 Of course, everyone is always, always asking when is the show, in fact someone in the chat room is saying it's second in the show, when's show, show now! That's right everybody, welcome to tomorrow. So glad to have you all here today for June 9th, 2023, I had to think about what year it was there. Welcome everybody to tomorrow today, having it with that. I'm Jared. We've also got Dali, Ryan, and Dada with us, and happy pride to all of you celebrating it this month. We have got quite a show for you today, we're going to be talking about Stoke Aerospace to get started, Boeing and even more hot water, we've got a Vulcan lighting itself, Virgin Orbit officially dead, maybe a little bit about some rollout solar arrays being installed. And Ryan, you've got a pretty sweet Lego set that I may want to show off in front of everybody since you showed it to us, but not quite yet because we want to talk about Stoke, because we're all stoked about Stoke Aerospace, so let's go ahead and just roll right into it what we've got, what we've got for Stoke Aerospace. So, Stoke have stoked the fire, at least their own fire, and I quote, engine and heat shield are kicking ass. So essentially Stoke are doing a lot, they have their little hopper test, like they're equivalent to a star hopper, grass hopper, their hopper vehicle which is going to be their proof of concept that they can take off land and not blow up, so we wish them all the best and we've been getting some epic imagery such as this photograph right here, so if you don't know how Stoke is planning to work their recoverable upper stage or in this case their hopper, basically it's a single engine with multiple, what do you call it, outty bits, but it's a heat shield as well. I forgot what they're called. Truster? Engine? Vernier? It's a single engine that goes into multiple, second he says ducts, I'm not sure if ducts is the correct terminology, but basically outty bits as we would say. Perhaps separate combustion chambers? I'm not sure technically how it works, all I know is it's technically just one engine, but it's an engine that's feeding the whole manifold. Going around the outside of the heat shield because it's a heat shield underneath and I know this is going brilliantly. No I'm just looking at Jason, I love it, Jason said it's called RD-170, so nice one, middle pyro, obviously pyro in your name so you might be a bit of an expert at this, nozzles. Nozzles? I quite like it. To calibrate the nozzle, please continue to look at the nozzle. Anyway, it's called the nozzles, they're all around the heat shield and then the nozzles and the heat shield they interacted away that it makes it an aero spike basically, that's what I was trying to say. So Jared's face just went, I love aero spike engines, they're great. So it's a big aero spike, but the aero spike is the heat shield, so you can put engines underneath your rocket and they don't get fried on re-entry, but of course this hopper won't be re-entering the atmosphere, it'll be going up a little way, coming down a little way just like aforementioned star hopper and grass hopper. So yeah, that's kind of the latest development out of Stoke which is very exciting to say the least. And Seccy saying where Tim Dodd, of course Tim Dodd has an absolutely epic video about aero spike engines and the problems with them and apparently why they're not as good, which me and Tim are definitely going to have to arm wrestle over that because I believe aero spike engines are better and the superior engine and it's just the R and D that's not being done and stop being cowards and start doing it. But with this, as meaningless as in our chat room, I really like this way of describing it for all of the Star Wars nerds, the exhaust ports there, how exactly does all of this combustion coming out against the heat shield do what an aero spike does because an aero spike combustion is going into the spike, so you don't have to have the nozzle, a traditional bell shaped nozzle in order for that, which basically means that at all altitudes, you have similar efficiency so it will run with about the same specific impulse, which is what we use to measure efficiency for rocket engines. About the same at sea level as it will in vacuum and everywhere in between, it's not like say a really great example of this is the Falcon 9 with their Merlin engine and the Merlin vacuum engine, take a look at the differences. You can see the Merlin vacuum engine has a nozzle that's almost as wide as the actual Falcon 9 itself. Wow. The traditional nozzle is as wide, let's not talk about the stubby nozzle. Oh my God, I don't even want to talk about the stubby nozzle, I hate the stubby nozzle, it doesn't exist, it can't hurt me. In addition to that, you also get engines like the RS-25, which have a nozzle that's optimized to work from sea level to space, sea level to vacuum itself, basically running that middle of the road when it could be even