[DeTomaso] NPC: Tesla Car Assembly...

I agree.  Like I said, we work with lots of vendors and will continue to do so.

I admire what he is trying to do, but not necessarily the way he is doing it. He
has left lots of bodies in his wake.  We have hired lots of kids exiting Space-X
with lots of horror stories.   But then I don't like the slow, bureaucratic  way
NASA does business either.

Anyway… back to work.

Terry,
I am not knocking NASA , but I have to admire a guy with the talent and imagination to pursue such "Lofty goals" Pun intended! Mr. Musk recently appeared before congress ( since the Ukraine situation) and made a big point of our dependence on the Russians for delivering US ( and all other) astronauts to the ISS.  (using their outdated technology) I'm sure he realizes that he will need substantial Government investment or contracts if he hopes to reach his goals. Certainly being provided access and use of the US's tracking and communication facilities would play a huge part in reducing space -X's  capital outlay. A Billionaire who just wants to make more money could do many things that have a greater potential for profit then investing in privately held Space exploration endeavors . The fact that he has an estimated $100 million of his own money invested in Space -X shows some Jupiter sized Ballls! He has an estimate $5 Billion in tesla holding 27% of the stock and  a huge investment in Solar City. According to forbes his estimated net worth  is around $11.4 billion up around 47% JUST THIS YEAR! So no matter how much of his "mars by 2026" is hype  or how much is based on his incredible optimism you have to hand it to this guy for dong something right. And not spending his money on huge estates and chasing women. He has a wife and children and seems really devoted to advancing mankind through science and technology. We need more Billionaires like him!

Hmm?   You have to be very careful about predictions.  NASA predictions are based mostly on "funding."
Tax payer funding.   Big difference.  JPL has 24 flying missions and 10 instruments on other missions.  We
no longer do one mission at at time.  And we are only 1 of 10 NASA centers.  Prioritizing funding for those
plus future proposed missions is difficult.

I personally have worked on 9 Mars missions (Mars Observer, Mars Global Surveyor, Odyssey, MRO,
Mars Exploration Rovers, Phoenix Lander, Mars Express & Beagle2 <ESA> and MSL) and I am working
on InSight Lander and Mars 2020 right now.   It is extremely difficult to get to Mars.   We have never had a "return"
mission from Mars.  The Mars Sample Return mission has been killed many times due to funding constraints.
I've worked on 2 sample return missions.  Genesis and Stardust.  NASA has had 3 sample return missions.  You
can guess what the other one was.

It is possible, but Space-X will need to start 'today' investing billions into getting to Mars (and return) robotically
and 10x that for human spaceflight.  Just solving the radiation problem will be huge. The max 24 minute
One-Way Light Time (OWLT) means the crew will be mostly on their own.  To get the high data rates required
for human spaceflight I would assume he intends to use our DSN Antenna's for Telecom?   Building 70m antenna's
are 100 million a pop and you will need 3 sites around earth (120 deg apart) with 2 antenna's at each site.
You can do the math.

And as a privately held company what is the ROI.   I personally am excited that he is going for it.  We work with
vendors to build our spacecraft all the time.  Lockheed, Orbital, Ball, Boeing, etc.  It is mandated by Congress that
we use and fund these vendors.   The ROI for taxpayers is, of course, Technology Transfer.

BTW Elon is not the only billionaire investing big $bucks in future spaceflight. James Cameron has invested in a
startup in Seattle called "Planetary Resources" which will mine asteroids.

If anyone is interested I have put a fun document to read called "Basics of Spaceflight."   Very simple read.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35164094/BasicsSpaceFlt2.pdf     If you have kids or grandkids 9+ they
might like to read it too.

Enjoy

There is no question that Elon Musk is a genius. Between his first
commercial success (a video game he made as a teen ager), to Pay pal ,
which made him a billionaire, to Tesla, Solar City, and Space -X (which I
think is the coolest by far) the guy is absolutely brilliant. His fist
Tesla roadster was made on the lotus Elise platform. His later models are
proprietary designs. There 0-60 times are impressive. The 2013 model S
sedan does 0-60 in 3.9 and the quarter mile in 12.4 sec !
http://www.zeroto60times.com/Tesla-Electric-Cars-0-60-mph-Times.html   The
2013 model S broke the crash test machinery ! It had the best results ever
recorded http://www.wired.com/2013/08/tesla-model-s-crash-test/
His Space X rocket the Falcon 9 takes off, and the space craft  (the
dragon) travels to to the international space station( by robotic control )
unloads supplies and brings back waste and experiments. It's missions so
far have been unmanned but it can fly both robotically and by pilots (in a
future version Dragon 2) The Dragon 2 space craft will eventually be able
to carry a crew of 7 who will be able to have some limited control over the
space craft. I think it's absolutely amazing that this has been
accomplished by a privately owned company ( Space -X is not publicly
traded) . Only in the U.S.A.!  Tesla at a PEG of 2900 seems crazy , but
there are many tech companies that have no PEG because they have still to
operate at a profit!
So who knows but it's a little to risky for my blood.  But as an individual
I think Elon Musk is  a manto watch. He invested a huge portion of his own
money into Space X and has predicted they will make a manned  flight to
Mars by 2026 ( that's 10 years ahead of NASA's prediction). He named his
space craft Dragon after the peter , paul, and mary song "Puff the magic
dragon" because critics said his Space -X rocket would never get off the
ground!
