And NASA rocket science has been so on-the-money? At least commercial actually builds hardware that flys. LOL.

I guess when China lands on the Moon, all we will be able to do is shake their hands and compliment their accomplishement. We will then probably want to hitch a ride on their Moon ship too.

Beancounter, or maybe Clark just invented that number â€“ itâ€™d be great if he could say where and when Musk said such a thing.. ya know, like a journalist.

What number? I quoted the Spaceflightnow article.

I add things up this way:

Yes, a recent report has Elon saying he was quoted out of context. Says he needs $100 million for the LAS so I’d think your adding is not far off the mark.
