SpaceX's Falcon Heavy To Launch A $5 Billion Spacecraft Made NASA Embarrassed...
2024 has undeniably marked a momentous leap forward in space exploration. Alongside the test launches of Starship and the crewed flight test of Starliner, SpaceX's powerful Falcon Heavy is poised for a groundbreaking mission to investigate the potential for life within our solar system. In this mission, Falcon Heavy will carry its most expensive and crucial payload to date.
Join us today as we dive into this exciting mission.

On June 4th, NASA made a notable announcement on X. “Here’s the big reveal of EuropaClipper! The spacecraft is out of the box and processing has started ahead of the journey to Jupiter’s moon Europa.”
So, Beyond the Moon and Mars, NASA has embarked on a very ambitious program aimed at exploring Europa.
you know that the Europa Clipper mission carries a hefty price tag of 5 billion dollars? Yes, that's right, a whopping sum that might raise some eyebrows. But before you dismiss it as an extravagant expense, let's find the compelling reasons behind this ambitious endeavor.

The story of Europa Clipper began with the groundbreaking discoveries made by the Galileo spacecraft as it orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Galileo hinted at the existence of an ocean beneath the icy crust of Europa, Jupiter's intriguing moon. Intrigued by this possibility, Nasa initiated the Europa Clipper mission as part of its Solar System Exploration program, driven by the profound question: could this subsurface ocean harbor the potential for life?

$2bn to launch with SLS, and needs a redesign to fly around Venus. Or $178m on SpaceX Super Heavy. It's not even a decision.

We the people are tired of NASA and Boeing wasting our money

[challengerultralightadventure]

Boeing used to get away with an unlimited budget and endless delays. They were for the most part, a private company operating as if they were a government. Along comes Elon Musk and SpaceX, and show them what a private company can do. I don't think those in government, who used to get envelopes of cash under the table, have nice things to say regarding Elon Musk. Which is clearly shown by how may roadblocks they put up to stop SpaceX from succeeding. Like they have been doing with Starship, and those fish and wildlife delays, along with other silly roadblocking attempts.

Cancel SLS. It's a useless money pit.

[donaldhester]

The best thing the government can do at this point is consider donating NASA to Space X and let Elon Musk turn NASA into a space agency that can actually get something done.

[zwebsterz]

Are you kidding me? $178M vs. $3B? What is Boeing thinking? I want to know who are the congressmen who were even considering spending $3B vs. $178M taxpayer money?

[BillSmith-fxxx]

5B $. Do I get an inflight meal with that ?

[FrankRuiz]

Well in English SLS expensive and shaky.. ULA.. SAME

SpaceX to the rescue

[Nova-bckj]

SpaceX is about 10 years ahead of every other rocket program on the planet. It's way past time to quit using multi-million/billion dollar throw away rockets. Just STOP. If you have to pay SpaceX for classes on how to successfully land rockets, then pay up. Tuck in your pride and envy and just go back to school. I'm sure Elon Musk can provide good class room and field training for his courses in: How to Land Rockets. and Stop Throwing Rockets Into the Sea. You might even consider the taxpayers once in a while; and STOP THROWING ROCKETS AND MONEY INTO THE SEA.

[kevinbissett]

Good Morning. Great Episode. Let's give up on Boeing. Let's go with the tried, proven, reliable, less expensive. common sense approach. And much less political. Have a Great Day.

“ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPA.
ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.
USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE.”

[djsandvig]

Now that all our roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads, ports, energy grid, and food production are all in top notch condition, let’s take a 5BILLION dollar look a a frickin moon somewhere that may or may not have a infinitesimal influence on the well being of the people PAYING for this colossal boondoggle.

[heinolivier]

Listening to someone speaking non-stop, with all the space removed between the different sentences, makes it very difficult to follow and enjoy the video.

“ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPA.
ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE."

[_Dutchman_]

0:50 Who else thought about Clark Kent from the 80s ?

[spazoq]

Waste of money. We already know this spacecraft is doomed; Arthur C. Clark predicted it. ”All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace." :D

[dmfraser]

Looking at the cost difference, I cannot understand how NASA people promoting the Boeing product can go to Congress for funding with a straight face. It seems to me that Boeing is so used to charging whatever it pleases that they have forgotten how to be cost effective.

[steveurbach]

And saving 1.5B of Taxpayers $ on a launch, leaving it for other uses is not Politically acceptable ?

[ValenHawk]

its about time we started exploring again and especially Europa

[bonzai]

Boeing have proven they are not up to the task. Look at Starliner, delay, delay budget cost overruns and now at the space station with uncertainty as to whether they can bring it back safely. WTF, now Boeing wants 5 billion for a SLS rocket launch when Spacex can do it for 163 million. I think NASA really needs to rethink using Boeing as a vendor for any space ventures until they get their act together and become competitive with Spacex.
