If you like space exploration and maybe hard science fiction too, I have a column you'll want to read. It's by Glenn Reynolds, aka Instapundit, and appears on his Substack.
It is basically an explanation of Reynolds' understanding of Elon Musk's thinking and planning to go to space. The synergies among his various enterprises are described with appreciation (Tesla, Boring, Starlink, SpaceX, etc.).
Reynolds begins with the wish that science fiction author Jerry Pournelle had lived long enough to see SpaceX's successes. Pournelle is one of the many excellent authors whose sci fi I devoured as a young man.
I am certainly encouraged by the current rate of Musk's progress. It has taken a gazillionaire who answers almost entirely only to himself, to make it happen.
