To be honest.. its RARE to see a CEO and his co-workers with this kind of level of intimacy. There are less than 1% of ANY CEO that will act this way at all. Being hugged from a worker like that tells you about the sort of passion these people have. I have NEVER EVER known of ANY kind of CEO with this level of trust ever.

Normally people do their own bit (very well) but it’s someone else’s job to make sure it all works together.

I love that the guy spent the whole time talking and he just listened. So many lead engineers and CEO’s think they know best yet even tho he is making a lot of the decisions and has final say, he still trusts his crews and let’s the just work. It really struck me in part 2 where they took off the 1/2 ring on the booster without even asking and his response was “makes sense, carry on” instead of blowing up and screaming at them about it and about not asking before redesigning the largest booster in the world. It would have taken 3 years of meetings for Boeing to remove that ring from SLS, here the guy building it just said “it’s too slow, screw it.”

@tropical island I agree with rumpel. I am literally two three four or five times the man Elon is, but have never been given a chance. Poverty prejudice and Injustice have kept me down. Its sad for the world but we will never know what I could have accomplished for humanity. Yes it's never too late to learn and you can always find passion in life. But some opportunities fade away. I thought I was destined to be the greatest athlete ever winning hundreds of gold medals and many different championships in many different sports, but no one ever noticed me, and now I won't be given that chance or am too old to be taken seriously. Its sad thinking what percent of my generation x with broken families spent time growing up watching reruns on TV that could have been spent more more fruitfully. I'm amazed by what I can accomplish just by being focused on something. I have found it's much easier to learn language and music as an adult despite what they say about early brain formation, (just one example), but you can't get back time.

He is super agile and will commit to the technology path when the result is proved successful.

I will say however that Elon looked massively exhausted by the end, I hope he doesn't burn himself out with this like he nearly did with the Tesla production issues. Congrats again.

Having been in the military as a senior officer, I had the opportunity to interact with many General officers over the years. I was never one to be too intimidated by rank, but I'd always feel a little tense when walking around my unit with a General who was there to check on things. Elon seems like a down to Earth dude, but I don't doubt he is tough on his people when things aren't what he expects. You can see it in everyone's eyes when he walks up. They want to show him they're doing good work. I can only imagine the pressure they're under. It's awesome to watch. Nothing historic will happen without people making it happen. History will remember Elon, but all of us will remember the army of unnamed people in videos like this that are making history while we watch. Thank you, Elon. Thank you unnamed badasses. Thank you, Tim. Thank you, KZfaq for allowing us to witness history in real-time.

It's crazy how he condenses this basic Agile idea that small course corrections are more effective than setting a long-distance target and trying to measure the shot exactly.

But planes can get in close and attack with precision.

And think - he's also got his successful car company. And other companies. This spaceX is just kind of his main hobby.

And he even said what i was thinking, making science fiction sometimes reality. Jules Verne rocketry like we were told was impossible since at least my time of 1971, old man. And my Voyagers are still alive!

I remember sitting in a first grade classroom listening to Shorty Powers count down to Alan Shepard's first launch into space. Now here we are in the frontiers of space exploration again. Great to be alive and witness history.

Fantastic stuff!! What must it be like to be one of those folks. They must be having some tough moments but some wonderful ones too. Imagine being one of them. Its dark, Your tired, your stressed, then you take a wee time out and look around you and for a moment you grasp the enormity of what you are a part of!

My friend, the value of this information is simply hard to imagine. All three videos I sat without blinking and wrote down every word. My gratitude to you cannot be expressed in words.

The most astonisheing thing about Elon imo is: "How can a human being be SO focused all day long for decades?"

Simple. He has so much stuff to focus on, Tesla, SpaceX, Boring, Neuralink, that if any one thing gets slightly stale he can look at another one, and if a seemingly intractable problem rears its head at one endeavour then a bit of time off lets the subconscious work out possible answers while the forebrain is otherwise occupied.

Wow this is the most behind the scenes of spacex I have ever seen. Just seeing them work at night to build these huge structures in the middle of nowhere is surreal. This is unlike any company I have ever witnessed and we are truly blessed to have elon. I always wondered how tf they innovate so fast and it's starting to make sense. Thank you so much for this legendary video, it will surely be taught in classes 50 years from now. 🙌Elon🙌

Dude is out there sweating bullets with back pain in the middle of the night just to let Tim get a interview. Such a good dude he has allowed many youtubers build them a whole carrier just off making vids about his rockets plus he is the richest dude in the world out here spending his dime just to try and help our race. Thanks Elon for all your doing for all of US. Thanks Tim for the vids
