MARS: MISSING MUSK’S POINT
Like many, you miss Musk’s point, which is that the incremental solution to these problems by actually testing our ideas and discovering alternatives is the only way that we get to interstellar flight and the capacity for mankind to live independently of this planet and our solar system – both of which seem to attempt to exterminate us with disturbing regularity.
In other words he’s not seeking mars for mars’ sake but mars as a step in the research and development program that brings us to the stars and evolutionary autonomy.
And it’s not like anyone on earth makes better use of capital than he does in advancing technology, precisely because he uses this approach to innovation in advancement they way the Japanese do in refinement.
We cant even get our government to worry about the next decade.
