After Elon Musk e Space X

BN: Autino, about space tourism, one of the flagships of your movement, what do you think about the #Elon Musk’s pioneer projects, and President Obama ‘s announcement about having people on Mars by 2030?
Adriano Autino: Elon’s program to bring 100 explorer-tourists to Mars and the US president’s declaration are important to the goal of exciting the public, making them more supportive towards the renaissance. The lesson to be drawn from Musk’s genius has a decidedly evolutionary significance. For years, we have discussed in our symposia and congresses the need to reduce the cost of transportation to Earth orbit, including the development of fully reusable launchers. The necessary step, to us, was a Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) vehicle, a technology which is not available yet.
