There are so many funny stories from the early days of SpaceX. Hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane. And let me know if I missed anything in the comments!
ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.

John’s channel is super underrated.
He makes the best and most interesting documentaries on RUclips.
Love hearing this!
Agreed!
Very well produced keep it up
well, he did start soylent
true, but does the facts match? elon musk a CEO of paypal? he was fired, wtf?!?
If I could buy shares in your RUclips channel, I would.
That's high praise!
@@JohnCooganPlus Now would be the time to get in because this channel is going to only grow! :) Keep up the good work, John!
With the upcoming DeSo platforms that concept may become reality
Hey John please make videos on startups related to a.i , block chain , personal startup problems btw perfect choice of bgm for the video!
Definitely going to cover more AI and blockchain startups soon.
The top 3 most stressful things in the world:
3. Uploading a school assignment ten seconds before the deadline
2. Remembering your crypto wallet passphrase
1. Forgetting to hit the like button as soon as you click on a John Coogan video
Loving your content, can honestly say it probably only the 2nd channel in which I watch video after video and never get board. The way you story tell, pace and the love of your subjects is second to non. Keep up the great work
Another banger of a video John. This needs to go on the subreddits.
Thanks a lot! Feel free to submit it!
These videos are so inspirational. It's crazy, the work of a mechanic going inside and fixing a valve saving a company this big. Crazy how luck and the world works
This is a well done video, you got a new sub.
Thank you for the entertainment, better than any TV show on now days!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it!
Getting in before this video absolutely POPS
Hahaha that means a lot coming from you!
John, you left out the best part. The Falcon 1 rocket was launched from Omelek Island , a tiny island far from the comfortable US Army facility at Kwajalein Atoll. Life for the SpaceX engineers on Omelek Island is the stuff of Legend, well, at least among rocket scientists.
Elon Musk is a great and gentle kind hero
John, we love your content, its pretty in detail and depth. keep it coming!
John this is amazing. Love these in depth business videos.
Really glad you liked it! A little bit of a different structure (and length) from my usual videos, so it’s good to hear that it’s resonating. Thanks for watching!
The best most inspirational story ever.
Dude this is pure research for real all these details, thank you so much
just wow! you have an amazing channel with stunning content! thank you so much for sharing and doing all this.
Thanks for watching!
What a fantastic job of reporting. Thank you. I totally enjoyed and have subscribed 😅
I love the way you present your documentary
This is amazing content keep it up!!
Another informative and entertaining video. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot! Excited to make more of these!
i just love your videos. awesome channel. keep it up.
This story is worthy of an epic movie 🎥 👌
You are a great storyteller. Thanks.
The quality of your vids mate 💎
Hey, love your format / topic and overall presentation, new listener !
Another crisp informative video. Keep up the quality and view counts will inevitably follow.
That's my secret plan, just slowly improve the quality until lots of people are watching.
You've done your research, thanks for the hard work.
Great documentary. I knew some of it but this was a little more in depth
This channel is about to explode I can feel it
The content is definitely improving every week, and all the metrics are wayyy up and to the right!
Wow this video has been illuminating I really enjoyed it alot
Well described and well prepared. Welldone 👍👍
This was an interesting documentary. Thanks!
Very inspiring channel! I would love to have Your videos as a podcasts on spotify.
I'm always waiting for videos from this guy and Garry Tan 😁
Garry is such great motivation. I’m always thinking “how can I make my videos as good as Garry?” (while not copying of course)
Well done. I can tell how much you enjoy this topic.
There's seriously so much happening and so much to learn about in the space industry right now. Incredible stuff!
Just discovered your channel due to Garry Tan's recommendation. Really insightful and inspiring content.
John you are an underrated king
Yet another banger video!!
A little bit better every week!
Absolutely love the video!
Guys I recommend you to read leftoff if possible ...it's a great book about early days of spacex
For sure! Such a great book. The Acquired FM episode on SpaceX is solid too if you’re looking for something shorter.
Great Story Telling
thank god that he did not crumble under the stress of spacex and tesla...most people would
Your storytelling next level...
you deserve a lot more subs!!
Wow. Great story telling
I appreciate for your editor for so many B-roles 😊👍
Glad you liked it!
18:00 - IBM Selectric golf ball typewriter. You could do a whole video just on the technology in this machine.
Excellent videos and channel.
i love the drunk vodka meeting. everyone passed out. this is why i love been an entreuprunr. its hell and heaven all at once.
The best on youtube.
Great video John.
Thanks! This was a fun one!
Deep and thorough as always. Thank you for not just following one source slavishly (like the biography) but combining several different accounts. As someone who follows the story of SpaceX somewhat closely I am happy to have learnt some new things.
A list of sources would be appreciated
Oh for sure! I’ll update the description. Good call.
Same
Most of the details are included in the book 'Liftoff' by Eric Berger so I suspect that is one of the main sources.
Underrated channel
I hope this opinion never changes.
Ikr
Great video!
Absolutely crazy video
Awesome video!!
Amazing content! Can’t wait for your channel to explode. I would like to request you to tackle about NFT games, especially Axie Infinity.
I’m working on a video about Axie and play to earn games! Thanks for confirming that there is interest. It’s such a fascinating area, but requires a lot of research to get right. Coming soon!
@@JohnCooganPlus This is why your channel is a hidden gem 👌 thorough research + interesting topic + entrepreneur perspective. Keep it up!
Awesome vid bro

