Elon Musk is pure Hope ❤️ 🚀
We need an "insane" counter for these videos, or a super cut. I think we're pushing 50.
News media is dead. We are in the era of the speciality journalist. It changes everything for people truly interested in a subject.
Why is your cameraman always behind you two? He should be either in front of you two, or behind you and in front of Elon. Coming from an ex long time cameraman :)
Replace the Hotstage ring with the grid fins!! Mount them vertical to support the starship on ascent, and when it blasts away from the booster, the grid fins fall into their horizontal landing position. The fins can be bigger to drag going down, and can be reduced to 2 or three fins. This will save drag on the ascent and weight from the Hotstage rings being integral to doubling as the grid fins!! Tell Musk to think about it.
I absolutely love how an amateur youtuber became THE guy with the inside scoop on the biggest ting in spaceflight.....
I know, right? It's almost as though EA has redefined the industry and can't really be called an amateur anymore
Because he is a SpaceX fanboy
@@andybreuhan He sure is a fanboy of Space...
@@andybreuhan why would he not be? look at what they let him do, anyone who does that or gives u that much access you're gonna be a fan of
@@andybreuhan What else is there to be a fan boy of? Blue Origin?
The shot at 00:46 is almost like science fiction movie.
like a render or something
Exactly what I was thinking, it’s just so clean!
like a set from "Interstellar"
looks like a Star Wars base
it does.. I love how clean and minimal it looks, with the purple sunset colors.
Just from a pure filmmaking point of view, that long uncut take of approaching the launch pad as Elon whistles and the wind blows is one of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen.
Same. It looks surreal.
That tune that Elon was whistling was part of the 1812 Overture that usually involves carrillion and cannons. A Russian composer wrote it...I am not stating his name because I honestly do not remember how to spell it.
lmao dont see much do you
that column of fire of the thrust was reality altering to watch. can you imagine the sound in the area?
yup same perspective i had too!!
The way that Elon is totally nerdy and puts a UA-camr high up on his priorities and gives it what looks like a good chunk of his valuable time is impressive to me. A very big majority of big companies wouldn't even let a UA-camr get near their CEO, if anything they would have a PR person do an interview for an hour or so and thats that. Elon and Tim are best buddies and i respect that
If mainstream media was not out to get him he might talk to them, otherwise I think it is more "Go get f...ed".
Because Elon has a cosmic mindset.
na thats 2010 mindset... everyone is on youtube nowadays, main aim is to get to as much viewers as you can and Everyday Astronaut has most subscribers on the space launch updates front.. ULA CEO done it with smartereveryday
@@Soulzzzzz - Both Tory Bruno and Elon Musk are hardcore rocket enthusiasts.
I’m in my mid 50’s, I grew up with the 3 channels and a couple on UHF, this is SO much better than some reporter trying to cover it. Few people have the knowledge and passion like Tim. He’s the PERFECT platform and Elon sees that.
As you're walking up to the OLM, a funny line would be "it's around here somewhere".
lolll
lol....
Yes. And the distance to those old vertical tanks in the tank farm looks FAR AWAY when seen here, from a normal lens and ground angle, compared to the long telephoto lens views we usually get, where the tank farm has always appeared dangerously close to the pad.
It defies logic. Even to an experienced photographer, who KNOWS how much telephoto lenses compress the perception of distance between objects, it is still surprising somehow. The huge size of those objects really play tricks on the mind.
Version 2 will have summon.
@@PristineTX wait till that's a common sight everywhere else… that's the real mindfuckery
I've seen plenty of videos of the launch site, but them actually walking there really made me realize how huge it is.

You are the premier interviewer with Elon and all things space. I love the fact that Elon is so comfortable around you knowing that you are genuine with your love for space and look forward to many more interviews with you and Elon. Thank you, both

@@Kabab💯
"It's easy to be an arm chair rocket engineer." 😄 I think that was my favorite part.
This is so cool that Elon actually gave his time to a lone UA-cam reporter and discussed with him the visions that he has. Great Job!
Elon is a fan of Tim and has praised his knowledge and the quality of videos on this channel.
