And he knows the only way you can do that is with fully reusable launch vehicles.
And he's not doing it to send four people to Mars.
He's doing it to send thousands of people, tens of thousands, literally making it the first human outpost in space.
And he can will things into existence.
I mean, and he's got the greatest talent this country has produced in the
I mean, it's going to happen.
And when it does, for sure, my kids, your kids, I mean, seeing astronauts on the moon and Mars will just be the beginning.
Well โ
I think there's a couple different ways to approach this, and one of which is just to simply say, I have no idea.
And the reason being is the analogy I love to use is in the 1980s, cell phones were so damn big, you had to build it into your car.
and they were just car phones, and they were incredibly expensive, and who had them?
Like Wall Street traders, like rich guys had them, right?
Who could have ever imagined in the 1980s when they were setting up the first cell towers and installing cell phones in cars,
you know, that a couple decades in the future, every 13-year-old would have it, and some of the most valuable companies in the world were not the ones that were building the towers or building the phones, but the ones that created a piece of software on your phone so you could order food at 2 in the morning.
or connect with your friends from high school or college.
No one could have imagined that.
No one could have imagined social networks or something in the 1980s when they created cell phones or cars.
Well, you're going to have a similar kind of light switch moment when Starship comes online and when Blue Origin, what Jeff Bezos is working on with New Glenn, and the cost to put mass in orbit is so low that we can start experimenting.
You have no idea what's going to come of it, like what that orbital economy will be.
I mean, maybe we're going to find cancer-treating drugs or tumor-killing drugs that are up there.
