LOOK AT ALL THOSE SMART PEOPLE
JT84_456 lmfao
Your screen must be off and you're probably just seeing a reflection
Cri bb "how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real ?" -Jaden Smith That's very kind of you though(^^♪
TurboCMinusMinus I was trying to go for the "look at all those chickenths " meme .
Queen Elizabeth II Sir yes Sir! And it's *World's * , may I add. You missed the apostrophe for plural , your highness .
Seeing Elon running like an excited kid just shows how much this work means to him. What a guy.
Exaclty what i thougt in the Moment, absolutely great person
And to add to it, this was his last shot to do it, he said if he failed this last time he wouldn't have the money and resources to do it again. It failed 3 times before and the 4th one was the charm. He must've felt completely weightless at that moment.
Mike Illmatic That was way back with the Falcon 1. Still glad they succeeded though, or we wouldn't have any of these awesome Falcon 9's.
Pretty sure that was the Falcon 1 if that's the case.
no the falcon 1 couldnt have landed and one of the guys weares a f9 tshirt
That feeling of watching something you build in action.. That combination of excitement, fear, courage and joy...
2:47 look at him running like an excited 8 year old boy.
I'm so blessed that I was born on elon musk era and I'm so proud of it
Screen Hair dude your profile pic is tripping me out, I kept wiping my screen thinking I had an eyelash or hair that wouldn't budge.... Fakk ik *i need to stop puffin the magic dragon*
Screen Hair Let me just say you are a true and classy Troll 😁
Change that pic I thought it was some hair on my phone trying to smash it out, then I moved up and down and noticed. 😂😂😂😂😠😠😠😠
True. Even you are a masterpiece. You are living as YOU. Make others say that.
How old are you?
This gave me the biggest smile.
My mind was going somewhere else with that sentence.

more on tesla.
@@arisasprah2100 elon musk isnt even a great inventor, hes only good at making innovations for money

@@mylifeismeaningless6270 his ultimate goal is not money..but yeah money is very important to reach his goal and dream
the beauty of this video is can see the happiness of all these employees with different colors, culture, ethnicity, backgrounds, look, etc, all together for one reason
Go Elon! Go SpaceX!
Leo Koutakis thank GOD FOR NASA
Sounds weird, but something tells me that Elon Musk is going to be remembered for all of history as one of the greatest people in mankind.
Leo Koutakis Go Quick And Don't Come Back !! Might Blow Up Earth; Like You Did Mars !!!
Hi.
I watch ur videos!!!
Thank god for dreamers like Elon Musk !!
Billy Webster as en engeenering student this makes me feel like "Damn I want to be a part of this, I want to dream as Mr.Musk and make my dreams come true"
Correction: Thank science for dreamers like Elon Musk.
Touché Alexandre, it must be exciting to be a part of. :)

Hate god for stupid fucks like you . Musk invented nothing.
This makes me cried, I hope one day I could join them as a staff/ employee

This is what crowds of people should cheer for. Not some overpaid QB throwing a ball
Well said. Society needs to learn to admire scientists and engineers, not people who can toss a ball, chase a ball, hit a ball with a stick, etc. The priorities of humankind is all messed up in what they are awed / impressed by.
+Suck Start A 45 How is this even remotely a "distraction just like football"? Also, if you wan tot be "free" and not bound to corporations, you're more than welcome to go to Africa, Asia or South America to live with as much freedom as you can muster... But for a healthy civilised high-tech society to grow, we need corporation, just as much as they need us. And, using freedom as an opposite to the American 200 year old laws, is fucking retarded... Those laws were built on freedom. Back then, America was mostly wilderness, someone could settle and live anywhere with as much freedom as they wanted... Actually, the further back in history you get, the more freedom people had, because they weren't bound by the laws of a country, it was all nature, and nature belonged to everyone to do what they wished. Fuck off with your negative attitude, we want to see human progress here, not human degeneration.
You can cheer for both buddy. Why do there always have to be sides? Geeze... Must admit that more people should cheer for this, but still.
Brendan Agree. But his point was most of the time science is under appreciated. Although it's slowly becoming better.
kjh311 I wanted to agree with you, but I had to think for some seconds. You are definitely right to say this should be celebrated and applauded by most people rather than cheering for overpaid Footballers. We humans are wired uniquely. Though, this is breath taking and innovative step toward a great accomplishment in the future. You will still find hundred of thousands people if not millions, prefer football to this So what I'm trying to insinuate is this; Happiness is Subjective.
The only billionaire worth his billions
bill gets is good too bill is fixing hearth in present day . ellon is fixing the futuer
I don't think Bill Gates is actually fixing shit.. He's 61 years old. By now he could have done great things for humanity.. if he really wanted to.
B24Fox most popular computer software in the wolrd that made it possible for billions of ppl to learn and use PC. Thats arguably more of an impact than Elon has done so far imho. Not to mention he's probably donated more than anyone else.
Bill only donated 40 billions to charity
Valentin Meneses "only" im pretty sure thats more than your whole familly tree will ever do for others, and im talking thousands of years here.
I feel like people dont understand how insane of a feat this was
there are some things, only Time reveals. It may take some more thousand years to properly appreciate what was achieved there
@@egooidios5061 pls dont say thousand
Understanding BS is hard.
tru , people dont , there are no means to understand it , it will take few more 100 yrs
2:47 The way Elon runs is so cute!! Just pure passion and excitement
Earth is nearly 4 billion years old, and we just happen to live in the same time as Elon Musk, lucky us 🍀

