Musk officially announced NEW Alpha Moonbase SHOCKED NASA! NEW inside HLS Starship testing...
Intro
Elon Musk's SpaceX, the aerospace company, is currently at its prime with Falcon and Starship.
But they never stop and will continue to do many things that no other organization in the space race can do.
Recently, the SpaceX tycoon announced its plans to build its own space base on the Moon.
Musk officially announced NEW Alpha Moonbase SHOCKED NASA! NEW inside HLS Starship testing...
This revelation has shocked NASA as well as Russia and China, as SpaceX aims to establish its lunar outpost using a fleet of Starship HLS spacecraft.
Let’s find out on today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
Elon Musk's ambition
Starship is a dream in development. Recently, it completed its third test flight, during which the spacecraft successfully took off and correctly separated from its first stage. Although the spacecraft and the booster that propelled it to orbital speed were lost, the mission achieved its goal, and the engineers behind the feat managed to gather enough information to further improve it.
Musk officially announced NEW Alpha Moonbase SHOCKED NASA! NEW inside HLS Starship testing...
In line with Elon Musk's long-standing ideal, it's evident that SpaceX will continue pushing the boundaries of space exploration to new interplanetary heights. This was vividly demonstrated during Elon Musk's discussion at Starbase, also broadcasted on X, where he elaborated on the progress and milestones of the Starship program, promising to unveil new perspectives on the world's most unique rocket, including the introduction of a new Moonbase.

I am really getting tired of being shocked!
This is the golden opportunity for Optimus to show it's stuff. It could accelerate the building of the moon base because there would be no human concerns such as breathable air, temperature, radiation or even equipment malfunctions where manual intervention is required. The bots would do the initial setup and standby until humans arrive. The bots wouuld film the entire operation and take instructions from earth as necessary. What a PR masterpiece that would be!
I always wondered why out of the 100+ shuttle missions they didn’t figure out how to boost the big orange tank into orbit and link them into a space station. Just let them burn up.
At it's prime? so all starships exploding is it's prime? They are also almost 2 years behind Musk original schedule for the moon landing. Frankly, NASA has to wait and delay Artemis II cuz of Starship being unable to fly. Artemis already going in orbit around the moon while Starship can't safely reach Earth's orbit. Let's hope Starship launch 4 will finally succeed at something...
Moon base Alpha, Space 1999.cue the disco intro.
...but if the aliens hold Barbara Bain hostage ONE more time, it's full-on war!
@@animistchannel cant really blame them though ,they got good tatse.
The Vulcan's must be losing their patience waiting for us to achieve warp!
How many Starships will it take to transport the Cat D8 bulldozer it's going to take to move all that regolith you're talking about moving?
The D8 weighs under 50 tons; so if you part/pack it out right, one current starship could take 2 of them. Having been around those big Cats myself, that seems outrageous. Massive... freaking... rocket ship! PS: Actually, Starship could carry a D10 earth mover, because even that 2-story front blade would fit inside. That's just insane.
I'm sure other organizations dream of blowing up rockets over and over, and nasa is maybe shock that he can't send a starship to low orvit and he is talking about the moon
Starship can reach moon and back and all it needs is Extra Fuel Tanks on the outside of the Ship like we doing on Fighters to and Range to their Flight. Exertional Fuel Tank are the best and Simple solution to the Starship. Some one needs to inform SpaceX/Elon Musk!!!!!!!!
It would only make sense.... build one there, work out the kinks and figure out the sustainability...
He's like let's make a gas station on the moon. I love this guy
This is perfect as a plan B for when the starship flops over on its side trying to land on the moon.
Doordash already charges enough to supply all the food to a permanent colony on the moon, so that's already solved.
A buried starship is a great place to start excavating tunnels and create subsurface habitat.
How did we get there before, without a refuelling propellant transfer? Subbed.
with a very tiny ship with a lot less cargo capabilities
But how are they going to get rid of the Regolith dust?
