> Go back to Elon learning, during an interview, the things Buzz Aldrin—a childhood hero of his—said about SpaceX.
Is there a typo here? Can someone explain what this means in slightly different words? I've love to hear what Buzz Aldrin has to say about Elon Musk, but I just can't parse this phrase.
- AussieWog93 4y agoNative speaker here! Parsing backwards: Buzz Aldrin said (implicitly negative) things about SpaceX. Elon heard the comments he made for the first time during a recorded interview. Elon (implicitly) reacted in a negative/foolish way during the interview, because he idolised Aldrin as a child and was upset to hear these comments.
- JumpCrisscross 4y agoThank you. Sorry HN.
- htag 4y agoI was just trying to understand. No reason for apologizing, communication problems happen :)
- nverno 4y ago> Elon (implicitly) reacted in a negative/foolish He just looks very sad, to the point of fighting back tears. What was the negative/foolish part? (was it a different interview than the 60 minutes one linked above?)
- AussieWog93 4y agoNope, that was just my assumption, given how Elon usually handles these things. Sad to hear that.
- function_seven 4y agoHere's a rewording of the phrase: Go back to the time Elon learned about the things Buzz Aldrin—his childhood hero—said about SpaceX I think this is the interview in question: https://youtu.be/23GzpbNUyI4?t=726 https://youtu.be/23GzpbNUyI4?t=726
