Watching a Rocket Launch at SpaceX with Elon Musk!

That I've never seen something like that, and the noise of it when it was going up was insane. I asked Grandpa, "What do you go in it?" and he goes, "What up, guys? Welcome back to the channel! Today, we are on Trump Force One, going to see the Starship rocket launch at SpaceX!"

Oh, we got a Nutella girl here! Hey, guys, they actually got really good Nutella for me the other day. Oh, it was so good! They opened a 16-handle Nutella, and it's showing the pumpkin spice. I love pumpkin spice—anything pumpkin spice! What do you like?

I got Nutella-flavored ice cream, and then I got this Nutella-like spread crunch. I got the pumps of Nutella, and I got cookie dough! I watch Nutella. Do you consume a week?

I consume a week like the big tubs, like two. So, the edits you guys make, the edits that I've seen on TikTok, I actually love the edits, especially to like the good songs—like some of the weekend songs. I saw one edit that was like JKR! I think it's JKR, right? Maybe?

Oh yeah, here, JKR. No, I really like the edit! Keep them up! Amazing!

Wait, can we like be in sync? One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Wow, we were so there!

I'm about to go and grab a snack. I'll be right back, guys. What's that? I want— I like this one! What is this one, P?

Oh wait, what's this clapping? You in the meat? Are you ready? She always cheats, so we can't play.

No, I know! That's it!

I won! I'm sweaty right now. I'm sweating. I got one question for you all! Who coordinated the outfit? Actually, let me break this down. Can I ask, what do we think we're going to wear?

I said, "I just bought this Skims top at the mall. I think I'm going to wear black jeans, a black belt, black shoes, and the Skims top." She goes, "Where in the mall do they sell Skims?" I said, "Oh, Nordstrom." I go to her house; she's wearing a black Skims top, a black belt, and a black tee.

Can you crack my back? Hear this, you guys! Do you guys hear that?

Oh, it's hard lifting like 200 lbs! Like, I kinda— you squattin' your back?

Yeah, wow, it's easier!

Oh my God, yeah, it's making her lighter! All you can get off now!

Music plays

Alright, my turn! You can get down lower. You got to get low. You got to get low!

Eyes at a 453. You're going to fit. You can do it!

Music plays

My first one landed!

Music plays

WS, new Nutella girl on the wild! This is a plane! Let me give you the tour. You probably sit down right there!

Yeah, okay! Thanks! You think pretty sife! Very cool!

Music plays

Right? Five hundred! Pretty cool stuff! It's not every day you get to see a plane land!

One hundred, fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten.

Music plays and applause

See in my eyes since my Baby G! Awesome!

I don't really know what's happening right now. Are you nervous? I'm so nervous. You're like ten feet away from— I'm fanning right now!

Bryson and neon? Oh my God! Not even sh— I'll design a rocket ship golf club with boosters on the back so you can increase your swing speed just a tad!

Three hundred twenty coming your way, just for you!

Just for me? Yeah, I'm going to need it!

Music plays

Alright, ow! Ow, that hurt!

Music plays

Stop.

At some point, see those black tiles? Yes, we're looking at the leeward side of the rocket. So the other side—the windward side—has those black tiles.

Yeah, it's a little hard to see, but U—so we're looking at the leeward, the cold side essentially.

You can see the tiles are on the nose, but on the other side, the W side, it's old black tiles. Those are ceramic, basically heat shield tiles. Like basically a mass version of what was on the spaceship.

Music plays

We're going off in 20 minutes! 20 minutes! 20 minutes! 20 point! Yeah, look! It's up at the top left! T minus! What are we feeling?

Oh no! My hair's all over the place, though! Oh, the bread looks pretty good! Really?

Okay to— Music plays. What else do you want?

Big? This cookie! That's actually kind of cool. Like it's a star! The baking is very good! Very good baking!

Oh my God! Very good!

Music plays and applause

Music plays

Booster, Raptor, pressure.

