Elon Musk wants SpaceX employees to go to the moon, possibly Mars

Not satisfied with fomenting the electric car revolution or designing a real-world Jetsons-scape, Musk is now pushing workers at his aerospace manufacturer to focus on development of a vessel that could take humans to the moon and beyond. “Please consider the top SpaceX priority […] to be Starship,” Musk wrote in a company-wide email, referring to SpaceX’s reusable rocket meant for “service to earth orbit, moon, Mars and beyond.” (CNBC)

Not satisfied with fomenting the electric car revolution or designing a real-world Jetsons-scape, Musk is now pushing workers at his aerospace manufacturer to focus on development of a vessel that could take humans to the moon and beyond. “Please consider the top SpaceX priority […] to be Starship,” Musk wrote in a company-wide email, referring to SpaceX’s reusable rocket meant for “service to earth orbit, moon, Mars and beyond.” (CNBC)

Talking point: Musk’s musings come just over a week after SpaceX sent two astronauts to the International Space Station for the first time. The company’s Starship gambit hasn’t been as successful so far. Various prototypes have collapsed, destroyed during testing or erupted into a hellish ball of flames.
