his title is not the founder of spacex, it's chief engineer of spacex. the guy did not study rocket science in college. he came into rockets not knowing a lot of rocket scientists. >> you're right. he had a physics degree and decided when he was going to get into rockets that he would read a lot of textbooks and everything he could basically find and, you know, over the years has had plenty of hard won knowledge working through issues. >> i think one of the most asto heavy or the private astronauts going to the iss was the first time he sent a dragon cargo capsule up to iss. a lot of kids light up rockets for fun. here's a guy who says i want to be in the rocket business, teaches himself about rocket business and sends a capsule to the international space station. >> that was huge. here they were with a brand new rocket not only proving out the falcon 9 and putting dragon on it. >> your book title includes the words or phrase the desperate early days. explain to me why. >> there's two reasons. they faced both a cash crunch and a time crunch as they were

spacex is formed by a south african. of course, the real thing, you may bring up the trash talking between billionaires. when billionaires start trash talking about something, you know it is important the cut is is that's because it is important to them, and they made money elsewhere, so they know how to do that. this is a big deal, and we will see this rolling out over the neck few months as more and more of the people of prominence fly, and eventually it is going to be ho-hum, and when it is ho-hum, you know it is real. alix: to piggyback off of that, what are we talking about in terms of the other companies and how they enter this space without trying to siphon off the space that spacex and blue origin have developed? ed: everyone has a slightly different business model. virgin galactic, for example, its technology is very different. it uses a fuselage airplane to deliver its aircraft before deploying. it is focused on space tourism, $450,000 a pop, for a few minute of weightlessness to come back down. it has limits.

and i think even things like spacex we were getting more calls about spacex and what that could mean >> i want to ask you one question about that. since there is investor interest in space at large. what could it mean for tesla if it went public and iffie elon musk devotes timo spacex, does that hurt tesla much. >> in order to be a huge company it requires access to capital. that's all i will say there. dude, you are putting 100 tons in orbit and will beat nasa to the moon, do you think he will solve insurance issues on cars i think spending time on spacex, i think it's a wonderful thing if tesla can say we will take it from here, i will be involved, but i am going to be spending time in texas building the space economy and taking spacex to a whole new level. that's what is capturing the attention of your audience and my audience on the investor side much. >> when you put it in those simple terms -- thanks for being with us. >>> tesla is objectifying the options market listen to this -- let's bring in mike who spotted this how rare is it >> how rare to be number one for a month. tesl

that's exactly what he did with spacex gwen does an amazing job running spacex and i reported on spacexla and what i was told there are rules about elon musk about not being able to hire and fire people inside spacex because everybody realizes guan is the operator. if he did the same thing with tesla, it would be amazing i'm not saying he hasn't done amazing things, i'm saying when you're trying to figure out what the future looks like, it's wonderful to believe particularly in an environment where we haven't had a recession in so long that it seems like we're living in a fantasy land right now. but at some point just like rockets, everything comes down to earth >> yeah. >> i'm not certain that elon musk is the guy who's ten years from now we'll look back and say, actually -- >> self landing and reusable rockets. >> trats true. that's true. they had a lot of explosions along the way. my guess is that tesla will have some gravel in the road that no one's expecting right now. >> well, we appreciate you coming on to talk to us this morning, charles for what it's worth, tesla shares are dow

on all of this as someone who has made trips to space with nasa and now, i believe, an advisor to spacexlue origin this moment in time, this new era of commercial human space flight we've seen ushered in this year. how does that speak to the role the private sector is talking about that has been talked about for several decades now? >> this is super exciting. it's exactly what we hoped to see and it's all happening this year in 2021 with blue origin and virgin galactic and spacex launching private citizens to space. but today is all about captain kirk as a big "star trek" fan it's been exciting to watch this and let us all go boldly go and make really lame jokes. >> beam me up. >> but he's approached this sense of humor and a great sense of joy and for that reason, it's been really fun to watch >> mike, i want your thoughts on that too this increasing role that the private sector is playing in space flight now such a difference from what we've seen in space travel in decades past 2367 >> i find it really exciting space is always in the news, the race against the russians to get to the mo

companies like spacex are making great strides in their new vehicle. spacex is creating a new ship called the starship, by coincidence. or probably not by coincidence. and a falcon super heavy booster, fully reusable system. that vehicle will almost certainly at least orbit the moon or get to the moon before either the u.s. gets back or china gets there with their first astronauts. and it may even land. so i think it's pretty exciting to see, the commercial side is the most exciting right now. >> scott, is there a transfer of real technology on every single one of these different space experiences. was there a big transfer between gemini and apollo and the apollo and the shuttles and now between the public technology created by nasa and the private technology with blue origin or others? >> well, they definitely got progressively more complex, right? and now i wouldn't make the argument that this blue origin spacecraft, that the capsule is more complicated, clearly not than the dragon or russian soyuz, but it is much more automated, which shows progress
