A Video Tour of SpaceX Facility by Musk himself
It's good to be a billionaire~ This is a very nice tour of almost every key aspect of constructing his new rockets. A most impressive operation where almost every component is built in-house. He appears to be gearing up for a very ambitious expansion in both capability and volume. When he claims he can put a man on Mars in ten years, it's almost believable after watching this video. I wouldn't bet against this guy~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ6tZtGrShg s |

I've never been fond of sheer chance/gambling, but the sort of betting that lets you support an endeavor that you approve of is a whole different matter. That's the kind of betting where you have some chance to affect the outcome. :-) -- Catherine Jefferson Blog/Personal: http://www.ergosphere.net |

Watching the video, and his often awkward gestures, I couldn't help thinking he's the space-age version of Howard Hughes. Jonathan s -- Catherine Jefferson Blog/Personal: http://www.ergosphere.net |

As I've said before, this man is starting to get my attention, and starting to earn my admiration. Generations from now, I wouldn't be shocked to find his name in a history text right next to my other technological hero/industrialist, Thomas Edison. It took Musk 10 years to get a remote controlled capsule to the International Space Station. How long would it take you to do the same job? For comparison, from conception to docking how long did the European Automated Transfer Vehicle take? (Remember, they just needed to create the vehicle, they already had the rocket to launch it.) This company designs, builds and tests it's own hardware starting with bare metal. Other companies had a huge head start because they use established rocket hardware and infrastructure yet still haven't managed to beat SpaceX. Vaughn |
