This video is phenomenal. Perfect. The silence and quiet parts of the video are really important, and I love that there are no cuts. It feels so much more real. Thank you so much Tim.
convert the quiet parts to asking the guys around Elon who they are, how they got there, how they built this, who builds it. Show more of the staff 😀✌️
Imagine someone watching this video in a hundred years and saying, "This is where it all started". Elon may very well be the Zefram Cochrane of our age. The continuation and survival of humanity must have an escape hatch, just in case.
And then he says, “The probability is uncertain it’s about zero.” If you listen closely to the lying crackhead he sounds like he’s someone that huffs gasoline.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ so.. you think a SpaceX thread needs you to change the subject? How would you like me to alter all your religious threads to SpaceX?
Man, I think the biggest and coolest take away from this is watching Elon actually take in the view for the first time. You can tell that he is probably always so focused on the project that he never stops to just take a look and appreciate the beauty of the world around him. And you could tell he was almost in awe of his own creation, taking it in for the first time like everybody else there. A man like that probably doesn't get a chance to just stop and appreciate very often.
What thought Respectful Elon Musk mind looks to me that is full of functionality beauty in progress. How doesn't know the precision requisite of the maschines & organs he is designs and constructs
It's because Tim actually bothered to learn a bit about the subject matter, allowing him to ask genuinely interesting questions. Almost all the "mainstream" journos, are dumb bozos that know nothing, and as a result ask really boring questions.
Elon giving the tour feels like its also a chance for himself to take in this creation. He had the "5" minutes to slow down and enjoy the view, while having a conversation with someone who is genuinely interested.
You can see that when he gets in the elevator and takes a few seconds to close his eyes and relax. I mean... his mind is busy problem solving even while he's giving the tour.
And here's Elon, head of SpaceX, Tesla, and so much more big, important stuff, standing on the top of the starship tower like a tourist, busy taking pictures with his smartphone. I just love that.
@@ariochiv "his mind is busy problem solving " lol he's brain is probably going 420% all time every time, inventing the hyper mars loop ran by tesla mars bot v420.69 am I right guys? it's not like he could be tired of his own bullshit ideas. It's great to be genuinly interested, but you also have to be skeptical, I mean the dude just claims that his engineers are going to cut off more then 50Tones of weight off a rocket that hasn't done a single orbital test.
I love that you just asked for what you wanted. For instance, when you said, “can we go up in the tower?” I feel as though people are sometimes intimidated by Elon’s slow/thoughtful responses. Great video and series.
Hi Tim, I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to pursue a career in rocketry all those years ago. I started my internship at SpaceX Hawthorne this past week working on Starship, and it's been so incredible meeting all these amazing people and seeing the process behind making a rocket of this scale. I'm so glad everyone can take a peak into what SpaceX is working on and get inspired in their own ways to pursue their dreams. Looking forward to seeing more interviews, and fingers crossed for the orbital launch!
So cool to see where they were just 2 yrs ago. It's wild to think they had a shorter schedule in mind. Late by SpaceX standards is impossibly early by any other organization.
These perspectives are not very different. Failure is a possible outcome, but not an option. It is something that might happen, but it is not something you are willing to choose. Gene Krantz's creed comes from a time when NASA took its mission seriously. It never meant "we won't do anything that might fail", it means "we will not accept failure until we have exhausted all options". Elon's version implicitly accepts that failure is possible, even likely.
Great quote, and works great until you add human crew/passengers. Imagine being the the staff in charge of Apollo 13, knowing the impossible has happened, and having to innovate or die in a matter of hours and days!
As a life-long construction guy, I know that wandering around after the crew has gone home, gives way to some of the most creative ideas. It's so cool going around the site with a very human Elon.
This is the best video of all time. This was technical, philosophical and overall view of the Starbase especially interviewing Elon up in the launch tower. Fantastic
Elon and his crew are really nice. Anything Tim suggested, they were like yeah, let’s do it. They were even telling Tim to come out and see it all stacked. This was lots of fun to watch. Hopefully Spacex gets the approval to lite this rocket up and send it to orbit soon!
elon is so wholesome sexually harrassing employees and paying 250k for them to stay silent omg wholesome 100 and that time tesla was exposed for a bunch of workplace violations i love him so much so wholesome 1000
