While embarrassing, you’re 30 years old - nobody really cares about that shit unless they’re super religious or 14 years old.

Of course, family will tease you until you die, but that’s because you’re taking it too seriously.

And - most importantly - you’ve got a great story to tell at parties. Seriously.

This. Horrible human, brilliant visions that are changing the world - and he has the $$ and connections to pull it off (or write it off). A viable electric car market would still be 5+ years away without Tesla. High speed internet wouldn’t exist in rural areas in the foreseeable future. Ok, the Mars mission is a bit of a stretch, but, through this, he’s now DoD/NASAs go to for launching satellites. Way cheaper and great track record.

We’re you looking for life-altering revelations or to just enjoy the trip with friends?

I’m generally pretty content with life, but, while maybe not truly life altering, I’ve had a number of fairly profound revelations (which is quite difficult to explain to folks that haven’t had similar experiences). Not so much if done in a group, but I quite like leaving my group for 20 or so minutes to just let my mind wander then come back to recenter.
