Funny that some Apollo astronauts weren't fans of privatization of Space Exploration (and in turn, presumably, SpaceX).
Here's one of my favorite Elon Musk interviews (2012 CBS 60 minutes) that has a reference to the topic (at 11:40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmyT9y568Bc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmyT9y568Bc
- kaendfinger 10y agoSpaceX fan btw. I think they have since rebounded, and Musk has met them :) Buzz Aldrin was invited to the CRS-8 launch I believe.
- tunap 10y agoAccording to Buzz's book, "Mission To Mars", he has done a complete 180 to support private enterprise(I was not aware of his opposition to private exploration). He even said it is essential, IIRC.

- kuschku 10y agoThey’re more opposed to Boeing and Lockheed privatizing Space Exploration than to SpaceX SpaceX acts as if it was publicly funded, practically.