better, but ECA pretty much nailing it right there, expanding gases, push against the heat shield and I do want to ask, just because I personally have not looked at the overall design, I've looked at their engine overall, but are they using the heat shield in their engine as a heat shield for returning as well? Yes. Dargi, do you want to take that while I get some pictures? Yeah. You mentioned Tim Dodd, he's got my favorite coverage on this. He also goes to Stoke and they describe the process of how they use the shape of the heat shield and this annular ring of jets to induce some additional pressure that wouldn't otherwise be there because you're in the middle of a whole ring of these things and essentially pushing against your own plume, some back pressure is going to come up and because you've got relatively large area across the bottom, that adds up to meaningful extra pushy pushy in the forward direction. Then when you're coming back down, that same shape is your heat shield and apparently they're actually going to be actively cooling the heat shield by plumbing the turbo pump stuff through that heat shield on the way down so that when they're doing the final bit of the landing, if I understood this correctly, that a lot of that heat that's driving the turbo pump will actually be from the heat shield. Look, I want to go back to the actual vehicle itself if you could there. What this bit? Yes, that is, if I have ever seen it in my life, that is a Roton rocket sitting on top of a stubby Falconer. That is it. Or if you just go back to the upper stage itself, I'm assuming that's the upper stage. It literally just looks like a more roundy DCX. So this is the interstage area. It gets wider, interestingly, for the heat shield slash engine. And then this is the second stage which can go into orbit and come back. So this is basically essentially, not really, but it's concept is kind of like a mini starship. It goes to orbit, it can come back, it's a fully reusable second stage. And of course, it's like the upper stage in a dragon that don't come apart and then come back down together. Oh my God, that's so cool. The first stage literally looks like you've taken a full Falcon 9 Block 5 and just kind of squished it to half its height. Even the landing legs in this render are half the aspect ratio you'd expect from the Falcon 9. If you're not trying to cart it down the highway, it's a more efficient shape, especially if the thing that you're trying to bring down needs to be at least this big in order to come down. Well, no sense really making the rocket appreciably smaller behind it. Making a really tiny, skinny rocket behind it is not as efficient as making, fill up the space back there. Yeah. And many of you in the chat room are noticing its stubbiness with that there. And I think that's the key word and I absolutely love it for that. So I will never be able to not see a Roton DCX child sitting on top of a chopped up Falcon 9. I've got an image here from there, I think they're based out in Washington State or so up that way. And I think this is the actual hopper hopper, at least something that's done a wet dress rehearsal. Oh my gosh, look at it. And it's even got an antenna. It literally looks like star hopper. It's brilliant. It is a hopper. Do they have a name for it yet? Like shopper? I'm sure it'll get one. Hopper? Unfortunately it's already taken by certain water tank in Starbase. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's fine. That's understandable. We're okay with that. So anyways, top tip, if you ever want to make anybody mad about the history of vertical takeoff, vertical landing rockets, just mention DCX because almost everybody forgets about DCX and DCX was awesome. So I just want to say DCX totally did the belly flop before the belly flop was a thing except it was called the swan dive. So just saying, go look at the swan dive flight, you'll understand what I'm talking about. So it's on YouTube, by the way. So there's a YouTube video about DCX, all these behind the scenes videos of it. That's like an hour and a half long and I watch it a couple of times every month to remind myself of what could have been. That's in the past, Stoke is the now. That is awesome. I'm so excited to see that because Aerospike, because DCX, Roton Child sitting on top of it there. There it is, the swan dive. I don't think we'll get in trouble for this. We'll find out. Yeah, I was going to say, also I was wondering, we'll see if we have audio rolling through this either. But oh my gosh, look at the go. And they were doing this before it was cool. Yes, this was in the early 90s. By the way, Japan at JAXA also had a vertical takeoff, vertical landing reusable vehicle in case you wanted to know. And then also throughout there, as someone as JCTV in our chat room is mentioning as well, Mastin as well, vertical takeoff, vertical landing rockets out of very important time with that there. In