    Elon mentioned on Twitter that he didn’t shower for five days prior to the interview for lack of time, the whole team being in surge mode for the first orbital launch. The fact that he granted you (and us) a 2 hours interview speaks volume to the esteem he holds you in. Congratulation to you and your team Tim!
  • @scottmanley
    My father was an engineer and designer who specialized in developing manufacturing facilities and I grew up with an appreciation of how critical the optimization of manufacture is.
  • @kazewaze.
    You gotta love it when the interviewer is actually knowledgeable on the topic so you can have awesome moments like this: 45:00
  • @LV_223
    Wonderful video. For me personally, the best learning moment was at 17:30 when Elon said “Possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist.” That is truly wonderful advice, if you chose to take it as such and not a simple statement.
  • @flatspin7
    The whole conversation about the folly of “Optimizing something that should not exist” is absolute genius.
  • @mm-qd1ho
    I really like the straightforward, non-nonsense conversation. Elon not trying to gloss over mistakes, Tim not doing slick editing, just honest questions and answers. Walking around the site makes everything that much more real. Well done.
  • @justinperry9754
    I love how comfortable his employees seem to be around Elon. A lot of places there is tension anytime the big boss is walking around.
  • @PF9O
    47:49 Elon thinks and concurs on Tims improvement suggestion. Incredible moment, credit to Tim for such in depth knowledge of these rockets.
  • @bobthebomb1596
    "You must have a name not a department" One of the wisest statements I have ever heard. How many processes exist solely because "It's always been done that way?"
  • @Simon_Said
    This is the kind of access an interviewer can get when they're asking genuine questions, in good faith and with genuine interest - not like the majority of the scoop-hunting or 'gotcha' press, mining for clickbait. Brilliant job Tim, one of the best and most enlightening pieces of SpaceX media to date.
  • What I find fascinating as I rewatch this interview is the workers don’t seem Aw-struck or surprised to see Elon out on the tarmac. He obviously is out there working with his team every day and seeing him is a normal day-to-day thing. Leading by example.
  • A few hundred years from now , kids in school will be learning in their history classes about Elon Musk like we learned about the Wright Brothers. We are going through a special time right now with this brilliant man.
  • @marioiram1975
    “Possibly, the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize something that should not exist “ Gotta love this man.
  • @simonthehuman
    1. Make requirements less dumb 2. Delete part or process 3. Simplify or optimize 4. Accelerate cycle time 5. Automate
  • I expected an hour of interview to be a slog. I am positively surprised. there's literally no boring filler, no bullshit. This man knows what he's talking about. the time just flies.
  • 47:27 The moment that Elon refers to in the new tour video. Great job Tim, love your work and thanks for actively improving the starship. :)
  • @shriq177
    I love how Elon references things from Tim's videos, the fact that he's a fan is so cool.
  • @markjt193
    "It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements...". So good to see Elon Musk so relaxed and engaged. He clearly relished the opportunity to get so much of his design philosophy and principles across. Just the best SpaceX video to date.
  • @Knate1104
    It’s funny because for as long as I can remember, visiting factories or seeing them on tv, I’ve always been in awe of the manufacturing systems that make it all happen. Under appreciated to say the least
  • @kylenorman3867
    45:07 Seeing Elon consider the addition of thrusters to starship was a testament to his earlier statements about everyone being chief engineer; ideas come from everywhere!
