Elon Musk talks a great game. I like the cut of his jib, private enterprise colonising space? I thought it was science fiction but it’s quickly becoming reality.
Musk may soon detail the architecture he hopes will colonize the solar system.
For most of its 14 year existence, SpaceX has focused on designing and developing the hardware that will lead to its ultimate goal: colonizing Mars. These plans have remained largely secret from the general public, as company founder Elon Musk has dropped only the barest of hints. But that is expected to change on Sept. 27, during a session at the International Astronautical Congress, when Musk details some of these plans for the first time in a public forum.
However, on the eve of the meeting, Musk dropped a surprise on Twitter. The workhorse spacecraft that will carry approximately 100 tons of cargo or 100 people to the surface of Mars, which until now has been popularly known as the Mars Colonial Transporter, can’t be called that, Musk said. “Turns out MCT can go well beyond Mars, so will need a new name…” he tweeted on Friday evening. By Saturday evening he had a new name dubbing the spacecraft the “Interplanetary Transport System,” or ITS.

This happens occasionally. I changed the format of my posts to try to avid this but here it comes again. Thanks for letting me know, Roberta. Funnily, I don’t think everyone’s having the same problem. Here is a direct link for the story, https://boomtrain.net/messages/14745527059312d493b20b628/raw

Just checked that, it’s happening to me, too. What a nuisance
It doesn’t happen on a phone or a tablet, Roberta
