That about sums it up, plus you can try to get sponsors, like a monster truck event. Do a spectacle, get people to pay to put their logo on it. Many will say it is all silly, and it is, but leveraging the madness of humans to do good (and bad) things is what moves history.
- thereddaikon 5y agoI don't know why people are all that surprised really. This is what commercial space is going to look like. SpaceX isn't NASA. They aren't gifted a budget by congress to carry out their mission. They have to pay for it justify the cost with a profit somewhere a long the line. Getting sponsorships, partnerships and paying customers is all a part of that. The age of rockets just having a flag painted on them are over. For every mission that isn't bought by the government, expect the space suits to look more like racing suits.
