2:47 · origin takes things much slower the best
2:49 · example is their new Glenn rocket while
2:52 · Starship has already flown multiple
2:54 · times new Glenn hasn't even been tested
2:57 · yet blue Origins slow and cautious Pace
3:00 · means they're often left behind while
3:02 · SpaceX is already making big strides
3:05 · however both SpaceX and blue origin are
3:08 · now in a heated race to launch their
3:10 · respective Rockets Starship and new
3:12 · Glenn in
3:14 · November this competition isn't just
3:16 · about who gets off the Launchpad first
3:19 · the outcome of these missions will have
3:20 · a significant impact on both companies
3:23 · Futures if SpaceX succeeds with the
3:26 · Starship it will further solidify its
3:29 · position as a leader in reusable rocket
3:31 · technology and space exploration for
3:34 · blue origin a successful new Glenn
3:36 · flight will show that after years of
3:38 · development and delays they are finally
3:41 · ready to compete with SpaceX and other
3:43 · big players in the industry so how are
3:46 · these two companies preparing for this
3:48 · critical moment and who is in a better
3:50 · position to win let's take a closer look
3:53 · for SpaceX this flight is all about
3:56 · advancing their goal of making Rockets
3:58 · fully reusable
4:00 · they have already achieved major
4:01 · Milestones by Landing Falcon 9 boosters
4:04 · but now they are pushing the boundaries
4:06 · even further with
4:07 · Starship SpaceX plans to catch the
4:10 · rocket midair using their giant
4:12 · mechazilla arm A Move That Could
4:15 · revolutionize how Rockets are reused
4:17 · making space travel cheaper and more
4:19 · efficient in preparation for this
4:21 · November flight SpaceX has moved its
4:24 · flight five Hardware including booster
4:27 · 12 and ship 30 to the LaunchPad
4:30 · these vehicles have already gone through
4:32 · a series of tests including a fuel
4:34 · loading test that showed promising
4:36 · results the next big step is the wet
4:39 · dress rehearsal a critical test that
4:41 · simulates all the launch procedures
4:43 · except liftoff this test is expected to
4:46 · happen soon ahead of the actual launch
4:48 · date the biggest hurdle SpaceX faces Now
4:52 · isn't technical it's
4:54 · regulatory the FAA delayed their launch
4:57 · which was initially planned for August
4:59 · or September citing environmental
5:02 · concerns and changes to the
5:04 · mission some including musk have hinted
5:07 · that the FAA might be slowing down
5:10 · SpaceX to give blue origin more time to
5:12 · catch up despite this delay SpaceX seems
5:15 · much further along in their preparations
5:17 · compared to Blue origin and the Starship
5:19 · is nearly ready for liftoff on the other
5:22 · hand blue origin has a lot riding on
5:25 · this flight the November launch will be
5:27 · their first attempt to reach orbit after
5:29 · nearly two decades of development a
5:32 · successful Mission would prove that blue
5:34 · origin is finally ready to compete at
5:36 · the highest level in the space industry
5:39 · blue origin has made some progress
5:41 · recently they conducted a hot fire test
5:43 · of new Glenn's second stage with both
5:45 · engines firing for 15 seconds generating
5:48 · a total of
5:50 · 356,000 lb of thrust this test was
5:53 · crucial for checking Key Systems like
5:56 · thrust vector control and tank
5:58 · pressurization but there is still still
5:59 · much more to be done the company has yet
6:02 · to stack new Glenn's rocket stages and
6:04 · they need to fully test the 7 be4
6:07 · engines that will power the first stage
6:09 · these engines were partially tested
6:11 · during ula's Vulcan flight but how they
6:13 · will perform on new Glenn remains
6:16 · unclear while both SpaceX and blue
6:18 · origin are fiercely competing with each
6:20 · other the FAA has been making their
6:23 · progress even more difficult grounding
6:25 · spacex's Falcon 9 rocket multiple times
6:28 · in recent months the recent grounding of
6:30 · Falcon 9 was the result of a technical
6:32 · anomaly that occurred during a mission
6:34 · on September 28th
6:37 · 2024 during the deorbit burn of the
6:40 · Rocket's second stage there was a
6:42 · malfunction that caused the booster to
6:44 · land outside the designated safety zone
6:46 · in the Pacific Ocean this violation of
6:49 · FAA safety standards immediately drew
6:52 · the attention of regulators who grounded
6:54 · Falcon 9 to ensure Public Safety this
6:57 · incident was the third time FAL 9 was
7:00 · grounded in 2024 alone while spacex's
7:03 · track record with the Falcon 9 has
