Valuetainment - “Exploded Like A NUKE!” - Blue Origin’s $1 Billion Rocket OBLITERATED

00:00:00.000 Connor said that, you know, yesterday was a bad day for going to space,

00:00:04.220 but it was a good day for explosions.

00:00:06.620 Bezos is doing his thing with Blue Origin.

00:00:11.240 And so everybody's watching this clip.

00:00:12.960 And I thought it's, you know, after the time nowadays,

00:00:14.760 when you see stuff when you're scrolling, like,

00:00:16.500 why is this clip showing up everywhere?

00:00:18.340 It's just AI.

00:00:19.380 But, no, this is what happened yesterday. 0.62

00:00:21.680 This is the Blue Origin. 1.00

00:00:22.720 Look at this explosion. 1.00

00:00:24.020 Oh, my God.

00:00:25.920 It is good to look.

00:00:26.660 It's so awesome to look at, though, Pat.

00:00:28.080 Come on.

00:00:29.060 Wow, that so messes up this carbon footprint.

00:00:31.180 Well, we're breathing all that, by the way.

00:00:33.120 No matter how far you are, like if you're looking, you felt that.

00:00:37.480 Oh, yeah.

00:00:37.840 You felt that.

00:00:38.560 Okay, so go to this with Jeff Bezos.

00:00:42.940 Jeff Bezos tweeted about it if you want to go to it.

00:00:45.780 Jeff Bezos, he's been on Trending Stories the last week quite a lot,

00:00:49.820 but he tweeted about it to give an update.

00:00:54.500 This says, go a little bit lower.

00:00:56.240 All personnel are accounted for and safe.

00:00:58.200 I love the first name.

00:00:59.040 It's too early to know the root cause, but we're already working to find it.

00:01:02.480 Very rough day.

00:01:03.780 But we'll rebuild whatever needs to rebuilding and get back to flying.

00:01:08.820 It's worth it.

00:01:09.400 Do me a favor.

00:01:09.900 Open it up.

00:01:10.800 There you go.

00:01:11.980 And look who comments at the top.

00:01:13.660 Okay?

00:01:13.940 Look who comments at the top.

00:01:15.580 Al astra per aspera.

00:01:17.500 What does that mean?

00:01:18.480 Well, Rob's Twitter is Latin because Rob likes it Latin.

00:01:23.280 So through hardships to the stars.

00:01:26.120 That's amazing.

00:01:27.000 I love.

00:01:27.760 Yeah. I love that instead of taking that opportunity to, you know, call him out or do any of that stuff, he gives him a compliment.

00:01:36.200 And, you know, I said to him, you guys will figure it out. All the best.

00:01:39.020 And it was it was interesting. It's a very different, difficult business to get into.

00:01:44.780 Tom, when you see the explosion and what happened, what what stories do you know about it?

00:01:49.120 What facts do you have about what happened there? Well, you know what?

00:01:51.720 It's a test firing.

00:01:53.080 And if you go back in time and you'll find the Apollo mission, there were test firings on the launch pad.

00:01:59.380 Not Apollo, but with the early space program.

00:02:02.140 We had missiles and then we put, you know, a chimpanzee into space.

00:02:06.620 Then we had Mercury, Gemini, Apollo.

00:02:08.720 We went in order.

00:02:09.860 That's exactly what Elon Musk went through.

00:02:11.740 And Elon Musk has had test firings.

00:02:13.880 He's had a rocket that launched a short distance.

00:02:16.380 And he goes, guess what?

00:02:17.620 One of the perfect things he said was one of his first—Elon has tweeted a couple things on this.

00:02:23.680 All of them are understanding and compassionate about the entrepreneur.

00:02:28.100 It was a test firing that went badly.

00:02:30.980 And you know what?

00:02:32.080 I love Bezos' first comment.

00:02:33.900 All people are accounted for and safe.

00:02:36.000 In other words, all the scientists, everybody, we're way over here.

