ELON: SPACE TECHNOLOGY HAS TO IMPROVE, OR WE'LL BE STUCK ON EARTH FOREVER "I'd simply come to the conclusion that if something didn't happen to improve rocket technology, we'd be stuck on Earth forever. The big aerospace companies had just had no interest in radical innovation. All they wanted... to do was try to make their old technology slightly better every year. In fact sometimes it would actually get worse. Particularly in rockets, it's pretty bad. In 1969, we were able to go to the moon with a Saturn V. And then, the Space Shuttle could only take people to low Earth orbit. And then the Space Shuttle retired. That trend is basically going to zero." Source: Y Combinator, September 2016show more

The future of space exploration hinges on innovation in rocket technology. If we don't progress, we risk being Earth-bound forever. Let's push the boundaries like never before!️

Why do I get the feeling @elonmusk has or knows about some technology that is available and not being used?

Elon Musk's perspective on space technology and its need for continuous improvement is deeply rooted in his vision for humanity's future.

I'll stick to Earth and it's abundance of nature over some barren inhospitable planet where you have to always be inside or wear a spacesuit. Funny how we were able to get to the moon in 1969 with the technology of the time, move forward to 2024 with all the advanced technology we have and we can't get there, hell we can't even rescue stranded astronauts.

Elon Musk: Technology only improves if smart people work like crazy to make it better. “I had simply come to the conclusion that if something didn't happen to improve rocket technology, we'd be stuck on Earth forever. And the big aerospace companies had just had no interest in radical innovation. All they wanted to do was try to make their old technology slightly better every year. And in fact, sometimes it would actually get worse. And particularly in rockets, it's pretty bad. In 1969 we were able to go to the moon with a Saturn V and then the space shuttle could only take people to low Earth orbit. And then the space shuttle retired. I mean that trend is basically trends to zero. People sometimes think technology just automatically gets better every year, but it actually doesn't. It only gets better if smart people work like crazy to make it better. That's how any technology actually gets better. And by itself, technology, if people don't work on it actually will decline. You can look at the history of civilizations, many civilizations, and look at say ancient Egypt where they were able to build these incredible pyramids and then they found they basically forgot how to build pyramids. And then even hieroglyphics, they forgot how to read hieroglyphics. Or you look at Rome and how they're able to build these incredible roadways and aqueducts and indoor plumbing and they forgot how to do all of those things. And there are many such examples in history. So I think you should always bear in mind that, you know, entropy is not on your side.” Interview with Y Combinator, September 15, 2016

Elon Musk on how he initially got into space: “I didn't understand why NASA had nothing about people going to Mars.” “The space stuff actually came from a conversation Adeo [Ressi] and I had. Adeo asked me, what am I doing after PayPal? I said I thought maybe there'd be something philanthropic that could be done in space that would get the public more excited about space travel, in particular sending people to Mars. I said, I'm sure NASA's got that covered. So, I'll go look on the NASA website for when are we going to Mars? Because, of course, it should be on the website: We're going to Mars in this year, and this is how we're going to do it. But there was nothing. Nothing at all about people going to Mars. I was like, I just don't understand why there's nothing about people going to Mars. Because if you look at the literature in the 1970s, it was all about, we went to the moon, now we're going to go to Mars. And so, what happened? There was the Space Shuttle, and the Space Shuttle turned out to be a really big mistake. It could barely get to Low Earth Orbit. Forget about the moon or Mars or anything like that. So, I thought, maybe I can do something that's going to get the public excited about Mars, and that will generate congressional support, which will turn into funding for NASA to go do this.” Churchill Club, April 7, 2009

Wow… only in 30-36 months?! If true, SpaceX is absolutely undervalued at $1.25 trillion bc no other company on Earth has the technology to scale AI in space, all while every company seems to be spending $ billions to scale AI on Earth. “You can mark my words. In 36 months, but probably closer to 30 months, the most economically compelling place to put AI will be space. It will then get ridiculously better to be in space. The only place you can really scale is space.”

I want to believe, but there's too much evidence that not only tells me but shows me that they lied. I feel like low Earth orbit is as far as we can go... 1. The van Allen radiation belt. 2. The disgusted, unexciting, ashamed post moon landing conference with the three astronauts. Their body language, mannerisms, and answers scream that they're lying. 3. The lack of noise of the jet engines in the "videos." 4. How did they get the lunar rover on the spaceship? 5. No craters or dust underneath the spaceship. 6. How did the film the spaceship take off perfectly if nobody was left on the moon to operate the camera, and how was it so perfect if there was a delay? 7. The rockets and the spaceship look like a model. 8. The video of them saying that they are 130,000 miles away from Earth when all they really did was cover up the windows when they are in low earth orbit and film a small portion of Earth from low Earth orbit to simulate that they were far away, but then you find out that they're only in low Earth orbit when they uncover the windows. (Shown in the video below) 9. How we have to redesign the space suits to be able to handle the atmosphere on the moon. 10. The lack of talk and missions to the moon ever since. 11. The numerous blacked out photos from NASA. 12. How an older smartphone has way more technology than the entire spaceship back in 1969, and how we were able to even communicate with them in the spaceship as the one astronaut who passed away before the moon launch specified that they had trouble communicating between buildings and the shuttle on the ground. 13. Not one single astronaut would put their hand on the Bible and say they went to the moon. Why? 14. All the CGI and bubbles caught on NASA videos. 15. All the green screen captures and astronauts on wires in the "shuttle" and on the "ISS." There are so many bloopers and outtakes of astronauts and shuttle hatches malfunctioning, people appearing in the background of videos of the shuttle, people fading in and out, I could go on forever... How would you convince me against the evidence or prove me wrong from the arguments that I have provided?

