| 1. Musk's biggest challenge will be retaining control of his company. |

If SpaceX follows the usual development profile, the company will go public and Musk will lose control to a board-of-directors that will be interested in the next quarter's bottom line, not the future of humanity. Look what happened to Google.
His best strategy would be to split off planning for future, privately funded space missions to a non-profit foundation with him as head.
