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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
the last time a journalist interviewed him asking tough questions he fired the guy and left the interview but maybe Some Guy with a TH-cam channel will blow up with their super hard-hitting, honest questions lol
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!
My dad was a aerospace engineer for Rockwell and specifically worked on the black tiles that were on the space shuttle. After his death in 2010 I found out he was on the investigation team for the challenger and the Columbia incident. We used to have a black tile sitting in his office at home. with the serial number. I can only imagine what he would think if he got the chance to see what’s going on with SpaceX. Love your interview I always love hearing Elon speak. about topics. When my dad worked, they were still using slide rollers and you would have to sign up to get on the computer the big main frame. Living in Austin. It would be such a thrill to meet Elon. It’s amazing how different the attitude is compared to when my dad worked. There were so much red tape just to do anything. Elon‘s like Howard Hughes of today. Another person that I used to look up to. Thanks again every day astronaut for your hard work and thorough interviews. That factory was amazing.
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!!!
NASA visited the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, a comet, and several asteroids Several Soviet and U.S. robotic spacecraft have landed on Venus and the Moon, and the United States has landed spacecraft on the surface of Mars EIGHT TIME!
@@joannewilson6577 NASA is a national-level agency with a mandate to explore the Solar System. SpaceX is a private company which was founded with a hope to energize public opinion to provide greater support for NASA. of course, as a business they develop and launch rockets, and have also created a vast satellite internet system. They are the best thing that has happened to NASA in a long, long time.
@@joannewilson6577 and??? Space x is a private company that's 22 years old. With more flights than nasa has even flown with one of their rockets. Space x doesn't develop rovers or probes, that's what nasa is for.
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.
NASA has made eight successful landings on Mars, starting with the two Viking landers in 1976. Pathfinder landed in 1997 with its small rover called Sojourner. The solar-powered rovers Spirit and Opportunity landed in 2004, with Opportunity working for an amazing fourteen and a half years. NASA visited the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, a comet, and several asteroids
Finally someone sensible. Most people just turns into lunatics when it comes to SpaceX just because of Elon's name in it. Rare to see someone actually appreciating progress instead of having an crazy tunnel vision which prevents them for thinking for themselves. (Like the person above)
Hey Tim, there is a merch suggestion. Make a shirt showing a Super Heavy stack and the word "insane" repeated all over the rest of the shirt in every open space in all sorts of fonts and sizes. Then give one to Elon and have him wear it in your next interview. I bet he'd wear it
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!!!
What a treat to be able to walk up the the Starship like this, even if its on the other side of a screen. Thanks for making this happen @EverydayAstronaut
I really think that Tim is allowed that much access because Elon sees his passion, they speak the same "nerdy" language and he doesn't ask the same 50 questions that he's always hearing from other reporters from general media. If I had one suggestion for Tim: be less in awe and have more questions ready, even though I realize this is a format between interview and just hanging out.
Musk talks a lot about cadence. I did the math and I'd love to see you do a piece on what it looks like to get 1,000,000 people on Mars by 2050. By my estimate it's at least 50,000 launches or about 1 launch every 5 MINUTES! during the Hohmann launch windows starting around 2030.
That really stretches it. Elon, the SpaceX CEO, is definitely pushing the boundaries in a positive way. Elon, the X/Twitter CEO, is, at least in my opinion, part of the reason why the world is in such a bad place…
@@tombrauey What makes Twitter's heading a (relevant) part of the reason why the world is [the best its ever been but apparently also] such a bad place? Assume I don't care much about Twitter, doesn't follow its details, and that I'm just curious to hear your perspective

