Elon Musk makes large rockets. Capable of landing or splashdown. If you're familiar with the history of the space industry, his rockets are very different from anything that's come before. Sending such a large rocket to Mars or the Moon is a bit of a puzzle. They're not modular. Which would be logical. Assemble the modules into the desired configuration. If something on the rocket fails, the entire rocket would have to be decommissioned. There's talk of creating a fuel depot in orbit. That's also a dubious explanation. Keeping hundreds of Raptor engines in orbit without any power isn't economically feasible. A strange idea at first glance.
Tesla also has humanoid robots. Designed to help people. Give these robots assault rifles. Put them in rockets. Send them into orbit. Disguised as fuel tankers. And after a cataclysm on Earth, land the rockets at strategic points. Release the robots. No one will interfere, there will be no air defense. And to conquer the remaining territories using Teslas, powered by solar energy.
Why did I even think of this? Over the past 500 years, there are material traces of at least two global catastrophes, radically changing life and culture on Earth. And spaceships carrying animals and sensors should have already been sent to the Moon and Mars for reconnaissance. Sending people there right away is in stark contrast to NASA's policy. I don't see the logic in Elon Musk's space program.
