    The Falcon Heavy can carry a much larger payload than any of its private competitors.

    Putting a Tesla on that thing as the test payload is epic !!

    Certainly promising we could put man back on the moon and then Mars in my lifetime, but we still need to come up with a better propulsion system for space travel.

    And we will. As we move into space we will innovate.

    If we sit in stasis we won't.

    Your right; there has to be a better and more efficient way to accomplish this; i'm sure over time they'll develop a system to speed up space travel.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Better ways will b found as long as this is pretty much left to private enterprise and free markets.

    Perhaps but if we ever find other habitable planets, it will be the end of civilization. They are the ultimate gated communities.
