For people asking about suits. They don't need suits inside. We used a suit model because a real-face astronaut model can look weird / uncanny and we thought it might distract from the point of the video. The main purpose of the model is to show the size of the Starship. If you have any ideas or suggestions, write them in the comments and we may take them into account if we make an updated video.

[@monchocastillamontes1640]

I loved it, however, I think that at least 5 or 6 toilets would be needed. Also, I believe that there should be water in the walls all over the ship (maybe 3 or 5 centimetres are enough), during the trip, a continious protection against radiation would be needed, though you may keep the shelter for extreme situations. The rest is all awesome, I think that you found a great balance between comfort and efficiency. All those people who say that colonisation missions will not bring more than 15 or 20 astronauts actually forget that you are not going to be in a cruise ship having vacations

[@Ghuyajil]

@@monchocastillamontes1640 that is only true for the first few hundred people maybe, but if you want to bring a million people they are going to be regular people needing a bit more space. I'm running different simulations on different numbers of people in there, it will be a VR application - hopefully done in a few months

[@generalcodsworth4417]

@@monchocastillamontes1640 , putting the water everywhere would require quite a lot of added weight for the tank to be able to survive takeoff, not to mention that it may develop holes in protection if water is not recycled efficiently enough. If the sleeping bags are made to protect from radiation, that would give passengers the best protection for about a third of the time they spend on board. Then, clothes for while in 0G may also be designed to protect crew. All of this for all passengers would be quite heavy, but protecting just the crew instead of the whole interior may be the best option. And of course, the belly of the ship, which has the double layer of steel for the evaporative heat shield could be pointed toward the sun during transit to provide better protection from solar radiation, but not cosmic radiation from the other direction. Plus pointing the window at the sun may blind people in the hallway just trying to come back from the toilet

[@monchocastillamontes1640]

@@generalcodsworth4417 All those things are possible options, but the thing is that everyone is basing their suggestions in the iss tech, and the iss is completly inside the magnetosphere. It is true that it is a good start because the iss gets way more radiation than people on earth, but it isnt the same thing at all

But it's bad technical design. If you have only one connection tunnel, then one particle that hits through the hull is enough, and as a result you can no more get from the rooms at the top to the rooms at the bottom. A connection tunnel is also a waste of space that could be better used. In my option, every tubical section needs 3 connections to the next neighbour section. That way you can seal of individual places and you will still be able to get from the top to the bottom.

[@Tron-Jockey]

Great video although I disagree with the sleeping section. The sleeping section should be an opportunity for astronauts to experience at least a little artificial gravity each 24 hour cycle. I feel that section should be spinning similar to those anti-gravity amusement park rides albeit spinning much slower. The astronauts would be lying flat against the outer hull of the spinning section (keeping their feet at essentially the same spin radius as their heads to reduce or eliminate the Coriolis Effect). It would be just for sleeping and it may not need to provide a full 1G of gravity to significantly reduce the astronauts physical deterioration due to weightlessness. Astronauts may need only spend 8 to 10 hours there out of every 24 hour cycle. Duration of daily experience to G-force as well as the amount of G-force are variables we'll need to determine but I think it can be done within the 30 foot hull diameter (as opposed to an elaborate mechanism to extend and spin living pods beyond the existing hull diameter).

After seeing all the crap for the last 4 years in the US and doing some research I have come to the conclusion that political parties are for the ignorant(not trying to be mean) When one truly looks at what the majority want it is pretty simple. A good education, healthcare, and a means to make a living or feel fulfilled through your work, a roof over your head and to in most cases to have a family. Everything else is power and money related which political parties fuel in order to get your votes so they can basically rip you off from your taxes that you pay.

Watching this makes you realize how many things you didn’t think of. This is awesome. Why aren’t the sleepers radiation shielded be default? This could already be the radiation shelter

[@jebediahkerman8245]

That was one of my thoughts. Solar storms can last days, and since people sleep and goof off playing video games and watching KZbin for a large portion of their day, it would make sense to have the sleep cabins also double as the radiation shelter. A short trip to the non-radiation-shielded bathroom, kitchen, or observation area wouldn't be immediately harmful. Just don't spend too much time there before you head back to the radiation shelter.

[@hsc894]

@@jebediahkerman8245 Imagine this:The starship is being bombarded by a solar storm during your 6-month trip to Mars, and then you're just hanging out watching KZbin videos sipping warm tea from a pouch, all in the comfort of your sleeping bunk, in zero gravity.

[@ollllj]

This thing is meant to land upright, so the denser parts must be placed closer to the bottom. Radiation shields add mass to a spaceship, and you must keep mass down for many reasons. The best shielded area of a spaceship/station is usually near a life-support system, usually near the center of the spaceship, because water. food Storage and batteries have more mass than the hull of the spaceship, but placed at the bottom of this one, as it lands upright, and you want life support punps close to airlocks, close to the ground. sleeping rooms have medium mass, so you put them just above. and above that you have exercise equipment, and above that you have larger emptier common rooms.

[@johndododoe1411]

@@ollllj Think like a transatlantic passenger ship. Most of the volume is passenger cabins, not dining halls.

[@awakeneddio6012]

I doubt that this think could be used to transport 50 people to Mars. 6 months, or 180 days. That is 150 rations of food per day or 27,000 rations.You would also need roughly 100 liters of drinking water per day or 18 tons of drinking water . This is a problem since we are unable to recycle 100% of the waste products, meaning we would either have to store or drop off most of the toilet water after a certain amount of time, as it would be impossible to purify too many times. I also have to point out the excessive amount of windows on that thing. The are essentially a bunch of structual weak points added to a rocket, something that has to entire a lot of stress during take off and landing.

