Elon Musk on how Falcon Heavy will change space travel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2018
- SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida yesterday carrying its first payload -- a red Tesla roadster -- into orbit. Loren Grush spoke to CEO Elon Musk about the launch and what this means for the future of space travel, as well as Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye. The Falcon Heavy now holds the title for the world’s most powerful rocket, and its launch marks the first time a vehicle this massive has ever been sent up by a commercial company.

That synchronous sidebooster landing was simply amazing!
that was amazing, Space X made it "look" easy, gave me thrill and an emotional high
What about the center core? Is that recovered too?
@@usfbull523 The centre core is the one that carries supplies.
@@usfbull523 Yes, in this instance it's target was a floating remote barge in the ocean, but I think it crashed. The center core separates from the payload a bit after the side boosters.
I truly think that this is the greatest video that The Verge has ever made. Amazing production quality, great interviews, perfect footage, and real passion. Loren did a great job communicating the excitement of being there.
Right? I love the music choice and the editing is superb! Not staying on one shot for more than they need to and the great audio quality even though it was a windy day.
Agreed! Such a fantastic video. Thank you The Verge. Keep up the good content.
except the fact that its about a huge neonazi globalist
you just nailed it Chuck P
+Chuck P [again]
Dude, you and trip are a joke. You guys reuse to go down for a launch and watch the landing. Then the extra video of a whole earth with a HD cameras. The exact thing you people have been yelling for and you call fake. I guess you people are afraid of the truth and getting what you want. Pathetic!
Look at Elon's eyes, he doesn't sleep I guess that explains why his dreams come true
No need for sleeping with your dreams when you can realize your dreams in your waking life.
Actually sleep is very important you need aboat 7-9 hours of sleeo elon sleeps 6 hours sometime 7 so yeah
@@youngtrader6968 also sometimes 4 so yeah
when you focus too much on sleeping hours, you will actually sleep less, when you're this busy. If you accept you can sleep like 6-7 hours tops, you sleep better, because your body needs it so much more.
nice methaphore. roughly speaking
Just going by his name i can tell he is from the future
Or South Africa. Yeah, probably South Africa.
Wakanda
He's from there.
Jhonny Tapia yeees
Elon-Alien 'in' musk
He's the only white guy from Wakanda
Seeing the thrusters landing themselves , gave me serious chills, we’ve come so far!
IchBinFons, Made my inner child imagine them landing on another world...
Felt like I was there, it's great when a video is about the emotion the host is feeling and not only about the fact per se. Great work, loving The Verge videos.
Stélio Inácio
Well, I don't know about you but I don't like to see reporters crying and moaning when their preferred political party doesn't win.
In other words: be careful what you wish for.
Thanks, Stélio!
Moments like this give me hope for humanity. That excited crowd rooting for this is what the world needs right now!
Capitalism sure is great
I am told that people there could feel the rocket blast with their whole body? Love it
Saturn V did this 57 years ago…
I LOVE her reaction. She made it that much more amazing to watch. Clearly this was emotional for everyone there. What a remarkable achievement.
I'm not one to fanboy over anyone, but with cautious optimism I must say that Elon Musk is an amazing human being, and an even better humanitarian. Truly a person we need, but do not deserve.
Jo King Bill Nye isn't
We need this, Musk will Inspire every human to reach the stars.
Musk is like the love child of Batman and Ironman
Bruce Downey Wayne Jr.
Wouldnt Bruce Anthony Wayne-Stark be more accurate there?
The test failed.
The only worthwhile part of SpaceX is that it is supposed to land again. It crashed. 2 small mini-rockets landed safely. The biggest part of the SpaceX rocket crashed into the sea at 300mph, damaging its drone-ship engines. Probably still floating there. SpaceX cut the livefeed and fudged over it, lying to their viewers, admitting it later after the big headlines of 'success' were already the story of the day. It failed, they knew it at the time, but most people won't hear about that now. This technology will be obsolete by the time Elon Musk figures out how to stop crashing them.
Another massive carbon footprint - 400,000 kg of CO2 - equivalent pollution to 1 diesel car driving a million miles, in a couple of minutes (and no. It is not hydrogen and oxygen. It is kerosene with a massive carbon footprint.) He sent up 18 of these last year - 18 cars driving for a million miles - 7,200,000 kg of CO2. His electric cars are not going to take that carbon out of the atmosphere. It'll be there for decades. All for his silly playboy toy. Him and Richard Branson should find something better to do.