00:02:39.340 Kaboom.

00:02:40.060 Whoops.

00:02:40.600 All right.

00:02:41.120 Well, let's go back and let's—once the fire goes out, let's see if we can figure out in the wreckage of, you know, what went wrong.

00:02:47.620 and get it but every space program has this every has it this is this is trial and error

00:02:53.840 you think a b testing on social media ads how big it is in a plane that's 50 miles away stop it

00:03:01.280 five zero miles imagine you're on a plane you're like oh my god it's the end of the world and you

00:03:06.100 don't know what the hell's going on it's a nuke no pat pat think about it go do it again rob yeah

00:03:10.820 go go back all again from from the top could you imagine you're coming in for landing everybody uh 0.54

00:03:16.580 Welcome to the left.

00:03:17.420 Oh, look to the left.

00:03:18.460 And, oh, my God, that's a nuclear weapon.

00:03:21.680 Go back to the other one.

00:03:22.700 I've told the one that I sent you.

00:03:23.580 Pat, could you imagine, guys, before you play it, you're at a bar, you're drinking,

00:03:26.760 you have no idea that there's even a rocket launch test, whatever.

00:03:30.440 And look at this, Pat.

00:03:31.320 Could you imagine that?

00:03:33.020 It looks like a nuke.

00:03:34.860 By the way, you know how much total damage was done in dollars?

00:03:37.760 How much?

00:03:38.320 Dollars.

00:03:38.980 Taxpayer NASA.

00:03:40.260 Aerospace analysts are saying the alleged cost, damage,

00:03:45.720 New Glenn rocket destroyed, $150 to $300 million.

00:03:49.780 Launchpad repairs, the LC-36, $50 to $200 million.

00:03:54.160 Testing equipment, ground systems, $10 to $100 million.

00:03:57.760 Launch delays, investigation, lost revenue,

00:04:00.500 tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:04:02.380 So many industry observers are saying at the low end minimum,

00:04:07.860 it's a quarter of a billion dollars,

00:04:09.400 upwards of a billion dollars of loss to what happened yesterday.

00:04:12.620 Stick to Amazon and let Elon do it.

00:04:14.700 Just let Elon do it.

00:04:15.880 We're good.

00:04:16.300 Pat, there's another part to it.

00:04:17.400 But what was learned?

00:04:18.300 There's going to be a bunch that was learned.

00:04:19.960 This is the entrepreneurial process.

00:04:21.500 Oh, for sure.

00:04:22.620 Listen, for sure.

00:04:23.800 Look, you know, for us yesterday, you know, we have things that you're going to make mistakes with as an operator,

00:04:31.200 no matter what company and things that you do.

00:04:33.240 But you have to learn from it.

00:04:34.540 You have to move on from it.

00:04:35.540 You have to kind of see what adjustments you have to make.

00:04:38.060 Man up, take the responsibility and move on, make it better.

00:04:40.280 and for me there's no way you're worth a few hundred billion dollars because you got everything

00:04:44.600 right you're worth a few hundred billion dollars because you did a lot of things that went wrong

00:04:48.760 and you learned from it and you adjusted while you're in the spotlight everybody bashing you

00:04:55.720 calling you this and this and that and he has gotten to this point so i'm looking forward to

00:05:01.360 the recovery from this to see what they do next and knowing bezos you know you're going to see

00:05:05.720 the next story and i think the day it happens where they have a successful launch you know

00:05:10.020 who I think is going to retweet the successful launch?

00:05:12.180 I think Elon Musk will retweet the successful launch

00:05:14.600 and give him a shout-out. Adam.

00:05:15.600 I fully agree with you.

00:05:16.940 I'll just give it a little spice to it.

00:05:20.580 I think they're actually becoming more aligned than ever.

00:05:23.940 Because I said on the LAD podcast,

00:05:25.160 I think the enemy of the enemy of my friend,

00:05:26.980 I think they're realizing what this socialist,

00:05:29.260 Marxist, communist, woke agenda is taking over.

