@sundogplanets the good thing is that Elon Musk has never delivered on anything he's ever promised, and this would require rocket launches at such an wildly high pace that I don't think they could come close to pulling this off.

It's just to juice SpaceX IPO and then musk can be a trillionaire. If the next US administration comes to be, this plan is dumpstered for sure.

@Daojoan Yes, and on top of it, Putin has nuclear weapons as the only thing propping him up, besides his crony trump.

@michi the richest companies in the world no less. Really proves the old adage that the privileged view any kind of personal inconvenience as oppression.
