SpaceX's "going to Mars" plans are just a cover for a vehicle that can allow the USA to utterly dominate Low Earth Orbit. Best part is that Elon thinks it's real.
- tiahura 4y agoIt’s a pretty in the open quid pro quo. Musk gets Mars and US gets LEO.
- pcblues 4y agoI still think the "Going to Mars" plans are a stepping stone to mining the asteroids. The old book "Future Cities" from 1979 that I read as a kid (I'm 49 and I assume Musk and the other current billionaires did too) seems to be fuelling quite a few projects these days :) https://vdocument.in/the-usborne-book-of-the-future-558468df4f1e9.html https://vdocument.in/the-usborne-book-of-the-future-558468df...
- ErikCorry 4y agoI was mostly joking, but you must admit the symmetry of fake sea floor mining and fake asteroid mining is beautiful. What an amazing book.
