Yours were simple but very intelligent questions. Thank you.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Comic book - is that a tribute to Lauren Lyons? She was a fabulous educator when on the SpaceX youtube streams, and seems to be an in-demand person for getting space industry startups off the ground.

[@Tinman_56]

Tom's a very cool guy. He and his teams are doing great things for developing the space economy and exploration.

[@ellieinspace]

He’s extremely humble and smart

[@TheShanehiltonward]

Ellie, truly professional appearance and poise. You have upped your game in a serious manner. Everyday, interviewers end up wasting time trying to show off their own knowledge instead of allowing the interviewee to finish a sentence. You let the interviewee speak and allow them to be the focus. Excellent job.

[@ellieinspace]

Thank you so much! That means a lot! I was a professional reporter for almost a decade so I’ve been trying to emulate that more, glad you notice a change!

[@Mrbfgray]

Everyday get's to the technical like few can because of his background, having the story told without any tech has it's place too but she could 'up her game' by attempting to understand more.

[@howtheworldworks89]

You beat me to it. Was gonna say the same exact thing. My daughter and I are big fans of Ellie!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@ellieinspace That experience does show, as does the aforementioned practice of giving the interviewee time to complete an answer.

[@Seastallion]

​@@Mrbfgray I don't think Shane was talking about Everyday Astronaut. I think he was just using the word "Everyday" in its usual usage, as in "everyday someone does something". It was just capitalized because it was the first word in the sentence.

[@JT-mr3db]

It's incredible inspiration to see someone who is so good at something that is so hard to be good at. Not to mention the humility and intellectual generosity with which he conducts himself.

[@cus500]

It’s got to be best interview she has done on her channel. Keep it up

[@douginorlando6260]

Your Tom mueller interviews are most exciting. SpaceX nails low cost per pound payload to Low Earth Orbit. And Tom Mueller’s high ISP engines will nail transportation of payloads from LEO to beyond. Both are crucial in creating a self sustaining lunar colony economy.

[@ellieinspace]

Thank you so much! I really thought this tour was incredible!

[@jamesengland7461]

Thank you for your kind and generous hospitality, Tom!

[@ross077]

Excellent exclusive tour Ellie. Tom Mueller reveals so many expert insights into modern spaceflight development in this interview, Impulse Space are sure to succeed.

[@rickrutledge9363]

This was by far one of the best interviews I've seen you do, Ellie. Great job!

[@alanhart9992]

Mueller is the KING of rockets! Great interview from Ellie.

[@ellieinspace]

He really is. More people need to know his name.

[@clkersting]

You're killing it with these behind-the-scenes videos, Ellie! Love seeing more.

[@ellieinspace]

Thank you for watching!!! Hopefully I get to tour Starbase next!

[@hawkyyy42]

Tom is the best! Very smart and can explain things in a way everyday people can understand. You should definitely keep checking in with him. He will have engineered a huge portion of the future working space vehicles

[@ellieinspace]

I will do that! Great idea. Thanks for watching

[@paulrautenbach]

There seem to be a number of good (nice) people running space companies. Tom is one of them. Thanks Ellie. I learned a lot.

[@gerritgraafland4410]

i love Tom Mueller, so much knowledge and so down to earth, i would love to work with and for him. i was always interested in this guy for being the rocket engine mastermind of spacex, thanks for taking the time to interview this guy and getting to know him as a person.

[@GONZOFAM7]

Bringing space tech to us regular people Ellie. Excellent interview.

[@ellieinspace]

I’m the female Tim Dodd haha

[@goldengoat1737]

@@ellieinspace What makes Tim So popular is that he is a normal person with no scientific background. That got so interested in rocket science he educated him self to the level where he can discuss it with leading engineers in the field. I would love to see you have that level of interest in this field. It would also make your career explode

[@musicman53]

That was a riveting interview Ellie, congratulation! Thanks for going into it so well prepared, your question were great for Tom as well as we nerds.

[@ellieinspace]

Please share if you enjoyed!! Thank you!

[@caldodge]

Valve failure is probably one reason Impulse prefers "green" propellants over corrosive ones.

