#6  The article may be paid or fan promotion of Elon Musk. Although it's partly correct, everyone already knows it I'm sure.

Funny aside: The idea of overcoming the limitations of the human body reminds me of a Buddhist parable about a traveler who builds a raft to cross a river. The wise traveler abandons the raft once he’s across because the tool has done its job That traveler probably became the first Dalai Lama. So clever Tibet pun
