I appreciate the rebuttal and I'm sorry for continuing a semantics debate... but....

Does it not require a vision to believe you can not only enter, but revolutionize an existing 'cutting edge' industry?

I guess it depends on how close other firms were to implementing or even considering vertical landing and recovery technology.

To my knowledge, SpaceX shifted the paradigm of space logistics. (Obviously not without help of established industry tech and experts)

In conclusion, I believe that to be at least somewhat visionary.

Lol if he (his company) can revolutionize space travel with a pet project... that's pretty damn good.

Seems like a vision with a massively successful follow through to me.

Can you Imagine if NASA still had to completely rely on Russia in this current geopolitical climate for space travel?

Edit: He may be a POS in ways and benefited off major public-funding support, but let's appreciate the nuance and reality of life.

SpaceX existing is critical for the USA. Unfortunately NASA couldn't do it alone thanks to their standard (lack of) funding levels.

Happy to be corrected if wrong.
