Blasty McBlastblast Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Inviting artists, musicians, and film makers along is fiendishly clever! How better to reach into the dreams & aspirations of the masses than by co-opting the very people who already control what we see and hear all day long?

Mitchz95 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) I may have misheard, but I think Elon just confirmed that Yasuka was one of the two people who commissioned the Dragon 2 moonshot.