You can see him multiple times wearing Everyday Astronaut merch too.
This is all due to Tim's effort and passion
this gatta be way more enjoyable then lemon
Tim one interview changed the whole course of the rocket. I recommend go watching it
Elon knows the value of marketing
Much better to talk to someone who loves learning Rocket science than a TV reporter doing their job

What I really love about this interview is how simple and down-to-earth it feels. Just two humans with a shared interest talking together. No press team, no polished words, no non-sense -- and no fences "you can't go futher than this". They're standing in front of the largest rocket ever - just talking. Come on! CNN, BBC or Sky could never do this, ever!
Absolutely. Love hearing Elon think while speaking.
in 1969 I watched some very grainy, wriggly, poor resolution pictures of the Moon Landing, and thought that it was incredible that we could see people on the moon! Thanks to Elon and SpaceX, I can now not only watch the development of the future of Space Travel, but can also see in incredible detail both the technology and the people involved. And many thanks Tim for gaining Elon's trust and bring us all these amazing insights. Well done!

That Starship still working even after burning up one flap was like the A10 warthog of spacecraft.
more like the f15 lol, like that one time it landed without wing
@@linecraftman3907good reference. The fact the pilot didn't even know the wing was missing is the crazy part of that story.
@@matthewconnor5483 They knew it was bad, but that they felt they could still land the plane instead of punching out. Pilot gets to make the call as there is no way to force them.
Who cares that the thermal protection system failed? Not the fanboys -- they're transfixed by "the little flap that could".
@@linecraftman3907 i heard a interview the pilot said he knew something was wrong and the landing was hard but i no idea he was missing a wing because how can you fly with only one wing
Elon; 'let's say this is Earth..' points at the Earth
I thought the same thing 😂
6:43
6:45?
@@crowlsyong I was 30 sec late 😅
Us regular Earth-dwellers don't need to establish the frame of reference when we describe a coasting or gliding vehicle. But space nerds can't shake the habit. In orbital mechanics, "down" and "forward" are much less obvious than we are used to.
I really hope either Elon or another SpaceX member is able to continue doing these.
Tim, you have made some of not only the most fun, but also the most educational content around not only starship, but spaceflight as a whole.
Keep the non-casual style, keep covering high level concepts, and keep bringing spaceflight down to everyday people!
That shot with you and Elon walking up to starship at the beginning is just amazing! It looks like real life science fiction!
Elon seemed so happy during the follow-up interview
Yes, drastically different mood from the day before.
Must have been a massive relief the entire flight being so successful. Re-entry was probably the biggest challenge they faced on the whole project and to see that concept proved is really the last major challenge. From now on it will be all about finessing and reliability of what has already been achieved.
Yeah his kids dont want to be around him so he was happy someone did.
@@Paultimate7inside information or you just a bot
@@Paultimate7 Funny how his kids always seem to be around if that is the case.
If you had ever actually achieved anything really difficult you would understand the feeling that comes with success.
The tune he is whistling is 1812 overture by Tchaikovsky. It’s an absolute banger.
I’d whistle that too if I were walking around my spaceship factory
i saw it preformed live too
Music for the royal fireworks would had been more appropiate :)
It's the song they chose for the SpaceX compilation video of Falcon 9 development mishaps.
Thanks for the correction.
I can't get enough of these interviews about Starship, so much progress in so little time. Thank you Tim!
Tim: "...and you're trying to catch it." Elon: "YEAH, catch it with mechazilla arms."
It will be insane when this happens for the first time in the history of humanity!!!
I'm blown away by these two interviews. Two friends casually talking about and standing right beside an engineering marvel that no other space agency is even considering. Truly historic !!!
China will have one sooner than later and anyone who want to rent it will have it because that is one of the way to pay part of the $10 billion that will cost the R&D of first optimized one in 2026.
@@joannewilson6577What?
@joannewilson6577 first optimized what? Ship, engine, rocket, landing gears, im so confused 😂
I'm sure Elon dosen't see him as a friend. No offense to Joe n all, but elon sees him like he sees every person that wants to talk space x. "Oh boy I gotta explain rocketry to more people" I'm sure this is what he thinks just said in simpler terms.
