Seeing him tearing up, made me want to cry. You can see his work, his dreams that are inspired by his idols, are his passion and he means it. Mr. Musk, if you ever see this comment, don't mind the naysers, keep doing what you're doing. You can't always make everybody happy, just remember that you're doing great things for the world.

It sucks to see Elon nearly tear up for his idols not recognizing and accepting all his ridiculously hard efforts at 12:02

Seyha Leonhartz I don't know wether I lost (ALL) respect for the astronauts, since they come from a different time, a time where everything had to be " 'Murica! " to the max. So I can see why they would disagree with Elon, from their perspective. However, they should also recognize that in this day and age, the funds for space exploration can NOT come from the government, and that private companies are WILLING to step up. They should embrace that, and live with the obvious thought that if the private sector would not step up, there wouldn't be ANY space exploration at all.. That's just the way it is, and they should learn to accept, and live with that.

Deejay JeanP "Murica" to the max"... Really?? It's interesting how perception in the "Now" can change History... NO, I can't see how they could/would disagree with Elon, from their perspective!! They're F-ing Astronauts=Meat on a stick that follow orders/instructions... Period!!!

The part where he started to tear up because of what Neil and Buzz said proved that this guy is in it to legitimately help society.

It was Neil and Buzz. It was Neil and some lesser known astronaut. Buzz has stated that he thinks Musk is doing great things.

Wasn't it awesome to see how human he is? He is a billionaire and double CEO, and he is also a human being like the rest of us. He didn't try to deny he was sad; he simply admitted it, clearly felt the feelings and didn't try to run away from them. How awesome is that! I am so full of admiration for him.

Here we are 8 years later and SpaceX dominates the race

So....what did Neil Armstrong mean when he said one small step for man...one giant leap for mankind???? Guess he didn't mean that....

Devin Creighton Exactly the first thing that occurred to me as I watched tears swelling, but NOT dropping, from Elon... People/Humanity are for the most part a crap-shoot depending on which way the wind is blowing at any given point, but that doesn't much matter... Perhaps it was Envy that the Ego could not deal with when observing this man's accomplishments which they "perceive" as greater than theirs...? Unbeknownst to Neil Armstrong, he has given Elon the greatest gift anyone could give another, INSPIRATION... which Elon has taken to True Action in a Masterfully Exemplary fashion! That's ALL that Matters!! I applaud and support Elon by any means I can as MANY others do!!!

Mr. Elon u r the one who made it and u r the inspiration for the small engineers like us with a big dream. U r the one who can think of a common man going to the space. Its very simple "u need to fly ? Lets build ur own rocket". We really appreciate ur confidence. The time will come when these all astronauts will hve a sneak peek and tell " wow lets fly it, its beautiful".

Truly, Elon Musk is an inspiring person.

I always found his stutter to be so endearing. I felt so sad for him when he was holding back tears and it forced him into his stutter.

IMO Neil Armstrong and other astronauts got too much credits compared to their achievement. Is it only me thinking scientists and engineers of Apollo project made really great deal? Without Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11 was supposed to be successful.

just support him... He will get us to Mars. .. Make mankind a multi planet species.... Elon you are making kids dream again...

In 6 years he grew his wealth by 10x being worth 2 billion in 2012 and now (2018) $20.1 billion dollars

Imagine in the hundreds, thousands of years to come. Hell, even millions when we have huge ships and look back to this video and small ship.

The government needs to scrap the SLS and spend that money helping the private sector.

8:35: The moment the interviewer fell in love with Elon.

More Power to him. I really wish him the best.

This guy and his company are inspirations. I applaud.

At 12:18 the man is in tears. He wished Neil Armstrong would have come to his campus and helped him instead of -vely saying its mediocre.

Glad to see this man get more mainstream recognition, this needs more views. SpaceX is awesome, but I hope to see other formidable space companies compete with it in the future, to inspire more innovation and progress.

What an amazing visionary. Nothing wrong with collaboration suggestions but keep going forever. Inspiring.

I can't believe i'm saying this, but I agree with the President. Commercialize the space program and let companies like SpaceX take their own risks. They're already doing so much in such short time. Obviously they're doing something right. I applaud Mr. Musk. This is great stuff.

The main barrier between us and space is money. Elon has proven that space can see lower costs like any other technology reaches over time. He has also noted on many occasions the importance of creating reusable rockets and spacecraft and how he aspires to achieve this. I see no reason to back the man and his endeavors when they are so noble. The New Space revolution is going to bring some exciting results and I'm glad that as an upcoming engineer I will get to take part in it.

12:30-12:54 was he about to cry or something :( it's sad that the legendary astronaunts were unable to see what Elon sees.

@ 4:30 I agree

This man is a real life Tony Stark. What an inspiration.

I work at NASA and I think it's a blast. It's not that we live in the past, we were actually stoked as hell when elon shot Dragon into space. When NASA awarded the contract to spaceX it was supposed to take over for the shuttle with a minimal time gap. Unfortunately and understandably, due to some extremely complex engineering problems, which are inevitable with any new technology, they got delayed a bit. Neil doesn't represent NASA policy and charlie bolden is one of the coolest guys ever.

Right now there are limited Tesla cars on the road. Model S deliveries don't even start until July 2012. It's a new company that put is putting a limited amount of vehicles on the road at a high price and will eventually put more out at a more reasonable price. Just because you haven't seen it yourself doesn't mean it's not there. There is no doubt that China is becoming a problem. Elon's main goal right now is making things cheaper. $1,000/lb launch costs over $10,000/lb is pretty good.

probably not the guy most would bet on?... shoot I would... In a heart beat.