0:52 - 1:02 Honestly one of the most cinematic moments on KZhead I have ever seen... to see someone's dream become an innovative reality. It is something us humans strive to do, and to see it play out with Elan is some I can really appreciate. This whole video is f****n beautiful. He is so relatable. And SpaceX (as well as his other companies) have achieved so much. God Bless.
***** YES!!!
was literaly about to comment this, imagine that feeling tho
Joe N. Watch my last video to know more about Elon Musk. He is THE GOD of 21st century.
In the name of humanity, thanks a lot Elon Musk!

Every time when I see this video I feel that I'm a part of this great team. I fell so Happy.
Spelling mistake for feel?
What you don't see is how fucking hard all those engineers push themselves and how intense that work environment is. In the context of that this is even more impressive

no, let's not ruin progress through politics.
Exactly.
vicesat I'll make the assumption you're not American
vicesat he is from South Africa
Lol... As if politics only ruin progress in the USA :')
In 2006, I came to realize that we'd probably not get to any other planet within my lifetime and now, 12 years later here we are, beeing told that we'll probably get to Mars before 2030. Maybe there is still hope to see my dreams come true and I'm really happy that someone that shares this vision is more of a maker than I am.
MCP/ChronicBuzz realy cool!!
Indeed... What an exciting time
Its just inspiring
I get what you mean the time we're in at the moment is truly incredible
I think they made it to the moon in 1903. There just saying that it was later.
It's too fortunate to be born in this era to see how they change the world, like Elon and Steve.
but also unfortunate cos of the pandemic
I still get goosebumps after watching it 20 times.
I bet every single one of these workers that worked on this project got bullied for being a nerd in school but now there bullies are watching them bring human kind one step closer to mars 💕🖖
Tommy George And not just for being a nerd. For looking different or acting a little quirky. But those always change the world.
Old Jedi LMAO. Nerds/gamers rise up! 😤👌
Seriously I don't understand why smart kids get bullied in the US. Back in China if you are smart then you will be the teacher's favorite and nobody could ever touch you.
Elon almost killed himself because of bullying for being a nerd in school
do i hear some deep trauma :P
Man I love elon and spaceX one day they're gonna be the key to moving civilization to another world when the earth is finished
Said Iid HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA
That is if their rockets don't explode.
Hello my brother.
Hey Skankhunt its me, Dildoswaggins
What the fuck are you doing here. I thought we had a deal.
It's like seeing your dreams coming true in those beautiful sky💙, such a great feeling
Like after seeing the SN10 STARSHIP landed !!! 🎉🎉🎉
people will never understand how many thousands of hours went into this
Massive achievement! As a controls engineer, this is awesome and a great step forward. TRULY remarkable.
add to that , their years of education.
only thousands?
Elon Musk himself has put thousands of hours in it, think how much the engineering team has.
And millions of dollars
when Elon Musk run .. it reminds me of my dreams and ambitions as a child. ❤️😭
What is stopping you ?❤️
When he runs, it reminds me of how tall Elon is.
@@daschund7680 money
Jc how old r u
Dam me too he’s so happy Dam he’s an icon
That landing Goosebumps ✨🔥
Elon Musk: he is such a great person..👏👏
This video has become a piece of history. Even in hundreds of years people will watch this with excitement and pride for human space travel.
Not really dude. We went to the moon yeeeeeeeears ago
Yes!!! Fn teared up
😭
This is honestly the most inspirational thing for me.
Goosebumps and tears every time I see this video. Wish I get a chance to see you in person at least once in my lifetime Elon. OMG, you are such an inspiration for this generation and the generations to come.
whenever I feel demotivated I always watch this video again and again......believe me, it helps me to get back on my foot again.......
The first person to be born in mars should feel like a king
or an alien lmao
No he will feel like 👽 alien
You should watch(space between us)
ya lol
I wish
The real tony stark in real life
Yes
tony stark is the Elon Musk of the movies
