Elon would want $4.20 cos he’s a fucking dolt

But he says big words about rockets on Twitter. That means he's an engineer, right?

What I meant was it had to be him that became the figurehead. I want someone with the drive and passion for space exploration, not someone with the passion for profit. A humble engineer or scientist who exists only to expand their knowledge and with plenty of fascination about the universe, not this dollar store Tony Stark wannabe narcissistic blowhard.

I guess I'm shouting at clouds though, because that's how the system is set up. People don't start companies because they want to do something awesome. They start them to make money.

As much as I hate Musk, I doubt something that ambitious would be tried without him or someone like him. Same with starting a fully EV car company when everyone thought we were just but ready for it. Yes the engineers are the ones who do the work, but it takes someone willing to risk a lot of money, and the ability to bring in more money, to make that stuff happen.

Folks at the Boring Co are just keeping their heads down hoping he forgets they exist

NASA just contracts everything out. I think NASA would be much different if they had something like SpaceX (and was funded properly).

NASA gets so much funding for the SLS, which is so expensive, that NASA itself is saying it's throwing money away. It's US Congress routing tax payer funding to disastrously inefficient contractors, not to have an actually functional space program.
