Q and A with Elon Musk and Chris Thompson (SpaceX)

[shuttle_rtf]

Sorry about my "taking over as this morning's post whore" - I just don't get much time to post everywhere, so getting this all in while I can.<br /><br />We ran a Q and A with Chris Thompson, SpaceX VP of Development Operations, where people asked questions and we selected the best ones for Chris to answer. Ironically, when we got the answers back, Elon Musk decided he wanted to give some of the answers.<br /><br />We are looking to follow this up, so I'm opening it up to this site too.<br /><br />Firstly, links:<br /><br />http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1051&start=1 - the thread in which questions are asked. Elon might be coming on to the forum to answer questions live, in the style of Dr Stanley.<br /><br />http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?id=4254 - Elon and Chris' answers to the first round of questions.<br /><br />As with the Dr Stanley questions, please note I'm not in anyway requring anyone to leave the comfort of this forum. I'm offering you to post a question on this thread here, from which I'll copy the question across and link up this thread - visa versa with the answers.<br /><br />Motive is information. Some users on here are likely to have better questions, thus - as we all want to know as much as we can - I'm opening it up here, through whatever means you wish to pose your question.