So excited about our future and Lunar moon missions as lunar bases construction begins ! Let’s go
Could the Oberth maneuver be used to minimize the amount of fuel used at the expense of a longer time to get to the moon? If true, it may also mean fewer flights to fill the tanks on Starship as the amount of fuel would be less with that manuever.
Can you explain to me why a ship, designed never to return to earth, would have cone shaped front? It should have just a pressure dome at the end of a tube... maybe a discardable aerodynamic cone for takeoff.
Musk can send up his Boring equipment to the moon to drill tunnels there so the Astronauts would live underground and protected from meteorites drizzles. Or a cheaper and faster way is to take up Hamas tunnel diggers to do the job.
They’d still complain about the Jews even on the moon!
A space Cybre Truck.
Great video. Gives me hope.
If you also factor in the advantages of Tesla's Optimus robots and what they will be capable of doing in a couple of years the risk tolerance for moon landings is changed by an order of magnitude at least. IMHO SpaceX will send tens of Optimis to the moon to take on many of the manual tasks, the savings in life support alone will be enormous , and what an advertising campaign for the Optimus project.
They should have consulted Thomas J Kelly. The width of the landing module shall be 33% bigger than the height.
love to hear Casey Casum still doing voice work.
Keep up your excellent work bro, we appreciate your discipline 💪
I appreciate that!
Thoughts. Does the elevator basket have to return to orbit after unloading cargo. Modify the basket with cable quick release, add wheels or skids and tow attachment by moon vehicle. Move cargo to needed location and bots designed to move cargo modules on the moon, no grunt work for the astronauts and prevent injuries. Tow back to Starship, reconnect cable and repeat process. Basket is left behind to function as a trailer to relocate supplies or transport personnel.
Starship V3 need more payload capacity! Cause 8-20x refueling in space doesnt make sense! Too complex and expensive
Excellent stuff bro
Glad you enjoyed it
I would suggest 5 or 6 legs to allow for some error in non level surface. Maybe legs with a two or three foot spring to reduce impact, maybe Apollo had this also.
All these ideas. Wow. I can't wait to see Starship actually orbit and land.
It's so funny how an AI voice says it's "excited "about the next step in space colonization. That's kind of scary.
I hope SpaceX does build its own base. I’m not sure I completely trust government. If Musk ever gets crossways with NASA or any other part of the government nobody knows what would happen. He also needs another Starbase outside the US.
I'm not in favor of rockets no more, ever sense i saw the Andromeda ship, built by ? , belongs to 323 based in Antarctica
I'm happy to hear that SpaceX is finally going to concentrate on building a permanent base on the Moon. It makes a lot more sense than the over-reach a Mars Base represents.
This is a step in the latter mission... right? Yes.
@@richardsmith8590 It would be, if the later mission is achieved... (depending on your use of the word latter.) It is a better use of time and effort to prepare for a number of goals. With the state of the western world's Globalist governments, we will be lucky to survive, let alone travel to the Moon, other moons, Mars, Venus and the asteroids.
This is BIG having a moon base could make future launches MUCH easier!! Launching to Mars from the moon would save a lot of fuel!! Not to mention leaving the moon is far easier then leaving earth! This would be a big win!!
for spaceX , it commercially might make sense to use an empty lunar starship hull as a module for a lunar habitat, since they already have invested a lot of development in it. But technically it is a lot of effort: you cannot reuse that Starship and need to bring a second starship to take the crew back. the old engines are heavy, so you might even need another starship to bring these back to Earth. The hull is just an enclosure, but most of the components make the interior walls and ceilings, furniture and equipment, that need to be brought and installed. since the tip of the nose is the only position where you can join another starship and extend the moonbase, the geometry is not flexible for a village like constellation. . with an intermediate plug-module ,you only can add 6-8 starship hulls into a radial formation. It makes more sense to develop and produce ultralight inflatable modules with optimal geometry, of which you can fit all modules for a whole village into one starship cargo bay, and cover these inflatable modules with lunar regolith.
