  19. Boeing execs fly things into orbit regularly, yet they are not exactly the most popular people among Musk fandom. Boeing execs are not tech Jesuses, they do what they are payed for doing their job, quite abysmally recently, everybody understands that, then why should Musk be above critique. I really dont see what Musk made what wasnt already made before him. Ok so we can send stuff up into space, not that we couldnt send stuff up into space a priori, not that there werent the SaturnV or the Energija, which could send up 100 tons into space, if it was needed, but there never was a real incentive to send up 100 tons into orbit, except some quirky government projects. Maybe it will be commercially viable, most likely it will fail as all of its predecessors failed. It wont make space business cheaper, like ever, not because his rocket concepts dont work but because capitalism doesnt work thatway, capitalism works in a way that if he can charge NASA for 80 million per seat on his capsule, he will charge NASA 80 million per seat in his capsule, he wont cut prices for the sake of cutting prices, noone would do in his place.The only thing what could cut prices would be competition, but theres no real competition in the space industry. 70% of all satellite launches is done by governments, Americans wont send up their crucial satellites on Russian rockets, Russinas wont send up their crucial satellites on American rockets, and Chinese wont send up their satellites on both, its a national security concern. Let alone I dont see why lets say his hypersonic passenger liners would actually help humanity, on rocket launch combust more GHG gases than 50 jets, its an incredibly wasteful way of transport, thatswhy nobody even tried it before Musk. Clever people first calculate, what they actually want to achieve, not going in headon, because technology which supports their wild ideas doesnt grow out of the ground, if they sketch an idea. Yeah Musk could sketch giant electric rocket engines on his rockets, and sell it as groundbreaking innovation, yet as long as giant electric rocket engines dont exist it is a mundane enterprise. He uses the Steve Jobs recipe with some more credibility, Jobs sold computers with a promise that one will save the world thatway, Musk sells EVs, they dont sell physical products but visions, and objectively their most sought after products are Tesla stocks. What Elon Musk really do, is taking well known sci fi concepts from the past, which were all tried and failed and try to push them through with brute force and advertizing, hile gathering a bunch of sci fi fans behind his projects to support him.