""During the news conference, Musk said the booster hit the water at a speed of about 300 mph and was about 328 feet away from the floating platform, taking out two of the drone ship's thrusters and showering the deck with shrapnel.""
- LA Times - FEB 06, 2018.
In other news: Global Sea Ice (Arctic, Antarctic, Hudson Bay, etc.) is at the lowest extent on record for this day of the year (and is flirting with the record low ever recorded).
I gotta say, the takeoff moment and the boosters landing moment puts a tear to my eye. It's incredible to see how much we, as the human race, are capable of achieving. And kudos to The Verge for the awesome video!
Same here man, that tear came out of nowhere.. I didn't see it coming :)
Reality Check thanks for the reality check numb nuts
Haha me too brother but always immediately after, I image how a more advanced civilisation would laugh for us being so intens happy with 1 small little rocket.
I sure would not want to travel into space. There is no world near us that has the same accommodating environment as earth. I sure as hell don't want to increase my chances of dying by living in a bubble somewhere is space or mars.
Eventually living in space or mars in a structure would get redundant and mundane just like living in earth. Not to mention if there is a loss of pressure the horrible death you will have.
Only a couple years ago his space endeavours were dismissed as a billionaire’s folly. Now, we see these projects becoming relevant and viable front-runners regarding future space exploration, missions, etc.

Shout out to the camera person who had to keep the camera focused on Loren during takeoff. #camerapersonsareheroes #dhrme
Haha, I was thinking the same thing!
Christian was a champ... he still got to see most of it! - Cory

Why???
We came to see the rocket 🚀
I could really feel Loren's joy. It made me feel like I was actually there. Thanks The Verge!
The joy of a child, of true wonder and amazement. This is why we need this in our world.
So True.
Why u think that?
Flat Earth NZ says a flat earther lol your a joke
Flat Earth NZ lmao "flat earth"😂😂😂
What a beautiful video. This should get much more views and show the humanity what SpaceX is doing for us. Thanks Elon Musk and every single one that is behind his team, every single worker in SpaceX and Tesla. ☺️

What is "sheep" about it?
Alan Lightner Bill Nye..CGI cars in CGI space.. the cult fetish of traveling space..pseudoscience..Believing bullshit.. That kinda stuff.
Chris Money LOL "cgi"

Guys, to put this in perspective: when FH was announced, SpaceX had never landed a booster. Their goals were insane. When it was delayed and delayed many people thought that it could never fly. Then, a booster was landed. Then another, and another. The Heavy became viable. Then, before all the hype, the payload was announced: a red Tesla Roadster, destined for Mars. The rocket launched, broke at least 10 world records, and sent a car out into the asteroid belt. Don't forget that five years ago this was impossible.
Lets let this sink in for a moment
"whatever the human mind can conceive, it can achieve"
They did all this with half Boeing's budget
@@johnt3606 is it really half? i would think its much less than that
@@peorakef I don't know, most people say it was half
I am very proud and happy for Elon! He went from South Africa to Canada when he was just 17 years of physical age to accomplish his soul mission. Everything is possible if you believe and take action! This is just the beginning guys! Let's build advanced technology to explore the universe and we MUST HEAL THE PLANET EARTH as well!
NEILAND i love Elon
Future belongs to those who are predestined to visit the impossible, explore and create the possible
YES
I wish the general public credited the SpaceX team more than musk. He has some good ideas but his real strength was building an incredibly good core team and letting it expand from there. SpaceX is like the Nexus of aerospace talent now
Yeah you're 100% correct. He also understands what they've done though. Either way, they both deserve the credit.
He may be in the public eye BUT He doesn't forget to always give them credit.
Effective teams simply don't organize on their own. A true leader has the rare ability to assemble the best teams. Musk deserves the notoriety especially when we see him credit his Spacex team as he does!
Ryukachoo I was just watching a video of a speech Musk made when he was opening the Megafactory outside Reno. He clearly stated that his team deserved the credit, not him.
