He's just trying to out-vision Elon Musk, whose idealistic leaps are looking less and less implausible by the day.

I wouldn't go that far. The only thing he's done really well is sell cars at $100k a pop with a fancy battery and computer at a loss. Visionary sure - but the fruits of his labor are still unborn, especially when burning/raising that much cash!

Um... I'm no Musk fanboy but have you forgotten landing stage one rockets, which is going to drastically lower the cost of space launches?

I'll admit that's badass. But he isn't the only one landing unmanned rockets.

He has also delivered cargo to orbit in predictable and economical fashion.