@@joannewilson6577 China is still not landing any operational rockets after all these years of SpaceX making it mundane. Kinda hard to put faith in them surpassing SpaceX at this point. 🤷🏼♂
I much prefer Elon's kind of interview compared to NASA politicians on their launches.
These interviews are completely awesome to watch! Thank-you Elon and Tim!
Yep, because Elon talks as though his audience actually can understand something complex. Everyone else talks down to you like you are a 5th grader
@@MrShikaga😊😅
@@MrShikaga That's why Elon likes talking to Tim. Tim and his viewers understand the stuff while just about every other interviewer need extreme dumbing down.
@@realulli yep. It’s why independent journalism is so important. There is no way each need outlet can have a dedicated reporter who is as informed about their field as Tim is, so they all need to assign novices, and it is all just a bit pointless.
I must say that in the first video Elon was completely preoccupied with the upcoming launch and he seemed to just barely be following along with the interview. In the post-launch interview he was visibly more present and less distracted.
This is also before the launch...
Edit: Tim just mentionned doing a post-flight quick interview. I didn't see it😊
@@ChaineYTXF The second half of this clip is the post flight interview.
If you'd released this as two parts (launch pad tour and post-flight interview), both of them would've been absolutely exceptional videos. So good.
After decades of watching NASA CRAWL , We are blessed to have this man and his team LEAP into History. Thank you Elon and SpaceX for the ride.
NASA does, what politicians ask or allow them to do. That's the main issue.
Aww - you missed the golden opportunity to say how they LAUNCHED their way into history instead of just LEAP 😂
@@CATinBOOTS81the issue with NASA boils down to the fact that it gets funding via appropriation rather than just an upfront budget that they get to actually chose where and how to spend - since it requires an act of Congress - literally - to approve funding for a rocket or rover or satellite or whatever - all the politicians then get involved cause they all want their piece of the pie for their state - and rather than giving as many companies in as many states contracts for x piece or part but requiring they all go to one or a few central location(s) - limiting EXTREMELY expensive and time consuming and difficult transportation from this city to that and that airport to that facility and that facility back to that port or airport etc - would make SOOO much more sense to have the companies take their part abd fly out to the launch site where they assemble the rocket cooperatively in a big VAB like building rather than the insanity we have today - look at the path the James Webb telescope too around the country - like this way and that way and back over to where it just came from clear to the other side of the country where it moves around some before going back to the other side only to go right back again…. - it’s INSANE and makes no sense - would be so much more cost effective and efficient to give for sake of argument in an ideal world - every state gets one or a couple companies headquarter there that get contracts for the engine or the guidance unit or the heat shield or this valve or that pipe or whatever but part of the contract is they and their part or parts have to go TO where the rocket is being built and tested and ultimately launched so we’re not having to move MASSIVE chunks of rockets around for no reason just so a new part can be put in before sending it to someone else - but that’s not how we do it - politics are definitely a part, but like I said - the funds being from appropriation and thus locked in stone - short of another act of Congress to amend or add or change something - so if we could encourage giving as many companies and thus states tax/income as possible but centralizing where things get put together or at least limiting, and allowing for changing of plans - if someone gets a contract for a valve say and they win saying it’ll take 2 years and cost $5 million bucks - but then 3-5 years late and 8-10+ mil in the hole they’re asking for more time and money and someone else comes along, I can get you one in a month and it’ll cost 250k - they should be able to dump the first company that’s not met their contract and move to someone who can - AND demand their money back too - or at least a portion - that’s why there’s been so many delays with the SLS - Boeing keeps having issues and blah blah blah but because we’ve signed a low giving them money and the contract for some asinine reason it makes more sense to keep giving them time and money and delaying the entire project rather than yanking their contract and going to a competition- in this case, SpaceX - who’s clearly showing they’re FAR more capable because they don’t have the red tape and stupid levels of