Elon Musk unveils Mars rocket plans

Space race: Elon Musk says his Mars rocket could take people into orbit as soon as next year -- for a fraction of the estimated cost. He tells CNN's Rachel Crane why he's so confident in the mission & reveals the "best design decision" he's ever made.

When Elon smiles, I smile. When Elon launches his rocket, I launch my rocket.

That is the longest CNN has gone this year without mentioning Trump

That sls rebuttal caught me by surprise. Didn’t think he’d say what we were all thinking😂 What a beautiful beautiful man

For all the doubters and naysayers, my brother was working at Lockheed Martin when Musk and SpaceX first started. They were laughing at him, saying there was no way to land and reuse rockets. They aren’t laughing now.

Thank you for showing positive attitude on Elon's work. Too many journalists are being unfair speaking about his companies.

That's incredible that we are living in the time of Elon musk. This is how it must have felt like to live at the time of Galileo, Newton, Tesla and Einstein. Amazing.
What I don't get, *why so many people hate and doubt Elon?*

I absolutely love to see him with such a lighthearted, yet direct position. He is a treasure!

Elon made that face specifically for the memes lol

"if the development continues to grow exponentially", that explains a lot.

"Did you say SLS" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥😊

The is a really good, GENUINE INTERVIEW. The interviewer actually knew what they were talking about beforehand and were very interested in the whole thing.

"Did he say commercial crew or SLS?"

SLS - Space Launch System (the disposable one😂😂😂)

Professor: Buck Rogers is an example of science fiction.
Elon Musk: Hold my beer!
Many years STARSHIP!

I remember when Rachel Crane started doing stories for CNN and I knew they hired someone who was excited about science, especially space exploration.

[jasongoodacre]

CNN should stick to these types of reports instead of attacking Trump.

Space X is what happens when a scientist/engineer drives a company as opposed to MBAs: vision, and greatness. Meanwhile back at the MBA run Boeing.... we have a floundering company with a broken culture.

I liked Everyday Astronaut’s interview better.

Great job Rachael! It's refreshing to see good reporting on this subject. It's a rare thing.
