Shouldn't a statement from the founder of spacex be enough? The guy who founded spacex said he founded spacex to get to mars. What more evidence do you need as to why spacex was founded? What other answer can he give other than what the founder said?
- mikeash 8y agoThe story about how he went to Moscow to try to buy an ICBM to land a greenhouse on Mars, couldn’t work out a deal, and basically said “I’ll build my own rockets, with blackjack, and hookers” is corroborates by the people who went with him, too. This is a really bizarre conversation all around.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoI just want to say, as an outside observer, that your comments throughout this thread have been awful. You consistently miss other peoples’ point, pick fights, shift the goalposts, and rely on logical fallacies. The people responding to you, while flawed, generally have done so with good faith reasoning and citations. You seem really out of touch with both the space industry and the social dynamics of this conversation.
- mikeash 8y agoCan you elaborate? I honestly don’t see where I’ve done any of that.
