Now let's get started. Hey, and welcome to the Full Life Crew. I'm Jareth. And I'm Debra. And we are the Full Life Crew. And today's podcast is called Just Stuff. Now we talk about just stuff because we just like talking about just stuff. I enjoy talking. I like to talk. I'm a girl. I like to talk. Today we're talking about Tesla in Louisiana. Is it Tesla or is it SpaceX? Oh gosh. It's SpaceX. It's because you're missing your car. Yeah. But that's a different podcast. So we're talking about, yeah, SpaceX is coming to Louisiana. I wonder how many people say Louisiana or they say Louisiana. It's Louisiana. King Louis. So when you say, you know, when you say the spaceport name, whatever it's going to be, if it's going to be Louisiana, don't say, I'm going to the Louisiana spaceport. No, it's Louisiana. Louisiana. Yeah. Anyway, so they're coming to Louisiana and they're coming about an hour and 45 minutes away from us. Yes. And I, I keep asking Jareth, I'm like, is, am I going to see him? Am I going to hear him? And he's like, yes, you should be able to. So like, I'm excited to see this. I don't know. I'm just excited. Like whoever thought SpaceX would come to Louisiana. And they're going to supposed to be launching like multiple rockets a day when they get it all built out. This could be a horrible thing for us. It could be a good thing. We don't know. Yeah. I mean, I think the thought of it is cool. There's a spaceport an hour and a half from here. We'll be able to drive over there and just watch them dudes launch. Yeah. And then you're supposed to be able to catch them. So we'll watch, watch them catch. But it could also be a horrible thing. Okay. For us. As far as. Well, I mean, we live in a refinery town. Yes. So the refineries are good and bad. They're good because they produce lots of great jobs for local people. Lots of jobs. And without those jobs, we wouldn't be able to run our businesses that we run. Right. Right. So, you know, our, our local economy is dependent on that. However, with the refineries come a lot of noise. Yes. A lot of pollution. So there are negatives. There's like, you got to give and take, you know, you can't, you can't have your cake and eat it too. So I imagine SpaceX will be similar. Um, now a lot of people are complaining about the environment. I don't think the environment is going to be an issue with SpaceX. Okay. I don't think that's going to be a problem as far as pollution wise or the eroding of the coastline. Cause Louisiana is already losing coast from all the erosion. So is that what they're concerned about or? Yeah, they're going to be doing coastal restoration. So if anything, the coastline is going to get better. It's going to get better. Yeah. Well, that is a positive then. I think what people worried about is the people that hunt and they fish and they do all those kinds of things. I think those people are worried about it's going to mess that up and probably within a certain vicinity of the area. It's probably true. I imagine the birds will probably stay a little bit further away when them rockets are launching. That is true. I imagine the fish will probably, you know, the vibration and the sound and the noise will probably push the fish. So probably right around in the area, I would say within, you know, several miles, it probably will have a negative effect on the environment. However, I think that the coastline is going to be reinforced because they're going to have to, cause you don't want to build the, the facility on something that's going to just fall into this, fall into the Gulf. My thing is for us though. Okay. Right. So we already know that the Abbeville area is going to blow up. Right. It's going to be, it'll probably be, Abbeville will probably be bigger than where we live. Okay. But we live an hour and something away. So my thought is, is how is that going to affect us? Like is everybody going to move away from here or is there going to be more people moving in? Yeah. They say a lot of the job is welders and stuff like that. We have a lot of welders that live around here. Okay. So we may lose some of our jobs to over there. So it could have a negative effect on our local economy. Gotcha. But it could bring new people from other States to Louisiana also. And that could also be a negative too. What if it brings people that aren't used to our culture? Cause this is a very unique place in the country. It is a unique place. Everybody says, Hey y'all, hello. And then you, some, we travel other places and nobody tells you hi. Yeah. So this is a very unique place. So is, you know, is bringing SpaceX and we think about SpaceX, you're going to be bringing all types of different people. Types. Is that going to have a negative effect on our culture down here? I don't think so. Our culture is pretty, pretty set. It's pretty set. I think if you move from somewhere else, I think you will conform to our culture because it's it's pretty deep rooted. Well, my other concern is like, we're an hour and a half away. Like what happens if the rocket is off by a few miles in, you know, in space? Okay. What if it comes back? Cause they're going to be coming back to the towers to catch them. Well, I, wouldn't they put the towers out in the Gulf? Not on the land, wouldn't they put the landings like out in the water? That way, if it was on or off a little bit, it would, I don't know. I haven't really looked into it, but it looks like the towers are going to be on land. Yeah. Now I know eventually he wants to catch, do it all out in the ocean and you launch them and catch them in the ocean. I do know that that's one of his plans, but I'm just thinking like, what if one's off way up there? That's going to make a big effect down here. If it lands in our backyard. Or my house. Oh no. Or the interstate. Or the interstate. You know, I never even thought about that. I mean, the refineries here, a lot of people probably never thought they would blow up, but there's been many instances where refineries have blown up. So there's going to be accidents. So how many have been off so far? Do you know? Have you researched that? Um, well, I think most of them have been where they were supposed to go. Okay. Well then I feel better. But you never know what can happen in the future. That's true. And then with multiple launches, I'm sure. Like you're talking multiple launches, like a launch a month, a launch, like what are we talking like? No, I think the, I think the number was like 12 a day. Wow. SpaceX is going to launch 12 a day. I don't, I don't remember. It was just, it was a number of a bunch a day. Not, not like they're doing now where it's like one every quarter where they're developing. No, it's like launch one, reset one, launch