They wouldn't know what questions to ask and wouldn't know how to followup any answers even if they were fed questions.

That explains why NASA chose Starship HLS for the Artemis moon missions. Nasa is considering scraping SLS. Instead SpaceX would launch astronauts into LEO on Crew Dragon, dock with Starship HLS lunar lander, go to the moon, come back to LEO ... That would involve lot's of unmanned starship tanker launches & recoveries to refuel the HLS. Even Starship HLS would be launched unmanned into LEO. No problem if a few unmanned Starships blow up/burn up in the process. That eliminates endangering the crew because they would be flying safely on Crew Dragon.

And it's easy to misstime a response while walking and filming in a unique high noise environment.

The audience and board members noticeably chuckled and passed this off as an odd question. Elon paused, thought, then gave a detailed response in which he indicated his love for the idea, as indicated by his purchase of the James Bond Lotus “submarine” and how fun a project it would be to make that real. He then went on to answer that no, Tesla would not likely pursue that Avenue. I was amazed that he took the time to answer what was obviously an uncomfortable question for most in the room.

There are a few cuts. Elon would not have taken this interview if he didn't want to. The timeframe was probably agreed upon. This is not just for KZread viewers. This is to get information out there, to recruit new talent from the top colleges and universities. And to find these types of people who maybe never went to school. It also informs Investors of what he is doing and shows what their money is going toward.

Elon is the man.. You can tell he is trying to explain things so even are simple minds can understand it somewhat. I love what he is doing for space exploration and technology.

This was such a nice walkthrough of the compound, and all the knowledge that Elon has about rockets is astonishing. Wow, if anybody can get us to another planet, it surely must be him. Let us prey that he keeps his health and drive for the years to come. We all need him to help us set the way into the future.