Fun fact: RDJ visited SpaceX to meet Musk and try to understand him as he found Musk a bit similar to Tony Stark the character he played. He had a Tesla Roadster in his garage in the movie if you notice and Elon even did a cameo
Tony stark is inspired by Elon Musk
@Ver Dann lol😂😂😂
The moment he runs outside to look at his dream doing it’s duty is beautiful
I salute every engineer involved in this mission 🙌👍👌
As my grandfather watched the landing on the moon.... I will soon be able to watch the landing on Mars, the first one, and the difference with these historical moments in history is I get to see Mars be colonised, and if I live long enough, maybe, just maybe my children or even I will be able to live there or visit there.... well done Elon Musk, you've changed our future and you're a pioneer in space travel, as well as making yourself a legend.
Insanity Wrong
E.P. James MacAdams Stop talking Trump!
Alex Siemers Fuck him & you
Alex Siemers Keep on believing that... I'm sure you'll be fine
We can not wait and see if Earth can be "Saved" we have to push and push and push our technology ( Rocket, Computers) and this is the only way to do it,we must travel out in to space, it is Human nature to explore, and learn. I just Hope William Shatner is around to see the launch of MARS ONE with Humans on board heading to Mars itself, Live Long and Prosper.
I am going to work for this man.
Are you gonna work... under him?
I cant no us citizen :(
Nextsuborbital spaceflight sad part is that he's originally from South Africa and Canada don't let that stop you!
+Nextsuborbital spaceflight I think it's a stupid policy too. Some of our smartest people are immigrants. Don't give up on your dream. Gain citizenship through naturalization and they'll surely let you in. We will make it to Mars. A human effort, not just an American one.
Actually the US has a policy to "import" immigrant talent for the scientific/medical/engineering etc industries, so long the person and the company hiring can prove they have skill-sets that are not 'available' in the US. Google "H1-B visas" you might still have a shot, though with Trump that policy might change.
2:47 first time seeing elon run!
WHY AM I CRYING.... OVER A ROCKET LANDING?!!!!
This guy can proudly shout "Who said sky is the limit?!"\
Yes
yessss🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌
Utterly amazing! Look at the passion in those people. Hell yea.
Wasn't expecting u here

2:00 Legend Almost Cried 🥺🥺
This series is magnificent. Congratulations to everyone involved in the production and performance.
1:58 "Okay this is bad, this is actually bad" This was that point for both Tesla, Space X and Elon to sink and you can feel his fear and that those guys made it is really outstanding for all teams across.
Yeah elon musk way back 2008
he said ''this is bad, potentially bad''
actually he has the control en the economy
No it's not that time...in 2008 that thing happened
@@SCY7H3 he said "actually bad"
I know in the future people might look back at this and be: "all that scream for a rocket landing straight back on earth?". Well, for us right now is groundbreaking.
I always keep thinking about the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice, when they landed that rocket in a vulcano. When I first saw that I was like: sure James. Keep on dreaming. That's definitely not how rockets work. I'm glad to say: I stand corrected.
There are people currently who think "Ahh no big deal" They'll continue to exist.
Not really. The idea has been around for a while but nobody's ever really thought that it was worth it since they could build more powerful engines with less chance to fail. It's an impressive idea on paper, but revolutionary it sure the fuck ain't. Could actually help sink Musk's company, to be totally honest... Rocket's ain't airplanes. They're basically artillery without the explosive payload.
knupder Thanks. You prove my initial point.
joedanero What point? You realize that NASA used a reusable first stage to launch its space shuttles for more than thirty years, right?
Wow i almost forgot the crowds and how close people where before, everyone was standing like on eachuther and it seems so awsome... I sure wish we can do it again soon
2:47 its mad cute how excited he is 😂
0:52 is really an iconic shot. Going from a boy dreaming about inter-planetary life, to a man witnessing his own rocket launch.
K J. R hit me so hard when i watched it
Wow, this is absoluetely AMAZING! Elon Musk is indeed the closest thing to the real-life Iron Man, Tony Stark. Cheers from Hungary, good job, guys!

