Re: Ask Robert Zubrin *Official Thread*

Dr. Robert Zubrin does do a talk later in the video: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/technol … ngNewsSerp Quote:

I agree with pretty much everything, that Dr. Zubrin says in the video.
I will also say that I really want the "Starboat". The combination of that with Starship and some other hardware could really yield strong capabilities to the human race.

Is it possible that the root of political science claims is to produce white collar jobs for people who paid for an education and do not want a real job?

Re: Ask Robert Zubrin *Official Thread*
I respect Dr. Zubrin. Here is his video against a AI and Moon focus: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … &FORM=VIRE Quote:

I think he may be a little too worried. I think the actual intent is to make space AI viable from Earth launches, and then later to experiment with the possibilities of the Moon. This will allow a lot of hardware to be tested which may relate eventually to a Mars application. But by running parallel to the Artimus accords, many other nations will sponsor some of that hardware.
I also suspect that Elon Musk has another card up his sleeve for Mars, I choose not to say what it would be.
But it is important to listen to Dr. Zubrin as well, is one of the clever and aware people.
