I can't wait until someone makes an advertisement for PayPal's Space Program. Imagine being on a trip to Mars aboard "PayPal Space One" spaceship, with only 4 more months to travel when suddenly on your navigation LCD screen a message pops up from PayPal saying "Sorry, your oxygen supply has been limited. You will have access to it again in 180 days".
And PayPal may just become the first company ever to be sued by aliens, for blocking access to alien funds.

Woa. They have a grandiose vision for the future.
One day, PayPal will do something really stupid like freeze the paypal account of major visible customers and get massive customer backlash.
Once the US government put their nose into their business, things will change.

As a 40 Something, this makes Musk a "Visionary" in the eyes of Wall Street and almost GUARANTEES that he can raise ANY amount of money for a business Venture,,,
So now he most likely went back to the people he sold Paypal to,,struck a deal and together they formed and New Subsidiary company to paypal.
With all the Scientist and Geeks working for him at SpaceX, along with the ones at Paypal as well as the infrastructure for an Online payment platform that he built for Paypal, it is a "No Brainer",,

By the way it also means that EVERY Paypal account would REQUIRE an SSN attached to it,,,so maybe it is best to leave this one alone

I'm sure that the day will come when space travel is not much different from air travel today. But I don't see that happening in our lifetimes. Maybe for some of the younger members of the forum, but not for old guys like me.
The first problem is resources - it would be expensive to get oxygen and medicine, etc. to any colonies, even if just on the moon. And as far as other planets go, they would need to invent a way of traveling faster than we are now capable of.
The only thing I see coming in the next few years is the space tourism vehicles from Virgin Galactic taking people up into space, just outside the Earth's atmosphere for ten minutes (or whatever small amount of time) so they can experience weightlessness and have bragging rights to say they were actually in outer space.
But maybe I'm wrong. PayPal might SECRETLY be on other planets already - most of their policies don't seem like they make any sense on THIS planet, maybe they were developed with alien life forms in mind....

Take your pick.
The beast that is paypal can be harnessed as it operates at the moment.
Let the next generation deal with extra-terrestial changes. |  |
