Elon Musk: Without Faster Innovation, There's No Chance of a Mars City

Elon Musk: We need to accelerate our rate of innovation.

“The thing that concerns me most right now is that unless we improve our rate of innovation dramatically, then there is no chance of a base on the moon or a city on Mars.

I think we need to be very careful of getting stuck in a local maximum. The Space Shuttle was something that was really stuck in a local maximum for a long time. We don't want to be in that situation.”