fact, I would imagine if you go into the early engineering divisions at places like SpaceX and Blue Origin and maybe Mastin, you'll probably find a lot of the fellows and folks that were working on this there. I just love how quick it's coming in. Look at that. Little leggies are going to stick out. Here they come. Come on, come on. There we go. Look at it go. There it is. By the way, that was not a small thing. So I think it was 12 to 15 meters tall. That's my approximate guess from what I remember. Anyways, now that I'm so excited about that and forever mad at the X33 causing that program to be killed. Let's move on. Dada appears. If you want to see some of that history, there's a test article up at Mojave Air and Spaceport sitting out in the sun. There's a Roton rocket. I'm sure Launcher I think or Vast will be able to see that when they start up to Mojave when they go and see their facilities which they bought. If I recall correctly, there is an actual scale that test pilots use to describe the ease at which to fly an aircraft that ranges from 1 to 10. And I just want to say the Roton prototype that did fly. They did do actual taxi tests with it. And I recall the pilot giving it a flat zero so that it was just basically near impossible to fly it. I haven't heard that story so I don't know. So I'll have to dig that. Maybe I'll do a little tomorrow space pod something about that. It's a point. Let me tell you the 90s were a wild time for commercial space flight. You think the aughts in the early 2010s were nuts. Let me tell you about the 90s maybe. But of course that's past. We're talking about the current, the present, stoke. Very, very cool with that. And last week we talked a little bit about a company that's also involved in current aerospace. You might have heard of them before. They're called Boeing. They're sort of not in their prime. I guess it's a nice way for me to say it. I'm trying to be nice about it. But also there's incentive to not be nice about it. And Dolly, you've got a little, I don't know if you're crying or if you're, I don't know if you're crying of sadness or just frustration because Boeing was back in the news this week. And not because of flammable tape or bad parachutes. It was something else that wasn't particularly great. Are you asking, oh, it's to me. Sorry. Didn't realize. Yeah, no, you're good, Dolly. You're good. Yeah, we were just talking a little bit about the issue of tooling with Boeing there. Yeah, no, you're good. Get the baton, tooling at Boeing. Yeah, so my understanding is Boeing arranged for a company to demonstrate some tooling that would very precisely torquey the little button, the connections from the RS-25, make sure it was all perfect. And they had the robotics that were just chef's kiss. So Boeing said, hey, come demonstrate your wonderful robotics. And they brought in seven people from the robotics competitor company in the room and didn't disclose that that was the case. So there's like maybe a violation of nondisclosures. And the robotics company then is suing Boeing for essentially stealing their IP over to their competitor that Boeing then worked with to make their robotic screwed on with all exactly the right tolerances device that they use. So the first robotics companies annoyed with Boeing and suing them for, well, money and prestige and naughtiness. Yeah, from what I understand, the lawsuit is asking for somewhere on the order of nine figures. So in excess of $100 million for that. I think how many Cosmic Dolls you could get for that. I was just thinking that $100 million sounds like a lot of dollars, but this is the space launch system that we're talking about. We actually got to get you six or seven bolts on it. Not even a whole rocket with it there. So yeah, holy, just come on, guys, get it together for goodness sake. I mean, aerospace is always a very interesting place because it always feels like we're very much on the knife edge of making sure that we don't want to step on each other's ideas and kind of work with other ways. But then there's also other certain things like landing legs and grid fins and autonomous drone ships or whatever we're calling them now out at sea that really it's just like physics dictates that this is really the only way you could do it. You can't reinvent the barge. No. There's no other way you can do it. You can't build a new barge that's not a barge because it's going to be a barge if it needs to be a barge. It's pretty much as unique as it gets. Turns out blunt bodies, good for reentry. So who does something that you're that the a general shape would be fantastic for reentry. Therefore, capsules end up often looking quite similar regardless of the company that's actually working on them or not. But yeah, I think bringing a whole bunch of people in and as it was mentioned in the lawsuit, I like how they termed the people that were there bogus Boeing employees with that. So yikes. So