MUSK LOOKS CONFIDENTLY PAST MARS WITH INTERPLANETARY TRANSPORT SYSTEM
« on: September 20, 2016, 11:40:15 pm »

For Elon Musk, it’s always been about Mars. Musk, and his company SpaceX, haven’t always been explicit about how exactly they’ll get to Mars. But SpaceX’s fourteen years of effort in rocketry have been aimed at getting people into space cheaper, and getting people to Mars.


Musk has revealed hints along the way. One of the boldest was his statement at Code Conference 2016. At that conference he said, “I think, if things go according to plan, we should be able to launch people probably in 2024, with arrival in 2025.”


He went on to explain it this way: “The basic game plan is we’re going to send a mission to Mars with every Mars opportunity from 2018 onwards. They occur approximately every 26 months. We’re establishing cargo flights to Mars that people can count on for cargo.”


Those comments certainly removed any lingering doubt that Mars is the goal.

Lots of things I don't love about Musk but he isn't shortsighted.

He's an envelope pusher and I like that.

I agree.. America needs more people like him.

If guys like JP Morgan and Andrew Carnegie had the technology of today combined with the freedoms of their day we would already be an interplanetary species if not interstellar.

Hell, if Howard Hughes didn't go crazy, he could have done same thing. I think...

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

All you would have to do is say, "Mr. Hughes, there are no germs in space."

We would have been there.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Musk is a fraud and a huckster. All of his half baked schemes are just to funnel taxpayers cash into his pocket. Look no further than the failed Tesla and it's non-GAAP prospectuses showing profits, but when you run the numbers using real accounting practices it loses tons of cash.

Tell you what... have your company build a rocket that can launch reliably without blowing up on the pad, and then I'll listen to what you have to say about sending regular cargo flights to Mars.