Elon who payed less taxes than the bottom tax bracket and complains about HRC wanting to increase tax on billionaires even though Telsa and SpaceX were born and still to this day rely on heavy government subsidies and contracts which are only possible because of tax revenue. As a bonus due to tax cuts for elon and increases for everyone else, you have probably contributed more to SpaceX and Starship than elon ever will. This is why he is my favourite 69KeanuReaves420epicbacon human being. What a nice guy.
@@XBarFighterX LOL, experience and courage from old engineers of ULA and Boeing doesn't help. Young engineers on SpaceX proved it by Falcon rockets and Dragon capsules. If you think experience is so superior over talent or creativity, you should apply and work for Japanese companies like Sharp, Toshiba, etc. They're dying af.
Agreed. When seeing many videos from Boeing, ULA, etc, seeing a lot of old engineers and operators (most of them are over 45 years old or olders). I did respect the experience but they should use it wisely for quality control, not for designing/creating and problem-solving. That's why Startliner or SLS has a lot of problems for years without clear solutions
I really liked that too. He could be more arrogant about what he's built. But instead he compliments it and is in awe. Feel like he indirectly is lifting up the people who built this with their hands. SpaceX has a great team.
It baffles me when people say Elon is not involved in anything in his companies, that he is riding on other peoples waves, but you look at these interviews and you hear his depth of knowledge in what they create and you can tell he is thinking about so many things while doing this interview, this guy and his engineers are working hard, they looks super tired but determined and focused, always thinking about the next step.
Elon just momentarily closed his ever open eyes before that light came on in the elevator.. almost caught a glimpse of his mind at ease for a split second, to relax and catch a rare chance at peace.. for me that was a moment.. great shot
@@polpol1005 I can't think of many people with this level of wealth and time commitments who would take the time to keep a bunch of TH-cam nerds happy with the latest technical details of his quite frankly mind boggling project. I bet he works harder than 99% of the folks in this comments section!
@@paulelephant9521 harder than 99% of the folks in this comments section? why do u think so? I don't believe everything he says, don't forget he's a marketing guy who likes to overreact
Everyday Astronaut is also evolving along with SpaceX, every day this TH-cam channel becomes more professional. Thank you Tim for your passion because it's music for the fans.
I would of preferred more technical questions as well. You got Elon Musk for an interview! Ask questions Tim! Maybe take a poll for good questions before the next interview
"At SpaceX we specialize in turning things from impossible to delayed" and "success is one of the possible outcomes" - but this guy; such optimism is contageous.
When you’re as rich as Elon there’s no point in flaunting your wealth lol. I’ve noticed that most billionaires don’t wear anything fancy. Simple cargo shorts and a t shirt will suffice.
"At SpaceX we specialize in converting things from 'impossible' to 'late'." Might be both one of the funniest and also coolest things Elon has said in person.
He's thinking to himself, "Hey, this is really cool up here." If I was Elon, I'd have a little space set up for myself up there. THIS is where I go when I need to get away from people and think. Hell, I'd have a toilet up there.......FOR SURE.
Tim, I have to acknowledge how you have avoided making videos with that "look at what I've done" tone that other TH-camrs might have gone for and kept these interview videos focused on what Elon and SpaceX are doing. There's neither forced humbleness nor self gravitas, just wonderful insight and information.
Standing below that tower is one of the most awe-inspiring things I've ever seen. The sheer scale, and the fact that the Starship is at that scale as well. Brings the whole thing into perspective.
I am looking forward to watching at least one launch. I missed the Shuttle, I hope to at least see one of these and Artemis go up. Artemis is the Equivalent of a 21st Century Saturn V.
Congrats to your growth too Tim. From little self-made videos about rockets to multiple personal interviews with Elon, Beck, and others your channel has come a long way.
Thank you for a great interview with someone changing humanity forever. Knowing when to ask questions and when to not made this very enjoyable; on top of great content. There's a sense of wonder and amazement from great minds that makes me excited as well!
Never have I been more exited for watching nerds riding an elevator. Thanks very much. This was 25 min of pure gold. I like the minimal editing long shot style you do. Every frame we get from starbase and Elon is worth watching!
@@Nightdreaux22647 And they might not have shown all of it, cutting out the elevator ride and the “boring” techincal cahtter. Just leaving in the usual speech Elon gives about humanity becoming interplanetary. I love how Tim is able to get much more out of Musk than his memorized bits he gives to other media autonomously without thinking.
That atmosphere on top of the tower was insane. Being there with Elon is like you suddenly occurred in the front of all the humanity and there is nothing left that would be more innovative in spaceflight, you have to create it, push it forward. I guess that's what these guys feel every day when they get back to work...
