No one has argued against this.Elon Musk is revolutionising space travel and doing things many people believed were impossible.
Why are you pretending that he hasn't done idiotic things? He behaves idiotic online. His behaviour around the Thai rescue was idiotic (to put the kindest spin on it). He is a genius in some areas and an absolute idiot in others.Yet he’s attacked relentlessly by legacy media outlets because he purchased a social media company to restore free speech and refused to censor on their behalf.
Those tweets are pretty fucking dangerous coming from someone with so much influence don't you think?
I mean, if Mike from down the road told you those things I'm fairly sure you'd back away slowly and roll your eyes as soon as your back was turned , no?
But Elon is so intelligent he must be right?
The first rocket launched into space was the V2 in 1942.Do you honestly think anyone will be talking about Tweets when he lands a man on Mars?
He's the one endorsing the lad who claims:The Cock-tow twins trapped in a Musk shaped Godwins loop.
Scenes
The U.S. Govt funds most of this stuff anyway and he would be nothing without them.
With Starship, they are taking a massive leap forward but it's not like others are sitting on their hands, New Glenn (due to launch next month) is price competitive with Falcon Heavy.
But yeah, going from ~$10k a kg to $200 a kg in about 16 years is an enormous improvement.
If they can get both Starship stages reusable for 10+ missions, then that will make an enormous difference in getting to mars.
Might be worth spending a bit more money on ensuring earth is habitable first though.