Elon Musk: My initial plan was not to start a rocket company. I just wanted to fund a one-time Oasis mission to Mars. “I started off initially with the idea of doing something in the space exploration arena. In fact, it wasn't actually with the idea of creating a company. It was initially with the thought of spurring interest in sending people to Mars. So I put together this idea called Mars Oasis, which was to send a small greenhouse to the surface of Mars and get people excited about the idea of going there and thus increase NASA's budget in order to make it happen. As I got more and more into that, I discovered that the real issue was that the cost of space transportation was really high, and it was getting worse. So we're used to technology getting better every year, but in some arenas it actually does not. It gets worse, particularly when you consider that in 1969 we were able to go to the moon and then we were unable to go beyond low Earth orbit. And now with the space shuttle retired, we're not even able to go to Earth orbit at all, even with people. That was not the right trajectory. So I actually went to Russia three times to look at buying an ICBM to launch this mission. Just very crazy. After my third trip of trying to negotiate with the Russians to buy an ICBM and I did actually get a deal, so figured out what it would cost and everything. But I concluded that my initial assumption had been wrong, that it was not a question of trying to generate more will to explore. Because I think the United States in particular is distillation of the human spirit of exploration. Space exploration is fundamental to the American psyche. But people really need to believe that it can be done and it's not going to break the bank if it does. So that's when I decided to start a rocket company. And I actually didn't think it would succeed and it almost didn't. We started off developing a small rocket which was kind of a scale model version. It was about 100,000 pounds of thrust. So big, you know, big, big by normal standards, but small for a rocket. And developed the engine and the airframe and the electronics and the guidance control system and then proceeded to have three failed launches in a row. And so for various technical reasons, the first three launches did not succeed in reaching orbit. Launches two and three did get to space, but they didn't achieve enough speed to reach orbital velocity. So this is 2008. And so we were heading into the recession and we had one rocket left. And fortunately in late 2008, that fourth launch did work and we made it to orbit. And then we won a NASA contract after that. And so fortunately things worked out. But if that fourth launch had not worked, then SpaceX wouldn't be around. So it was very close call. In fact, when I started I thought, okay, I've got enough money, I think I've got enough money for three launches. Fortunately, it was just enough to make that fourth one.” Montana Jobs Summit, September 16, 2013

Elon Musk: There's no chance of a city on Mars unless we dramatically improve our rate of innovation. “The thing that concerns me most right now is that unless we improve our rate of innovation dramatically, then there is no chance of a base on the moon or a city on Mars. I think we need to be very careful of getting stuck in a local maximum. The Space Shuttle was something that was really stuck in a local maximum for a long time. We don't want to be in that situation.” Interview at the Satellite Conference, March 20, 2020

ELON MUSK: The only way to reach 1,000 terawatts of AI power is a mass driver on the Moon. "In order to get to 1,000x from a terawatt per year. The only way that we can really achieve that is on the moon with a mass driver, essentially where you do local production of photovoltaics and radiators on the moon, maybe you bring the chips from Earth, or you could conceivably make the chips on the moon, and but you need most of the mass to be made on the moon, so you don't have to transport it to the moon from Earth, and then because the moon has no atmosphere and only 1/6 Earth's gravity, you can accelerate the AI satellites into deep space without a rocket, so you can basically shoot them into space using an electromagnetic gun, like a, like a rail gun type. I mean, just, it's basically a linear electric motor, as a way to think about it."

ELON MUSK: “The way to expand compute is really in space. There’s a lot of room in space. And if you look at the size of Earth relative to the Sun or relative to the Solar System, you realize just how tiny it is. We’re very, very tiny. We only receive about half a billionth of the Sun’s energy. So you can really think of Earth as being like a tiny dust mote in a vast darkness. So the way to expand compute without, you know, using up all the land on Earth is to do so in space. And then you can do it without using space for power and water on Earth; you can just do it in space. So I think we’ll probably be launching our first AI satellites next year, and then we’ll be able to do that, I think, at large scale in about two years.”

Columbia Space Shuttle (2003) destroyed in outer space. The story we were told is that it burnt up upon reentry from a two week old hole. Someone faked a video of a destroyed space shuttle in space? With perfect physics of zero G in Earth orbit? 'TheFakingHoaxer' took credit for this video, but there is no such person. I'd love to meet 'TheFakingHoaxer' and check out their source work for how they made this. They seem to take credit for a lot of hyper realistic, possible classified leaks.

