>>14282467>>14282477unpopular take, but Elon Musk is just a stepping stool for the real brains, his employees
Without Elon, there would likely have not been a collection of individuals to come together to form SpaceX and to accomplish what has been accomplished and what will be accomplished at the current rate
Elon Musk is a cheerleader, a mascot, that motivates his employees to create the future
If you would have told me ten years ago we would live in a world with rockets that are partially reusable and can land themselves, I would've told you you are completely full of shit
I would have told you you are a schizo that needs to be in a mental institution if you told me a rocket called "Starhip and Super heavy" was being made that actually flies and looks like something out of a 50s space opera cartoon as well
I can't really imagine what advances in rocketry and space will be made in the next ten or twenty years, but if it is as surprising as the past decade, I'd say I would probably be excited and looking forward to it