bureaucracy and all NASA has to put up with - and they don’t have to spend half a year shipping crap around for millions of dollars all to get five new bits put in and still be years out - and they’re VASTLY cheaper too because they’re not bloating their bids and all like the majority of these military contractors do - I LOVE the interview from a good couple years back now with like a vp or ceo - someone high up - with ULA where he was basically whining that they can’t keep up and compete with SpaceX’s prices - like yeah that’s what happens when you get complacent, greedy, and lazy for 40 years and think you won’t ever have to worry about not being able yo win contracts cause you’ve been doing it so long Uncle Sam will keep overpaying you cause there isn’t anyone else they can go with besides Boeing and a few others - but then SpaceX comes along and in less than 25 years has fully certified and built and developed 3 orbital rockets, a crewed variant of two of them, and are quickly nearing certifying the fourth one - which is literally the biggest rocket in history - and they’ve got plans to make it and go even bigger smh - if nasa was given a budget and could cut underperforming companies that aren’t delivering for others who will and hold them to their bids and timelines, it would be amazing to see what NASA would do - least that's my opinion
Having a tangible goal is the difference. When NASA had the "land a man on the moon in this decade" goal, they made tremendous progress. Elon & SpaceX have the "man to Mars in my life time" goal, and that's broken into the steps necessary both before and after reaching Mars. A clearly defined goal, within a time frame, & access to financing are the necessary ingredients for rapid progress.
@@davidkottman3440 NASA had goals.. but politician changed/cancel them all the time, with a lot of ressources lost... Constellation project cost 230B$ and got canceled by politics....
The way Elon stands there and looks at his rocket is very touching. You can see this mans drive to get humans to other planets in his lifetime. Also, the size of that beautiful Starship is insane. Can't wait to see flight 5.
The Saturn V was only 30 feet shorter.
As of 2024, the Saturn V remains the only launch vehicle to have carried humans beyond low Earth orbit (LEO). The Saturn V holds the record for the largest payload capacity to low Earth orbit, 311,152 lb (141,136 kg),

At a height of 363 feet (111 m), the Saturn V stood 58 feet (18 m) taller than the Statue of Liberty.
NASA had four robotic spacecraft have visited Saturn. NASA's Pioneer 11 provided the first close look in September 1979.
Pioneer 10. NASA's first spacecraft to visit the outer planets, Pioneer 10 was designed as a 21-month mission to Jupiter, yet lasted more than 30 years.
After its Jupiter encounter in 1973, it continued beyond the solar system, sending its last signal to Earth in January 2003 from a distance of 7.6 billion miles.
Juno completed a five-year cruise to Jupiter, arriving on July 5, 2016.
Voyager 1 and 2 are twin spacecraft launched in 1977 to visit the outer planets of our solar system.
Voyager 2 continued on alone to Uranus and Neptune - still the only spacecraft to visit those two distant giants.

Tim, thanks for your great videos and interview skills ,
while watching your videos
it really gives the human part/element in it
instead of soulless corporate/business interviews.
It's a pleasure to watch!
Thanks!
Greetings
Tim these views are amazing.. Great to get footage with no workers around. It gives a better feel of scale and the space available around the launch pad.
It is so clean out there. It looks like a computer animated rendering of the launch site.
Yeah. But considering those shockwaves it's not surprising. Any trash could be like bullet.
yeah its weird seeing that "just before launch" view after being used to seeing it as a work site on the live streams
Well everything would get toasted if it was left there! haha
@@freedomforall2486 not just toasted, probably accelerated to Mach 2+ as well.
6:44 Using the earth as the earth in the example made me laugh.

i love this interview so much, and cryo is awesome for the launch footage. what a rollercoaster this flight was, just awe inspiring
there is so much in the future for you Tim
I can't imagine what it must feel like for Elon to know that HE did all of this with his team. There is such much stuff that was considered impossible, yet here we are!
Thanks, part 2 realised quicker than I expected.
There's something so much more wholesome and organic seeing a conversation between a mega fan and Elon vs. a "professional" media person like from a news station who is just doing the minimal thing to meet the job requirements then moving on to the next story. Journalism needs more specialists who truly care about the quality of their coverage and who are dedicated to presenting the information in a completely transparent and genuine way.
