It is so weird. Elon is not a very good speaker, but you see him light up when he looks at the Dragon. He really loves what he is doing. I wish him and his company the best
I actually love this about Elon. He is the real deal - not Criss Angel, a snake oil salesman, or a politician. He is a serious nerd who is obsessed with rockets, solar, and electric cars. Also, for those of us who have been following him for years, he has actually VASTLY improved his public speaking abilities.
trha2222 I wouldn't say only 1960's technology, the Soyuz has been updated over the years with new versions. The Dragon V2 is still decades ahead, though. I was initially referring to how open and visually appealing the Dragon V2's interior is, though. It's like a modern-day Mercedes-Benz S-class compared to a Reliant Kitten.
I think Mr. Musk would be the first to point out that Soyuz is a thoroughly proven, reliable vehicle. Dragon II has huge potential, but it is not yet a working system. No need to denigrate the P-51 just because you've seen the unveiling of the F-86.
You can't stand up straight in a Soyuz, and you definitely can't fit seven people in one. It'll be interesting to see how much room is left after cargo is strapped to the walls.
trha2222 Wow there kid, I think you're on the wrong youtube video. Soyuz is still by far the best lifting vehicle we are in possession of. It uses "older" but proven technology and has yet to fail; that 2nd point is kind of important as humans being shredded on liftoff/reentry is not something pretty. Why hate? The Dragon V2 announcement is great for the whole planet! It means that we finally have a more efficient way of getting humans into space. Why attempt a horribad like-farm when you can just enjoy the technology on display?
***** You clearly don't know what he actually does at SpaceX and Tesla. He's a physics graduate and is deeply involved in the engineering in both of his companies. He is Chief Technology Officer at Space X and product Architect for Tesla. How is that simply "a manager who moves money around and tells people to invent things for him?" lol.
But also somehow like a luxury sedan. But a sedan that looks like a spaceship. It's incredible to see something so close to completion that actually has aesthetic considerations that survived the design process. It's clearly a private company's vehicle, and not a government's.
If you read his autobiography, you’d see that Robert Downey actually went to Elon in Spaceex to spend time with him and study his character. They even put a Tesla in Iron man so that Robert will feel more in character. Elon Musk is in fact Iron Man.
people want to be at apple event. i want to be at spacex event. an actual spacecraft hanging over your head is better than social media device everyone is going to use while delivering crap.
legba eshu "The American space race is a covert operation lead by the Nazis" "There's people on mars and they've been there for eons" The Nazi movement lost all power in the late 40s-early 50s, and humans haven't been around but for about 6 million years, while we've only had spaceflight for less than 100 years. Humans would die almost instantly without a suit on Mars as well.
Legba Eshu, firstly muppet I'm not American I'm British secondly there are undoubtedly a lot of stupid people in the world which you are confirming with you aggressive nonsensical remarks that embarrasses your race and your nation.
This is what it means to be human - not stopping on dreaming, but making your dreams come true, and not letting anyone get in the way. To learn the rules of reality and find a way to make it come true, through determination and persistence, not to beat others, but to make perfection a reality.
This is what space exploration always needed! Something mainstream and attractive looking. Add some sexy words like SpaceX or Dragon to get people attention. We are so close to space age i can feel it!! Maybe we'll finally find those illusive mass relays...
What annoys me is the big companies like the car industry, especially in America who still run on old school principles. Just like the media companies. You got someone pushing the boundaries in a few areas but the thing he has issues with the most are others are still clinging to old school principles, monopolies that still make them money. The human race would be far more advanced if it was not for people wanting to get rich.
Liam Dilley It's a huge problem with the aerospace industry because typically, companies there follow exactly what the clients requested. They don't generally go beyond spec or don't test concepts in usability, nor are expected to. No client told SpaceX "we want a reusable spacecraft." SpaceX builds it not because clients want it now, but because they bet that clients WILL pay for it, in the future.
Cem Yuceer Look closely. There are cables that run from the middle of each curtain to barrels offstage. The curtain is released from the top, then the two halves are whisked aside. I'm guessing its a rented setup, not something they designed for the occasion, but I wouldn't put it past them.
He doesn't know how to react to the cheers of the audience, still Ellon e all his team deserves a lot more than claps, they deserve our gratitude and acknowledgment of making dreams come true and making accessible space travel possible! Thank you very much!
+k hall - When you have the freedom to make your dreams a reality, and you are not answering to government budget cuts - anything is possible.