Really nice interview man, you show him respect with the deep questions At this moment i am reading Elon his biography and i understand the hard work and dedication, wow! Where can i find and buy the little rocket on 18:12?
I feel like these videos could benefit from color correction because there are inconsistencies between the two cameras where one has footage this is much darker whereas the other looks much lighter which makes is a little unpleasant on the eyes when switching between them but the content itself is fantastic.
Tim has the best life getting to interview Elon Musk down in Texas. What a great inside story the day before Flight 4's success. Well done to everyone!
Elon was definitely in a better state of mind for the post interview. Don't get me wrong, i understand he had quite a bit on his mind before the launch. Just didn't seem as friendly as usual on the pre launch interview. But to both of you thanks for the awesome interview / content / insiders view. You guys rock (et) 🤣
I cant believe you were standing basically underneath/next to Starship just 12 hours before it launched! absolutely nuts and radical! keep it up man, we all love it.
Very interesting that with 2 layers of the ablative material 29:56 ship can survive a tile loss - That redundancy is massive in the success of reentry, even if it comes with a weight penalty. I suspect they will only have to use 2 layers (or some ITAR protected new material) on critical areas
Watching that booster being caught in the next few months is going to be absolutely mind blowing. Definitely worth a trip over to boca chica to watch it
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.
@@joannewilson6577 and the saturn V is not reusable? puts 100 less tonnes into orbit? orders of magnitude more expensive to design, build and operate? soooo, your point is?
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
I've been working at SpaceX for 5 years now and have never seen this inside. We are only allowed to enter our section of the facility. Thanks for showing me.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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
@@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....
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!
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!
@@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.
The way that Elon is totally nerdy and puts a TH-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 TH-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
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
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.
I awoke the morning of June 6th, watched your livestream, and then graduated high school. What a day! For the last six years, you've been such an inspiring presence in my life that I will be starting my degree in Aerospace Engineering this fall. Thank you for all that you do for the spaceflight community, Tim, and I look forward to many more years to come.
Hi Tim. Love and respect your work. I do find myself wondering if there's a course you could take on good interview technique. So that you can be more confident and better prepared when you have these amazing opportunities.
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.
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. 🤷🏼♂
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
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.
@@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).
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.
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!!!!

Best combo ever! Tim and Elon need a monthly update interview 👍🤙
You should interview Tom Mueller at Impulse Space. I think that would be an awesome interview
I like how we can noticeably see how his mood shifted post launch, he’s more giddy. Prelaunch he looked stressed and tired.

I think whistling the 1812 Overture should be the space nerds version of a secret handshake
Side eye glance, smile
Then it would change into 1776 Overture 🤝

Where can i find and buy the little rocket on 18:12?
Like in a science fiction book illustration.
Elon is the hero we need!
Elon wins "The Best Toys" contest. Mad respect.
I feel like these videos could benefit from color correction because there are inconsistencies between the two cameras where one has footage this is much
darker whereas the other looks much lighter which makes is a little unpleasant on the eyes when switching between them but the content itself is fantastic.
Tim has the best life getting to interview Elon Musk down in Texas. What a great inside story the day before Flight 4's success. Well done to everyone!
My jaw would be on the floor and I'd have tears in my eyes seeing this up close
Elon was definitely in a better state of mind for the post interview. Don't get me wrong, i understand he had quite a bit on his mind before the launch. Just didn't seem as friendly as usual on the pre launch interview. But to both of you thanks for the awesome interview / content / insiders view. You guys rock (et) 🤣
I cant believe you were standing basically underneath/next to Starship just 12 hours before it launched! absolutely nuts and radical! keep it up man, we all love it.
Very interesting that with 2 layers of the ablative material 29:56 ship can survive a tile loss - That redundancy is massive in the success of reentry, even if it comes with a weight penalty. I suspect they will only have to use 2 layers (or some ITAR protected new material) on critical areas
It’s a privilege to have being with Elon Musk Wuaoo you are fortunate and give us that experience , thank you !
Watching that booster being caught in the next few months is going to be absolutely mind blowing. Definitely worth a trip over to boca chica to watch it
of all the people in the wold that could be the richest, I'm glad it's Elon 😊

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.

This is so cool that Elon actually gave his time to a lone TH-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
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.
I've been working at SpaceX for 5 years now and have never seen this inside. We are only allowed to enter our section of the facility. Thanks for showing me.
Who’s the real boss him or shotwell?
I'm curious, why can't you?
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.
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
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....
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!

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.
Elon: "It's easy to be an armchair rocket engineer."
Tim: "Ya, but....."
The way that Elon is totally nerdy and puts a TH-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 TH-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.
Thanks, part 2 realised quicker than I expected.
I awoke the morning of June 6th, watched your livestream, and then graduated high school. What a day! For the last six years, you've been such an inspiring presence in my life that I will be starting my degree in Aerospace Engineering this fall. Thank you for all that you do for the spaceflight community, Tim, and I look forward to many more years to come.
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.
The tune he is whistling is 1812 overture by Tchaikovsky. It’s an absolute banger.

It's the song they chose for the SpaceX compilation video of Falcon 9 development mishaps.
Thanks for the correction.
I am so excited for whenever we can finally see a tour of inside a Starship, once it's getting ready to test for human living conditions.
6:44 Using the earth as the earth in the example made me laugh.

Hi Tim. Love and respect your work. I do find myself wondering if there's a course you could take on good interview technique. So that you can be more confident and better prepared when you have these amazing opportunities.
Naw, guy got in front of Musk and this far just being himself, no posing. He’s got confidence, just understated
Like the casual, unpolished feel
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 !!!

@@Kabab💯
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).
Starship itself just looks like a rocket from a sci-fi comic magazine, the square and angled pointed edges and the shiny metal just looks insane

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.