I do my job I get paid nothing wrong with that but I am not visionary I can't take credit for having the mastermind behind that. Yea I fill propellant, yea I put make sure the seals are intact, yea I make sure the material can bear the contraction and expansion caused by rapid cooling and heating but you can't just come up with this and follow something from 0 with all your heart and put you money where your mouth is. Elon gets credit for all that 85% atleast in my opinion
I'm really excited to see whats next from space x, they have advanced at an incredible rate.
right, looks like he wasn't joking about sending people to mars in 2024
Exponential
Have they? Rockets been going out to the Space for 60 years. I don't see nothing new here. It's literally 60 year old technology.
acid junkie Well here is the thing, if you knew a thing or two about technology you would know why this is big.
acid junkie technology that has apparently been lost and has to be rebuilt, NASA doesn't have the technology to rival Saturn V rockets. Elon just brought us back to our tech level from the Apollo days.
This gives me goosebumps all the time. Hearing the thunder from the rocket and the people cheering on.
What is great about Elon Musk is. He is really a down to earth guy. I had the opportunity to speak with briefly just a very nice person. Business is business and he will get future goals done!
He is really down to earth for a guy that sends rocket away from Earth
This video transmitted a perfect combination of visionary dreams and awesome realisation. All that science and wooooooooooooo!
melkerart
It's all fun and games. But would you be willing to be strapped to a rocket to live in a bubble in space or mars? We know what is out there by the images NASA has made possible. Not only are you increasing your chances of death in many ways. But seeing what is out there would get redundant and mundane. You would be living in a compromising eventually boring cramped area of living.
Seriously people don't think....it ain't like it will be eternal extasy to live up there. It will eventually get boring and uncomfortable to live in such scenario. It's easy to find death here in earth. Sure as hell I would not want to increase my chances by going into space.
even tho the center core failed to land on drone ship, they at least made it to space. I think a prefect combination of visionary dreams is the failures,success and the hardship that these guys have put into to accomplish a revolutionised dream.
This video is intense. Packed with emotions of how awesome this launch was. Thank you, Loren. Thank you.
3:31 "Where did we come from and are we alone?". Questions answered at 5:28, 5:51, 6:04, 6:21, 7:07, 0:02
@ MG42pillbox making the super rich spend money actually puts that money back into the pocket of the people who work for spacex, vendors, employee's, scientist's, manufacturer's. It's better if they spend it.
Amazing coverage of a great event in amazing times!
MG42pillbox agreed
Jan Seewald You should thank William.
Great video‼️ Elon and his team are doing an incredible job revolutionizing this world🌏
Wth didn't expect you to be here, LOL. Love your vids.
I agree, It's time to stop looking back . Elon is making a ripple in their still pond , erasing their excuses.
Seeing rockets land is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. So magnificent, beyond words. And getting smoother every time. Hat's off Mr. Musk and thank you sir.
Todd Davis they faked it. They even changed the live feed.
Watching *2 of the 3 rockets land* you mean. The other plummeted into the ocean.
Don't believe I differentiated bad ego perception boy.
Stephanie Ann I invite you to stand on the landing pad to test your theory.
One of the best videos from the verge . Period .
Seriously dude.......LOL
ikr cmonbruh
SuperSigma stop with the stupid generalization!
+SuperSigma Now This Is Also Called Generalization😂😂 But Its Funny Though!
Elon is my hero
Is his failed hyperloop also your hero?
77Avadon77 failing doesnt have to be a bad thing
Nuance Bro same, him and spaceX are so incredibly inspiring
Nuance Bro fancy meeting you here! Love your videos. God bless!!
77Avadon77 the point is he tried it, wich is going to lead to him or others improving it, making it a reality one day
Legit shed a tear. So proud of everyone who worked on that project. As a fellow humans, we should all appreciate their commitment
they can be proud of what they have done and what they are a part of...Salute
As fellow humans.... I love that statement
Watching this I now can see clearly what future holds towards space exploration. This is a huge inovation in that department and I am glad that people like Elon Musk exist. This seriously brought tears in my eyes, I am exited!!
The Verge sent someone who had a genuine passion and child like excitement about space travel to cover this. She did amazing! I like it how she put her hand up behind her when with Elon and said "I've got another question." As if to say, "you wait for me now." Can't wait to see what incredible stuff comes from space x
smaulpaul Creeper
I'm thinking she was jumping in on some other PR people who were with Elon who might have said to wrap things up. She looked off camera when she said it.
Loren Grush is amazing. I follow her on Twitter and she's not far from the rocket science industry. Actually she writes in her bio that she's a daughter of rocket scientists, so it's no weird.
Wait in which part does she "put her hand behind her" ??!