At the top, first thing that everyone did was take in the view. Elon then takes his phone out and videos the view. Unlike other people in his position, he is genuinely excited about the work. Elon's vision and ability far exceeds others, his drive will make humans multiplanitary. Passengers for Mars will one day leave Earth from the Elon Musk Space Port.
@@PanzerBuyer I was thinking the same thing. Definitely his first trip there because he looked anxious on the elevator and looked excited at the top when he saw the ship and the booster.
@@TheRealWinser i think it looks like he was thinking of a solution to one of the millions of engineering problems he is constantly working on. Maybe he just used a moment of silence to work, inside his mind.
@@mavigogun There are, but most will be cancelled for political reasons, run out of money, or run into overwhelming problems. And the ones that succeed are still being developed behind closed doors, and take decades. And absolutely no serious project has similar ambitions, not even close. Not to mention that how few big exciting project will affect you personally. If Starship succeeds, eventually ordinary people can go to space in it, or even go to live on Mars.
@@mavigogun 1. Name one such project aiming to achieve full and rapid reusability? 2. Name one such project with this much open access to pulic, hence the excitement. I'll wait.
Elon can tell you every detail about the whole facility, but it looks like this is the first time he's taken 5minutes to go to the top and just look out. That dude is focused!
During one of the scenes on the tower it suddenly dawned on me that this is maybe the exact moment that will be remembered as the start of our journey to the stars and beyond. This moment there with Tim Dodd and Elon Musk when the sun was setting on good old earth and Mars was only a few years away. Thank you for this historic moment!
@@killgriffinnow I don't know where your hostility is coming from but I understand that from a certain perspective it seems like I put a halo on the person. I don't want to worship Elon Musk but celebrate the moment where things become reality that some of our grandfathers could only dream about. That's all. Thanks for the feedback anyway :)
Big fan of Space X and Elon. Elon has this weird mix of child-like wonder, engineering brilliance, determination, and work ethic that drive this deal. Fascinating guy.
This has to be one of my favorite videos on the internet. THIS IS SO UNBELEIVABLY COOOOOL. Casually walking through literal beautiful Mars ships and gargantuan launch architecture with one of the smartest and most influential inventors to ever live. You are living an incredible life Tim. Thank you for sharing with us. We are so lucky to have this kind of access. It's science fiction man . . .
this video reminds me Pacific Rim. other manga (evangelion ) don't challenge to show how machines are big, but the theater movie had to. and this interview gives me exactly the same feeling .
@@Marc-ze9me So you are one of those nutjobs who are trying to tell me that the car I drive every day doesn't exist. I guess I just imagined myself into the office today.
@@andrasbiro3007 Oh no no, that car is real. Electric cars are real. A lot of companies build great electric cars. The scam comes from all the sci-fi promises Elon makes, making people believe he is a genius capable of doing what nobody else can do when in fact he cannot do them…a colony on Mars? Stupid idea and he cannot do it. Hyperloop? Never even close. Tesla robots? Really…do you believe that one? The worst of all is how people seriously believe he does this for the good of humanity…Elon cares about 2 things: himself, and his money.
I like how starship also has short term goal and deadline in taking starlink 2 to orbit; it really helps keep everyone focussed on stepping stones to get it working and not feel the big goal of space travel to Mars is too far out of reach. Interesting how they’ve bet the launch delivery mechanism of starlink 2 on starship - there’s no back up of falcon 9. Starship has to work.
I'd love a Falcon9 back up for an audacious Mars Dragon. Elon would probably say that's a daft idea, but I'd prefer to traverse Mars by Dragon, as opposed to the Cybertruk
when i hear "it's the most X in my entire life" i always wonder how old is the person. If the person is a kid, then it wouldn't be as nearly really awesome as if he was an old person. General criticism apart, this launch is indeed a huge feat for mankind.
Thanks Tim. Even on dark days, we can remember that the first human to step onto Mars is already alive. We just don't know who it is, yet. I'm convinced you'll see it happen.
Tim, the bond you have struck up with Elon, is truly remarkable. We've all learned so much about this endeavour thanks to your channel. Long may it continue.
I think the fact that this is probably the first time he's been up there, really put it into perspective for him. It was an eye opening experience probably.
I wouldn't call him down to earth. He's awkward and kooky. You can tell how uncomfortable he is just having a normal conversation with someone. His two handlers are also on the spectrum - the one guy smiles inappropriately all the time like the joker, the other seems afraid to open his mouth.
