[SpaceX] Avenir, perspectives et opinions (1/4)

Space Opera a écrit:Interview de Musk postérieure à l'accident, sur des tas de choses dont la colonie martienne. Partie intéressante à 9:40 pour Mars.
On y apprend aussi en fin de vidéo que contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait croire, il passe environ 80% de son temps à faire de l'ingénierie et à participer au design. Tout le reste comme le business, les médias et autres réunions l'intéresse moins, et il a justement embauché des patrons pour ça. Lui dit passer la grande majorité de la semaine à la table à dessin avec les équipes d'ingénierie.

Interviewer: You probably don't remember this. A very long time ago, many, many, years, you took me on a tour of SpaceX. And the most impressive thing was that you knew every detail of the rocket and every piece of engineering that went into it. And I don't think many people get that about you.

Elon: Yeah. I think a lot of people think I'm kind of a business person or something, which is fine. Business is fine. But really it's like at SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell is Chief Operating Officer. She manages legal, finance, sales, and general business activity. And then my time is almost entirely with the engineering team, working on improving the Falcon 9 and our Dragon spacecraft and developing the Mars Colonial architecture.

Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's associate administrator for science a écrit:If Elon Musk's SpaceX can get to Mars and bring samples back to Earth before the United States can get there, it would be cause for celebration not lament, said NASA's new science chief.

"If Elon Musk brought the samples in the door right now I'd throw him a party out of my own money," Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's newly named associate administrator for science, told reporters Monday.

"I think that would be a huge success out of the strategies that were pursued by this administration of helping … the private industry to really grow capabilities that 10 years ago were not around," he said.