I don't see it.
I've watched the entire video twice, and she never "put her hand up behind her".
So I don't really know what you're on about dude !!
Great Video from Loren and the team. I bet it was incredible in person.
Imagine how far Elon could go if guys like Bill Gates etc donated/helped the cause. Makes me wonder, all Elon is doing is electric cars and rockets. Why couldn't this of been done sooner? Is it because society by and large run by really old people who have a 1800's/1900's mentality and care not about technological advancements!?
+Apple Bee
The answer is yes . We need a space race to Mars . We need a GoFundMe for Mars
Apple Bee I hope you aren’t trying to make Gates look like a villain. He donates billions to charities
So happy to see a new generation of excited people about space again. I was young when APOLLO missions came along but I still remember them. Eleven when we landed on the moon. Thanks Dad, I miss you.
Who else noticed The Everyday Astronaut at the bottom left at 5:13?
Why am I crying?
Amir Muminovic cause the future is now 😢
Why am I laughing after reading it
Donald J Drumpf, u seems to be big fan of mr Trump or dumpf whatever
If you cry about this you need to go to Coachella or something
Because Humanity is reaching for the stars again. A new age of interplanetary travel has started and humanities dreams and goals will not be held back for another 100 years.
Awesome video, my favorite part of The Verge is the space content
Elon Musk is a super hero.
Except they used a TV personality to talk Science.
Bill Nye needs to leave the public eye ASAP. Complete fraud.
T-SPENCE can you give expand on that opinion?
Santiago Ferrari before I watch. Do you believe in global warming?
Look it's bill nye
Honestly, what I love about Elon is he just truly seems like a down to earth guy and I know people say don’t meet your heroes but I feel like he wouldn’t let me down. He’s a human being, you can tell he’s nervous in front of crowds just as we all would be and that sense of passion is something I have been searching for to reinvigorate a new space race.
I see so many bitter comments which is disheartening, how do you think you are able to stream videos, listen to music, travel and survive crashes, live in a high rise that can survive massive earthquakes, be warned of various natural disasters? The innovators, the teams of people throughout human history that sought to find answers that no one else ever had and they did it through trial and error. Every experiment leads to a new dataset to be studied that adds another puzzle piece that eventually becomes something that can be stable and improved upon from a basic blueprint that expands throughout the entirety of mathematics and the sciences that make the modern world such a fantastic place.
This was just beautiful
This man is changing the world and is inspiring people to follow their dreams and shows that we can do the "can't"
This is a great video. Well done
Wow...This is the same guy who makes cars, flamethrowers and Friking spaceships
And meme review
Wow, these just might be the best shots of the FH going supersonic. Also great to see some new material, the interview with Elon, instead of "just" another recap of FH
Verge video team really nailed this one. Nice work :)
Ryan Ruark You people have been hoaxed compliments of your own government. *Open* *your* *eyes* *it's* *1984!*
Yeyeyd
Yeyhd
Flat earthers disliked this video and your comment :)
Mark Klassen Me too! Elon’s windscreen popped off halfway through the interview, and a waterfall came on during Bill Nye’s :( -Cory
If for some reason you are reading the comments before or during this video... strap yourself in. This was my favourite video of 2018 so far.
Levi Hildebrand you ain't wrong
Levi Hildebrand lol
I still prefer the pug dog running in to the door video
You live a sad life then
I would have to agree Levi :D
Hello flat earthers... How are u there?
They are slowly questioning their life.
Looool !!
Amazing how the rockets freaking come back to earth n land lol awesome
We just chilling out here u kno
Actually u r the flst earther.. but now you find u were wrong all the time and now u want tojoin with us by posting this type of comments ha ha
Oh the humanity in this video along with the lovely simple edits... spectacular, was smiling the whole time. Excellent video!
Wow. This is such an amazing moment in history.
I know, it overwhelms me, I get crazy emotional realizing that this is such a milestone for humankind
Dear Loren, I envy you so freaking much for your job, really. Fantastic video, thanks for making us part of this :)
Bill Nye the nothing-to-do with science government propaganda guy; what a tool; NASA is all funded with stolen money (taxes).. people don't need to explore space to advance, people need to stop inventing new ways to rob and control each other through elaborate voting rituals, that even at their best are just a way to rob your neighbors and tell them what to do.
Trump says this is "Fake News". "The earth is flat;...Very Flat" says the new American dictator.