@@mrfunkington He does well when talking to experts. It just seems awkward for him to constantly be thinking in layman's terms, how to explain something
Tim, I think people will still be watching this video 100 years from now…maybe even on Mars. You’ve made your own mark on history sir…and thank you for sharing.
every time i listen to this man and the crew i am fascinated by his "out of the box" thoughts very much. I mean how far can you create the future today. Unbelievable. He has been thinking and acting so many steps ahead for years.
I really like the quiet times in this, watching Elon be amazed at the work he has done is really special. That sounds weak but I don't know what else to call it this is really special.
It really is special. People who don't think it is do not have full comprehension of what Elon and his SpaceX teams have accomplished. In a world where getting out of bed and not complaining is an achievement, what SpaceX is doing and has done feels to me as grand as creating an entirely new planet from scratch.
"success is a possibility, the probability is uncertain, but it's above 0" this is exactly why Musk doesn't want to take SpaceX public. Imagine saying that to share holders.
Stock market ruined many successful companies because the general public and the fund managers are too dumb to understand what was that company’s intention on it sets out to achieve, Space X is much better be private than public
This is so weird seeing such rockets without military personnel and guns all around, more than that there are only nerds there, its like a major science project they had
It is incredible to think that all they could see, only a year or two ago, it was just an idea in somebody's mind. All the hours of discussion, researching, design , redesigning, engineering, building , rebuilding . What an incredible team of people believing they can make the impossible ....possible .
This is all reminiscent of the early days of space flight: stretching our imagination and capabilities. I genuinely wish Elon and the SpaceX team all the best and continued success. Very exciting times!
@@Bramon83 Apologies, as I should have better framed my comment. Given that by the time the early days of spaceflight were occurring we had already had Von Braun working with missiles/rockets almost two decades prior. That's also not bringing in to consideration Goddard's research nor the Chinese, who had first used rockets in anger in the 13th century. The developments for the late 50s and early 60s were to make use of what had been a strictly military weapon to transport humans out of the confines of the earth's atmosphere. My comment only meant to compare/contrast the historical precedent that Elon and SpaceX are involved in with that of the early manned spaceflight developments. Granted, Elon and SpaceX are indeed standing of the shoulders of giants, however, the departure of the norms that were now see as being a regular thing (vertical landing of spacecraft, as in Falcon 9 and the successful test landing of Starship) are quite breathtaking nevertheless. Quite like the early days of manned spaceflight
@@Bramon83 To be fair the original space race had the entire nations support behind it and a unlimited budget, where space x has a lot of government red tape getting in the way and slowing it down.
I can hardly believe that this is real. Catching a rocket seems so insane but the engineering must say it can be done. I remember when landing the rockets was considered insane, now its just normal. Even Elon thinks its unbelievable.
I can see it, it's a logical idea. However, the more moving parts there are, the more likely it is to fail... Moreover, to have the courage to design & build it 💪 is awsome - personally, I believe it has a good chance of success 🚀 Atb Gus 👍
These candid walk and talks with Elon and Team are absolutely amazing Tim! Keep up the great work. You're playing your part in the history of this incredible journey to space.
"with a childlike wonder" Thank You!!! I had not been able to articulate that 'difference' in Musk's approach to the world, but that captures it. To a child, everything is fascinating and nothing is impossible. Society unintentionally beats that curiosity and wonder out of kids by the time they graduate from high school..... Somehow Elon escaped that and humanity is better off for it.
Amazing. The majority of people at the launching site, and the cheering crowd during the launch are young people. And they succeeded making history again and again.
If that is a good quote, that says a LOT about Elon, just taking the piss on ALL investors and American taxpayers. On another note Starship is not only VERY VERY VERY late, it will never happen.
@@jandideriksen7847 why the hate I never understood people carrying burdens on themselves. Spacex takes less taxpayer money then the other companies do in the same field and reuse said taxpayer money. While the other companies throw it away. I find people that hate other's really only hate the person they see in the🪞
@@jandideriksen7847 Reminds me of the already senile Armstrong talking about commercial spaceflight. You probably think you'd be better off riding on Soyuz... Oh, wait... You wouldn't be able to do so anymore...
Tim it's been so wild watching you grow from playing KSP and having a blast talking about space then growing all the way into this. You produce some of the best space news content and your series with Elon has truly been a treat.
