Well, I woke up this morning in kind of a dreamy mood and realized that today was the day we record the right angles. Then all of a sudden, a bolt of electricity shot up and threw me, and I sat up in bed and a cold sweat, and I thought, my God, we haven't talked about SpaceX for two weeks consecutively. And next thing I know, I'm out the door running rapidly to the studio and so on and so on. Hi everybody, I'm Bill Little here with Steve Green and Scott.

However, I have to tell you guys, this one is not like another cool little piece of news.

This actually may be the single most important decision made in this century so far.

I'm going that far out on a limb.

Without a whole lot of fanfare on X,

Elon Musk has announced that he is going to put the Mars settlement program behind the moon

settlement program. And that is the most important decision Elon Musk has made since he's been

planets. But he said we can put a sustainable base on the moon in 10 years.

And not only can we do it faster, but everything, the moon is enormously valuable and much,

Elon's not given up on Mars.

He just, I think, understands, look, if you're, Mars has

1% of the atmosphere of the Earth. It is for all intents and purposes a perfect vacuum. So all

of the technologies needed to survive on Mars. You are going to have to test somewhere. So why not do it

on the moon and put a permanent presence up there

where you can then just simply just get the stuff into interplanetary space at, what is it,

a 30th, a 50th of the cost of the energy to get it off the earth? It was such an important

decision and received essentially no press. I didn't even find it if I hadn't stumbled on it.

But it's a very, very big deal. Yeah, I actually, I saw it first thing Monday morning. I wrote a
