    Tick, Tick, Boom: SpaceX launches Starship

    enApril 21, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Partnerships with institutions and SpaceX's Starship launchPartnering with institutions can provide valuable resources and solutions for businesses. SpaceX's Starship launch showcases the power of modern technology and the importance of staying resilient in the face of challenges.

      Partnerships with institutions like Bank of America can provide businesses with powerful digital tools, insights, and solutions to help them succeed. Meanwhile, in the world of science and technology, the launch of SpaceX's Starship was a nail-biting event. Despite initial setbacks, the massive booster, with its impressive 5,000 tons of spacecraft and 33 powerful rocket engines, finally lifted off, leaving onlookers in awe. The Starship's launch marked a significant milestone in space exploration, demonstrating the incredible potential of modern technology. For businesses, the lesson is to stay resilient and keep pushing forward, while for space enthusiasts, it's a reminder of the limitless possibilities that lie beyond our reach.

    • SpaceX's Starship launch: A learning experienceDespite an explosion during a Starship test launch, SpaceX views it as a valuable learning experience towards making the reusable rocket system a reality, reducing costs and revolutionizing the industry.

      SpaceX's Starship launch ended in an explosion, but it's not a complete failure as it provided valuable insights for future attempts. The rocket was tumbling due to a problem with stage separation, and it's unclear if the issue occurred before, during, or after the separation. The explosion was likely the flight termination system doing its job to prevent further damage. Although it didn't reach orbit, it's not a failure because SpaceX aims to learn from these tests. The ultimate goal is to make the Starship system reusable like an airliner, which would significantly reduce costs. The Super Heavy booster and Starship are larger than previous rockets, but their reusability is the game-changer. SpaceX has already reused the first stage of its Falcon 9 rockets and fairings, but reusing the entire system would revolutionize the industry. Despite the setback, SpaceX remains committed to achieving this goal.

    • SpaceX's Starship: A cost-effective and sustainable approach to space travelSpaceX's Starship, a reusable rocket, offers cost savings and sustainability, but launch failures can be detrimental, especially for companies with limited resources. NASA's moon missions depend on SpaceX's success.

      While launching reusable rockets comes with its own challenges and costs, it's a more cost-effective and sustainable approach compared to the old way of launching disposable rockets. However, a launch failure can be detrimental for a space company, especially for those with limited resources. SpaceX, being a well-capitalized company, can afford to continue developing and launching their Starships. Their next launch is expected to be for Earth orbit test flights, and once they prove their capability to refuel the Starship second stage in orbit, they will provide landing services for NASA's moon missions. Americans will not return to the moon until SpaceX's Starship is proven to work. NASA aims to go back to the moon in 2025 or 2026, but it's likely to be delayed. SpaceX's collaboration with NASA is crucial for both organizations in achieving their space exploration goals.

    • SpaceX's Starship and Mars colonization, Navalny's persecution in RussiaElon Musk's SpaceX is developing Starship for Mars colonization, while opposition leader Alexei Navalny faces harsh persecution in Russia, including possible poisoning and imprisonment.

      Elon Musk's SpaceX is pushing the boundaries of space travel with the development of Starship, aiming to make Mars colonization a reality, despite concerns about its suitability for the task. Meanwhile, in Russia, opposition leader Alexei Navalny continues to face persecution, currently serving an 11.5-year sentence and reportedly enduring harsh conditions, including possible poisoning, in a punishment cell. Vladimir Putin's regime continues to suppress dissent and the free press, with recent examples including the detention and persecution of journalists like Evan Gershkovitch and the ongoing imprisonment of Navalny.

    • Using Publicity to Counter Putin's RegimePublicity is a powerful weapon against dictators like Putin. Activists like Navalny and Acemant resist despite risks, inspiring others. International community can help raise awareness and apply pressure.

      Publicity is a powerful tool against dictators, including Russia's President Putin, who is currently targeting opposition leader Alexei Navalny with new extremism and terrorism charges that could result in a 35-year prison sentence. Putin thrives on secrecy and legitimacy among the Russian people, making attention and exposure crucial. Despite the risks, resistance against Putin's regime continues through human rights activists like Maria Acemant, who defends political dissidents like Vladimir Karamorza. The ongoing war in Ukraine and Putin's willingness to use lethal force against his own people make speaking out even more challenging. However, individuals like Navalny and Acemant continue to resist, keeping faith in their cause and inspiring others to do the same. The international community can help by raising awareness and applying pressure on the Russian government.