I really admire Elon Musk. He's not perfect, none are..... However, he does try to be a good man not only for himself, but for all. That's truly admirable. Thank you Mr Musk....
I'm going back and forth between how totally amazing these interviews are and the level of access .. and just the awesome interaction between all of you.... and my fear of heights.. OMG there are people who are actually working at these heights. 😰
When they went up the catch tower it reminded me of my first visit to the Eiffel Tower last week. It’s absolutely mind blowing what Elon and SpaceX team is doing. Americans and its politicians should start to realise they are literally making history!!!
Americans have been literally making history since the inception of our nation. Automobiles, airplanes, petroleum, the assembly line process, mass production, nuclear energy, basically the entire modern world that we all live in. ( You're welcome, from America) Elon and his team are continuing this trend with the most cutting edge inovations and engineering. The likes the world has never seen. I'm sure profits are important to continue the work of course but you can tell Mr. Musk does most if not all of these great feats for the betterment of the human species's. He's the definition of red, white and badass. Hell, the only person more badass than him, was him ten years ago. Lol. I'd call for him to run for president but I don't want to insult his intelligence or abilities, nor have him working a position that would be well below his skill sets.
If you don’t have haters you aren’t doing anything right. Keep doing what you are doing Elon and keep up the good work Tim. It’s clear he has respect for you.
Tim, the bit of talk when Elon talks about multiplanetary life taken on top of the tower is truly HISTORIC and EPIC! Even when just watching on youtube. Can not even imagine the depth of feelings that you felt taking this interview up top! Great stuff! Very inspiring! Plus, I feel like like this is truly the fist time I felt that this is the first ever POSSIBILITY of making life multiplanetary in the history of mankind! I feel like Elon has built the tallest tribune to spread his ideas from! Thank you for the lift!!!
It blows my mind that people still don't beleive we went to the moon when footage like this exists. To say that all this work, all these people, is just to create an illaborate illusion is insane.
When I watch your conversations with Musk, I am reminded of the contrast from all the secrecy these subjects have been held in historically. Nasa or Boeing would not invite you to an Internet conversation about their progress. Bravo
That shot at 0:50 blew my mind . It’s like the first shot of a video game sequence. Or a dream or a nightmare. Whatever it is , it’s out of this world. Thanks Elon for being so unselfish in showing your machines. Mars is within grasps. And thanks Tim for being the bridge between space tech and space curiosity.
"Is the elevator working?" "Yeah I can fire up the generator real quick" _jogs off screen_ That's really quite a telling interaction as to the working culture down there
Legacy culture: "We will need to call a series of meetings to engage our lawyers, insurance agents and country officials to form a committee to put forward a strategic plan to work towards a draft application for your limited access to the ground level. Meanwhile you will need to hire your own lawyer and bring two witnesses to sign this safety waiver, this NDA, and undertake this course to obtain national security clearance. You will also need personal insurance and a medical certificate from our exclusively certified and very unavailable doctor. Oh and sorry no cameras."
Amazing. This reminds me of a recurring dream I've had for the last 5-6 years wherein I meet Elon Musk and he gives me a tour of his facilities and just talks philosophy.
I was really hoping for a view down at the corner of the chopsticks and pulley etc. but it didn't happen. Never mind, it was incredible to be shown around the tower. The amount of kit and plumbing installed is amazing, especially considering how quickly its all been built. Thanks Tim. 👍
I think Elon might respect Tim’s technical knowledge of rocketry which may be one reason why he keeps giving these amazing glimpses into the progress of this facility.
@@paulmitchell5349 In addition to being the CEO, he is also the Chief Engineer. You hear one of the engineers in the video say that they were discussing things and Elon said, "Let's just delete the legs," and the engineer though about it and decided, "Oh, he's serious. Of course, let's just delete the legs." Elon has been the main driver for most of their important innovations and big ides. He's uses engineers to work out the details. But, people have also reported that he will listen to everyone and take any good ideas from anyone at any level.
That comet that hit Jupiter and created a 'hole' the size of Earth is scary stuff. It's incredible no one talked about it before. Yes, I support the idea of humanity becoming multi-planetary. That doesn't mean we stop caring about Earth; it's not a zero-sum game as Elon puts it. Overall, this is a great interview. Kudos to Tim Dodd
@@justinsmith4562 I think he means that every day person doesnt know about it and that is because it is not being discussed by the mediums that the everyday person uses.

