Musk: "We're going straight to Mars. The Moon is a distraction."

36. I'm old enough to remember when

The "official" go-to authorities on the space program were actual scientists with 'Ph.D' after their name instead of billionaires dropping loud and ultimately meaningless hot takes on social media...

Melon Husk has been talking out his ass for 6+ years that he's only 2 years away from unmanned flights to Mars and 4 years away from manned trips when multiple industry experts say he's still a decade at least from reliable unmanned flights... He's just so fucking desperate to establish his own little pure libertarian paradise on Mars and be worshipped like a god like he's some James Bond villain. My consolation is knowing it almost certainly won't happen in his lifetime unless he lives another 30+ years.
