- Kimbal Musk discusses the beginning stages of SpaceX and working with brother Elon Musk, with insight into the difference of opinion between SpaceX and the government. Kimbal talks about nearly missing the 4th launch in 2008 following a trip to Disneyland and how the launch left them in tears and a $1.6 billion contract with NASA.

Governments don't care, its not their money they spend.
its more than that, its more different. The government is change-averse. Changing anything is a nightmare.
@@sudind As Elon often said, they're a corporation on the limit.
Government don’t care cause once they done giving contracts most of those people go work for the companies they would contract with as a government official once they retire.
It’s there’s to siphon off
It actually doesn’t matter until it causes inflation. I’ve never seen a business with a policy of not accepting “government spent” dollars.
Unintentional Humble Brag:
"I don't think we used the words Non-Profit, because we didn't know what that meant..."
Unintentional? You musk fans are so much dumber than I could’ve imagined. Everything about the musks is marketing.
Nah. That quote was from very very early in the life of SpaceX. Possibly before it was formed.
We all owe SpaceX a pat on the back!
Yes, and we owe the govt whatever the opposite of that is. Such a system of economic perversity and destruction.
We don’t. At all.
@@svenp6504 at the rate spacex is blowing up rockets would've put nasa out of business...
@@ville9738 Killed less astronauts than NASA...
@@ville9738 because nasa is majority a tax waste.
Great to see & hear Kimbal. Thanks, Graham.
Excellent interview.
The more I hear the more impressed I am. Image is everything in the military.
Amazing story 🎉
I think I've heard this in the '90s, that the launches and LEO should be done by privat providers in 2010. LEO was actually that already by 1990. Human space flight still had to change. We're watching that right now.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
...off-course the government doesn't care about money, simply because it's not their money but the taxpayer's money.
So despicable!
I read once that it was thought up in the 80's, planned in the 90's and was supposed to be executed in the 00's. Then 9/11 happened.
First time I heard the now famous story from Kimball’s view point.
What a cool story and interview. Good stuff
something people forget. money in the eyes of the military is irrelevant from the standpoint that their bosses the other branches of goverment.. makes the money!!!!
More like they increase the currency supply and stealth rob the entire nation at will through inflation and or just raise more taxes and openly rob the nation.
@dammitbobby283 Fiat currency is printed every day money needs to be mined smelted and stamped and is inherently useful for things other than being money.
Awesome interview. It’s crazy to think how much money government wastes each year. I hope we can pivot to newer companies who do it better.
Amazing story.
Maybe because of the way he is dressed, but when he reached for his cup, I thought he had a rub in and was going to spit. lol....
He just defined Jeff Bezos' business model - cost+
NASA once saved SpaceX, and now SpaceX is giving them the hand
Maybe with Falcon 9, but Starship is a boondoggle.
@@Danny-bd1chHow is starship a boondoggle lmao? Starship is going to make every other rocket on the market obsolete, and nothing will catch up with it for at least a decade or two
@@Danny-bd1ch You would have said the same about Falcon in the beginning and been closer to correct.
@@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze How is it not a boondoggle? I guess when you set the bar low, and clearing the pad is all the success you wanted.
@@Danny-bd1ch You didn’t answer the question I asked first, how is it a boondoggle? Starship still has less failures than Falcon 1, and it has an extremely high likelihood of making it to orbit this time. It did last time too but they terminated the vehicle because they did a regrettable lox dump because they didn’t have a payload and instead filled the vehicle with extra lox to keep weight within the flight profile, and the dump started a fire. If they had chosen to put a benign object in the payload bay instead of lox, the vehicle would have made it all the way to suborbit with a successful meco. On top of that, people said exactly what you are saying now about falcon 9, except it was about 10 times as much. Then, falcon 9 succeeded and revolutionized the launch market, and everyone shut their mouths about it, now with starship, critics are a lot more quiet, but still love to whine about SpaceXs rapid iteration testing process, which involves a lot of explosions because they are basically just constantly testing to failure. But soon enough, starship will be fleshed out, and start flying commercial flights, and it will be like Falcon 9 times 100. It will make falcon 9 seem as useless as the atlas V. The vehicle completely redefines spaceflight in almost every aspect of its design and operation, and yet is still about to become an operational vehicle years before some vehicles that it already makes obsolete. There’s nothing about starship that makes it a boondoggle.
kimbal is not gimbaling around
You making jokes about African American names? Reported.
In 2008 Startup worked on apps, and success was measured in microtransactions. So glad companies like SpaceX showed up to give engineers something better to strive for.
hi - where can we watch your full videos
Yes sir
The government officials don’t care aka Generals. A lot of them go and join these companies when they retire and get payed lots of money because they gave contracts to these companies. Why you think they want them to cost billions and not trynna save money? Cause now the competitors have to lower their price and the generals want to make more money when they become civilians working for these companies.
Burt Rutan ran into that same problem when trying to get military contracts with a plane. They told him his plane was great, but they wanted it to cost millions more so they passed on it.
