is pulling out of the business of

is pulling out of the business of putting people in space why is that so

putting people in space why is that so

putting people in space why is that so important to you well I just think about

important to you well I just think about

important to you well I just think about a future where humanity is a spacefaring

a future where humanity is a spacefaring

a future where humanity is a spacefaring civilization out there exploring stars

civilization out there exploring stars

civilization out there exploring stars is an incredibly exciting future and

is an incredibly exciting future and

is an incredibly exciting future and inspiring and and and so that’s what

inspiring and and and so that’s what

inspiring and and and so that’s what we’re trying to help make happen you

we’re trying to help make happen you

we’re trying to help make happen you know I really want SpaceX to help make

know I really want SpaceX to help make

know I really want SpaceX to help make life multiplanetary you know I’d like to

life multiplanetary you know I’d like to

life multiplanetary you know I’d like to see a self-sustaining base on Mars do

see a self-sustaining base on Mars do

see a self-sustaining base on Mars do you think that’s really practical I

how long is it going to take when are

how long is it going to take when are you gonna put your first man into space

you gonna put your first man into space

you gonna put your first man into space well I think I think we’ll probably put

well I think I think we’ll probably put

well I think I think we’ll probably put our first man in space in about three

our first man in space in about three

our first man in space in about three years

years

years and when are you going to put your first

and when are you going to put your first

and when are you going to put your first man on the planet man or woman well

man on the planet man or woman well

man on the planet man or woman well we’re going all the way to Mars I think

we’re going all the way to Mars I think

we’re going all the way to Mars I think that that’s timeframe best-case 10 years

that that’s timeframe best-case 10 years

that that’s timeframe best-case 10 years worst case 15 to 20 years and you’re

worst case 15 to 20 years and you’re

worst case 15 to 20 years and you’re sort of on your own in this effort now

sort of on your own in this effort now

sort of on your own in this effort now are you gonna build the colony as well

are you gonna build the colony as well

are you gonna build the colony as well when you get there what’s well our goal

when you get there what’s well our goal

when you get there what’s well our goal is we want to be like the we want to be

is we want to be like the we want to be

is we want to be like the we want to be like the shipping company that brought

and then it’s gonna be able to pay the

and then it’s gonna be able to pay the people if they want to go looking at the

people if they want to go looking at the

people if they want to go looking at the at the Apollo experience are you

at the Apollo experience are you

at the Apollo experience are you concerned that say we land humans in

concerned that say we land humans in

concerned that say we land humans in Mars if they in say 10 15 years and then

Mars if they in say 10 15 years and then

Mars if they in say 10 15 years and then under Saturn the excitement is done

under Saturn the excitement is done

under Saturn the excitement is done we’ve done it and just go and dress for

we’ve done it and just go and dress for

we’ve done it and just go and dress for the next 50 years like we did with the

the next 50 years like we did with the

the next 50 years like we did with the pole oh it’s not something concerns here

pole oh it’s not something concerns here

pole oh it’s not something concerns here yeah well that’s why I think we should

yeah well that’s why I think we should

yeah well that’s why I think we should really be setting the goal as the

really be setting the goal as the

really be setting the goal as the creation of a self-sustaining

creation of a self-sustaining

creation of a self-sustaining civilization on Mars not simply a

civilization on Mars not simply a

civilization on Mars not simply a mission to Mars because then we risk you

mission to Mars because then we risk you

mission to Mars because then we risk you know it would be awesome and cool and

know it would be awesome and cool and

know it would be awesome and cool and would be a new high altitude record and

would be a new high altitude record and

would be a new high altitude record and you know great pictures and stuff but I

you know great pictures and stuff but I

you know great pictures and stuff but I mean it would be

mean it would be

mean it would be it just it’s just not the thing that

it just it’s just not the thing that

it just it’s just not the thing that fundamentally changes the future of

