SpaceX, Elon Musk, and Reusable Rockets with Eric Berger

Interview by John Batchelor

Our guest today is Eric Berger, senior space writer for Ars Technica. His new book is Reentry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets that Launched a Second Space Age.

We go immediately to Guadalajara, Mexico. It is September, 2016.

Elon Musk, a well-to-do success for Tesla, is speaking on his vision for SpaceX. It is surprising in that it begins to sound like the science fiction books that I bought drugstores in the 1950s and 60s. It's about Mars.

What does Mr. Musk tell the room, and how do they react to the idea that he's building a space company to leave the Earth?
