I like it. It's like how do you become a millionaire in Formula 1?

I think those not seeing the bigger picture may be missing that Tesla Energy would be a front runner for producing that rocket fuel, from renewable energy of course.jlv said:These are not mutually exclusive. To suggest so is silly.WetEV said:Mars or fossil fuel reduction? Pick one.
Besides, once we get to Mars, there is no fossil fuel.
Renewable energy will be replacing fossil energy over decades. Any diverted to make rocket fuel here, or worse on Mars, will slow this process. First launch to Mars Musk has announced will be in 2022. That takes a huge blunt to believe.iPlug said:I think those not seeing the bigger picture may be missing that Tesla Energy would be a front runner for producing that rocket fuel, from renewable energy of course.

OK and I find it odd that anyone would really take these statements as facts rather than just a figure of speech.EatsShootsandLeafs said:I find it really unbelievable some of you think he is not just an abject liar.

And are roundly mocked when stated, so it's not like anybody (including musk) believes them when he says them.

NASA has not lost it's funding. It's just being directed by congress to support boondoggle projects such as SLS.webb14leafs said:DougWantsALeaf said:I give him huge props for trying in a “in my lifetime” timespan to get to Mars. NASA lost its way.
