Lets ask some questions about worm holes!

 

[chrizzz09]

Wait, was that just now a normal question, without promotion and other bullshit?...

Can't believe it..

 

[Jarmel]

Lets ask some questions about worm holes!

"Sir, what do you think about Nolan's Interstellar?"

 

[TyrantII]

Good on Elon for actually findings ways to give informative answers to some of these questions and segue into real topics.

Shame on dipshits trying to plug their crap on a webcast with 25k viewers. Blow it out an airlock.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

"How do we know you aren't really Cobra Commander?"

 

[Saganator]

FUUUUCK. Fire the person handing out the mic. Better yet, get Elon out of there, lock the doors behind him, and set fire to the whole building.

 

[eyeball_kid]

I thought the 42 engines was just coincidence, but now I'm wondering if Musk deliberately made it that as a nod to Hitchhiker's Guide.

 

[Disxo]

Elon is taking the one way trip first.

 

[Jezbollah]

88k viewers on SpaceX's Youtube live stream..

They should be having the attendants pre-screening questions before handing off the mic.

 

[Kwhit10]

I'm happy for this. I hope this starts a 'race' to Mars. If you look at all the awesome technology that was developed as a part of the space race to the moon I have high hope for some nice technology and engineering advancements to come from this.

 

[Oriel]

Finally, a legitimate question. Someone needs to also ask how to mitigate the long term effects of micro-gravity during the journey.

 

[Shy]

Elon is taking the one way trip first.

I'd like to join him.

 

[Saganator]

Fire them.

 

[Jarmel]

One of the most important presentations in humanity's history and we have people asking about Michael Cera, taking shits on Mars, and people peddling their shit.

I'd like to join him.

Me three. Fuck us as a species. We are doomed either way.

 

[Disxo]

I'd like to join him.

With Michael Cera

 

[TheOMan]

How has he not just left the stage in disgust is beyond me.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Kickstarter promotion? Jeez at least check what people wanna ask first or something.

 

[Killthee]

Everybody is trying to promote their own stuff.

 

[superdeluxe]

Guy wants to show his prototype BS to ELON


God damn it IAC, prescreen shi BS.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I thought the 42 engines was just coincidence, but now I'm wondering if Musk deliberately made it that as a nod to Hitchhiker's Guide.

Considering he made a Battlestar reference earlier, I doubt it's a coincidence. Should have gone with 47 though.

 

[jmdajr]

Jesus Christ

 

[Saganator]

Finally, a question that likely restored Elon's faith in humanity

 

[chrizzz09]

"I have an electric bus startup. Can you come out and take a look?"


Holy shit.

 

[Laurentius]

"Sorry, space questions only"

"Yeah, but can you please come see my electric bus..."

"This is the IAC, space questions only."

Goddamnit people

 

[Krakatoa]

Kickstarter promotion? Jeez at least check what people wanna ask first or something.

I think they probably lie about their questions when asked.

 

[ghostmind]

Please Elon notice me! Here' s my resume! Look at my prototype! Endorse my Youtube channel!


What a waste of a Q&A.

 

[Jezbollah]

Its actually annoying these idiots have taken mic time away from people who would have asked good questions.

 

[superdeluxe]

The IAC needs to get hammered for this.

 

[Oriel]

Musk not taking a dump on SLS like everyone else. Clever, don't want to piss off Congress.

 

[kAmui-]

"I have an electric bus startup. Can you come out and take a look?"


Holy shit.

I actually let out a loud grunt alone in my apartment...

Elon should buy those people a one way trip to the sun.

 

[ghostmind]

Let Elon walk off and release the gas!

 

[superdeluxe]

Lets put the Master mind behind all of this on the first ship to Mars.

These people need to DIAF.

 

[Alexlf]

Half the questions wasted on garbage, jeez.

 

[Tugatrix]

bye, fast let's got out of here

 

[Epsilon-delta]

No more Q & A; I guess they got tired of the bs questions and peddling.

 

[Oriel]

"Sorry, space questions only"

"Yeah, but can you please come see my electric bus..."

"This is the IAC, space questions only."

Goddamnit people

What an utter cock. No wonder Musk was glad to bail before the last question could be asked.

 

[entremet]

So sad that NASA has a baby budget. We should have done this yesterday.

Obama has been kinda wack with NASA.

 

[nekkid]

One thing I appreciate about Musk, is that he's taken note of the gaming industry when it comes to generating hype.

 

[andycapps]

What a disaster of a Q&A. Whoever facilitated that aspect should be embarrassed. Musk handled that much better than I would have.

 

[Fersis]

Yo' Elon how 'bout my Mix tape huh?

One thing I appreciate about Musk, is that he's taken note of the gaming industry when it comes to generating hype.

I believe he actually was a game dev for a year or so lol

 

[Hale-XF11]

A recap of the Q&A in case anyone missed it.

 

[chrizzz09]

What a disaster of a Q&A. Whoever facilitated that aspect should be embarrassed. Musk handled that much better than I would have.

Yes he handled it really good. But hasn't he said that there would be a technical Q&A after the Presentation for technical questions? Or does this come now?

Edit: Oh shit, I just realised that THAT was the supposed technical Q&A....

 

[blu]

Apart from the pathetic Q&A part (not on Elon's end), that was a highly informative and inspiring live event. The best thing I like about Elon is how strongly motivated he is.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

What is really crazy is our tribal nature. Inagine 200 years from now when human Martians who have advanced in numbers and tou have communities and cities criticize human Earthlings and feel that they should be able to self govern away from Earth etc.

So every Gundam show ever.

 

[Disxo]

Awesome presentation though, sad about the Questions and answers.


But now



LETS PLAY KSP

 

[diaspora]

Has it ended? I listened to a bit of the dumpster-fire QA, and I want to download the entire thing for the bus.

 

[Morts]

The Verge's liveblog mentioned Musk doesn't think deep-space radiation in space is a big deal. Shouldn't that be concerning?
