Jason Calacanis on SpaceX's Unknown Origin Story: Elon Wanted to Back Up the Biosphere in Space! @Jason: “Most people don't remember this, but when @elonmusk was starting SpaceX, the original idea when he was running around with Adeo and they were looking at some rockets and getting carriage from Russian rockets was to back up the biosphere.” “And he came back from that trip and I remember talking to him about it and he said, ‘I think I just have to make my own rockets because that's actually where the problem is, and it would be easier just to make my own rocket to back up the biosphere.’ And he wanted to put geo-domes, like geodesic domes in space, with all the plants, wildlife, and creatures. What incredible vision. And then there was the necessity of actually getting that up into space, and that's the unknown origin story.”