I didn't see the old video. This works for me...💕💕🙏👍💪
Seeing as the Japanese lunar lander toppled over, why wouldn’t this top heavy starship do the same?
Because itll be side ways?
Cause space-x is American and we're better than the japs.
the answer is simple before touchdown they had a lateral velocity. All falcon 9 boosters land straight down. What it takes is use a 4 beam Doppler radar to control the descent velocity and zero out the lateral velocities, besides the thrusters on the lunar lander are above the CG so preventing a fall over is easy, controlling the length of each landing leg will ensure that the loads are equally distributed, before engine shutdown. There are no better engineers than spaceX people, trust them.
Landing legs should protrude past the bottom of the rocket to protect the Raptor Engines.
The Moon landing version of the starship HAS TO HAVE a large (multi deck, not just floor to ceiling) 360 viewing window. First skyscraper on the Moon !
Awesome news! A moonbase makes a lot of sense. I am so glad to see plans have been in the making for this exciting adventure! 👏
the moon is not 1.4 million miles. Is roughly 240,000 miles
Tall and top heavy, what could possibly go wrong?
I wonder if SpaceX could build earth ram walls with all that moon 🌙 dust and would it be safe to breathe in there with out the space Suits on.
Taking heavy inspiration from Space: 1999 I see. All Elon needs now are the Eagle transports.
Use epoxy or a similar approach to create a hard shell on top of the regolith which would help keep the micro dust to a minimum. Regolith destroys equipment, it is a main issue, for sure.
Best to do is Send A Boring Tunnel Worm with the Starship as the first Cargo. Itll land then bore a hole connecting surface into lunar Volcanic Tunnel. Then Land another Starship with a Nuclear Reactor for power and bulding materials, a few Cyber Truck Rovers.
best is just bild a hyperloop to the moon :D
Its humanities destiny to go among the stars.🎆✨🎇
As previous attempts to land on the surface of the Moon show, the surface of the Moon is soft, not solid. It means that before Spaceship will land on it, must be geological research provided. We can expect that Spacex will send to the Moon small luna rovers, making such research.
does anybody know how far lunar starship can get back on its return from the moon at the Artemis mission? after being refilled in LEO by 10 -12 tanker starships, the delta-V capacity is around 6,9 km/s. With that it has to make a rendezvous with Lunar gateway to board the crew, than get into low lunar orbit, decelerate to land on the required site, and on the way back leave the lunar field of gravity . Will it only reach lunar gateway and then needs to be abandoned with its empty fuel tank? or can it make its way back to LEO to be refilled and reused again?
I think this is made up by this channel. It would be much easier to transport a habitat to the moon rather than try to convert a starship.
I'm glad to see a comment from an engineer.
I predicted this in your comments recently! lol
Musk reminds me of Hugo Drax from Moonraker.
Hopefully they achieve it
Absolute fantasy, who wrote this script Musk's PR department - gotta keep that stock up
go your own way elon
I seen a cartoon called America Attacks, that was about the discovery of a abandon moon base that looked like the one shown in this video, but it had these tracks pointing out from the center, with these five rings spaced out along them, the story goes on with an American astronaut going into the base a realises he can power it up, and when he does, boulders outside start rolling towards the tracks outside onto the tracks, and as they lined up with earth the rocks were shot at earth like a rail gun, this was when an alien race shows up killing the astronaut and shutting down the base. What I was surprised about was the film got suppressed and I was never able to find it again, wonder why, was it a sales pitch for the American military secret for funding and was never meant for the public.
Moon base alpha ? Space 1999 thing really it's still on go Elon
Just like they've never been to the moon that's not going anywhere either
Why do they have to wait 100 days for lunar landing crew?
To do multiple system checks, provide a optimum window for success, it costs nothing more to assure success and human lives are on the line. It isn't about speed of arrival.
