It's complete and utter bullshit that's never going to get to the human testing phase before Elon's empire finally implodes under the weight of his various frauds, so don't let it keep you up at night worrying.

Cool, another thread that could have been about something that will now be about elon musk instead.

Talk about mind-machine interfaces is a subject for a philosophy thread, not a tech thread, because it sure as hell isn't happening in our lifetimes.

The problem is not the cost of the rockets. The reason we haven't, and won't, colonise the moon is there's no economic reason to do so and wouldn't be even if you could reuse as many rockets as you wanted.

Building things for space is generally bespoke, which is why it's expensive. That's not going to change because there's no reason to put mass produced things into space other than satellites. There is nothing useful to humans in space that can be extracted and transported more easily than it can be acquired on earth.

That's not even really a cost problem, it's just a lack of motivation: there's no real reason to put men in space, so no one's interested in it.
