Elon speaking on 09-27-2016 at the IAS

[dpeilow]

Does anyone know the tune?

 

[Skotty]

Does anyone know the tune?

No, but some of the Tesla presentations used music by Morgan Page, so there's a chance it might be him.

 

[Ulmo]

I guess a trip to Mars won't be on time either.....

It's like a quarter to half century late.

 

[Grendal]

According to Jeff Foust they are seating now. People are running to get the best ones. " Like Walmart on Black Friday"

It's like a quarter to half century late.

I meant once the trips are routine, they will be late starting at a specific time.........nevermind, joke failed.

 

[Grendal]

I'm glad we had the video to keep us entertained. I've already watched it three times.

Big.

[ggies07]

the music is quite hypnotic........

 

[Skotty]

I'm holding off on the video until after. I want to hear from the boss first.

 

[3Victoria]

Starting now

 

[dpeilow]

I think he needs to remember he's talking to the IAC, not a high school class (so far)...

 

[BluestarE3]

Is it just shadows from the dim lighting or is Elon sporting a mustache?

 

[Grendal]

Is it just shadows from the dim lighting or is Elon sporting a mustache?

Nah. He's just going for the scruffy look.

 

[ecarfan]

I seem to have lost the livestream, it reverted to the SpaceX logo. Maybe my connection is bad.

 

[dpeilow]

5 tanker trips to fill one spaceship? Hmm.

 

[ecarfan]

My video stream is starting and stopping, but I did notice the multiple "tanker" refuels needed before the spaceship boosts towards Mars.

This is a massive, and massively exciting, plan. I am loving it. And I am sure that Robert Zubrin is also loving it.

 

[dpeilow]

The full Howard Hughes

And I am sure that Robert Zubrin is also loving it.

Robert Zubrin advocates the simple approach. His whole message was to avoid the in-orbit rendezvous / Battlestar Galactica approach.

 

[ecarfan]

Yes but Zubrin was an early advocate of making rocket fuel on Mars.

My livestream is terrible. Watching this in fits and starts is making me crazy...

 

[Grendal]

Elon is worth billions and he basically said he is accumulating money to make this happen.

Ecarfan. I have no issues with the livestream so it must be something with whatever you are using. I'm watching directly on YouTube.

According to YouTube there are over 100K people watching this live.

 

[Ulmo]

(Main presentation ended.) Very great!

 

[dpeilow]

I've been watching via the SpaceX page Youtube no probs.
