I’m reading Elon Musk’s biography. The guy dreams big, has an unbelievable will, is a ball buster to himself and the people that work for him, gets things done that most people would find impossible.

He’s someone you don’t bet against. His big dream is Mars - I would not bet against him getting there... and a tenth of the cost that NASA does it for.

...

They’ll have multiple crew capsules from which to chose, including one built by SpaceX. Capsules are the best solution considering cost and safety. NASA is also going to use a winged spacecraft built by Sierra Nevada for cargo missions. The military is currently using another winged spacecraft for unmanned long term space research missions.