Watching this now in 2023 and crew dragon is the prime was for us to get astronauts into space and star liner is still on the ground. Course space x abandoned the propulsive landing and went with splashdown, but from 2020 till now they get astronauts to space
Why oh why oh why do I read the comments after watching such an inspirational man with such a great video showing a great wonder of man made creation, then only to be crushed and brought back to earth with a great thud by the realisation that there are so many stupid people prepared to make such stupid comments. Last time I read the comments before I lose all faith in humanity.
Muppet, I hear what you're saying. Our buddy, Earl, is just such one character . . . . myopic and clueless. For those of us who were around for all of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo launches, and watched them on TV like I have, what SpaceX is doing is exciting stuff. Just ignore the naysayers and encourage the doers!
I was born at the start of the space age. 1957 My old man, May he rest in peace, was crazy about space. He was one of a few guys, who made a sattelite listeningstation in Denmark, in the 60ties. And it rubbed of on me. I saw Niel taking the great leap, and i was totally crazy about the whole thing. And then nothing happened after Apollo. I thought the whole exploration thing had died. Then ELON MUSK, God bless him, came along, and kicked sleepy old NASA in the butt. Things are finally happening again. Thanks Elon. 👍👩🏻🚀✨💫
Sexy looking interior. Never thought touchscreens would be introduced that quickly when it comes to spaceflight. I suppose these will recognize fingers even when it's in gloves and made more sensitive. I heard NASA cancelled touch screens entirely and instead went for physical switches again (for mostly everything) in their Orion module due to that reason and any mishaps that might involve something hitting the screen and activating something it shouldn't, or worse, disabling all control. Still, SpaceX came up with this and it's reuseable rockets amazingly fast. It looks like commercial spaceflight is taking over state-funded space programs rapidly. And with good reason, they don't have to deal with mood swings and general lack of knowledge & understanding shown by congress. I'm just glad Elon Musk chose to spend his money on this.
Vib3s Yes that's why in this ship they doubled all the most important systems as physical buttons, as you can see, in the middle. I see no issue with a touchscreen though - it's probably made extremely strong that even hitting it with a rock won't break it, and it can be quicker to use... I guess it depends. But I trust SpaceX they probably did the research lol
well as he explained, all the emergency controls are still buttons in the middle so if anything touches the screen it shouldn't activate self destruct or anything. Either way, it doesn't take much for any sort of debris to interact with any of the functions if it hits it hard enough
Amazing... I feel like I'm witnessing the first stages of a new era in space travel... I wonder if it was like this for my parents when the space shuttle was revealed.
Finally, a spacecraft that looks like it was designed and engineered- for the 21st century! (it had to be created near Hollywood). GO SPACEX, GO FAR, GO FAST - FORWARD into the FUTURE.
Watching this the day Dragon 2 docked to the ISS for the first time. Absolutely incredible watching it live and just as Elon and Space X said they would do it. Occupy Mars !
Forget the technology problems, we have human problems that will likely take far longer to solve. The standard Jetsons/Star Trek/Lost In Space image of the future paints a picture of an enlightened sensible people less interested in personal greed and base instincts, and more interested in bettering themselves... it's taken a few decades to accurately plot the difference in the two curves, but it's pretty clear that we're not headed for any 'star trek' type of future :(
it's wonderful the professor was getting high ability and extremely attention was generated on the audience with high motivation and most of the audience take notes of this lecture, we appreciate this lecturer.
Shame they couldn't do the propulsion landing, but it's understandable. They aren't doing human missions back to back so even if the risk of propulsion landing is minimal it's still probably not worth it.
trha2222 The problem if they have an IPO is that they suddenly have a responsibility to their shareholders, where as now they have huge freedom to do what they like, regardless of whether it will make money or not
They said they'd go public after they have their Mars colony transport system running smoothly. Otherwise if there's ever a failure stocks would fluctuate like crazy. (I'm not joking I believe that's what they said and they do have plans for such a thing)
I saw this when I was 15, and although it wasnt the first thing to inspire me to become an astronaut, it still holds a special place in my heart as one of the major events in my journey to becoming an astronaut
"oooh that went bad sooo fast!"..." 15 reporters smashed by falling space craft"... first thing that came into my head... I can't be the ONLY one... Can I?
They have it hanging there normally already, I'm pretty sure it would have fallen much sooner if it wasn't completely secure XD gotta remember that the Smithsonian and other museums have even larger, heavier things hanging from their ceilings!
