Yeah, it was kind of absurd for me to lump them together. Branson and Bezos are the ones gunning for commercial space activity. Elon is gunning to colonize Mars (among all kinds of other things) and thereby increase our odds of surviving as a species. Big difference there. That said, I still do wonder if Musk is lowkey going for the minerals on Mars. You have more faith in him than I do, but I'm open to the hope that he's genuinely not motivated by money and is altruistic.