    • The power of perseverance and hope in Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and fashion designer Mary Quant's storiesRussian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and fashion designer Mary Quant's stories demonstrate the power of perseverance and hope in bringing about change and inspiring progress

      The spirit and faith of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, as well as his belief in historical progress and moral superiority, are crucial for the future of Russia and global peace. Meanwhile, looking back at history, we can draw inspiration from the story of fashion designer Mary Quant, who revolutionized the fashion industry in the 1960s by making clothes that empowered women and made them feel modern. Navalny's resilience and the potential impact of his influence on Russian politics are explored in the final episode of The Economist's podcast series, "Next Year in Moscow." In the past, individuals like Mary Quant have used their creativity and determination to bring about change, and Navalny's story serves as a reminder of the power of perseverance and hope in the face of adversity.

    • Mary Quant: Anticipating societal changes and empowering individuals through fashionMary Quant, a fashion pioneer, anticipated societal changes and empowered individuals through her bold designs, setting trends for the working class and giving them a voice in the fashion world.

      Mary Quant, the fashion pioneer who recently passed away at the age of 93, saw fashion as a powerful tool for anticipating societal changes and empowering individuals. From a young age, she was drawn to fashion and expressed her creativity through making her own clothes. Despite her shyness, she opened a shop that set trends and predicted the styles of the 1960s, which was a time of societal upheaval and emergence from post-war austerity. Her bold designs, including short, sleek, and simple clothes, liberated women and allowed them to move freely and participate in the workforce. Quant's impact on fashion extended beyond the rich international couture scene, as she set the pace for the young working girl and gave her a voice in the fashion world. Her legacy continues to inspire and empower individuals to express themselves and anticipate societal changes through fashion.

    1. 1968 - Born to be wild

    The generation born in the 1940s grew up in a land of endless growth and possibility, ruled by a confident, moderate elite. But just as they were embarking on adult life, all that started to come apart. The economy faltered, and the post-war consensus came under pressure from two sides: from the radical right, who hated government moves on civil rights  – and from the ‘New Left’, as boomers rebelled against their parents' generation and its war in Vietnam.

    Why are two old, unpopular men the main candidates for the world’s most demanding job? It’s the question John Prideaux, The Economist’s US editor, gets asked the most. And the answer lies in the peculiar politics of the baby boomers. 


    Since 1992, every American president bar one has been a white man born in the 1940s. That run looks likely to span 36 years - not far off the age of the median American. This cohort was born with aces in their pockets. Their parents defeated Nazism and won the cold war. They hit the jobs market at an unmatched period of wealth creation. They have benefitted from giant leaps in technology, and in racial and gender equality. 


    And yet, their last act in politics sees the two main parties accusing each other of wrecking American democracy. As the boomers near the end of their political journey, John Prideaux sets out to make sense of their inheritance and their legacy.

    Rule and divide: Donald Trump is judged immune

    Rule and divide: Donald Trump is judged immune

    The US Supreme Court has granted the former President immunity from prosecution for official acts committed while in office. We ask what that means for future Presidents and the 2024 American election. Humanity is standing by while sea levels rise. Now scientists want to geo-engineer polar ice to stem the flow (10:45). And why a hot sauce beloved by many suddenly disappeared from our shelves (19:45).

    Bet noir: Macron’s electoral gamble backfires

    Marine Le Pen’s far-right party made great gains in the first round of France’s parliamentary election. The left did too. We ask what this means for France and President Emmanuel Macron. Thailand will soon legalise same-sex marriage, but in other areas, democratic freedoms are being threatened (10:20). And penalty shoot-outs are agony for players, coaches and spectators. Can technology help (16:20)?

    The Weekend Intelligence: The state of Britain

    The Weekend Intelligence: The state of Britain

    On July 4th Britain will have a general election, one in which is widely expected to result in dramatic losses for the ruling Conservative party. If so, it would bring to an end 14 years of Tory rule. It’s been a turbulent period; the twin catastrophes of Brexit and Covid, set to the grinding and gloomy mood music of the 2008 financial crash. The Economist’s Andy Miller travels up and down the country, to the towns and cities shaped by these events, to get a sense of how Britain is feeling.

    Debate and switch? Biden’s stumble

    Debate and switch? Biden’s stumble

    America’s president had one primary task at last night’s debate: to close down speculation about his mental faculties. It went so poorly his whole campaign is now in doubt. Tentative results from a newish instrument give tantalising hints that the leading theory on the universe’s makeup might need reworking entirely (10:20). And bullfighting moves from literal arenas to the political arena (18:40).
