These people are cancer. We're trying to have a rare discussion about interplanetary travel, and these idiots are too busy with this crap.
No different from a Tesla shareholder meeting. He has practice.

Kerbal Space Program taught me that it's actually not that easy to fly into the sun. I'm not sure if the spacecraft would have sufficient delta-V.One shuttle will go to Mars, the other will fly into the sun...
OT is fine... I'm referring to the "discussion about interplanetary travel"... this sort of thing is typically the result of years of research and development conducted by the scientific communities on a global scale... vetted by such communities... for solid science and safety... not by an individual that happens to have a few billion at their disposal that believes in the commercialization of such activities.There's not exactly a ton to discuss about TSLA in the after hours. This board went silent for an hour. I don't think a little OT is unheard of.
Elon kept pointing out that the first manned mission will be quite dangerous. I think the first manned ship should be called "the B Ark" (also from HGTTG). Then he can send the volunteers from the audience!Yes.

It is not Elon's... or any *one's* place in the world to direct the human race. it is simply ego that drives one to believe they are our leader. whether it be Bezos, Bigelow, Benson or Musk... this kind of thinking is no different than Trump believing he should be our president due to his powerful wealth and business successes.

That was a pretty amazing presentation by Elon. Makes you realise what else occupies his time.
Back to TSLA... obviously the ratio between TSLA and SCTY is approaching 0.11 (versus going the other way). Every day it does this I take to be a day that the investment community overall is forgetting its doubt that the acquisition will take place.
I am amazed that he is doing all of that, plus Tesla and TE and SCTY.That was a pretty amazing presentation by Elon. Makes you realise what else occupies his time.
I believe that the numbers will be announced on the weekend, but I wouldn't place a substantial investment at risk depending on it.Planning out my trading week so that I am all set by the close on Friday. Is it fair to assume that Tesla will release Q3 deliveries number prior to the opening on Monday October 3rd? Does anyone think they'll wait until after Monday's trading is over?

"And tossing in Trump is painfully hyperbolic."I'm honestly not following your complaint, however.
Pretty much everything you stated is an opinion on the matter. Your views on Musk, humanity, who has the right to go and who doesn't.
If we're discussing facts - the fact is that we have a company, for whatever purpose, driving towards a very singular goal with a highly motivated head throwing her personal fortune at it. It doesn't really matter what your feelings on Musk or his intentions are, it doesn't detract from the fact he has a pretty deep hand in the potential first missions and he isn't lacking on information or details. So it's very disheartening watching the opportunity wasted to have a public (and well publicized) discussion on the matter.
And tossing in Trump is painfully hyperbolic. As is ignorance of the years SpaceX and others have spent researching and building the means that is propelling these stages.
"And tossing in Trump is painfully hyperbolic."
that was an intentional jab to make the point... my opinion is that Trump is a cancer and a disgrace... and Elon is an intellectual... and comparing the two may be hard to swallow... but we seem to have gone from billionaires silently manipulating our governments and economies behind the scenes to them openly proclaiming themselves as rightful leaders due to their successes... Elon is in this category. I will receive many "dislikes" from this... but the best leaders in the world's history did not have billions of dollars behind them.
Take Autopilot for example... how many PhDs in computer science have expressed their concerns over premature introduction of such technologies?... how many of these opinions have made significant headlines?... now compare that to the monthly headlines we see from Elon's tweets.
The attention Elon drives towards these ideas is interesting... but it can also be very dangerous.
So Christopher Columbus should have waited until their was a consensus among the scientific communities of Europe,Asia, and Africa before setting sail with the patronage of single very wealthy woman?
Elon should wait to decarbonize land transportation until there is a universal consensus?
This is beyond stupid.
Christopher Columbus took a trip on a boat where the end result could have ended in the death of himself and his crew... Elon is making decisions that are capable of affecting every single person on the planet... maybe he's right... maybe he's wrong... but is this for him to decide?
Albert Einstein: “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
Your Columbus reference sounds good... but is not an accurate analogy for our time.

I would be surprised if Tesla waits until the market opens on Monday if you believe that maximizing stock price prior to the merger vote and the capital raise is his goal. Waiting until Monday trading hours would allow doubt to creep in.
This is a week you'll absolutely need to watch the SP carefully too, because when TSLA turns upward, it could climb quite quickly. Lots of people share your plans.
