Nothing on Moon Base Alpha except a picture. Would be nice to have a timeline for this (maybe the gap years where Mars transit is too long?)

- neuronexmachina 9y agoI get the impression Elon's stance is, "If somebody else wants to build a Moon Base, you're welcome to buy launches from us. Here's how you'd do it." Elon himself pretty much just cares about Mars.
- Diederich 9y agoI agree. Part of me thinks that the whole moon base thing was a pitch to legislators/NASA.
- tsaprailis 9y agoI think this is a nod to ESA who has stated they want to build a base on the moon: http://www.esa.int/About_Us/Ministerial_Council_2016/Moon_Village http://www.esa.int/About_Us/Ministerial_Council_2016/Moon_Vi... Elon's message: "Here's the rocket, it costs this much, go build it". Basically trying to find more ways to monetize BFR.
