SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on His Motivation for Mars: “If the future doesn’t include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, it’s incredibly depressing.”

People aren't perfect. Fuck these internet losers who bash everything and anyone.
* NDT is an astrophysicist that uses his platform to create buzz about science. He does a damn good job at it. Name the 2nd most famous active astrophysicist? * Bill Nye is an engineer that decided to try and make an entertaining educational show. His job is to make you think about ideas, and make it fun. You can dislike it, but that is like your opinion man. * Elon Musk is an internet billionaire. He could have just sat on his money, but he didn't He created a rocket company, and an electric car company because he wanted to be on the front of these difficult and drastically different industries. He could have been Zuckerberg and just create internet content. Give him credit for doing something.

I don't worship humans, but lets put a level head on and fairly evaluate things. I am sure Elon is a dick. I am sure I don't agree on every political angle with NDT. That doesn't mean they offer no value.