FACTS
Yes, you had to be there in the 1960s to see this from the mainstream media. All networks had dedicated science correspondents for spaceflights.
Todays journalism really just is, what you get when people have to ditch their compassion for clicks, quota and mediocre edication requirements. One more reason for a Basic Income. We need more people like Tim, saying No to mass media mechanisms.
@@john_in_phoenix In the '60s people were paying for journalism....today many are not, expect to be all free. Well, nobody works for free. That's why the hunt for clicks from the mainstream media. They have to survie somehow because people are not paying much anymore. And thus the quality decreases.
I love this so much!!! Thank you Elon for gifting Tim Dodd and all of us with this gift of a dream we all had. To have a walking tour with you!!! Tim we are all so happy and grateful to you for being you and sharing your passion interest and optimism and coureousity with us! You are awesowe!!!! Thanknyou!!! See you next launch!!!!
Tim (&team) amazing job! One of the very few people on YT where I don't even skip ads...
Kudo’s man. Just casually chatting with Elon, immediately after such a great achievement. I’m sure there were a lot of things going on, yet he took time out of his day to o over the event with you. That…is mind blowing, in and of itself.
These personal interviews with Elon will be viewed by generations to come and I enjoy them greatly. I always wish it were possible to witness this type of exposure to historical giants of our past. I know my 6 grandchildren and their progeny will be able to watch these in amazement well after I’m gone. Thanks!!!

0:28 This scene is surreal. It's so large, it looks like a movie. I get hopeful whenever I hear Elon talk.
So much in our society is going backwards & deteriorating, the Mars mission gives humanity hope and something to look forward to.

Great video with some amazing shots. Awesome you got the post flight interview.
Thank you Tim :) So well worth the wait.
Great to see you getting more comfortable talking with Elon, one of the only people he genuinely seems excited to chat with, it would be amazing for you to standardise a 10 min pre and post flight interview with him, going through what they're aiming to test on the flight, and then a debrief of how it went. Also when you chat to him about things you know inside and out and go into the details it really gets the best chat, I'd be very keen to know when we can expect to see windows and if the interior of the ship is being designed.
Potential is definitely there for a long-term mutually beneficial relationship, I would think.
@@Sam_Saraguy Tim is not out to get Elon, it makes a huge difference.
@@babbagebrassworks4278 No, he's just a space geek that's just as excited as Elon about the whole thing. What makes it special is that he's knowledgeable enough to understand most of what he's saying (I spotted one occasion, when Elon mentioned adjacent flow during the factory tour).
What a privilege to be able to do this dual interview, before and after.
Elon seems to strain for words sometimes finding a way to describe things so that us lesser humans can understand.
Brilliant man.
I was thinking the same thing 😆
28:01
Tim: Do you think you ought to complete Tower 2 before trying to catch the booster with Tower 1?
Elon: No, we have replacement parts...
Yes, well... the current tower is version 1 hardware - it works, but if they break it, it just means they'll need version 2 a little sooner. And they've done enough launches with it now that they probably have a long list of improvements to be incorporated.
@@simongeard4824 It's took short to accommodate the later versions... biggest change. ;-)
Its more of if booster crashes and takes out the tower then they are half way done with replacing it.

Two videos in such a short timespan, perfect
6:44 "If this is the earth..." Says Elon poiting to the ground LOL
6:44 🫡
That prove he is actually from Mars and is trying to get back home
He’s just confirming it is in-fact Earth. Guy gets around.
That walk up to the rocket was just amazing! You may not have had something to put it into perspective, but us as the viewers had 2 people to compare it to. The straight up neck bending to look up to the top says it all. The base it was on looked absolutely huge.... then the monster on top! An absolute marvel!
I just got goosebumps watching the ignition and liftoff
29:02 : "It's rare from me to drop an imperial decree. Once in a while, but it's pretty rare". If my boss could hear this one from the boss of the bosses...
I imagine Elon with the top engineers as something like King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
@@Martinit0 I'm a huge fan of musk's accomplishments but he's a dictator who demands every ounce of capability and then more.