Sorry for my manners but I kept hearing space sex lol

That's going over the top. You have to understand that in order for a private space company to succeed, there has to be profit involved. Unfortunately when it comes to space, the profit is generally seen in the form of new discoveries and knowledge, not money. Neil Armstrong is just skeptical that private space companies are going to be able to turn enough profit to really help us maintain our leadership in space and be able to discover anything.

Sarah Palin... lol I'm with you mate! Elon is a genius and I have zero doubt he will prove everyone wrong, he is the future.

Neil is a good guy who just happens to be wrong. If you ever met him (and I have many times) you'd know that he is humble and thoughtful.

To take that a step further, ADinJK, the children of many future generations will have lessons to learn from people like Elon musk. I still appreciate George westinghouse, and Howard Hughes. Elon seems to be heading for a very powerful impact in the way humanity lives.

He is the best.

It was all private anyway, it's not like NASA conjured spacecraft out of thin air, they contracted with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Rockwell International, and so on.

Damn, Elon looks like he's about to cry when Armstrong's comments are brought up. I love that guy, and I totally support what he's doing. Besides, it's not like NASA is making any innovation in manned space exploration.

Elon Musk is a phenomenal human being. Go Elon! Go SpaceX!

Prove them wrong Elon!!!! You can do it!!!

XCOR Aerospace, Blue Origin, Bigelow Aerospace, Sierra Nevada Corporation, and Boeing. Many are a part of NASA Commercial Crew Program and receive government seed money.

Good work Elon! Godspeed to you!

I will be your competitor... Elon Musk

There are certainly a lot of weird and unnecessary regulations. But you're wrong, it really comes down to money. Money rules everything, including space.

I just picture Elon saying something like that about me and immediately I know how he feels

This guy is my hero!

yeah..i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks low earth orbit missions are boring

Go Elon! Prove them wrong

Money in the sense that it guides politics, yes.

why is this the first time hearing about "spacex"?

Elon..you are my hero!

According for Forbes... his salary is $33,280. Good guy!

Why are you so angry at the man? He HAS produced revolutionary electric vehicles. The best in the field. I'm sure they have their flaws, but were the first internal combustion vehicles perfect? No. This is the beginning of a new industry, it takes time to reach near perfection. Plus I'd like to see another EV that can get 300 miles and get 0-60 in under 4 seconds WHILE looking cool. Did you miss the successful Falcon launches and Dragon tests? Stay tuned April 30 when he gets cargo to the ISS.

Anyone with any knowledge of the space industry knows the milestones he has completed. Few COUNTRIES have even been able to get to orbital space yet his PRIVATE COMPANY has accomplished this. No results you say? If the launch in 9 days is successful (it probably will be) SpaceX wil be the first private company to have delivered to the ISS. It's important to remember that he is only one member of the large team that is SpaceX. Also, remember him and Armstrong have different jobs.

It's fucked up because you can see the tears in his eyes when he thinks about what Neil Armstrong said.

Start now :)

Good man.

The comments Neil Armstrong made are downright disgusting! He should know better than anyone how much bureaucracy and waste occurs at NASA. Elon Musk is one of the few Americans left who has great vision, and the resources to make it happen. Humanity is lucky to have him.

Why not disarm all the ICBMs and use them for space exploration instead?

He's living the american dream

Who’s here in 2018? 😂

Whos here after bob and dug 😰😰

ironically, armstrong & cernan were at the same point of evolution during their heyday. they should be cheering him on.......

One question, other than NASA contracts and placing satellites into orbit, where is the money for the commercialization of space? NASA contracts still utilize taxpayer money, and industry has no interest in anything other than satellites. Therefore, there is no commercial interest to put a man on Mars. So then I must ask, where is the commercial incentive? Space exploration, at least at this point is a humanitarian/scientific pursuit, not a commercial one.

Heroes go visit the factory!

It's not money, it's pure politics, the reason why NIMBY people can stop a launch pad from being constructed because it creates noise, or because there's a 0.0000001% chance of debris falling from the sky (still less likely than lightning). If we all made decisions purely on practical basis, we'd be camping out on Mars by now.

idol!

Amazing times we live in. Those old astronauts just doesn't want people to surpass them how egotistical old farts!

Well...Armstrong's dead...so lets go to space

The little scrappy company won and pioneered the world's Imagination.

I wanna do what he is doing when I grow up esept I don't wanna just go around our solar system I want to send man to gauged also name gleise 581

NOBODY finds them exciting. There's a reason it's called "space EXPLORATION". We discovered LEO 50 years ago.

India!?

sa

What two "engineering" companies is he running successfully? Tesla Cars? Thats a joke. What else? I am not impressed by all this "talk" I am hearing. Lets see him first accomplish even close to what is being promised before we give him CREDIT. Its amazing how a man is getting credit for doing all these things when he hasn't accomplished anything in the field so far. Neil Armstrong can talk since he IS ACCOMPLISHED. Musk is unproven so far.

Well, Neil Armstrong died later that year. Karma. lol

I dont want any American space programs having to beg russia for rides... does NASA have no shame? wtf

...I notice tesla is a favorite scientist of conspiracy theorist

i will bet on him.......
