NASA could do it with enough funding, but that would require the government to increase their budget, which would take years, and in the end, NASA would become political because it is taking funds away from the military, which space explorations do not need. On the other hand Teslas are inventions in my opinion because of the fact that till the model S no electric car had very good designs, was fast or could reach even half of the oil cars total miles on one full tank, but now with the new roadster coming out it will be able to drive as much as the oil car and more than gas cars. Also, you are right that a Tesla car is not 100% good for the environment, but it is much better than any other cars pollutant amount.

This is more my personal opinion, but I think the military's budget should be reduced quite a lot, and funding NASA has always been political. The introduction of profit motive into space exploration cannot be a good thing. Also, Elon Musk didn't really invent anything to do with the Teslas, and it's actually more environmentally friendly to keep your old car than it is to get a new Tesla.

I mean what furthers technology and the world other than businesses competing. Also, it is better to keep your old car, but when it eventually does breakdown it is of course better to buy an electric car. The last thing is that Elon did not invent it directly, but he certainly helped it be invented.

I mean what originally furthered the space race was government funding on the US side, and socialism on the USSR side. And anyone, even the government could have facilitated the inventions facilitated by Musk, he just has a bunch of money.

But also many people thought going to space would be useless and that a space exploration company could exist was thought to be impossible and wrong for businesses to enter such an industry. That is why I admire Musk he took a chance with SpaceX and Tesla even though everyone laughed at him for thinking Space X could get as good as NASA and that an electric car company could compete with giant car companies.

Elon Musk didn't even found Tesla, he just bought the title of founder. I don't really care that he took a chance on Space X because imo it was an immoral thing to do.

Tesla was looked down upon before Elon took over and made it famous and as for SpaceX, they do work with NASA so I do not know what you mean by immoral as if the best scientists in America if not in the world have no complaints then IDK what the problem would be.

Musk didn't really do anything. He just got lucky and was already rich. I think space should be a public space, and  intrusion by private companies is unethical imo.

Technically Elon is in a lot of debt because he keeps buying shares of his company so much so that he has to borrow money from capital banks. And he doesn't even see any of his shares. In the end, you won't change your mind and neither will I so let's just agree to disagree cause I don't have any new rebuttals left. so good debate!
