That seems to me to be a very very smart man, good on your Mr. Trudeau

"
The delusion that relates to private spaceflight isn’t really what you’re describing. They’re big dreams, and I don’t have any problems with people dreaming. Mars One, let them dream. That’s not the delusion. The delusion is thinking that SpaceX is going to lead the space frontier. That’s just not going to happen, and it’s not going to happen for three really good reasons: One, it is very expensive. Two, it is very dangerous to do it first. Three, there is essentially no return on that investment that you’ve put in for having done it first. So if you’re going to bring in investors or venture capitalists and say, "Hey, I have an idea, I want to put the first humans on Mars." They’ll ask, "How much will it cost?" You say, "A lot." They’ll ask, "Is it dangerous?" You’ll say, "Yes, people will probably die." They’ll ask, "What’s the return on investment?" and you’ll say "Probably nothing, initially." It’s a five-minute meeting. Corporations need business models, and they need to satisfy shareholders, public or private.

"THE DELUSION IS THINKING THAT SPACEX IS GOING TO LEAD THE SPACE FRONTIER. THAT’S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN."
A government has a much longer horizon over which it can make investments. This is how it’s always been. And the best example, I think, is Christopher Columbus. That was not a private mission. There were some private monies in the public monies that were used, but basically the mission statement was established by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, and they said go plant the flag wherever you land. There’s hegemonistic motivation, and it wasn’t specifically military at the time, but Spain certainly had an armada to back up their land grabs. Only after that, only after Christopher Columbus comes back and says, "Here are the people that I found, here are the foods, and here are the trade winds," only then does the Dutch East India Trading Company come in and make a buck off of it. They didn’t have to make that first investment. The risks were quantified, the cost was well understood, and the return on investment was calculable. That is a recurring model in the history of our civilization, and I don’t see any reason why that would be any different from advancing a frontier such as that in space."

Neil De Grasse Tyson is right, as usual =~)

I can be your Queen Isabella, if you elect me as the Monarch of a World Government.

Space Exploration Guilds will then be formed that will train people from a young age in the art of everything to do with getting to Mars, and beyond.

Does that make sense? =)

I do apologize for being so hysterical here, in as much as I can show remorse, which is often not much.

You've got to be getting my gender right though, and that's Woman.  My sex is also trans female, and I think it's just not wise to try to portray me as non-trans or non-female or non-woman.

You need my help and the help of my Hive, don't be so....antagonistic of me.....  That's a very very bad idea.

You're not going to do this with Corporations people: you need Monarchism and Guilds.....

Please stop being so stubborn and obstinate: help me obtain surgeries, easy access to prescriptions for CBD Oil (because I am poor) and prescription for Ecstacy/Molly I can take every now and then to help me be more prosocial, then I will be far more relaxed, less hysterical here.

What's the issue?
