This is CBS I on the world.

I'm John Batchel.

I welcome Richard Smith, who is writing for the motley fool that is investment.

However, he's an international lawyer who's practiced in some of the hottest spots on the planet right now, Moscow and Keefe and Washington, D.C.

Come to him because of an essay, he's published a fetching essay, the tortoise and the hare,

otherwise known as the tortoise, Bezos, the hare, Musk, and the race too, well, it's not quite

clear where they're racing.

Musk would have it to be Mars.

I believe the moon is up first stop.

However, the question has been in front of us for some time.

Bezos has Blue Origin, building the New Glen Rocket.

Musk has SpaceX, building a lot of different things, but one of them is Starlink that

pays for the efforts that he has at Boca Chica for super heavy for Falcon 9, certainly for Starship.

Are they in a contest with each other?

That is part of the joy of Richard's essay.

We assume they are, but at the same time, they're going in different paths, and they've

chosen different paces.

Therefore, Richard, a very good evening to you.

Thank you for this.

This is wonderful.

You write of the book about this race, but you're outside of it and you're looking in to the facts in the matter.

Let's establish right away, Blue Origin and SpaceX.
