Whoopi Goldberg believes Elon Musk is Donald Trump's true vice president, and not his running mate JD Vance.
Elon Musk is known to get the job done. Boeing stranded the astronauts at the space station and Musk is going to rescue them. If we are going to transition from the church age to the kingdom age that mean we need to build a new government.

Two NASA astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) since June 2024 due to technical issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. NASA decided it was too risky to bring them back on the same spacecraft, so they will be rescued by SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, which is scheduled to bring them back in February 20251.

It's definitely an interesting turn of events, especially considering the rivalry between Boeing and SpaceX. Although Musk bids the contracts quite a bit less than Boeing. Musk reminds me of a Jefferson's version of Howard Hughes.

Continued below.
No I recknon Vance is the vice president and Trump didn't pick him for no reason. Vance has proven over and over again he is a future leader. He came from humble beginnings and fought his way up to the vice presidency and therefore has a proven record politically to be vice president.

Musk is only an advisor and not an actual political leader. He's not even a politician and I don't think he wants to be. He;s too busy trying to fullfill his dream to make it to Mars lol :rocket:

I do not believe that story. Musk wants to harvest the astroids because he need the rare elements on them. They are very heat resistant and right now very expensive. My son worked on building robots for NASA for core samples. There are two companies that have gotten core samples from the asteroids.

Economic Benefits:​

  1. New Markets and Industries: The infusion of space-derived materials could create new markets and industries, potentially boosting global GDP.
  2. Resource Availability: Asteroid mining could provide an alternative supply of rare and valuable resources, alleviating the demand pressure on Earth's finite reserves.
  3. Technological Advancements: The need for advanced technology to mine asteroids could drive innovation and technological development, benefiting other sectors.
Elon Musk and companies like SpaceX are indeed interested in asteroid mining because of the valuable resources they contain. Asteroids can hold rare elements like platinum, gold, and other metals that are both expensive and essential for various industries1.

Two notable companies that have made significant strides in asteroid mining are AstroForge and Lunar Outpost. AstroForge has already secured funding for space missions to test and eventually extract minerals from asteroids2. Lunar Outpost is developing robotic technology to prospect and extract resources from asteroids and the Moon.

OK I didn't know that. But I seen a doco on Musk and believe me he wants to get to Mars. That has been his motivation for building Space X and the returnable space ships. That is why they are going to be so big because they will carry a 100 people and massive cargoes.

Sure from this tech you can also branch into other fields and I can see why companies would want to be exstracting minerals. What about Mars has it got minerals.

My pastor believed that God wants to restore life on all the planets. The issue with Mars is that NASA does not agree with Musk about this. Although a lot of people have left NASA and are working for Musk now. My niece is a PhD chemist at NASA. That in and of itself causes me to question how capable the people at NASA are. That branch of the family (my brother) pride themselves on being "functional" alcoholics. But I know how functional they are and I can see where real functional people are quick to want to go work for Muck.

NASA does not support the idea of using a nuclear explosion to restore life to Mars. The concept of using nuclear explosions to terraform Mars has been proposed in the past, but it is highly controversial and poses significant risks, including the potential for harmful radiation and the destruction of any existing Martian environment.

It's important to recognize the contributions of the talented teams and experts who work under him. Musk has publicly acknowledged the efforts of his teams, but his prominent role means he often receives much of the attention and credit.

Look at his $50,000 house in Texas at Space X. He bought a Boxabl house and the next thing you know people say he owned the company. Boxabl is glad for all the attention and they are selling so many homes they can not keep up with the demand.

At this point he does not care about money, he does not care about power. He had a job to do and he wants to get the job done and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
