Why is it people who (rightly) tore #Elon a new asshole for his pie-in-the-sky Mars obsession are now celebrating him for his only slightly less unrealistic Moon plans?
> Are Elon Musk’s Mars plans finally coming back down to Earth? Musk used to call the Moon ‘a distraction.’ Now he says #SpaceX is building a city there. https://www.theverge.com/science/880672/spacex-elon-musk-moon-mars-ipo-blue-origin
