Well he brought it up

The rocket is one thing, everything needed to make the rocket fly is something else.

Essa aqui é uma alien

I laughed. This guy is on another level

Isn’t this refreshing. A guy who gets told no, doesn’t have enough resources, so finds another way through sheer determination and action. Not wasting time on complaints and lobbying, just rolls his own sleeves up and gets it done, thinking outside the normal box. Not many people like this in the world any more. Not a sheeple

I like the irony of him saying this standing right next to the vehicle that has a better chance of putting Roscosmos out of business than NASA ever had. Wonder how many times the Russians regretted not giving him that decommissioned ICBM to have his silly Mars greenhouse and go away.

_"They wanted more money than I had so I basically read every book I could on rocket engineering ..."_ A story like that usually goes more like this: _"They wanted more money _*_for a simple website_*_ than I had, so I basically read every book I could on HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for beginners ..."_ And everyone nods, "well good for you, very impressive." Not, you know, rocket engineering. Rocket _science_ is (relatively) easy. Rocket engineering, not so much.

@@DaaYay lol that and they are godawful at throwing parties

It's so sad that the American public has no idea what NASA has been doing for the past 50 years .. a miserable PR failure of previous Administrators ..... GO JIM!!!

Jim Bridenstine is a politician and has little to no knowledge of NASA. From the video its quiet clear that the guy is utterly naive and incompetent for the job. He is just a cunning politician hand picked by Trump to lead NASA. NASA needs an experienced and qualified person as Chief Administrator. Who knows what hes doing. The former Administrator "Charles Bolden" was actually a lot better choice. That guy knew his stuff. And was technically and mentally superior to Bridenstine in every aspect.

My thoughts exactly =))

That's what I like in Elon, he's honest, he's good at anything he decides to do, and his primary goal is moving humanity forward, not himself. No wonder Wall Street hates him, that combination is extremely dangerous to rigid, "stable" industries.

I asked myself all my childhood why billionaries didnt want to spend money into space and do cool stuff, I used to say to my brothers thats what I would do If I become one. Is was so surprise to met him and living on the same time period

Until you work for Tesla that is.....😁

The Russians have the most realibal manned rocket in all of history.

is that so? @@datunes

funny you say you couldn't imagine this 2 years ago, because it was supposed to be flying NASA astronauts 2 years ago as that was the initially schedule. So Nasa didn't intend to go a decade with out capability, SpaceX and Boeing both failed to meet schedules. And knowing boeing, they probably just looked at spacex, saw they weren't ready and said well we aint doing anything until they do.

it shows if you want something enough you must dream big and try with everything you have always trying to push forward.

@@marshalcraft Yes and SLS/Constellation was doing so much better and keeping to schedule....

Money is a hindrance, the only question that needs to be asked is *do we have the resources?* The answer is an unequivocal YES!! If Star Trek can do..lol.

Thank Elon.

SERIOUSLY? He’s already messed up with the SLS!

EinChris75 agree totally, think he is going to be a great asset for NASA in finding money, he’s also extremely likeable and comes across as a true space enthusiast. I believe him not coming from NASA is a huge advantage and not a disadvantage.

He is a great communicator, and NASA needed that.

From the outside looking in as a long-time fan of NASA, I've been very impressed with Administrator Bridenstine.

Didn't want to like this guy but he is doing and saying things that needed to be so. We've needed that

I agree, so often there bureaucratic suits with a ‘we can’t because’ attitude but this guy seems a little different

Rastro Jettson great summing up on all accounts. Love the sound too, no editing.

Rastro Jettson. Also, How great does it look compared to other crew access arms? They've also clad the launch tower. Now things are starting to look like what they should in this century. Elon does things with flare. I'm pretty sure the one built by Boeing is not even enclosed - would have been very difficult to have that conversation there...

That is a good point. I can't wait to see what Boeing comes up with in terms of access arm aesthetics. I have seen videos of the interior of CST-100 Starliner vs the Crew Dragon and let's just say that aesthetics were a little lower down the list for the Starliner, as the interior feels a bit more classic in terms of fit and feel. Another big difference is the touch screens vs toggle controls. It's a bit like Mac vs PC. I wonder if any astronaut will dare give us honest opinions?...if not now, then at least in the future.@@stevebothe1416

Yeh, it was interesting to see people criticizing the sound editing in the comments. I think it drives the authenticity quotient up when the curation is down.@@driver4music19

@@rastrojettson84 To be honest, I have wondered whether touchscreens might be challenging to operate when the craft is shaking and the G forces are changing. If it were me, I'd rather have tactile controls for at least the main things needed during ascent and descent, rather than trying to hold my arm steady enough to touch the right spot on a screen on the first try. But I know that tactile controls take up space and weight.

@@Elizabeth-so6zp lol))))00

why Neil dagrasse is scared to debate Eric Dubay???

Yeah, and PR is huge for NASA, they're government funded and the more funding they can get the better for everyone on this planet.

this is REALLY important for Elon as well, since he's being threaten once again to stop being the CEO of Tesla, so the more is viewed in a good light the better, since maybe this way the other share holders will finally understand that if Elon stops being the CEO of Tesla that company risks going down.

I wish you could choose where exactly your tax dollars went. I would put all of it into Nasa's budget

Thats how you get things done...starting from the first principles, as he sometimes likes to say.

@@pianosenzanima1 Starting from first principles is tool number one in the tool kit physics undergrads are taught.

Well to be fair, thats exactly what most of academia is, isnt it? Reading books and memorizing them, putting the answers down on paper or writing your own article based on the knowledge in the books. A smart enough man can indeed self-teach themselves pretty much anything, as long as you're critical enough to recognize potential errors or inconsitencies within the textbooks, so as to not take every detail as 100% certain fact.

