Grifter, grand stander, psychopath, OCD, sometimes just greedy, sometimes don’t even care about money but almost always hard working; that is the OCD part. One or more typical of most driven and successful people. Movers and shakers who change the world around them with many degrees of success and scale of course. It takes a lot of energy to get people to go along with your dreams or mania but you can’t do it alone. They push and push and when they are not pushing they are scheming about how and where to push next. Enough is never enough. I don’t know what really motivates them, hope for success or fear of failure. Sometimes happy but never satisfied.
The other mystery is how they manage to continue to attract followers when they can be so easily hated. People don’t like to be pushed and only ride waves of excitement for a short time before tiring or wanting to just be a human again.

That is capitalism — the only way to really get into space is to find a commercial interest pushing us that way. Unfortunately, NASA is a has-been government organization now — its early great accomplishments proved it can be done, but they have been tainted by the overall deep state agenda. Now it is time for forward thinking capitalists to push the boundaries.
