Tim Dodd on dearMoon mission: I'm going to the moon

Dear moon is already a failure. This guy is not going around the moon on Starship. If he does, he’s not coming back alive.

Ok so when is this actually happening. The dear moon website says 2023 which is obviously not true

Please God let this be Apollo 2.0

Frdman, people claim you are a genius, very high IQ, incredibly thoughtful and a deep thinker, talented beyond belief and admired by the smartest community ( science ) 😂all over the world.
But Les, could it also be a paradox that sometimes the supposed smartest, all mighty and powerful could also be the clueless and dumbest individuals at the same time?, Is that s contradiction?
The explanation is really simple, those that consider themselves above most people usually live with their heads inside their ass they never get in touch with reality.
Maybe you should try to listen to the little guys for a change and see what they have to say, do you know how they survive?, Not with talent not with smarts, only with common sense.
It's really depressing to see a person of your category waste 2 hours with this infantile looser whose claim to fame is collecting toys about fantasy worlds so he can display them to on his shelves.
You really need to be more introspective.
But then, maybe in a peculiar way you and him are very similar therefore the attraction.

have you even just thought of how awesome it is to be one to actually ride in the front seat of that rocket? holy crap fun

Forgive the Apollo astronauts for not viewing the moon as a vacation, since Apollo 1 killed 3 of their friends and set the tone for the program.

Would be the easiest Yes of my life

looking forward to tims flight

There should have been an actual Painting/Visual Artist involved when they thought "Artist", imagine the works created after this?

This is amazing! I wish I could go! Need a first responder advanced EMT to come? heheh :)

the question is who is steve gonna smash while up there

Lex has an better feeling for humor, then he might think. Im intressted to see how he get more and more open with it over time :)

"Wasting money" --> ppl starving to death, every day, but we give money for other things. May b this is just nature, but may b not.

<3

Fuck seeing the moon imagine the view on the way back to Earth!

Imagine if the put hyper sonic missiles on the moon to keep the people in check.

I don't know if a guy that thinks because Apollo astronauts were military that they didn't appreciate going around or walking on the moon is a good person to be speaking to the masses. He clearly has some issues with the military... What else does he have ridiculous biases about?

Very lucky people you have had that kind of gift. I really hope they do somehow film the launch inside the capsule it will be spectacular godspeed. 🇺🇸👍🇬🇧👍

I hope somebody will get the idea to create some real footage edit of the whole journey to Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon. 🙏😩

I remember when he was running around in an old russian cosmonaut suit. Now our boys going around the moon.. they grow up so fast. Much love Tim! And thanks as always to Lex for an enjoyable educational conversation

i wish they would bring whoever is the most popular and (really believes) in the flat earth theory.. think that would be interesting

A kid from Iowa who loved space. Bought a Russian high altitude suit to take some cool pics.
Now he's going to the f'n Moon.
Gotta love it.

i just want him to say on the trip live:

“to all the flat-earthers: go f*%! youserlves!” 😂

I would give a testicle to go!!

He is running out of money for this ,will not go as planned I heard…stunt

Objective: send fruitcakes to the moon

Already been to the moon, it's alright.

Regarding the dream Tim has about falling off his bike and dying, my mom used to have dreams about dying in the car she had at the time so she sold the car and the dreams went with it.

Doubt you will actually make it to the moon. Like foreal haven't been there since 1971 how you getting through the kyper belt

Any guest: talking about the thing.
Lex: but have you thought about death?

typical slav

Lex for Dear Moon 2!!!!

The thing that SCARES ME TO...DEATH about space missions is THIS.... watch the mission control room GO ...ABSOLUTELY...BONKERS when a space craft reaches its destination...unharmed!! JUMPING UP N DOWN!! FULL BODY HUGS!! TEARS OF UNRESTRAINED...JOY!!! Come ON!!OK... if I WERE thinking of going to space...I would want a LAID BACK control room who had an attitude of confidence, I want the folks I've entrusted my LIFE to....to be like...." DUH! OF COURSE nothing went wrong!! We spent COUNTLESS hours to GET THIS RIGHT!! I wouldn't want a HEART SURGEON to be THAT ANIMATED after successful surgeries either!!! 😉🤣🤣🤣....I hope someone gets my point!!

I wish they would have taken 1 just normal person who just loves space

Someone should take a VR camera up there.

Kick-Ass!

Every single candicate other than Tim, look like diversity hires.

if shit hits the fan, tim is the one who saves the day! 🤣

Space will feel like exactly what it is: A Dead, Soulless abyss. Uttery frightening and so lonely it's inhuman. My advice: Take playing cards and whiskey! 🤣

That billionaire watched “Contact” for sure… “they should of sent a poet or painter” 😂

How you going to land it there?

Easy to get jealous, good for him!

Yeah but he’s not going to bring along an auto mechanic. At least they have a snowboarder.

did elon helped Tim?

All artists in different forms? Well I guess if something goes catstrophically wrong you can all hold hands and sing kumbaya together, or paint. I couldnt think of a worse crew compliment in a crisis situation.

Odd way to end that

Lex I’m fairly POSITIVE he’s aware of the dangers but Christ, it sounds like you’re trying to scare this guy even more than he already is.

It was recorded at 1:30 AM and talking about deep stuff! Lex, you're incredible! 🚀🚀