Turbo F*%#@ off.
Turbo Shitastic is so dumb!
I was honored to be able to watch a rocket launch performed on my birthday in San Luis Obispo last year, and Elon Musk had organized it., Absolutely STUNNING seeing the colorful sky at night, as the rocket breaks the sound barrier in the atmosphere. I watched a 50 million dollar show! :)
The side booster landings blew my mind!! It’s amazing that we’re able to accomplish something like this.
Elon truly reinvented the space game
He already did that when his 4th launch was successful.
I love this host. She's genuinely excited about this, even with previous SpaceX videos.
Yeah....space xvideos
Most importantly, Musk is excited.
Even if you didn’t know about the rockets, I feel like anyone would be excited to do this! You get to meet Elon Musk 😁
She did a good job with the interview and seem genuinely interested in asking him questions. If it was mainstream media they would have been asking him stupid questions.
Apphi Bios "egra It's Flyin agaaain!"
Loved the way he acknowledges the SpaceX team and using "We" instead of "I". Such a humble billionaire.
The video footage was so well done that I actually got teary eyed as the Falcon Heavy climbed into the sky.
"The falcons have landed." ~ SpaceX
This will easily be quote of the year in my book.
edit, thanks Pavol for correction :)
Muka Zero, you should edit that quote, it was “The Falcons have landed!”
Damn you right..!! ok I fixed it.
The center core absolutely landed...just a wee bit quicker than anticipated. If the center core didn't land at all, well that would be called magic.
Jiren The savage The center core had whats known in the industry as a RUD. Rapid Unplanned Disassembly.
BRAVO ! .... Thank You Loren for sharing this experience. Well done.
5:13 Everyday Astronaut in the bottom left next to the sign!
How do you know?
This video was amazing, really well put together and Loren's excitement easily makes you smile! First time watching, instant sub.
One of most fascinating day of 2018, Thanks Loren for conveying Elon thoughts on Today's super launch and make us feel that supersonic vibes. One of best video ever posted by THEVERGE!!
dyy Fethiiyhn what are you going on about, you nut?
You mean one of the most fascinating days so far!
Yup Ymmy Hershey
Elon Musk is my idol he started of nothing in a mid class family in South Africa and now he own Tesla, SpaceX and PayPal this man is incredible.
MOMO 666 he doesn't own shares in PayPal anymore. He sold them to start SpaceX
ocean hazarika yes but he created PayPal and this is the most important
Don’t forget The Boring Company
Ryan sorry I forgot
Ryan dies it count as irony that I don't get bored hearing about the Booring company!
I live in Brownsville, TX, very soon SpaceX will be launching out of here. About 10 miles away from my city. SpaceX is still building out near the beach. Our local schools are starting Science/Space programs for students, which will include rocket building, etc field trips to the SpaceX facility.
I've been there like 10 times
The two side boosters landing together are just too cool!
Gotta Say great Job Loren, I could feel your joy so much through the video that I started to get emotional as well. What an awesome day!
except that its about a huge wellknown neonazi globalist
Ditto. Very emotional
joyful frauds
I really want to be there when BFR takes off!!!
Does BFR stand for what I think it stands for?
If so, me too.
I will make sure that I'm there for BFR.
haha sure does or you can call it Big Falcon Rocket, both work.
Congrats to Loren and the Verge team, awesome video!
The thrust and payload capabilities is great and all, but almost more important is that the boosters can be so easily re-used
The Verge has hands-down the most beautiful tech videos on YT. The camera work, motion graphics, audio, editing, scripting, etc, etc are just superb
3:05-3:46 bad background noise
5:37-5:45 the video is spent watching Loren during early ascension
These were pretty apparent on first/only view. I'm no video editor, but as a person watching this, it's a bit of a let down. For a video about a new rocket, I think that Loren gets an absurd amount of camera time.
Diamondragan Diamondragan hey! If you wanted to watch the full launch, I’d highly recommend viewing it on SpaceXs RUclips. As for the bill nye interview, the hotel turned on the waterfalls by the pool right before we started rolling. Oh well!
I would like to be a bit more specific. The background noise wasn't handled very well by the hardware, I assume. There are additional glitchy noises in the background that stand out from the waterfalls. They sound artificial. I feel like "superb" audio and editing could have attended to that.
