Elon Musk -- excellent job!!  Later, I'll provide the break down in cost for Musk vs NASA to accomplish these things!  You'll be amazed!

I’d like to see it. Does it include R&D costs? It’s a lot easier to build stuff for which someone else pioneered and developed the technology.

If it is so easy, why did it take Elon to do it?

That’s a fair statement. But the same pioneering & technology existed for NASA and any other organization to take advantage of. It’s truly remarkable what SpaceX has accomplished. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

From the clip:  "SpaceX's space launches are generally less expensive than NASA's, and SpaceX has been more efficient than NASA in other ways as well:  SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launches have been advertised at around $62 million per launch, while larger rockets like the Falcon Heavy can cost upwards of $90 million per launch.  On the higher end, NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) is estimated to cost over $2 billion per launch."

Let's also understand:  Elon did this while running multiple billion dollar companies.  While being the father of 12 kids.  While campaigning for a Presidential candidate.  Major respect to him and his team!

He didn’t invent or discover rocket technology. That’s like saying Bezos invented the delivery van. Oh, he launches rockets, too.

He not only launches them, he lands them after mission.

Sad that your hatred for Trump won't even allow you to acknowledge the accomplishments of a genius like Musk, simply because he supports Trump.

He didn't invent rocket technology, he just did something with it that no one in THE WORLD has done.  No big deal, right?

He didn't invent robots but a few days ago he had a presentation and had robots walking among his guest, serving drinks and interacting with them. Again, not anything anyone has ever done, but no big deal, right?

I'm not a fan of Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates, but I recognize their accomplishments and give them credit for it.  It amazes me that some people think Donald Trump is stupid.......I can't imagine how anyone could think he's dumb and just blindly stumbled through life and became a billionaire and President of the US.......but some people do......They are blinded by their hatred.

Are you trying to tell me that Lockheed, who built the first ever stealth fighter F-117, built the SR-71 that is the fastest jet ever invented and the most advanced combat aircraft in the Joint Strike Fighter F-35 Lightning II….. didn’t invent the airplane… or jet engines?

How can that be? I thought maybe the Wright brothers built the F-35 since they flew the first airplane.

Consider me shocked!!

Next you will be trying to tell me that Samsung didn’t invent the television.

Musk is the perfect example of how the private sector can achieve things better than government. I know LRF agrees with this. He has mentioned it more than once. Lol
