Yes, the collective efforts of engineers should be praised. Elon himself would agree, since he once said in an interview: "“No, I’ve never aspired to be an astronaut–I have aspired to invent things,” “In fact, I think an error was made in

First off, I agree with you that the volunteers deserve credit. But this is not a contest of who can get the most praise. Volunteers and researchers need funding in order to operate effectively, and Elon's billions could be extremely helpfu

In addition, Elon said that he had already committed in his will to give away most of his fortune to charity. http://i.imgur.com/Mnk7U.jpg Elon also experienced near-death back in 2000 during a visit to South Africa. He almost died from c

Thank you. It's such a refreshing sight as just 3 months ago, Elon was visibly quite disappointed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJnW7vtqaf4&feature=relat... 2 months later, the Dragon successfully docked with the space

Assuming that you have seen a decent amount of interviews, how does Elon Musk's lecture compare to them? I thought that Elon's advice was simple but powerful, when you consider the list of his accomplishments. He gives the same sort of adv
