Everyday Astronaut
Description
Rocket science. A term we all use to describe something incredibly difficult. Trying to grasp all of the concepts involved in rocket science can be incredibly intimidating.
My name’s Tim Dodd but I'm better known as the Everyday Astronaut. Recently I fell head over heels in love with spaceflight. My appreciation and curiosity for the subject grew into an obsession. Before you knew it, all I wanted to do was learn more and more... the more I learned, the more I wanted to share what was making me so excited.
But as someone who dropped out of college and has no technical background or degree… I really felt unqualified for the job of explaining rocket science to anyone. But the fact of the matter is, if I can learn this stuff, anyone can.
Rocket science is awesome, and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to be excited.
Everyday Astronaut. Bringing space down to Earth for everyday people.

It's funny how Tim tries to coax Elon along to get further into the building and be able to get nice shots, while Elon wants to stop every meter and just talk about rockets

I know Elon’s always “very” optimistic about timelines but at least he and his team is always moving forward and not hiding behind closed doors. This type of access is unheard of and we have no idea how lucky we are specially to the future engineers out there.

I genuinely believe that Elon enjoys having Tim around. Someone who truly understands the magnitude of what he is doing and achieving and Tim is so good in breaking it down for us.

Listening to Elon say that the challenge is to get something to work regarding how the thermal times are attached, then optimize it reminds me of the saying "First be effective, then be efficient." Trying to optimize too early in a process can impede getting the process to actually work.
