- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> he didn't accompany Musk on his trips to Russia when he wanted to buy a rocket (before founding SpaceX)? Shouldn’t this disprove the hypothesis? If you wanted Musk to build you a constellation, why would you want him to buy a rocket from Russia?
- mlindner 1y agoGriffin did not fund SpaceX. He does not have any money. And yes Griffin, among several other people, accompanied Musk to Russia as advisors for his private plan to buy rockets to send a mini-greenhouse to Mars. The failure to make a deal is what precipitated the creation of SpaceX. Elon offered Griffin the position of chief engineer at SpaceX, but Griffin refused.
