> Bryan isn't being scammed, Bryan just wants to feel like he's a part of something greater and is willing to pay for that. It's not surprising that space travel would be the thing to inspire vast amounts of retail investors to behave in that manner.

Heck, some centuries ago you could buy indulgences to fund the building of St. Peter's Basilica. Maybe the feeling is real, maybe it's to justify the greed to one's self (like you seem to be doing), but just like the Church was selling the idea of a great eternal afterlife to rob you, this company is selling the idea of an interstellar future to do the same.

The church had to actively nag for those indulgences, with SpaceX people have been desperate to get their money in for years and years without SpaceX even asking for it.

For what it's worth, I do not own any spcx shares. I just think there's something fascinating happening here, and dismissing it as a mere scam because we dislike Elon Musk would be silly.

It is also, perhaps, one of the easiest and more effective ways in which an individual can vote for such a future.

Geez, you still sound like a Catholic who believes in the idea of heaven, proud to say there's a couple of billion people just like you.

SpaceX will get us the interstellar future just as much as the Pope will get us to heaven... just put more faith in it!!!

I don’t believe in either of those things, I simply respect others’ right to do so.