we're going to have to definitely keep our eyes on this one with that. So eyes and ears to the ground on that because that's man, that's just not cool. Oh, my goodness. This is amazing. Boeing even has counterfeit tools stuck on the international space station. Whoo. And then of course, Julian bring up probably one of the best points here, which is that the real issue is having a company give you a proprietary demo. And then later having that tech show up on a product that you delivered. And then in addition to that, Jay is saying that Bogan was not Bogan. That's a video company a little bit different. Boeing was similar back in 2006. So that'll help. Wilson's case, not Boeing's first rodeo on this. And yeah, yeah, Boeing. Yeah, Boeing does not this is not end of May, early June, maybe not Boeing's best time for them to be doing things. So, yeah, we're not even going to touch that one, Bennett. So, just doing your thing. I was going to say somebody in our chat room. Oh yeah, Apollo here saying, I like this comment here. And this is a good one to kind of segue a little bit, which is a virgin orbit copied Boeing for the launcher plane, you know, sarcastically throwing that out there. And we do have to report. I do want to report, at least the virgin orbit is now official as of this week, officially dead before it was just essentially the corpse in the shell of that and everything. And now this week it is to exist. It is no more. It has buggered off. That's it. No more virgin orbit. So if you have any virgin orbit here, now maybe the time to put it on eBay or I just got mine. I'm not putting it on eBay. Yeah. Look at you. How much did you buy? Uh-oh. I see a file. Dada. Dada. Nice shirt you got on there. What's it for? First stage hot fire back when we did that. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Back when there was, I mean, there still is technically hardware. I've got like, I've got like four weeks worth of shirts I can wear that are virgin orbit. Man, look at it. And those rockets are still, if I recall correctly, those rockets are still waiting to be bought. I haven't seen any updates on the IP and the rockets that are hanging around. So if anybody wants to put in a bid, if you want to put in a bid, the UK space agency is currently parading around the country with a model of launcher one trying to, you know, encourage kids to be in the aerospace industry if we just ignore the part the company doesn't exist anymore because they went bankrupt. You know, what if they bought an actual launcher one? That would be so much better. Yeah. Apollo is saying, didn't rocket lab buy one of Virgin Orbit's factories? They will. Yes, but they didn't buy the rockets that are sitting somewhere. I personally do not know where the rockets are at. But I know that they were not purchased. So they're somewhere. So I don't know. I figured maybe we could put in a bid if you guys want to pull some money together and we could buy them and just see if we can get it. I don't know. Call up Virgin and be like, hey, I got 50 bucks and a 20 piece McNuggets. You guys want to hand me over the rockets there a little bit? I've got a tenner in hard cash if they want it. I mean, I don't know if the currency will work. Hello? Hello? Oh, hey, Boeing, what's going on? Anyways, shouldn't make that joke on air. Not funny. Not funny. It's okay. They only wanted to buy the tooling. Anyways, Your cease and desist is in the mail. It's about to stay. Hey, we won't be just talking about the Boeing lawsuit. We'll be talking about ours. Yeah, good stuff. Dan is actually asking, where would you put it? Where would you put your rocket? I would put a launcher one on my front lawn. Yeah, I think it would have to be rotated into the vertical position. And I mean, it's the length of two buses. So it would be quite high, but I don't have space to put it horizontal, unfortunately. I don't know. Put it on top of the house. No, I'm going to put it out for it. My neighbors can deal with it. I'll put flowers around it or something. I don't know. I'll put some flowers coming out the back of it so it looks like it's fine. I don't know. Very sorry, but there is a rocket. So one rocket's dead, but another rocket is coming to life. And it happened this week. You all know what I'm talking about, right? I'm going to guess you're talking about the big rocket with the flame on the sides. Yeah. Eventually it had a flame underneath it, finally. Yeah, fire! Fire! I love it. And that would be Vulcan. Did anybody catch it, by the way? Anybody catch that live? I did. I was with my colleagues at NSF. Shameless plug bringing you live with our Space Coast live cameras. But more beautifully, I will look, because unfortunately where the cameras are positioned, we can only see the back half of the launch stand. We couldn't see the actual rocket. We could see the frost flying off and we could see the plume that came from the engines, but we could