    Once Elon Musk was asked about how to find inspiration to continue forward in the difficult field of space exploration.

    His response was that for anyone who needs inspiration, they should just go do something else, because it’s a hard enough field that it won’t be possible for a person who doesn’t have sufficient intrinsic motivation.

      Yeah yeah, he just wants to keep all the NASA subsidies (which he says he doesn’t get) to himself.

      Elon bought himself into space exploration, he wasn’t even smart enough to get a degree in physics without buying it from the school.

      So I’m going to take his quotes about inspiration with a big bag of salt.
