ELON: SOMEONE HAS TO SOLVE ROCKET REUSABILITY — WHETHER IT’S SPACEX OR SOMEONE ELSE “The cost of the fuel and oxygen on a Falcon 9 is 0.3% of the cost of the rocket. So, it's a very tiny number. It's very similar to an airplane. How much does it cost to fuel up an airplane, and how much does it cost to buy an airplane? They're very different things. If humanity is ever to expand beyond Earth and establish a self-sustaining base on another planet, it's critical that we solve this problem. Whether it's SpaceX or someone else, someone has to solve the problem, and we can have a hundred-fold reduction in the cost of spaceflight. That's what SpaceX has been trying to do, and really that's been the goal since the beginning of the company. So far, I've not been very successful in that regard, but I think we have a handle on it. We've got a design that closes in the simulations. If we can build that thing, it should work.” Source: SXSW, March 2013

🚨FUSION AND SOLAR ARE THE KEYS TO DEEP-SPACE TRAVEL David Kirtley, CEO of Helion Energy: “That's how I got into fusion, thinking about the intersection of energy and space travel. Near Earth, collecting the sun’s energy makes sense. It’s free, and spacecraft use solar panels because there’s plenty of irradiance without the atmosphere blocking it. But the sun’s energy falls off with radius squared. It doesn’t take long before there isn’t much energy out there, and you have to bring your own. In space, mass is expensive, that’s the rocket equation, so high-energy-density fuel is exciting, and that’s what fusion enables. The challenge is if you make electricity from fusion using a steam cycle, you need something cool, a working fluid to dump heat into. In space, there’s nothing to cool against. So many steam-based fusion systems don’t make sense in space, which is why direct-energy, high-efficiency fusion matters.” Source: Lex Fridman David Kirtley

How a single, obvious question led Elon Musk to create SpaceX and changed space travel forever: “I came to the conclusion that there wasn’t really a good reason for rockets to be so expensive, and that they could be a lot less Even in an expendable format they could be less" From day one, Elon's mission has been crystal clear: make rockets fully reusable, just like commercial airplanes "The cost of space travel would drop dramatically, because the cost of the fuel was maybe anywhere from 0.2 to 0.5 percent of the cost of the rocket But nobody had really been able to make a reusable rocket work. So I thought, ‘Okay, if we can do that, then that would really be the key breakthrough for space travel’”

🇺🇸 Elon says Space X will launch solar AI satellites powered by the sun "The sun rounds up to 100% of all energy. Even if you were to burn Jupiter in a thermonuclear reactor, the amount of energy produced by the sun would still run up to 100%. One of the things we'll be doing with SpaceX within a few years is launching solar-powered AI satellites. The space is really the source of immense power." Source: Reuters, Elon Musk, SpaceX

Elon Musk explains how to get startup ideas When asked how he comes up with startup ideas, Elon responds: “I tend to think of things from a sort of physics standpoint… what’s the best way to accomplish something? And then pursue that. That’s also a good way to determine if something’s far from its optimum.” He gives rockets as an example: “You could reason by analogy and say the rocket is going to cost a certain amount because that’s what prior rockets have cost. Or you can say, well, what is a rocket made of? What are the material constituents? What do they weigh? What’s the cost per unit mass? And that sets the limit asymptotically for what a rocket can be. So if you can figure out some creative way to rearrange those elements into a rocket shape, then you can achieve a much better outcome.” He also thinks combining ideas from different industries is really helpful for innovation: “What have people discovered in one industry and can that be applied to other industries? That’s I think also a great source of ideas. But usually you just struggle on a solution and try a bunch of things. Most of them don’t work and occasionally one does.” Source: VANITY FAIR (Oct 2014)

SpaceX had zero idea how to build a rocket in the beginning. That became the genius of it: Elon rejected conventional wisdom entirely and grounded everything in first-principles thinking instead of copying competitors or blindly following “best practices” nobody could justify. Tesla and SpaceX exist because he refused to accept that this is just how things are done. But the cost is real. ELON CLIPS

Elon Musk: I started reading about rockets to understand why they're so freaking expensive. “I started reading quite a bit about rockets to try to understand why they're so freaking expensive. Where does the $60 million go for the Delta II? Now Delta II, I think, is $100 million or something, some crazy number. And Delta II is a relatively small rocket. If you go to one of the bigger rockets, it's anywhere from $200 to $400 million. Anyway, so I came to the conclusion that there wasn't really a good reason for rockets to be so expensive, and that they could be a lot less. Even in an expendable format, they could be less. And that if one could make them reusable, like airplanes, then the cost of rocketry would drop dramatically, the cost of space travel would drop dramatically. Because the cost of the fuel was maybe anywhere from 0.2% to 0.5% of the cost of the rocket. It's like a plane. How much is the cost of the fuel in the plane versus the plane itself? It's at least a two-order-of-magnitude difference. But nobody had really been able to make a reusable rocket work. So I thought, if we can do that, then that would really be the key breakthrough for space travel.” Interview at the Computer History Museum, 2013