I wonder if the regolith on the moon's surface is stable enough to land something so heavy as this? I'm sure that has been considered, but I wonder what their findings were and/or if that was a reason why they would land in a certain area which is more stable etc..?
Why would you land on the moon with engines that won't be used? Surely you would jettison them before, so they can be recovered on the return trip to earth? (or a later date).
Reminds me of Ben Bovas Welcome to Moonbase.
Does Elon plan on being the of commander of the first flight. 👍
Really? It´s just a drawing stop hyping this shit up.
Why make the HLS hang around in lunar orbit awaiting the crew to arrive in a cramped capsule? Just load the crew in low Earth Orbit. They would be far more comfortable and productive on their way to the moon and back. A SpaceX Crew Dragon could transfer them, then could wait in orbit for their return. The SLS, Orion, and the Lunar Gateway would be unneeded.
DeltaV requirements. Circularise on earth orbit while back from the moon would require same amount of DeltaV as moon insertion orbit. Orion or Apollo use aerobraking during re-entry, but that's not possible for Starship HLS.
I hope there is a Shagwell Crater on the moon!
Why would you build anything on the surface of the moon? They have the boring company. Everything permanent should be underground.
Probably not even saga underground have you already done a Geotechnical survey? And if so, when was that? And if so have you accepted the fact that meteorites don’t burn up there hence the giant craters … dream on!
Again, one new video and one old video in one video. If you don't have anything new to present, its better to not add to the video, you just waste our time.
RFK Jr belivies in global warming. How would he fit into the Pres. Trump administration? Do not believe me? Watch the Jordan Peterson interview.
I know what you mean by presenting repeats but there are many people who know nothing about what Spacex is doing. I have to explain it to others myself all the time. I will suffer on if more people are joining the Spacex team.
Relax, he just needs more views to make more money.
Good thing I didn’t see the old video so now I’m better caught up.
Hey I haven't seen this video , so it's all new to me. The Author just doesn't serve you!!!!!
Guess Mars was a little to far?
baby steps.
SpaceX needs to land something small now
You will need an atmosphere hangar to service all those starships or dead on site?
I hope they bring a damned ladder. I'd hate to have only a single elevator as my only access to safety and oxygen.
I'd like to know how they plan on laying the ship down. Why not construct a rocket ship built for landing horizontally and complete for occupancy? At some point, I have no doubt, Elon's it on the back burner.
That would be the easy part. Use the mid-ship rockets, if you've got enough of the gassious fuel... If not...
Спасибо за классное видео!
Why doesn't lunar Starship either eject the main raptors before landing since it has separate landing rockets or just try to make do with the landing rockets for all propulsion and just fire them longer and never use raptors after earth orbit is achieved. It seems like a horrible waste of mass to drag along something you're not going to use
Elon you Rock man!!! Cheers!!!
It would be more sensible to invest in repairing the damage that is being done to our home planet. Hemp was a huge industry right up to the 1830s providing materials to make clothes paper and even clean non polluting fuel for cars. Henry Ford even made an entire car from Hemp and ran it on clean none polluting Hemp derived fuel. Space is Waste.
The Pharmaceutical COMPLEX made Hemp Illegal by categorizing it as a schedule 1 drug. The SAME as Heroin as we allow Fentanyl to proliferate 💥 Stupid!
I smoked all the hemp.
They need to send 1000 Tower Gardens, with enough seeds, to grow 2 million plants. There will be no need to send oxygen to the Moon. With the new hydrogen fuel cells, they can then produce water, oxygen and or fuel!
easy for you to say Mr. survivalist. 🤣
@@JackO024 Technologies are always being upgraded. Hopefully the government, will not try to stop innovation again!
Is Musk making a Moon EV - MEV
This is were all the aliens will go before they are allowed to come to earth 👽
Namal sri lanka ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks
I don’t see why Spacex needs to put many thrusters on the top of the fuel section. One Starship is not going to pollute the moon’s orbit any more than a meteorite and any problem would be temporary since the moon’s uneven gravity will pull anything out orbit. Designing all of the thrusters is needlessly complex. Just have the first Starship bring its own landing pad and future ships can land on it. Simpler is better.
