I'm John Batchler. Behind the black, Bob Zimmerman is here because there's a very

critical starship launch coming.

I don't know that it's everything, but it's certainly the most important thing that we've seen so far.

The experiments of tiles and launched patterns and whether you're going to land in the ocean or on a barge, all behind us now.

The 12 starship with the super heavy on top must work if we're to say to any rational schedule.

And also, there have been so many failures.

I'm lost.

Bob, a very good evening to you.

What needs to happen on this launch?

Well, first of all, John, there haven't

been any failures. I must make that point. They have had launches with the super heavy

starship that exploded unexpectedly. They've had launches that didn't go exactly as planned.

But since they're all developmental engineering tests, nothing is a failure.

Everything is learning what you need to learn to make it better.

So when something goes wrong, it's actually a good thing because you found out you didn't

design something right.

There have no been failures.

A failure is like a new glen launching by Blue Origin that's supposed to put a satellite

into orbit and it fails to do so

when it's supposedly operational. That's a failure. This is not a fair. None of these are

failures. I want to make this clear. Developmental testing, you don't get failures. You're learning

how to do things. So they've done 11 test flights up to now with their versions one and two of Super Heavy on Starship.
