It's time for Elon to step down as the face of SpaceX. He ruins every presentation he's involved in. I can't imagine how awkward it was to be there in person and be help prisoner by a completely unprepared, rambling, lazy talk for over an hour.
- agildehaus 7y agoMost of the SpaceX community thinks it's awesome to not have some polished person up there who knows next to nothing about what they're talking about, and he's been doing it during the entire duration of SpaceX's unbridled success. So, no?
- russdill 7y agoSpaceX has plenty of flashy speakers and uses them appropriately.
- jordanthoms 7y agoYou're not the target audience for this presentation. It's goal was to provide an information dump for the people who have been closely following the project, and it achieved that extremely well. It's not aimed at the kind of person who prefers a flashy presentation over substance, which in this case is extremely rapid progress towards the most capable rocket humanity has ever built.
- jakeinspace 7y agoConsidering the amount of time he spent explaining rudimentary spaceflight concepts (getting to LEO is about speed not altitude, who knew?), I wasn't sure how technical this was going to be.
- remontoire 7y agoTotally agree, no one has ever been inspired by this man! In fact, he has actively put spaceflight back 50 years by making everyone disinterested in going to mars. What we need are more people in suits who give us made up numbers.