one, reset one, like just steady flow. Have y'all seen this? Because you keep up with it better than me. Yeah. No, it's that's the plan. Okay. Be like an airport. So to space. Okay. In Louisiana. In Louisiana. And then things are loud. So I I'm curious as to whether or not probably won't hear it take off because the sound will be going this way. But when the rocket gets to a certain point in the air, just like a big jet flyover. Okay. So we just had the air show the past weekend and the blue angels were here with their jets. And I was doing an event in Lake Charles and they were very loud when they went over, but they weren't loud right when they went over it's after they had passed, you heard the sound. So is it going to be loud like that? I don't know. Cause the blue angel is going this way. So the sound is actually going that way, right? The rocket's going this way. So the sound is coming to the ground. And as it goes out, that sound is going to travel out louder. So we may be sitting here trying to film a podcast and here in the background, it has 33 rocket engines. The Saturn five that put the people on the moon had five. What about the, the, the, the, when they blew up the building in Lake Charles, y'all went to and y'all felt it and heard it. Is it something like that? Oh, I would imagine it's way. I've the amount of force coming out of that thing. It vibrates visible light. Like you can see the shock waves just traveling through the air. Well, now I'm getting worried. I think like, I thought it was really cool at first, but now I'm starting to, um, well, I mean, as close as we are, it could be a negative or it could be something grand. I don't know. Cause we're only an hour and 30 minutes away. Yeah. So, Oh no. Well, I guess we just have to, we're going to have to keep up to date. Like we need to go. Well, I've already seen the old boys, the good old boys on the TV. Who's the good old boys? Well, like the, you know, uh, like, you, you know, the, the stereotypical Cajun man down there. You're like, yeah, they got to come with that space port and they're going to take my, my, my fishing and my hunting and my ducks. Okay. So those guys are already pissed off. Okay. Yeah. But I think in general, you know, that's a, that's a smaller minority of people around our area. I think most people are excited for it. And I don't think SpaceX is going to do, I think they'll do less damage to the environment. Like these LNG plants and these other plants are doing. Can we take a trip? Yeah. Like we could drive and see kind of where they're putting in everything. Okay, cool. We need to do that one day. Oh yeah. And then the next thing is tourism. Like people are going to come from all over to watch these things launch. Well, people come all over now for New Orleans. Who goes to New Orleans? Oh gosh. Every, okay. When, Mardi Gras, you have people from all over the world coming. Let's just be clear. There's, we don't go to New Orleans. There's Louisiana and there's New Orleans. And most people that live in the state of Louisiana don't go to New Orleans for fun. They avoid it. But other people, people from overseas will come to New Orleans for Mardi Gras because they hear of New Orleans Mardi Gras. So if you already have that tourism, then you add on SpaceX, then it's really going to be. If you want to do something fun from Mardi Gras, come to Lake Charles. You're going to get probably better food. There's, you still have the hotels and the casinos, but you have a lot less violent crime. Oh, and you're only an hour and a half from SpaceX now. So you come to Mardi Gras and then go watch the, go watch the rockets launch. I don't know. I don't know, but it would be cool to think, yeah, but could you imagine, you know, the old Cajun man, if the Cajun man ends up on the rocket and they send him out to space and he gets to space and our first encounter with an alien, the alien's like, you know, like Spock, like live long and prosper. And the old Cajun man said, Michelle, what y'all got to eat around here? He might even be looking for food. But wait, is it sending people to space? Eventually? Yeah. The whole plan is to send people to the moon and Mars. Okay. I thought it was just sending equipment and stuff. Yeah. That's the first part. 2028 is you're supposed, we're supposed to be landing people back on the moon to build a permanent moon base. Okay. From SpaceX, Louisiana. I would imagine it's probably going to come from that area. You think I can meet Elon? You can meet him? Yeah. You think he'll be there one day and I can go meet him? I imagine he'll be there. Hi Elon, I'm Debra. And he'd be like, who are you? Well, you want to meet Elon? Yeah. He's already had multiple wives. I don't, I just want to meet him. Like the dude's a brainiac. Like he's so smart. Do you think he's an alien? I think he might be slight alien. I mean, to be that smart and do what he's done, like I would just like to meet him and tell him. Y'all think Elon is an alien or maybe he's an AI robot? I just want to meet Elon. Like, I think, like somebody that smart, I would love to meet because my brain capacity is this. His is like this. So we don't know if it's going to be good or if it's going to be bad. If it's going to be good for the environment, bad for the environment. We don't know if it's going to be good for our economy. We have no idea what's going to happen, you know? So we're just kind of playing it by ear, but we'll probably have many more podcasts on our Just Stuff podcast about the SpaceX coming to Louisiana. Because right now it's just exciting. We don't know a super whole lot, so it's just exciting to us, but we will definitely keep you informed on this. Yeah, exciting is a weird word because in one part, you're like, oh, it's cool. And the other part, like what's going to happen? But it's still exciting because you don't know. Yeah, is there another word for maybe anticipation? Anticipation. Anticipation, because you don't know. You don't know what's going to happen. That is true. You know rockets are going to go, but you don't know what the other effects going to be. But this is really the only place they could do it, you know, because our water down here in Louisiana is muddy. Brown. So there's no condos or hotels along the coast. It's mostly hunting and fishing. And so this is really the only place you could do it. And then I think the way they launch them and the way they're trying to get their trajectory, they need to launch from somewhere around in this latitude of the planet. Gotcha. But yeah. So yeah, we'll bring up, we'll bring some more podcasts on the SpaceX. I think it's going to be interesting. I think so. Yeah. So while you're out there anticipating SpaceX Louisiana. Yeah.
