That "live" Elon interview seemed really pre-recorded... Did anyone else get that feeling?

only that they cut to him as they were counting down... it seemed genuinely teary

No. If it was pre-recorded, I'd be surprised if he was "lost for words".

  Ooooops. Shows me. I turned it off to leave work.

Yeah, everything about that seemed pre-recorded, especially considering how calm everyone in the background was. Understandable though considering how busy Elon is.

  might be people focused on their job, like getting a satellite at the agreed-upon position :) (but I agree, forget this satellite stuff, show me where the trash landed, and tell us where the fairings are!)

  Oh absolutely. I didn't mean it as a negative. It was just an observation

Maybe they tried a couple times...probably because he was choking up. :)

I think he was tearing up. I can't even imagine the stress everyone on that team was feeling up until about 3 minutes ago. One thing is for sure: the party in Los Angeles is going to be incredible tonight, haha!

No, because they screwed up and enabled his camera feed a few seconds before they told him he was live. That would have been edited out if it hadn't been live. Either that, or they're going for that extra touch of verisimilitude, I guess.

No, he was just doing an elevator pitch on reusability. Has probably done that thousands of times now so it will sound a bit scripted.
- madamelic 10y ago
  Fair enough, probably right. He just seemed really calm for what just happened. Like no emotions. :) Maybe he was just flipping out and not sure how to react yet.

    He seemed teary-eyed at first, and his hair looked mussed as though he had been pulling it or holding his head. Might have been a headset, but not sure what you expected. You can only WOOOO! for so long before it becomes forced.

No, you could actually here the person counting down and then telling him he was on.

It was just because they went from crazy cheering to utter silence. If they had have kept the feed from the main room mixed in, it would have felt like "normal tv"
