Talking to Elon Musk and Jim Bridenstine about SpaceX fly astronauts for the 1st time! #DM2

I had the opportunity to meet up with SpaceX CEO, Founder and Chief Engineer, Elon Musk as well as NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine to get their thoughts on this new era of human spaceflight!

We spoke in the historic Firing Room 4 at Kennedy Space Center where SpaceX will command the rocket to launch for Demonstration Mission 2 with Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley!

The fact that Musk and Bridenstine give you an exclusive interview when every network around the world is vying for their attention? That's serious street cred, my man.

"I always love talking to you" - Elon Musk. Man that must feel so good Tim!

When Elon Musk expresses that he likes your interviews in particular, you know you're doing something right. I am so excited to be alive in this point in history

[averagejoe]

Elon: "I always love talking to you"
Tim: *gives himself a mental trophy*

[MekDog]

When Elon musk isn't talking, he looks like my gta character in a cutscene.

Imagine having Elon Musk say he always loves talking to you, and probably brought along Jim Bridenstine because of this. You've got an IN my friend!

"i always love to talking to you" oh my god i can just imagine how that must have felt to hear that being uttered by Elon. amazing Tim

"I always love talking to you."

— Elon Musk: 9:42

[xuxnx]

"Congratulations. You had a kid."

Elon: /mathematical calculations in head/ ...Oh yeah...

[Voyager_AU]

"The willingness to fail is something NASA has lacked."

Jim isn't pulling punches lol

[rodrigorosatoalves]

I love how Musk says he's tried to buy ICBMs from Russia so casually.

[rehd]

This is not an interview, this is a conversation. They all feel so confortable.

[superkasanova]

This is the most wholehearted interview I have ever seen with Elon. He seems to jive with your energy. Congrats on winning his trust. It shows up in this interview

[johnnyboy]

"You had a kid."

"Oh yeah."

[rz]

CNN: "can we record an interview before launch?"
Musk: "nah, sorry I'm too busy right now."
Tim: "may i ask..." *musk* yeah sure u can, jim and me looking forward to welcome you at cape"

[rogeriopenna]

Jim and Elon at that night, with their respective friends: "wow, we got interviewed by the Everyday Astronaut! Again! We must be getting famous!"

[firedragon]

9:42 “I always love talking to you”....jaw dropping

[stevenattaway]

"I tried to buy some ICBMs in Russia." - Only Elon Musk

[prochetasur]

I love how humble Elon is. When he was on the verge of crying, in an interview and the host asked him"WHAT ARE U TRYING TO PROVE TO GENE CERNAN AND NEIL ARMSTRONG?"He said"I AM TRYING TO MAKE SPACE FLIGHT ACCESSIBLE TO ALMOST ANYONE." And never said"I AM TRYING TO PROVE TO THEM..." .This man wants to serve humanity so bad. I had to address this. Love from a 16 year old, INDIA

Tim has a way of getting Elon to talk like I haven't seen with other interviewers. Great to see this exclusive!
