We break down what Americans think about Musk, the megarich, and whether too much wealth is becoming too much power.\n\nThen, we turn to the future of America’s space program after Blue Origin’s rocket explosion. Americans are proud of NASA and support space exploration, but many are still unsure whether private companies can deliver on the promises being made about the moon and Mars.\n\nAnd, finally, our fun fact sticks with the space theme -- in this case, space travel for the rest of us."}