Well they are doing what i would do, just enjoying the view, there is no need to say anything
Imagine someone watching this video in a hundred years and saying, "This is where it all started". Elon may very well be the Zefram Cochrane of our age. The continuation and survival of humanity must have an escape hatch, just in case.
Lol it makes it even more cringey
Best Elon quote was on catching the booster: “This is completely untested.. but success is one of the possible outcomes”
Anyone other than Elon would require a working model before proceeding this far with the chopsticks booster catcher contraption.
my favorite elon quote is "i am sorry i showed you my penis, here is $250,000 to not talk about it"
Edison said he found a hundred ways to not make a lightbulb before he found one way to actually make one.
And then he says, “The probability is uncertain it’s about zero.” If you listen closely to the lying crackhead he sounds like he’s someone that huffs gasoline.

Elon's version implicitly accepts that failure is possible, even likely.
Great comment/comparison
Great quote, and works great until you add human crew/passengers. Imagine being the the staff in charge of Apollo 13, knowing the impossible has happened, and having to innovate or die in a matter of hours and days!
Where does NASA say that
As a life-long construction guy, I know that wandering around after the crew has gone home, gives way to some of the most creative ideas. It's so cool going around the site with a very human Elon.

Elon who payed less taxes than the bottom tax bracket and complains about HRC wanting to increase tax on billionaires even though Telsa and SpaceX were born and still to this day rely on heavy government subsidies and contracts which are only possible because of tax revenue.

