  1. I thought it was cool just the focus on Mars, although it scares me. I LOVE THE EARTH!
    Maybe dumb down mumbo jumbo... I was lost at parts but I find my way through.

  2. Something i learned from the presentation was that he was the co-founder of paypal. The best part of the presentation was when they talked about the life on mars i thought they kept it simple but gave us the facts we needed. Something they could fix was explaining more of the information on what made him a visionary.

  3. I was very interested to learn that he was born in South Africa, and that he wants to make going to Mars the same price as an average home. The conclusion was nice and clear.
    For criticism, the last video was a bit on the long side.

  4. One positive thing about this presentation was the way you presented his vision. The video added a nice touch about rocket landing on the boat in the middle of the ocean. One critique about this presentation was the second video that you guys presented was long. The video seemed to take away from the presentation even though it explained the idea to colonize mars, would have preferred just a short clip to gain the idea and then maybe you guys could have talked about project in own words.

  5. Good presentation. 10/10 would watch a long video again.

  6. Mars is a very interesting topic and I'm glad they took so much time on it because it really opened my eyes that that is the future. Although, I wish they would've spent more time on Tesla and Paypal and such because those are big right now instead of in the future.

  7. I really liked how you guys worked together. And the elaborate information you guys gave was really good. I also really liked the voice over the video clip you did. That really helped us to understand what was happening in the video.
    Maybe focus more on the vision specficically

  8. I loved how excited you two were about this topic. I felt that it was wholly appropriate for your interests and I loved your enthusiasm about it most.

    I would have liked to see some more technical information about his technology, I feel like it was really abstract in your presentation.

  9. This presentation was very informative, the presenters did a good job of doing thorough research. I really liked the topic of environmentalism and how Mosk's accomplishments solar panels, electric cars, etc. play a role in it. I would have liked to know why he cares so much about the environment?

  10. The presentation was very cool. I loved all the space ideas he has, that is definitely a visionary! The video was very interesting and I'm glad you focused more on his colonization on mars ideas, rather than Tesla because it is much more interesting and stuff I had never heard of. I liked that he is a very eco-friendly guy! I don't really have a criticism, maybe you could have tried to shorten the last video.

  11. The fun fact that I found interesting about this presentation is that Elon had always dreamed of colonizing mars, bringing in this fact helps show that this is a man that pursues his dream. Through out the presentation I felt as though the presenters were very well informed and provided the information in a very effective way.

    The only piece that could have been worked on is choosing how much of the video to show. After a while it seemed to drag on and began to lose the attention of the audience.

  12. I thought you did an excellent job describing who he is because I wasn't really sure who he was until your presentation. I thought you could have added more pictures throughout your presentation thought. I really liked your first video you showed!

  13. This guy is doing all sorts of crazy stuff. I would have liked to know what started his vision and interest in these different topics. You both seemed genuinely interested in what you were presenting ("pretty cool"). I liked during the first video how you spoke during it and gave a nice intro to it. Both did well explaining how he has a clear vision and passion for future life.

    For next time, I would try not to read off your note card/ look at your note card. Also your second video was a little too long, I started to lose interest.

  14. I use Paypal all the time and now I know who started the company. The presentation was planned out evenly. I like how his vision to protect the environment meant so much to him. I like to know what inspired him to take action on this issue? The overall presentation was very interesting.

  15. I loved that you were both knowledgable on the subject. Also, another strength of this presentation was your enthusiasm. The only critique that I have is that one of your videos was a bit long, so that made me lose focus. However, the first video shown about the rocket landing on a boat was very exciting. Well done guys!

  16. I knew very little to nothing about Elon Musk before this presentation but i enjoyed all of the information I learned during the power point. I also appreciated the handout with his major accomplishments including a timeline of when he accomplished them. Something i think that could have been worked on a tad more was maybe cutting down on the number of videos and instead verbally describing them to us and in some way had us interact with the presenters or each other to keep our interests throughout the duration of the presentation.

  17. What I learned from this presentation that he really wants us to be able to go to Mars I only knew about him creating the Tesla I didn't know that much about him wanting to go to Mars. I think what could have helped this presentation a little more was talking more about his company.
