Sees 'Bob Lazar' as a chapter title. Skips straight to it!
We stopped using nuclear reactors because they shoot radioactive hydrogen out the back
One thing I have learned from this interview is this unnecessary information. What is the quickest car ever produced? It's a Tesla roadster, and it was on its way the last time I checked at the ludicrous speed of 6.715 mph. That is a crazy fast car!
I love how smart y’all are; keep doing yawls thing ❤
Lex and Tim don't think the Twitter thing was important but they should stop and think, if Elon thought it was important…they should look deeper. Elon was worried about the long term impact of partisan politics running wild in social media. Plus, they likely both lean left. Freedom of speech is not political bickering.
Bring Luke Belmar, will be a interesting conversation
Due to the speed of light human light emissions and visual evidence of space travel is at best only 60 light years from earth. So any aliens further can’t see us and vise versa.
Thanks for you doing. Like these components and contents that you have interviewed. It's a very interesting and meaningful life exploring experience through knowing a person's deep thinking route.🍎💯
Werner von Broun tit this 60 years ago on the moon it is not new tec? bud it is a some to finish the dreams of Werner nice jop
"The Three-Body Problem" by Liu Cixin definitely a novel to read!
I love your podcasts, I barely understand alot of it but it always so intriguing and such great charisma and passion always on display.
Who made it through all 5 hours in 1 sitting?
nice how tim todd talks in metric units all the time 🙂
One thing is for sure; Tim Dodd again shows his format. Well informed, very balanced and sane in his opinions and…: With a a very pronounced, lively way of speaking, just a joy to listen to! Lex in contrast (sorry) is not that understandable (for a foreign English speaker) he very frequently omits the end- d's and t's! It is a little to "mumbled", for my taste… Beside that: Great dispute! Thanks to you both! With Tim being my personal, favourite Space authority! Mike, Germany
5hrs….. It seems like an average tim Dodds video to me.
KSP its the best.
That was a really great interview… 🙂
Nasa of the 60s and 70s had an even more SpaceX philosophy than SpaceX. Apollo 12 was launch during a storm and got hit by lightning twice. The fear of failure was inspired by implemented by Congress and their oversight.
Hugely informative & inspiring 🫀
I will bet that Elon Musk could not answer these questions Lex is asking of Tim even remotely as well as Tim does and I will bet it is because he is not even remotely as smart as Tim is. Elon is most likely a figure head who has been artificially promoted by the billionaire class to keep alive the myth of billionaire saviors, ergo keeping the trickle down economic theory alive and well unquestioned and ripe for a perpetual acceptance of their 'rightful rule' over the mindless masses. Regarding social media, the fact that Elon is a South African rich kid raised under the image of white supremacy who now supports a wannabe autocratic dictator like Donald Trump makes him an existential threat to our democracy and ultimately our civilization. We need more like Lex and Tim and much less of Elon.
Thank you lex, this has been a VERY enjoyable podcast
This podcast is just about some of the most humanity faith inspiring stuff I've ever heard. I just realized I missed all the incredible progress that's happened since like 2010. The absolute math, programming, and engineering genius required to co-operate on creating one huge project that shows the new absolute peak for humanity, marking another "huge leap for humanity" about to happen really much sooner than I ever imagined.
Five hours of Tim smelling his own farts. Pass.
Excellent interview! If Starship were to land horizontally on a runway as Tim suggested, it’s not only a matter of adding bigger wings and retractable wheels, but the structure would need to be strengthened or the ship would crush in on itself. That is what would add the weight to make that impractical. A big redesign would be needed. Thoughts?
The next question after single-stage-to-orbit should have been air-launch and not air-spike engines 🤔
Creating a booming civilian space industry is important because AI and robotics are going to start taking over lower skilled jobs. We need to be creating new industries with new job opportunities.
