In the studio this morning. Here is a portion of the live interview.
In the first part, you can see Elon Musk testifying simultaneously to the Senate about competing with the currently monopoly. – Iron Man made manifest… =) You can jump to Elon’s opening comments at minute 0:29 of the Senate testimony and the Q&A follows, with cross-exam questions around minute 0:40.
Musk opens with how SpaceX could save the government $11.6B on one contract alone. And how we reply on Russian engines for our “assured access” to space for national security missions.
Musk: “The Atlas V cannot assure access to space when it relies on President Putin’s permission to enter space. SpaceX rockets are truly made in America.”
My favorite quote: “There’s some magic going on at SpaceX that we don’t fully understand, but we appreciate the results.”