@@cameronweaver6701 THEY CAN BE SEEN FROM SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@cameronweaver6701 CAPITALISM IS IMPORTANT, APPARENTLY

He actually doesn't. And the testament to that is him deciding to go for car company and rocket company (success rate of which are close to 0%) instead of investing those 180 million dollars (that he got from paypal) into less risky market. And the fact that he literally put in remaining amount of personal wealth to launch 4th rocket, which turned out to be successful; but if it weren't, not only spacex would go bankrupt, Elon would too.

I honestly believe him he was whiling to bankrupt him self to buy that Russian I.B.M with the hope some one would start where he left off. In other words he was whiling do what ever it took to be the start to something grate! Just that would of made him happy. We need more people like Elon to be whiling to lose everything for the advancement of human kind not just the united state but everybody! You don't have to be incredibly rich just a little thinking outside the box.. All you need is your mined and to believe in your self money can come later.. Just one idea can lead to incredible things and discovery's. New technology's are being invented at an incredible rate things we never imagined we'd be seeing today. You have everything you need to be grate you have access to the greatest and most advanced computer ever created.. your brain..

I think they’re inside a train shuttle.

There is a falcon 9 being field next to them.

Martin I suppose some must find something to cry about in anything they view. Congrats on finding yours.

Yeah, come on NASA, get a better mic, it's not rocket science

Absolutely, they better not cancel WFIRST.

Interns.

Shuttle program had to be stopped to rethink space travel, if the shuttle program was not cancelled there be no incentive to do what is happening now. I think.

But your also complete correct in some ways, there was lots projects on table that was canceled, that might reduce cost as well, like aerospike engine. (but it most likely won't be craft cable of traveling to mars)

@sullyz girl89 Well, the space program never went away. You're just talking about astronauts being launched from American soil specifically.

@@rbrtck retiring the shuttle before we had another vehicle ready was a major setback for NASA. So many talented NASA employees were lost to other companies and industries. Losing the ability to service Hubble alone has been a tough one and with no more optical space telescopes in development stages we're looking at the possibility of no more science in that area soon.

@J. Sakic I just meant that launching astronauts from American soil wasn't the be-all-end-all of the US space program--NASA have been doing so much more than that this whole time. But what you say about losing this capability being a setback is true, too. Working with others is something we should do as much as we can, but *depending* on others for a major capability that we lack is not a direction we want to go in. That said, we would still have lost the Space Shuttle's capabilities regardless. The system was amazing in many ways, but it never realized the cost savings it was intended to, and in fact cost so much that it was unsustainable. If it weren't for that, NASA might have tried their best to fix its other issues, but they just couldn't afford to keep launching it. Even if we didn't open that 8-year gap in crewed launch capability, we still would have lost a lot. As for NASA's lost talent, many of them have gone on to great things like SpaceX and other commercial space programs, and we've seen a lot of positive results in this area. And as for the Hubble Space Telescope, yes it would be a shame to lose the visible light and UV capability that it provides, as ground-based telescopes with adaptive optics are only good in the near-IR and maybe the red end of the visible spectrum, but I wonder why we can't still service it. If we need to have it docked for safe spacewalking, couldn't that be done with the Dragon 2 or Starliner with a special docking adapter? Additionally, the Dragon 2 can carry a fairly sizeable payload in its non-pressurized trunk for new parts. Maybe the Soyuz and Starliner don't have what it takes, but maybe the Dragon 2 does. Alternatively, a robotic spacecraft--even a Russian Progress if needed--could dock with the Hubble and take it to the ISS, where it could then be separated and docked to the station by the ISS' robotic arm. The new parts could be stored in a cargo module that opens up or could be attached ahead of time to various racks on ISS modules or its truss structure. Once the repairs/upgrades are done, the Hubble could then be boosted to a new orbit closer to the ISS for easier servicing in the future. I realize that all of this is easier said than done, but I think it is doable. All the Space Shuttle does is dock with the Hubble for safety and stability, and provide an airlock and tons of space for parts, which is a big deal, but is not impossible to accomplish without the Shuttle.

Poor Nasa

NASA and SpaceX love each other why you making it seem like they hate each other

@@gubgubgub yes. I love them both

Simple life

manumus11 uops!, maybe a little Late, but here in june 2020, Elon just recieved his first paycheck or salary ever from his work at Tesla, so if it was for the money, he would not be here!!!. He took loans in his House, to pay for the 4 rocket flight, so thats why he says that Spacex would not have existed if it had failed. I really admire him, he has been through so much, and still wants to try and save humanity, he is awesome😍👍🏼

Once we get permanent human settlements on Mars, I think it just accelerates from there, their gravity well will be so much shallower...

visit an exoplanet ? interstellar travel in 21'st century ? it's impossible. don't even dream about it :)

Well, my freind the physics won’t change for us in 21st century. The SpaceX rockets you’re seing now is the technology developing since 1940s. That’s already 80 years mate. And we still using chemical propelant which will take us nowhere near even the closest Alpha Centauri star.

The only way we're getting something to another star system anytime soon is the breakthrough starshot project, using laser arrays to push a fleet of very tiny sail probes to ~0.2c. That could make it to proxima centauri before the end of the century, but it's not like it will be a full feature exploration mission like we've done here in the Sol system. It's also doubtful that the planet they're looking to target for that mission is habitable, as it's almost certainly tidally locked and subject to punishing flares. It will be a major accomplishment if it ever happens, but it's hardly interstellar travel. And that's the absolute best case scenario.

Gonna Go All Exo. If you end up using that, I want royalties.

I, too, was very skeptical about Bridenstine. And I suspect that some engineers and scientists at NASA really thoroughly sorted out his ideas and views after his appointment.

His implanted translator can't keep up with the speed of his telepathic speech.
