#3Musk's public speaking skills (the stutters) give me hope as a non native English speaker.

I think his speaking style, although not something most business people would want to emulate, has a tone of earnestness, humility and honesty. I would be wary of a brilliant orator..

#5Deeply regretting not going to IAC since it's in Australia this year. A colleague went under his own money and he's had a great time, as well as several of my uni mates who are there due to working in the industry.
I'm enjoying this, it's basically laying out goals that he's essentially saying 'hold us to this'.

#6This is thinking big..

#7Highlights for me:
Started ordering stuff for the mars ship now, started facilities construction, possibly hitting a first launch in 2022 and a second launch window in 2024.
An extremely aggressive and impressive timeline.

He did note the 2022 launch plan as "aspirational" but I agree that this is a significant public proclamation. Exciting.

#9Wow, can they really make BFR reliable enough to replace long distance airline routes? And how would propellant cost compare with jet fuel? Anywhere on Earth in an hour does sound extremely appealing; better than Concorde, with bonus zero gravity (going to need a lot of barf bags though).

Even if they miss 2022 the next window at 2024 is still incredible. Who would have seriously believed we'd fly something of that size to Mars by that time and have a manned mission two years later?!
