    Thanks for watching this video. I'm glad you're here. If you feel like this earns your subscription please click here: bit.ly/Subscribe2SED
    How this happened: I messaged Tory "If you ever find yourself with an open lunch I'll buy. No cameras, just rocket geek chat."
    A few months later he changed a flight one day so we could grab lunch, but he also carved out a couple of hours before lunch to give me a personal tour.
    He's as cool off camera as he is on camera. He allowed me to ask any technical question I had, and I never even got close to the limits of his understanding of rockets. His technical prowess is something I aspire to. We made a video on the second channel where I interview him about more specific things about rockets, as well as how he feels about competitors.
    2nd Channel Interview with Tory about rocket engines, competitors, and business philosophy: th-cam.com/video/DQaPOIQLEUo/w-d-xo.html

      @@CatatonicImperfect I think it depends on how you want to interpret "ignorance". If you take it to mean something negative about the people doing it (lack of intelligence, not taking enough time etc.) then I agree with you. I believe Tory Bruno just meant any lack of knowledge, even that which in inherent in any real-life situation. With that definition I would like for you to point to a reason for a safety margin that doesn't ultimately boil down to ignorance.

Being able to surround yourself with reliable people who know these things is more valuable for a CEO who works at a more macro level. It's like a manager. A manager doesn't necessary need to know all the detail of the job his team does. His primary job is to manage humans and it requires its own set of skills. Of course it depends what job it is. Some management job requires more expertise than others. I've seen quite a few expert pushed to a management position and ending up being absolutely terrible at it and the opposite, managers who knows only the subjet superficially but doing a fantastic job as manager. A CEO's primary missions are strategy and organisation. In some field a technical knowledge (not expertise) is important for the strategy aspect but it's mostly true for very technical field like rockets.