@@abhishekagarwal787 nah nasa is still going to operate, they now mainly build rovers and habitats
"holy smokes man" hahaha
Everything took place on Earth. Is the feat here the cost, the speed, or the similarity of conditions to a Mars landing?
It's about the booster rocket coming back and landing safely. Now they can hopefully refurbish the rocket and use it for another launch and greatly reduce cost of a future one.
+Mark Guinn I think now it's not only about the cost, but also testing the retropropulsive technology that can land big ship where parachute won't work, as NASA interested when they re-light their engine at altitude where the condition similar to Martian atmosphere
Moduhlize let's just say he's a Californian
Maybe he really thinks it is a holy smoke that's emanating off the rocket.
Sir Elon is a perfect example of dedication...Even after facing so many struggles, he never gave up. Salute you Sir! Would say, "I'm proud to be a human."

Second explosion is ur heart beat I thank dear ❤❤❤❤❤
It is incredibly humbling to see a genius like Elon feel fear and anxiety 2:00 Never give up people
Genious? He is a college dropout and never invented anything, his engineers are doing the work he is just a pr "genius".
He spends almost all his time engineering and less than 2% of his time with public speaking - in these public speeches, he stutters a lot, and rarely ever prepares himself much. Is this what you think makes him a "PR genius"?
rhetorical ABM Sprint college dropout? He graduated from TWO colleges.
TheScalexWrites In 1995, at age 24, Musk moved to California to begin a PhD in applied physics and materials science at Stanford University, but left the program after two days to pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations in the areas of the Internet, renewable energy and outer space.
Muskar "He spends almost all his time engineering" Source for that claim? Because he isn't an engineer :) "he stutters a lot, and rarely ever prepares himself much." He doesn't have to be prepared since the audience is never critical or sceptical. "Is this what you think makes him a "PR genius"?" How about the huge personal cult around him and the fact that he fails on every one of his promises and yet people picture him like a successful businessman and engineer. While every single of his companies failed on a financial basis and their products are horrible as well. Yet everybody talks about him how great he is and progressive. Utter bullshit this guy is a fraud, at least the engineers I wolk with from day to day know this but the general public treats him like a saint (in the US). Look at the simple facts, the Tesla is a failure and has serious quality issues. The F9 has serious reliability issues hasn't been reused yet and the price is increasing every year. F9H 4 years late and still no launch but whatever right? Hyperloop we shouldn't even talk about that. His mars rocket ? Yeah elon try to figure out how to go to space with your simple F9 then we will talk again. Just look up the criticism on him, he is a fraud and only people who are not in scientific community or in engineering industry fall for his bullshit. Greetings.
every rapper ever- "showing off stacks of money and gold chains" Elon Musk- "Launching rockets into space" Stay in school kids.
But didnt he like... drop out?
Of a PHD program... He has a double degree from Queens University.
J. E. Please don't be reductive We can celebrate Elon without being negative about hip hop artists
Not every rapper..
elon may have gone to school but he is a big supporter of being self taught
Now landings are routine. Amazing
This still sends shivers down my spine today.
He tried to land an orbital class rocket. "He's crazy" *Now decided to launch a car to Mars*
and he succeeded!
Yea he did xd
Then sold 8 tickets of a trip to space to a Japanese dude!
Who is here after Falcon Heavy Launch .. Go Elon !
Rajesh Chavan me!GO ELON! ;D
R u stupid ?
you can tell everyone in that room is so much passionate about it
Even after 6 years in, still started to cry after seeing this video.
"if you need inspiring words, you should not do it" Elon ❤
2:09 this guy’s reaction is the best, because he realized before everyone else
I never thought I’d see a rocket LAND ITSELF BACK, let alone heading to mars in my lifetime.
7 years later same feeling same ambition new rocket
I can only imagine Elon Musk's heart beat rate at that moment!
I was thinking the same thing.. U can almost see it beating out his chest
I know people who think this stuff is fake. You simply cant fake a reaction like that.
Kevin Kelbie this stuff is not but one can surely fake that reaction
Exactly its real as can be remember when they had the first two crash one at sea next one crashed on land
I am sure the wives of the people who think that this is fake fake an equally impressive reaction in bed.
When it lands...... Goosebumps
these videos always makes me cry :(