One time he did was when he ordered a faster production of raptor engines, but yeah he's right it is pretty rare.
When you employ the best team it is hard to argue with their points of view. Elon does take a very long term view so he is looking far ahead.
@@Kennerad0 Another one was when he decided to go with steel instead of carbon fibre composites.
Of all of elon's interviews you get the most information when he is talking to Everyday astronaut. Great job
Thanks for the follow-up!
Hey Tim, thx so much for the follow up! And thx for being an awesome supportive dude for whom Elon manages to find the time! That's really being a great professional along side being a great human being!
Damt I never expected that tower is massive 😮
"Booster bidet" LMFAO
The contrast in Elons mood pre vs post launch and how giddy he is at 20:04... what an interview
Hate or love the guy, you can't deny he's gathered a team that is making space looking really cool
I was surprised to see Tim got to talk to Elon AFTER the launch.
At 15:00 I see why. Smart move to shake on it 😂
elon promissed it and he kept it, elon basically promissed if ift4 goes very well and succesfful he will do a follow up
That view of the launchpad from that angle at the beginning is awesome, almost like sci-fi 😮 And that exclusive info on the 2nd tower and flame trench, that’s what everyone was waiting for 👍🏼
Seeing how big Starship is up close, it's hard to fathom how they're going to catch it with the mechzilla arms. Those arms will have to hold a LOT of mass. Have they directly tested their holding capacity without launching?
They lifted Starship up with them
@@0topon Well there you go. It just doesn't *feel* right, y'know? The physics is almost unbelievable.
Yes. There are several clips with large water bags hanging off of the arms. Not sure to what degree of overload they tested.
With such scenery it's no longer an interview, it's an art
Next 5th flight, let's see the mechazilla arm in action🔥🔥
I'm just waiting for mad media to just push it under some stupid "bus derailed in Peru" headline to follow their idiotic agenda. I really hate mass media by now. It maxed out on stupidity and nonsense.
Elon is not worried about breaking them as they need to be replaced with smaller, faster ones anyway.
Hey Tim - that cut to the launch with your music and the edit... hats off to you and the team. Good moment, esp with hindsight, eh.
Amazing! I've never seen footage anywhere that close to the pad. I hope Elon gives you more interviews in the months to come!
Tim’s a smart dude to “shake on it” about another meeting if it makes it through reentry!
Yess, very clever. I hope he has a special VIP pass for next episodes. It's like to be literally inside of all this historic adventure.
Fantastic finish to the interview !
Awesome; the program is really moving. Love those timelines.
tim is the best person to interview elon because he knew the topic and ask a very good question to elon. elon also enjoy answering his question because it does make him think out of the box or engineering box.
True, they're both perfect for their jobs!
Also Tim doesn't have a hidden agenda like the *ahem* journalists of the mass media. The Lefties at CNN hate his guts and want to make him look stupid, Tim just wants to talk rockets.
Kinda seemed to me like Elan was annoyed by some of the ridiculous "what if" style questions being asked, not to mention his annoyance with the word "insane" being used every 30 seconds.
1:49 That shot of Elon standing there admiring his creation needs to be a print.
Not his creation. It's his half baked idea he told his underpaid engineers to make for him
@@Coyote6745 Can we see your rocket? 🙄
@@wethepeopleofghana8441 can we see something Elon HIMSELF has designed or engineered in any way?
@@wethepeopleofghana8441 or how about any other company elon owns with a positive stock rn
@@Coyote6745 why hate? this is something for all mankind, our future..
So happy for the post launch interview
Man, just grateful for you for the content and Elon for the time. So much inspiration & wisdom for everyday people doing their daily routine to provide for themselves and their families, but still being inspired by what humanity is capable of when we apply ourselves, how we can make a difference by challenging the norms… and how leadership can be the catalyst behind it all.
3:34 "grab it by the flaps" 🤣😂🤣
"This is a matter of much debate" as he's trying to not laugh.
10:57 cooked thunderf00t lmfao
Thats just a channel made by some 12 yo thats only purpose is to hate.