Are you an engineering

It’s your quality that convinced me to subscribe

"... because he knew what he was building was worth fighting for." This is inspiring.

You are amazing.
BFR: Best Friend Rocket
How is this video, not a million views yet?
Thank you
This is superb. Good work John, I also have a favor, can you please make a video on alphabet Inc.
This is fun, it's like listening to the book. Didn't you think of making an audiobook??
13:30 - The Secret Service stopped the Rocket Engine test because the rocker was pointing in the direction of President Bush's ranch 🤣
One of the greatest inovation stories of all time.
Thanks for the details. I am alarmed that no-one thought about effects caused by the pressure difference between ground level and cruise altitude. Oops...
Salamat boss
What is the name of film you having utilizeid in some various part of that video
AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Elon's companies are 'business miracles'. Aside from making Area 51 look like a Best Buy store.
And he did it all while running Tesla on top of everything.
Love this episode. Elon is my boss, and I couldn't be prouder. Living the dream. ❤
来学英语，喜欢这期
Ha I'm seeing lots of The Martian clips. Great movie
18:09 oh dang history could have been very different if they didn't fix that!
AWESOME 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What’s the intro song called ?
He is more like inovative businessman rather then real Engineer.
All the people at SpaceX are S.O.B's😂
Brother lets get this correct, he got fired from being ceo of paypal had 30 mil only 30 mil and decided to startt a mf rocket comany his first 3 rockets exploded and this man perservered and got 1.6 billion from nasa
Plz make a video about metaverse
John, I guess at your high seat in business, there is no way you edit these videos by yourself. You must have a good team making script and video editing under your supervision.. am I right 😊
I have a great editor and researcher, but need to grow the team more. DM me on Twitter or email me if you think you could help out!
The editing is impressive. My sister created a Google doc for us to list all the movies the clips come from.
3:43 which movie is this .
I hate to rain on anyone’s parade. However, just a pleasant reminder that the moon landing, the reusable reentry vehicle, essentially everything that’s come out of NASA since it’s inception can all be directly linked to a rare group of Germans that sees power around the 1930s.
Their boss was known as the painter to some. That is correct I’m talking about the one and only Werner von Braun.
The man sat at a prestigious and well deserved seat among the German Volk.
Looking forward to present day, it seems incredible to me that the lead engineers aren’t you on the team still possess German last names.
How the hell do you have 8k subscrbers and this video has
It blew up
can someone give me the source of this information please!
Wait, was Gru based on Elon or the other way around?
Imagine how gangster the guy who spit on a billionaire.
I feel guilty when you tl thanks for watching
I got to tell thanks for transforming book content to videos 😆
Big
Falcon
Rocket
BFR😂
God bless Elon's perseverance
wow
12:03 is it horizontally or vertically? It is horizontal, right? Also, the rocket exploding in the plane would've killed the SpaceX team?
Maybe I misspoke, I believe it's horizontal. I'm not 100% sure about how bad the rocket situation would have been in the plane. It probably wasn't loaded with fuel, so it could have just broken a bunch of parts inside and not damaged the plane. Need to look into it more.
