ELON MUSK WAS DREAMING BIG when he founded SpaceX in 2002 at the tender age of 30. He's the first to admit all tne mistakes he has made in what may prove to be a quixotic quest to help humanity evolve into a multiplanet species. But what irks him the most is that 18 years later—and with age 50 clearly in sight—Musk is still waiting to fly people in space. "It's great that we're about to launch people to orbit; it's been a long time—18 years.