The Sun is essentially all the energy" "If you wanted to harness a millionth of the sun's energy, that would be about 100,000x more electricity than we currently generate on Earth for all of civilization" "The only way to scale is to go to space with solar. Launching from Earth, you can get to about a terawatt per year" "Beyond that, you want to launch from the moon. You want to have a mass driver on the moon" "With that mass driver on the moon, you could do probably a petawatt per year"

How a single, obvious question led Elon Musk to create SpaceX and changed space travel forever: “I came to the conclusion that there wasn’t really a good reason for rockets to be so expensive, and that they could be a lot less Even in an expendable format they could be less" From day one, Elon's mission has been crystal clear: make rockets fully reusable, just like commercial airplanes "The cost of space travel would drop dramatically, because the cost of the fuel was maybe anywhere from 0.2 to 0.5 percent of the cost of the rocket But nobody had really been able to make a reusable rocket work. So I thought, ‘Okay, if we can do that, then that would really be the key breakthrough for space travel’”

Elon Musk just revealed the default state of human progress. It’s not acceleration. It’s entropic collapse. We assume because graph went up yesterday, it automatically goes up tomorrow. Anyone who’s built anything real understands technology is not force of nature. It’s unnatural state of forced execution. Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves. It does not automatically improve.” Physical board is ruthless. Stop pushing? System doesn’t pause. It actively degrades. Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that. And then the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.” Ancient Egypt forgot how to stack pyramids. Roman Empire forgot how to engineer aqueducts. United States went from walking on Moon in 1969 to completely losing capability to reach low Earth orbit just decades later. Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the Moon. Then we had the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle could only take people to low Earth orbit. Then the Space Shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit. So that’s the trend. The trend is down to nothing.” Don’t inherit the future. Have to actively fight physical friction of universe every single day just to maintain baseline. But entropy isn’t even the real threat. Anti-human narrative. When society views its own biological footprint as disease to be cured, it stops executing on physical board. Accepts stagnation as moral virtue. Musk rejects this. We’re not disease. We’re sole architects of future. But that architecture requires relentless, kinetic execution. Musk: “It only improves if a lot of people work very hard to make it better. And actually, it will, I think, by itself, degrade.” Surrender to anti-human narrative? We become next Rome. Forget how to build infrastructure of our own survival. Transition to post-scarcity, spacefaring civilization is not guaranteed by passage of time. Only guaranteed if concentrated group of operators works brutally hard to force it into existence. Capability to leave this planet is ultimate bottleneck for human survival. Entirely dependent on continuous, aggressive engineering. Want to secure ultimate high ground and become multi-planetary species? Cannot rely on momentum. Must execute the math and build the hardware every single day. Universe doesn’t negotiate with ambition. It only responds to your output. And the moment you stop building, you start forgetting how.

It actively degrades. Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that. And then the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.” Ancient Egypt forgot how to stack pyramids. Roman Empire forgot how to engineer aqueducts. United States went from walking on Moon in 1969 to completely losing capability to reach low Earth orbit just decades later. Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the Moon. Then we had the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle could only take people to low Earth orbit. Then the Space Shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit. So that’s the trend. The trend is down to nothing.” Don’t inherit the future. Have to actively fight physical friction of universe every single day just to maintain baseline. But entropy isn’t even the real threat. Anti-human narrative. When society views its own biological footprint as disease to be cured, it stops executing on physical board. Accepts stagnation as moral virtue. Musk rejects this. We’re not disease. We’re sole architects of future. But that architecture requires relentless, kinetic execution. Musk: “It only improves if a lot of people work very hard to make it better. And actually, it will, I think, by itself, degrade.” Surrender to anti-human narrative? We become next Rome. Forget how to build infrastructure of our own survival. Transition to post-scarcity, spacefaring civilization is not guaranteed by passage of time. Only guaranteed if concentrated group of operators works brutally hard to force it into existence. Capability to leave this planet is ultimate bottleneck for human survival. Entirely dependent on continuous, aggressive engineering. Want to secure ultimate high ground and become multi-planetary species? Cannot rely on momentum. Must execute the math and build the hardware every single day. Universe doesn’t negotiate with ambition. It only responds to your output. And the moment you stop building, you start forgetting how.

ELON: WITHOUT DEREGULATION, MARS WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE “The regulatory oppression, year after year, is getting worse and worse. We had our rocket sitting on the pad for two months, ready to fly. How is it possible that SpaceX could build a gigantic rocket faster than the government could move paper from one desk to another? If that trend continues, which it will do, unless there's a conscious effort to have deregulation and have sensible regulation, then Mars will be impossible. We will be forever confined to Earth. And that would be a sad eulogy. If future aliens see us, they'll come back and say, ‘They almost made it. Too bad they regulated themselves. They had the rocket and everything.’” Source: Philadelphia, October 18, 2024
