I haven't followed Mr Musk's career at all and I kind of assume he's an insane ego-maniac. Having said that, this guy's my new hero. He sounds like he's more Burt Rutan than Richard Branson and the fact that he's seen through an end-to-end design for launch vehicles is pretty mind blowing. If you look through the photos on his site it kind of has the feel of a boutique bike factory - say Cannondale in the early days - but then you see pictures of them 'spin forming titanium' or something equally exotic. Pretty cool stuff.