Maybe. those young engineers just don't have the experience and courage to talk Musk out of a stupid design?
@@XBarFighterX LOL, experience and courage from old engineers of ULA and Boeing doesn't help. Young engineers on SpaceX proved it by Falcon rockets and Dragon capsules.
If you think experience is so superior over talent or creativity, you should apply and work for Japanese companies like Sharp, Toshiba, etc. They're dying af.
Agreed. When seeing many videos from Boeing, ULA, etc, seeing a lot of old engineers and operators (most of them are over 45 years old or olders). I did respect the experience but they should use it wisely for quality control, not for designing/creating and problem-solving.
That's why Startliner or SLS has a lot of problems for years without clear solutions

Elon just momentarily closed his ever open eyes before that light came on in the elevator.. almost caught a glimpse of his mind at ease for a split second, to relax and catch a rare chance at peace.. for me that was a moment.. great shot

I like that even Elon is surprised at how beautiful it is at the top; and starts taking pictures himself. :)
He's human.
It seems that this may have been Elon's first time to go up the elevator.
He has probably not a lot of time to do such things like going up there.
He's thinking to himself, "Hey, this is really cool up here." If I was Elon, I'd have a little space set up for myself up there. THIS is where I go when I need to get away from people and think. Hell, I'd have a toilet up there.......FOR SURE.
Its cause he doesn't set foot anywhere near physical laborers
Tim, I have to acknowledge how you have avoided making videos with that "look at what I've done" tone that other TH-camrs might have gone for and kept these interview videos focused on what Elon and SpaceX are doing. There's neither forced humbleness nor self gravitas, just wonderful insight and information.
Hello from the future. It worked!!
Standing below that tower is one of the most awe-inspiring things I've ever seen. The sheer scale, and the fact that the Starship is at that scale as well. Brings the whole thing into perspective.
I am looking forward to watching at least one launch. I missed the Shuttle, I hope to at least see one of these and Artemis go up. Artemis is the Equivalent of a 21st Century Saturn V.
Amazing, the sheer scale of it up close! Can you imagine when it’s all operational
Congrats to your growth too Tim. From little self-made videos about rockets to multiple personal interviews with Elon, Beck, and others your channel has come a long way.
Came here to say this
THEY DID IT!!!!!!
Thank you for a great interview with someone changing humanity forever. Knowing when to ask questions and when to not made this very enjoyable; on top of great content. There's a sense of wonder and amazement from great minds that makes me excited as well!
I like how Elon was chuckling as he entered the top floor. He's like the kid who never grew up and continues to live in his dreams
Never have I been more exited for watching nerds riding an elevator.
Thanks very much. This was 25 min of pure gold. I like the minimal editing long shot style you do. Every frame we get from starbase and Elon is worth watching!
I mean not just any media could just ask for this. Only Everyday Astronaut get the first exclusive views.

@@Nightdreaux22647 And they might not have shown all of it, cutting out the elevator ride and the “boring” techincal cahtter. Just leaving in the usual speech Elon gives about humanity becoming interplanetary. I love how Tim is able to get much more out of Musk than his memorized bits he gives to other media autonomously without thinking.
Elon was kind of stressing out at first. Then he settled down because he realized Tim was filming.
He finally made it from theory to reality
That atmosphere on top of the tower was insane. Being there with Elon is like you suddenly occurred in the front of all the humanity and there is nothing left that would be more innovative in spaceflight, you have to create it, push it forward. I guess that's what these guys feel every day when they get back to work...
At the top, first thing that everyone did was take in the view. Elon then takes his phone out and videos the view. Unlike other people in his position, he is genuinely excited about the work. Elon's vision and ability far exceeds others, his drive will make humans multiplanitary. Passengers for Mars will one day leave Earth from the Elon Musk Space Port.
I suppose it was his first trip up there?
@@PanzerBuyer I was thinking the same thing. Definitely his first trip there because he looked anxious on the elevator and looked excited at the top when he saw the ship and the booster.
@@TheRealWinser i think it looks like he was thinking of a solution to one of the millions of engineering problems he is constantly working on. Maybe he just used a moment of silence to work, inside his mind.

During one of the scenes on the tower it suddenly dawned on me that this is maybe the exact moment that will be remembered as the start of our journey to the stars and beyond.

Stupid idea and he cannot do it. Hyperloop? Never even close. Tesla robots? Really…do you believe that one? The worst of all is how people seriously believe he does this for the good of humanity…Elon cares about 2 things: himself, and his money.
I like how starship also has short term goal and deadline in taking starlink 2 to orbit; it really helps keep everyone focussed on stepping stones to get it working and not feel the big goal of space travel to Mars is too far out of reach. Interesting how they’ve bet the launch delivery mechanism of starlink 2 on starship - there’s no back up of falcon 9. Starship has to work.
I'd love a Falcon9 back up for an audacious Mars Dragon. Elon would probably say that's a daft idea, but I'd prefer to traverse Mars by Dragon, as opposed to the Cybertruk

Tim, the bond you have struck up with Elon, is truly remarkable. We've all learned so much about this endeavour thanks to your channel. Long may it continue.
What I love about this video is how much in awe Elon is with his own creation at the top of the tower when he was taking his panoramic.
I think the fact that this is probably the first time he's been up there, really put it into perspective for him. It was an eye opening experience probably.
It’s hard to imagine how down to earth this man is with his mind this far in the stars…The future is gonna rock.

