At a cost of indiscriminately imprisoning and killing people (remember Korolyov and von Braun)? Surely. he-he.
If Musk does achieve a second foothold for the humanity, then any and all objections to his methods become irrelevant. So far he does deliver. So we wait for the final result.
Also, if you don't know, we've got a war in europe for like 3.5 years already.
I'm seriously curious how many times a space-x total program cost since their start in 2000s has been already sunk into that.
