fundamentally the future is vastly more exciting and interesting if we're a spacefaring civilization and a multi-planet species than if we're or not you want to be inspired by things you want to wake up in the morning you think the future is gonna be great and that's what what bring a space for exhalation is all about and I can't think of anything more exciting than going out there and bring among the stars I think we've figured out how to pay for it this is very important next key element is propulsive landing in order to land on on face like the moon where there is no atmosphere or to land on Mars you really have to get propel propulsive landing perfect we do not need legs for the next version we are now beginning serious development of VFR we expect to have a payload capability of 150 tons to low Earth orbit main body diameter is that is about 9 meters or 30 feet let's look at the launch cost do the order the order reverses the size of of this being a 90 meter diameter vehicle it is a huge enabler for new satellites it's also intended to be able to service the space station that would enable the creation of moon base alpha hope or some sort of a lunar base it's just 2017 I mean we should have a lunar base by now what the hell's going on why why are using combustion and rockets and you have electric cars like well it isn't some way to make an electric rocket I wish there was I feel fairly confident that we can complete the ship and be ready for a launch in about five years then in 2024 we want to try to fly for ships and yeah and over time terraforming was and making it really a nice place to be but this there's something else if you build a ship that's capable of going to Mars well what if you take that same ship and go from one place to another on earth the great thing about going to space is there's no friction so once you're out of the atmosphere it will smooth the silk no turbulence nothing there's no weather so there's an obscure now you can get to most long-distance places like seven less than half an hour
