I trust it when someone who in on the spectrum is building an army of robots that he can control with his mind.
What could go wrong?
At the Tesla stockholder meeting last week, an audience member asked if he could be transferred into an Optimus robot. Elon Musk hesitated for a moment, and said you mean transfer a copy of your mind into the robot, what makes you, you. Musk said eventually, soon you can control a robot via Neuralink. But yes, soon most of your mind can be placed into the robot so you’re moving around as a robot.
When? Musk said probably within ten years. Crazy talk! Imagine if you placed multiple copies of your mind into dozens of robots, think of all the housework that can be done. Or war against your enemies.
More garbage in garbage out. Its StarShip that was originally part of the Artemis mission. NOT FALCON 9. Which leads me to think you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Best you ween yourself from AI and personally look at the actual facts by the players themselves: SpaceX/Blue Horizons/NASA.
The mission, no later than 2029, is to land 2-4 people near the Moon’s South Pole, find the best landing site, create a permanent landing pad, find water, return to the Lunar Orbiter, safely return to Earth.
You have indeed been smoking something. Space mission, space companies, etc are not you forte.
New Glenn was the launch vehicle for the two Mars bound probes: On November 13, 2025, Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket successfully launched NASA’s twin ESCAPADE Mars probes, named Blue and Gold.
Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy are not going to be used to get 2-4 people to the Moon. They are not powerful enough and are not part of the Artemis mission.
A total of 4 [ four ] lunar probes have been launched on Falcon 9 rockets as of November 18, 2025.
4 is not plenty.
February 2019: Beresheet (Israeli lunar lander by SpaceIL) — launched on a Falcon 9, aimed for the Moon but crashed during landing.
November 2022: Hakuto-R Mission 1 (Japanese ispace lunar lander) — Falcon 9 launch, reached lunar orbit but crashed on landing attempt.
January 2024: Peregrine Mission One (Astrobotic lunar lander, part of NASA CLPS program) — Falcon 9, suffered propulsion failure and did not reach the Moon.
February 2024: Odysseus (Intuitive Machines IM-1) — Falcon 9, successfully landed on the Moon (first U.S. soft landing since Apollo 17).
August 2024: Blue Ghost (Firefly Aerospace lunar lander) — scheduled or launched on Falcon 9 under NASA CLPS.
Several other NASA CLPS and commercial lunar missions have used or are booked on Falcon 9.
This all quite separate from the Starship program which is still under development and is the most powerful and most advanced rocket ever built. Blue Origin cannot beat SpaceX to the moon because SpaceX has ALREADY sent a NASA lander to the moon in 2024, Try and get a clue will you?
Going to take them another 6 months or so to get to Mars, so why don't you wait till they actually get to Mars and land there before making noise about it?
A substantial number of Mars missions have ended up crashing on Mars.
Now get off the cocaine/fentanyl even if its for only a day will you?
I guess you are more interested in being an obnoxious troll than interested in space.
Bezos has made a lot of money, and Kudos to the little New Mexico kid who made it big, and now thinks he’s some soft of astronaut cowboy or something...
However, putting him against Musk in anything but net worth is comical.
Musk, like him or hate him, truly believes in the things he does, whether they are misguided or not, he’s clearly not motivated simply by money... Bezos on the other hand, is just an opportunist at best, when it comes to all these other things he decides to play in.
Haha and that single launch is the first time Blue Origin even managed an Orbital flight.
Sorry, but you really want to compare which company has been advancing space exploration between Space X and Blue Origin, you are going to find Blue Origin highly lacking.
I am sure there are very smart people involved in Blue Origin, but when your most known for shooting your owner and his gold digging gf into sub orbital flights, and space “tourism”.. you aren’t remotely on par.
Space X has launched 146 times this year so far. They have literally made launching things into orbit a near every day occurrence.
Blue Origin has had 2.. 1 a suborbital PR stunt, and the launch you cited.
These two companies are not even remotely in the same class.
Never marry a woman who is crazy for your money and keeps making insane demands.
These two companies are not even remotely in the same class. single launch is the first time Blue Origin even managed an Orbital flight.
—
Blue Origin’s New Glenn is focused on the Moon, while SpaceX’s Starship is focused on Mars.
Starship has not managed to even reach orbit ...
I have some Estes rockets.
