more interested in talking people to space...space is about how much it can do for people

Wonder what he's got in mind that will help people. Also wonder what Musk has in mind with a Mars landing if anything other than the challenge and adventure which is pretty tremendous.

Hopefully his test-pilot is more on the ball this time. I don’t have much faith in that vehicle after seeing the airborne crashup derby they did last time. That plane is roly-poly. It sure wasn’t designed with stability in mind.

“I’m not as passionate about Mars as Elon is. My love for space is about how much it can do for people back here on earth, and that’s what Virgin Galactic is pushing towards.”

...

Branson is full of feces. SpaceX now dominates the commercial launch market because of the benefits it provides to people here on Earth with its low cost launch services.

They launched ten communications satellites this morning.