not see the rocket itself. But thanks to Vancouver and United Launch Alliance, we've got some fandabby-dosey images. These are just some spectacular images from the two BE4 engines. From what we're hearing from Tori, it was all a success. I mean, how can you not be excited about this? Look at that. Is that actual color? Or was that like in hand? Go back on that one. This is cargo. Yeah. Look at this. Gorgeous. Oh, my goodness. Look at that. And you've got the, I really love the contrast between, you've got the trophies, if they still call them that, which are there to burn off excess methane in this case. And then you've got the blue and the purples of the methane and the methyloxy rather. It just creates such a wonderful environment. And you can see kind of the progression. It's always a bit orangey-purpley. You can see you've got, in this photo, you've got lots and lots of trophies. And then it goes very orange as they start up. And then you get this beautiful, deep, bluey purple. It's just so, so beautiful. And, you know, I, I have to be honest, night launches are not my favorite. I do prefer day launches, but for this, this era of methyloxy rockets is really making me start so like the night launches because they really just amplify the blues and the purples. It's just such a unique color we haven't seen on a vehicle of this size before. That angle makes me think it's only just barely over expanded at sea level. Methylox Hot Fires is my favorite color. Oh, so pretty. Yeah, that's great. Echa in our chat room, noticing, noting, of course, chemistry is beautiful. Man, when you get the right kind of chemicals rolling through stuff, and you just get that oh, yeah, it just looks, looks so good there. And I'm very excited to see Vulcan finally happening because there was a tremendous this has been a really long time, right? We've been waiting almost a decade for Vulcan to finally be getting to go. I mean, honestly, it started in earnest in 2014. So I don't know how how many years to add on for the Blue Origin BE4 engines, you know, to be in my opinion, though, there was there was the whole Jeff, where's my engines, right? But I think once you really got the BE4s that they needed for this first flight, yes, they had a little bit of a hiccup with the with the ignitors not looking right when they went out for their for their wet dress and what not. But I feel like apart from that, it's kind of been smooth sailing since they got the BE4s. Obviously the delays before that have pushed Vulcan, but I feel like Vulcan itself has been doing really well apart from that ignitor issue, but they resolved it in like a week. So yeah, I feel like I feel like you are laying Vulcan have a good path ahead towards the towards the maiden flight. I mean, that's why you test too, right? Because you want to make sure that you got all the good stuff going on, right? Regardless of whether your test is wet dress rehearsal with a fire at the end of it or lobbying a full vehicle up and open for the best. So you test to make sure that you got it right. So and sometimes you get it right. Sometimes you don't. I mean, that's the nature of testing. So Vulcan Aerospace, right? I think they have a high chance of getting off the pad without destroying things. And the rest is just golden. Yeah, I was going to say we're starting to get a good record of vehicles leaving and working on their first try, but ultimately we'll have to see if that actually happens. I don't think Vulcan is going to be the first Methilox rocket to get to space. China has that Methilox rocket if I'm recalling correctly. Yeah, the Zuki 2 is on the pad according to satellite imagery. So it may just take it by a few weeks, but Vulcan doesn't actually seem that far away. And Vulcan, in my opinion, people are going to come back to this episode, but I'm going to say Vulcan is going to do it on the first time because they have a high profile mission on board. They have Astrobotic's Peregrine Lunar Ganda. So, you know, you don't really want to mess that one up. So I have high confidence in Vulcan. Yeah, and I'm sure Astrobotic also wants that to be a thing. Of course. Because I'm sure they want to be the first commercial lunar lander on the surface because the Hakuta are, you know, just a couple weeks ago crashed. The firing was two seconds long back then. I thought it was seven. I think it was multiple seven. Tori has been very... I'm very grateful for all of the different views Tori's been sharing. I know he's sharing. Here we go. This is the one from Yulei. Yeah, it was good. It was good. It was coming up. So... Yeah. So about seven seconds. And shut off there. So yeah, about seven seconds there. Yeah. Yeah. Good stuff there, man. I'm loving that. I'm loving this. This is just good. Like all these rockets coming online and things, but I'm also like, you know, relativity with their Terran 1. Trying to get that going. And Bennett saying it's nice to see