#Crew2

Q-how will you do this for your non-NASA missions like #Inspiration4?
Musk: will still work with NASA. Human spflt is great, makes ppl excited about the future. #Crew2

Musk: great honor to be chosen by NASA to return to the Moon [re HLS contract award last week]. Been too long since we've been there. Then Mars. We don't want to be one of those single planet species, we want to be multiplanet. #Crew2

Q- will HLS $ help Starship?
Musk - yes. Starship funded mostly internally so far. Expensive. But need rapidly reusable rocket. #Crew2

Musk: Starship is hard. Support of NASA very much appreciated. But I think it's gonna work. #Crew2

Musk: I'm known for being optimistic about schedules, LOL, but I think Starship will be ready to launch people in a couple of years. We have to stop making craters. #Crew2

Musk: Yes, I agree with Bill Nelson that we can be on Moon by 2024. We're going to aim for sooner than that. 2024 is doable.
We're at dawn of new era of space exploration. #Crew2

That's it for briefing.
