Some of the smartest people are going to launch some of the dumbest people into space because who in their right mind would get on a shuttle with Musk.
You don't even need to know much about space travel to realize his claims are wildly divorced from reality. With people like him, I always wonder what the mix of self-delusion and knowing bullshittery is. I suspect even when he lies he has trouble telling the difference.
Musk said he’d get to Mars by 2024. This is mentioned in some book 7 y/o nephew was reading. He called it out immediately, which was a great opportunity to tell him Musk is a fraud.
I, for one, fully encourage Musk to personally sign on to a bootstrapped ad hoc launch. To him I say "go for it! Godspeed!" So he misses the planet by a million miles, that's just progress, baby!
