| 0:00.0 | At TFL, we're making journeys safer for everyone, and that includes improving safety on London's roads. |
| 0:07.4 | That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour, |
| 0:12.3 | because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or |
| 0:16.8 | serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone. |
| 0:24.8 | Such TFL improvement plan to the Mayor of London and TFL every journey matters. |
| 0:35.1 | This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Batch, from Bob Zimmerman. He keeps the website behind the |
| 0:39.5 | black, and we go immediately with Bob to Boca Chica, Texas, and super heavy, preparing for the |
| 0:45.7 | next launch of Starship, the rebuilt launch pad, the water system, all of this to be explicated. |
| 0:53.8 | Bob, a very good evening to you. I watched the video, and it lasted about two and a half |
| 0:58.1 | seconds. The engines fired, the water sprayed, and then shut down. What did I see, Bob? Good evening to you. |
| 1:05.1 | Good evening, John. SpaceX, as usual, don't like to sit on a tent, even as it's being blocked by |
| 1:10.8 | the federal government and the FAA with regulatory paperwork and silliness. They move forward, and so |
| 1:18.0 | they conducted the first static fire test of super heavy on its new launch pad with the water |
| 1:25.4 | day loose system that's designed to protect the launch pad during the launch. The water |
| 1:31.4 | flows out, this is not unusual, and is used to put down on the vibrations and the acoustical shock |
| 1:38.4 | to the pad. They tested the day loose system better a week ago, and then this week they decided |
| 1:45.9 | let's do a static fire test of super heavy with the water system to see if doing a countdown, |
| 1:54.1 | and then activating the water system, and then firing the engines of everything would work, |
| 1:57.7 | and they were planning to do a five-second static fire test using all 33 Raptor engines. |
| 2:04.8 | The test, as you saw, the water system turned on, the engines fired. Four engines then shut down |
| 2:10.9 | very early, and then all the engines shut down after 2.74 seconds, about half the length of what was |
| 2:17.5 | planned. So, that indicates there's still kinks in the system, that's not a surprise, |