7:06 · historically been impressive with over
7:08 · 250 successful missions under its belt
7:11 · however the second stage of the rocket
7:13 · in particular has been a source of
7:16 · problems this year showing that SpaceX
7:18 · may need to tighten its safety checks
7:21 · historically the Falcon 9 rocket has
7:23 · been hailed for its reusability marking
7:25 · a revolutionary shift in the space
7:27 · industry introduced in 2010 Falcon 9
7:31 · made space launches more accessible by
7:33 · allowing the ReUse of rocket boosters
7:35 · which drastically reduced costs this
7:38 · long-standing trust in Falcon 9 is why
7:40 · the recent technical issues have sparked
7:42 · so much concern within the space
7:44 · industry despite these concerns the FAA
7:47 · has authorized Falcon 9 to return to
7:49 · flight for the launch of the European
7:51 · space agency's Hera Mission this
7:54 · approval however comes with some caveats
7:57 · the FAA has only cleared falcon for this
8:00 · one Mission with the key factor being
8:02 · that Hera's second stage won't re-enter
8:04 · Earth's atmosphere thereby mitigating
8:07 · the risks associated with the previous
8:09 · incidents other missions that involve
8:11 · second stage re-entry burns are still on
8:14 · hold until SpaceX provides further
8:16 · assurances about safety improvements in
8:19 · 2024 alone the FAA fined SpaceX $633,000
8:24 · for violating safety regulations on two
8:27 · different missions and tension between
8:30 · the company and the FAA has been
8:32 · escalating this has led to public
8:34 · disputes with SpaceX CEO musk calling
8:37 · for FAA administrator Mike Whitaker's
8:40 · resignation the recent delays have also
8:42 · affected spacex's larger Ambitions
8:45 · including its highly anticipated
8:47 · Starship launch which was postponed
8:49 · after the FAA requested additional Sonic
8:51 · Boom analysis one of the significant
8:54 · questions raised by spacex's recent
8:56 · setbacks is whether the company is
8:58 · pushing its self too hard and too fast
9:02 · SpaceX has made its name by rapidly
9:04 · increasing its launch Cadence conducting
9:07 · multiple flights every month and setting
9:09 · ambitious goals for expanding space
9:11 · access however with the frequency of
9:14 · launches the risks also increase as
9:17 · evidenced by recent technical anomalies
9:20 · that have grounded some of their rockets
9:22 · in 2021 SpaceX achieved a record 31
9:25 · launches nearly doubling that number the
9:28 · following year with 61 orbital missions
9:31 · in
9:32 · 2022 by 2023 the company shattered its
9:36 · previous record with an astounding 96
9:38 · launches representing 43% of all Global
9:42 · orbital launches that year in 2024
9:46 · SpaceX is on track to exceed even that
9:49 · with 67 launches completed by midyear
9:52 · and aiming for as many as 135 launches
9:55 · by the Year's End although spacex's
9:58 · advancements have been revolutionary
10:00 · achieving such high launch numbers comes
10:02 · with risks with frequent flights there's
10:05 · increased pressure on operational teams
10:07 · rockets and launch infrastructure musk
10:10 · however is thinking even bigger he has
10:14 · publicly discussed the goal of launching
10:16 · 1,000 Rockets per year in the future
10:19 · this idea might seem extreme but it ties
10:21 · into spacex's broader mission of making
10:23 · space travel as routine as airline
10:25 · flights achieving 1,000 launches
10:28 · annually would mean sending up an
10:29 · average of almost three rockets every
10:31 · day a pace that no space organization
10:34 · has ever
10:35 · approached to put this into perspective
10:38 · before SpaceX came onto the scene no
10:40 · space agency or private company had
10:42 · launched more than a few dozen missions
10:45 · annually for example in the peak of its
10:47 · operations NASA averaged fewer than 30
10:50 · launches per year in contrast SpaceX has
10:54 · drastically changed the landscape
10:56 · launching 31 rockets in 2021 61 in 2022
11:01 · in 2019 musk set a Target to land humans
11:04 · on Mars by
11:06 · 2022 and without a doubt SpaceX could
11:09 · have achieved this goal however the
11:12 · regulatory environment in the US
11:14 · particularly with the FAA has been a
11:17 · persistent roadblock one of the biggest
11:20 · frustrations for SpaceX has been the
11:22 · paperwork and environmental reviews
11:24 · demanded by the FAA in America it often
11:27 · feels like paperwork takes longer than
11:29 · building a rocket for example after the
11:32 · first Starship test flight in April 2023
11:36 · it took almost 6 months before the FAA
