[@ewmegoolies]

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.

@@monesco Don´t get me wrong. Yes indeed he´s just a normal person, but not that available to most of us.

[@Mephisto707]

I mean, Tim’s channel is all about rockets and probably the one with the largest viewership of all, so not really surprising to see Elon do an interview with him.

[@hankkingsley9183]

Tim isn't just any KZbinr. But yeah it's cool that Elon understands how to market himself

[@1973mre]

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.

[@N4CR]

'Used to'? Sad if you don't have that tile, be a neat piece of family history.

[@uniquekillerz]

I don't know if it was just an editing quirk but after shaking hands for the after flight catch-up, Elon seemed genuinely excited, cheered up quite a bit! Great interviews. Thanks Tim.

[@netstatmint8639]

well duuh of course! Imagine being Elon and having everthing on the line pre-launch....the rocket might blow up and set everything back 6 months....so yeah the guy is human and was feeling the pressure....anyone would its insane.....so after the launch and everything went smoothly well the guy is going to be a hell lot more relaxed....

16:53 i dont usually go in for ASMR stuff but i got goosebumps. Now I want there to be a rocket launch ASMR channel 😂

[@peterparker-zl2mc]

These interviews are fantastic, seeing Elon relaxed knowing he is talking to someone who has a love for rockets/engines like Tim is great, Elon clearly feels relaxed to be with him and knows he isnt there to shaft him. Great interview Tim.

[@thapelomorare1484]

Crazy how the Launch Site looks like a render

[@grappino_]

there are some errors in the English subtitles, for example, when Elon talks about yawing. Pay attention so you can fix them because everything else is top tier

[@user-dy9oo6vd1b]

We need a Short youtube of Tim & Elon both saying "that's insane" (26:26) :D

[@famjbogert2246]

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?

[@spacescienceguy]

Seeing how big Starship is up close, it's hard to fathom how they're going to catch it with the mechzilla arms. Those arms will have to hold a LOT of mass. Have they directly tested their holding capacity without launching?

[@0topon]

They lifted Starship up with them

[@spacescienceguy]

@@0topon Well there you go. It just doesn't *feel* right, y'know? The physics is almost unbelievable.

[@realulli]

Yes. There are several clips with large water bags hanging off of the arms. Not sure to what degree of overload they tested.

[@GntlTch]

??? And just how do you think the Booster and Starship got on the pad in the first place?

[@filalleva6231]

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.

[@BradiKal61]

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

[@maxwellrobinson2924]

Elon really has that whistle tune stuck in his head lol

[@snowballs2023]

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

[@motokid6008]

​@@joannewilson6577 - Why you spamming this?

[@joannewilson6577]

@@motokid6008 Because many peoples think that Elon is a genius that is the first to build a big rocket that will change the world. They do not know that the Saturn V was a complex machine, that had a remarkable safety record. The Saturn V successfully flew 13 times, including 10 times with people on board. And they do not know how much NASA did in the last 66 years and i only told them 1% of what NASA did. SpaceX vs NASA: They do completely different things. It’s like comparing an airplane factory with the United States Air Force. SpaceX makes rockets, and they design parts for other NASA equipment. That’s all. They don’t do scientific research. They’re just a manufacturer and service provider. They are hoping to sell their launch services to NASA and other buyers. NASA is an agency that researches space, planets, and the Earth, and also aeronautical applications. It doesn’t make rockets or spacecraft. It designs their specifications, and then other people build them. Starship got nothing done yet and that is after +$6 billion invested in it`s R&D... It will be a great rocket if it get 100% reusable in a few days or weeks when it`s fully operational in 2-3 years. For now it`s just a big prototype who need a lot of work.

[@Smiles10130]

Musk is Tesla, Ford, and Edison rolled into one man.

[@Ohhelmno]

I really wish Elon would concentrate more on his endeavors like this rather than the politics and trash talking on X but this is undoubtedly one of the coolest things any humans have ever done and he deserves a ton of credit for being the person who’s making that happen, no matter what people say about his skills as an engineer or businessperson and what he’s personally contributed to the design or whatever, he does own the company and was the person who brought these people together to do this thing and he’s clearly knowledgeable about what’s happening here.

[@Sam_Saraguy]

I enjoy his comments on what is going on in the world. I don't always agree with him.

[@iandavies4853]

Yet with all those skills, dedication, immense self-generated wealth, it’s lawyers, shorts, pollies, nit-wits, judges, bureaucrats slowing progress. No one else volunteered to buy out Twitter, call out woke nonsense (from the centre, not far right). I can see why Elon had to prioritise X for a while. Did it slow down Tesla or SpaceX noticeably?

[@Neront90]

I think Elon is interested in preserving the system that allowed him to build SpaceX in the only country on the planet where this is possible, and at the moment this system is under many threats, which we can only solve with the help of truth and freedom of speech, the most striking example is this the story with the 45b payment from Tesla, it’s crazy that Elon still hasn’t been paid, If this trend continues, Elon will repeat the fate of Hugo Junkers

[@matthewconnor5483]

When you are playing chess it's easy to see the losers playing checkers who aren't nearly as smart as they pretend to be. Buying Twitter was a massive kick in the gut to the corruption and their methods of laundering their lies.

[@aldunlop4622]

Look, there are people in the world today who want to stifle any opinion other than their own. The world works best when all sides of a topic are open to discussion. That's all he's trying to preserve. It may seem "off" to you at times, but the problem is, if you give in and inch, people want to take a mile. At least he put his money where his mouth is.

Hey could you do a video on how propellant stays settled during landing burns? Wouldn’t it float to the top?
