I agree with him re Branson's and Bezos's joyriding ventures. But Musk really has revolutionised an industry and has a functioning successful company. Only a few years ago reusability wasn't a thing in launch systems. And who does it better? NASA with their Senate Launch System?
- avmich 5y agoI agree with author on that this flight, this industry is not - primarily - about science. It is definitely useful for science, though in a roundabout way. But primarily it's for society. Apollo project was chiefly political - yet it keeps inspiring people, young minds and others, to look up differently. Which converts to very real dollars and science.
