What drives Musk's vision? Establishing permanent bases on the moon and a self-sustaining civilization on Mars. "Of anything we could do, it's the most significant as far as perpetuating the species," he says. "If we really want to understand the nature of the universe and our place in it, we must become a spacefaring civilization." This is what will drive people to get to orbit. The average person doesn't give a rats ass about science. They don't care about the intricate mysteries of the geology of Mars. They want to GO there, STAY there, and BUILD the future. Derek
