Calling Mars or ET Phone Home
#5
Explanation: I am reminded of Arthur C Clarks [the guy who proposed satellites] 3 laws ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke%27s_three_laws

Quote:
  1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, they are almost certainly right. When they state that something is impossible, they are very probably wrong.
  2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
  3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.


Personal Disclosure: I am also reminded of an engineering axiom ...

Good, Fast, Cheap! PICK TWO ONLY OK!

Elon Musk has clearly chosen cheap and good hence none of that will happen fast!

Do not engage in useless activity ... and ... from one thing, know many things!

Think Globally, Act Locally, Feel Internally ... Wash, Rinse, Dry and Repeat!

It's Just A Ride!
