Elon Musk's Big Slap To Jeff Bezos on Blue Origin EXPENSIVE Rocket Manufacturing!

unbelievable the once mysterious operations inside blue Origins Factory have recently been made public accompanied by New Revelations from Jeff Bezos this disclosure has prompted a response from Elon Musk how has musk reacted and what does this reveal about the advantages of spacex's vehicles over blue origins new Glen join us as we explore these developments in today's episode of great SpaceX the activities and systems within the blue origin Factory have long been shrouded in shrouded in mystery within the Aerospace industry what exactly goes on behind those doors how is their vehicle development progressing until recently these details were closely guarded Secrets however a recent interview with Tim Dodd and his team on the everyday astronaut Channel has provided valuable insights into blue Origins operations we extend our gratitude to Tim Dodd and his team for this informative interview and we encourage everyone to follow their X page and subscribe to their YouTube channel to support their continued efforts in bringing us more updates the 1-hour interview offered a detailed tour of the blue origin Factory showcasing various components of the new Glenn rocket viewers saw the AFT and forward sections of the booster the liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen tank sections the second stage and the fairing notably the AFT and forward sections of the booster have been recently tested and announced by Blue origin on X one particularly intriguing detail was Jeff bezos's introduction of CNC milling machines and shaping machines these machines are used to remove material from aluminum and lithium alloy plates with Bezos noting that up to 90% of the material is removed using this method an X account named Alex recently made an intriguing comparison blue origins new Glenn is a very expensive rocket to manufacture compared to spacex's Starship for instance the CNC milling used to remove 90% of the material from thick aluminum lithium alloy plates is extremely timec consuming costly and inefficient compared to using cold rolled sheet metal in rolls musk responded to this tweet stating it is how most of the space industry makes rocket tanks works but is expensive and production is slow musk's comments are supported by spacex's impressive production speed currently SpaceX can produce one Raptor engine per day and completes rocket stacking in just a few weeks in contrast companies like blue origin Ula and NASA often face production timelines extending over several years interviews and previous tests reveal that the forward and a sections of the new Glenn booster still appear quite rough and the be4 engines have yet to make an appearance when discussing what sets SpaceX apart from its competitors 3D printing technology is a key factor this technology creates objects based on a designed framework ensuring uniformity and reducing errors it also facilitates mass production SpaceX utilizes this technology in its star factory system which aims to produce up to six Starship version 2 Rockets this year Elon Musk has set an ambitious goal of producing a 100 ships annually potentially increasing to 300 in terms of production costs companies like blue origin Ula and NASA face significantly higher expenses although blue origin does not disclose its costs NASA has spent over 11 billion US on SLS Hardware in contrast spacex's Raptor engine only costs approximately $200,000 SpaceX also focuses on optimizing its Vehicles notably using stainless steel which is both durable and costeffective this contrasts with blue origins new Glen which Bezos revealed uses aluminum in addition to these differences in speed and cost Bezos made several other notable revelations in a recent interview further highlighting spacex's Competitive Edge Bezos recently discussed the performance of blue origins new Glen specifically focusing on the speed of the booster Landing leg deployment according to Bezos The Landing leg opens in approximately 14 seconds in comparison spacex's Falcon booster is designed to deploy deploy its Landing legs in about 10 seconds while theoretical comparisons suggest the Falcon is quicker actual deployment Times May Vary faster and more flexible deployment is crucial for successful Landings basos also revealed details about new Glen's reusability including its planned number of reuses and turnaround speed blue origin aims for a 100 reuses but will initially Target a vehicle capable of 25 this is significantly lower than spacex's goal for Starship which is a thousand reuses the Falcon booster has already achieved 22 Landings approaching blue Origins reuse Target although it may take years for blue origin to reach this Milestone regarding turnaround speed Bezos stated that new Glenn's turnaround time would be 16 days in contrast SpaceX aims to relaunch Starship within a day or even a few hours musk has set ambitious goals for SpaceX including refly the Falcon booster within an hour and launching Starship daily Bezos has shared several new insights shedding light on why blue Origins progress has lagged behind SpaceX the upcoming debut mission of new Glenn will be a key test for the company's capabilities meanwhile SpaceX is also gearing up for its next Milestone with Starship share your predictions in the comments on which flight will launch First starship's Flight 5 or new Glenn's first don't forget to like share the video and subscribe to the channel to stay updated on spacex's developments turn returning to new Glenn's payload the Escapade spacecraft rocket lab is making significant strides the company recently announced on X and their website that the twin spacecraft blue and gold have been shipped from their Long Beach California facility to Cape canaval Florida once at Cape canaval the spacecraft will undergo 3 weeks of preparation including performance testing removal of protective covers plug checks and fueling regarding the mission process the Escapade spacecraft will be launched aboard the new Glen rocket and embark on an 11mon Journey to Mars each spacecraft will be equipped with three Advanced scientific instruments the eag or escapate magnetometer the Eesa or Isa which stands for escapate electrostatic analyzers and the ELP which is short for Escapade Lang mure probe these instruments are designed to provide NASA with indepth data on Mars focusing particularly on its atmosphere and climate with only a few months remaining until it scheduled launch anticipation is building for the new Glen Mission and the valuable insights it promises to deliver in contrast While Blue origin is still working toward its first orbital rocket Mission SpaceX continues to advance its capabilities with the Falcon 9 on August 16th at 256 p.m. EDT SpaceX successfully launched a falcon9 rocket from SLC 4E in California deploying the transporter 11 Mission this Mission included a payload of 116 small s ites in a sun synchronous orbit this mission is notable for its International scope featuring spacecraft from countries such as Japan Chile the United Kingdom and Australia SpaceX highlighted the significance of right share missions stating R share significantly increases access to space for small satellite operators around the world the spacecraft launched by Falcon 9 as part of this program include Earth observation satellites in space Manufacturing Technologies robotics student research projects Tech demonstrations for human space flight and More in addition to the remarkable feat of Landing the booster this launch marks the 340th landing of a Falcon rocket and the 20th successful Landing of a falcon booster at Landing Zone 4 this Milestone underscores the growing impact of spacex's California launch infrastructure with potential for further expansion if SpaceX secures slc6 on the west coast furthermore this Mission represents the 80th Falcon 9 launch of the Year leaving just 11 more missions to match last year's record of 91 launches given spacex's current Pace it's anticipated that this Milestone could be achieved as early as next month reaching 80 missions is a significant milestone for SpaceX as they set their sights on achieving 148 flights this year with 3 and 1/2 months remaining they need to complete 68 more missions along with this ambitious path they will encounter several key Milestones including matching last year's record of 91 launches surpassing the 100 flight Mark for the first time in history and ultimately reaching their target of 148 flights SpaceX continues to assert its dominance in the Aerospace industry a position that will likely be challenging for competitors such as blue origin to match in the near future we look forward to following spacex's Journey as they aim to break records and set new benchmarks in the years to come well folks that's about it for today's episode thank you so much for tuning in and as always this has been Kevin from great SpaceX until next time keep looking up
