Respectfully, and sorry to HN readers for prolonging this thread, but curiosity compels me to ask , were u being ironic? or why would such drivel make you want vote to for the one person I cannot bring myself to name.

Exactly.

Then Trump would get the glory...regardless the glory of solving climate change and landing on Mars will go to the person who has the best ability to promote their role in such feat.

Musk looks tough on twitter, but he can't speak and his social incompetence shows a lot.

The POTUS (whoever he/she is) and the first person on Mars (whoever he/she is) would outframe him just like JFK and Neil Armstron outframed whoever was the guy running NASA at the time.

He'd be left with a very low margin business , more probably heavily in the red, like the Apollo program was.
