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...

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.

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.

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.

They should have consulted Thomas J Kelly. The width of the landing module shall be 33% bigger than the height.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 ).