I've said the same thing, many times. At least I'd feel like I am somehow contributing to the advancement of the human race, even if my part in it is only minute.
You know it's great seeing that about 90% of the comments here are great and with such enthusiasm. However the other 10%, you really do have to wonder how they have managed to muster the intelligence to turn on their iPads!
Damn I wish I could work for SpaceX. I only have one more year of high school, then I'm going to study aerospace engineering for 5 years in college... Ugh six years to wait when all this is going on around me is killing me.
"That's is how a 21st-Century Spacecraft should land!" Hahaha, i sense a dig at the Soyuz. Can't wait to see Astronauts ride a real, Space-age vehicle!
Probably because there are only a very few billionaires prepared to risk everything to further space exploration. Says something about the very few that do, especially Musk, as he very nearly did lose it all.
13:37 You outbling StarTrek and various other science fiction movies. It looks like the IronMan interface on Tesla Model S screens. :-D I am impressed by the futuristic look and your humble way to present it. Well done! I am looking forward to seeing it in action!
0:13 till 0:15 that is the WORST transition for a rocket launch vid. I would like SpaceX to stay proactive on safety and never experience an accident like I thought I just saw here.
Clarifications for NOBOX7: I don't think I've ever seen so many stupid errors in such a short post. Officially, space starts at 62 miles, not 30. The ISS is at 200 miles. Escape velocity is 25,000mph, but Dragon is not attempting to go to interplanetary space beyond Earth's gravity. Dragon goes to ORBIT on top of a Falcon 9 rocket - the animation starts after separation from the F9 upper stage. Orbital velocity at 200 miles is approx. 17,100 mph. After leaving the ISS, Dragon does a de-orbit burn using its Draco control thrusters and falls back into the atmosphere. During re-entry it continues using its control thrusters to approach the ground with an accuracy of about 1/2 mile. By the time it is a few miles from the ground it has been slowed by air resistance to about 200 mph - Dragon 1 deploys parachutes and splashes into the ocean. Dragon 2 will have 8 SuperDraco engines, each capable of over 16,000 lbf of thrust. They use a hypergolic fuel (which does exist - it's been used for decades), a mixture of Nitrogen Tetroxide (N2O4) and Monomethyl Hydrazine (MMH). If Dragon has to escape from the Falcon 9 rocket on the way up, the SuperDracos can accelerate Dragon at 6g. Gravity on the way down is only 1g, although it's even less than that because of air resistance. The SuperDraco engines easily have enough thrust to slow Dragon for touchdown.
This is fantastic, I got to say that SpaceX is way beyond NASA and the Russians. The design of the craft is so clean and well thought out, can't wait to see it fly and especially land. Great work to you and your team.
This was around the time I first heard of SpaceX. I was reading an article a few days after the reveal. Fast forward to 2019, crew Dragon took an uncrewed test flight to the ISS and landed back on Earth. A successful mission start to finish. In a few months, they'll do the manned crew test flight beating Boeing!!
It is so weird. Elon is not a very good speaker, but you see him light up when he looks at the Dragon. He really loves what he is doing. I wish him and his company the best
I actually think he's a pretty good speaker. Non of the fluff and BS of a politician. Just straight to the point what you want and need to know.
Weel, maybe he is an honest speaker, but he doesnt really have the charisma of say Steve Jobs or Neil Degrasse Tyson.

SkyHook I sure am! Geez, I'm seeing KSP players everywhere on UA-cam nowadays XD met two KSP players on Assetto Corsa videos even!
Yea I know! The community is growing. Hopefully .24 wins back players like myself, I think it will be a gamechanger. At any rate, happy launching!
I thought he was going to make a joke about hoping it was secured properly
Amazing.
Great work ladies and gentlemen!
Come to think of it, I'd scrub the bathrooms to work at SpaceX.
I've said the same thing, many times. At least I'd feel like I am somehow contributing to the advancement of the human race, even if my part in it is only minute.
I wish I could go to the Space station. I know it isnt luxurious but it is by far the most interesting piece of technology in the world.
You know it's great seeing that about 90% of the comments here are great and with such enthusiasm. However the other 10%, you really do have to wonder how they have managed to muster the intelligence to turn on their iPads!
You guys at SpaceX are awesome! Congratulations on all the success you all have accomplished. Best of luck to the Artemis program
Great Job SpaceX....
And its crazy that we saw it take off and dock just a few days ago. Truly amazing.