@@jankokuu If it were actually run by a 12 year old it'd be less cringe
Skeptics are going to be a lot mad in the future, especially when they slowly start seeing the true state of progress at SpaceX.
@@jankokuu And yet so far he is right in his predictions. You might not like the guy, you might not like what he says, but he is right in a lot of stuff.
SpaceXs success with Starship is underwhelming when you strip away the theatrics, there’s serious and credible doubts that the ship will perform as intended for Artemis, much less for a mission to Mars, and we’re still waiting for answers to most expert questions regarding the program.
@@theondono
Well that’s one way to frame it.
However, they’re building a vehicle able to function to the same extent the space shuttle could and flying it several times a year early in its career, with potential for dozens of upper stages and boosters to be produced annually. Only five full functioning space shuttles were ever built, and there was a hard limit on cadence for each one.
I just thought back to the movie Gattaca when I saw the first two minutes of the video then the soundtrack was playing in my head. Such a beautiful filmed movie with an amazing soundtrack.
The interview of the century! Great job!
We need a Short youtube of Tim & Elon both saying "that's insane" (26:26) :D
Starship is the equivalent of going from row boats to giant sailing ships capable of crossing the Atlantic
from rafts to boats, starship cant go anywhere (yet) that other rockets couldn't go before either.
@@BartJBolsfirst totally reusable rocket though if he gets it working
At this point, im 99% sure he will get it fully reusable unless a black swan type of event. happens @Iroquois_Pliskin
maybe a raft to row boats is the better analogy
Buzz bombs to Vimanas.
Great video again. Especially the post IFT4 part!
I think whistling the 1812 Overture should be the space nerds version of a secret handshake
Side eye glance, smile
This isn't an insult and I can't be the first to notice
His brain is working so fast to explain and simplify as he goes
The brain to mouth has satellite delay
Such a brilliant vesionary and engineer
Not pre-rehearsed, pat response.
Elon has said his brain is difficult to live with, it’s too busy, there’s no rest.
@@iandavies4853 symphonies are his white noise 😅
I wonder if his thoughts were completely occupied with the launch. Seemed like the after launch interview he was able to communicate his thoughts a lot quicker.
@@JTube571 He just isnt a great speaker and that makes it even more impressive that he can inspire everyone around him.
@@panzrok8701 what's even more impressive is all the rubbish he posts on twitter
“Insane” a million times
Yeah 😰 I need a thesaurus. I get speechless in these moments and fluttered and fill it with “crazy” and “insane” 🤦♂️ MY B!
@@EverydayAstronaut love you and your work anyway! I would be awestruck too
@EverydayAstronaut just saying insane over and over honestly might be the best way to convey the sheer scale and what it's like to be standing at the base of starship.
@@EverydayAstronaut My tip would to remember that you don't have to fill in all gaps. It is OK to give the guy 5 seconds, he may fill in something interesting, himself.
@@geirmyrvagnes8718 Tim knows that - i personally would tend towards beflusterment around Elon
I love that you are able to show us this!
Every time Tim says the word "insane," take a drink.
"Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world"
- Elon Musk
Engineering is so fun. Math and science coexist and are interesting. An indispensable being on this earth
Magic is magnetic science you don't understand.
Too bad he doesn't know Jack about engineering or he'd actually be working on the project with the engineers
All hail the machine god
@@Coyote6745 you can see the intellectual limitations Tim has when discussing starship. Thankfully musk can make the information more accessible.
Best combo ever! Tim and Elon need a monthly update interview 👍🤙
Wonderful work as useful. Tim might need to look up 'insane' in the thesaurus though :)
Absolutely incredible. That perspective from the ground looking up at the rocket is mind blowing. I was hoping for more of those angles haha
Stephen Hawking: Humanity should colonize another planet asap within 100 years
Elon Musk: Fine, I'll do it myself
the 1,3000 coder engineers welders machinest control room concreeters sparkies goverment funding fans youtbers Sci fi fans and lotta other people would like say a word
Elon isn't doing any of this, all of this is designed by amazing engineers and other employees working at SpaceX.
@@RandomPerson-Vgotta give credit tho, he started and funded it.
