This is one of the few times I've listened to an entire video from Marcus House; yeah, his voice lacks euphony, but most of the problem is that his videos are long and rambling. This one's much much better than his usual.

SpaceX Just Revealed the Plan for Starship Flight 11! Not only has Booster 15 already had its static fire, We already know a lot of what is coming in Flight 11 thanks to Bill Gerstenmaier. This will be the last Block 2 booster to fly. Booster Ship 38 up top. We’ve got Falcon 9 launches, a $17B Starlink spectrum deal, SDA Tranche 1, Nusantara Lima, NASA Dragonfly updates, Perseverance Mars findings, and even Stoke Space Nova progress. Strap in, it's another big one!

Looks like a section of copper pipe and a roman candle. Nice!

Saw the video a few days back.
Pretty good.
The next Starlink Satelite will ROCK, with a huge improvement in capacity, nut it needs Starship to launch it. That should be next year.
Plus those spectrums he just bought for $17 Billion from EchoStar to allow cell phones to use Starlink directly without a satellite dish.
Very impressive.

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah. I’ll be barbequeing right after the fireworks.

The version 3 sats *could* have gone up on a Falcon 9, but in smaller numbers than will (oh really? 😎) be possible with the Starship — but the Starship will also be the Moon lander and ultimately the Mars colonization ships, which makes that system the priority.

Also Musk is really focused, IOW, stubborn. Bullheaded, even.

The latest F9 launch was I think the 516th, with 153 this calendar year (!). About 70% of all the launches from that facility in California have been SpaceX’.

But the colonization will require robust reusability, and about 1000 ships. Mind boggling.

Musk in this podcast just said that the phones will arrive in market quantities in about two years.

[SunkenCiv]

One of the questioners is a total moron.

[SmokingJoe]

Yeah.
About Starship...Musk wants to use it on earth too...for long distance trips to places like Australia in an hour...but we are talking about 8 years on that.

[SmokingJoe]

The 4 questioners are some of the top entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. They do that program every week. Had Musk on it a few times before.

Way cool - thanks for sharing.
