Elon Musk?

A stork didn't bring it. He started and sold a couple companies that made enough money for me to be happy for 10 lifetimes. Timing, drive and luck.
Sure, timing drive and luck, and getting in on other peoples ideas then selling the company at the right time.

But his daft ideas? They arent the ones making money.
 
Personally I admire the guy.
We need more people who wish to advance the human race not those who exploit us for their own profit.

I admire some things about him and I love that he's pushing forward with space exploration.

Trouble is, it will be more like commercial space exploitation, and the guy displays such an irresponsible streak that I'm not really comfortable with him running the show. I'm afraid that he will be too cavalier about the risks and move too fast and get people killed unnecessarily.
 
Elon Musk. For when regular Musk just won't do it for her.
Try it. She won't be able to resist.

Available now at better stores on both Earth and Mars,
as well as the market sections of finer stations in the Sol system.
 
Elon Musk flies the KI Asp.

Well, as far as there are Universities do machine learning by simulating automated cars by playing GTA or Frontier uses AI to kill real players (ingame of course), while all the Tesla´s do collect needed information to let the machines learn efficiently I would bet that Elon Musk does play Elite Dangerous.
 
Space is great and all, but in my opinion, Earth and human ecological sustainability should definitely be the prevailing priority. The world's people often seem too focused on alleged "progress," while busily painting themselves into shortsighted corners and selling out their infrastructures.

People like to pretend they aren't a part of the natural world when in reality we need it a whole lot more than it needs us.

This is how I feel when people talk about needing to find other worlds to colonize because we are ruining Earth.

Earth, even if we ruin it a whole lot more, is a whole lot easier to fix than trying to get to another habitable world if we can even find one. And terraforming? Well if that works that solves our problems here on Earth doesn't it?

I've never understood the idea of needing to colonize another planet in our solar system because we will ruin the one we are on. It's absolute lunacy to think the monumental steps needed to create a hospitable environment on Mars is somehow a superior option to maintaining a hospitable Earth.
