Some interesting responses (thoughts) on the article:
-This is what uncontrolled, under-taxed capitalism results in.
- How did the US government and its army NOT manage to develop this capability despite the trillions they have got in taxpayer money.
-The big brother is certainly going to be an individual, not a government.
-As Musk ages and systems accommodate his incredible powers, he will be increasingly prone to make decisions potentially ruinous to millions of people.
-China complained this year to a UN panel that SpaceX was putting so many satellites into orbit that it would prevent others from accessing space.