Music plays

Nominal!

Music plays

Come on!

It only comes back to land if everything is like super green. And then we had some concerns about the tower, so it was commanded to land out in the sea.

Amazing! Amazing! Can they use that again? Can they get it from the sea?

It's going to be probably block, probably going block, my guess, but that's fine! We actually have better versions that are in production in those factories over there.

How long will it take to produce another one of those?

Oh, we already have the next one!

Well, there you go, and it's better than that one! So there are big improvements with every success!

So what makes it better?

The specific next one we have is a lot of small improvements. There's a big version increase that'll be flying next year that's got the version three of our engines.

That'll look very different as it will be longer and have a lot more thrust and have the new next-generation engines you can see on those screens up there.

That's the ship that is now going around the earth. So if you want to maybe get a better view, if you come—let's go!

So it's actually going through the dark side of Earth. The region of Earth it's going through is now dark. It'll enter the region where it's actually sunny! So it's currently sunny, about 600 miles northwest of Australia!

So it'll go out of Earth's shadow, and we should be able to see it land once you get to reenter.

Pretty well! The clouds—like I—it looks like a special effect! It's like every color! It's like purple, red, white. It's wild! If it doesn't blow up, we do have ships to try to bring it back, and then we can expect it to learn more.

That's great! But this one won't be reused. This will not be reused!

So this one is all about just learning. It's about learning more. This time we're going to enter at a steeper angle than before, so it's going to be a higher heating.

We'll see if some of the changes we've made to the heat shield are better. So the last launch, you can actually see where it was getting really hot 'cause we lost some heat shield, so it was like kind of glowing and a little bit of melting open and that kind of thing!

So hopefully, this time, the heat shield should be more robust! We also reduced the amount of heat shielding!

So there's about six feet less heat shielding on the sides 'cause we don't think that's necessary.

Let's check it out! It's kind of like, okay, it do explode. Well, I guess—sick!

Look on the bright side! That I've never seen something like that, and the noise of it like when it was going up was insane.

I asked Grandpa, would you go in it? And he goes, “No!” He would not volunteer going in the spacecraft, but it's okay! Would you go in it?

Without a doubt! Like in a heartbeat! I'm hest! That was crazy! That was good!

What's the G-force going up if you were to go? And is it too much for a person to handle?

No, it's fine!

Okay, yeah, like 5 Gs—it's fine! Yeah, the Boostback B is doing 20 G, so you wouldn't want to be on—you would want to do the flip!

What you say the top speed was?

Well, this flight will do about 17,000 mph! But we're going to Mars, you'd go much faster than that, so maybe 35,000 depends on how fast you want to go to Mars— but maybe 35,000 mph!

What's the quickest time frame to get to Mars with our current technology?

If you want to maximize payload, it takes six months. You can potentially get it down to like three or four months if you're willing to sacrifice payload!

Okay! Does the weight matter once you're in space as much or not really?

Like, you’ve got to accelerate mass to a velocity to basically the mod transfer velocity. There's the cost-benefit of—so if you have less payload, you can go faster!

Yeah, in the beginning, we would maximize payload to be like six months. Like long-term, you can definitely get it below three months!

So yeah, fantastic! Let's go see it! Let's do it!

Aiming, and I told her she was just crying! It's pry exciting! I mean, it's one of the most epic things that humankind have done.

Oh, for sure! For sure!

What's harder, this or greater rips than Diablo?

This is much harder!

Did you ever play Fortnite?

Uh, no, but I did play Quake and a bunch of other first-person shooters.

What about League? Did you play League? Is that X?

Uh, League? If I start playing League, it will damage the space program!

It's cool! It's awesome! It's an honor to have Prez here! Crazy! I swear I got chills, and I never get chills!

Besides winning tournaments, when I win tournaments, I get the chills throughout my whole body—this legitimately gave me chills in the back of my spine!

This was honestly one of the coolest things ever! I think that changed my entire perspective on...
