I like trying to go to mars to colonize. I don't, however, think


Boeing will get there faster than anyone else. I think they are too big and cumbersome of an organization to do something THAT big in scale. Shareholders in Boeing like stability.... one space-disaster will nix everything. I think Musk and Space-X are more in-tune with these risky ventures and have a better ability to bounce back.

I do, however, like them throwing their hat into the ring, even if just as an academic venture. The more discussion and competition, the better.
