it's a hard problem for rockets. the reason, right now falcon nine is the only rocket being flown with the, -- we don't use the dragon trunk and so with the starship we are just like hopefully we can reuse the whole thing. that's a a hard problem for rockets, that's for sure. we are like 19 years in now. i think we can see -- the starship design can work. it's a hard thing to solve and the support of nasa is a much appreciated in this regard. i think it's going to work. i think it's going to work. >> hanky. next up we have david carley with the discovery channel. >> caller: for anybody nasa/spacex, was bob behnken allowed to leave anything forow megan in the dragon? and elon, it's been a long journey with the hls and everything else. on the arc of what you'reha hopg to do are you going faster or slower? i know you had some frustrations early, but where do you see bigger picture we are we need to go? thank you. >> i guess i'll take the question of bob. i don't know of anything specific that he left for megan. certainl

just days before liftoff the reason why the soyuz rocket is so big because it needs a lot of fuel to overcome gravity and that's what a space rocket basically is is just a massive fuel tend to 90 percent of it burns out during the flight see it was in the past and then used parts simply fall back to earth and that's why by the way that was one of the reason why baikonur was built. in sparsely populated steps of kazakhstan because you don't want used parts of rocket to fall on someone's house the spacecraft itself is much smaller if you compare with what the rest of the rocket sits right on the tip of the rocket inside a capsule let's go into print tacks the space crew while they're going to make blast their way to orbit. and this time we have 2 russian cosmonauts and want to merican astro. despite the vastly have in spaces dragon program they still dependent on russia and pay the country to a sand its astronauts into space anyway the preparation is in full swing now his specially for russia's peter dubrovsky this is going to be his 1st ever space flight leg novitsky another russian c

that is a slice of a solid rocket booster. it's actually a slice of a model of a solid rocket booster. but in addition to the rocket engines that were physically integrated into the shuttle orbiter, there were these twins solid rocket boosters mounted on the sides of the giant liquid propellant take. and we commission that model and the cross section to show the pattern in that rocket booster where the solid fuel first begins to burn. and it is like a star shape or a snowflake sheet pattern there. and that increases the efficiency of the fuel burn, and produces a tremendous amount of thrust through the twin solid rocket boosters. they burned out within two minutes of ignition, and fell away from the shuttle. the main engines consumed fuel from the external tank for eight and a half minutes, and the tank fell away just before the space shuttle entered orbit. a totally revolutionary way of sending a spacecraft to orbit. and that is really the theme of this whole gallery. i'm new way of doing spaceflight. in the shuttle era. as i