Wow his South African accent is way stronger than his bros
It used to be a lot stronger. Have you heard their mother and their cousins? They have strong accents!
I was thinking the opposite.
So let's summarise this John McCain is the legend
His boots better have spurs
Interesting how much Elon and Kimbal sound alike
😮😮😮
Still sounds like a South African
Thank God for flight 4… what an emotional ride….
He kinda...kinda... looks like Tom Cruise
Ő Elon, vagy Kimbal nagyon ügyesen megtanulta Elon karakterét! 😁😁😁
Hasonlítanak, de azért nem annyira. A kalapos Kimbal, ha ez segít. :)
@@aetius215 Nem érted a lényeget, nem azt mondtam hogy ki látható ebben az interjúban,hanem azt ,hogy előfordulhat hogy Elon ül ott,és szokasuk szerint az AI összedolgozza egy grafikai real- time programmal őket,úgy hogy a néző azt hiszi Kimbal ül ott! Ismerem őket,nagyon is,túl jól ismerem az egesz családot,csak nem tudsz mondatot ,szöveget értelmezni,hogy mit írtam! 🗝️🗝️🗝️
@@aetius215 Egyebként több Elon van, az emberi klónozás már a Thule ,Vril időszaktól elindult, nagyon sokfajta Elon van, az egyik Elon hord csak cowboy kalapot, akinek a szeme fényérzékeny ,sérült a szemrész, és mindig napszemüveget visel! 🗝️🗝️🗝️
@@aetius215 Mondom tovább! Kimbal szeme eredetileg barna, barna haj, kreol bőr! Mindegyik Musk adobtált gyerek,kiserleti adobtált gyerek,akiket nevelőszülőkhöz adtak ki! Ez azt jelenti,hogy vér szerint az eredeti Kimbal és a klón Elonok," huguk nem testvérek! Ezért történt meg az az eset hogy kamasz korukban Kimbalnak kapcsolata volt a hugával, az egyik Elon klónt megrontotta szexuálisan Maye,aki nem volt a vér szerinti anyja,de felnőttként rontotta meg Elont fiatalkorúként! És ezek élnek a társadalom felső szintjén! A másik Elon klón a nála jóval idősebb tanár- mentorával folytatott szexuális kapcsolatot! Van olyan Elon klón is, aki eredetileg nő,de hormonpótlás ,és egyéb beavatkozás által férfi Elon lett! Van olyan Elon is ,aki kurvazik, iszik,drogozik, olyan,mint egy maffiafőnök! Van ADHD- s Elon is! Van olyan Elon,aki pontosan abban az intézményben kapta meg a tanulmányairól szóló dokumentumot,mint amiben " véletlenül egyezző módom" Donald Trump is végezte tanulmányait! Nem véletlen hogy ott vannak,ahol vannak,nem maguk sikere előre kiválasztott karakterek,egy előre megírt forgatókönyv haladási módszer szerint! Pénzeket átmossák a társadalmi karakterük,funkciójuk szerint, és cserébe gazdagon élhetnek,csak a nevüket kell adniuk ,mintha ők lennének a hozzáértő,szakmai ,és üzleti emberek,tulajdonosok! Meséljek még a Musk és Reeve családról? 🗝️🗝️🗝️
Nice costume. 😂
The good Musk brother.
Military has become the problem. They don't care how much they get charged as long as they get their way. They want a certain truck made they will pay 4 million for it even if it only costs 100k just so they can get it Mil-STD
I like his statement that "they didn't care about price"
That's economics 101. The only effective spenders of money are the people that EARN THAT money. When you can tax and get money you don't have a care in the world about how much something costs.

Can he not afford to get that removed?
It is beyond that. He can more than afford to get it removed, but still keeps it around, just because. It is like a pet now.
The top brass wanted to spend hundreds times more money so that when they retired, they can join the company with fat salary.
Tesla clients helped deliver cars and save Tesla. Bring in your Tesla with battery issues and watch how they tell you to f-off if you’re out of warranty.
in depth - 6minutes long
He just looks like elon 😊
What the general say i want control? Dont care about cost ? This is why they cant pass a audit for yrs sto the military complex and there greed for control of the purse
Everyone know it is the brother of Elon only without knowing you see, hear the same things. You just see it…. Like their sister Tosca you see hear it aswel.
Imagine if we controlled how they spent our tax dollar's. Would we have given more spacex achieved its goals? i think we should let spacex free to operate at the speed needed
Was he doing impersonations? lol
There is no Kimball Musk. This is Elon with a cowboy hat. You can't fool me. Maybe a first run on Elon's secret cloning program. Once again, excellent work Elon.
God bless mother Musk
That's adorable that Kimball likes to play dress up.
Cry about it.
He's done more with his life than you, and while wearing a cowboy hat, amazing.
@@JamesTudsbury well, Kimball does have multiple failed businesses. His brother had to bail him out multiple times. Have you lost all sense of humor? Is he immune from being made fun of? Surely you can see the ridiculousness of Elon and his brother moving to Texas and then all of a sudden they've become cowboys. I do respect Elon and I respect his brother for being there for Elon.