you all moving instead of chilling with the Delta IV heavy for like six months. Because there are two more Delta IV heavies left. And I think we're a couple weeks away from the ultimate Delta IV heavy flight, aren't we? Yeah. This is an image of it being lifted into the like the integration thing, the VIF. The VIF building they have at. Vertical integration facility. That's the one. Slick 37B. This was a few months ago now. But yeah, this is certainly a site that we're all going to miss. I think it's the common booster core. I think it's just three of them together. You know, it's a rocket that was not certainly not designed in the modern age, but it's just such a beautiful design. Yeah. That's a fantastic vehicle. And I will miss the Delta IVs. So it is my third favorite rocket just because it lights itself on fire. So like, how can you not love a rocket that just lights itself on fire before it actually comes out? Yeah. I think it's just the Vulcans bringing that on symbolically with the frame up the side, though. Nice. That's good. That's good. I'm a big, big fan of rockets do that. And the horned rocket oddly aesthetic. So, yeah. It is a beautiful vehicle. And if you can go get a chance to see that one or the final one, which I believe is going to fly next year, that's it. It's your only chance. And two, they are incredible vehicles to see in flight. It's really difficult to understand just how mind-shattering it is to see a Delta IV heavy in flight. I imagine a Falcon heavy in flight is also the same because it's not a very rockety kind of shape, right? It's not what you would traditionally think of when it comes to flying. And I think the called the Delta IV heavy is a flying paintbrush. And having seen two in person myself, I feel like that is a very appropriate way of describing them. So, a lot of fire coming out the back of them, too. So, hydrolox is pretty big. Bennett reminding us, of course, we're just on a Star Wars kick tonight, apparently. I'm a Bennett saying it's a Y-Wing shape. But let me tell you, it is going. It gets going out of there pretty quick. And Jason reminding us, a Tory hasn't discarded a Vulcan heavy. So, a triple core Vulcan. I believe that they do have a Vulcan heavy in terms of like we're putting the maximum amount of solid rocket motors on it. But like a Vulcan heavy heavy heavy or maybe a Vulcan Vulcan Vulcan heavy with three Vulcan cores. We'll have to see how it goes. It would be a Vulcan Vulcan Vulcan heavy center five. Yeah. Yeah, it would. Oh my gosh. And then put a star 48 on top of that. Let's make it even more complicated while we're at it. So, by the way, I just want to point out that this is, I don't know if this is the first time we've ever seen BE4 engines firing with this much detail before. I can't recall really any footage or photos from Blue Origin before. I'm pretty sure that there probably is somewhere out there. I've seen horizontal stuff, but I don't think the coverage in this case is from NSF and from Blue Origin was finer detailed except we only got to see it was wearing its diapers. Ah, okay. Yeah. Don't see much. It's just another case of Jared Unincompoop. Gotcha. That's quite gross, but it's not firing. That's very close. Yeah. That's quite close. Oh, look, serial numbers. Tanks. Oh, firing. I mean, just look at that. That is just incredible. Oh. Those are the kinds of diamonds I like. Those are my favorite kinds of diamonds. Mock diamonds. Delicious. Mock diamonds. I bet they taste pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. And let's remind ourselves. A little while ago, a little while ago, asking was it two seconds at full power? If I recall correctly, the two BE-4s in actually get to full power, they got to about 60% because, you know, don't want to shred the pad up. They'll be getting to high percentages during the flight, but during a static fire where you're not moving, you do need to limit your engines so you don't destroy your pad infrastructure. Don't want to shred the pad. I wonder, that seems like a hard lesson to learn. Yeah. Anyways, I just want to remind everybody that when New Glenn flies, there are going to be seven of those BE-4s on it. So if you like two, where do you get five more? It's going to be great. I'm really looking forward to Vulcan's flight and also New Glenn's eventual flight, whatever that finally happens. I'm just glad that we're getting a Methilox rocket, right? Because Relativity Space did their tear in one flight and they were just like, oh, we're happy with the fact that it only made it this far. So let's just skip straight ahead to Terran R. Yeah. We'll see how that works out. I personally don't see a lot of it. Roll the dice. Good. I don't see, yeah, I basically see that's definitely putting it all down on seven at the crops table, if you will. Ekka very good with the mock diamonds are lovely. They absolutely are. I wish I could wear some mock diamonds, but that would