I noticed in today’s headlines that Elon Musk and SpaceX are planning to land a payload on Mars in 2 years. What.
Half of his news stories feature him promising to reach an unattainable goal in an absurdly short amount of time, and then the other half seem to show him reaching those goals. Land a reusable rocket on a floating platform. Launch an electric sportscar, an electric luxury car, and a luxury economy car. Hyperloop. Satellite internet. Batteries to power your home. The list will continue.
I deeply admire how he pushes the envelope, extending us to the technological achievements many of us have never even imagined.
The question I’m asking now is:
Who will be the person who extends us to the humanitarian achievements many of us have never imagined?
