00:00yes yes then um then cancel the launch you know and make them set everything up again at the cost
00:12of hundreds of thousands of dollars in two days time so no things have improved dramatically
00:20they don't do that anymore so they've been given orders or they've been removed from their
00:24positions and um elon has given a much more sensible um set of rules to comply by which they do they
00:33definitely want to comply by the rules but um recently last year um they were fined 150 000
00:42because they when you do a launch you actually open the floodgates of several um
00:49uh reservoirs which contain you know quite a few hundred thousand cubic yards or meters of
00:58water and you actually douse the spot that the um exhaust is uh focuses on until the vehicle the
01:09launch vehicle gets a bit off the ground and to do that's to stop the rock under the uh the concrete
01:16and rock underneath from melting you know and they were fined 150 000 because they said this deluge of
01:23water had caused uh soil runoff uh unusually you know uh difficult soil runoff which didn't of course
01:33and uh because they replaced the soil with bulldozers but um that's the kind of thing that they've been
01:38dealing with and uh anything that as petty as possible to prevent them from from from making progress
01:46but that's over that's totally over yeah it's interesting when you talk about problem now you talk
01:52about those sort of a hundred
