Put another rich guy in charge of spacex first please! I don't want to be stuck on this rock forever 🥲

luckily, he has minimal influence over SpaceX, and only really provide high level direction. Same with Tesla.

Twitter, though... the turnaround time on his whims is staggering

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Considering the fuckupery at Tesla (especially as of late), this may not entirely be true. It seems that he has slightly more influence at Tesla than he does at SpaceX, which has been doing a pretty great job.

Glenn Shotwell runs SpaceX and is a competent adult. Nothing to worry about on that front, thankfully.

Ah ok i thought it was musk boy. Tbh I don't look too much into who the ceo of a company is. Mostly just what they do which i why i love spacex. I take it all my downvotes are the musk haters lol. I'm neutral on that whole thing with him. Can't say anything about the whole twitter situation as i have never used it.

I have some sad news...

you're stuck on this rock forever
anyone alive today who sets foot on mars will likely regret it before they die
robots will conduct all worth while exploration and discovery this millennium

This guy must be from the future. Oh wise one tell us all your secrets.

Ever heard of having some hope my guy? Hate to break it to you but I hope humanity leaves this rock and isn't stuck here forever. If humanity stays on this planet forever we will 100% go extinct either by war, virus, or the most obvious asteroid impacts or the guaranteed one the sun expanding over a few billion years. If we want to live till the end of time and space itself we HAVE to leave.

The tech we will rely on for interplanetary travel is pretty much settled science, it just takes time and money to implement.

Hoping for unexpected breakthroughs isn't going to help much.
