2. Get humans to the Moon, if not to Mars
I think there is a misconception here, SpaceX does not send anyone to space, NASA, ESA etc .. does.
SpaceX builds rockets that's it, they don't train astronaut or have a program for space exploration or missions.
- voxic11 4y agoCan you explain how NASA, ESA, ect.. were involved in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspiration4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspiration4 mission?

- Octoth0rpe 4y agoThat's not correct. The Constellation program (which would eventually morph into the SLS via Ares) have been in development with the goal of returning to the moon since before the F9 launched even.
- colinmhayes 4y agoah thank you.
- MPSimmons 4y agoWhich, in itself, is a damning statement.
