’s mantle has several times the water of its oceans, and are now thought to be where the Earth’s oceans comes from. On Earth, this water cycles between the oceans and mantle due to plate tectonics and volcanism. On Mars, this water is trapped in the crust, as Mars’ volcanoes spewed out much of the water from the mantle without returning it to the mantle due to a lack of plate tectonics. However, this water in the rocks are generally at a density of less than 1%. Unless you’re talking about geological processes, you are NEVER going to liberate any significant fraction of that water. —- TL;DR: The water in Mars’ rocks, as theorized by some scientists, may as well not be there- meaning the real amount of water is going to be groundwater or ice- or <25% of the original oceans. Basically, if you heated Mars up, you would have a Tantooine, not an Earth.

  14. Can you make a video on the Lunar Starship?