This is all reminiscent of the early days of space flight: stretching our imagination and capabilities. I genuinely wish Elon and the SpaceX team all the best and continued success. Very exciting times!
Not even close. We supposedly went from nothing to the moon in 9 years. The BFR has been in dev almost that long.
@@Bramon83 Apologies, as I should have better framed my comment. Given that by the time the early days of spaceflight were occurring we had already had Von Braun working with missiles/rockets almost two decades prior. That's also not bringing in to consideration Goddard's research nor the Chinese, who had first used rockets in anger in the 13th century. The developments for the late 50s and early 60s were to make use of what had been a strictly military weapon to transport humans out of the confines of the earth's atmosphere. My comment only meant to compare/contrast the historical precedent that Elon and SpaceX are involved in with that of the early manned spaceflight developments.
Granted, Elon and SpaceX are indeed standing of the shoulders of giants, however, the departure of the norms that were now see as being a regular thing (vertical landing of spacecraft, as in Falcon 9 and the successful test landing of Starship) are quite breathtaking nevertheless. Quite like the early days of manned spaceflight
@@Bramon83 To be fair the original space race had the entire nations support behind it and a unlimited budget, where space x has a lot of government red tape getting in the way and slowing it down.
I can hardly believe that this is real. Catching a rocket seems so insane but the engineering must say it can be done. I remember when landing the rockets was considered insane, now its just normal. Even Elon thinks its unbelievable.
It's not real... This is all fake... Trust your gut... We all have ability to see the truth.. You need to trust God and stop trusting man.
I can see it, it's a logical idea. However, the more moving parts there are, the more likely it is to fail...
Moreover, to have the courage to design & build it 💪 is awsome - personally, I believe it has a good chance of success 🚀

When they went up the catch tower it reminded me of my first visit to the Eiffel Tower last week. It’s absolutely mind blowing what Elon and SpaceX team is doing. Americans and its politicians should start to realise they are literally making history!!!
Americans have been literally making history since the inception of our nation. Automobiles, airplanes, petroleum, the assembly line process, mass production, nuclear energy, basically the entire modern world that we all live in. ( You're welcome, from America) Elon and his team are continuing this trend with the most cutting edge inovations and engineering. The likes the world has never seen. I'm sure profits are important to continue the work of course but you can tell Mr. Musk does most if not all of these great feats for the betterment of the human species's.

It blows my mind that people still don't beleive we went to the moon when footage like this exists. To say that all this work, all these people, is just to create an illaborate illusion is insane.

That shot at 0:50 blew my mind . It’s like the first shot of a video game sequence. Or a dream or a nightmare. Whatever it is , it’s out of this world. Thanks Elon for being so unselfish in showing your machines. Mars is within grasps. And thanks Tim for being the bridge between space tech and space curiosity.

I love how even Elon is blown away by some of the stuff he built. He finds it hard to believe that it's real.
Sometimes you need to see things through the eyes of a third party to truly understand what you have done.
You might find that engineers built this stuff. Elon employs engineers.
@@paulmitchell5349 Definitely but Elon is the chief engineer of SpaceX. He is the mastermind behind this whole Starship program and the whole company.
@@paulmitchell5349 In addition to being the CEO, he is also the Chief Engineer. You hear one of the engineers in the video say that they were discussing things and Elon said, "Let's just delete the legs," and the engineer though about it and decided, "Oh, he's serious. Of course, let's just delete the legs." Elon has been the main driver for most of their important innovations and big ides. He's uses engineers to work out the details. But, people have also reported that he will listen to everyone and take any good ideas from anyone at any level.
That comet that hit Jupiter and created a 'hole' the size of Earth is scary stuff. It's incredible no one talked about it before. Yes, I support the idea of humanity becoming multi-planetary. That doesn't mean we stop caring about Earth; it's not a zero-sum game as Elon puts it.
Overall, this is a great interview. Kudos to Tim Dodd
What do you mean no-one has talked about it before? It happened in 1994 and was well documented and discussed for many years.
People interested in space knows about the comet that hit Jupiter...
@@justinsmith4562 I think he means that every day person doesnt know about it and that is because it is not being discussed by the mediums that the everyday person uses.
Who is here after the successful catch 😍
