Nuclear Energy Development and Slowing Climate Change

13. Elon Musk was honest - he didn't blame "fear", he said "It's super-damn hard."

"There's a reason no one has invented a fully reusable rocket before," Musk explained. "It's super-damn hard."

It is anti-science to blame "fear" when the reason is "it's super-damn hard."

The reason we aren't on the Moon and Mars isn't because of "fear",
it's because "it's super-damn hard" (and that makes it super-damn expensive).

And Musk always acknowledges that he might not be able to do it.

To blame it on "fear" is anti-science, it diminishes the super-damn effort made by scientists to accomplish these things.

Musk almost went bankrupt pursuing this.
And he knows he still might not succeed.

The reason we don't have safer reactors is because "it's super-damn hard."
