bill nye on the remarkable efficiency of spacex
Bookmarked 591 weeks ago
bill nye the science guy opines on the pros and cons of nasa and spacex manufacturing in a congressional move of either genius or ignorance the decentralization of nasa facilities has resulted in remarkable resilience at the expense of efficiency and cost control that is bill closes with some off-the-cuff fantasizing about his own trip into spacedon039t miss new big think videos subscribe by clicking here: http:googlcptsv5read more at bigthinkcom: http:googld9ovrmtranscript - so spacex is a response to the history of space exploration this is my point of view so one of the magical things about nasa the national aeronautics and space administration here in the us is the administration has stayed about the same for 1958 what is that 56 years the reason is congress had either the ignorance or the genius to put a dozen nasa centers in 13 different places around the us and when you try to close a nasa center in congress people come unglued you can039t close a nasa center this is how people got to the moon when john kennedy was shot which was an awful thing any idea to cancel the moon program was squashed as soon as kennedy was shot we couldn039t not not go as the expression goes so humans went to the moon the space program existed changed the world in a great way however it made things expensivewhen you build rocket engines in alabama and you get the fuel from utah and you test them in mississippi and you then send them to florida and control all that from texas with some drop testing done in cleveland and all sorts of material science research done in california some flight tests done in the desert in arizona when you do all that you just add cost when you go to spacex the material the stainless steel and the aluminum come off the train cars it goes through the factory like this we make our tanks we make our space frame or airframe we make our rocket engine bells we hook up all our plumbing it goes back this way we do the wiring and it goes back on the train car and goes to either vandenberg air force base or cape canaveral because it039s all made in one place but the way nasa was established in 1958 it039s not set up that way and that was good and bad so it is to be hoped that spacex sierra nevada space blue origins that these companies will emerge and lower the cost especially of taking stuff to low earth orbit keep in mind everybody for all the free market libertarian let039s go laissez-faire people spacex has taken at least half a billion dollars 500 million from nasa because nasa wants to develop this capability when you buy an atlas v rocket or a delta iv rocket those are commercially made gizmos and so is going to be the falcon and falcon heavy these are commercial rockets and nasa has gone to great lengths to develop that business it039s all good it039s all goodi would go to space like that i applied to be an astronaut four times i would love to get a view of the earth from space and right now the price is 200000 it starts to come down into the 10th of that i could imagine doing it if you039ve never jumped out of a plane with a parachute that is cool i don039t do it full-time but i get it it039s exciting and you do see the world in a new way and you039re in the air everybody039s dream is to be able to fly you039re flying for a few moments i get it i can see how people get hooked on that and i think space exploration would be the same dealdirectedproduced by jonathan fowler elizabeth rodd and dillon fitton