00:05:32.080 They see what's going on in New York.

00:05:33.200 They see what's going on in California.

00:05:34.300 And they're realizing we're in this thing together, guys.

00:05:36.800 and so blue origin rocket blows up horribly and let me get this straight elon musk competitor to

00:05:45.020 jeff bezos tweets then he says about rockets are tough and then the future is into the moon

00:05:51.600 basically here's what here's where i'm going with this you've talked about this before a public loss

00:05:57.600 like this pat i don't think we understand this like for someone like jeff bezos okay think about

00:06:04.340 the the most public loss you've ever had whoever you are watching this right now you lost the

00:06:09.020 super bowl you lost the big game this guy's rocket blew up and lost how many hundred million dollars

00:06:15.820 52 billion and everyone's talking about it and your chief competitor is like hey man sorry about

00:06:22.400 that you know dust it off get back out there go invest the money that they want you to that they

00:06:27.040 want to tax and go build another racket go a racket rocket so it like tom said you don't win

00:06:33.140 or lose you win or learn and i think he'll he'll learn from this and get better and shout out to

00:06:39.300 the entrepreneurs who are doing stuff like this and i just i'll end with this the the money that

00:06:45.440 you're not taxing mom donnie or bezos or whoever he gonna go forward to buy a new rocket because

00:06:50.580 it costs 100 million dollars are you gonna pay for that because he will yeah yeah it's a good

00:06:55.380 point there's a big game coming up around the corner i think nine of them are going to be in

00:07:00.040 dallas we were at a hotel yesterday everything was about the the world soccer tournament that's

00:07:06.500 coming out there everybody's going to be watching you know neymar messi yesterday they announced

00:07:10.820 messi's going into a sixth world cup i don't know if you saw that it's going to be crazy it's going

00:07:14.500 to be a big tournament that they're having and so while you're going through that depending on the

00:07:19.360 countries you're from we have some special gear that is limited there's not a big supply of them

00:07:25.580 and we chose the countries based on who watches the content the most and it has the future looks

00:07:32.020 bright with the country's flag so having said that watch this video and i'll tell you what

00:07:36.500 future looks bright gear we have here for you go ahead rob

00:07:38.940 I'll see you next time.

00:08:08.940 I got Mohamed Reza, Sharpeh Al-Abi.

00:08:14.940 France.

00:08:22.940 Zidane.

00:08:24.940 And then we got a few other ones.

00:08:30.940 Who is this? This is Colombia.

00:08:32.940 Colombia.

00:08:34.940 Boom.

00:08:35.940 and argentina you know people are dancing at home right now

00:08:42.900 so remember it's not a big supply if you're watching this you want to get the shirt combination

00:08:50.220 this is the u.s hat that we have with the u.s flag on the lid with the soccer ball inside of it

00:08:57.740 these things look absolutely insane and by the way we didn't get a big supply of them some of

00:09:03.000 them it's only 50 like the iran one that we have with the shahen shahe flag on the bottom of it

00:09:06.940 it's only 50 so if some of you guys are going to the game and you kind of want to wear the hat

00:09:11.800 because they're saying you cannot wear the hat vinnie i don't know if i gave it to you or not

00:09:15.260 no i don't have that do you have the iran hat more i think it's this one here i don't know

00:09:19.420 which one it is one of these guys we have here it looks ridiculous the way there you go look at this

00:09:25.340 on the bottom of the lid right there i love the fact that you have good iran's it's only 50 of

00:09:30.480 So first come, first serve.

00:09:32.020 If somebody buys 50, it's literally going to say sold out.

00:09:34.860 And then you have all the other countries and U.S.

00:09:37.520 And then if you want to combine it with the shirts, Rob,

00:09:39.500 if you want to go a little bit lower, it'll go to click on the Argentina one,

00:09:49.320 Shirts, hats go a little bit lower.

00:09:51.560 So buy the hats with the shirts combined.