I feel like unabated praise takes the value away from itself. It's spoken without doubt or hesitation. There are people who use their time to rain on the parades of others for their personal entertainment, but that's not what I'm doing. I feel like something is being taken away by the use of the superlative here. In that way, the overly positive commentary is actually disappointing, as if something communicated so easily and with such intensity could be taken seriously or reflect a thorough consideration of the subject matter. It reads shallow.
"Loren Grush on Falcon Heavy Launch w/Elon Musk, Bill Nye" would have set a more appropriate expectation for the video. I do not follow The Verge. This video was trending, and I have more of an interest in technology than other things. This was my first exposure to this news. There is too much footage of the launch and edited cuts of the geography around it for it to be parked behind the host during one of the most intense parts of the ascension. The current title, "Elon Musk on how Falcon Heavy will change space travel", sets up the video to be an interview with the focus on Elon Musk (mentioned first) and Falcon Heavy (mentioned second). Loren is not featured in the title. In order to have appropriate expectations of the video, I would have needed additional information or perhaps better viewing history/knowledge of The Verge.
Your response leads me to believe that my pleas do not fall on deaf ears, unless you are accustomed to remaining polite despite how you might have felt given the criticism. I hope this finds you well.
Diamondragan I like engaging our viewers on videos. Christian and I, the two directors on this video, were definitely not striving for perfection in this video. Many things went wrong, including audio issues and gear malfunctions. We went down originally expecting to shoot a very scripted piece and it evolved into something much more organic as we started gaining access to people to interview, especially Elon, who we didn’t know we were interviewing until hours before.
In many ways, the efforts taken to get this video up in a timely manner meant spending less time on color correct and audio.
In terms of Loren being on screen, she is a very prominent space reporter, and we were following a similar model to her show, Spacecraft, which she hosts (and why the graphic at the front is “Falcon Heavy with Loren Grush”, in the same graphic treatment as the Spacecraft show. We definitely intended this video to cater to her core audience, but it quickly gained traction since it’s the first video about Falcon Heavy that isn’t strictly about the launch from beginning to end.
Either way, thanks for your comments! It’s all helpful, and they definitely don’t fall on deaf ears.
The most beautiful tech videos? Really???
They have good quality videos but they are more informative than they are beautiful. Saying they have the most beautiful tech videos on RUclips is a hell of a stretch.
Totally nailed this video! Great job you guys!
Not for me, my ear hurts from the wind!
This was a really really well done video! So hype!
great music. unobstrusive, not too many layers, just the right feel.
Loren thank you so much for being able to experience the launch and the emotional journey of being there for this historic launch through you. I would have been there no questions asked but alas college schedules are cruel and I couldn't make it just on a whim. Thank you so so much.
emotional fraudsters
Musk>>>>> Stark.... Real Life Iron Man.... Salute.... 👏👏👏
Stark is more of a Howard Hughes (google him) type.
Musk is better than Stark. Stark creates weapons to sell and make money.
remliqa Yeah.... Really inspiring ❤️
or justin hammer ? lol
but Howard Hughes is dead...
i am literally in tears seeing this. i don't know why, but I just want humanity to to learn more about the outer space.
I'm crying... and it's been a week since this... great job job Verge, Magnificent job Spacex!
Tony stark from real life
That would have to be Howard Hughes, Stark was created based on him.
don't be stupid this is FAKE
VT Go be stupid some place else.
Or Avon Hertz in real life.
600K views? Meanwhile, every other pop star is getting 500M for doing nothing.
Ain't our world grand?
Yeah priorities are not right for most people.
Lol
right!
True words.
There's always small percentage of NERD! in society. :)
Loren, you are very fortunate to have a one-on-one interview with Elon Musk.
@6:40 you can hear all the hard work and preparation that went into this launch
Hey Hi Loren! Thanks for sharing with us that incredible moment on the ground!
You have the best job in the world! :-) Excellent video, glad you were able to interview Elon and experience that live. Wish I could have been there as well. Amazing.
It's not that she has the best job in the world, it's that she makes the best out of her job. So can you! stop watching youtube videos and get to work
humparepatta touché
Very well done video Verge team! 👍
Y'all did great on this video!...love the pace, editing, music, that rocket, all of it 💜
I've never cried from a rocket launch before. God damn, this is such a pivotal moment in the history of spaceflight. Just can't wait for folks from my generation to foray into the world of Space Exploration -- the amount of inspiration radiated from this launch will keep giving back in decades to come. Great job on the video BTW, absolutely adore Loren's reporting!
