Interview with John Carmack of Armadillo Aerospace at NGLLC

[jamesmmafisher]

Awesome interview! Score another interview with Mr Carmack, It would be awesome to hear what he has to say now.

26:38 UFO !

[BuddhaMaster84]

I don't understand 90 percent, but it sounds extremely interesting

[BuddhaMaster84]

the best thing about carmack is, he keeps talking all on his own. Because nobody else would be interesting anyway, its completely legitim to have him talk on his own for 40 mins while everybody just listens

34:00 Carmack in Wolfenstien3D graphics.

@spacevidcast ..you are the man,thanks for posting this awesome interview of John

[savemyplaylist]

I got raped in space :(

[sanforce]

The sound might be crap, but this is by far my favorite SVC interview that I have seen yet. Get more Carmack!

[oisiaa]

It is such a pleasure to listen to such a smart man speak.

[MasterOtogi]

They fix the mic volume at 3:15

aka the sound is for the most part, fine after that..

[antiRTFM]

gotta say

once you get john going, he doesnt stop talking...

[rampike74]

Burt Rutan isn't that outspoken ;)

[derpenstein]

You should be fucking ashamed at the audio quality here. I can't listen to this for 40 minutes.

[spacevidcast]

Yes, sound was over driven. We didn't have a tech on-site to help with audio or video so I was conducting the interview and trying to run all of the sound at the same time. If we had the funds I would have sent a tech down as well but Spacevidcast comes out of my own pocket at this time.

It is sad though, was a great interview ruined by bad audio.

[derpenstein]

OK well I might record the sound and run the audio through some filters. Then I can play the video and run my corrected soundtrack in sync. If I do that I'll send you the corrected audio.

[spacevidcast]

That would be awesome! Cleaner audio would make this interview 10,000% better.

[Osuoa]

@derpenstein It's frigging John Carmack talking about one of his projects - if it's comprehensible it's fine ;p

[eigentensor]

sound is WAY overdriven :|

[spacevidcast]

I think we fixed it part way through. But yeah, had sound issues.

[metalmodman]

this guy doesnt have to stop to think no pauses I have a hard time with interviews

[diskdok]

he build that rocket too escort demons from mars to earth you know.

[enaut666]

hehehe ... ;-P DOOM 4 EVER !

I'vent played any game like that since those years ... a game where you can lost into his maps and worlds for many hours...

great ! wow im getting melancolic jeje ...

i ve got many maps made by myself i'll start killing some daemons and troopers !

[ermonski]

hey it's the Quake guy!

[rampike74]

@ermonski

Ever heard of Wolfenstein?

[Kratos0909]

this guy reminds me of my advanced trig teacher.

[DanFrederiksen]

you really have to goad John to get him to say anything at all :)

it's great that he's talkative. full of life in many ways.

good stuff that he does too but I think I'll go on the record as saying he is wrong about a long line of steps towards a mini sputnik as opposed to straight to a purpose built vehicle. I also think he will have to forego the modular approach in favor of a conventional rocket layout. nor should a minimal orbital shot cost anywhere near 10-12million.

[spacevidcast]

Yeah, would have gone longer if we were allowed to take more of his time :) I thought it was an amazingly in-depth perspective. I would call it an interview, but really John did all the talking :)

[jamespfp]

Excellent interview. The length, breadth, and depth of it is impressive. Good work SpaceVidCast (too!)

[scasey1960]

Great - way to stay on top of this breaking news. Good job!
