Lol no. Musk just funds the projects. He has people who develop the tech. Tony Stark funded AND developed his tech.

you guys are really guzzling down the tip of Elon Musks small white dick arent you?

That presentation was poor, he didn't execute any of his demonstrations: to show how the panel is invisible in direct light (he looks around to his director to wonder why its not working), he talks about global warming like a fanatic for half the presentation, the videos are rendering of crap and the real models just look like toys, for a mathematician he doesn't explain the savings with any numbers or graphs. The website is a mess, just pictures of products and no real substance to convince you to purchase other than making it look futuristic.

They've been available for awhile now. It's just the company that does it is a real small scale one; plus solar panels (like mentioned by many here) are still too expensive and have a long ROI.

No one but rich people and ones who want to feel good about themselves for using green energy can afford or will fork out for a system that takes 10-25 years to pay itself off and then need to be replaced once you get to that point.

Also, interesting read for people who want to lease solar panels from SolarCity (which is owned by Tesla) -http://watchdog.org/212170/surprise-solar-liens/

I think before he goes around boasting of bringing people to Mars he should figure out how to get hardware and people safely to orbit first. Every mission those things deliver is important. Your talking hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in hardware that has to be rebuilt, not to mention cargo resupply missions for the ISS. It's not like we have a backup fleet ready to go.

As far as reusability goes - it looks ****ing cool. It's also old as hell as someone else pointed out. The reason why it hasn't been done before is because it's costs a lot and you have to reuse them 10 times before you get your money's worth. Has musk been able to reuse one yet? Two?

Not a hater, he's brought a lot of attention to a field that hasn't really gotten much in the past few decades and his company is one of the only ones to be successful at it outside Boeing/Lockheed. Just because he has great marketing, a cool logo, and an old rocket that lands itself doesn't mean he is going to be able to achieve his goal.

Considering their competition has had 3x the launches and no failures I would say that's pretty bad. We aren't dealing with a hover board that catches fire. All those missions are important.

There is only a 2% difference between Musk and the industry average. 95% =/= no failures.

Imagine the cost of the tiles, and you can't have Randy and Hernando putting those on the house. Way too expensive.

So you're saying the entire rocket industry is 95% successful. And that the entire rocket industry has had failures. Can't argue there.
