That is the new kind of war.
Big complex projects have long planning horizons. Elon Musk doesn’t operate that way. In 3 or 4 years, he expects to launch a manned mission to Mars. In 8 or 9 years, a productive Mars colony is expected to be operating.
Reuters: Trump to sign orders to boost nuclear power
Reuters: Bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduce bill to boost nuclear power
