I'm going to call it like I see it. I don't like him. I've never liked him. He's a rich, arrogant, smug.... I'll let you figure out the rest. But if going into space and bragging about it wasn't enough, now he wants to fund a 3B dollar project so he can attempt to achieve immortality?
Good luck with that one, man. This isn't something we're supposed to do. Death is an unfortunate reality, and you can have all the money, power, intellect and influence in the world and at the end of the day, he's going to come up short.
And he isn't doing it for the sake of mankind. He's doing it for himself. But I'll tell ya this, I may not have much, but I'll take my rags over his riches any day of the week. I'm content with what I have. Always have been, always will be.
This man doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself. If I saw him on the street, I'd neither be star nor awestruck. Please excuse my French this evening.
