I want to start today with a short clip.

Chapter 2: What caused the Blue Origin rocket explosion?

791.03 - 808.549 Oswald Oschin

Like who, this is totally going to lose money. It's just about Elon's ego. But I bet you like a couple of years from now, there's going to be just like a whole, a whole like wave of tech coverage where it's like people worrying that, oh, the SpaceX Tesla conglomerate is too powerful. And it's going to be like the,

0

808.529 - 834.32 Oswald Oschin

Wayland Corporation and Alien you know it's just like oh we need to like reign these companies in which like two years ago we were saying or like nothing and won't matter and you know I guarantee that will happen So are the humanoid robots the new thing? I feel like we've moved from generative AI and data centers to space travel, and now everyone's talking about the humanoid robots also.

0

834.38 - 855.396 Oswald Oschin

And I'm just like, can't we slow down a little bit? Can't we spend one year on the space travel and then do robots next year? No, don't slow down. We've been too slow. We just wasted two decades on stupid social media. Come on. No offense, Taylor. We should have been doing the humanoid robots the whole time. Who cares? Who cares about Facebook and like, who cares about Facebook and TikTok?

0

855.416 - 868.369 Oswald Oschin

Like I was the one like, can technology coverage actually cover technology? Like I think we're like, we're, we're due for some actual technology and like, I don't want to see things slow down. That's insane. I, I'm with you, Reed.

Chapter 3: How does rocket testing contribute to advancements in space exploration?

868.49 - 882.698 Oswald Oschin

I mean, humanoid robots are tough and I think they're farther away than people think. But like, I mean, there are companies right now that are testing robots. You know, those planes where you get like some zero G time where they drop.

0

882.678 - 900.805 Oswald Oschin

This company is taking robots up there, like nerdy software engineers taking robots up in these planes and like doing tests on robots in zero G while they throw up into bags because they're not used to zero G. I mean, that is just cool. Come on.

0

901.025 - 901.826 Reed Albergotti

I agree.

0

901.847 - 923.202 Oswald Oschin

It's good to have some hard tech on tech stuff. We're going to go to a quick break. But Reid, before we do that, is there a race between SpaceX and Blue Origin? Does this explosion mean that Blue Origin have fallen further behind? Or is this a two-horse race or a one-horse race with a pony cantering behind? Well, I think it's a I think it's a sort of a two horse race right now.

0

923.482 - 941.281 Oswald Oschin

Like there's there's like them and then there's basically like Russia and China. Right. But I think that this is also going to be and I'm sort of I'm sort of repeating like other people have made this argument. But like when SpaceX goes public, there's going to be a huge, a huge explosion in like new space startups.

941.861 - 966.011 Oswald Oschin

And so I think we'll see that this whole ecosystem get more competitive, but also sort of look more like a platform where, you You'll see more companies building on top of these launch systems with, you know, satellites and other, you know, the robots, the space stations, the infrastructure for data centers in space. Like, that's just going to be a huge industry, a big new ecosystem.

966.632 - 969.616 Oswald Oschin

I need that take from Reed. Space is the new platform.

970.297 - 970.397

Yeah.

970.377 - 984.319 Oswald Oschin

It's not my take. I'm not taking credit for it, but I do believe, I do agree. No, I need your piece on it. Oh, my piece on it? Yeah. I will write that. Maybe I'll write it for tomorrow, for the newsletter tomorrow.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Blue Origin in the current space race?