[@goldengoat1737]

Totally different thing hypergolics are way more reliable. They don’t need complex valves. The “green” propellants have more potential energy. Just harder to make a reliable engine. That’s why what these guys are doing is so revolutionary

[@toenyabliss964]

Ellie is the Best !

[@rudivandoornegat2371]

This guy is so intelligent

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Wow! Great tour Ellie, your really passionate 🎉

[@jameswilson5165]

Starman. Cheesy to the Max but clearly a collector's item.

[@biggertigger]

Awesome interview: just letting Tom run away with this is really interesting to watch ..

[@user-zs6zm1kt7i]

This is a fantastic interview and tour. I learned so much. Thanks for the great presentation. Letting him just talk naturally about it was really enjoyable. He has great enthusiasm and such great knowledge.

[@Mechanix360]

Great interview with Tom! Let's go Impulse space!

[@randycharland806]

I understand the need to protect the secrets regarding the development of the equipment, but it would have been so cool to actually see this equipment without blurring! You are growing in leaps and bounds in your ability to come up with one great question after another! Very grateful for your strong presence in the industry! Thanks Ellie!

[@ellieinspace]

Thank you so much! I’ve really tried to understand this subject better, glad it shows!!!

[@davidbeetham8481]

Ellie I like the way you blurred out rocket components - Because safety is paramount....

[@mophomanners]

because ITAR violations are really really bad

[@JackOHaraEngineering]

@@mophomanners”violations” like it’s not the most vague possible set of “rules” that are protecting tech that literally every single developed nation has. All itar really does is dissuade people, maybe not a bad thing. People building missiles in their yard is a little concerning.

[@DavidLong-gw8gv]

Hey, Ellie. Long-time fan. Great interview on so many levels. Completely expanded my idea of what’s possible. Really meaningful. Thanks.

[@DutchKC9UOD]

Brilliant interview, So impressed with this guy!

[@marchelgeson]

I really love the mix of SpaceX history mixed in with impulse space current information. It made for a nice mix and really showed off Tom's progression and knowledge. Plus you did a great job of keeping the questions a little bit technical but also a little bit informal. I can really see your personal expertise and knowledge growing and making you able to ask more informed questions.

[@kyleflem82]

What an amazing interview! It’s hard to imagine what technologies for space travel will be in 10 years.

[@grahamerobertson1732]

Excellent coverage of Impulse!

[@vicg5323]

Tom is Cool and Ellie is wonderful! As a tech I was in for Elon and Tesla, but when it came to SpaceX I did not see the reason and thought Elon was exerting energy in a wrong direction. I am glad to be wrong! I guess that’s why I am just a smart guy and Elon is a geniuses! Tom is very fortunate to have worked with him. I can not wait to see how many brilliant motivated men and women will create new enterprises that spring from Elons initial thrust! Thank you Tom and Ellie and Ellie and Tom for the tour!

[@ravd8082]

you are clearly delusional fortunate ? more like elon was fortunate , tom is the genius that made falcon 9 and heavy land those rockets not elon , elon is hardly there at space x he;s handed the reign over to mark juncosa

Ellie … I would run this by Impulse so they can make sure Impulse is not revealing too much. Imagine the improved focus of effort any competitor would derive from this video. For example knowing to get reliability, you need to demonstrate 2000 thermal stress cycles. I love this interview so much it makes me think working for Impulse & Tom Mueller would be a dream job (even with the stress of 110% effort).

Tom is a true genius in aerospace engineering, maybe not a great communicator, but he is truly brilliant in finding solutions in space.

[@irrefudiate]

Tom is proud of the accomplishments like a dog owner giving all the credit to the dog's intelligence... if that makes any sense. He's sort of like Elon in that respect. But, all of these people live in a world that I can't fathom... I mean like, beyond. I loved your interview. Very excellent probing, and also, your "candy corn" observation was right on.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Wait, what,... Nitrous Oxide and Ethane? He's talking about chemicals that every Hot Rodder knows where to get. And while cold while compressed, they're not the cryogenic liquids Starship is using, but would easily be contained in thin walled COPV type tanks to keep the vehicle mass down. Edit: and there a few minutes later, Aluminium tanks getting Carbon Fiber wrapped,.... And while you're looking closely, the reflection in the glass shows one of the Impulse team doing a socials photos, You must be famous Ellie!!
