00:00AFFECT THE NATION MARKET, RENTAL CARS, ALL SORTS OF INTERESTING THINGS. CORY: ONE MORE QUESTION -- ELON MUSK SAID HE IS LOOKING INTO STARTING A THIRD COMPANY. HE'S ALREADY GOT TWO COMPANIES. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A FULL-TIME CEO AROUND-THE-CLOCK, NOT JUST PART-TIME? ADAM: IN AN IDEAL WORLD, WE COULD CLONE ELON MUSK. CORY: WE CAN'T. ADAM: YOU TELL ME. SERIOUSLY, IN AN IDEAL WORLD, SURE. HAVING A VERY TALENTED MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP -- WE NEVER HAVE GOOD ENOUGH OF LEADERS IN ANY ORGANIZATION, RIGHT? I DO BELIEVE IT IS TRUE. HE MIGHT BE SPENDING MORE TIME AT SPACEX THAN TESLA. UP TO THIS POINT, IT IS NOT THAT EVERY OTHER AUTO COMPANY WE TALKED TO HAD AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT RESPECT FOR. THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. THE NEXT NINE MONTHS WILL CALL FOR THAT. CORY: ADAM JONAS, THANK YOU. SPACEX ONE OF ELON MUSK'S COMPANIES. THEY WILL TRY TO RELAUNCH THIS FALCON 9 ROCKET. SPACEX WANTED TO LANDED ON A FLOATING BARGE IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND RECYCLE IT. MAYBE IT IS WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY NOW. TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS ROCKET. THIS IS REALLY PROOF IN THE PUDDING, RIGHT? DANA: THEY LANDED ON A DRONE SHIP LAST YEAR, CHECKING OUT ALL THE ENGINES. THE LATEST I HAVE HEARD IS IT IS THE LAUNCH IS SLATED FOR LATE THURSDAY FROM CAPE CANAVERAL. CORY: IS IT WEATHER? DANA: THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF THE WEATHER. YOU HAVE TO GET CLEARANCE FROM THE AIRFORCE TO FLY AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE IN LUXURY BOATS ARE LOOKING. IT IS SLATED FOR LATE THURSDAY. WE WILL SEE HOW THE WEATHER HOLDS. CORY: THE NOTION IS THIS WILL ALTERNATELY BE CHEAPER, BUT HOW EXPENSIVE ARE THESE LAUNCHES? IS IT REASONABLE THESE ROCKETS CAN SAVE MONEY? DANA: SES, THE COMMUNICATION SATELLITE SATELLITE, HAS SAID WHAT THE PRICE IS. THE CTO SAYS THEY GOT A CHEAPER LAUNCH FOR BEING FIRST IN LINE, LONG-TIME CUSTOMERS WILLING TO GO FIRST. WE KNOW FROM SPACEX'S WEBSITE THAT A TYPICAL LAUNCH IS ROUGHLY $62 MILLION. THERE IS A DISCOUNT IF YOU BUY IN BULK. IT SHOULD BE CHEAPER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PRICE IS. NOBODY HAS DISCLOSED THAT. LET ME KNOW. THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE COST FOR SPACEX CUSTOMERS AND SPACEX ITSELF. THEY WANT TO SEND PEOPLE TO MARS. IN ORDER TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FLY A ROCKET, TURN IT AROUND AND FLY IT AGAIN. THAT IS THE STEP TO THAT ULTIMATE GOAL. CORY: THE FALCON 9 IS ROCKET SCIENCE, BUT IT IS NOT THE MOST CUTTING EDGE ROCKET ROCKET IN THE WORLD'S FLEET? DANA: NOBODY HAS REFLOW A ROCKET BEFORE. WHAT HAPPENED WITH SUTTLES IS DIFFERENT. IF THEY CAN FLY THIS TO SPACE AND LAND IT AGAIN, THAT WILL BE A BIG MILESTONE. EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT RE-SABILITY. NO ONE IS ACTUALLY DOING IT. ALL LAST YEAR WAS ABOUT CAN WE RECOVER THE ROCKET? CAN THEY LAND IT ON LAND? MAY HAVE DONE IT EIGHT TIMES, THREE BY LAND AND FIVE BY SEA. THEY HAVE TO PROVE IT IS REFLYABLE. YOU AND I CAN IMPLY FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO NEW YORK, THE PLANE LANDS, THEY REFUEL IT. THAT IS ULTIMATELY THE GOAL FOR ROCKETS. THERE ARE THERMODYNAMIC EVENTS GOING ON. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW DOES THE ENGINE DOES AND HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU REFLY IT?