🚀 Starship will be the 1st fully reusable orbital rocket in history. Liquid oxygen, liquid methane, and a cost-per-launch that could drop below trans-oceanic air freight. Elon put it simply: "The cost of access to orbit is just the cost of propellant." If that holds, the economics of space will get rewritten entirely. Source: SpaceX, Elon Musk

“ As we progress along the Kardashev Scale, energy harnessed on Earth will increase a hundredfold and will mostly be solar aka fusion aka starlight. Then energy harnessed will increase perhaps a billionfold if we make it to Kardashev II, with space solar power, and another billionfold if we harness the energy of our galaxy 🌌 .” — Elon Musk

Elon Musk: Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1 but has 400 times the payload. “One of the most profound things is that Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1. That's the difference between a fully reusable rocket or an expendable rocket. The fully reusable rocket with low-cost propellant and autogenous pressurization actually costs less than a tiny expendable rocket. Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit. The Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1. Ultimately, I think we might be able to get the cost per flight to Earth orbit down to around $2 or $3 million. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible but we're not breaking any physics to achieve this.” SpaceX Update, April 4, 2024

Elon Musk: Here's what we need to have a fully sustainable energy economy. “There are three elements to a sustainable energy future. One is sustainable energy generation, which is primarily wind and solar. There's also hydro, geothermal. I'm actually pro-nuclear. I think nuclear is fine. But it's going to be primarily solar and wind as the primary generators of energy. The second part is you need batteries to store the solar and wind energy, because the sun doesn't shine all the time, the wind doesn't blow all the time. So it's a lot of stationary battery packs. And then you need electric transport. So electric cars, electric planes, boats. And ultimately we can have a fully sustainable energy economy. And it's those three things: solar/wind, stationary battery pack, electric vehicles. So then what are the limiting factors on progress? The limiting factor really will be battery cell production. So that's going to really be the fundamental rate driver.” Source: TED, April 14, 2022.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins says the cost of living is the main election issue. So how will Mr Hipkins address this problem? Renewable energy! So if he becomes PM, households won't see the cost of living go down. Rather it will continue to skyrocket. Simply because renewable energy is one of the major drivers of cost of living increases. The Labour leader's wrong headed thinking on this aligns with similar ideological nonsense from his socialist comrades like Keir Starmer in the UK and Tony Albanese in Australia. This dangerous and foolish obsession with falsely named renewables, driven by political ambition, greed and cronyism, has seen energy prices rise to a a level three times what they were a decade ago. If Mr Hipkins really wanted to address the cost of living, he would completely abandon renewable energy and a good start would be to discontinue the Emissions Trading Scheme. Taking close to one billion dollars from consumer's pockets every year it is driving up the cost of every household item. Including food and fuel. A simple remedy, but unacceptable to Hipkins because of his rigid ideological stance. Vote Hipkins/ Labour if you want the same economic chaos in New Zealand as you're seeing in the UK and Australia right now.

No one really understands nukes. Thermonuclear weapons aren't 'demonic,' but control of the atom is a technological leap that many species will never make. Humans can understand every physical principle in this Universe, even dangerous ones. We build the weapons that will destroy us. Nukes haven't been used only once, and they are more than just big radioactive explosions. They are the key to unlimited energy and travel amongst the stars. "The physics of the H bomb is also the key to the unlimited energy of fusion." - Fusion Energy Foundation (1981)

What would be the best way to accomplish something? And then pursue that."

He shares a second source of ideas: "Combining ideas from different industries is really helpful for innovation. What have people discovered in one industry that can be applied to other industries? That's a great source of ideas." Elon also explains why he started with software: "The great thing about software or anything which just involves intellectual capital is that you and a few friends can just do it. That's why doing some sort of internet thing is great as an initial company. That's why Zip2 and PayPal gave me the capital to attempt more capital-intensive activities." He concludes: "Usually you just struggle on a solution. You try a bunch of things. Most of them don't work. Occasionally one does."

$RKLB New Peter Beck interview today on Bloomberg: Does SpaceX's dominance threaten Rocket Lab? "No, I don't think so. The reality is SpaceX is a space company, but also very much an AI company and a bunch of other things as well. Rocket Lab is a very squarely focused pure play space company. I think it draws investors into the sector. And when they go looking, Rocket Lab is really the clear number two with respect to launch frequency and those kinds of things. So no, I'm not too worried about that.” "So do you find yourself complementary to SpaceX? Or are you in direct competition with Elon Musk?" "In some cases we are in direct competition, but also very complementary. We are an end-to-end space company. We're the second most frequently launched US rocket in the world behind SpaceX, so the rocket bit is competitive. But two-thirds of our business is building satellites and spacecraft and supplying components to the rest of the space industry. So in that sense, not really a competitor at all."

Everything in the economy runs on the same input. Compute, AI, robotics, manufacturing, transport... it's all energy underneath. That matters now because of demographics. Fewer workers every year means the economy only grows if output per head grows fast, and the engine for that is the Exponential Age... AI and robotics doing the work people used to. But all of that runs on energy. So the cost of energy is the ceiling on the whole thing. That's why the EU, Japan, China, the US and the UK are all moving at the same time. If we can take the cost of energy to near zero, GDP per capita stops being hostage to the price of a barrel of oil. That's the way out of this mess.
