It's easy to sneer at things like this but at least he's trying stuff and some of it is succeeding.

That describes literally anyone who's ever tried to make a difference. It's a poor excuse.

That's great. It also has absolutely nothing to do with why the BFR is an impractical idea which can't commercially work.

Ok, can we just pause for a second and acknowledge that whether or not we think the earth is flat, and whether or not this guy will actually make a difference, modern technology is incredible? Maybe I'm just easily impressed, but that fact the people can get into space at all in astounding, not to mention unspeakably cool.