fundamentally changes the future of

fundamentally changes the future of humanity and this I mean I should sort

humanity and this I mean I should sort

humanity and this I mean I should sort of explain perhaps the rationale for you

of explain perhaps the rationale for you

of explain perhaps the rationale for you know why I think is important to

know why I think is important to

know why I think is important to establish a self-sustaining colony on

establish a self-sustaining colony on

establish a self-sustaining colony on Mars because I think you some people are

Mars because I think you some people are

Mars because I think you some people are aware of that but probably most people

aware of that but probably most people

aware of that but probably most people aren’t and in your head you hear all

aren’t and in your head you hear all

aren’t and in your head you hear all these rebuttals like under all these

these rebuttals like under all these

these rebuttals like under all these problems on earth that we need to deal

problems on earth that we need to deal

problems on earth that we need to deal with and shouldn’t we focus on that and

with and shouldn’t we focus on that and

with and shouldn’t we focus on that and and the answer is yes I mean our primary

and the answer is yes I mean our primary

and the answer is yes I mean our primary focus should be palms on earth but I

focus should be palms on earth but I

focus should be palms on earth but I think that there should be some small

think that there should be some small

think that there should be some small amount that’s given over to the

amount that’s given over to the

amount that’s given over to the establishment of of a colony on Mars and

establishment of of a colony on Mars and

establishment of of a colony on Mars and making life multiplanetary by small

making life multiplanetary by small

making life multiplanetary by small amount I mean some number less than 1%

amount I mean some number less than 1%

amount I mean some number less than 1% of our resources so you know it’s it’s

of our resources so you know it’s it’s

of our resources so you know it’s it’s not as important as as say health care

not as important as as say health care

not as important as as say health care but it’s more important than like say

but it’s more important than like say

but it’s more important than like say cosmetics I mean I’m Pro come you know

cosmetics I mean I’m Pro come you know

cosmetics I mean I’m Pro come you know I’m in favor of cosmetics I like them

I’m in favor of cosmetics I like them

I’m in favor of cosmetics I like them they’re great but you know lipstick or

they’re great but you know lipstick or

they’re great but you know lipstick or calling you and watch people may have

calling you and watch people may have

calling you and watch people may have different opinions but I so I so I think

different opinions but I so I so I think

different opinions but I so I so I think I think we should we should have that

I think we should we should have that

I think we should we should have that and because the future humanity will

and because the future humanity will

and because the future humanity will fundamentally bifurcate along the lines

fundamentally bifurcate along the lines

fundamentally bifurcate along the lines of either single plant species or

of either single plant species or

of either single plant species or multi-planet species and a multi-planet

multi-planet species and a multi-planet

multi-planet species and a multi-planet version of humanity or humanity’s future

version of humanity or humanity’s future

version of humanity or humanity’s future is going to last a lot longer

is going to last a lot longer

is going to last a lot longer we will propagate civilizations the

we will propagate civilizations the

we will propagate civilizations the future far longer if we are multiplying

future far longer if we are multiplying

future far longer if we are multiplying species than if we are single plant

species than if we are single plant

species than if we are single plant species and and so it’s like planetary

species and and so it’s like planetary

species and and so it’s like planetary redundancy backing up the biosphere it’s

redundancy backing up the biosphere it’s

redundancy backing up the biosphere it’s you know it’s we’ve got all of our eggs

you know it’s we’ve got all of our eggs

you know it’s we’ve got all of our eggs in one basket here we should try to

in one basket here we should try to

in one basket here we should try to protect that basket and do everything we

protect that basket and do everything we

protect that basket and do everything we can but but there are some risks that

can but but there are some risks that

can but but there are some risks that are just extremely difficult to mitigate

are just extremely difficult to mitigate

are just extremely difficult to mitigate and some which we will ultimately not be

