Its too late now

How will r*ddit react to him getting thrown in prison?

>It's ok if I kill people as long as it's in the name of space exploration.
What did he mean by this?

Boom.

>I use matlab instead of excel

Did you fall for the basic income meme? Do you actually think AI and automation will progress so far that we'll be able to let humans do whatever they want?

If humans have nothing to do and have no competition then they become mentally and physically weak. It's a shit societal structure that allows all problems to be solves like that. Humanity must struggle for eternity or it will regress

Why do people even think humans have a future in space travel when we can never break the speed of light?

Most of the habitable planets are hundreds or thousands of light years away.

Even if you consider sending generation sleeper ships where people just hibernate for hundreds or thousands of years till they reach the destination, there are probably several different things that can go wrong with the ship in the interim such as engine failure, hibernation pod failure, micrometeorite damage, rogue black holes etc.

Just memes alone are not going to cut it.

Elon Musk is a serious contender for the most prolific man of the 21st century, and you can't do that without making some enemies.

Make amazing vehicles
>piss off automobile industry

Make solar rooftops, cheap solar panels, and most advanced battery storage to date
>piss off entire energy industry

Make worldwide, low latency, 1TB/s, FREE internet available to everyone
>piss off entire communications industry

He's changing the game forever, and there will be many billionaires who will be affected by this. I hope that Elon isn't sabotaged or worse. I would volunteer to be a member of his security force, or a COINTELPRO agent if needed - ANYTHING as long as Elon and his vision remain safe.

He is bluffing right? he dosn't have the slightest clue what caused the explosion. He just wants to get back to launching

Why is the media pushing the "le private sector space race to Mars" so hard when the Government practically funds and subsidises 90% of the costs for all these meme space companies?

The year is 2075. You're driving down the road going past Tharsis Bulge, enjoying the fresh rover smell of the Olympus model you bought from Tesla Motors, one of the many thriving companies in the booming Martian economy. You turn on the radio to listen to the inauguration speech of the newly appointed president of EarthGov, Mohammed Zheng Wao de Silva. You hear a strange sounding woman trying to sell you the latest model of air purification masks, and you swiftly tune to a Martian channel, thankful that Emperor Musk banned advertising long ago. You can only make out bits and pieces of Mohammed de Silva's garbled Earther patois, so you turn on your Stallman brand real-time personal translator, reassuringly free of sponsored ad-delay translations introduced by the tech companies of Earth. You hear about the need to bring Mars back into line, to ramp up production of purification masks in the gulag factories of Luna. There had been stories from the freedom fighters of the failed Lunar Uprising about the need to wear purification masks in the majority of Earth's cities, but you believed they were exaggerations before hearing them from the president's own lips. You smile as you breathe in the clean air made possible by the scientists and engineers who escaped earth on the Martian colonisation ships launched by SpaceX.

You park your Olympus rover in the driveway of your beautiful Martian estate overlooking Valles Marineris. Your lithe and perpetually youthful wife runs out to greet you, and you're thankful that you managed to snag her on sale when the local Tesla Robotics showroom was celebrating the Golden Jubilee of Musk's coronation as Emperor of Mars. You kiss your wife, turn off her control switch, and head into your study.

You sit down and pour yourself a glass of single malt made in the distilleries dotting Albor Tholus. As you breathe in the peaty vapours and take your first sip, you think to yourself: "Thank God I believed in Elon Musk".
