![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](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1866156293481767221/ext_tw_video_thumb/1866153674789036032/pu/img/bQmCUfGsk1J8qAqL.jpg)