and some which we will ultimately not be

and some which we will ultimately not be able to mitigate

able to mitigate

able to mitigate so it just seems like the right thing to

so it just seems like the right thing to

so it just seems like the right thing to do and then the question is next

do and then the question is next

do and then the question is next question is what should we do it now or

question is what should we do it now or

should we just which should we wait for

should we just which should we wait for some point in the future and I think I

some point in the future and I think I

which prevents people from then investing in the future so it’s it’s a

investing in the future so it’s it’s a

investing in the future so it’s it’s a sort of a weird boom and bust so it’s

sort of a weird boom and bust so it’s

sort of a weird boom and bust so it’s sort of like in in the bust times you

sort of like in in the bust times you

sort of like in in the bust times you have to invest in order for the boom

have to invest in order for the boom

have to invest in order for the boom times to work out and not be supply

we’re just trying to think a few moves

we’re just trying to think a few moves ahead here and also to make sure that

ahead here and also to make sure that

ahead here and also to make sure that that that the high-efficiency panels are

that that the high-efficiency panels are

that that the high-efficiency panels are made in high-volume

made in high-volume

made in high-volume but I mean at the risk of getting into a

but I mean at the risk of getting into a

but I mean at the risk of getting into a sort of slightly complicated situation

sort of slightly complicated situation

sort of slightly complicated situation that the the higher efficiency panels

that the the higher efficiency panels

that the the higher efficiency panels allow you to have a footprint of the

allow you to have a footprint of the

allow you to have a footprint of the solar panel so you need fewer panels in

solar panel so you need fewer panels in

solar panel so you need fewer panels in order to generate the same amount of

order to generate the same amount of

order to generate the same amount of electricity and the labor costs and the

electricity and the labor costs and the

electricity and the labor costs and the installation costs and the wiring and

installation costs and the wiring and

installation costs and the wiring and all that are proportionate to the

all that are proportionate to the

all that are proportionate to the surface area so in order to to lower the

surface area so in order to to lower the

surface area so in order to to lower the total system cost it’s very important to

total system cost it’s very important to

total system cost it’s very important to have high efficiency panels

another is that it’s important to teach teach problem solving or teach to the

teach problem solving or teach to the

teach problem solving or teach to the problem not to the tools so this would

problem not to the tools so this would

problem not to the tools so this would be like let’s say you’re trying to teach

be like let’s say you’re trying to teach

be like let’s say you’re trying to teach people about how engines work or you

people about how engines work or you

people about how engines work or you know you could start by a more

know you could start by a more

know you could start by a more traditional approach would be to say

traditional approach would be to say

traditional approach would be to say we’re gonna teach you all about

we’re gonna teach you all about

we’re gonna teach you all about screwdrivers and wrenches and and you

screwdrivers and wrenches and and you

screwdrivers and wrenches and and you even have a course on screwdrivers a

even have a course on screwdrivers a

even have a course on screwdrivers a course on ranches and all these things

course on ranches and all these things

course on ranches and all these things and it’s this is a very difficult way to

and it’s this is a very difficult way to

and it’s this is a very difficult way to do it a much better way would be like

do it a much better way would be like

do it a much better way would be like here’s the engine now let’s take it

here’s the engine now let’s take it

here’s the engine now let’s take it apart how we’re gonna take it apart you

apart how we’re gonna take it apart you

apart how we’re gonna take it apart you need a screwdriver that’s what the

need a screwdriver that’s what the

need a screwdriver that’s what the screwdrivers for you need a wrench

screwdrivers for you need a wrench

screwdrivers for you need a wrench that’s what the wrench is for and then a

that’s what the wrench is for and then a

that’s what the wrench is for and then a very important thing happens which is

there’s going to be huge breakthroughs

there’s going to be huge breakthroughs in genetics and in decoding DNA and and

in genetics and in decoding DNA and and

in genetics and in decoding DNA and and then also writing DNA

then also writing DNA

then also writing DNA so once you’ve read DNA you and you

so once you’ve read DNA you and you

so once you’ve read DNA you and you figure out where’s the the error you

figure out where’s the the error you

figure out where’s the the error you want it you want to sort of write the

want it you want to sort of write the

want it you want to sort of write the corrective code

corrective code

I mean DNA is basically firmware so you

I mean DNA is basically firmware so you know if you incur if there’s a disease

know if you incur if there’s a disease

know if you incur if there’s a disease that somebody has and it’s genetic and

that somebody has and it’s genetic and

that somebody has and it’s genetic and you could sort of fix that and you I

you could sort of fix that and you I

you could sort of fix that and you I think we may be able to fix sort of

think we may be able to fix sort of

think we may be able to fix sort of Alzheimers and I so expect there’s going

Alzheimers and I so expect there’s going

Alzheimers and I so expect there’s going to be a lot of write throughs in it in

to be a lot of write throughs in it in

to be a lot of write throughs in it in the genetics area and that that’s that’s

the genetics area and that that’s that’s

the genetics area and that that’s that’s here that that’s going to be really

here that that’s going to be really

here that that’s going to be really really huge

I think it’s possible to create a much

I think it’s possible to create a much better airplane that I have a designer