Bring its own landing pad? That would be a neat trick.
@@christopherpardell4418 Easy! You just stretch out your arm like a Looney Toons character and slap it down under the rocket REAL QUICK right before you land :)
I did say future ships could land on it. As I understand it Raptor engines would blow off lunar regolith that could damage other structures/rockets. After the first Starship lands it can bring out its loony tunes pad building equipment and scrape off a sufficiently large area to bare rock that other ships can land and takeoff without causing debris. Then they can avoid modifying Starship to carry multiple landing thrusters. Imagine the extra engineering, thruster mass not to mention added strengthening of hull. The renders look easy but building it will be hard. The best part is no part.
Ship has only landed once ( sort of ).
Any time they use the word shocked, I close the channel GB!
What moon base ? There is no moon Nór Space. This is just matrix dezinfo do sheeple
How to get a Starship to lay down on it's side on the moon? Just move a 15 ton rover out of the upper hatch and over it goes.
We have load cells and inclinometers for stuff like that.
@@davidladd5597 And how do you propose measuring the stability of the regolith under the landing pads?
we already on the moon and riding crazy horse daily
why not just bild a hyperloop to the moon ... seems more reasonble :D
This may require updating international law. I know the Moon is not "international" but we of Earth are governed by such in our use of the Moon. United Nations' legislation doesn't spell out what private enterprise can or cannot do, at least so far as I have read of the resolution. It seems the agreement was meant to stay free of ownership and used for science.
The UN limits have outlived their usefulness. Corporate colonialism of moon and mars is the future and once large enough will be independent nations. Resources banned from developing at all in Antarctica is a huge waste, limits yes but next to the US base is a volcano that dumps $6000 a day on avg. on the base area in gold since it has been there. (Also one untouched in Columbia too with gold sides). In the Antarctic there is little impact as long as you avoid the penguins. Weapons should stay banned but a reactor powered colony should be allowed.
Antarctica is a space port.
Moon base Alpha? Do we need to worry about the moon taking off and out of Earth's orbit anytime soon? 😁 But on a serious note. I am surprised that Elon Musk want's to make his own moon base. Yes he has talked about the need for one but he also wanted NASA to do that while he focused on Mars. I wonder what changed his mind? Maybe he plans to use it as a testbed for rocked landings. So Spacex will know what it's doing when they finally go to Mars. I must admit that this is great news as this will enable more people to get to space sooner than expected. I am really excited at the news. 😃 Shackleton crater looks like a good location as it could provide both water and near continuous sunlight for the base.
he will need a place to run to becuse of hes lies :D so ye makes sense
So Mars is No?
It’s easier and cheaper to launch from Moon to Mars 🤦🏻♂️
Even from earth, moon is only way to properly test stuff like building from regolith or dealing with long term habitation, so it will be far easier to have success on Mars. Sending new iteration of equipment to moon take only few days, and window is always open. Trip to Mars is several months and window is is only few months every 4 years.
Very pleased to hear of this initiative, with high hope for it's ultimate success. The more time goes by, the less likely that NASA is seen as a capable or reliable partner in such an effort.
It’s Musk who has turned out to be the unreliable partner. His starships are way behind schedule and threaten delays to the Artemis project.
What they need to do is harvest water on the moon clean it and send it back to earth to make sure we don't evaporate the water in space or on the moon.
Let me guess… you’re neither a physicist nor an engineer?
Elon is going to mine tang.
Most Libs cant admit Musk is a tech god with brains
Libs don't believe in brains in general. They believe you can only be smart if you're six figures in debt with a gender studies degree. Raw intelligence is not equitable.
Most libs just think he's an egomaniac and a liar just like Trump.
Raptor engine #42 😂😂😂
What happens if the elevator breaks while they're on the moon?
They won't let that happen
