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.

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.
 
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.

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.

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

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.

"Sorry, space questions only"

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

"This is the IAC, space questions only."

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
One thing I appreciate about Musk, is that he's taken note of the gaming industry when it comes to generating hype.

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....

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.
 
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.

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