hurt. It would be very burning. It wouldn't be very well. So we'll have to take, yeah, we'll have to take a look at that. Definitely work. Speaking of looking at things, Ryan, you had something before the show that you kind of popped up in front of all of us. I want to look at it now on air because it's a really cool thing. It's something that just came out, too, if I'm recalling correctly. If you just stop the time for three minutes so I can put behind the camera and pick it up. Yeah, I can stop the time for three minutes. So I'm by everybody. Many of us here at tomorrow are noted Lego enthusiasts. We are the kind of people who Lego will put out some sort of new thing and we will line up and camp out overnight at a Lego store. I actually know we're not going to camp out overnight at a Lego store, but it's fascinating to me that Lego always likes to go to the space stuff, right? So we've got Saturn 5, which I have a Saturn 5 at home. Actually, I also have Discovery disco as well. I'm waiting to get built. But would you look at that? I will just note it is very unfinished. I still need to do another set of bags, but the main chassis is done. Yeah, that's the whole point. Don't worry, it took JPL a while to build it too, so you're fine. I don't have a high bay. I know you don't. You're also not in a class 10,000 clean room, sir. I washed my hands. It's fine. Yeah, by the way, do you have plutonium in that that radio isotope thermoelectric generator? I have. It's an incredible new fuel that they've just discovered. It's very efficient. It's called plastic. I just kind of clipped it in there. It does the job just fine. You joke about plastic, but I bet there's a hybrid rocket motor out there that if you run the right kind of oxidizer through it, you could use plastic as the fuel. Joke's on you, Ryan. The attention to detail here is just great. I've got the steering mech working. That's the only mech I've managed to get done so far. I have a little steery thing up here. So I twist it, right? You steer left, you steer right, like you would. But you know, Percy doesn't just go left to right. Percy spins in circles. And when you flick it back, Percy goes into spinny circle mode, which is brilliant. And the whole suspension is modelled as accurately as you can. So it's just... I'm not done building it yet. It'll be done by the next show, hopefully. But it's a very impressive model and I'm very impressed so far that I could build it so well. Yeah, you're doing great on it. It looks fantastic. I will try to get my hands on my own version, my own set with it soon enough. I think you have to wait a little bit longer for it to come out in the United States, though. This came out June... August 1st. No, I'm not waiting till August 1st. That's when you're ready to get... Well, you should do because apparently I told me that they have a Lego store and it's purchased now, so you just fly Gatwick, fly straight back. You pick yourself up at Percy and you get to experience London's greatest airfield. You just have to plan to miss your flight on the way home. Yeah, I was going to say, I might miss my flight and also I'm wondering if... Don't check your bags. I was going to say, if I put Percy in my check luggage, it would actually show up back in LA. It doesn't sound like it will. You have to take it in your cabin baggage because the Lego store is post security screening. Oh, okay. So I'm going to totally be that guy who buys a massive Lego set and that's my carry-on. And smack everybody in the head with it as you walk down the aisle. Jam it into the overhead locker. Yes, yes. How long is the flight from Gatwick to LA? Excuse me, how long is the flight from Gatwick to Station 204? About 10 and a half hours. Okay, I'm going to be that guy who takes in the massive Lego kit, smacks everybody in the head while getting on and then as soon as we reach 10,000 feet when they see you can move about the cabin, I'm just going to get up, open it and start building it right on the plane right there. You could build two of them. Nice, nice. I will give that a shot. Crimson Gray says $469 US dollars on eBay. I think I'll wait till August 1st for some reason. Suddenly I felt like maybe I want to wait till August 1st. So, yeah. I'm a big fan of what Lego does for their space stuff. It's pretty incredible. I want to actually ask our viewers, what would be your ideal Lego space kit? What do you think would be a cool thing for Lego space? What about you, Dutta? What would you have for a Lego space kit? So, I have the discovery as well. I have actually have two of them. There's a community online that allows people to collaborate and share modifications or mocks as they call them, my own creations and somebody has taken that discovery kit and turned it into Columbia. So, I would start with that and somebody else made an external tank and Solid Rocket booster set for it and somebody else made a mobile launch platform. So, group