11:38 · cleared SpaceX for its second launch
11:41 · this delay was largely due to the
11:43 · investigation into the significant
11:45 · debris and damage caused by the first
11:47 · flight which included an explosion that
11:49 · spread Ash and debris miles away from
11:51 · the launch site the FAA required SpaceX
11:55 · to implement 63 corrective actions
11:57 · before issuing a new license this
11:59 · prolonged process delayed subsequent
12:01 · flights with the second test flight
12:03 · occurring in late
12:05 · 2023 the timeline between subsequent
12:07 · flights shortened slightly from the
12:10 · second flight to the third it took
12:12 · approximately 117 days showing some
12:15 · improvement in turnaround time however
12:18 · the faa's regulatory processes still
12:20 · posed significant delays particularly
12:23 · due to environmental and safety
12:25 · assessments for instance the third test
12:27 · flight which happened in March
12:30 · 2024 also saw SpaceX working on
12:33 · improving several systems before
12:34 · conducting the fourth test flight which
12:37 · launched on June 6th
12:39 · 2024 a little under 3 months later now
12:43 · it has been 4 months without a fifth
12:45 · flight AS SpaceX waits for approval from
12:48 · the FAA to proceed with its next launch
12:51 · the delay in the fifth flight has been
12:53 · attributed to additional environmental
12:55 · and safety concerns raised by the FAA
12:58 · including cluding consultations with
13:00 · other agencies regarding the sonic boom
13:02 · and potential impacts on marine life
13:05 · musk has expressed his growing
13:07 · frustration with these delays frequently
13:10 · taking to social media to criticize the
13:12 · faa's regulatory approach he has
13:14 · characterized many of the faa's demands
13:17 · such as the ongoing Sonic Boom analysis
13:20 · as unnecessary and excessive musk has
13:22 · even suggested that the regulatory
13:24 · hurdles are slowing spacex's progress
13:27 · more than the technical challenges of of
13:29 · building a space rocket musk expressed
13:32 · his frustration saying we will never get
13:34 · Humanity to Mars if this
13:37 · continues in response to these
13:39 · frustrations there has been some
13:41 · movement in Congress the FAA is
13:43 · reportedly working on introducing
13:45 · portfolio licenses that would allow
13:47 · companies like SpaceX to secure
13:49 · approvals for multiple launches at once
13:52 · streamlining the process and reducing
13:54 · delays however such changes are still in
13:57 · development and must remains skeptical
14:00 · about whether they will be implemented
14:01 · in time to support spacex's tight
14:04 · schedules especially considering his
14:06 · goal of sending humans to Mars if you've

12:01	·	flights with the second test flight
12:03	·	occurring in late
12:05	·	2023 the timeline between subsequent
12:07	·	flights shortened slightly from the
12:10	·	second flight to the third it took
12:12	·	approximately 117 days showing some
12:15	·	improvement in turnaround time however
12:18	·	the faa's regulatory processes still
12:20	·	posed significant delays particularly
12:23	·	due to environmental and safety
12:25	·	assessments for instance the third test
12:27	·	flight which happened in March
12:30	·	2024 also saw SpaceX working on
12:33	·	improving several systems before
12:34	·	conducting the fourth test flight which
12:37	·	launched on June 6th
12:39	·	2024 a little under 3 months later now
12:43	·	it has been 4 months without a fifth
12:45	·	flight AS SpaceX waits for approval from
12:48	·	the FAA to proceed with its next launch
12:51	·	the delay in the fifth flight has been

13:02	·	and potential impacts on marine life
13:05	·	musk has expressed his growing
13:07	·	frustration with these delays frequently
13:10	·	taking to social media to criticize the
13:12	·	faa's regulatory approach he has
13:14	·	characterized many of the faa's demands
13:17	·	such as the ongoing Sonic Boom analysis
13:20	·	as unnecessary and excessive musk has
13:22	·	even suggested that the regulatory
13:24	·	hurdles are slowing spacex's progress
13:27	·	more than the technical challenges of of
13:29	·	building a space rocket musk expressed
13:32	·	his frustration saying we will never get
13:34	·	Humanity to Mars if this
13:37	·	continues in response to these
13:39	·	frustrations there has been some
13:41	·	movement in Congress the FAA is
13:43	·	reportedly working on introducing
13:45	·	portfolio licenses that would allow
13:47	·	companies like SpaceX to secure
13:49	·	approvals for multiple launches at once
13:52	·	streamlining the process and reducing