Fuuuaaaarrrk. Dat technology. What a Lad.
Wow.. So modern and clean.... The future of space flight :D
Omg the day Elon unveiled Crew Dragon is the day when Crew Dragon is launched 😎😯🤯 ELONNNNNNN
A space age interior for a space ship absolutely awesome elon and co u do the best work :)
Damn I wish I could work for SpaceX. I only have one more year of high school, then I'm going to study aerospace engineering for 5 years in college... Ugh six years to wait when all this is going on around me is killing me.
If you live here in the Los Angeles area, see if you can get on now as an intern or volunteer.
did you make it to spacex?
No parachute
Zero Death
Technology 👍👍👍 you're the best
"That's is how a 21st-Century Spacecraft should land!"
Hahaha, i sense a dig at the Soyuz.
Can't wait to see Astronauts ride a real, Space-age vehicle!
I love that reentry idea that's what I've wanted to see along time.
This is a story about how ONE man can change the world!! Good Luck Elon with ALL your projects!! We count on you :)
With a little bit of imagination applied to the possibilities, it becomes evident that this is the most exciting and historic video of 2014.
what a sexy piece of engineering
Good luck Saturday!
totally sick man. Why aren't there more people like this?
Probably because there are only a very few billionaires prepared to risk everything to further space exploration. Says something about the very few that do, especially Musk, as he very nearly did lose it all.
Your comments are every where in this comment section muppet.
13:37 You outbling StarTrek and various other science fiction movies. It looks like the IronMan interface on Tesla Model S screens. :-D
I am impressed by the futuristic look and your humble way to present it.
Well done! I am looking forward to seeing it in action!
Fuck yeah..we're in the future now
Even the falling of the curtain is well thought of and smooth. Damn this is cool.
0:13 till 0:15 that is the WORST transition for a rocket launch vid. I would like SpaceX to stay proactive on safety and never experience an accident like I thought I just saw here.
You may be insane. Consult a doctor.
a blast of light emanating from the rocket fuel tank?
No, I think he's right. For a second, it looked like the rocket exploded. Momentarily alarming.
Agreed. Otherwise truly excellent news!!
Seriously, you need to relax.
Неожиданно крутая штука получилась, особенно поражает внутреннее оборудование пилотируемого модуля.
Clarifications for NOBOX7:
I don't think I've ever seen so many stupid errors in such a short post.
Officially, space starts at 62 miles, not 30. The ISS is at 200 miles.
Escape velocity is 25,000mph, but Dragon is not attempting to go to interplanetary space beyond Earth's gravity. Dragon goes to ORBIT on top of a Falcon 9 rocket - the animation starts after separation from the F9 upper stage. Orbital velocity at 200 miles is approx. 17,100 mph.
After leaving the ISS, Dragon does a de-orbit burn using its Draco control thrusters and falls back into the atmosphere. During re-entry it continues using its control thrusters to approach the ground with an accuracy of about 1/2 mile. By the time it is a few miles from the ground it has been slowed by air resistance to about 200 mph - Dragon 1 deploys parachutes and splashes into the ocean. Dragon 2 will have 8 SuperDraco engines, each capable of over 16,000 lbf of thrust. They use a hypergolic fuel (which does exist - it's been used for decades), a mixture of Nitrogen Tetroxide (N2O4) and Monomethyl Hydrazine (MMH).
If Dragon has to escape from the Falcon 9 rocket on the way up, the SuperDracos can accelerate Dragon at 6g. Gravity on the way down is only 1g, although it's even less than that because of air resistance. The SuperDraco engines easily have enough thrust to slow Dragon for touchdown.
I love this spacecraft! This video answered all my questions from the previous video which was posted on the channel.
Anyone coming after seeing the demo 2 launch?
This is EPIC!! Can't wait to see it fly :D
I want to be an astronaut now
What an incredible company.
For those asking: the curtain was pulled away at both sides.
Awesome work guys and gals!
Wow! Excellent job Elon and all engineers involved!
This is fantastic, I got to say that SpaceX is way beyond NASA and the Russians. The design of the craft is so clean and well thought out, can't wait to see it fly and especially land. Great work to you and your team.
i'm close to tears
This was around the time I first heard of SpaceX. I was reading an article a few days after the reveal. Fast forward to 2019, crew Dragon took an uncrewed test flight to the ISS and landed back on Earth. A successful mission start to finish. In a few months, they'll do the manned crew test flight beating Boeing!!