This is probably the best video The Verge has ever done
Well done Loren + team!
discotechwreck thank you!
So synchronized you'd think the two landing video feeds are just copies of each other. Amazing!
3:54 That BRZ Though...
I have no idea why this video made me cry. Actually this gave me a sense of pride in humanity as a whole that we did accomplish something :)
Thanks to that one guy Elon musk
Same here dude, it's really profound and inspiring to see humanity reach new heights (no pun intended).
Not trying to be an ass, but *pride. Sorry!
Abhishek Hahah yeah thanks dude for that correction, eng is my second language so i'll try my best continuing to learn this language. No problem!
•Alangkarn• I helped make this video and I cry when I watch it!
Bro same! I had tears of Pride, Hope, and Happiness when I seen that thing launch, but then to see both boosters come back down and land perfectly like that. OMG this is a Marked Day forever to me.
Thank you Elon and the Space X team. Job. Well. Done.
Are you doing another video for today’s launch? Nice video btw and cheers from Australia!
That... was truly remarkable. I never thought I would see anything even closely resembling this sort of thing outside of cgi and science fiction.
Unbelievable....
Falcon heavy won't change anything. Its all Elon. The guy single handedly has inspired a generation of non-believers to switch and give hope to even the most cynical people that you can genuinely change the world. For sure future inventors and entrepreneurs will cite Elon as their biggest inspiration.
redspin2ify FHR wil change everything....why it vastly reduces the cost to put 1kg in to space. Everything about launches is about weight....That constraint got loosened projects that weren't viable previously. The ISS would be about 10x bigger today for the same cost Having 64 ton capability means modules can be much bigger and more cost effective to begin with.
mwnciboo I believe redspin is saying if it wasn't fhr elon would of made something else.
Besides the price-practical point of view, how is it changing anything all that hugely?
Saul Sepulveda Price is everything.....the major component of any space based project is the launch cost. ATLAS is $20,000 per kg, NASA Solar orbiter $14,000 per kg, DELTA IV $17,400 per kg Falcon 9 $4500 per kg. Falcon Heavy $1700 per kg.....yes $1700. 90% cheaper per kg than similiar rockets and circa 60% cheaper than Falcon 9. The biggest cost used to be the launch....now it isn't. When you reduce any cost of something by 90% and still be profitable you revolutionise the market. Price per KG is what has held us back, now we can move more and heavier equipment into space cheaper and quicker. We can now builder greater orbital platforms and begin the next phase of space exploration.
Thank you for the explanation. You're very right, from that point of looking at it this quite the move forward. Be well man.
Congratulations Sir ELON MUSK and his HARDWORKING TEAM BEHIND.
It’s events like these in our history that make me feel a sense of hope for our future. Thank you to Verge for portraying this moment so well. I actually cried a little.
I loved your reaction when it was blasting off.. really showed your enthusiasm 😊

how did u not faint while talking to elon
Big Nix Yeah, well open your eyes and see what he has just done.
Elon is an actor. This whole thing is a hoax.
just like the moon landing!!!
You honestly think he's done nothing??
Jacob Smith lol yeah Big Nix is a flat earther.
Incredible video, great job guys. Got me emotional again watching this
Jason Achilles Mezilis goosebumps and shivers
Elon Musk and Bill Nye in one video 😍
Watching this again again after the live stream still gives me goose bumps
A couple of centuries ago it would've taken weeks, maybe months to get from one side of the world to the other. The furthest an average person would travel in their lifetime would be a few miles from their place of birth. Yet now anyone can go pretty much anywhere on Earth in less than a day. Is it so hard to imagine a future where interplanetary travel becomes the norm? Technological advancement has accelerated at an unprecedented pace. I'm so glad someone like Elon Musk exists. Without such visionaries we wouldn't be making progress anywhere near this rate.
I'd swipe SpaceX's floor to be part of it.
swipe the floor....
I work at Tesla im already part of this ayyyyeeee
there are positions available at spacex.com
Swiper no swiping
Marcos Lessa sweep
Real life "Iron Man" Go Elon Stark.
watching spacex rockets everyday is my hobby
Brings back memories about Apollo and the launch of Saturn V, 50 years ago, bringing people and cars to the Moon ... and back. Computers were a little less powerful in those day, but rockets surely were awesome.