[@kevshouse]

The radiation problem is a big one. Unfortunately, most of it is from cosmic rays which come from all directions. We will need more than a water curtain to sort that out.

[@goatofpower]

Apparently, radiation is not that big a deal. If you go fast (3 months) it's a modest increase in lifetime increase. Solar flares, yes, but for that you have to have very heavy shielding so a small heavily shielded space is the only practical thing.

Adding a water curtain would just mean the ship won't actually be able to take off. It would weigh too much. Just another reason this thing will never happen.

COOL Starship SPACEX SPIRIT👏👏👏

[@sherrilynnevonch4036]

I could live on there.

[@j.f.almeida9081]

Are you keen to go to mars?

[@WhiteJarrah]

2:34 You call that a radiation shelter?! You're supposed to have the walls, ceiling and floors lined with several meters of water or just build the propellant tanks around a small cabin. And why would have WINDOWS in such a cabin? You can't shield only one side of the spacecraft. Solar flares and cosmic rays are not direction, they arrive in isotropic distribution. You need to shield all sides.

[@Masada1911]

Really cool. Well done

[@roman321]

This is so beautiful! Terrible that I just found this channel. I subscribed as your work is great!!

[@AstronomicalYT]

I wish I could do anything as well as you make animations

[@jesusmora9379]

i don't think there will be an unpressurized space, the whole starship has to be pressurized to give the structure strength. the only unpressurized part is the engine skirt and the airlock, but the airlock will remain pressurized while not used.

[@timothygooding9544]

There has also been a concept for a 1/3 habitable and 2/3 unpressurized storage configuration (for fuel production and prefab base building) you can have strength either by pressure or by stringers (metal bars) like whats used now in the nosecones, the fuel tanks are far more pressurized than 1atm, so that method wouldn't be too good compared to normal stringers. plus, extra air filling unused space is extra weight, and so is the weight of the walls that will have to take that increased pressure & insulate if air is there.

[@timothygooding9544]

@@jesusmora9379 yes but its either the entire volume of the interior or thin bars, which would also be less than the thicker walls that would be needed to contain a pressurized space

[@Pfirsichaffe]

Awesome work mate!

[@mac2105]

Spectacular contribution, this feels like it might actually work...

[@niklovell]

This is very well put together although there is no way a manned version wouldn't have a cockpit / bridge.

[@anguscovoflyer95]

what about the oxygen header tank in the nosecone?

[@lucasbriesemeister9770]

it's there, kind dark because the main focus is the viewing gallery

[@jacobcharleszimmerman7934]

You can see it better during the radiation shelter part.

[@seascapewa]

The LOX header tank is in the nose cone on the prototype to balance out the load. Once the internal facilities are installed, the tank can be put elsewhere.

[@fabioo9459]

Awesome video

[@LEVICE_Lucas]

Wooow Amazing , great job👍very nice animation thanks you

[@oamost]

This concept if implemented could transport at least 50 people to Mars, and that's where we would become multi-planetary species.

[@tonywells6990]

After landing they even have a few minutes to escape before it explodes!

[@oamost]

@@tonywells6990 haha no

[@bearly1727]

But the starship is designed for 100 people isn't it?

[@danblackman9506]

Imagine having to live on this with so many people for 8 months

[@vrass775]

@JZ's Best Friend Because if we want to build a Martian colony that eventually is just as nice as here on Earth somebody has to go and lay the groundwork for it... although its more likely robots will be sent long before humans to build the colony so its there waiting for us. Once we get the initial base set up then it can eventually grow into a city like the one's seen in Sci-Fi.

[@benrobinson5839]

The best video of the inside of starship yet. I think about this way too much.

[@N0Xa880iUL]

Thank you for making this

[@iamarokotmanson]

If this is for Mars transfer, 50 person crew isn't possible due to volume constraints. 40 max, 35 more favourable.

[@AirCommandRockets]

Realistically it will be closer to 10 or 12.

[@lancelikessause]

Depends on your will to push the crew to there limits

[@Rauruatreides]

@@AirCommandRockets that would kind of defeat the purpose of this huge ship, won't it? It is supposed to be a colonial transporter, so building such a huge space ship for only a small group of people would be pointless, so they would build it bigger. They'll likely find a way to get a decent amount worth more of people. Also, while 100 is definitely a stretch, I don't see how 50 couldn't be done.

[@realLuisGiordano]

@@Rauruatreides realistically, you can't put 50 people on Starship for a full 3-month trip, with all the supplies and LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS (LSS) required to sustain them. Not even a spacecraft the size of the international Space Station has a LSS (ECLSS) capable of supporting more than 8 crewmen without external assistance such as the Space Shuttle orbiter with it's own LSS.

[@cacogenicist]

@@Rauruatreides - If at some point they really get into the business of transporting colonists en masse, they'll do it with the 12 -18 meter, 2.0 vehicle. This is more the scaled-down, economically plausible, all-purpose workhorse. I suspect Starship 1.0 will transport _crews_ to Mars, rather than Joe-Schmoe passengers -- probably not more than 20 at a time, I wouldn't think.

[@dcawkwell]

I think quite a bit of the nose cone is already taken up with header tank and in practice I think Elon will opt for far fewer windows if any. Views of the outside been provided with camera and screens inside. I expect conditions to be far more cramped.

[@benjaminringrose536]

Someone had to say it. Thank you.