all of that together and you have a mobile launch platform upon which you can stack the boosters in the external tank and then put Columbia on the back of it. Okay, I like that. So, would you get LC-39 to go with it? No, I don't have that much space. Are you sure? Are you sure? Pretty in the garden. I wish I could. I wish I could. I don't have that much space. I would put it on a slick sick. If it were me. If I had to choose a pad, I would use the slick sick shuttle edition. So, that would be sick. Maybe I'll build that. I've been doing Lego CAD work for one of my jobs. So, maybe I'll figure out how to make slick sticks out of Lego. That would be really, really cool. Dolly, what about you? I would love to be able to build things out of Lego that I can build out of Kerbal. I want the Kerbal parts that I can snap together and take whatever my favorite Kerbal creations that are made of stock parts and build those up and hang them by strings in my space. All right. Really, really cool. And then, Ryan, I think me and you, we should definitely talk about ours in the after show. So, that way, if folks want something, we can have another nice little Lego discussion happening in there because we see a lot of our folks in our chat room are talking about it. A headcrab saying Voyager, perhaps. Grubby, J-Dub. With that, also, Raul Santos saying the space probes pull set. So, that sounds like a cool one, I guess, if you're going to make it really, really expensive. With their middle pyro saying Falcon Heavy. Who doesn't want a Falcon Heavy? You, too, can have your own Falcon Heavy for the mere price of $100 million. That would be fun. You just have to re-bookage the house a few times. You know, risk it all. Why not? It's perfectly reasonable if you ask us. Oh, James Moore. I like that one, the Lunar Rover. So, very, very cool. And we just need the Rover. That's true. We do have a line. Bennett was saying a Firefly for all mankind crossover. So, that's an interesting one. Also, I noticed that because Secchi also said Serenity, the ship from Firefly. Lots of Firefly, man. A scale model of the solar system that could fit in this box because it fits on a standard sports field. Yes. I don't know how that's going to work out, Dolly. It would be too small. You'd lose it. These little tees sticking up with a thing on a pin. Yeah, don't walk on them. That would hurt. That hurt really, really badly. So, we'll get more into that in our after-show. And by the way, if you become a member, you can go to youtube.com. You can become a member right now and you'll be able to get into the after-show right now. It's as little as non-to-nonsense. That's it. The answer is going to be ready in two weeks. Or maybe six months with that there. Pamelax saying Heart of Gold. And then also, Vaccate Sea Dragon. Oh, I guess we're jumping into our members. Thank you all so much for your help. Being our members, you are the ones that help make this show possible. And each and every one of you is pretty awesome, I gotta say. Those are suborbital members. Wait, hold on. We were ground support. Then we went orbital. So we launched and now we're suborbital. So I guess we fired our engines in order to slow down into the atmosphere. But just kidding, we did a skip re-entry. We fired our engines again. Now we are at escape velocity to head on out of the pool. And then, of course, we want to thank Neurostream, who is our tomorrow model 33 plaid pro plus edition tomorrow member. Neurostream, thank you so much. It is a huge help to all of us at tomorrow to make all of this possible. Of course, you, the viewers, you also help out as well by liking, by subscribing to us, by commenting below and throw down your comments down there. We had a lot to talk about this week, didn't we? We jumped on the AeroSpike bandwagon. We talked a little bit about DCX and other things. Talked some more about Boeing, getting in trouble. More Vulcan, lighting up. Who loves Methilox? Everybody loves Methilox. Methilox. It's so hot right now. Virgin orbit officially dying. Legos. We talked about Legos. Who doesn't love Legos? It all works out. So, well, we got plenty more to talk about in our after show for our members. So, thank you all so much for joining us for this edition of Tomorrow on June 9th, 2023. I'm going to be here next week. Ryan, Dolly, Dada, let's say you all. Shall we be here next week? I'm always there. Yeah. I'm green for next week. Try not to be too excited, everybody. Just one at a time. One at a time, please. One at a time. I may be here. I'm not sure. Okay. And I will definitely be here for that. But I won't be here. I'll be remote. Okay. That's fine. Dada, if you're not here, then I can push buttons and make mistakes as I always do in front of everybody. Why? So, thank you all so much for joining us for this edition of Tomorrow. Time for our members only show. We'll catch you in a little bit. Bye-bye, everybody. I might be naive.
