How could Elon Musk make such outrageous claims when we have known since 1960 how expensive and ridiculous such claims are. There is no way we could ever get cargo into space for less than $1,000,000 a pound let alone land on the moon. Next thing he will be claiming is that he can make a re-useable rocket that can land itself - outrageous! ....

Err wait, ... I thought you were talking about SpaceX.... sorry...

Just to prevent misunderstandings