@@benlawton5420 that's rich Ben
@galapalafala Did Mr. Kimballs style hurt your wittle feewings 😥
Wish Elon was as well spoken as Kimbal, also wish Kimbal was the face of tesla with Elon head of Engineering
Likely they interchange roles on whim ...
@dammitbobby283why do you say that
@dammitbobby283lol ok pal. keep living in a bubble.
@dammitbobby283 he on Nasa Engineering Board, Has Honorary Doctorate in Engineering at Yale, has membership in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, member of National Academy of Engineering, has a degree in Physics.
Its disgusting what you guys did to me , I want out
Love me some John McCain. American hero and saving America money.
gg
This guy would maybe get taken more seriously if he didnt dress like Woody from toy story.. like what are you doing.
He is dressing in a way he likes and not in a way you like it. Weird, I know.
Maybe you be taken seriously if you had a username that didn't look like a random bot...
Is this guy npc? Always wears same cowboy hat as if he is some one from a farm.
He is a farmer dummy
What I like is that he left off working in the pens with the cattle, to do this interview. Like Jeff Bezos in a cowboy hat. Some clowns just shouldn't be allowed to play cowboy...even on TV. It's pathetic. Honestly.
I'm so sad for their parents. They inadvertently raised not one but two complete idiots. 😢
Never knew that being richest person on earth, building rockets, AI, revolutionizing electric car industry and so on makes you an idiot. Weird. Live and learn I guess.
@@Zripas do that. It may help.
I do not trust people who wear hats indoors.
Этот мужик со своей шляпой выглядит как клоун!
Кимбл, - таким именем нормального человека не назовут...
I feel like I woke up in an alternate universe. In the world I left 8 hours ago, Musk was an only child... 8/ WTF is going on? Next Im going to find out Donald Trump was president and a senile old man took over for the conman..
Take his word for it....because the Musk brothers never lie, fake accent...take that hat off, you're lying to yourself!
liars
Oh Please! When asked about his contribution to charity, E-lawn responds "SpaceX and Tesla is philanthropy, if you consider love for humanity as philanthropy".
Imagine if he had donated the $44 Billion rather than buying Twitter. Then he would deserve the devotion of his Simps as well as the entire world community.
If he gave $44billion to charity, it would be absorbed by corruption and there would still be poor people. By creating jobs he is allowing people to help themselves by working.
But if he didn't buy Twitter we wouldn't see people like you seething over losing control.
...off-course the government doesn't care about money, simply because it's not their money but the taxpayer's money.
So despicable!
It's NOT how human nature works. It's how grifters work! 😂
Lot of grifters.
Lol no you don't understand, it the taxpayers money so i don't care, we wont lobby as hard to take care of our vets, we certainly don't care if it falls into the wrong hands. matter of fact we will leave it behind if we leave a country we basically occupied and i need to control this..... that's what i got out of what that general said.
not understanding that it can be cheaper for the citizens he took an oath to protect is just a disgrace.
Smoke & Mirrors. No one is going to Mars. Very questionable if they ever Actually landed on the moon….. why don’t they just do it again then?
Are you one of those who thinks that earth is flat too?...
We landed on the moon, multiple times with manned ships and dozens with unmanned. Why are we not going back there with people? Because there isn't any real point when you can do same things with robots and it will cost fraction to do it...
For someone so wealthy you’d think he could get someone to pluck that tick off his lower eyelid
I hate the musks
Why?
Hating someone who has contributed a lot to science and technology is so ironic for someone who named their TH-cam handle... science saves. Pretty dumb to be honest
@@emmanuelrufai6471 exactly. They haven’t contributed. They are welfare billionaires. They have taken, taken, taken. If the musks had a major contribution to the world, I would appreciate them for that, yet …
Because you hate science.
Because I hate conmen
Wannabe elon musk 🤡
Is Kimbal gay?
Wow, and I thought Elon was inept. His brother is like a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of Elon.
Random weirdo calls people doing more than he can achieve even given 10 lifetimes inept.. What a m*ron you are.😂😂
It’s clear you don’t know what the word “inept” means
And you’re inept
Kimbal seems to the the more intelligent and much more emotionally stable of the Musk brothers. He should be the head of Tesla and Space X. Not the toddler on Ketamine.
Just because you're a pilot doesn't mean you're a qualified heart surgeon.
There's a reason why Elon Musk has come this far.
They should have you run Tesla, you seem so smart😂😂
Not watching but let me guess the musk Brothers depending on more government money? And feeling entitled to it?
god your life must be depressing
Actually… NO! He tells how the government forces prices to be out of control.
You misspelled "SpaceX saving the tax payer billions by undoing the cost + structure of the military industrial complex".
wow! Total opposite.
@AllForTheGame - people like you are HUGE problem.
When did Elon Musk and Tom Cruise have a baby?
